EMERALDS - S/T - CD CD version of of the self released/self-titled LP by Cleveland's Emeralds recorded Aug-Sept 2008.  Proper follow up to their debut LP 'Solar Bridge',  'EMERALDS' takes the thick drone sound of that LP into an even more abstract and strange place.  Visual music that lifts the listener up and transports them through tubes of sound occasionally to be swept into the opposite direction by an unexpected entrance into another world entirely.  An intense journey that drops you off in a place just beyond death. Field recording contributions from Aaron Dilloway. Mastered for CD by James Plotkin. Contains a 16 page full color booklet featuring photo artwork by the band themselves. 11x17 full color posters will be included in the first 30 mailorder copies.

AARON DILLOWAY - SECOND FOUL - CASS Second volume of live recordings. C-60 containing two live gigs...one from Holland, and one from the UK both from the 2009 tour. As with the original FOUL, this title won't be in print for long. mp3 samples: Den Haag (excerpt) -- London (excerpt)

TREPANERINGSRITUALEN - SEPTENTRIONAL - CASS Six tracks of of industrial rituals from this mysterious Swedish outfit. Thundering minimal rhythms and dark electronics surround heavily effected voices reciting things we really probably shouldn't be hearing. Seriously disturbing music that should be listened to with caution. mp3 samples: Den Blodtunga Jorden (excerpt) -- Maran (excerpt)

TWILIGHT MEMORIES - TWILIGHT MEMORIES - CASS Twilight Memories are a freeform unit from parts unknown. Hanson is proud to release this cassette after hearing their 6-something self released LP's of all over the map strangeness. The A-side is a heavy discharge of demon energy recorded outside under influence of the sun. Curious birds flutter through dark drones of horn? / voice? / didgeridoo?!?! The B-side is an ultra hiss smothered dive into a haze of darkness utilizing minimal electronics and reverberations of a tunnel. Two intense sides of humans releasing inhuman vibrations. mp3 samples: Side ONE (excerpt) -- Side TWO (excerpt)

SPINE SCAVENGER - PLAYS THE WRITINGS OF COMMANDER X - CASS C-60 of VERY minimal synth tests made after intense holiday readings of the books of COMMANDER X. The new studio has just been set up and the recordings on this tape were from a session I did to get reacquainted with my synthesizers. Unlike every other SS release, there is no tape delay FX used on these recordings..some LIGHT reverb on the B-side from an old 'echo-verb' unit I recently acquired, but other than that it's raw synth. The A side is a triple synth sample and hold exercise using Dotcom Modular, Yamaha CS-5, and Moog Rogue. The B-side is an ULTRA minimal pulse ambience piece for Moog Rogue and Lafayette Echo-Verb. This side was very influenced by a tape called CHAMBER MUSIC originally released in 1984 by STRENGTH THROUGH JOY. I got the tape quite a few years ago and remember being struck by how minimal it was. I wasn't too fond of it at the time, but I think about it quite a lot and I think it's influenced a lot of my output, especially my more recent recordings. I think of it as ambient music, not 'ambient' as in the genre, but as sounds to surround yourself with while doing something else. Throw this one on and read some COMMANDER X! mp3 samples: SIDE ONE (excerpt) -- SIDE TWO (excerpt)

AARON DILLOWAY - BOGGS VOL. 1 - CASS Early Dilloway recordings 1999 - 2001. Tracks originally appeared on 'NON GROWING BACK' CD (American Tapes, edition of 16, 2001), and BOGGS VOL. 1 CASS (Herbst, edition of 35, 2001). Very minimal electronics, tape and voice experiments. All electronic sounds made using a modified heart monitor made for me by NATE YOUNG.

MONSTURO - 7734 - CASS Minimal electronic wind storm made via intense modular synth patching. Dense textures of never ending waves of thunder similar to DAMION ROMERO's rumble work and MB's Armagheddon-era recordings. mp3 samples: MONSTURO side 1 excerpt -- MONSTURO side 2 excerpt

THE HAUNTING / FAILING LIGHTS - DEVALUING A MIND - CASS Reissue of one of my favorite very limited GODS OF TUNDRA cassettes. Insane recording by THE HAUNTING of very crude tape manipulation feedback and guitar...Makes me think of a bedroom scum version of FUSHITSUSHA's THE CAUTION APPEARS...total blast the volume on a sunny day dark guitar shit! The flip side is a continuation of the same session just after Tara left to go throw up... transforming the HAUNTING into FAILING LIGHTS. This side is more subdued haunted creaking rumble electronics, and barely controlled feedback. A total shit-fi Michigan classic. mp3 samples: THE HAUNTING excerpt -- FAILING LIGHTS excerpt

AARON DILLOWAY - DOOR WITH NO HANDLE - CASS 'A major oxide wobbble as the Michigan master of magnetic tape hiss finally delivers some dementia for the Monk. All the tangled up tape loop mess you know and love, with plenty of slow-motion sludge, aquatic gurgles and sleep inducing rust to get your mind drenched. Junked sounds of the 8 track come crawling out of the speakers alongside vocal chew. A spirited take on a demented dusk. File under Catatonic Dumpster Music, and keep it beside your private stash.'---CHOCOLATE MONK CDR version available on Chocolate Monk! mp3 samples: Door 4 -- Door 6

THE NEVARI BUTCHERS - SHATTER ALL ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES - CASS Recent recordings featuring the trio of Aaron Dilloway, Wyatt Howland (Skin Graft), and Mick Travis. A-side is a seriously damaged mess of crude tape manipulation of chainsaw electronics and junk noise. B-side is 2 tracks of rumble heavy lo-fi rhythmic noise and voice loops of the dead recorded live in a barn. mp3 samples: SHATTER Side 1 excerpt -- LIVE IN A BARN 1 excerpt

THE DAVID RUSSELL SNAKE - THREE SECRET MURDERS - CASS Heavily rhythmic voice, metal, percussion and brass loops resulting in physical and mental damage. I've always been interested in David's loop work as his way of using loops is almost exactly the opposite as mine. Whereas my loops are always very muddy and crude, David's are always very crisp and precise. mp3 samples: DAVID RUSSELL side 1 excerpt -- DAVID RUSSELL side 2 excerpt

ROBERT TURMAN & AARON DILLOWAY - BLIZZARD - CD Collaboration between AARON DILLOWAY (ex-WOLF EYES) and ROBERT TURMAN (ex-NON, Z.O. Voider). Recorded in January 2009 during a horrible Ohio snowstorm. Dilloway on synthesizer and tape delays and Turman on tapes and effects. Very minimal, very slow, very cold. Frozen and stuck in the snow. Jewel Case CD w/ white tray. Edition of 500 copies in jewel case w/ white tray. mp3 samples: BLIZZARD 1 excerpt -- BLIZZARD 2 excerpt

AARON DILLOWAY - HISS NAUSEA - CD CD reissue of a double cassette from 2006 originally released in an edition of 30 copies. Very minimal loops of distant feedback, hiss and scruff drenched in WAY TOO MUCH tape delay. Includes 15 minutes not included on the original set. This CD edition of 200 hand-numbered copies in digipak with artwork by Bonnie Banks. First in a series of low run CD's from Hanson. Only available DIRECTLY from HANSON. mp3 samples: HISS NAUSEA B1 excerpt -- HISS NAUSEA B2 excerpt

THE HATERS - IN THE SHADE OF FIRE - CD HANSON RECORDS is proud to present the first LP from THE HATERS, 'IN THE SHADE OF FIRE' reissued for the first time on the CD format AND for the first time in it's original ENTIRETY. Originally released on LP by SILENT RECORDS in 1986, this digipak CD edition has been remastered by Warn Defever from the original master reels, and includes the full COMPLETE ALBUM as two of the tracks had to be shortened to fit on the original LP issue. Available to order NOW! 'Back during my Bachelor of Fine Arts, one of my fellow students was a woman who was eventually obsessed with the idea, systems, and eventual remnants of ‘process’. One of her key pieces involved hundreds of raw eggs which she carefully emptied, cracked open, and systematically peeled the delicate membranes from inside of the eggs. She carefully laid out the hundreds of membranes as they assembled in a giant area to the side of the studio. I swear that she didn’t even have some grandiose idea for the membranes as the peeling and assemblage system(s) evolved into something that was simply beyond any eventuality and initial idea for the piling skins of the eviscerated eggs. The deconstruction and conception behind the act of pulling apart the eggs into a vast collection of grimy, translucent membrane piles suggested something so much more than even a final constructed piece. Watching her as she realized that the true crux behind the piece was the process alone was astounding as the membranes were laid to rest to represent an almost sudden and powerful eventuality that acted as a piled testament to ‘process’. The harsh sound works of THE HATERS over artist GX Jupitter-Larsen’s long and established career also powerfully bring to mind the idea of process. Most of THE HATERS’ works are ideologies behind something being destroyed or manipulated; the amplified and sometimes distorted sounds of the processes representing a document that exemplifies the acts carried out upon the objects, machines, or otherwise. The act of recording the processes alone is evidence of an eventuality (to possibly be edited further) in the form of a possible final piece of vinyl, cassette, or CD, but the tendencies of THE HATERS’ material also intend the listener to experience the process of the audio lines as they were primarily constructed in the recording area. There is no doubt that GX appreciates the totemic quality of his personal objects’ physical aftermath, that is sometimes documented with video or photographs, but the powerful beauty of a THE HATERS audio piece is the experience for the listener that acts ALSO as a final document of sound that represent clearly the certain idea and sometimes violent act. THE HATERS’ celebrated early work “In the Shade of Fire” acts a document collection for the listener that also reflects THE HATERS strong textural aesthetic through object manipulation and recording that defines GX’s place in the world of ‘harsh noise’. Listening your way through the material is a studied and defined testament to different representational fragments of heavy sound and source manipulation. The tracks Glsam and Diti are explosive introductory and side concluding / framing pieces that highlight and pronounce the breaking and crashing down of material, all gelled with bass driven strikes whose trails deteriorate into hints of cascading dirty and dark ‘Americanoise’ distortion. Bebas powers through a heavier dynamic with conscious falling apart of source material, but in abstracted waves that suggest the material being rebuilt just to simply fall and crash apart again with a sense of powerful futility. Thuch enhances the textural elements of the explosions and crashing as the sharpness of the strikes are slightly ‘rounded’ at the edges to expose an almost ‘gurgling’ texture that moves and slaps with vicious perplexity. Taisic represents a very early ‘Americanoise’ study of hiss manipulation that is accented with minimalist scraping that bring to mind the force of process on top of the white noise line. Cassas is the album’s meditated example of sharp shot-driven violence; articulated and seemingly layered for optimum cutting and breaking which bring forth sound dynamism from very physical deterioration. Fire 5 is an amazing example of a highly textural ‘wall’ of sound that, to the contemporary fan of gritty and dirty crunch waves, is a primary early example of powerful crackle lines that focus on the inner dynamism of the sound itself. All of the material discussed above is made up of elements of physicality and process, but the tracks Iny 1 and Iny 2 act, for the listener, as the ‘notes’ for the ideology of process and falling apart as they act as a more minimal, subtle, and exacting study of the scraping, scuffing, and hands on work of the artist as he manipulates the deteriorating materials. In essence, Iny 2 is an amazing concluding track that reminds the listener of the core focus and ideology behind THE HATERS’ exemplification of grating sound via concept driven manipulation of tangible sources, the process, the aftermath, and the eventual recording that reflects all of the above sound qualities.' ---- Sam McKinlay mp3 samples: GLSAM -- INY 1

AARON DILLOWAY - CHAIN SHOT - CD DIGIPAK CD reissue of my CHAIN SHOT LP which was originally released on LP by THRONE HEAP. Contains a 28 minute bonus track and copies ordered directly from HANSON come with a 11x17 full color poster. Below is a review of the original LP: 'With only tape loops, metal, and horns (and sometimes, it seems, metal on horns) the two side long pieces, 'Chain Shot' and 'Execution Dock' respectively, explore the ugly underbelly of noise before just scraping right through and aiming for the insides. In a genre that has quickly turned into a broad and often inaccurate description of a certain breed of every-man experimental music, Dilloway sticks to the old-fashioned definition of noise, doing battle with the materials in front of him as he continues the construction of his impressive body of work. Dilloway, a former member of noise-titans Wolf Eyes, has recently been releasing solo work that explores much more abstract and thoughtful terrain than his previous group's onslaughts. 'Chain Shot' is more a sound collage than anything, and while it is a heaping glob of muddled debris, it is also a highly controlled one. Looping samples on top of samples, Dilloway builds a slowly encroaching beast before slowly disintegrating it, bone by bone. This is some highly textural and immediately emotive soundscape work. 'Execution Dock' begins with a repeating loop of what sounds like the beginning and the end syllables of some nut's conversation with a lamppost. In the distance sounds a pained song of sorts, like a rodent's death cry, or maybe its birth one. I'm guessing maybe this is the horn, though it would be tough to be certain about much of anything here. Delayed creaks and groans float in and around as the vocal sample dissipates, leaving you sloshing through the mud puddle only to realize that its a tar pit the size of La Brea.---HENRY SMITH, http://earconditionednightmare.blogspot.com/' mp3 samples: CHAIN SHOT excerpt -- EXECUTION DOCK excerpt

EMERALDS - SOLAR BRIDGE - CD Starting out in 2005 performing live sets using only televisions as sound sources, EMERALDS has grown in recent years into a monster of HEAVY improvised drone using analog synths and masterfully effected guitar. Born out of the midwest scum-noise scene, these guys have taken the INTENSE HEAVINESS of their midwest brethren to a place that is entirely their own. They have replaced the creepy atmosphere and abrasive harsh noise of their peers w/ a VERY DIFFERENT though EQUALLY INTENSE assault of COSMIC DRONE POWER! HANSON RECORDS is proud to announce EMERALDS - SOLAR BRIDGE, the trio's first full-length album after numerous cassette and cd-r releases on such labels as American Tapes, Chondritic Sound, and the bands own imprints Wagon and Gneiss Things. The album opens with the side long 'MAGIC' where the band builds a quiet drone into an extreme thick sawblade of swirling noise as beautiful as it is menacing. The flip is yet another sidelong journey titled 'THE QUAKING MESS', a track that stabs your brain with fluttering sparks of synthesized needles before relaxing you into a Göttschingesque dream state while slowly bringing you back to earth with an electronic wave of molten rumble. Fans of the smooth tones of 'New Age Of Earth' era Ash Ra Tempel and the buzzing thick drones of Throbbing Gristle's 'Heathen Earth' should take note, as EMERALDS may be their new source for electronic drugs. mp3 samples: MAGIC excerpt -- THE QUAKING MESS excerpt

ROBERT TURMAN / AARON DILLOWAY - SPLIT - CASS Split release between myself and Robert Turman. Robert was an original member of NON back in the late 1970's appearing on the first 7-inch MODE OF INFECTION. He released a number of very limited solo cassettes throughout the 80's, including the monster 8-cassette box set CHAPTER ELEVEN (1976-1987). He and I have been working on remastering his old tapes over the last year, and Robert has also starting recording and performing again. His side of this cassette is just a taste of what is to become an onslaught of new recordings and unearthed classic industrial RT material to be released on HANSON. Twisted voices, waves of static hiss, disorienting and bizarre horn and string melodies, looped and delayed into a perfectly paced piece of surreal sound. My side is influenced by my recent collaboration recordings with Cleveland scumbag Wyatt Howland aka SKIN GRAFT. A confusing meld of organic and electronic sounds recorded using 8-track loops of synth, metal percussion, and radio static. ---Aaron Dilloway, December 2008 mp3 samples: ROBERT TURMAN excerpt -- AARON DILLOWAY excerpt

CHRISTOPHER RIGGS - DRACO - CASS An excellent cassette to make you feel sea sick from the guitarist of TRAUM. The A side sounds more like a thick metal cable fluttering in the wind than a guitar. Nauseating low end fluttering waves interrupted by occasional high end frantic scratches which sounds like amplified birds cleaning themselves on the wire. The B side is a barrage of high end squeals and squeaks, metallic whistles, flapping insects, stabbing needles, knife sharpening, baby animals crying, wild boar breathing, paper ripping, and more... all made with a guitar! A truly FUCKED UP recording! Originally self released in an edition of only 20 copies. mp3 samples: DRACO side 1 excerpt -- DRACO side 2 excerpt

SKIN GRAFT - DRUG ADDICT - CASS For the past few years, Wyatt Howland aka SKIN GRAFT has been gravedigging deep into the most dismal and filthy areas of sound.

