Emanem and psi CDs are changing to a new all-card packaging similar to that used by Ogun and Fledg’ling – no more ‘jewel boxes’. Thus, all Emanem CDs in the 5xxx series will be in this format, as will psi CDs numbered 09.01 onwards.
psi new releases - available March 30
EVAN PARKER 'Saxophone Solos' (1975) – psi 09.01
All of Evan Parker's first (soprano saxophone) concert recorded in London's Unity Theatre by Martin Davidson in 1975. Plus some slightly later studio solos recorded by Jost Gebers

PER ANDERS NILSSON (computer and synthesizer), STEN SANDELL (piano, prepared piano, electronics and voice) & RAYMOND STRID (percussion).
Beam Stone was founded a year before this October 2007 recording. The trio consists of three free improvisers, each with a distinctive personal sound. Their aim with Beam Stone is to explore sonic territories with the guidance of different pre-defined concepts. Listening and sonic exploration are considered the essential points of departure. 57 minutes.
LAWRENCE CASSERLEY & ADAM LINSON 'Integument' (2007) – psi 09.03
LAWRENCE CASSERLEY (signal processing instrument and voice) & ADAM LINSON (double bass, live processing and sampling) met first when Adam joined the Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble for the Free RadiCCAls festival at the CCA, Glasgow in November, 2004. They formed an almost instant rapport, which has continued ever since. During Lawrence’s European tour in May, 2007 they met again and performed with the Ensemble in Cologne, after which Lawrence spent several days in Berlin. For two of those days they recorded together in Adam’s studio. On the first day they stuck to their basic instruments - Adam on bass while Lawrence was processing. On the second day they experimented with adding Adam’s own processing and Lawrence’s voice to the mix. Most of the tracks on this CD come from the first day. The enthusiasm, excitement and energy of those sessions will be abundantly clear from this CD. 56 minutes.
AGUSTI FERNANDEZ 'Un llamp que no s'acaba mai' (2007) – psi 09.04
AGUSTÍ FERNÁNDEZ (piano), JOHN EDWARDS (double bass) & MARK SANDERS (drums).
Agustí Fernández's connection with the London scene grows stronger by the year. His trio with John Edwards and Mark Sanders brings him to the heart of things. Their set played at the Jazz Sigüenza 2007 festival in Spain comprised this free improvisation, which was captured by the fabulous ears of ace engineer Checa R Puértolas & mixer Feran Conangla. 47 minutes.
