There might be a live double CD of Ashley/Story, Lunz, Cluster and ARSE (Dwight Ashley, Dieter Moebius, Roedelius and Tim Story) when they performed in Philly at the Gatherings Concert Series. either in 2005 or 2008 or both. And finally Nepenthe Music will reissue of the second Roedelius/Story release, Lunz.

This year there is an ambitious release schedule for this micro-label called Nepenthe Music.

First we have the remastered (by Robert Rich) Roedelius' classic, La Nordica, known also as Sinfonia Contempora No. 2: La Nordica (Salz des Nordens).

Next up, we will have the reissue of Nurton by Dieter Moebius. The Dwight Ashley & Tim Story 20th anniversary release of A Desperate Serenity and finally in the reissue category the reissue of the first Lunz (Roedelius & Tim Story) called, Lunz.

In 2011, we will have the as of now untitled, Moebius & Ashley release. In June, in conjunction with Klangbad the new Moebius solo release called Ding. at the end of the year we will have a new solo release form Dwight Ashley called Either / Or and finally the last of the Dwight Ashley archive releases with the working title of Batch (1979-1986).

Of course there are a few other things in the works that you can read about on Rubato (The Nepenthe Music Blog). Before I close, right now would be a good time to sign up for the Nepenthe Music newsletter, The Blotter (go back to the home page and look on the upper right side.)

Throughout 2011 we will be porting -over our back catalog with MP3's and FLAC files. Visits now, to see what is available.

Finally, it should be mentioned that Rubato (the Nepenthe Blog) is now Mobile Ready, and should be easy to read on most phones, whether basic mobile or smart mobile.

Nepenthe Music is pleased to announce, this month, the release of Tim Story's Collected. November 4th and 11th, 2010 will be two dates to mark on your calendar.

The new Tim Story release Collected will be available here, at nepenthemusic.com, for digital download on November 4, 2010. Then, on November 11, 2010 the Collected CD will be available direct from Nepenthe Music. Tim Story’s finest Windham Hill recordings, including a suite of music from his Grammy-nominated Legend of Sleepy Hollow soundtrack, and 3 previously-unreleased tracks. For the first time ever, Collected brings together two decades of pieces that Story recorded for a wide variety of Windham Hill samplers. Of the CD’s 19 tracks, 15 are from these popular samplers, and include some of Story’s best-known pieces, like Asleep the Snow Came Flying (from A Winter’s Solstice IV) and all five of Story’s originals from the acclaimed In Search of Angels soundtrack. Predominantly original compositions and several unique arrangements of classical pieces, many feature the contributions of oboist Kim Bryden and cellist Martha Reikow, long-time Story collaborators. Rarities include Homage (a never-released demo originally recorded for A Winter’s Solstice II), Viridian (a solo piano piece), and a 7-minute suite of instrumental music from his award-winning Sleepy Hollow children’s album with Glenn Close. These tracks, plus Interlude have never before appeared on CD. You may recognize Interlude in a more flushed out version that ended up as the first track of the Ashley/Story release Drop called A Ripening.

To review, this year (2010) at Nepenthe Music we have upgraded the site in many ways. We have added a YouTube channel. Integrated Twitter and Facebook at nepenthemusic.com. We have added a blog called Rubato. All releases now have been put in a release-specific player for easy sampling. Visitors can now order product direct. On November 4, 2010, digital downloads will be available for purchase, starting with Tim Story's Nepenthe Music catalog. Most particular of interest would be his new release Collected. See more details about Collected on November 1, 2010.
