Titolo: [Novità dalla Woronzow records] il nuovo di TONY HILL...

WORONZOW NEWS
Fresh from the pressing plant, and sitting in our respective
halls as I write, are the new CDs from Tony Hill and
thebrotheregg. Tony's CD is his first ever solo effort. I'm sure
you know that he was the guitarist with, among others, The
Misunderstood and High Tide. It's full of great songs, all brand
new, written specially for this project. His singing is
wonderful, and his guitar playing is totally unique. We were also
very ar playing was as good as ever.
He was a little less sure of his ability to write songs again,
but before long he'd amassed a really wonderful selection of
brand new archetypical material. Basically, it sounded like he
was picking up where the second High Tide album ended. We then
called up original High Tide bassist Pete Pavli, who came down
from his nest in West Wales and played on three tracks. Ace
violinist, Matt Kelly contributed some searing violin passages,
while Andy Ward laid down rock solid drums. Ade supplied bass to
the tracks Pete didn't play on, and I added occasional keyboards
and guitar. The sessions went superbly well, Tony was in fine
form both vocally and (instru)mentally. The result is
'Inexactness', his first ever solo album, and first appearance on
record for well over a decade. I can honestly say that for all
concerned it's a dream come true. We reckon it's a work of rare
genius, and we're pretty sure you will too. Inexactness is simply
Tony doing what Tony does best, singing great songs and playing
killing guitar. Forget those spurious out-takes and rehearsal
albums with added drum machine that were put together in the
eighties. This is the logical successor to the High Tide legacy.
The unique and unmistakable sound of Tony Hill flying high once
again. And not before time!

thebrotheregg: 
snowflake & fingerprint machine
What can you say about a new album from a relatively unknown band
that doesn't sound like a load of hype? Only that if we didn't
think it was a masterpiece, we wouldn't have put it out. Let's
face it, Woronzow is a small company and every title we issue is
to some degree a bit of a gamble. Therefore, we can only commit
ourselves to projects that we genuinely adore. You've probably
never heard of  thebrotheregg. Well, they're from Portland,
Oregon, and they've been in existence for several years. They
supported The Frond the first time we played there back in 1998,
and were extremely friendly and helpful to us. Our van had broken
down in Montana, and we'd had to leave much of our equipment (and
our roadie) there, while it was being repaired. We arrived in
Portland in a hired jeep. thebrotheregg lent us their equipment,
and even ran the merchandise stall for us. As a result we stayed
in touch. Earlier this year, a demo CD plopped through the
Woronzow letter box. It was thebrotheregg's new album. They'd
sent it around and had no response, and wondered what we thought.
To be honest, we had no idea what to expect, as the line-up was
completely different apart from their mainman, Adam Goldman.
Within ten minutes of sticking it on the CD player, we knew we
had to put it out on Woronzow. 'Snowflake & Fingerprint Machine'
is a stone cold work of genius. One of the best thing we've heard
for years. It's as simple as that. Adam's been working on this
album for two whole years! And it shows. It's complex without
being too anal, it's beautifully produced. The songs are strange,
twisted ballads full of odd imagery and unexpected tangents, but
always fantastically melodic. Great harmonies, and wonderful
playing on an array of usual and unusual instruments. You've got
your guitars, keyboards, bass (mostly upright string bass) and
drums, but also brass sections, theremins, electronic effects,
string sections, analogue synths and lot more. It's a magnificent
piece of work which we truly believe dumps all over Mercury Rev,
Flaming Lips, Sparklehorse and all that. Who's nominating albums
for the Mercury Prize these days? They ought to give this a
listen. Then again maybe not; we couldn't have a winner who
hasn't been promoted at all, who hasn't been the poodle of the
press, and who isn't on a wealthy label now, could we? As we've
said already, this is something very special. But don't take our
word for it, find out for yourself. We promise you won't be
disappointed.
