Gary Lucas' Fleischerei
A rollicking tribute to animation genius Max Fleischer whose pioneering and surrealistic Popeye and Betty Boop cartoonshave had a huge impact on the psyches of so many artists, including R. Crumb, Woody Allen and Mat Groening. Gary has been haunted by their jazzy soundtracks since a boy, and here he puts together a crack 6-piece ensemble with Tony-nominee vocalist Sarah Stiles to perform some of the wacky and heartbreaking songs featured in the cartoons. The music ranges from hot Harlem jungle jazz to Tin Pan Alley torch songs, Broadway show tunes, plus a hint of klezmer, played by some of the greatest young jazz virtuosos today. Reviews have been off the chart! For more information click here
Track list: Sweet Betty | Don't Take My Boop-Oop-a-Doop Away | That's My Weakness Now | I Want a Clean Shaven Man | Penthouse Serenade (When We're Alone) | The Broken Record | The Music Goes 'Round and Around | Ain't Cha | Brotherly Love | Little Pal | Do Something | Beware of Barnacle Bill

Gary Lucas & Jann Klose
One of the most overtly "pop" moves in Gary's extensive catalog of 30 plus albums in a multitude of genres, STEREOPTICON strips the production way back to basics, spotlighting Gary's 1943 Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar picking and the incredible voice of singer Jann Klose—to create 10 mini-masterpieces of acoustic folk-pop, with a pronounced bluesy feel. Klose stacks up his vocal lines to harmonize with himself a la Brian Wilson while Lucas throws down some of the most complex and accessible fingerpicking he's ever committed to record before. Once you hear this record you will want to play it again and again and again...

Urfaust and Gary Lucas
A much sought after collector's item, released only in the Czech Republic in the mid-90's — but we have a few copies left! Based on actual Czech ghost stories, a hallucinatory and haunting concept album that marries Gary's Bohemian ghostly guitar style with Czech underground prog rock legends Urfaust — with inspired results! Produced by the legendary Richard "Faust" Mader, and featuring famous Czech avant-vocalist Mirka Krivankova ("Fire on Petrin"), worldclass jazz bassist Pavel Ryba, and the glorious pipes of Pat Fulgoni (leader of UK psych rock legends Kava Kava — listen to him wail on "Procuress from Karmelitska Street"). This group caused a scandal performing live on early morning national Czech TV — and you can hear why upon listening to this dark, hallucinatory eldritch treasure...

Gary's acclaimed second Gods and Monsters album — a bracing dip into the rushing streams of psychedelic rock, Appalachian folk, and off-the-wall unclassifiable art-pop on tunes like "After Strange Gods", "Jericho", and "Exit, Pursued by a Bear" — includes a killer acoustic solo cover of Percy Grainger's lovely "Children's March", a live tear through Arthur Russell's classic dance club anthem "Let's Go Swimming", and then there's "Cantina", a furious no-holds barred free-jazz assault on the senses — featuring longtime Gods and Monsters stalwart Jonathan Kane on drums, Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers) and Jean Chaine on bass, Sonya Cohen and Dina Emerson on vocals, and the immortal anti-glee club stylings of vocalists Kenny and Larry.
Track list: After Strange Gods | Poison I.V. League | Jericho | Children's March - Over the Hills and Far Away | Exit, Pursued by a Bear | I Want to Play Your Guitar | They Can't Believe He's Risen Again | Out From Under | Let's Go Swimming | The Nightmare of History | Vampire Circus | Cantina

This is the first Gods and Monsters album, and it's a classic all the way — from Anton Corbijn's famous cover photograph of Gary (an optical illusion? hint: turn the cover upside down!) to amazing songs and performances spanning the length and breadth of alternative rock, psych folk, and hell-bent-for-leather jazz-rock workouts (imagine a medley of Suicide and Miles Davis tunes) that earned this album 4 Stars in Rolling Stone and a pick as one of the Best Albums of 1992 in none other than the Wall Street Journal! Featuring Rolo McGinty (Woodentops), Jon Langford (Mekons), Mary Margaret O'Hara, bassists Jared Michael Nickerson and Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu), and drummers extraordinaire Keith LeBlanc (Tackhead) and Tony Thunder Smith (Lou Reed)...includes the best cover ever of Syd Barret-era Pink Floyd's "Astronomy Domine", and the ne plus ultra of Lucas' fiery guitar playing, the titanic instrumental maelstrom "King Strong".
Track list: Glo-Worm | Skin the Rabbit | Poison Tree | Jack Johnson/Ghostrider | Whip Named Lash | Fool's Cap | Astronomy Domine | The Brain From Planet Eros | Dream of a Russian Princess | The Crazy Ray | King Strong

DVDs
Sounds of the Surreal:
"Guitarist of 1000 Ideas" Gary Lucas accompanies 3 masterpieces of the early fantastic silent cinema with his original solo guitar scores, in a program commissioned by the film Society of Lincoln Center which he debuted at the Walter Reade Theater on Dec. 28th 2000. Since then he's gone on to sell out venues around the world with this heady brew of ghostly music and haunting images from a forgotten world...
Monsters from the ID:
"Monsters from the Id" finds Gary Lucas playing totally improvised solo guitar soundtracks to accompany and enhance clips from some of Gary's favorite horror and sci-fi sound films — color and black and white fever dreams and obsessions, including Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby", Mario Bava's "Black Sunday", "Mothra", "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad", "Village of the Giants", "Carnival of Souls", "The Brain that Wouldn't Die", the original "King Kong", and more...
The Films:
Entr'acte
Rene Clair, France, 1924
"Entr'acte" is, on one level, just what its title says: a short work intended to be shown between live performances. The original occasion was an evening of dadaism run amok, and "Entr'acte" held its own. The central event of the narrative is a funeral, but most of the participants, including the corpse, are dancers. The hearse is drawn by a camel. What a way to go!
Ballet Mecanique
Fernand Leger, France, 1924
The famous experimental short in which everyday images form abstract patterns. The only film by the legendary Cubist painter, it is a key to all subsequent surrealist experiments in cinema.
The Cameraman's Revenge
Ladislaw Starewicz, Russia, 1912
An outlandishly humorous morality play involving 4 insects, two clandestine trysts, and one hell-bent-for-revenge photographer. Starewicz was one of the earliest and most unique pioneers of stop-motion animation. Bizarre and beautiful!
The source prints are superb, and the live soundtrack was recorded in excellent full stereo sound. Includes a spoken commentary by Gary Lucas about the films and project — and includes a surprise extra (or two)!
Gary Lucas' original solo guitar scores recorded live at the Porgy and Bess Club, Vienna, 9/16/07

This DVD includes the complete 1920 film accompanied by Gary Lucas' original solo guitar score on the soundtrack—now upgraded visually using the best source print currently available ("restored" and colour tinted).
Since debuting this score live in 1989 with co-composer and keyboardist Walter Horn at the BAM Next Wave Festival, Gary has gone on to accompany the film with a solo guitar version in over 15 countries around the world, including performances at London's Royal Festival Hall, New York's Lincoln Center, the Venice Biennale — and in Prague, home of The Golem.
Based on the story of the actual historical Rabbi Jehudah Loew, the 16th century rabbi who legend has it fashioned a man out of clay to save the Jewish community of Prague from annihilation, "The Golem" (1920, d. Paul Wegener and Carl Boese) is a superb example of the early horror cinema at its finest, and went on to profoundly influence such films as James Whale's "Frankenstein" (1931).