A stream of filthy water runs near a sickened drug addict shivering in a sewer. Disgusting. Originally released in a limited edition by Wagon, this reissue includes extended mixes of both sides! mp3 samples: DRUG ADDICT side 1 excerpt -- DRUG ADDICT side 2 excerpt

MICK TRAVIS - THERE'S NOTHING TO SMILE ABOUT - CASS The Nevari Butchers nomadic member delivers 2 sides of humming, flickering, and pummelling minimalism. A side sounds like a copy machine for 15 min (it's not) ...B-side sounds like one of the MAD MEN fell asleep with his head on a synth and Christina Hendricks is walking around cleaning up the office...then the entire room gets sucked down the staircase very slowly step by step (it might even be that). mp3 samples: Nothing Side 1 (excerpt) -- Nothing Side 2 (excerpt)

RAVEN STRAIN - TRISAGION - CASS Ever heard of the NORTHVILLE TUNNELS?? It's these underground tunnels in Northville, MI that lead to an old abandoned Mental Hosptial. A teenaged RAVEN STRAIN aka MATT BILLINGS used to hang out in those tunnels... ALOT! This is totally the sound of creeping thru there high on paint, seeing only by the light of a shitty BIC mini lighter... runnin around the hospital and reading the forgotten files of the inmates that once lived there. I remember him telling me a story of snakin some old filing cabinet from there and draggin em home thru the tunnels. I think he recorded that and put it on this tape. Total abandonment, illness, and drugs.

NATH FAMILY - SOUNDS OF THE INDIAN SNAKE CHARMER - CD NOW ON CD !!!! 'For the first half of 2005, I lived with my wife Erika in Kirtipur, Nepal. During our days, while she was studying at the Kathmandu Association For The Deaf, I was roaming the streets and villages of the Kathmandu Valley in search of sounds and music. While kickin? round the tourist district of Thamel picking up cassettes, I met a family of Snake Charmers from Haryana, INDIA. An old man probably in his 70s or 80s, his 2 grandsons, and one of the grandson?s sons. They asked if I wanted to see a show....I said Hell YES!! They gave me a show...a KILLER show... we?re talkin 3 fuckin? king cobras dancing at once, while a giant boa chilled at the side and few other random lil? snake dudes are wigglin around here and there. I became obsessed. I had met my new best friends... Though the kind of best friends you have to pay to hang out with. They were hustlers, yes.. But that?s their job... The money was well worth the shows. I spent about 3-4 days a week for the next 2 months, recording their music and their snake shows on mini-disc and videotape. I Drank alot of chiyaa with them, smoked alot of cigarettes and bidis. They taught me how to make reeds out of bamboo, and I traded them some clothes for a snake charming horn. They call them Beens, they are also known as Pungis. These guys were the best. At the end of April they left Kathmandu, heading to Pokhara, after that it was time for them to head back home with their earnings. Man...I missed them. This LP is the BEST OF THE BEST of the recordings I made of them. There are some classic Bollywood tracks, a Nepali folk song, and side 2 is a 19 minute drone journey into the head of the KING COBRA. The recordings were done in stereo. A been on the left, a been on the right. A premtal (stringed percussion instrument) on the left, a premtal on the right. The stereo recording of the charmers sway creates a very disorienting stereo tremelo effect. It?s almost as if YOU are the SNAKE! These tracks were recorded in an alley. There is the occasional rumble of a car passing by, and the low murmer of the locals checkin out the white kid with the fancy gadget hangin? with the snake dudes.' -- AARON DILLOWAY, May 2005 mp3 samples: TRACK ONE SAMPLE

Check out the killer samples, but excuse the rough quality..I just used the Mutant Sounds rips since I don't have my record player hooked into my computer at the moment. The records sound much better than the mp3's here. From back cover notes: 'I do not want to play music which sounds as if it comes from familiar instruments, music which is based on chord patterns, or music which fits nicely within any particular stereotyped tradition... What I want is the terrifying, the menacing, the cruel, the chaotic, the darkly exciting, the ecstatic, the irrational -- music that resounds between the cells and in the intergalactic voids...' --Slava Ranko Nuff said there really... if you are into fucked up synth records you NEED to own this.

BOBBY BEAUSOLEIL - THE LUCIFER RISING SUITE - 4 LP BOXSET Now, for the first time, all of the music composed for the soundtrack project has been compiled into a single public release. The Lucifer Rising Suite begins with the 1967 version of the soundtrack and continues through a logical sequence of the recordings made in the years spanning 1976-79. With respect to the latter, the original master tapes were mined for music that had not been heard by anyone in nearly three decades. The newly unearthed recordings were then restored, cleaned up and combined with those previously released to make the anthology as complete as possible. The compositions that comprise the Suite are sequenced in an order that tells a story, after a fashion. It is a story that may be impossible to tell in a strictly literary manner, one that -- like a mirror's reflection into another -- is both personal and allegorical. A complete anthology of the recordings made for the Lucifer Rising motion picture soundtrack by Bobby Beausoleil with The Freedom Orchestra and The Magick Powerhouse Of Oz. This fully authorized and definitive release will include: - Remastered recordings spanning 11 years, from the '67 recording to the Tracy Prison recordings of '78. - 4 full-length LPs worth of Lucifer Rising material with half being never-before-heard sessions personally selected by Bobby BeauSoleil. - 9 new pieces of art from Bobby: 8 record sleeve panels and one 2' x 3' poster. - 2 posters: one by Bobby BeauSoleil and one by Dennis Dread. - A much-extended version of the 'Fallen Angel Blues' piece by Bobby that originally appeared in the Kenneth Anger DVD set. - 'Hymns to the Solar Temple' -- impressions on a visit to Bobby at the Oregon Correctional Facility in Pendleton, Oregon by Dennis Dread. - The Saga of a Soundtrack by Michael Moynihan. - Art from Dennis Dread for the back of the LP box, also to be included as a 2' x 2' poster. - Art from Dennis Dread for the front lid of the box which will provide a window into the works of Bobby's to be found within. Remastered by Robert Ferbrache, well known for his work with Blood Axis, 16 Horsepower and others. All art has been created specifically for this release.

CHARLEMAGNE PALESTINE - VOICE STUDIES - LP 'The VocSon series presents on limited edition LPs the most advanced international vocal experiments and is mainly dedicated to the documentation of sound poetry. This series includes now the new LP record by Charlemagne Palestine titled Voice Studies. Charlemagne Palestine's introduction to music or sound was first with his own voice. He began at four years old to sing versions of popular songs and operas in his own way. Later on, a director of a Jewish sacred music choir auditioned him to sing with them, Charlemagne was seven years old at the time and for the next seven years, he sang all over the East Coast and the U.S. as a member of a choir that sang with many of the greatest European Chazans (Jewish Sacred Singers) who had fled Europe during the rise of anti-Semitism and resettled in America. From them he learned to sing in a long chanting style with his own natural voice. At the same time he met Pran Nath, the master of Kirana singing and studied a short time with him as well as Javanese singing with Ki Wasito di Puro at Cal Arts. Over the years, Charlemagne Palestine has performed and recorded vocal works as an important part of his output as a sonic artist. This LP includes the very early 'Surrealistic Studies,' recorded in Brooklyn in the beginning of the 1960s. Using a Webcor reel-to-reel tape recorder and discovering a technique of shouting into the microphone and immediately pulling it out, creating an interior echo chamber where the sound would turn around on itself, changing and distorting. No other electronic sound manipulation techniques were used. 'Voice + Piano Study I & II' are short and beautiful piano improvisation with tape superimposition of accelerated voice pieces. Recorded at Cal Arts on September 29th, 1971. 'Voice Study' was recorded in Manhattan in the mid-1960s. In this study Charlemagne sings in a falsetto duet with himself on two separate tracks. Sung in a resonant space reminiscent of a synagogue in the falsetto voice that he began to develop from Jewish male sacred chant falsettos. He searches for intervals that resonate together and respond like electronic sound wave oscillators played against each other. Finally, there is the fantastic 6-minute 'Beauty Chord + Voice' with Charlemagne playing piano and singing. Edition limited to 385 copies.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
CHARLEMAGNE PALESTINE - SOUND 1 - one-sided LP 'As the title well underlines, 'Sound 1' electronic sonority is a starting point in Charlemagne Palestine researches for the Golden Sonority. Previously unpublished, this radical and foundamental work has now been released on LP record in collaboration with the New Media Dept of Centre Pompidou (National Museum of Modern Art) in Paris for the first 'Œuvres sonores' event, December 15th, 2008. Charlemagne Palesitne started to dream of an expressive continuous evermoving everchanging sound form; an enormous sonorous 3-dimensional sculptural canvas in mid-air, using electronically produced sounds. At first he began experiments with simple sine tone generators emitting the purest sound waves without any overtones. Then, gradually, with access to moog and arps, he constructed sounds using the sine / sawtooth / square wave oscillators in a fluid everchanging mix of adding or filtering overtones and white noise to create sonorities constantly changing timbres and weight. Palestine experimented in this way from 1964 till 74 in NYC and then, in California, finally he assembled his own drone machine of 16 ultra stable oscillators designed by Serge Tcherepnin and 4 band pass filters designed by Donald Buchla. He would build up a sound, oscillator by oscillator, then add ever so slightly to the oscillator imput, tiny increments of white noise that would gradually make the sounds thicker and thicker untill they were immense sacred machines humming like gargantuan tibetan bees. Charlemagne played them very very loud, making all the room and objects in it resonate while outside all was quiet and sleeping. He worked like a painter with a palette and a canvas and he mixed and added and mixed and added over, entire nights, mixing adding and then lying on the mattress and listening and fine tuning. Finally, at a certain point, after several nights, the sonority seemed ready to record. He'd put on the tape, prepare the tape machine with the proper level as not to overload it and record the texture. This 1-sided LP was issued in an edition limited to 500 copies, and about 350 of those copies were offered to the audience partecipating to the first 'Œuvres sonores' event at Centre Pompidou. Less than 200 copies are available for distribution.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
CHARLOTTE MOORMAN - CELLO ANTHOLOGY - 4 CD BOXSET w/ BOOK INTENSE INTENSE INTENSE INTENSE INTENSE INTENSE HEAVY DUTY SOUND, HEAVY DUTY BOOK, HEAVY DUTY INSERTS!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! - AD 'Indeed, for the first time, the work of Charlotte Moorman can be appreciated by means of a significant selection of vintage recordings. The first two CDs highlight a pair of exceptional documents -- a performance recorded by radio station WBAI in New York on 12 September 1964, and a concert from 25 July 1966 in the Theatersaal in Aachen, Germany. These events superbly represent the type of repertoire that Moorman and Paik cultivated and proposed in the U.S. and Europe, in the years following their meeting, in their memorable 'duo' exhibitions. The programs of the two concerts present several homogeneous choices and others more clearly divergent. The Aachen event, in fact, is testimony to the progressive and always more pronounced emergence of meta-musical elements deliberately turned toward the demystification of 'ritualistic' meanings of a concert, even while consciously accepting it as an exhibition frame. It is for this reason that the Aachen recording can document, with respect to the comprehensive programme, only those works in which the sound matrix constitutes the prominent factor. This is particularly evident, beyond several tried and true war-horses of their exhibitions which recur or are distributed equally in both concerts ('26'1.1499' for a String Player' by John Cage, 'Duet II' by Toshi Ichiyanagi and two works by Giuseppe Chiari: 'Per Arco' and 'Ave Maria di Schubert,' both of which were written for the cellist and dedicated to her), in the premiere of Earle Brown's 'Synergy,' a rare and delightful duet with Terry Jennings on saxophone, an almost systematic version of 'Plus Minus' by Karlheinz Stockhausen aided by Paik's Robot in the WBAI concert, as well as, in the Aachen concert 'Sonata No. 1 for Adults Only' and especially the first performance of 'Opera Sextronique,' both by Paik, in addition to other pieces by Earle Brown and Sylvano Bussotti. The second disc includes another unspecified rendering of Ichiyanagi's 'Duet II' and an abbreviated version of 'Cage's 2'1.1499' for a String Player.' Of the famous 'TV Cello' -- conceived by Paik for Moorman as a 'living sculpture' -- the third CD offers an in situ recording realized on one of the three days inaugurating the Paik retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, on 11, 12 and 14 September 1982. This version contains respectively the 'TV Cello Duets' with Paul Garrin and the 'Concerto for TV Cello and Videotapes,' largely improvised, 'including a tape collage by Ornette Coleman prepared for Charlotte, also talking with audience.' The fourth CD restores three other documents, collateral but definitely not secondary. One happy example is a choral work performed on 3 September 1964, during the second New York Avant Garde Festival, a performance of Jackson Mac Low's composition 'The Long Hot Summer,' sees in an exceptional reunion the names of Charlotte Moorman, Nam June Paik, Benjamin Patterson, Philip Corner, and Malcolm Goldstein, as well as Mac Low himself. On the relevance of this performance, distinguished by a marked ethico-political intonation and valence, Philip Corner dwells extensively in an unpublished text printed here as an attachment to the sonic documentation. The voice of Charlotte Moorman, characterized by her unmistakable vital charge, is brought back to us through a long and meaningful interview conducted by Harvey Matusow in October of 1969 in the BBC New York Studios. The soundtrack of the video 'Waiting for Commercials,' realized by Paik in 1972 in collaboration with Russel Connor, whose sound collage integrates musical insertions by Charlotte Moorman and David Behrman, completes the anthology put together and offered here. Luxury edition including a 154-page book with original documents, full color photos and scores; a set of 16 full color inserts reproducing the original posters and programs of the Annual Avant Garde Festival of New York; 4 compact discs. First boxset edition limited to 500 copies.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
FRANCOIS DUFRENE - FRANCOIS DUFRENE - BOOK & CD 'François Dufrêne (1930-1982) is one of the leading artists from the post-war European and French art scene. He played a key role in many of the initiatives of Lettrism, Nouveau Réalisme and sound poetry. In François Dufrêne's oeuvre, art and poetry intersect in a reciprocal experimentation of the possibilities of transgression of their specific grammars. His oeuvre constitutes a singular example of this special relationship between art and language, which throughout the 20th century proved to be one of the most fertile grounds for expanding the limits seemingly imposed on Western art via the history of artistic genres. Many of his artistic creations use objects retrieved from the urban context, such as posters or stencils, or use the voice in non-linguistic contexts. Examples of the latter include his creation of the crirhythm, wherein he reinvented sound poetry and the relationship between performance and text. The present catalog attempts to present François Dufrêne's work as a totality, wherein it would be artificial to separate his status as a poet from that as a visual artist. Poems, books, records, recordings, reverse sides of posters, stencils, films and photographs documenting the artist's actions are combined together in a mosaic that makes it possible to reinterpret François Dufrêne's work as one of the most singular adventures of his epoch, and also re-evaluate the relevance of the challenges he posed to contemporary culture. The CD offered in the catalogue includes the fantastic crirhythm from 1970 titled 'Belle nuisances hantez nos nuits,' the complete 'Osmose-Art' from 1969 where crirhythms are superimposed to classical music, 'Eryximaque' and two 'Lecture-collage' from 1965 as well as the 1958-70 'Comptinuum.' All the sound works presented on the CD are also included in the 4LP boxset anthology issued by Alga Marghen and titled Oeuvre Desintegrale. Full colour catalogue in A4 size, 250 pages, all texts translated in English, French and Portuguese. The book includes a large selection of experimental visual works dating from 1957 to 1981 as well as the biography, essays and original texts (among them 'Pragmatics of Crirhythm' and 'The Crirhythm and the Rest' both from the mid-1960s). Full discography and filmography are also included. First edition of this large catalog, the first ever to fully document the work of François Dufrêne.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

There was a Theater there; and a place for the first Happenings. An Art Gallery... and later the famous Judson Dance Theater. There was Philip Corner first performance. The concert was in early 1962, January 2nd, to be exact. Handwritten change on typescript: Yoko Ono's studio, changed at the last moment to Judson Church. A lot of players; and a lot of pieces.

