REYNOLS
“Fire Music Reloaded”
Fire Music was composed by Reynols in 2002 with fire recordings made at Tigre (Río Capitán) and different locations in Buenos Aires city and around. With some of this material, a CD EP appeared in Japan in 2002 through the Digital Narcis label, however the complete version of this piece remained unreleased for decades. In a recent research the masters of the whole work were found and rescued from the group's archives. So twenty years later, finally the full version of this piece is now ready to see the light on a brand new CD album carefully released by German label Aufabwegen. Fire Music Reloaded stands on the most conceptual side of Reynols' catalogue, along with works such as: 10.000 Chickens Symphony, Whistling Kettle Quartet, Computer Music, Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada or Blank Tapes. In its four parts journey, the group explores a wide range of frequencies coming from fire as the only sound source. A release which pays tribute to the igneous aurality. Let your ears get on fire!

REYNOLS
“Minecxio Emanations 1993-2018”
Pica Disk is extremely proud to present "Minecxio Emanations 1993-2018" - a box-set dedicated to the cult Argentinian band Reynols that features 52 audio tracks (mostly previously unreleased), 90 minutes of video and extensive liner notes and visuals.
Reynols started in 1993 in Buenos Aires and is famous amongst many things for its unique Down’s syndrome drummer/vocalist Miguel Tomasín, who is the band's spiritual architect. Reynols is also known its musical diversity, which spans everything from cosmic free rock and lo-fi drone electronic music, to conceptual sound art and social/political/esoteric observations. The world of Reynols is a universe completely of its own, and inhabits so much that even an extensive box like this only scratches the surface. Although Reynols have worked with an open-process DIY philosophy and been subject to multiple documentaries the band has still managed to sustain an element of mystery, so the release of "Minecxio Emanations 1993-2018" marks the first time the band has allowed an extensive overview of their work to be made. Fans of the band will also be happy to learn that most of the material is previously unreleased, including two albums from the early 2000s that were completed but never released; the earliest recordings from 1993; collaborations with artists Acid Mother's Temple and Pauline Olivers; conceptual pieces; and more. There's also a DVD with 90 minutes of videos. This box-set shows the full range of Reynols, and has been six years in the making and is the most extensive box-set project by Pica Disk.
Reynols is Miguel Tomasín, Roberto Conlazo and Anla Courtis

"Long may they confuse"
- John Olson (Wolf Eyes)
“I know Reynols indeed: they are among the most experimental and wild people I’ve heard”
- Thurston Moore
“Reynols is a super band to me. Someday, I wanna fly to Mars with Anla, Rob and Miguel all together. Let’s do asado there.”
- Mitsuru Tabata (Zeni Geva, Acid Mothers Temple, Boredoms)
“One of the most bizarre musical/social units to function. Ever”
- Muckraker Magazine
"The Reynols frontier is, in terms of sheer sonic, aesthetic, and conceptual creativity, an infinite expanse. It doesn’t break out of barriers so much as it evaporates them. It’s not that the rules don’t apply in Reynols music. It’s that nothing applies. The sound is itself, and everything else." - Marc Masters, from the liner notes of the box
