The City Swept the Wind Away by Jim Fox Sealed in digipak $10 Los Tigres de Marte by Daniel Lentz Sealed in digipak $10 |
Cold
Blue
was started in the early 1980s (in the days of vinyl). Through a series of
10-inch eps and 12-inch lps, the label released music by Daniel Lentz (Point
Conception, After Images, etc), Peter Garland (The Matachin
Dances and Three Strange Angels), Barney Childs (Clay Music),
Chas Smith (Santa Fe and Beatrix), James Tenney, Ingram
Marshall, Harold Budd, Michael Byron, Michael Jon Fink, Rick Cox, and
others. By the time of its demise a few years later, Cold Blue was recognized by many new-music critics as a label with a unique focus—particularly West Coast minimalism and post-minimalism. Reemerging after a fifteen-year hiatus, Cold Blue releases five to six new CDs per year. "Though just under 23 minutes, The City and Wind Swept Away . . . seems to linger in the air (and the ear) much longer. Delicate and open throughout." —Molly Sheridan, NewMusicBox (American Music Center) "When it comes to attempts at musical seduction, Daniel Lentz's music is way out front." —Kyle Gann, Village Voice |