PHILIP CORNER - GONG + - CD 'Gong + presents three previously unpublished compositions by Philip Corner recorded in New York City, 1974. 'Metal Meditations with Listening Center', a 29 minutes long piece, is a collaboration between Philip Corner and Bill Fontana. At that time Bill Fontana was very interested in the resonance properties of every object, putting his ear to everything, and sometime recording what he called 'Listening Centers' (soon to be issued by alga marghen). A microphone placed in a resonating space (for example a jar, or a pipe) recording the environment with no intervention from the artist. This time the 'Listening Center' was integrated as an active element on two pages from 'Metal Meditations' ('one stroke: vigorous: one resonance' and 'these are twirlings, sworlings') performed at the Intermedia Foundation. The continuous resonance of metal objects mixed with the chaotic sounds of New York City distorted through the 'Listening Center'. 'Gong!' is a series of works and can be considered forms of kinds of 'Metal Meditations'. They are more-elaborated performing plans for/on this 'prototype of all rich resonances', so, are musics assuming long-resounding & more-than-single-pitched large-surfaced (likely) lower-tone-favoring metals. Some substitutions are possible: piano? low clusters and selected sonorities. Colors controlled from pedal. Struck by soft stick(s)--- or from keyboard. This specific version, titled '2 as entrance ? passageway (resounding regularly)', was recorded on May 22nd, 1974 at The Kitchen and performed by Philip Corner, Brian Dallow, Daniel Goode and Carole Weber. The piece starts with deep resonances of the gong played by two performers and very slowly fades into the pulsation of the low-key strings of the piano. The last composition on this compact disc, taken from a different series of works titled 'Pulse Polyphony', was also recorded at The Kitchen during the same festival. 'Pulse Polyphony' compositions may use very different materials; one of them (the central part of 'Oracle', an electronic music piece) was included in On tape from the Judson years, a previous compact disc issued by alga marghen. The version presented here is the passage from string piano to bell-tree.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
ROBERT ASHLEY / WALTER MARCHETTI - OCT 25TH, 2001 MERKIN CONCERT HALL, NYC - Double LP 'in 2001 thomas buckner organized a series of concerts at the merkin hall in new york city asking contemporary classic composers to perform together with another artist of their choice. when robert ashley – already one of the most anticipated guests – decided to invite his old friend walter marchetti to perform together, the peak event of the series was set. it was the first concert of italian composer marchetti in the states for more than 30 years. the night of october 25th, 2001, the audience at the merkin hall had the privilege of being presented one of the most dense, intimate and breathtaking events in contemporary music history. the 2lp set, limited to an edition of 300 copies and published by choose, is produced by emanuele carcano (alga marghen) and jörg hiller (choose). side a and b include the live rendering (realization?) of two walter marchetti sound works previously issued on cd by alga marghen. a 25 min excerpt of 'nei mari del sud. musica in secca' and one painful variation from 'de musicorum infelicitate'. the performance of those tape pieces was conceived as an action theatre event. side c includes the recording of robert ashley's 'yes, but is it edible?', a composition for piano and voice dedicated to thomas buckner who performs it with the composer. this 27:30 min long piece is a true masterpiece, with robert ashley introducing us to creation and coincidence, space and time, private parts and characters, with direct references to the once group and his friends david behrman, alvin lucier, gordon mumma, pauline oliveros, terry riley, 'blue' gene tyranny, george manupelli, as well as maria calas and patsy cline, elvis and lennon, monteverdi, pop music, irish and jewish new-comer's broadway musica parody of america, lloyd-weber, 'saturday night life', chinese opera, mariachi bands, country music and much more. side d includes 'practical anarchism', a touching homage that robert ashley dedicated to walter marchetti. previously published as a text by alga marghen in the booklet of 'antibarbarus' cd, this is actually the first time ever that this piece for solo voice, performed by the same robert ashley, is made available on record. here robert ashley mainly refers to walter marchetti's trip in the states, touring with zaj in the early 1970s at the invitation of john cage who considered zaj 'the only composers of genius and dignity'. as robert ashley says '...genius and dignity radiate for thousands of miles. i know of walter marchetti because of the radiation of the genius and dignity. weeks later he and juan hidalgo and esther ferrer appear at the bus station in oakland california. genius and dignity light up the humble landscape of the bus station in oakland california. i have never felt such presence. they give two concerts. the american audiences are baffled and arrogant. hostile to brilliance. an hour of almost silence. the most modest and sweet sounds in my experience. then walter's piece a roar. the audiences are baffled. maybe the most important concerts of my life. a kind of dignity long lost. perhaps truly extinct...'. also on side d is 'musica per un bicchiere non molto grande', an early zaj piece by walter marchetti, performed here by robert ashley.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION *** co-released with CHOOSE***

ARNULF MEIFERT - UNREIN BIS ZUM ABEND / REISE INS DIESSEITS - LP 'A record of extreme poetry and sound. Arnulf Meifert was the first drummer in the legendary German group Faust (he is only present on Faust, the first LP issued by Polydor). Later, and for many years, he was a companion of Vienna actionist Guenter Brus, whose 50th birthday was celebrated with the publication of the Panishes Liederbuch LP (the now mythical first LP issued by Die Taubnessel back in 1988). For the recordings of this new project, Meifert met Kommissar Hjuler and his wife Mama Baer, also experimental musicians, but nearly two generations younger. They have been working together for just a few hours, so everything had to be totally improvised. Nevertheless, Meifert brought some texts with him, fascinated by confrontations of word and music. These texts range from the Old Testament to Renaissance artistry and Christian hate-speech from the 20th century, ending with a modern guide for the voyage from death to rebirth. The impressive and singular cover artwork was done by Klaus Holzmann, an upcoming Austrian artist. Two letters showing the discussion between Meifert and Hjuler after the meeting are also included. Edition limited to 280 copies.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

What resulted is a kind of death-metal-pastiche or parody, spontaneously realized with nearly no instruments at all. Quite noisy and primitive screams with percussive cymbal ostinato! Black cover with no info at all, except Slashdeath in printed lettering. Edition limited to 115 copies.---LABEL DESCRIPTION '

DENDOSHI - DENDOSHI 2 - LP 'Dendoshi is Keith Connolly (No Neck Blues Band), Raymond Dijkstra (Asra), Dave Nuss (No Neck Blues Band) and Timo Van Luyk (Af Ursin, In Camera). Dendoshi: 'he who comes to propagate the ceremony' or 'missionary' (japanese). There had actually been a previous incarnation of Dendoshi (hence Dendoshi 2), which was a large group performance in New York which concentrated on elucidating the memories of a dead tree which had been re-contextualized as a sculptural exhibit. Some thematic reference: The name 'Dendoshi' originates from the work of japanese filmmaker Kyoshi Kurosowa, whose films also inspired the content of the first performance.  When the opportunity presented itself for Connolly, Dijkstra, Nuss and Van Luyk to come together to make a session, it was the perfect opportunity to realize Dendoshi not as a one-off performance on a theme, but as a recurring ritual in development.  The resulting music widened the conceptual reflection of the band, bringing to mind the history and ideas of Franz Mesmer.  Mesmer, the eighteenth century Austrian spiritualist healer, was among the first to put forth the theory of what he termed 'animal magnetism', regarding a universal fluid which permeates all matter and can be influenced by the will, not dissimilar to some of Eliphas Levi's concepts. What seemed to set Mesmer apart was an attention to mood and atmosphere, an aesthetic component to what were scientifically quite dubious theories, which lent to his work an aura of portent - thus the parallel with the music captured as Dendoshi 2.  Reflecting the qualities that all four musical sensibilities had in common, the album is a statement upon the ephemeral nature of atmosphere and will, and the relation of reverie to oblivion as opposed to ecstacy.  The symbol, or mark on the front cover created by Connolly came intuitively and without revision. It's applied function is that of distinction rather than that of protection or as a seal. It was first applied to the photograph by Clarence H. White form 1904, where the first resonant depiction, or personification, of reverie and oblivion as applied to Dendoshi was found. By applying the mark Connolly is ceremonializing the image, thus rendering it distinct from its original form, not as an appropriation, but as a recognition. The other images followed, and each of them was recognized instantly without having to search. The last was Vermeer's image from Van Luyk's basement, and upon recieving this the series of 4 inserts was complete. There is a trace of fear and a sensation of suspended time in these images which suits the music very well. Edition limited to 300 copies on gold cover.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

SEXUAL ASSAULT RIFLE - S/T - ONE-SIDED LP Good luck reading this!: 'Rolling early to a gig can be problematic or amazing or a weirdo combo of both. The boyz rolled WAAAY to early to gig in Richmond VA only to get chased outta a strange bar (and sure enuff: same thing happened at the gig later at a piece of shit bar we jammed), but sometimes, rolling early into a city can be mindwrecking: In Philly, some years ago, we rolled in hyper early and found (and waited in the van until it opened) a killer mega-bowl complex and posted up for HOURS. Brew flowing, pins knockin, no one there but the crew. RULED. After a way too long stretch of horrible double digit bowling, I wandered outside and called my main homebox PUCK to see if there was anything to peep before we roll onward to the R N R business hours. Puck thought for a second and said: 'Ya'll already busted that cheesesteak local spot...so...if you feel up to something REALLY intense...naw...forget about it...' 'Naw man, f-that- what is it?' 'Well, I had a super heavy sess there, if you feel up to the internal challenge: its right by the bowling alley- hit up JONATHAN & SUZIE's PSYCHIC SHACK' Blown away by the prospects, I hung up, put out my cigarette on the bottom of my Red Wings, straightened up my coat and walked two blocks to the spot. After finding it easily enuff, I rolled into the lobby and was first shocked by the decor on the walls: intense blood-sex-soaked paintings of zombies and horrible gore all done with the perfection of a pro graphic artist. Whoa! What did PUCK roll me to? Is he getting me black for the time I spilled pink clothes dye on his fav jersey? This place is too strange. I rang the bell, signed in on the sheet, and waited in silence in an empty lobby staring at a painting of a zombie chewing an ear of a bikinied lady. Tired from the brew session at the bowling alley and arm aching from trying to get the ball speed cam up to 87 mph on the lanes, I dosed off. Feeling a slight nudge on my elbow I perked up and met JONATHAN, a huge welcoming dude with long blond hair and a SWANS 'MONEY' tour long sleeve shirt and followed him into the reading room. I was ah...psyched!! I came into the small black room, shook hands with SUZIE, who was decked out a TG shirt, also long sleeve and was ready for the reading... The magical couple stared at me for what seemed like 15 minutes and then nodded to each other and said, almost in unison: 'I see you are from Michigan, and therefore are probably uncomfortable with a very personal reading.' 'Ah, right on.' I said, thinking to myself that Puck had found a player a PERFECT spot. After another stretch of awkward but easy silence Suzie said: 'Well, you have a gig tonight, how about a glimpse into the future, not you, but what the world be like in say 10,000 years?' 'Man, whoa, hit me up!!!!' 'First, put both yr finger tips into this small pot and close yr eyes. There will be no words spoken but you feel the future, good or bad...' Feeling the energy for a new situation and also the coming excitement of telling Puck/the boys about my PSYCHIC SHACK experience, I rolled up my sleeve, and put my fingers into the warm oily magic liquid and sneaked off... What happened next or rather what I experienced just can be put into INZANE words. The future was: INTENSE.... fully of evil machines grinding onward on terror business, clangs disappearing into space, huge planets full of strange sounds delay into the deep atmosphere. It was strange, horrible, and super ace all at the same time. Man was I stoked. So I walked out with Suzie and Jonathan, mind blown/shown by the future, ready for the present and ready to thank the crub outta my main man PUCK for the psychic tip. As I was walking out the door, Suzie says, 'Wait I forgot something... Here is a box of 100 records that was the soundtrack to that evil future.... we had em pressed while you were out cold, live at that studio that did the CRUDE PA comps....' 'OMG- no way...the sounds...were...too much.... and on wax????' Jonathan says, firmly: 'Yeah man, and jamm it at any speed, I know yr crew digs that...slower the better...cant be slow enuff.....' And then stared at the floor....... 'Well, we know NONE of yr crew will believe you so here is some proof to show em....' So here it is. TRUE STORY, yo. THE FUTURE...10,000 yrs from now....

LASSE MARHAUG - QUALITY CONTROL - CD 'A giant of Scandinavian experimental music, Lasse Marhaug has been active in sound creation since his teenage years. His interests have spanned a wide range of styles: from improv jams to film sound, from humorous collages to crushing harsh noise works. This non-stop activity has resulted in a massive body of recorded work and numerous live performances all over Tellus. Besides his solo work he has collaborated with a multitude of fellow sound artists on stage and in the studio. In the everflowing stream of music from Marhaug, Quality Control leans towards the noisiest end of his output. With an active, hands-on approach to sound making, it rushes forward to present us with a panoramic view of a mock world inhabited by trash electronics battling it out on a barren desert field at the end of the known universe. From short outbursts to extended epics, Marhaug cooks up an explosive brew of storming feedback and out-rock guitar overload. Quality Control portrays a mature artist at the top of his game.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
TOSHIJI MIKAWA - GYO-KAI ELEGY - CD 'Pioneer, innovator and visionary are words easily associated with Toshiji Mikawa. One of the prime movers of Japanese noise, he started his musical activities in the late 1970s and joined the legendary and notorious Hijokaidan. In 1981 he formed Incapacitants to pursue his interest in pure noise, in contrast to the more performance art oriented Hijokaidan of that time. Initially a solo project, later he was joined by Fumio Kosakai to make Incapacitants a duo that has been widely acknowledged for their extreme sound and intense live performances. Gyo-Kai Elegy is the debut CD release under Mikawa's own name. It grants us a close-up view of his sound which is normally immersed inside Incapacitants' mighty sound structures. We get highly detailed, unforgiving electric annihilation, invoking images of imaginary lifeforms trapped inside cages of silicon crystals. Occasionally the sound expands into juggernaut drones or floats away into a cavernous space that seems to be inhabited by morbid bats screaming at piercing sub-ultrasonic frequencies. Once again, Mikawa-san shows us all how to create noise with intensity, perspective and character without a hint of compromise. '---LABEL DESCRIPTION

TONETTA - 777 - LP + CD YES! TONETTA on LP!!! If you have not yet heard / seen TONETTA, go to Youtube, type in his name and witness for yourself while your jaw lays on the floor and you constantly look over your shoulder. Comes with a CD version that is exact as the LP. Silkscreened covers. Numbered edition of only 500 copies. The below review from Weird Canada is pretty dead on: Long overdue debut LP from Toronto-based sexual hyperbole that collects material recorded between 1983 and 2009. Tonettas recipe for success consists of wasted erotic lo-fi dripping in wet bass, fruity drum loops, and occasional 80s guitar sleeze: backdrops for his variety show of graphic sexual acts, perverts, prostitutes, drug use, hedonism and occasional political rhetoric. Once a song is recorded, Tonetta dons a costume (g-string, Kabuki mask, demon makeup, etc), takes off most of his clothes, and dances. After the initial sexual overload, a gripping desire to break through the facade takes over. The songs are compelling enough to dive right in and the LP, removed from the visceral overload, allows a new entry-point into Tonettas garish existence. As a compilation of material spanning 25 years, the album is one highlight after another, from the soaring 80s cheese of Drugs Drugs Drugs and I Want to Marry a Prostitute (which could be a viagrafied Jimmy Buffett song), to the Bowie-esque album standout Im Still a Slave. In the tradition of musical oddities like Jandek, J.T. IV, or more recently Blank Dogs, Tonetta is a mystery best left unsolved. Weird Canada grants this our highest recommendation. --- www.WEIRDCANADA.com mp3 samples: STILL A SLAVE

CLIMAX DENIAL - YOU'RE NEVER SAFE - CDR 'A year has passed since the release of the first-ever piece of Climax Denial vinyl on BloodLust! [B!079 'Ritual Smothering' b/w 'Mean Dominant' 7-inch], and now I am pleased to present this artist's most adroitly composed full-length recording, to date; Comprised of nine pieces --- including a befitting cover version of the delightfully indelicate Deathpile song, 'Breaking A Doll' --- 'You're Never Safe' is an excellent showcase of the unique blend of power-electronics, death-industrial, and noise --- but let's just call it music from now on --- that Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Climax Denial, AKA Alex Kmet, is increasingly well-known for; This CD was skillfully mastered by Thomas Garrison (Control, Exsanguinate) at Misanthrope Studios in Santa Cruz, California; Professionally duplicated CD, single panel, double-sided insert; color artwork; in jewel box with shrinkwrap; Released in 2008'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
CULVER - SUGAR TIP - CDR Last winter, when BLOODYMINDED was preparing to go on tour in the U.K., I was put in contact with Lee Stokoe, who was touring at the same time as us, under the name Inseminoid, with George Proctor of Mutant Ape. Not only was Lee beyond accommodating about letting us piggyback on the Inseminoid/Fecalove tour, but he was kind enough to also drive us around the U.K. for several days. I returned to the States with a thick stack of Culver CDs, which took some time to get through. I was most pleased that I enjoyed the music on the CDs as much as I enjoyed meeting and spending time with Lee, himself. After hearing more and more Culver recordings, as well as a few excellent psychedelic/noise CDs by Stokoe's band Marzuraan, I was convinced that I needed to release something by him. "Sugar Tip" is that thing, packaged in handsome collage artwork created by Stokoe for this release. One of the main things that I have noticed about this CD is that it feels like the air gets sucked out of the room when I listen to it. While it is far denser and more complex a sound than Damion Romero's work, the two share the odd ability to move air around with sound in a fairly unsettling way. "Sugar Tip" is definitely heavier than drone, but it is definitely not simple harsh noise. I might refer to it as blackened psychedelic noise. Oh, and do not forget that this guy plays in Skullflower, these days, too.

