Alluma, which is a pure analogue synth soundtrack style LP and Chinese, a library LP with some unusual instrumentation plus a couple of killer electronic cuts. Very interesting and wordly stuff.

"Piecing this one together meant running deep into the YS haze cloud that was 2005 cassette releases. weve got a bit of all of em on here (23 productions, tone filth, split with Skaters, split with Sex With Girls) and its just a fucking CLOUD. nothing quite as uncompromisingly blissed as Drift, but still totally faded and OMINOUS... More than anything (including the likes of Psychic, and Drift), the tracks on this release have informed the YS sound NOW. Way fewer beats, way more space, WAY WAY MORE SPACE. Tons of drones and zones, weird sounds that I dont even know what made em.. maybe it was the animals in the place we were living/practicing in? maybe it was Gabes power animal rolling out to rock and roll? Unknown. All I know is that there are phantom beasts all over this mess and Im real proud of it! edition of 1000 split release with PacREC" - JYRK.

Artist: D YELLOW SWANS Title: Live During War Crimes #2 Format: CD Label: Release The Bats Country: Sweden Price: $15.00 |
| "The second volume, this time a collection of darker and more sinister live recordings taken from their tour in Europe early 2006. 42 black minutes of creepy soundscapes painting a depressive picture of a world going down in dust and ashes. The 5 songs all has a weird desperate and dense apocalyptic feel to them, making this a haunting and very bleak experience. Trashy dark rumblings and total coldness. Again very well-edited stuff by Pete Swanson, works more like a full proper album than just a collection of random recordings. Amazing! Comes packaged in a Dual Plover full color sleeve with black felt. Cover drawings by Liz Harris of Grouper. 1000 copies." - Release The Bats. |

Artist: D!O!D!O!D! Title: Ghost Temple Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $20.00 |
| "Fantastic album of pure guitar and drums brutality (and the first non-Japanese release for PSF in several years) from the greatest noise musician in China, Li Jianhong. Long resident in Hangzhou, Li has released several records on his own 2pi label, including solo noise work for TV monitors and an album by his avant-rock unit, Second Skin. He also curates the annual 2pi noise festival in Hangzhou. He played at the Nuit Blanche festival in Paris in 2004, and this will be his second non-Chinese release. It is kind of amazing to think that China has already managed to produce a musician as au fait as Li Jianhong obviously is with the whole free noise aesthetic. D!O!D!O!D! is a full-on duo with drummer Huang Jin that mines the rich seams previously explored by Munehiro Naritas Kyoaku no Intention and Rudolph Greys Blue Humans. Endlessly thrilling free psych-noise guitar blurt that bundles up enough flailing electric energy to illuminate half of Shanghai." - Alan Cummings. |

Recently rewarded 5 stars in Time Out mag by the music editor, this album is a landmark in laid-back blues and country songwriting, feat. members of NNCK and Sunburned." -S@1. "The inimitable Mr. Speer coined the term himself upon titling his pre-Helix full length release Forgotten Country. Not so much a forgotten people of a state or a rural area. Not so either some Souths gonna rise again moonshine. More so a return to a way of presenting a music in the context of a tradition (something those boys in the band are pretty high on.) But this isnt your grandfathers Bakersfield were dealing with. Tho the tongue of the balladeer may spin tales ripe with a cast of characters including ⿿the Pastor Randolph Healey, Cheese Frog, the man from HHS, Uncle Ernie, that guy with the black mustache and red Caddy who stole your girl, and the true born sons of Levi, he sings them not only with the twang of the roadhouse, but tainted with the grit of the streets of the big city. As one casual listener once noted to the band after a performance, ⿿You guys play both types Country and Psych.

