Recommended & Related Releases:

	Juice Machine Broken And Dilapidated (Love Earth Music)
An apt description for the layers of sonic decay and deteriorated sounds, loops and errata that underpin each of the five tracks on this elusively restrained noise album, Juice Machine, aka Roger H. Smith (Chefkirk) and Heather Chessman, use mangled field recordings and concrete elements of blurred looping structures and aberrant interjection, each unique work a fascinating curiosity.

	Brighton, Ian Marsh Gas [REISSUE] (FMR)
Reissuing the 1977 album from UK guitarist Ian Brighton, written as an instrumental story for children, apparently very sophisticated children, in a mix of composed and freely improvised passages, using non-idiomatic approaches with unusual and extended techniques, open atmospheric passages and strange transitions, a peculiar and wonderful album of imaginative playing.

Other Recommended Releases:

	Ironing & Juice Machine S/T (Hymns)
The Ironing project of Gainesville, Florida turntable and electronic artist joins with the Virginia-based Juice Machine duo of Roger Smith and late experimental musician Heather Chessman, both on electronics, tapes & sampler, for six unusual constructions of strange grooves over which concrete and obscure sounds swim about with a sense of wonder and humor.

	Chefkirk Giant Size (Love Earth Music)
Eight distinctive works for electronics and sound from the alter ego of Roger H. Smith, using noise, percussive elements and unusual synthetics, layered around static and arpeggiated rhythms and punctuated with strange asides, the works run from 3:14 to 18:37 and were developed over a year and half; an excellent introduction to the sonic diversity Chefkirk revels in.