ENVENOMIST - HIDDEN - CDR 'CD edition of out-of-print cassette, originally released in a quickly-gone, numbered edition of 50 copies, in late- 2006; Re-mastered for maximum digital impact in 2008 by Greh Holger [Hive Mind, Cleanse, Chondritic Sound label, etc.]; Here is the original release statement: As a follow up to the great 'Feral Towers' 7-inch [B!054], we are pleased to be releasing newly recorded material from Columbus, Ohio's David Reed, also of Luasa Raelon. 'Hidden' succeeds the recent, excellent Envenomist CD, 'Abyssal Siege' [PACrec] and for this seven song cassette, Reed continues to create somewhat shorter compositions that flow perfectly from one to the next. Dark, echoing, analog synthesizer music, perfect for winter's approaching icy embrace. Professionally duplicated CD, single panel, double-sided insert; black and white artwork; in jewel box with shrinkwrap; Released in 2008.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
FECALOVE - LIKE A DOG - CDR 'Following in the tradition of the many great Italian artists who have worked with BloodLust!, including Mauthausen Orchestra, The Soldality, Iugula-Thor, Sshe Retina Stimulants, Sigillum S, Atrax Morgue, Murder Corporation, and Dead Body Love, I am pleased to release this new CD by Fecalove. BLOODYMINDED played five shows with this deviant, during our 2007 U.K. tour, and each night, I was struck by the unique performance style that I witnessed, as well as by the great blend of power-electronics and harsh noise that I heard. This CD offers a view of both the crystal-clear yet filthy sound generated by Fecalove, and the tasty and quite obscene artwork created by Nicola Vinciguerra. You really ought to be 18 years old to purchase this thing, okay? Professionally duplicated CD, single panel, double-sided insert; EXPLICIT color artwork; in jewel box with shrinkwrap; Released in 2008'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

MARK SOLOTROFF & SSHE RETINA STIMULANTS - EXCELLENT MANIPULATION OF DISTORTED TAPE DEATH: PART TWO - SUPER DENSITY ASSEMBLAGE - CD 'Excellent Manipulation of Distorted Tape Death,' which was released on BloodLust! as a four cassette, six-hour box set [4 x C-90], limited to 50 numbered copies, housed in a large vinyl box. The project utilized progressive analog tape generations and sound fidelity decay as both a direction for the concept that we worked under and for the sounds that we manipulated and ended up with. In 2006, NG5361 revisited those recordings, in a more digital manner, and he came up with two new masters: 'The Edit' - a disc of eight tracks, each drawn from one of the original cassette sides -- and 'Super Density Assemblage' - two self-explanatory, 28-minute-long tracks, built from multiple sections of the box set.

NEIL JENDON - INVISIBILITY - CDR 'Neil Jendon is a fixture in the Chicago music scene, who has shifted between roles as a psychedelically-driven guitarist in the indie/alternative band Catherine [TVT Records], a more experimentally-minded guitarist in the avant-garde group Zelienople, and as half of the group Abduction [with Michael Miley], through which I first witnessed Neil's vivid modular synthesizer playing. I originally came to know Neil in the early 1990's, and if I recall correctly, we bonded over the U.K. band, Loop. But maybe that was his band mate, Jerome? In any case, after losing touch with each other for a long measure of time, I have seen and heard much more of Neil's work in the last two years - and more recently - after seeing him destroy a small local venue with a live solo modular synth set - I knew that it was time to talk to him about a release for BloodLust! Neil's skill as an improviser may come into play on 'Invisibility,' but at the core of these recordings there is what seems to be a familiarity with the palette of early industrial music, be it Maurizio Bianchi, Lustmord, instrumental Throbbing Gristle [grittier than 'After Cease to Exist,' certainly], etc. Neil recently played an excellent set, opening up for Consumer Electronics, in Chicago, and it struck me how well his flavor of synth sits with other types of noise and experimental music, even if I know that on one hand, he comes from a more psychedelic, shoe-gazer-aware place. Now if I could only get around to seeing his post-Catherine, dream-pop band Buglette play live...

SLOGUN - DAYS OF AGONY - CD 'This is the fifth release in the Slogun "History of Violence" re-issue campaign. "Days Of Agony" was the sixth Slogun full-length recording, originally issued on cassette in August 1997 by the cult Italian label, Murder Release. The cassette was housed in a white vinyl clamshell case with a black and white cover that featured a very timely raccoon-eyed picture of Karla Homolka, on the front, and the now infamous yearbook photograph of Homolka's deceased sister, Tammy Lyn, on the back. Trainspotters may also want to take note of the title of track six -- and while you are at it, check into track four -- and then dig very deep regarding the title of track three...

'Piles' is a breakdown from the middle of a live song called 'Under the Face,' which was recorded in September, 2006. The song is usually only about two-minutes long, but on that night, the breakdown itself lasted for 7-minutes. The band split it into two parts, retaining all of the screaming, the feedback, the pounding, and the scraping. private series number fourteen)----LABEL DESCRIPTION
THE FORTIETH DAY - I - CD 'CD edition of out-of-print cassette, originally released in a numbered edition of 50 copies in 2006; The Fortieth Day is the duo of Isidro Reyes and Mark Solotroff, both key players in the power- electronics outfit BLOODYMINDED, a unit known for its confrontational live shows. Here, Solotroff and Reyes show off their kinder, gentler side, using guitar, bass, and synth to improvise 'sustained, withering blasts of high-pitched noise that are as distinct from one another as spotlights sweeping across the night sky; jackhammer clatter, jet-engine whines, and forlorn keyboard melodies dart in and out of those huge sounds with the grace and impunity of plovers picking a crocodile's teeth' [Bill Meyer, Chicago Reader].

RECOMMENDED!!! 'Induced Musical Spasticity commemorates the nascent pollination-in the musty shadows of the real ersatz Sherwood Forest, a couple hundred miles north of San Francisco-of the BUTTECOUNTY FREE MUSIC SOCIETY, an apocryphal institution that encouraged anything and nothing, in musical and amusical contexts, sometimes intentionally, sometimes because no one knew any better or cared.

Ripe dementia by LAWRENCE CRANE & JOHN YOUNG, TOPS INC., RORY LYONS, ZIPLOK, SIDNEY AFRIKA, THE CONDUITS, LUCIAN TIELENS, and RICHARD STREETER. And then youve got primitard rock dunt by THE FLAMBOYANT OFFALS, WALKING JOCK, DEAD BOY 3, and shockingly raw 28TH DAY material that predates most anyones idea of the original lineup of that influential band. THE BRENT LEWIIS ENSEMBLE pollutes the lions share of real estate with a side-long tape cut-up a la Faust Tapes called "Goat Embryo (Covered With Glue)," and their entire Industrial Barbecue set. Two-thirds of the material here was previously released (translation: a few dozen cassettes were dubbed one at time and passed through the hands of people in the same rural Northern California area code 25 years ago).

CAROLINER - I'M ARMED WITH QTS. OF BLOOD - LP Awesome early Caroliner LP that we don't get in stock too often... Highly Recommended! Ergotism is the name for sometimes severe pathological syndromes affecting humans or animals that have ingested ergot alkaloid-containing plant material, such as ergot-contaminated grains. The common name for ergotism is 'St. Anthony's fire', in reference to the symptoms, such as severe burning sensations in the limbs. These are caused by effects of ergot alkaloids on the vascular system due to vasoconstriction of blood vessels, sometimes leading to gangrene and loss of limbs due to severely restricted blood circulation. The neurotropic activities of the ergot alkaloids may also cause hallucinations and attendant irrational behaviour, convulsions, and even death.Other symptoms include strong uterine contractions, nausea, seizures, and unconsciousness. Historically, controlled doses of ergot were used to induce abortions and to stop maternal bleeding after childbirth, but simple ergot extract is no longer used as a pharmaceutical. Monks of the order of St. Anthony the Great specialized in treating ergotism victims with balms containing tranquilizing and circulation-stimulating plant extracts; they were also skilled in amputations.
CAROLINER / WOODPATTY THE CHICKEN CLIMBER - SPLIT - LP 'A second helping of Caroliner's inimitable 7 inch in 12 inch record format. This time, one sided, split with one member's solo marching band disasters. Concentrated on 19th Century electronic music from the troupe behind the Singing Bull Memorial Band. You'll hear mutilated banjo music, violins scraping the floor with ergot infestation, in a diseased church undergoing fire damage, suffering through brain augmentations. Caroliner side clocks in at an epic 28.1 minutes on their portion. Within the other portion of this long-player, Woodpatty serves a monster-mish-mash of deranged marching band cut ups, haunted sea farer drones, chirping homemade electronic circuits eating moldy ears of corn, and piles of broken concreet musical mucous. Woodpatty flips the cake for 23 minutes of tonal dissections. Not bad for a hobo living in a shed for over 200 years. Split release with some Fish Pies.'--LABEL DESCRIPTION

CATHARTIC PROCESS
BASTARD NOISE - OUR EARTH'S BLOOD, IV - FIVE CD BOXSET 'First conceived in 1999, and intensively honed over the past four years, Our Earth’s Blood, IV is finally realized. This is no collection - OEB IV is a full-length album spanning five discs! Few artists in any genre have delved to these depths to create such an expansive communication, in such a deepened language. Bastard Noise, aided by over two dozen artists from all over the world, have reached a true pinnacle with Our Earth’s Blood IV. Bastard Noise started alongside its powerviolence personality, Man Is The Bastard, in 1991. Our Earth’s Blood, the 7 inch EP released by Vermiform in 1993, solidified the future of Bastard Noise, rooted in caveman electronics and venomous vocals by Eric Wood. The Our Earth’s Blood II 10 inch split with The Locust from 1995 and Our Earth’s Blood III 7 inch EP from 1997, are but two more of well over one-hundred releases from this powerhouse. This new release not only encapsulates the Our Earth’s Blood tradition of over 15 years, but defines the spirit of caveman electronics that Bastard Noise created. Our Earth’s Blood IV pulls together 'Skull Servants' in collaboration of sound and fury, including:MERZBOW (JAPAN), ANDORKAPPEN (U.S.A.), AZOIKUM (GERMANY), BIZARRE UPROAR (FINLAND), CHRISTIAN BASS (GERMANY), CLEW OF THESEUS (U.S.A.), CULPIS (JAPAN), DEFEKTRO (JAPAN), EMESIS (U.S.A.), GOLEM GROSS (U.S.A.), GOVERNMENT ALPHA (JAPAN), GUILTY CONNECTOR (JAPAN), JAY RANDALL/AGOROPHOBIC NOSEBLEED (U.S.A.), KELLY CHURKO (JAPAN), NYARLATHOTEP (U.S.A.), OBLONG BOX (U.S.A.), PEACEMAKER (U.S.A.), P.W.E. (U.S.A.), RICK GRIBENAS (U.S.A.), ROTTEN PIECE (U.S.A.), SICKNESS (U.S.A.), SURROUNDED (U.S.A.), TN666 (GERMANY), VOLITION (ENGLAND) As a result of careful composition, and hundreds of hours spent in the studio, these 24 tracks have both the variety and cohesion necessary for a truly successful collaborative album. Lyrical content reveals the wholly unique voice of Eric Wood, and the packaging tastefully presents all lyrics. Our Earth’s Blood IV defines the overall ethos of Bastard Noise, serving as a manifesto as much as an epic album, clocking in at nearly 5 hours long. Our Earth’s Blood IV is housed within a completely custom, die-cut package. Exterior graphics are printed in alternating matte lamination and spot gloss to create a unique black-on-black look. The package folds out into a cross-shape, with each disc housed in its own sleeve on each side of the cross and one in the center. Careful attention was paid with the design of both the graphics and the package to ensure that the presentation of this monumental album stacked-up to its scale and content. The package is identical in width and height to a jewel case, so it can be stored and displayed in most standard CD racks.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION NOTE: Because of the small size of the set count as only 2 CD's for shipping.

NIELLERADE FALLIBILISTHORSTAR / GREEN ARMY FRACTION - WESTERBOTTEN - CD 'After Sweden’s Niellerade Fallibilisthorstar’s impressive full length albums Hålrum (SNSE) and Skrankverk (Dystonia EK) (among other stellar releases), this collaborative album shows an even further development in their sound. The pairing with Green Army Fraction (also from Sweden) for Westerbotten results in a massive, powerful sound. Their heavy use of cymbals and analog electronics creates impressions that surpass harsh noise trappings, and the listener immediately realizes that Westerbotten exceeds genre definitions or expectations of either group involved. The sounds created reveal the magickal qualities of Metgumbnerbone or Coil, the dark psychedelic ambiance of The Stargazer's Assistant The Other Side of the Island or Wolf Eyes’ Black Wing Over the Sand, and the cacophony of The New Blockaders. Prepare yourself for one of the most impressive listens in recent memory. Elaborately printed with metallic inks and packaged in a gatefold sleeve, along with a 16-page booklet.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

DIETER MUH / MNEM - ATOMYRIADES - CD 'The DM/MNEM collaboration works on a much deeper and darker level. Slow heartbeats, deep sea diver exhalations the leaden footsteps of which are the accompaniment to tibetan bowl rings and surfacing oxygen bubbles. This depth makes it a much more rewarding listening experience. Taken through headphones the laser blast destruction that pans around your shell-likes in Marazion Sand is truly stunning but everywhere on here there is much to admire.' --- Idwal Fisher

THE RITA + WILT - WEREWOLF IN THE BLACK SPACE - CD 'A sinister, erotic undertone also saturates a couple of new releases on the Tasmanian based imprint Cipher Productions. Werewolf in the Black Space (Cipher Productions CD) is a collection of collaborative material from The Rita and Wilt, drawn from a couple of limited run cassettes with an additional unreleased beast closing proceedings. Truly bloodthirsty, this is invigorating, aggressive stuff and works effectively as a whole despite its status as a collection of previously released material drawn from a number of sources. Unexpectedly subtle opening piece ‘Dead Wife of Hitchcock’ stalks the listener for some time with a deep set of repeated, brooding movements before a vicious wall instantaneously declares the arrival of the murderous fiend, who refuses to depart for the duration. This is not an expedition into monotony however, as the colour of the fortifications produced are fascinating throughout, and at key moments contrast is employed as a compositional device to great effect. In actual fact it is the subdued segments that make the sheets of harsh noise appear all the more vehement in attack when unleashed.' ---Total Scum Materials
THE VOMIT ARSONIST - WRETCH - CD 'Apparently the result of an extended period of serious mental unrest, the sound on 'Wretch' is for the most part distant and murky. The well constructed and well executed tracks sound like an interesting mix of Power Electronics and Dark Ambient with occasional hints of CMI style Darkwave and post-Industrial (track one, 'The Warm Body Complex', could be an MZ 412 out-take). The deliberately muddied sound isn't so much lo-fi retro as a restraining force on the otherwise harshness which gives a sense of claustrophobia and a feeling of being trapped. It's an important part of the whole album. Low lying synth patches, bursts of carefully tailored static, crackling and crunching, vicious distorted vocals, metal scraping and plenty of feedback – all through a layer of grime. Knowing this, it's important to keep in mind that there are serious differences between the tracks, thanks to their meticulous composition that gives the album a genuine diversity and drama. What happens, then, is the aggression becomes thoughtful, and the album becomes more considered and more demanding of concious listening. It's mainly PE but far removed from the usual cliches and attempts, the most typically furious track being the last, 'Power', an aptly titled rising from the ruins that itself ends with similar crackling that the album begins with. This is a considered and worthy work that may even help point the way to new attempts for the future of the genre.'--- Review Taken from IAM

BOYD RICE & Z'EV - UNTITLED - LP 'This stunning 12 inch brings together two long-time San Francisco friends and legends of the Industrial music scene, both active since the late 70s! Boyd Rice is well-known for his project NON and for his collaborations with Death In June, Rose McDowall, Coil and Tony Wakeford to name but a few.

JOHN WATERMAN - CALCUTTA GAS CHAMBER - CD The idea for this project came about after a visit to Calcutta in 1990, and through the nightmarish experiences during that short visit. The concept of aurally conveying the horror of a gas chamber was realised through field recordings in an abandoned electrical power station in Brisbane in 1992. The sounds are grating and harsh, a mixture of field recordings and electronic manipulations. One can rarely pinpoint a location or action but the images the sounds conjure up are of all sorts of nefarious activities related to death by machinery. The sleeve notes take you into the horror that is the Calcutta Gas Chamber. John Watermann started the re-design for this re-issue (originally released in 1993 on US label ND), but tragically passed away in 2002 before its realisation. A beautifully composed and produced CD, completely remastered and re-packaged.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION ONE OF THE GREATEST RECORDINGS EVER...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!---AD
PRURIENT - BLACK POST SOCIETY - CD 'The Black Post Society' embraces and accepts the depression of not having anything left to hunt. The mask without a face to hold.

THE REEL DEAL - MARKED FOR DEATH - CASS Here's one for those of you who particularly cherished Hot Air Balloon Ride's 'Oktoberfest' c30 this past winter, a release that garnered such critical accolades as 'shows no signs of being anything other than dicking around for just long enough to be worrying.' The Reel Deel, captured in action at Cleveland's Doubting Thomas Gallery, is the trio of John Elliott (Emeralds, Outer Space, Hot Air Balloon Ride), Ryan Kuehn (Thursday Club, Dr. Quinn Medecine Woman, Hot Air Balloon Ride), and myself, in tapes-only mode. This was a ridiculously killer/annihilated February night, of which I remember mostly all of us standing around a table laughing hysterically and the room glowing yellow while I tried to make my eyes focus on a massive fucking heap of tape. Giant flapping jaws of the cosmos tunnel jams, decked out in stoned giggling and paranoid whispers. Seriously counterintuitive water features.