Artist: D. CHARLES SPEER & THE HELIX Title: Leaving the Commonwealth Format: LP Label: Thrill Jockey Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "Leaving the Commonwealth is the third full length by D. Charles Speer & the Helix and features their most accomplished playing and songwriting yet, setting a high watermark for narrative honky tonk rock at this late date. Inspired by swaggering, outrageous and engaging sonic tales like Cowboy Jack Clements Millers Cave, this album features byzantine songs which flow surprisingly quickly and with natural grace. The album opener Razorbacked emits nourish cinematic imagery and twists which are matched with music sparked from a wasted mid 70s cassette from Peaches or Turtles. Numerous musical luminaries, including Freddie King and Clifton Chenier, are invoked and celebrated in song. Other tracks like Cumberland and Battle of the Wilderness are historically detailed and geographically specific chronicles. Dense tones flow from all corners, with guitar sounds reminiscent of Fripp or Manzanera on one end and the pedal steel tones of Emmons and Mooney on another. Beautifully recorded by Jason LaFarge of Seizures Palace in the urban environs of Brooklyn, this album is southern by lyrical setting, country by instrumental arrangement, rocking through its rhythmic heft and most certainly contemporary in attitude." -Thrill Jockey. |

The professorial attack of the ivories, the sear of the strings, the pounding of drum skins amass into a righteous storm bound to overwhelm those uncoverted. This is an unholy mix of heart ripped vocal, Longhair piano, and guitar work drawing from both Mike Bloomfield and Norman Westberg. Featuring silk screened covers and hand stamped interiors, these retro-radicals propose the final alignment of Khnum with the phoenix." Features members of NNNK and Sunburned Hand Of The Man. |

Artist: D.A. Title: Odeon Format: LP Label: Olde English Spelling Bee Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Debut album by sci-fi oriented vintage synth duo who recently relocated to Los Angeles from Texas. Very outsider in that they were completely unaware of the current synth revival going on in the American underground (Emeralds, OPN, Caboladies, et al). D.A. began recording after being commissioned to make soundtracks for floatation tanks at a new age center in Texas. A chance meeting at a cafe led to the duo handing dozens of hours of these sessions to OESB. This album features some standouts from those early recordings. Their time in Los Angeles has been highlighted by a series of private rooftop concerts that overlook training grounds for the L.A.P.D. riot squads - the scrambling helicopters and practice gun battles below adding to the sinister dystopian vibe of their compositions. Limited numbered run of 400 copies, silkscreened by Monoroid on heavy duty chipboard jackets." - OESB. |

Artist: D.A.F. Title: Produkt Der Deutsch-Amerikanischen Freundschaft Format: CD Label: Bureau B Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |

"Bureau B reissues the first Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft album, originally released in 1979. True D.A.F. connoisseurs will, of course, be aware of the early phase of the Düsseldorf-Wuppertal combo. But most fans of the subsequently world-famous duo may well be taken aback when confronted with their debut album: forceful synth bass sounds, snappy rhythms, Gabi Delgado and leather all conspicuously absent. In their place, pure instrumental, unstructured noise-rock, played by long-haired and moustachioed types. A band can barely have undergone a more extreme metamorphosis. Gabi Delgado joined the band (hitherto comprising Robert Görl, Kurt Dahlke/Pyrolator, Wolfgang Spelmans and Michael Kemner), before the band discarded the name of YOU and christened themselves Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft. And he was also on board for the first recording sessions at Studio 56 in Mühlheim. Disappointed with the results ("too close to Schlager," the band thought) and "less than happy" with Delgados vocals and lyrics (as Pyrolator, responsible for electronics, noted), the group dispensed with Delgados services. Yet the creative will was undiminished: "We really wanted to make a record. All the Düsseldorf bands -- Male, Mittagspause -- already had an album out, everyone except us," and with the singer now gone, an instrumental album was the only option. In the wake of the studio debacle, the decision was made to take the recording into their own hands. A tape machine and two microphones were set up in Wolfgang Spelmans living room and ten days of unbounded improvisation ensued. And thus it was completed, Produkt der Deutsch-Amerikanischen Freundschaft: 22 tracks, ranging from 19 seconds to three minutes in length. The influence of Can is clearly audible. Considering the fact that other prominent noise-rock bands such as Chrome, Flipper or even Sonic Youth recorded similar music at a much later date, this "product of Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft" should certainly be recognized as a pioneering work. Possibly even the first noise-rock album the world had seen or heard. Was the world ready for such brutal, nihilistic sounds in the late 1970s? The world of record companies was not. Unable to find a label, D.A.F. proved to be not only pioneers of noise, but also pioneers of DIY. They found help from the local bank, with Pyrolator putting up his car for credit amounting to 3000 Marks. A logical step, as he was already running a cassette label called Warning Records (later becoming Ata Tak). Produkt Der Deutsch-Amerikanischen Freundschaft was the first LP on the label and was given the catalog number WR 01/LP/1979. Sales were so good that Pyrolator was able to pay back his loan quickly. Housed in a digipak with liner notes, rare photos and memorabilia." - Bureau B. |

