‘DANSEPARC’ REISSUED BY MUFFIN MUSIC JUNE 25TH AND CHERRY RED RECORDS IN THE UK AUGUST 4TH
After 25 years since its original release in 1983, the wait for the reissue of Danseparc is over! Stockhausen collides with punk funk in an aural collage of rhythm and found sound as one of the most sought after MatM recordings is reissued on the 25th anniversary of its 1983 debut on vinyl. The second of three albums co-produced with Daniel Lanois with a guest appearance from John Oswald of Plunderphonics fame on alto sax. Includes Obedience, World Without Borders, Walking Into Walls, Danseparc, Sins Of Children, Several Styles Of Blonde Girls Dancing, Boys In The Bushes, What People Do For Fun and Whatever Happened To Radio Valve Road?
3 additional bonus tracks include the original extended dance version of Danseparc, These Dangerous Machines and a live version of Sins Of Children from MatM’s performance at Ontario Place in 1983 featuring avant-guitarist Michael Brook. The 16 page booklet includes lyrics, never seen before photos and video stills.
"Danseparc…is an impressive attempt to put full-fledged philosophical concepts into a popular music form, and a giant step forward for the band that has continually proved itself one of the most forward thinking in Canadian pop music."
- Liam Lacey, GLOBE AND MAIL, February 26, 1983
"…Danseparc…is simply one of the most satisfying albums of the year…From the evocative, Vaseline-lens treatment of the title cut to Walking Into Walls' classic '80s dialogue to Johnson's wry commentary on What People Do For Fun, the group addresses rarely-mined contemporary topics with disarming precision and unassailable musicality."
- Alan Kellogg, EDMONTON JOURNAL, April 7, 1983
"Every once in a while an album is released that is void of pretense, sparked with an effervescent originality, injected with real power, true emotion and sarcastic intelligence, bursting at its seams with thumping atomic energy…Danseparc…is such an album."
- Gorman Belhard, WATERBURY AMERICAN, June 9, 1983
"Plenty of great noise abounding here, especially on the aptly titled ‘Obedience’ and the bongo-driven ‘Boys In The Bushes’…’I am using you, am I amusing you?’, coos the cucumberly Ms. Martha while keyboards swirl, guitars scratch and guest saxophones wail all around..."
- CREEM MAGAZINE, Sept. 1983
I also got sent ‘PARCTALK – A ONE-SIDED CONVERSATION ABOUT DANSEPARC’
Concurrent with the reissue of Danseparc is Parctalk, a promotional interview with Mark Gane and Martha Johnson, recorded in 1983 to help introduce the album Danseparc to radio stations. As was typical at the time, the interviewer’s questions were edited out, leaving only the artists’ answers which were pressed as a limited number of vinyl LPs. These LPs, along with a list of the original questions, were distributed as free promotional material to selected radio stations. DJs then recorded themselves asking the questions and edited them back into the conversation with the artists’ pre-recorded answers – making the interview sound as though it were done especially for that particular station.
At some point, the master list of questions was lost while the original tape recording remained in storage until now. 25 years after this interview was recorded, the only surviving part of the conversation are the replies to questions that now no longer exist. You can still find out about the ideas and philosophy behind the music as well as insights into collaborating with Daniel Lanois and members of the band, even without the questions! Includes a bonus track of a 1983 unreleased version of Danseparc mixed by Daniel Lanois. At this time, Parctalk is a limited edition release available only from Muffin Music!

That is her best IMHO and that's saying something when her previous two CDs were better than most singer song writers could aspire to. My album of the year so far, except for CSI:Ambleside which is its equal.
Enjoy it - Karine is a true star.

Great classic sale at the local record store -
These just arrived from Amazon, catching up with my wish list with quite a few forum recommendations.
Also got one of the Music Collectorz scanners which really does make cataloging cd's a doddle.

My CD buying is only averaging 2-3 per month compared to 30-40 LP per month.
A mixed bag. Nice atmospheric recording though.
