This record is only available through Rough Trade UK. It can be purchased here. The Chilton record I go to first nowadays is Like Flies on Sherbert, which I feel is his masterpiece. Yeah, it's a fucked-up record, but that turns me on. I think the record is more produced than most people think, but that the idea of primitive musical chaos is played up to incredible effect. I don't think it's easy to make a record that sounds like Like Flies on Sherbet, one that is compelling and listenable...To...

As one critic memorably put it, when Nico spoke it was like coffin-lids creaking. When she sang it was like listening to ravens taking off 13 at a time. Nico was like nothing rock music had ever seen or heard before or since. In Paris in the seven year gap between the recording of The End and the release of Drama Of Exile, Nico appeared to be doing little more than...

Released in an extremely limited number of copies in '64, this is the first-ever reissue of one of his rarest...

Arriving in 1978, X-Dreams is an infatuating and resolutely feminine free-form exploration of the politics and dynamics of sex. In the pursuit to reconcile the duality of attraction & repulsion and love & cruelty, the album oscillates between an assertive opening side and a sweeter side B. Assembling a crew of 22 musicians (including Mick Ronson on guitar and Bill Bruford on drums), Peacock delivers impassioned vocal performances alongside an improvisational jazz-rock fusion masterpiece of...

Released in 1979, this prophetic stew of spoken word, jazz, and funk from Annette Peacock was wildly ahead of its time and is still salient today. Her unflinching examinations of capitalism, sex, religion, et al. are underscored by lengthy, gorgeous grooves. Peacock wields her voice with wild abandon, at times delivering a melody like a Beat poet while other times wailing out of her throat like a saxophone, hitting blue notes as she pleases. Where most musicians riff, she creates sonic space....