Artist: D.R. HOOKER Title: The Truth Format: LP Label: Subliminal Sounds Country: Sweden Price: $26.00 |
| "One of the rarest U.S. psych albums, previously issued on CD by Subliminal Sounds, now in a beautiful and legit 180 gram vinyl LP reissue. The Truth, recorded in Connecticut in 1972, might very well be the ultimate North American acid rock album, ever. No hype here -- just incredible music. Tempting as it is to exaggerate the worth of such obscurities, The Truth deserves every plaudit that comes its way, making it astonishing that there was no real band to speak of. Instead, ten musicians are credited alongside the mysterious Donald Hooker, who wrote, sang and played lead on the album. Culled from the local music scene, they rehearsed only briefly before entering the studio. Tom Kobela, who played dobro on this record, remembers that Hooker "was a very likable, long-haired fellow" who "wore robes, which was pushing the dress code conventions even then." Despite his wasted appearance, though, he knew exactly what he wanted in the studio. Heralded by an eerie hoosh, the first track exemplifies the albums sound: a strong melody, funky drumming and percussion and piercing guitar, underpinning oddly philosophical, quasi-Christian lyrics. Some songs are mellow, while others rock hard. Other highlights include the irresistibly funky "A Strangers Smile" and the beautifully structured "This Thing." But the albums masterpiece is the unforgettable "Forge Your Own Chains," whose smoldering groove, enlivened by delicate synth and atmospheric brass, provides the backing for Hookers admonitory lyrics about the iniquities of substance abuse. This is one of those albums that keeps revealing new depths even when youve played it a hundred times. Connecticut hippie-philosopher concocts homemade lounge-psych masterpiece. True psychedelia! Includes a poster in a limited edition of 500 copies."- Subliminal Sounds |

The changing names make sense because each project is so different. In this guise, he has created two wonderful pieces of reverberant junk noise. These slow motion pieces (as opposed to the more intense cut ups of Razoul Uzlü) would lead one more to think he was a contemporary of Merzbow, MB and TNB than a contemporary artist. Add to this the simple cover with its paste on photocopy collage (each copy different), it looks a genuine artifact from a previous decade, the sort which would be coveted by now.

"Dark, hypnotic, tripping nyabinghi from 1974. Led by Jamaican Rastafarian singing hand-drummer Ras Michael over four extended excursions, the music is organic, sublime and expansive, grounation drums and bass-heavy (with no rhythm guitar; rather, Willie Lindo brilliantly improvising a kind of dazed blues). Lloyd Charmers and Federal Studios engineer George Raymond stayed up all night after the session to mix the recording, opening out the enraptured mood into echoing space, adding sparse, startling effects to the keyboards. At no cost to its deep spirituality, this is the closest reggae comes to psychedelia. Previously squandered in an incongruous 2-for-1 reissue, now lovingly returned to its original, singular glory at Abbey Road. Pressed on super-fly vinyl and housed in new standard-printed sleeves." -Dug Out