With unusual electronics, processed and treated guitars, piano, etc., and a host of other elements, rhythms and loops, it takes the listener on a bizarre and beautiful journey.

ECSTATIC PEACE
16 BITCH PILE-UP / MIKE SHIFLET - SPLIT - LP 'Ohio has been rampant on the Ecstatic Peace play lists lately with the release of a long player earlier this year by Leslie Keffer and a forthcoming split LP by Emeralds and Tusco Terror. Like Keffer, who’s moved to Nashville (to be closer to Be Your Own Pet), 16 Bitch Pile-Up and Mike Shiflet are both ex-pats of Ohio. 16 Bitch to California and Shiflet to some weird small town in Japan. Mike Shiflet we’ve known for years as he has produced some of the more interesting tapes and whatnot of midwestern out-ness from his Gameboy label and from his legendary duo tour with Burning Star Core/ C. Spencer Yeh of a few years back. Like the amazing beard he has sported since childhood his music is a free-fall of acoustic wonder. He is also the cat responsible for turning on most of the world to the radical charms of three girls from Ohio wickedly named 16 Bitch Pile-Up. With a name like that you may have expected something just kinda funny but what made itself imminently obvious was that 16 Bitch was really and extremely into producing a wholly personal thrombosis of noise improvisation. Crystallized to the trio of Sarah Bernat, Sarah Cathers and Shannon Walter this trio has become one of the most consistently exciting live experiences of the last five years. These recordings by both artists were done when both were still residents of Ohio and reflect that time and space right before each other’s exodus. They are raw and righteous and ready for you to take a bite.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

M.B. - THE PLAIN TRUTH - CD 'First issued on the Broken Flag label in the UK in an edition of 500 in 1983. A different style, providing some distance from all his previous works; a more expansive experimentation with multiple layers of synthesizer sounds. Still very intense.

M.B. - ENDOMETRIO - CD 'Originally issued as a private LP edition of 400 copies in 1983. De-composition for synthetic sounds and electronically generated noises. Here MB distanced himself from the movement of the industrial bruitists, introducing his 'bionic music'. Notwithstanding the difficulty of listening, especially upon initial impact, you are facing treated and filtered synthetic sounds that become new organisms -- sound cells analysed under the microscope. This CD also includes excerpts from private tape editions originally issued on compilation cassettes. Personal and obsessive.'--LABEL DESCRIPTION

HARRIUS - ENTER THE COTTON RING - LP 'Jenny Gräf Sheppard (of Metalux) and Chiara Giovando (of PCPCG and a bunch of other bands no ones ever heard of) sits quietly for its real audience in the ages. Both an alarmingly intense and hushed noise record and totally whacked songwriter record, if it needed a category, Enter the Cotton Ring is an exploratory Mack truck of left-hemisphere-manifestation-in-time. Unlike the majority of vocal-noise hybrids bubbling up lately, Gräf and Giovando reference neither sound poetry, nor metal (for the dudes) or jazz balladry (for the ladies) but instead a novel hybrid of dream-incantation, lieder and effects that electronics might achieve but how? An unsettling mix of vocal wrenching and mellifluousness, effected guitar twang fuckery and intuitive anti-system electronics, itll send you on a rapid shuttle-ferry on the space-time straits, compelling you to keeping chewing slowly.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

Anthony Shaw has a firm grasp of the harsh noise canvas and knows how to manipulate the listener with different bombardments and heavily timed lines of crashing, crunching, feed backing, and crumbling. All classic staples of the harsh noise entity, but not always executed today with such power and force; ultimately defining thunderous ‘harsh noise’ for the avid listener.' - Sam McKinlay (excerpt from liner notes)>br<>br<'Haemorrhaging Fetus' first LP is a fresh working on the rough stylings of classic acts such as Incapacitants and OVMN and compares favorably to contemporary peers The Cherry Point and The Rita.

I was FLOORED to realize that this band was playin this CREEPY SHIT about a half hours drive from where I had grown up. These midwest dudes had a seriously STRANGE take on the synth/industrial sound. Killer washes of heavy electronic noise connected by buzzes of minimal melodic synth and truly dismal and dry half-sung vocals w/ occasional call and response..ruling especially on their classic WIR SIND. Totally WEIRD SHIT that sounded like nothing else. This CD is a heavy historical document of MICHIGAN NOISE. I hope the boys plan on letting more some of their unreleased gems out of the vault..

PUTREFIER - HYPERTENSION CLASSICS VOL. 2 - 4 CD BOXSET 'Putrefier aka Mark Durgan has been an active member, albeit below the radar, of the U.K. noise scene since the inception of Putrefier back in 1986. Firstly, starting with his own Birthbiter label which as well as cassettes also was one of the first distribution services to start importing ZSF, Selektion and many Japanese oddities into the UK. Keeping a low-profile has enabled Putrefier to work at his own pace and keeping to his own vision. Throughout the last twenty years records and cassettes have been limited but this latest release should be the start of a fresh outburst of activity. His recordings have turned up on labels such as Broken Flag, Artware, MSBR, RRR and more. This boxset though is the latest release on Harbinger Sound a label with whom he has had a working relationship with now for many years. It features the long out-of-print 'Hypertension Classics' double 7 inch which was sold at shows in japan during the year 1999 only, plus over four hours worth of quality recordings dating back to 1996 but with most constructed during the 1999 - 2001 years. If you want pointers think of the possibilities of good Voice Crack, the INA-GRM extremities & 'Crash for Hi-Fi' -era Merzbow being dropped into a pinball machine ! Yes, it is that good ! After many shows alongside the likes of Ramleh, The New Blockaders, Merzbow, Pain Jerk, Incapacitants, MSBR, Thirdorgan, Emil Beaulieau. Morphogenesis, Schimpfluch Gruppe / R&G, and many others , Putrefier should be embarking on an East Coast tour of the USA during April 2006 alongside Smell & Quim, Onomatopoeia & Deepkiss 720.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

Can I own this and still live twenty feet from a school??? HELP!!! So. Hermitage vinyl debut. Handpainted. Handrulin. Mine was HANDED to me at a killer party. Where NO ONE HAD HANDS. I would file this killer LP in the 'Tales from the Darkside' section of all your Michigan Psycho Mafia wax/platters. I'll brag and say mine is a double YARD wide and contains the beyond rare/priceless ZOMBI lathe cut LP from ages ago (that COLD TURKEY kinda sounds like a BEST BUY version) and the unknown TALL BIRCH COLLAPSED ON FAMILY private weirdo noise LP from MICH. that sounds like a 'scrambled' part two of the legendary Paul Feinberg's VACATIONS mind-blowing single. Why all this nerd talk? Cold Turkey LP fits right in, hand done, raw locked inside mental battle SOUND LP. It rages with quiet slow burn, like a relay switch dipped in magic batter and cut with urine. Cold Turkey: best served: BOXED IN!!!!'---John Olson, Michigan, Capital, Fall 2009

COLD CAVE - CREMATIONS - CD 'Cremations is a collection of early demo/live/and unreleased tracks from Cold Cave. From the projects isolated beginnings to the recent full band line-up the development of this singular musical entity is documented here in its icy electronic glory. From Cold Cave’s infancy sexual identity and oblique existentialism have been expressed through biting lyrics and electronic minimalism. Rarely has the human condition been exposed so brazenly as in 'Sex Ads'. Melodies, noise and rhythms clash as stories from below the surface are retold. From the demo LP Coma Potion, which featured a rugged stripped down distortion, to the suggestive Electronic Dreams tour cassette (featuring the voice of Max Morton on the track 'Heavenly Metals'). Cold Cave has developed its own brand of genre defying electronic music, without ever betraying its dark roots. Love and pornography, Industrial music and traditionalism, poetry and profanity all mix together in a hedonistic, cocktail of nihilistic nights and mournful mornings. Cremations collects all this work for the first and last time. contains painted nail ep, coma potion lp, electronic dreams cs and more.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

PRURIENT - COCAINE DEATH - CD 'Cocaine Death is a compilation of three of Prurient's finest Hospital cassette releases as well as two unreleased tracks. The previously released material forms a triptych exploring the relationship between futile pleasure, substance and escape; escape being a myth. Cocaine Death (originally C-10 packaged in an envelope, limited to 46 copies) is perhaps the most sought after of the recent Prurient cassettes. The content is based on the glamour and destruction of toxic nightlife. The B-side features guest vocals from FFH and continues the themes with the addition of bondage. This material is a considered classic modern Prurient. Caribbean Overdose (originally a C-10, packaged in a standard shell package and limited to 100 copies) explores a different but strangely direct topic of the sexual reproductive life of plants. There is nothing common or typical about the sounds and direction of this material. Further examination into the life of scientific advancement and education. Tylenol Murders (originally a C-10, packaged in an oversized envelope and limited to 10 copies) takes the sounds and concepts of the aforementioned releases and expands the sounds to further limits of cracked static, strained vocals and strange melodic loops. This sought after limited material is seeing the light on this release to most Prurient listeners for the first time. Since the inception of both Prurient and the Hospital Productions label, cassette releases have been an essential format for the communication and participation in the industrial/noise culture. packaged in digipack with 16 page color booklet.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

This album is a brilliant blend of foreboding tension, and anxiety while using the most lively, disturbing, and textual elements of noise. All of which are brought together with the phenomenal detail and balance of an accomplished electronic composer. Songs that you think will explode leave you hanging with tension, while others erupt with violence out of nowhere. It's an absolutely brilliant album that was worth the wait.---LABEL DESCRIPTION
SUTCLIFFE JUGEND - THE FALL OF NATURE - CD 'the fall of nature is a epic, grandiose drone piece almost one hour of pure electronics that echoes the masters of the form. the album grows in intensity throughout the recording making for an unexpected release. there are many sides of darkness and many ways to express it. the fall of nature is the balance of sound, in a listenable format. the initial feeling is that of an almost holy, heavenly sound, the skies opening in tribute to the nature which is falling. yet fans of classic sj will be plenty pleased at the psychotically manic conclusion that will not disappoint any fans of pe terror. this music takes aim at several nerve centers at once. this is not just noise, drone or pe but something new that mixes various elements of each together for the first time. co release with groundfault recordings.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

WOLF EYES - ALWAYS WRONG - CD 'Always Wrong is a mantra of severity. Wolf Eyes has been scouring audiences across the globe with their acid drenched industrial noise and dub terror psychedelia, establishing themselves as the trailblazers of a genre and pioneers of the long-form noise tour. coming forth from the piles of tape loops and effects the bulk of tables reeling with electronics have been shed. This clarity never sacrifices intensity as paradoxically this is the most organic of the full lengths but also the harshest and most dissonant. Opening track “Cellar” immediately sets the pace of barraged edits and percussive electronics as startling vocals spit from the dry throat and remain unfiltered for the first time breathing a clear litany of scorn. a new voice is rising and it isn't happy. throughout the album non-electronic beats created from live drums replace programming while colliding tape loops and junk metal bring new unstable rhythm like a house with erroding foundation.  “Living Stone” shows a more natural state of acoustic composition highlighting the despondent subtle plucking of controlled guitar improvisation that could come from natures ghost. forging ahead in “We All Hate You” loud tonal horns and architectuarly placed electronics.  however their aesthetic core of pummeling hasn't been abandoned as the aggressive “Broken Order” takes hold with shrill feedback fueling industrial cannon blasts of white hot noise that burn the body from the neck down. an eerie harmonica driven death march straight out of 'once upon a time in the west' cries on the closing track 'droll/cut the dog' Immediately it is clear that Wolf Eyes have crafted a statement with maturity that stands at the top of their mysterious discography. Always Wrong is a denial against conformity and the triumph of walking a path alone. Young, Olson, Connelly. '---LABEL DESCRIPTION
WOLF EYES & SICKNESS - THERE IS A PART OF ME YOU WILL NEVER KNOW - LP 'Hospital Productions is proud to release the first-ever collaboration between these two legends, Wolf Eyes and Sickness.

Reminding us of the peaks in either artists' catalog, There Is A Part Of Me That You Will Never Know processes the deepest sounds of these four masters in a haze of lone atmosphere and true noise.

SUDDEN INFANT - MY LIFES A GUNSHOT: RETROSPECTIVE 1989 - 2009 - 4 LP SET Intense and and emotionally draining set of classic noise from Joke Lanz. When this set first arrived to my house I casually popped it on the turntable and started listening while reading GXs liners. Very quickly I had to stop the record and set it aside for the RIGHT time. Listening and reading was just TOO HEAVY for a casual listen. I had to prepare to take it all in. Being a father myself, it hit me hard to read the essay while listening to Jokes noise...hearing the tracks he made with his son...it was all very moving. Just like entering fatherhood, listening to this set you will feel pretty much every emotion there is: love, hate, joy, disgust, amusement, anger, confusion, satisfaction etc etc... This collection is really one of those things that makes you sit back and say to yourself...FUCK! Life IS good! A really amazing set. BRAVO TO MY FRIEND JOKE! - AD Limited edition of 500, Paintings by Joke Lanz, Essay by GX Jupitter-Larsen, Mastered by Rashad Becker, Design by Bill Kouligas, Compiled & selected by Joke Lanz and Ed Benndorf.

RAFAL KOCHAN - ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF INDUSTRIAL MUSIC VOLUME 1 - BOOK + Double CD Really well put together book! Volume 1 here features artists starting with A thru C and bands beginning with numbers as well. Contains a paragraph or two and discography for hundreds of artists from all over the industrial / noise genre. Pretty dang thorough as well... I mean prolly as close as you can get with something PRINTED. Everyone from AHLZAGAILZEHGUH to ALU, ROBERT ASHLEY to BOY DIRT CAR, CLANG QUARTET to CURRENT 93 are included.. It is very much all experimental industrial and does not really (thankfully) dive into the industrial musical sub-genres as ebm, techno, industrial metal, etc... This book also contains 2 CDs of mostly exclusive tracks as well from ALTER OF FLIES, ANDREA MARUTTI, ANEMONE TUBE, ARTIFICIAL MEMORY TRACE, ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB, BARDOSENETICCUBE, BEEQUEEN, BOB BELLERUE, THE BLACK VIAL, BLACK LEATHER JESUS, CHAOS AS SHELTER, CHEAPMACHINES, CHRISTBLOOD, CIRCUIT WOUND, CLEW OF THESEUS, COCK ESP, NICOLAS COLLINS, COSTES, AND CRANK STURGEON. A really insane amount of work was put into this. 100 Pages...Just by eyeballing it, Id say its about 11 inches tall, 9 inches wide and about half an inch thick. Will fit nicely next to the RE/Search books on your shelf. Cant wait for the future volumes to be released! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
XX COMMITTEE - NETWORK - CD Reissue of an AMAZING and MANDATORY early 80's industrial LP... Think minimal beat rhythm indsutrial ala early Esplendor Geometrico...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!'---AD 'the twenty committee was my project with chris scarpino; it ran from 1981-1985. network was my first lp release and the first classic of my long career. it was the second xx committee release following a cassette, steel negro music, on arph records. network was originally supposed to appear on charles balls lust/unlust label but it went bust (unbust). luckily, a couple of weeks after we heard the terrible, terrible news, thermidor records got in touch and ended up releasing the lp. our idea was simple one. we wanted to strip industrial music, which we both enjoyed, of all of its rock moves and create a music that sounded like idealized heavy industrial machinery. we thought the repetition of our music, as well as the sound, was a radical critique of the exploitive nature of work under consumer-capitalism. we wanted to make machine-like anthems of negativity, but like the sound of heavy machinery, with a stark and powerful beauty. thats what we thought, anyway. the record sank without a trace. chris got disillusioned over the actual opportunity to make good art and make a living and went into engineering. ive stayed the course. it seems like he may have been right. at any rate, this is a nicely done and fully authorized re-issue by the polish label impulsy stetoskopu. numbered edition of 250 copies, well mastered from the lp. nice digipak reproduction of the cover with photos on the inside.' - Scott Foust (Story Of Failure, Idea Fire Company, Tart, Shadow Ring, Pickle Factory, Anschluss, Swill Radio, etc..).

