New Archival Releases and Reissues

Two Daniel Crommie albums have been issued in January - a compilation of mostly previously unreleased material featured on "Rarities #2" and a straight reissue of Daniel's 1987 album "Raised By Piranha". "Rarities #2" will only be available at Bandcamp and includes music recorded between 1983-2018 with outtakes, alternate versions and remixes - all rare or never before heard. "Raised By Piranha" was released on Bandcamp several years ago but will now be available for download and streaming from the usual outlets such as Apple Music/iTunes, and includes participation by Jamie Haggerty, Tom Dougherty and Kristi Mergenthaler. An unusual album in that Daniel Crommie plays no flute whatsoever, only electric clarinet in addition to synthesizers, vocals and sequences. Here's a review of "Raised By Piranha".