Artist: DAILY LIFE Title: My Time/Daily Life Format: 7" Flexi-Disc Label: Glass Coffin Country: USA Price: $6.50 |
| "Daily Life are a two piece from Providence, RI. After several tapes on Unskilled Labor, the band (CF- vox/synth, Sakiko Mori - synth) decided to enter the studio with Jeff Zeigler (Philly studio wizard) and emerged with a sugar glazed classic of monstrous icy proportions. "Necessary and Pathetic" sketches out a sputtering romantic vision replete with horny armies emerging from the darkness set to a lush trash strewn landscape equipped with sputtering drumbot rhythms. Croon power is set to 10 to ensure moist thongs. Vocals bring forth stories of aimless midnight wanderers, smarting from discipline, and lustful pilgrim rituals with the hard sting of the sunrise. This is not a lo-fidelity stab at synth-pop but a fully formed set of songs executed with maximum vision. After all the buildings fall and the survivors are wandering the wasteland scrounging for dogfood, there will be few truths, but do realize this: the few things of beauty and grandeur, such as Daily Lifes "Necessary Pathetic" will exist to instruct the human dog pack to a greater destiny. Stock the shelter with at least one copy." - Load write-up for "Necessary Pathetic". "..flexi features a different, earlier version of "My Time" than the "Necessary And Pathetic" LP version.

From the mesmerizing, pastoral drift of "Anger Sees Red" and "Dwelling by the Meadow" to agitated arabesques like "The Physical Body" and the self-titled "Dalhous," the resulting pieces explore dream-like but treacherous terrain.

Artist: DALTON, KAREN Title: 1966 Format: LP Label: Delmore Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "In 1966, Carl Baron brought his reel to reel over to her remote cabin in Summerville, Colorado and recorded one of those exquisite musical evenings. Karen and Richard Tucker were rehearsing for a gig when Carl hit the record button. The result is a 45-year-old tape, carefully exhumed, documenting Karen at her most raw and unfiltered. On it are Fred Neil and Tim Hardin songs weve never heard Karen give voice to before, as well as traditional songs she uncannily makes her own, including a devastating version of Katie Cruel, that is so powerful, it is as if the ghost of Katie Cruel seeped into her blood.

Artist: DAMENBART Title: Impressionen 71 Format: CD Label: Psychedelic Pig Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
|
"The world of Krautrock was forever changed in late 1987 when the master tapes for the mythical never-released album by the early 70s trio Damenbart were discovered in Spain by a former associate of the band. The incredible find was whispered about in elite collector circles for months and when the tapes were finally played back publically for the first time, it quickly became apparent that all of the legend and hype that surrounded these mysterious 1971 recordings had been completely justified. The tapes were soon handed to members of the German experimental group Hirsche Nicht Aufs Sofa to give the album a proper release and allow this music to finally see the light of day. The resulting LP was immediately hailed as a classic of Krautrock, with one excited reviewer calling it "the best album Ash Ra Tempel never made!" Unfortunately, as this LP was issued in only a very small edition, many Krautrock fans wound up bitterly empty-handed. Now, once and for all, this amazing album is being brought forward again for all of the hungry ears out there to fully digest. In addition to re-issuing the recordings contained on the LP, this CD appends an additional 19 minutes of previously unreleased studio material from the original sessions, as well as a live track from 1972. The packaging features several photos of the band along with some mind-blowing collage art, and this CD is destined to become an instant favorite amongst enthusiasts worldwide. Limited edition of 750 copies." - Psychedelic Pig.

Artist: DAMIEN DUBROVNIK Title: First Burning Attraction Format: LP Label: Alter Country: UK Price: $24.00 |
| "Formed in 2009, Damien Dubrovnik is the Danish electronic duo of Christian Stadsgaard (Sarahs Charity) and Loke Rahbek (Sexdrome, Var, Lust For Youth), founders of the Copenhagen-based record label Posh Isolation. In their day-job as label managers, Stadsgaard and Rahbek have been instrumental in establishing the citys prolific and exciting noise/punk community and outgrowing their humble beginnings in noise/industrial culture by attracting a cult/fanatical worldwide following. Working together as Damien Dubrovnik, they have published work across two LPs, a handful of sought-after cassette releases, compilations and notched up numerous performances throughout Europe and Scandinavia. Their third LP, First Burning Attraction, draws explicitly from DIY minimal synth traditions and the canon of European industrial music, resulting in the strongest manifestation of their sound so far. Consisting of six powerful and varied tracks, the album features more of the brooding synth parts and ominous bass throbs that dominated the highlights of previous LP Europa Dagbog -- Europa Diary, yet it feels tenser and more atmospheric due to the application of new acoustic-based sound sources, primitive bass pulses and more disciplined dynamics. Rahbeks vocals, which were previously guttural and wild, appear more restrained here, giving the tracks an alluring air of ambiguity and suggestiveness -- no undirected aggression, but something more thoughtful and introspective instead. Mastered by Viktor Olsson and cut by Grammy Greg at Masterpiece studios in London, 2013." -Alter. |

