I was perusing my weekly copy of the Britrag NME (now back on the racks
after their strike is settled), and happened upon an advert for the 
RobertQuine/Fred Maher collaboration by EG records. In addition to their
normal catalog, it appears that they've picked up some interesting stuff
for release, including the most recent Jon Hassell "Magic Realism".

But of most interest was that they are re-releasing the entire original
Obscure Music catalog-all ten of them. THis series came around in the 
mid-seventies, and is a reasonably good study of British Post-Modernism
in the seventies (though some non-Brits are in the series)....Michael Nyman,
Gavin Bryars, David Toop, Max Eastley, the Penguin Cafe, Harold Budd, Christopher Aran, Jan Steele, Tom Phillips.

Its unclear whether or not EG will be releasing these recording domestically.
I am checking on that.

Listen Hard,
