"Another Country 2 takes us deeper into the heartland of American 'alt.country' -- a place of otherworldly harmonies, stripped-down arrangements, plangent guitars, clanking banjos and a short-story anthology's-worth of intriguing narratives. Not one artist here emanates from Nashville, though the rest of the country is well represented. There are beautiful, harmony-laced porch hymnals from New York's elegantly melodious Cub Country and Georgia's disarmingly intimate Azure Ray. There's heart-swelling, arcane boogie from Brooklynites The Boggs and died-in-the-wool Southerners Iron & Wine. Elsewhere, Arizonan legends Giant Sand chip in with a slice of beauteous desert-flecked country rock, while North Carolina's superstar-elect Ryan Adams and Austin's bucolic troubadours Okkervil River tip their feed caps toward Dylanesque folk-rock. Another Country 2 showcases country music, then, but not so as you'd notice. These are songs that, irrespective of genre, you'll simply want to inhabit. Like a tumbledown cottage or a beloved pair of boots; they have a lived-in charm that's truly beguiling."

"Following on from Documenta 1.0 and Documenta 2.0 Peacefrog sub label Agenda presents the next two chapters in its ongoing Documenta series with two flawless collections of American made avant hip hop grooves. Compiling a selection of material sourced from various American independent hip hop labels, many of which are amongst some of the most underground and low key hip hop production outfits America knows today. Operating on the fringes of the genre, constantly defying the conventions and restraints of stylistic boundaries these labels and artists have redefined the way hip hop is perceived today and will be in the future. The two collection's document the next level of hip hop and a new wave in the defiance of a system. Genre's are crossed and redefined with lyrical experimentation, production is sparse, raw, minimal and often mechanical, pushing the concept and approach to hip hop production into entirely new territories. Included are cuts picked up from each of America's key experimental hip hop imprints inc Ozone, Defintive Jux, 75ark, Anticon, Mush, Celestial and Galapagos 4 alongside a variety of other small lowkey setup's." Artists on this first volume include: Mike Ladd, Them, Centric I.E & Offwhyte, Josh Martinez, Anti Pop Consortium, So Called Artists, Sonic Sum, Deep Puddle Dynamics, Cannibal Ox, John Smith feat. McEnroe, Aesop Rock, Telephone Jim Jesus.
