AARON DILLOWAY - ASSET STRIPPING - LP

?Sometime in 2004 I was asked to contribute a track to the The New Blockaders Viva Negativa! tribute. While working on this I ended up recording a 20 minute track using 20 8-track loops of 20 years of material from The New Blockaders. The day after this was recorded, I was to play a gig in Detroit w/ Emil Beaulieau. I decided to keep the TNB loops and use them for the show. I gave the recordings to Rupenus, who suggested the release of this LP. Side 1 = Studio track, Side 2 = Live track.? AARON DILLOWAY, April 2006. Co-Released w/ CHONDRITIC SOUND

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

KOLLEKTE is a disgusting LP: Human vomit grunts, guard dog growls, the squeal of 10,000 balloons, the clatter of 10,000 tin cans, the mumblings of 1 drunk german artist, additional scum material from John Wiese and Michael Barthel, and to top it all off.... ACTUAL RECORDINGS of the LIVING DEAD! RAIONBASHI has created a truly awkward document of sound -- possibly the most bizarre record we have released yet. Total confusion to the ears and mind. A straight-up DIFFICULT listen, meticulously edited to contain only the most disturbing and horrible sounds. This sounds like NOTHING ELSE. Limited to only 400 copies. Housed in a slick black and white silkscreened cardstock jacket featuring the usual HANSON outer 'droll flaps,' and artwork as confusing and disturbing as the sounds contained within.

'There are a lot of mugz you don't wanna know,: VD doctors, the Grim Reaper, the inside of a Fed Ex body bag, ex-mates, cops, silence, dentists, republicans, country music stars, ...list goes on and on....THEN= there are mugz you just want to get some sunshine from- you know who they are= just plain rad mugz, stokerz= and i gotta say....the Michigan Crew has Sick Llama'z BACK.....Heath AKA Juice AKA Fag Heath AKA Morellama= is just a ball of huge eyeballing goodness..how can you be mad at him? We used to have heavy skate shred sessions with the goofball and he would destroy the streetz, and still be smiling at the end, never breaking a sweat. You want this dude on your team. And you want the soundtrack to your boiling brain to be his Born Again to Die. Its got this amazing kinda arms-up-in-air-i-give-up-what-is -this-godamnn -sound style beaming through it. Heath man....dude aint really gonna give any clues back....cant count how many timez the crew has cornered the mug and been like: 'Yo man....what the hell is going on inside 'Live Birth' ?' Did you just record cars under an overpass and slow it down?", '....ha......that one...that's a weird one right?', 'Well,...tell us....the fuck?', '..........', And repeat over the coarse of 120+ Fag Tapes, Heath's label AKA the Pyramids of Michigan. He never has properly answered a sound question, we all have our clues/ideas.. Probably wrong. Sick Llama holds the rotten essence of Midwest Basement Mystery Mind Sound inside the marrow of his weird skull, right behind the strawberry blond tuffs, unblinking bug eyes, and scandi-molded mildew skin. Born Again to Die is his debt, and any signs of progression are tossed out the windows of Ham Studios. I mean its electronics, tape hiss, and ....?????? Heath really doesn't get any better or more refined, just....... stranger AKA more strange. My man Connelly says every Fag Tape has at least a 30% 'hands off' factor, meaning, seems like Llama has a nice mutant groove going on and then just jets for 10min, leaving the machine motionless. If you can tell what the hell is going on inside these grooves...bottle it and sell it, it would be ideal to have on tap.......it could be like taking a skinny dip inside the caverns of a black pool filled to the brim with soul-frying electricity waves. Born Again To Die= maybe our kid's rat kids will COMPREHEND. Then maybe they can attempt to decode FUNKY PANDEMONIUM....'---JOHN OLSON (WOLF EYES, BOY DEPT BOYZ), MAY 2007

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.

CD pressed in 1000 digipak copies, LP version to follow in a limited edition.

AAB - T.O.R.R. - CDr

The first release in the HANSON ARCHIVE series. This was originally released in 1994 as HN003. AAB aka ANCIENT ART OF BOAR was the noise project of 14 year old ANDREW WILKES-KRIER (now known to the mainstream world as ANDREW W.K.) I recently came across this cassette, relistened to it and was blown away at how fucking killer it is. 6 tracks of scorching metal abuse , synth ruining, and teenage piss. Complete avant guard scum noise. Very well done metal clatter ala TNB, with the occational rhythm ala HIJO KAIDAN's VIVA ANGEL. Believe it or not! FINAL COPIES LESS THAN 10 LEFT!!

ERIKA HOFFMANN-DILLOWAY - KARAAUDAAICHUU - 3 inch CDR

In 1996 my wife recorded this and it was released as a cassette that year. It is her screaming. Total harsh vocal NOISE from my then 18 year old wife! Anyone that knows her voice from recording w/ bands like HIS NAME IS ALIVE and others, please take warning...THIS IS A TOTAL SCREECHING ATTACK. Bits of this were also used on my BEGGAR MASTER LP. I convinced her that this needed to be re-released, but she had some terms before she would agree. SO...the profits made from this CDR will go to THE KIRTIPUR DEAF CLUB in Kirtipur, Nepal. Erika has been working with the deaf community of Kathmandu and it's surrounding areas for the past 8 years. If you'd like to make an additional donation to the club, you can paypal to orders@hansonrecords.net w/ KIRTIPUR DEAF CLUB as the subject. Also, if anyone has any questions about the Nepali Deaf Community, they can email Erika at Schmairface@hotmail.com
