EG 002 MIKE COOPER SPIRIT SONGS LP 01.2022
Originally released in 2005 on Mike Cooper's Hipshot Cd-r label, and reissued here
for the first time on vinyl, Spirit Songs deserves to be regarded as a true
rediscovered gem, remixed and remastered by Mike Copper himself. Spirit Songs comes
as a highly organic form of ambient-folk-blues with Cooper reordering material to
create an immersive listening experience. A stream of cut-up lyrics inspired by
Thomas Pynchon's writing slide across multiple electronic layers and masterfully
fingerpicked acoustic guitars combining into a moving tide. This is deeply inspired
music from a unique artist: Mike Cooper the so-called "icon of post-everything music"
a true sound explorer constantly pushing the boundaries of genres and styles, folk,
blues, free improv, exotica, ambient, electronica.

EG 003 MIKE OSBORNE OUTBACK LP 03.2021
Eargong Records present a reissue of Mike Osborne's Outback, originally released

Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Mike Westbrook, Harry Miller's Isipingo,
Mike Gibbs, and many others. Originally released in 1970, Outback is Mike Osborne's
debut album. This is open, passionate, and adventurous music performed at maximum
energy and profound inspiration, with Osborne leading a British/South-African all
star quintet with Harry Beckett (trumpet), Chris McGregor (piano), Harry Miller
(bass), and Louis Moholo (drums). Licensed from Turtle Records/Cherry Red.
