Anton Barbeau Berlin, Germany
Anton Barbeau plays "pre-apocalyptic psychedelic pop." He's a Taurus, born in Sacramento and now living by a canal in
Berlin. He's made something like 30 albums and has worked with members of XTC, The Soft Boys, the Bevis Frond, Cake, the Loud Family, Elf Power and
the Corner Laughers. Julian Cope got him stoned in Croydon once. His new album, Manbird, ain't bad at all.

Poppy Seeds
by The Corner Laughers
This is a band that began in brilliance and only gets brighter, deeper and darker with every passing thought. Lovely, inspired and inspiring, perfectly performed and produced.

This is the album for which the term "inventive" was invented. I was hooked from the first spin. The writing/arranging/performance/production is impeccable and charming as hell.

STAND TALL SON
by The Point Of R.e.a.l.ization.
It's tripped-out, hypnotic, mysterious and sometimes soft. It's a great record simply because it is.

Life After Infinity
by Robyn Hitchcock
supported by 10 fans who also own “I Saw Syd”
I'm still a little blown away by the fact that one of my guitar influences released an instrumental guitar album on the same day as me and I didn't realize it. But I've listened to it twice now and it gets better with every play. In places it's like Syd Barret, Robby Krieger, and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra are having a jam session.

Castlebeat’s “VHS” offsets bright, jangly songs with smoky, lo-fi production, giving their pie-eyed melodies a sense of mystery.