INDUSTRIAL RECOLLECTIONS
ERIC LUNDE AKA TRAIT - INSPIRATIONALS - CD 'Back in 1988 Arbeit Group label released obscure industrial-noise release by project called TRAIT. A-side of the tape includes several different arrangement for inspiration in battle. B-side included several of those arrangements combined together for temporary unified action. 45 minutes of most primitive analogue destruction, leaving no place for easylistening or relaxing moments. Even with the atmopheric and dark moment, sound is extremely decayed and coarse sound of tape loops, manipulation and electronics which transforms it to difficult industrial-noise. Years after the original release, personnel behind it has been officially declassified. Trait is one of the most vicious works of Eric Lunde, known for 80´s masterpieces under his own name and legendary industrial group Boy Dirt Car. Releases on V2 archief, RRR, AWB, Powertech Industries. 'Inspirationals' is carefully reflecting the original tape as accurately as possible. Material is transferred from original master tapes to CD by artist himself, leaving everything 100% as is. There is 2 long pieces (A and B side) with no mastering, no cleaning up, no boosting. Artwork is faithful to the original release, replicating the it as accurate as possible.

BRENDAN MURRAY - WONDERS NEVER CEASE - CD 'Four years in the making, the music of Brendan Murray’s latest/greatest album of cinematic drone anthems, Wonders Never Cease, was honed during live concerts around New York and New England. Recorded in situ, each track was painstakingly (re)assembled and embellished back at Murray’s studio. While it cannot accurately be called a ‘live album’, the adrenaline thrill of live performance is palpable as soon as the opening howl charges out from the speakers. From the laminal scorch of the opening track, through an electric fizz storm and a breathy hymn for what sounds like harmonica and folding chairs (?), the eyes-wide-open bliss of Wonders is exhilarating. Soulful, melodic and intimate, this is electro-acoustic music as gloriously life-affirming and natural as a sunrise.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
M. BEHRENS - ELAPSED TIME - CD Well executed drones and clatters. Lots of creeping rumblings, with killer editing. Some very computerness parts. Some total rake in yer ear parts.
SEHT & STELZER - EXACTLY WHAT YOU LOST - CD 'This first album of cross-hemisphere hum by Seht (the nom de musique of one Stephen Clover) and Howard Stelzer emerged organically via tapes shared through the post between New Zealand and Boston over the course of a year or so. Without any spoken agenda or external organizing concept from the start, the music willed itself into a darkly psychedelic, implacably melancholy haze. A quick scramble of caffeinated tape action kicks things off, then the album rapidly dissipates into a thick, black sleep of environmental debris and humid fog. Worn loops were played into various outdoor acoustic environments (playgrounds, front porches, trees, other prosaic spots), then fed back into low-tech machines for further harmonic decay. Shapes form in the shadows and slip away as the edges blur. After a few attempts to heave itself up onto its feet, Exactly What You Lost eventually huffs its last breath and dissolves in a cavern of industrial tics. '---LABEL DESCRIPTION

THE SHADOW RING - LIFE REVIEW 1993 - 2003 - DOUBLE CD 'The Shadow Ring formed in the seaside town of Folkestone, England in 1993. Over the course of a decade, and through eight LPs Graham Lambkin, Darren Harris and later Tim Goss scraped out a unique musical pathway for themselves, armed with only the barest of tools. With each release the Shadow Ring presented themselves as a group in constant flux. Naive acoustic improvisations, dour bedroom sci-fi epics, cryptic D.I.Y. theatre and glacial electronic soundscapes all became fair game in their hands. The group recorded for some of the premier underground labels of the era: Siltbreeze, Corpus Hermeticum, Swill Radio, and their own Dry Leaf Discs were all at one time or another called home. The Shadow Ring were also champions of the absurd - never playing live in their home country, they instead performed 23 shows across the US between 1995-97. The life of the Shadow Ring finally came to pass on the banks of the Hudson River in 2003. Life Review offers a celebration of the Shadow Ring's oeuvre - from the green chaos of 1993's Don't Open The Window 7

LAH will specialize in digital objects of live and studio performances culled from the Swill Radio archives presented to the public for the first time. The exceptional musical interest and historical value of these recordings should help the listener shed some light on the vast and mysterious world of Swill Radio.  The series begins with a legendary IFCO radio show from 1999 with Karla and me joined by Graham Lambkin. This was our second show with Graham, the first being earlier in the day at the then-nascent Flywheel in Easthampton MA. (The Hardest Working Band In Rock!) We all worked together so well that it wasnt long before Tart was formed, but thats another story. This set showcases IFCO at its most languid, spacey, and electronic. Ill-fitting machine dreams.

Comes with mp3 Download code as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 'I had recently arrived in San Francisco when, in the fall of 1965, I conceived of assembling what I described then as 'the first electrified symphony orchestra.' My 18th birthday had just passed and I possessed only modest abilities as a musician, but, being prone to such crazy notions, the concept seemed perfectly reasonable-this was the Haight-Ashbury of the mid-sixties, after all! A few months later a stable musical ensemble somewhat resembling my original conception had come into existence. What I had imagined would be an 'orchestra' of a dozen-or-so musicians proved in practice to be unmanageable. Instead, a coalition of five instrumentalists from various musical traditions—rock, classical, jazz, folk and blues—emerged as the core group. For what was essentially a reconceived rock band, the instrumentation was extremely unusual, comprising some combination of violin, oboe, standup bass, guitar, bouzouki, flute, organ, drums and percussion. All of the melodic instruments were modified for electric amplification. The Orkustra's brief day in the sun did not allow an opportunity to record a formal album. However, some recordings of the band's practice sessions and live performances were made. These precious few artifacts have been carefully restored and compiled by Mexican Summer into a comprehensive double LP album.'---Bobby BeauSoleil, Summer 2009

It's really hard to explain what it's all about, it's too alien and very far from any rational thought you can imagine.

ALEX SANDERS - A WITCH IS BORN - CD 'Alex Sanders (1926-1988) - 'the King of the Witches' - was the most powerful witch in Britain. 'Here, for the first time, he presents a full recording of the solemn initiation of a new member into the ancient Craft. Assisting him is his wife and High Priestess, Maxine, and a coven of their young witches. Alex himself is a hereditary witch; he was initiated by his grandmother when he was seven years old. For centuries the Craft was driven underground by persecution and intolerance. Today, though their innermost secrets may still be only told to witches, they can open a few pages of their Book of Shadows - and for those who seek to know more of this faith that is older than history, they can set up signposts to the way of Wicca, or wisdom. This record is such a signpost.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION Reissue of LP originally released in 1970 on A&M !!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!---AD

PANICSVILLE / IRR. APP. (EXT.) - SPLIT - LP 'Matt Waldron's Irr. App. (Ext) has gained some reputation over the years, not just because of his solo work, but also his membership of Nurse With Wound. In his solo work he plays some rather dark atmospheric pieces of music, which in this new case isn't that drone based, but still rather subdued. Built from elements of improvisation on instruments we no longer recognize, heavily processed into a nice flowing piece of electronics slowly shifting about. Not a work that is a real surprise, but nevertheless a fine solid Irr.App. (Ext) piece. The Panicsville side shows them in a more improvised mood than a noisy one, which we might be used to with them. Like their main-man Andy Ortmann they too moved away from the strict noise happening in order to grow further and expand the possibilities of doing what is possible with sound. They remind me here of old Nurse With Wound, with scrapings, vague percussion interludes and swirling electronics based on wind instruments. The best thing I heard by them.'---VITAL WEEKLY Over three years in the making! The venerable and exquisite Irr. App. (Ext.) create some of the most intriguing experimental work being produced these days, not to mention the amazing accompanying visual art of Mat Waldron which will make this release an instant classic. Panicsville delve deeper into a place of uncharted plasma coated dreams, to deliver a surrealistic soundtrack for decaying matter. This LP is in an edition of 500 copies pressed on 140 gram marbled vinyl, housed in pro-pressed jackets.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

EMACIATOR - COVETING - LP 'Misery wears many masks, but Tulare, California fatalist Jon Borges has etched his mark on most of them. For at least half a decade he’s pursued increasingly suicidal tendencies under his Pedestrian Deposit guise (which is currently on hiatus), splicing subdued loops of morbid beauty against savage canyons of harsh noise histrionics. Lately, though, he’s been straying more and more from this aggressive exercise in contrasts in favor of his Emaciator alias, which draws from the same dark wellspring of bitter memories and bipolar rage but, instead of unleashing it in grand frenzies, bottles everything up inside until it seeps out the pores. Early efforts/cassettes retained a strain of buzzing nausea reminiscent of his PD days, but the last 12 months have witnessed a complete abandonment of any ties to the past. Times are still bleak, sure, but the grey prisms of brooding ambience Borges now conjures and slowly collapses convey a depth of mood and subtlety far surpassing simple signifiers like Indifference, Resentment, Remorse. Coveting collects together five exquisite Emaciator compositions (including two particularly riveting songs that were debuted live at Echo Curio last winter) for a harrowing 40 minutes of troubled solace, crisscrossing suicide guitar lines, and entranced self-reflection. Meditation is a myth; desire does not sleep. Black vinyl LPs in shrinkwrapped jackets with layout by Borges, cover photograph by Shannon Kennedy.

ANDY ORTMANN - PROVOCATIVE ELECTRONICS - LP 'Provocative Electronics', first in a series of Electronic Music recordings from Andy Ortmann, is an exploration in analog synthesizers and recording techniques (eight different synthesizers were used on this record). As in the days of Musique Concrete and the beginning years of synthesizer development Ortmann experiments with tones and his own brand of electronic tweakage. Provocative Electronics is not an homage, but yet another document in the ongoing history of Electronic Music. Focusing on the aspects of 60's-70's era electronics, part academic (for fans of the 20th century Greek composer Xenakis, minimalist John Cage or pioneer of Musique Concrete Pierre Schaeffer, Mort Garson, Milton Babbitt, Tom Dissevelt, Ruth White, Delia Derbyshire, Lejaren Hiller, Raymond Scott, Jean Jacques Perrey and Pierre Schaeffer) and part cheesball (aka Mort Garson, Bruce Haack). Andy Ortmann is also known for his work with the transgressive experimental group Panicsville, acid psych freaks Plastic Crimawave Sound and sole curator of the equally bizarre Nihilist Records label (USA). The Lp is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker in a limited edition of 330 hand-numbered copies, pressed on 140g vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. It is packaged in a pro-press jacket which itself is housed in a two-tone silk screened pvc sleeve with interweaving geometric designs.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE / ASTRO - SPLIT - LP 'Delving into the realm of deep listening, transported by way of analog synthesizers, Family Battle Snake weaves an electronic web that cocoons the listener in warm cascading frequencies. Calls to mind classic electronic composers such as Charles Dodge, Eliane Radigue and even a hint of NWW. Family Battle Snake is Bill Kouligas, a London-based Greek who also performs and records with Sudden Infant. Astro is Hiroshi Hasegawa of the legendary and now defunct Japanese noise unit C.C.C.C. Sonic waves of squealing feedback and oscillating waveforms meld with biting distortion in the appropriately titled “Lunatic Luminescence”. Enveloped by haywire electronics and burbling loops & skree, Astro has constructed an impressive piece of modern electronic music of devastating magnitude. A fine document of pure japanese sonic nihilism and fresh deconstucted electronic frequencies. The Lp is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker in a limited edition of 330 hand-numbered copies, pressed on 140g vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. It is packaged in a pro-press jacket which itself is housed in a two-tone silk screened pvc sleeve with interweaving geometric designs. '---LABEL DESCRIPTION
MARK DURGAN - PLOUGHING FURROWS INTO ROTTEN BURROWS - LP 'Made up of junk sounds, be they acoustic or electronic, Ploughing Furrows Into Rotten Burrows is informed by a caustic patience and steady pacing. With a concentrated approach, Mark Durgan makes the space, and even silences between sounds, an integral part of his constructions. He builds up tracks from the beginning with loops, samples or acoustic sounds, then the sound becomes quite automated due to the influence of the feedback generated from the electronic devices. For the past twenty years, Mark Durgan, known under the Putrefier moniker and his label Birthbiter (1986), is one of the few genuinely curious anomalies operating today. Disassociated with a lot of noise, he is more of a true outsider of this scene, somewhat akin to the older sound poets. Although their realm of art is very different to that of his, comparisons can be made. The lack of concrete documentation, both written and recorded, could be construed as an attempt at mystery, but the reality is that it all comes down to a total ambivalence about having a public persona. Despite that this is his first official work under his own name, it still bears similarity to the Putrefier concept. From the influences of power electronics and especially early nineties Japanese noise (Cog Dominance cassette, 1987 on Broken Flag), his music has developed into different areas of the avant garde spectrum, such as musique concrete, improvisation and electroacoustic music, demonstrated in one of his latest works done with The New Blockaders. Being able to appreciate other forms of experimentation, he takes noise to a different level. The LP is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker in a limited edition of 330 hand-numbered copies, pressed on 140g vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. It is packaged in a pro-press jacket which itself is housed in a two-tone silk screened PVC sleeve with interweaving geometric designs.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

PICA DISK
BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL - GUNPOWDER TEMPLE OF HEAVEN - CD 'Birchville Cat Motel is the project of New Zealander Campbell Kneale, who has from his base in Lower Hutt since the mid 90-ies established himself as the leading voice of this generation of NZ sound artists. Gunpowder Temple of Heaven is a new highlight in his extensive discography. A single 40 minute long-form piece that keeps building and unfolding; heaven for drone-noise enthustiasts. The CD comes with a booklet with a complete Birchville discography as well as liner-notes by Bruce Russell. From the liner notes of Bruce Russell (The Dead C): 'I've been listening to the music of Campbell Kneale for more than a decade now. Recently I've been listening with a sense of increasing admiration as he stacks up monumental sound slabs in an architecture of audition - building a lofty tower of sound. Always a dedicated worker at whatever he does, Campbell had mastered the detailed work required to place many sounds accurately across each another. Often this kind of 'more is more' strategy backfires into murky sludge, where the increasing layers merely obscure each other. On the contrary, the more BCM puts into a piece, the more you hear coming out.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION mp3 samples: MP3 Excerpt
HIJO KAIDAN - POLAR NIGHTS LIVE - CD 'Hijokaidan has since 1979 been one of the leading voices in Japanese noise music. Starting out with a broad line-up of performers, eventually in the course of the 80-ies the Hijokaidan sound became easily identifiable with the shredding guitar-sound of band-leader Jojo Hiroshige and the high-pitched piercing voice of Junko. Few noise acts have such an instantly recognizable (and intense) sound. Although Hijokaidan's status as noise superstars they rarely perform outside Japan. The pleasure was then ever greater for the All Ears festival in Oslo Norway to present Hijokaidan at their festival in january 2006. Polar Nights Live documents these historical and astonishing performances.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION mp3 samples: MP3 Excerpt
HILD SOFIE TAFJORD - KAMA - CD 'Hild Sofie Tafjord has been known to the public for over a decade as part of projects like SPUNK, Fe-Mail (her duo with Maja Ratkje), Agrare (Fe-Mail with dancer Lotta Melin), Trinacria (Fe-Mail with black metallers Enslaved) and collaborations with Birchville Cat Motel, Wolf Eyes, Matmos, Ikue Mori, Otomo Yoshihide, Carlos Giffoni, Zeena Parkins, Fred Frith and countless others. She has released albums on labels like Asphodel, Rune Grammofon, ECM and Gameboy Records. Her main instrument is the horn, but other acoustic instruments as well as metal objects and noise electronics has always been an intregral part of her pallet. Hild Sofie Tafjord is, quite simply, an amazing performer, composer and improvisor with a broad musical range. A monumental 41 minute colossal single-track of an album recorded in the period from summer 2006 to february 2007 during dark nights in her studio in Oslo. KAMA is mostly made from the sound of her french-horn; although if you didn't know it you probably wouldn't have guessed. Layers upon layers of distorted, processed and mangled pieces of sound form a consistent stream of sonic bliss. Within this massive sound-construction slowly shapes build into an epic climax. The title KAMA hits at few interpretations. A quick wikipedia search tells us that KAMA could be a number of things; a double edged dagger, iron pots used in tea ceremonies, and indian for lust (as in kama sutra). Well, who cares what it means when it feels and sounds this good?! Hild Sofie Tafjord's debut album is here, and it has been worth the wait.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION mp3 samples: MP3 Excerpt

He brings a stellar focus to his usual barrage of bizarre electronics and droning that will make you sea sick and in awe of his mixing mastery. Full Color art + comes with 3D GLASSES!---LABEL DESCRIPTION
DRUNJUS - ZONE GROWN - CASS 'A really intense pair of (what im assuming is) live to tape improvisations recorded as a trio featuring Crystal Dragon. Intense zone explorations here. No suprise on the metaphorical heaviness of this cassette, but from a project has become so synonamous with DRONE , this tape suprsingly has a classic electronics vibe to it. They use dense droning only as a means to hang an overall zone one the track. in which they can expand upon. Drunjus' expansive sound creates an almost overwhelming microcosm of interacting patches and vibrant riffage all under a weird but cozy blanket of hums. The enchanting melodies that start off the tape nicely contrast the b side, which comes on nice and slow with sedate electronics and pulsating sounds. The two contrasting tracks can still be easily taken as one whole messed up piece. Unsettling drones wash in and out of the entire tape and really melt the aural senses.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

In fact, after being given his demo cd by a friend some years back, I began my search for him by asking local rappers, promoters and googling the hell out of every name he drops on the e.p. Nonetheless, After all this time I felt like the word needed to be spread about this guy.You gotta hear it to believe it.

