Re-Action Recordings

Talent Borrows - Genius Steals!



We formed in April 2005 - it's been a hard slog at times, but hey, it now feels like we're running rather than walking. Furthermore, the quality and diversity of the available music thus far speaks for itself!



Released so far:-



Junkbox - Junkbox



Special Needs - Funfairs and Heartbreak



Spike Priggen - There's No Sound In Flutes



Malcolm Ross - Wrong Place Wrong Time



The Primary 5 - Go!



Simon Breed - The Filth and Wonder of.



Adventure Club - Wilderness Music



Serotone - Equilibria



That was pretty much us for 2007. 2008 has been, for one reason or another, (but mainly the current state of the music industry), a pretty lean year for Re-Action - only two download singles, Dave Graney's epic '68 Babe, and Simon Breed's vaguely Bunnymen-esque Finish My Book. The one physical release, the excellent Simon Breed long-player The Smitten King Laments, received a barrage of glowing reviews in both the UK and Europe, drawing comparisons with John Cale, Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker and Nick Cave!!!



Currently, there are two more physical releases and several digital downloads scheduled over the next few months and into 2009. Both, see Re-Action going back to its roots, by virtue of the fact that both bands are Scottish, and strangely enough both feature a member of the legendary Edinburgh band, Josef K. First up will see Josef K guitarist, Malcolm Ross, on a one-off album collaboration with Glasgow's excellent The Low Miffs - expect something along the lines of Television and James Chance in a head-on avant-jazz car crash with Jaques Brel and Bertolt Brecht!!!



Secondly, and possibly next year, will see the release of the fantastic art-rock album recently recorded by Edinburgh's The Cathode Ray (Television reference anyone?) featuring ex Josef K singer/guitarist Paul Haig, and various other luminaries of the glory days of Edinburgh in the early '80's. Echoes of Lou Reed and Tom Verlaine with a splash of Beach Boys' pop!!
