It's the most wonderful time of the month!  John Schaefer sifts through the deluge of CDs (and digital offerings) which has flooded his office to find a sampling of new releases worthy of showcasing in tonight's New Sounds program.  There's new guitar music, maybe best described as "zen-shred," from Ben Greenberg, aka "Hubble," (he of Zs and Pygmy Shrews) from his hypnotic solo space odyssey, "Hubble Drums." 

Also, expect some music of the Bayaka people from the Oka! soundtrack, new instrumental music from violinist Jenny Scheinman and her co-conspirators Nels Cline, Jim Black & Todd Sickafoose, and music for piano and electronics by "Blue Gene Tyranny."  Plus, an overlooked gem, "We Are Rising," from Son Lux, (previously lost on the desk) and more.