PRISMA
LASSE MARHAUG - EAR ERA - CD 'In 2008 the Henie Onstad Art Centre invited musician and composer Lasse Marhaug to explore its audio archive. From the opening in 1968, Henie Onstad was intended as a cross-artistic arena, and soon became the leading arena in Norway for experimental art in all genres. The archive contains over 800 tapes of recordings done in the centre's concert hall and in the Norwegian Studio for Electronic Music, which was located at the centre between 1975-1978. The music ranges from recordings by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Jan Garbarek, Laurie Anderson, Mauricio Kagel, Webster Lewis, Terry Riley, Svein Finnerud Trio, Heinz Holliger, Bjørn Fongaard, Steve Reich, Karin Krog, Soft Machine, Julie Driscoll, Jokke and Arne Nordheim. The idea was not for Marhaug to make a 'remix' of this unique archive of music history, but to use the recordings as raw material for a new piece of music. Therefor musical trainspotters trying to identify the original artists will have a hard time as Marhaug has surgically sliced and diced the recordings to (mostly) unidentifiable fragments before constructing his own piece. The result of Marhaug's explorations/exploitations is titled Ear Era. This is the CD version (500 numbered 'regular' copies and 50 deluxe box-sets). The piece was also presented in three different concert-versions at the Henie Onstad Art Centre in the course of 2008.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

MALDEK - MALDEK - LP 'From out of leftfield comes Maldek, named after the theoretical missing planet which exploded to become the asteroid belt. In this case Maldek is Nate Hamlett of Seattle who has assembled an album of unusual and short quirky tracks, most of which are instrumental. The occasional vocals are experimental, sung in strange falsetto or a sweet beach boys pitch. The guitar parts are contemplative and maintain a kind of sereneness, but get very fun in some tracks, including a backwards guitar section accompanied by other instruments. Maldek incorporates interesting percussion and electronic effects as well in the more wacky tracks. Loops are played through a series of foot pedals, while the guitarist adds more rhythm. Overall, a quiet, melodic and somewhat spacey album.'---DISCOGS REVIEW INSANE SCREENPRINTED ARTWORK by MARK SCHOMBURG aka YEAST CULTURE! Limited edition of 193 copies.

ANDY ORTMANN - OCTAGONIST - DVD AUDIO 'Before better known as Panicsville, but now moving into the realms of serious music (this new release got some sponsoring from arts councils) under his own name. The octa-thing deals with the number eight, and the three pieces here on this DVD (no images) can be played on a 7.1 installation, if you have such a thing. I only have a 2.0 installation, called 'stereo', but it sounds great still. Ortmann lists (inconveniently on the DVD itself) a list of instruments - mainly old analogue synthesizers and where he did his field recordings. Just as on the Schimpfluch disc, I'd say this is the small alley where noise is really interesting. Not because it's super loud, although there are points when things are pretty loud, but because of the fine balance between electronic, noisy sounds and the crackling of highly amplified field recordings which are all put together into an interesting collage of sound. Not like Schimpfluch of short and shorter sounds, but through longer pieces which work quite well. Great stuff, both of these releases and if noise is like this, I'd sign up again.'---FRANS DE WARD Taking sound to the obvious next level (7.1), further exploring the stereo capabilities of my audio narratives, Octagonist stands unparallelled in the field of Experimental/Musique Concrete. Recorded in various locations in Germany, Belgium, Italy and the USA. This album is not compatible with CD player technology and must be played through a DVD player or DTS Decoder with Surround Sound options. Special appearances by old skool homeboys, Joe Raglani and John Wiese on one track. This release was partially funded by a Grant from the City of Chicago.' ---LABEL DESCRIPTION

An uneasy balance of lull and divide.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
KAPOTTE MUZIEK & LETHE - TSURUMAI - CD 'Recorded in the industrial city of Nagoya, Japan, Tsurumai is an expansive album of roughly improvised electro-acoustic music. Starting from a few small clicks, the music steadily grows outward, uneasily shifting and expanding… the musicians use acoustic sounds (from violin, piano, percussion), closely amplified objects, open circuits and computers, and anything else they could find. Rude bumps interrupt narcotic drones, the telltale human hands of improvisation disappear into a mysterious group sound, elements blur, vision fails, and time stops…'---LABEL DESCTIPTION

MARTIN BLADH - UMBILICAL CORDS - CD Segerhuva hereby presents the first solo recordings of Martin Bladh, who also resides in the acclaimed avantgarde group IRM and the more experimental unit Skin Area, both now widely known for their carismatic live-shows. This is a highly personal recording, which takes some firm mature steps further into physical essence and digs deep into the walls of the mothers utero with its hypnotic drones and drenching layers of organic sounds from cymbals, stringinstruments, accordion and bass, all treated with great care and respect. Instrumental throughout, bicephalous in the way of screeching, shuddering sounds and drowsy in opposition. There is something strangely slippery about the recordings, a frightening, obtuse atmosphere embedded in silk and soft controlled feedback. --- label description
MICHAEL GENDREAU - VITOJ - CD 'Long-time San Francisco based sound artist, internationally known from his extensive discography as Crawling With Tarts, releases his second full- length solo work titled Vitoj.Continuing his microscopic exploration of dense sonic landscapes within volatile stases, Gendreau eavesdrops on pressurized states of compressed gas within hydrogen tanks, diaphanous vinyl recordings of archaic voices, and perilous work environments in the far east.All explored in real-time, this series of recordings further explore the volatile balance of Gendreau's physical and psychological states‹scientific detritus working as an acoustician and social/cultural detritus in everyday nomadic life‹reaching the threshold of exhaustion where his realizations are discovered in modes of 'half-sleep.' Vitoj offers a glimpse of these stases in dreamlike form.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

MOLJEBKA PVLSE - TAMON - CD Mathias Josefsons one-man-project Moljebka Pvlse from Stockholm, Sweden here stretches the boundaries of ambient drone-music, perhaps a surprising listen for those accustomed to his other recordings put out by Eibon and Cold Meat Industry to name a few. This work to a larger degree features a sound pallette unarguably harsher than his other recordings. Tons of frenzied, computerized, but crispy clear distortion flows out over you like an ice wall and leaves the listener in a nervous state, begging for a warming aftermath. Static walls of rampant treated guitars and billowing droney backgrounds screaming endlessly out over the cold plains of the earth. ---label description

V/A - THE DENSE GRAVEL OF THE RIVERBED - CDR 'An eminent study of harsh noise through another three drastically different approaches from three amazing contemporary harsh noise artists. Haemorrhaging Fetus pummels the listener with a concentrated and seething avalanche of crunched electronics that ride down a mountain of heavy rock and cliff formations. Ferveur Noire takes a more abrupt and violent approach with stabbing and grating shifts and movements, all the while keeping the constant suffocation obvious. Sick Buildings offers a concise, concentrated, and incredibly tense study of harsh sound, it's explosive quality, and the rumbling sub frequencies it disrupts before and after it's attack. Easily one of the most focused works I have ever heard, taking the entity of harsh noise to new levels of study and concept. The release features a 'crystal' pro-CDr with pro-printed inserts and disc artwork, both encased in a vinyl 'trigger' case. 100 ed. '---LABEL DESCRIPTION

And yet Valediction is no ordinary 'power electronics' record, nor is it anything as straightforward as simply a return to their roots. Valediction is very much an entity of its own – both consolidating and expanding upon everything Ramleh have touched on in the past, but also digging into entirely fresh ground for the band. Valediction is, perhaps, Ramleh’s most bleakly psychedelic creation so far. Comes in a 4-panel gatefold sleeve with 8 page booklet with photos and cut-up lyrics from some of the tracks.

BARRIKAD / DEATH SQUAD & HYDRA - ENTROPIC SOCIETY / NEUROLOGY - 10 inch Barrikad is the sound of young Sweden. The raging youthful energy of anarchist noise as presented by Barrikad. Three tracks of splendid energetic white-hot scorching electronics dealing with the frustration and despair of what passes for everyday life for modern man in a consumerist society. Neurology 2 is most likely the last of Death Squad's recordings. The most current name has changed to MK9.

BLOOD OF THEE CHRIST - MASTER CONTROL - CD Master Control was meant to hurt, and it did. It still does. Now 20 years later it comes across as a work of true and deeply original vision. Even better than the first time. Obviously it takes its departure from the Iphar/Whitehouse/Broken Flag-tradition, but rapidly takes a weird turn and ends up somewhere else; at the very edge of a completely unknown territory. The unspeakable mad landscapes of HP Lovecraft seems to be one point of reference, snuffmovies by Brazilian deathsquads another. And plenty of attitude in between. Sure, it?s the work of a mad man, but it?s also the work of a stunningly apocalyptic genius; it will likely blow your mind as it did mine. This is extremely powerful stuff. I never quite recovered from this one. ---Tommy Olsson //// Master Control contains the original c-60 plus a 10 minute bonustrack recorded in 1988. FUCKING KILLER!
ENVENOMIST - CHARIOTS - LP 'These strangely cinematic and abrasive droning landscapes of impending doom made up from analog synths are the work of David Reed, for some perhaps known from the plausible Luasa Raelon project. The sparse, cold, minimal pieces reminds us of early industrial-era electronic artists such as Maurizio Bianchi and Lustmord, but also gives hints to the works of Klaus Schulze and early Tangerine Dream. Without doubt presenting a vile and nightmarish vision of a territory where noone can be trusted and there's nowhere to hide – this certainly is bleak post-apocalyptic music. Limited to 300 copies in pro-printed black/white matte covers.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

These are new recordings with the new member Mikael Oretoft joining on bass. Two long tracks - the first being an intense up-building, deep pulsating number with both spoken and rough vocals, volcanic exaggerated bass noise and doom-laden atmosphere. The second more of an aftermath with its downspiralling, almost dreamy character of echoing tones, ripping clangs and chilling audio-schmerz.

RJF - GREATER SUCCESS IN APPREHENSION & CONVICTIONS - CD 'The most extreme and outstanding music from Sweden. Desire, despair, disgust, destruction & death - The Sound of RJF. This is the real thing, no false grace or hypocrisy. RJF get their inspiration from the sickness of mankind. This is not about music, this is survival and fighting back. A cock down the throat of morality. A knife in the back of society. RJF create their own values. Control & Knowledge.'---Text from the original 1983 press release. We might not have put it as poetic but when we found the old press release we couldn't resist the beauty of the text. The sounds on this disc drag you all the way back to the chilly gutters of early 80's fierce electronics. Menacing and mechanical noises, grating rhythms pick on your nerve endings, this is a sinister reminder that something was alive back then, something that is missing now. This CD-reissue of the old LP has been re-mastered from vinyl since the master tapes are missing and is packaged in a 12-page booklet A5 sleeve with lots of pictures, liner notes by Kristian Olsson and original art made by Leif Thuresson.

TESTICLE HAZARD / GOLDEN SERENADES - MORNING STAR / EVENING FIX - LP 'Please get ready for a true heavy weight team-up on this split LP. Testicle Hazard (Lasse Marhaug + Tommi Keränen) deliver a side-long orgy of blistering fuzzed-out heaviness. This is a duo that has very quickly proved that they are indeed capable of producing some truly ear-shattering noise bliss - two noise maestros doing what they love and live for, and you can feel privileged to indulge in the result of their hard work. Golden Serenades (John Hegre + Jørgen Træen) immediately locks into a devastating groove (for lack of a more suitable term), and a terribly convincing assault of metal clattering and a non-stop moving mass of forceful sonic onslaught of the highest order. When these Norwegian lads team up, you can expect nothing less than noise nirvana. If you have yet to experience the thrill of Golden Serenades, this is where you get *on*.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
V/A - HöGA NORD - LP Seriously one of the BEST comp LP's to be released in QUITE SOME TIME. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LP of excellent Swedish noise... SOON TO BE A CLASSIC.---AD 'Four lenghty tracks from four Swedish experimental groups in tribute to the god-forsaken land we call Sweden - or, Höga Nord if you wish. From BOCKSHOLM's structured and up-building jackhammer mechanics, onward with DUSA's moody downer-beats from the outskirts of hell - further down the road NIELLERADE FALLIBILISTHORSTAR's abstract and ghostly metal junk/cymbal ambient to VÅRTGÅRD's heavy and painful death industrial - this is a record that follows an unknown path, where grey and depressive specimen without contrasts makes a subliminal whole. For sure not the full-on noise Segerhuva perhaps is known to release but a beautiful and deranged journey through our native mushroom woods and what one can find if taking a leak on a small highway side-track somewhere outside of Skara.

TETUZI AKIYAMA & JEFFREY ALLPORT - LIVE AT THE WESTERN FRONT - LP 'The Japanese guitarist Tetuzi Akiyama performs an improvised set as a duo with Canadian percussionist Jeffrey Allport on July 1, 2006. This recording is of the first and only time these two well-regarded improvisers have ever played together. Living on opposite sides of the Pacific, this show became an opportunity for Allport and Akiyama to each perform some of their most advanced techniques in improvised music with a player whose style was truly compatible. Allport approaches every side of his drum, the rim, the snares, the steel clamps, and of course, the skin to produce a challenging repertoire of sounds that defy the drum's gambit, segues from Tibetan drones to electronic clicks and cuts, distant steamships to nearby popcorn. Akiyama's preternatural improvisations along the neck and body of his guitar meditate patiently on each bluesy sound, almost as if his fingers were playing along the surface of a slow-moving river. Every note that Akiyama plays becomes a sensational interruption causing ripples, splashes, and oxbows in the flow of the music. Performed live at a sold-out Western Front, Vancouver's oldest and most significant artist-run venue, Akiyama and Allport propose a rich new vocabulary for music. Two tracks on vinyl mastered by Toshimaru Nakamura. This LP documents an unprecedented collaboration between two modern masters of far left improvisation.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION. Limited to 500 copies

