In 1932, a group from the remote town of Pik Grandisonyy, situated in the Vostochnyy Sayan near the Mongolian border, set out to escape the Great Famine and headed west. Having eaten their livestock, the villagers were forced to walk.; the journey would take two years. This collection represents some of the songs they sang on their way.

1. Redintegrate
NO IS FOR NOISE REDUCTION
Since 1953, The Hafler Trio has continued to implement the disuputed findings of the acoustic researcher Robert Spridgeon. ‘Redintegrate’ is a compendium of details taken from recordings made since that time, many of which are included more extensively than on [the above releases]. Each bears out Spridgeon’s deposition: ‘Until man can learn to set himself from himself, what he is from what he does, there can be no real hope of creation’.
Redintegrate was sponsored by EDGAR RODGERS and The Bureaux Clothing Group, established in 1982. The cassette, which was packaged in a Magnam Products Microcase, contained a folded card [see above] and, separately, with 3 postcards by Panni Charrington. Design: Jon Wozencroft

a spiritual journey
A Film by Panni Charrington
SILENT TONGUES is a work of art exposing a world of beautiful images and symbols which reveal and express the journey towards an inner truth. It is a rich tapestry of sound and images which are bound together by texts from some of the oldest teachings in the world, the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.
SILENT TONGUES is a poetic and spiritual journey through India featuring her ancient and devotional practices, especially those of the Sadhus and Yohis. For thousands of years, Indian society has recognised and valued the need for union within the divine. The divine spirit is worshipped in many extraordinary forms and the path to the spiritual goal is many and varied, often intense and profound, sometimes dangerously extreme.
The film took 13 years to make.
Musicians featured in the soundtrack include Zia Fariduddin Dagar and Ritwik Sanjal, Kadir Durvesh, Bajuli Shrivastav, Tarun Bhattacharya and Rolo McGinty.
The cosmic dance is performed by Unni Krishnan.
“Like the sharp edge of a razor, the sages say, is the path. Narrow it is and difficult to tread”.

TOUCH: RITUAL [T5c]
The celebrity is a person tuned into an abstract. Their status has little to do with their achievement (or lack of it) but everything to do with their ability to fit in with the demands of the new mass media ritual. This involves availability, accessibility, pliability and respectability – ‘shocking’ people are carefully dropped in to add spice or to populate ghettos. As they parade across the surface of the electronic media, celebrities become symbols (and, occasionally, victims), members of the televisual elite encouraging emulation and aspiration – the modern call to prayer.
