New Release:
The new release, Two City Blues 2 by the trio of Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke & Peter Brötzmann had an official release date of January 11, 2015. We don't see it available online yet, but we note that the Trost Records website reports, "an intense meeting of
three intense musicians: two sets at the Pit Inn, Tokyo - one on cd, one on lp". As a matter of clarification, Two City Blues 2 is the cd (catalog # TR 128) release with a release date of January 11, 2015. Two City Blues 1 is the lp (catalog # TR 126) release with a release date of June 3, 2015. Update: There is a great deal of variability on the release date of the cd and lp depending upon the source. One U.S. distributor has both cd and lp for pre-order with expected release dates of February 17, 2015 (cd) and March 17, 2015 (lp).