SWILL RADIO
ASMUS TIETCHENS - TEILS TEILS - LP 'I’ve been a fan of Asmus Tietchens’ music since Formen Letzter Hausmusik came out in 1984. That LP fascinated me and I soon began acquiring anything I could by this strange musical force. I’ve learned a lot from his music over the years and we became acquainted via the post in the late 90s. As it turns out, we both have an extreme fondness for cigarette smoking and an interest in Max Nordau’s Degeneration, so what better place for his first LP release in years than Swill Radio? The side-long Teilmenge 20 starts off the LP with an odd manic ticking that never lets up. Other sounds ebb and flow throughout and the whole piece has the rare quality of sounding totally artificial and yet organic at the same time. The second side slows things down with three tracks of dripping industrial ambience. The whole LP brings to my mind an atmosphere of waiting. To quote my good friend Matt Krefting, “No one’s music sounds both as cold and as emotional in quite the same way as the music of Asmus Tietchens.” I couldn’t agree more. Excellent stuff!'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
FOUST! - JUNGLE FEVER - CD 'FOUST! is my first ever solo project in all these long years. Through most of these years, since The XX Committee days, a constant supporter and champion of my work has been the journalist Oskar Spee. I think his email sums up Jungle Fever quite well. Dear Scott, I received Jungle Fever yesterday. Many thanks. I first played it while I was cooking dinner and found it very odd and perplexing. Later, I sat down in a more relaxed set and setting and gave the recording my full attention at good volume. Astounding! Simply one of the most hallucinogenic recordings I have ever heard. All three ‘acts’ have a monotony to them, but the shifting patterns under the surface are superb. I can certainly see this as a drama involving a late 19th century British explorer contracting a tropical disease. The drama is palpable. The three acts, if I may call them that, “Train Journey/ Restless Natives”, “Delirium”, and “Demise” are perfect. Really fine work. The strange and obsessive attention to detail of Jungle Fever really reminds me of your film. Another stone in your mighty edifice. My (our) mission continues. We should get together soon. We have much to discuss. Here’s To Love! Oskar Digipak. Edition of 300.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
IAN MIDDLETON - AURAL SPACES - LP 'I've been in touch with Ian Middleton for over 13 years now, lured into contact by a Remora lathe-cut LP, I believe, which sounded similar in intent to IFCO material that Karla and I were working on at the time. Ian was a somewhat prolific figure of the 90's UK underground scene, both with his music and his visual art. There was an LP for Swill Radio 'in the can', which ended up on Eclipse as there wasn't any money here to release it. Ian's music has always had both organic and artificial elements combined with the vague melancholy of distant beauty. With Aural Spaces, Ian has refined and distilled his processes into a gorgeous electronic diamond. To quote my good friend Oskar Spee, 'Aural Spaces is an exotic, scientific, and beautiful perfume that slows down time and allows one to live, however briefly, in a better possible world'. I couldn't agree more. There is not a wasted moment. Ian has kept a low profile the last few years, preferring to concentrate on his work and make it better, an approach of which I heartily approve. The sequencing of this LP is immaculate, a skill that is becoming a lost art in this shuffle-play world. Aural Spaces is totally removed from the confines of today's backwards looking fads and instead points its bow directly towards The Future. Fighting the good fight.---LABEL DESCRIPTION FANTASITC LP of mellow synth....you monkeys ordering all the EMERALDS stuff should TOTALLY check this fucking LP out... RECOMMENDED!!!-AD
IDEA FIRE COMPANY - STRANDED - LP 'Since 2002, Idea Fire Company has performed and recorded as a quartet with core members Karla Borecky and Scott Foust (me!), joined by Meara O'Reilly and Jessi Swenson. (Meara and Jessi, along with Matt Krefting, start in my finally completed feature-length film Here's To Love!) I feel this LP is as strong as any I've been involved in, and I feel pretty strongly about my body of work. Stranded is the perfect companion to Anti-Natural. Excellent Karla Borecky cover. 180 gram luxury object.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
IDEA FIRE COMPANY - ANTI-NATURAL - LP 'Idealized field recordings that capture the hallucinatory isolation of an abandoned arctic base. Anti-Natural combines organic mechanistic processes into an aesthetic whole. Both severe and opulent, naïve and self-confident, Anti-Natural offers an escape route from the false dichotomies of man/nature and man/machine and attempts the transcendence of the impossible. Electronic recreations of the world around us, both real and imagined, foment immutable revolutions in sound.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
IDEA FIRE COMPANY - THE ISLAND OF TASTE - LP 'IFCO follows up our conspicuously ignored Stranded LP with an equally, if not more so, strong statement. Core members Karla Borecky and Scott Foust are joined by an all star cast: Meara O’Reilly and Jessi Leigh Swenson from Stranded, as well as Frans de Waard, Graham Lambkin, and Dr. Timothy Shortell. The Island Of Taste depicts a manoeuvre in which the beauty becomes more beautiful as the desperation becomes more desperate. A stark and romantic mission to the rocks. Lavish package featuring an excellent Karla cover painting as well as a booklet presented as a set of 5 x 7 art cards with another Karla painting, band photos, and an essay of mine. Perhaps The Island Of Taste is the first LP to make explicit a certain nostalgia for itself. Along with The Shadow Ring’s Swill Radio trilogy (Lighthouse, Lindus, I’m Some Songs), I’d put IFCO’s trilogy (Anti-Natural, Stranded, The Island Of Taste) up against anyone’s three LP run. We’ll see…'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
RALF WEHOWSKY - eaRLy W - VOL 2 - NUR DIE TIERE BLIEBEN UBRIG - LP 'Volume two in a Swill Radio series of LP's documenting the early work of Ralf Wehowsky (aka RLW). As with volume one, a slightly different version of this LP was originally released on cassette by Wahrnehmungen (later renamed Selektion) in the early 80's. This is a much more band-oriented release than volume 1. A number of tracks were recorded live and the mood is aggressive throughout. This is a fantastic Neue Deutsche Welle document. If it had been released on LP, it would be legendary. It still is.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
SCOTT FOUST - HERE'S TO LOVE - DVD Super Weird movie by Scout Foust of Idea Fire Co, XX Committee, etc... Hypnotic, creepy, confusing..killer soundtrack.
TART - RADIO ORANGE - LP 'The debut LP from the trio of: Karla Borecky, Graham Lambkin, and Scott Foust, recorded and assembled over 8 months between 1999 and 2000. Tart is an exquisite combination of three distinct minds, much like the skillful structure of diverse, yet subtle, ingredients in a piquant and nostalgic recipe: The Past as well as The Future. Tart blends together these strange elements in an organic yet totally disciplined style that renders many of their contemporaries as either flabby or boring.. Radio Orange presents 7 original pieces of expertly edited new music-form. From the opening tape-collage miniatures, The Rabbits of Mangtarau (pts 1 & 2), through to the indeterminacy and excitement of the closing title-track, Radio Orange carves its identity through great use of diversified expression. The analog drone / vox duet: Astride Such Delicate Pins; the bizarre environmental action, Woman In Her Womb; the fragile tone composite, The Mums; and the grinding electronic surge of (the almost 20 minute) Chopin in a Shell all help complete the program in classic style. The overall sound is both hypnotic and explosive, with each side being carefully sequenced to maximize the fact. Radio Orange comes complete with a beautiful full-color sleeve, designed by Karla, and contrasting monotone labels by Graham. The super-modernist avant garde continues to raise its aesthetic head under the romantic banner of the Anti-Naturals. Tart is fabulous.' ---LABEL DESCRIPTION
TART - BRING IN THE ADMIRAL - LP 'Tart (Graham Lambkin, Karla Borecky, Scott Foust) present the world with their second LP, Bring in the Admiral. Since the release of their first LP, Radio Orange, Tart has been plying their trade at various shows in the northeast U.S. Using the same minimal instrumentation as the live shows (two small Casios, guitar, and shotwave/cassette boombox, plus a few odds and ends and the Anti-Naturals trademark tight editing), Tart produces a dazzling array of scenarios, a testament to senseless deranged beauty. Beautiful color cover. Who doesn't need a little Tart in their life?'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
THE PICKLE FACTORY - OUR PLEDGE - CD The Pickle Factory is Karla Borecky and Scott Foust from IFCO plus long-time collaborator Mike Popovich. The sound is somewhat similar to the Idea Fire Company, although within at least sort of a song structure. Many think this is our finest work yet.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
THE SHADOW RING - I'M SOME SONGS - LP 'Posthumous final LP recorded in 2002 that completed the 10 year life cycle of The Shadow Ring. This LP was recorded in Poughkeepsie NY over a 3 week period. The atmosphere is tense and stoned. A depressing joke -- one punchline after another. I'm Some Songs was recorded by Darren Harris, Graham Lambkin and Tim Goss -- a record which pays its own tribute to its own fallen heroes.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
THE TOBACCONISTS - PROMETHEUS / THE DARK SECRETS OF DOCTOR PERATI - 7 INCH Excellent 7 inch from Scott Foust and Frans de Waard.

WASTELAND JAZZ UNIT / TALIBAM! - ECSTATIC JAZZ DUOS - LP 'In the first installment of the Ecstatic Jazz Duos series, there is no room for subtlety. On the Talibam! side, the 18-minute 'The Geometric Mophometrics of P.P.P.P.P. McNasticals' (what?!) is a multi-part epic unlike anything else in the New York City duo’s recorded output. Matt Motel (synthesizer) and Kevin Shea (drums) run through the cacophonous noise-jazz most of us know them for, but also seamlessly engage in righteously proggy pursuits taking hits off King Crimson and Keith Emerson. On the B-side, Wasteland Jazz Unit gurgles shrapnel on two rippers for amplified saxophone (Jon Lorenz) and clarinet (John Rich). Cincinnati’s premier Art Damage skater-jazz crew have recorded with the likes of C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) and Ryan Jewell (Pink Reason, Psychedelic Horseshit), and here deliver an aural abuse that just ruins your day. Edition of 500.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

TONE FILTH
CHARLIE DRAHEIM - POSSESSION - LP 'Pressure. Steam. Scrapyard drainage, leaking into the corners. Mold and mildew - seepage. Cracks, crevices containing black days and red nights. The infection is spreading. False and forgotten. The Butcher, as he's known amongst friends and enemies, slices his way though flesh and bone on his first vinyl appearance and his finest moment to date. Contaminating the a-side with sick tones, nauseating hiss and whine, the rumble and wet sadism of clogged sinuses led to climax in an orgy of rotten magnetic tape. Mongrel howls and junkyard threats make up the unhealthy flip of this record - the slowest of rhythmic thump wrought in contrast to relentless clang reminding of the new, no, The OLD Blockaders. It ends the second you wake up. Throw your vacant body in the gutter.'---GREH HOLGER, Hive Mind mp3 samples: Side 1 excerpt

TOWER CONTROL
JERK - A FRENETIC MENACE - CD David Russell and Adrian Bertolone and crew Cleveland noise punk outfit...Getting ready for their last show as I type... 'This Neubauten/Japanoise-inspired break-shit-and-scream-at-people band achieved transcendence almost right out of the gate a few years ago with inventive arrangements and frighteningly combative live shows. And though white noise is growing into a style so dominant in Midwestern underground music it's already a cliche', Jerk remains well ahead of the pack. The band is firmly committed to making noisy music, rather than 'subverting' music with noise. A Frenetic Menace is, for the most part, aptly titled; the chaos of their performances is well represented here on tunes like 'Black' and 'Gale.' But there's ample evidence of progress since 2004's Fuck Action. Lineup changes could explain it - the addition and departure of bassist/spasm enthusiast Eric Hughes and his replacement by ex-Roue' pedal-hopper Justin Coulter have obviously left a mark. While Jerk is ultimately a genre band for a small elect that can handle this kind of stuff, it's good to know that in a milieu in which a band can easily get away with doing astonishingly little, someone around here is willing to do the hard work.' - Ron Kretsch, Cleveland Free Times

IDEA FIRE COMPANY - BEAUTY SCHOOL - LP 'During my last visit to the states, about 2 years ago, one of the highlights was definitely a night long visit to Scott Foust's house! John Shaw took us there and explained from before what it was gonna be like; we would be seated down in a comfortable couch while 'the last great man' would stand up next to a pedestal with some quality whiskey, dope and cigarettes on it, sporting a mono-coloured suit and sunglasses (day and night) while Foust is telling stories about different art records, and mainly his own work, ranging from short films, visual work and audio since 1978! It was exactly how Shaw explained it. I was blown away by the honesty and the effort him and his ladyfriend Karla Borecki put into their work, and how little response they get to it. We shared a common interest in arrogant 'pop' quality, and especially the situationists, to which he relates his work to in only aesthetic way! I think it is a quality in people when you can't divide their work with their persona; Idea Fire Company is a collective of people that definitely swing that robe! Beautiful carpets of radio bleebs and static, piano (Karla Borecki is a trained pianist) and almost kraut-like synth ambience. Comes in a mono coloured sleeve full of dots by Dennis Tyfus, and comes with an insert. Limited to 300 copies.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
WOUT VERCAMMEN - WOUT VERCAMMEN - LP 'Wout Vercammen (1938) is a highly influential visual artist from Antwerp, Belgium. A nonstop performer since the early '50s, described by Ludo Mich as 'the Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde from Antwerp. A tight dressed dandy, going bananas every night, and looking as tight and clean the morning after.' He has been inspiring the Belgian underground art scene for more than fifty years. He was the youngest artist making real paintings at the end of the fifties. Abstractionism reduced to one gesture. One sweep. One movement of the sword. One twirling horizon. Pulling Hokusai into space and time, Vercammen organized and executed the very first happenings in Belgium in the early sixties. Great collages, the only real pop artist in Belgium, latex word paintings, pneumatic forms before someone else got bigger with it. Always on the move. The way Wout Vercammen acts, performs, talks and moves is perfectly captured on this LP! When living in Antwerp, chances are you witnessed a Wout Vercammen performance without even realizing it, this is possible at any given moment. Smuggling jenever into prison, painting the copper dome of the Carolus Borromeus church white, filling blue garbage bags with air, and especially howling like a wolf, primitive throat singing and using the whole bar as a percussive instrument! Wout Vercammen changes reality, and makes it a tiny bit better. This record is a collection of accidently recorded 'moments' and a composition of a black, a yellow and a red paint bucket all shook up through a synth and a 4 track! All varying from percussive punk primitive madness comparable to Kommisar Hjuler, a strange conversation in a garden to soundpoetry, howling and screaming. I am absolutely psyched to release this, as Wout Vercammen along with Ludo Mich has always been my favorite Antwerp psycho! Reminiscent of Ludo Mich, Kommisar Hjuler, the Vienna Actionists, Hans Krüsi. The LP comes in a offset printed sleeve with pictures of the artist, an insert with more pictures and liner notes by art critic Hans Theys! Limited to 400 copies.'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

HELDON - ELECTRONIQUE GUERILLA - LP + 7 INCH 'After our string of releases centered around the diverse German '70s scene, we're happy to introduce the next installment in the Wah Wah LPS reissue series. This time we move over to France to re-discover the beginnings of one of the most adventurous, influential and innovative French bands of the seventies: Heldon. Centered around guitarist Richard Pinhas and featuring a floating cast of regular collaborators (Didier Batard, Franois Auger, Patrick Gauthier, Alain Renaud, Georges Grunblatt; Coco Roussel amongst others), Heldon will marry Pinhas' personal obsessions of modern philosophy (Deleuze, Guattari), science-fiction (Norman Spinrad, Philip K.Dick), progressive rock (King Crimson, Fripp & Eno), American minimalism (Terry Riley, Steve Reich) and electronic music into a diverse musical cocktail that goes from the violent to the relaxed, but always retaining a dark and mysterious vibe. Often linked by critics and listeners to the experimental German bands of the era (Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel..), Heldon will release six crucial albums before being closed down by Pinhas in the late '70s. Since then, Pinhas has developed a long solo career that lives up to this day, releasing several albums and collaborations (Pascal Comelade, John Livengood, Maurice Dantec), including with Japanese noise king Merzbow. Dedicated to Robert Wyatt, Heldon's debut contained a puzzling collection of tracks that serve as a perfect introduction to Pinhas' universe: science-fiction, philosophy and musical experimentation collide in a harsh lo-fi tapestry of sounds dominated by Pinhas' 1954 Gibson Les Paul guitar and AKS synth. Not unlike some contemporary German bands, Heldon manages to take rock n' roll's language to a new experimental stage. Convulsive and evocative soundscapes recommended to all lovers of innovative and ground-breaking music. Strictly limited to 500 copies. High quality sleeves reproducing the original artwork from 1974's first press on Disjuncta. Includes insert with extra liner notes by Spanish journalist and long-time Heldon fan Paco Peir. Bonus 7 inch EP with tracks taken from Heldon's predecessor band Schizo's two EPs.' 7' tracklist: A1. Schizo (and the little girl) A2. Paraphrenia Praecox (originally released in 1972) B1. Le Voyageur B2. Torcol (originally released in 1973'---LABEL DESCRIPTION
HELDON - ALLEZ TEIA - LP + 7 INCH 'Originally released in 1975, the follow-up to Electronic Guerrilla was a more subdued and relaxed affair with emphasis on Richard Pinhas guitar and good use of mellotron. Hints of early King Crimson and the Fripp-Eno LPs are again evident in a record that stands-out as one of the more mysterious and intriguing of the whole Heldon discography. A puzzling hypnotic tapestry of sounds by one of the most essential bands of '70s experimental music. Strictly limited to 500 copies. High quality gatefold sleeve reproducing the original artwork from 1975's first press on Disjuncta. Includes insert with extra liner notes by Spanish journalist and long-time Heldon fan Paco Peir.

WIERD RECORDS
MARTIAL CANTEREL - REFUGE UNDERNEATH - CD 'Wierd Records is proud to present Martial Canterel‘s first full-length CD release entitled ‘Refuge Underneath‘, a compilation of the artist‘s first two long-deleted self-released cassette tapes ‘Drilling Backwards‘ (2006) and ‘Sister Age‘ (2004) as well as 5 previously unreleased tracks, all digitally re-mastered. Over the past 5 years the state of electronic music has seen artists slowly remove themselves from their work and visceral musical ‘expression‘ in general. Traditional electronic machines have been replaced by the computer as the dominant generator of contemporary sounds. It is in this climate that Sean McBride, aka Martial Canterel, began performing at bars, clubs and private parties in Brooklyn, NY in 2002, functioning singlehandedly as the pioneer and instigator of what has now become a new movement of minimal electronic bands in the United States. Martial Canterel records and performs using only vintage analogue synthesizers and sequencers, producing a highly-crafted, complex, and idiosyncratic form of electronic music that is simultaneously romantically melancholic and affirmatively aggressive. Inspired both by the first wave of relatively unknown minimal electronic bands in Northern Europe(a musical genre also often referred to as ‘minimal synth‘) and the seminal industrial noise bands such as Throbbing Gristle, SPK, and Cabaret Voltaire, Martial Canterel presents a new optimistic paradigm for electronic music in which the analogue synthesizer functions anew as a folk instrument of humanist resistance to a virtual ‘soft synth‘, iPod, and iTunes saturated world of ‘click and drag‘ dematerialized abstraction'---LABEL DESCRIPTION

THOM ELLIOT - LUNG VARIATIONS - LP 'it's probably one of my most 'autobiographical' albums, as it sonically chronicals what it's like to live with terrible lungs (that you dont really help). from mold poisoning the air, to tiny pebbles of mucus working thier way through the soft tunnels of lung meat, to the ragged gasps of horrific bronchitis, this record attempts to give a glimpse of my ghastly day to day irritation.'---THOM ELLIOT
