Alex Anthony Faide - Particles of the Infinite (March 18, 2022 7d Media)

“Alex Anthony Faide plays my guitar parts better than I do”
- Robert Fripp (King Crimson)

Inspired by and developed from concepts found in songs such as King Crimson’s “Fracture” and “Lark’s Tongues in Aspic,” Faide takes the work beyond the stratosphere into the mirror dimension to find something completely his own.

Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Guitarist/Composer Alex Anthony Faide has a decades-long international reputation for being the secret weapon in rock recordings, arrangements, and stage productions in Europe and Latin America.

Now based in Seattle, WA, Faide releases his long-awaited solo record – Particles of the Infinite – a display of guitar pyrotechnics in nine parts. Features special guest drummers Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson), Matt Chamberlain (David Bowie) and Alessandro Inolti (Echotest).

AKKU Quintet / Manuel Pasquinelli - Live (February 18, 2022 7d Media)

“Live” takes you on a 75-minute long musical journey and
leads you into the cosmos of Swiss-based AKKU Quintet
led by drummer and composer Manuel Pasquinelli (also
known for his work with Sonar & David Torn). It contains
five songs from different stages of the group's history,
recorded at various locations between 2016 and 2020.
You’ll hear the touch and character of each player, acting
as a part of the ensemble to create this atmospheric,
minimalistic yet livingly driving music.

“They take the ‘Swiss zen maximalist/minimalist approach’ of Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin, Sonar, and Schnellertollermeier to a different, but utterly logical conclusion. Fabulous stuff. Recommended!”
- Steve Feigenbaum, Cuneiform Records

1. Waves (Live)
2. Polar (Live)
3. Deep Sleep I (Live)
4. Schneemann (Live)
5. Deep Sleep II (Live)
