the emotional tribute to Albert Ayler - by Peter Brötzmann, Toshinoro Kondo, William Parker and Hamid Drake. originally released on cd 1994 by FMP, now on glorious heavy double vinyl on cien fuegos.
brötzmann: "The idea of expressing my love of and admiration for Albert Ayler - both man and music - in a musical statement is not new. We both tried to do similar or almost identical things at the same point in time, each independently and without knowing anything about each other - each of us within his own culture."

up for preorder!
for the first time on vinyl, the groundbreaking DIE LIKE A DOG recording "Fragments of music, life and death of ALBERT AYLER" by Peter Brötzmann, Toshinoro Kondo, William Parker and Hamid Drake. originally released on cd on FMP in 1994

as Brötzmann has written in the liner-notes: .., AND SOMEBODY, JUST SOMEBODY, PLEASE, LISTEN!
MANY people didn't listen to him, he was disputed until the end of his short life. Most of all the critics and organizers mostly didn't really know what to do with him. The audience, especially in Europe, loved him.
MUSIC IS THE HEALING FORCE OF THE UNIVERSE.. he believed in it.

we were so happy with and proud of them, when "our" heartfelt band Valina went to Steve Albini to record their album (and three more later). we loved his bands AND his sound, and Touch and Go Records was a tremendous influence on our labelwork.
