release day!
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.

In 2015, after a lot of touring as a duo and some live cds, Peter Brötzmann and P**l Nilssen-Love decided to go to a studio and do some real recording - but after the sessions the mixing process somehow stopped and the sublime recordings went unfinished in a antwerp studio-safe...
then corona happened and BRÖ and PNL were eager to again work on it and get it out to the world. they asked us to jump in and of course Trost was happy to do so... some heavy months of mixing by Martin Siewert followed; Peter and P**l sending around beautful cover ideas, and at last there will happen 2 single LPs (later together on a CD) and a live LP/CD from that days, scheduled for 2024.
