Ever since hearing Pete Tong announce "Chica Wappa" as his Essential New Tune back in 2004, Huntleys + Palmers have been following the bold Alex Smoke (aka Wraetlic) on his musical journey. Coming from Glasgow, the label and the artist have shared a lot of common influences, both from within and of the city. The label has Alex to thank for introducing and strengthening their love for the likes of Villalobos, Rhythm & Sound, Carl Craig, and Actress, amongst others. Although he was a familiar face on the "minimal" scene, he always operated on his own terms and that's a through-line that's been much admired throughout his career. Not only is he comfortable releasing techno on Soma and R&S, he's produced for ballet, films and even the NHS. Over the years, Alex has played at a few seminal parties alongside the likes of Oni Ayhun, James Holden, Helena Hauff, and Veronica Vasicka. It was thus a delight to be approached by him to work on Ad Absurdum together and it's been really exciting to hear it evolve over time. It would be arrogant to compare it to Thom Yorke's The Eraser (2006), but it certainly occupies a similar world. To still be producing innovative and inspiring albums 15 years into a career is no mean feat in this age and it's a great honor to welcome such a musical hero on to the label. As with the last Auntie Flo album, there will also be a special remix package with a swarm of favored producers of the moment. 180 gram vinyl.

Carefully Researched Gives Insight To 19Th Century Occurances of: American, Canada, and Mexico!
Format: Hardcover
This book is a treasure as it covers not only the American Civil War but what intricate details are behind it and more, in addition covers the same eras for the Dominion of Canada, and French take over of Mexico along with the factors leading to "Cinco De Mayo," and more. As an avid reader of American History also as a amature historian this book is carefully detailed and gives insight to the racial and political beliefs at the life and times of the 19Th. Century. It deserves a place on your bookshelf and/or library. In these contemporary times, I am still more than pleased the the border frontiers between the Republic of Canada and United States of America remain the: "Longest Undefended Borders" in the entire globe.

Another Thought Provoking Book
Format: Kindle
Having read Professor Taylor's American Republics I greatly anticipated this volume in his series. The examination of both the Canadian and Mexican stories in this book along with the American Civil War helps provide context to the traditional narrative. I find his approach useful as it shows how the interactions between the US and its neighboring nations evolved. I'm hoping he continues the series

A Minority View of our History
Format: Kindle
If you want to learn more about American history from the perspective of minorities, this is a crowning achievement. It is long so I focused on reading the chapters on the US and it gave me an understanding of just how brutal the challenges were but how significant the slow process of building our multicultural society was as well.

Eye opening!
Format: Hardcover
I've read tons of books and biographies connected to American history, perhaps because I'm the son of immigrants, but have never read a survey like this one. By describing in luscious and sometimes horrific detail the wars being fought in Mexico and the main Canadian provinces alongside our Civil War, we get patterns, intersections, and insights that simply would not be available reading about any one struggle. I love this book which is teeming with wonderful portraits and dramatic scenes.

A worthy and worthwhile fourth volume in the series
Format: Kindle
Once again, Taylor frames a critical period of the past in terms of the continent of North America and ties the US Civil War to the one occurring concurrently in Mexico and Canada's move toward Dominion. All thoughtfully told and expertly researched.
