10T Records is proud to announce the release of the brand new full length CD
release by From.UZ, entitled “Seventh Story” on February 15, 2010. This will
be the Uzbekistan-based band’s 3rd official release on 10T Records. From.UZ lit up the prog and
fusion scene with their previous two releases, consistently garnering spots on critics’ top 10
lists and drawing comparisons to such stalwarts as Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report and
Liquid Tension Experiment. Reenergized with a fresh new lineup of world-class musicians, the
band returns with a new selection of intensely melodic hard prog-rock fusion. On “Seventh
Story”, From.UZ continues in the musical direction they have already established, while
simultaneously stretching into adventurous new territory. Vitaly Popeloff (guitars) and
Albert Khalmurzaev (keyboards), the compositional core of the original band, remain on board
to guide the musical direction. New are Igor Elizov (grand piano & keyboards), Ali Izmailov
(percussion) and Surat Kasimov (bass). The music has become broader in its dimension through
both new instrumentation (grand piano, xylophone & tubular bells), and the addition of vocals
for the first time, supplied by Popeloff himself, with Elizov and
Khalmurzaev singing backing vocals. Selected tracks from “Seventh Story” are immediately
available to preview in their entirety at 10t Records. Additionally, “Seventh Story” is available for immediate shipping to distributors and pre-sales are now being taken. All pre-sales will ship prior to the official release date of February 9, 2010. After February 9, “Seventh Story” will be available at your favorite retail outlet for immediate purchase.
Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio will embark on a UK and European on April 17. Featuring Lou Reed (processed & unprocessed guitars & mini continuum), Ulrich Krieger (tenor sax & live-electronics), and Sarth Calhoun (live processing & continuum fingerboard), the Metal Machine Trio concerts, although influenced and inspired by Reed’s seminal 1975 album “Metal Machine Music”, won’t duplicate the original album, but will instead opt for entirely new, unique music, noise and soundscapes. To coincide with the UK & European tour dates, Lou Reed will release a newly re-mastered edition of the original 1975 “Metal Machine Music” album on 180 gram double gatefold vinyl, Audio DVD & Blu-ray. Each format features a stereo reproduction of the original quadraphonic master, playable on home theatre systems.