Artist: DAMMERATTACKE Title: Tausend Seen Format: LP Label: Cien Fuegos Country: Austria Price: $28.00 |
 "A psycho-motorik fit of epilepsy is probably the best synonym for "Dämmerattacke!," but this Austrian new wave band were not only set on attacking your bodily movements, they were also set on attacking your ears. Tausend Seen was originally released in a very small quantity in 1982, and is now -- after 30 years -- available again in a remastered edition. Punk rock is skillfully combined with new wave, and this album has the disturbing yet catching feeling of Joy Divisions Closer and it is still an amazing, stand-alone piece of music. Walter Leinwebers melancholic voice adds the perfect portion "anti-pop" to the mix. It all adds up to an extraordinary recording of Austrian underground music history, which has long been out-of-print and very sought-after in the international new/cold wave scene. The record was produced by Konrad Becker and remastered in 2012 by Amann Studios. Members include: Erich Allinger (keys); Michael Andersch (vocals); Thomas Guth (bass); Franz Heuschneider (bass, guitar); Walter Leinweber (guitar, vocals); Wolfgang Leinweber (drums)." -Cien Fuegos.

Artist: DANNY & THE PARKINS SISTERS Title: S/T Format: CD Label: Chapter Country: Australia Price: $16.00 |
| "Chapter Music is proud to resurrect from undeserved obscurity the scratchy beatnik art-punk stylings of early-80s San Francisco trio Danny & The Parkins Sisters. Surrounded by the classic SF punk sounds of the Dead Kennedys, Pink Section, Flipper and the like, Danny & the Parkins Sisters opted instead to head in a very different direction. Brash Arizona transplant Danny Vinik and chic, alluring sisters Debra and Beverly Parkins strummed on detuned guitars, banged on whatever was close at hand, and declaimed hilarious, incisive lyrics dissecting the scenes and tribes around them in visceral early-80s San Francisco. Their high-performance shows played out in legendary venues such as the Sound Of Music and Club Generic, with guests including Dead Kennedys drummer DH Peligro. In 1982, the band released an 8-song mini-album on the Modern Masters label, run by Richard Kelly of the cabaret collective Club Foot Orchestra. It included the all-time shoulda-beena classic, "War (Is On Your Doorstep)," a pounding, tribal punk-chant that sums up all the paranoia and posturing of the post-punk era. By 1983, the band were over, with Danny heading to South America and the Parkins sisters to New York, but their brief SF moment shone with a peculiar, musically naive but still knowing charm. Fans of angular post-punk luminaries like the Bush Tetras, The Raincoats or Y Pants will love this CD, which comes filled with bonus demo, live and rehearsal recordings." -Chapter |

Artist: DANSE SOCIETY Title: Demos Vol. 1 Format: LP Label: Dark Entries Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "Dark Entries digs deep into the UK Goth underground to unearth The Danse Society “Demos Vol. 1.” The band formed in Barnsley, England in 1980 from the remnants of local post-punk bands Y? and Lips-X. Between 1980 and 1982 the band released a handful of 7” and 12” EPs and the debut album “Seduction” on their own independent label, Society Records. The band also recorded several sessions for Radio 1, including a John Peel session, and topped the Independent Charts with the single “Somewhere.” Their commercial debut, “Heaven Is Waiting” was released in February 1984. They released two further singles and the album “Looking Through” before breaking up in 1986. After 24 years three original band members reunited to record the new album “Change of Skin,” released in July 2011. 1983 was The Danse Societys year. Playing sold out tours and the success of “Seduction” won them a recording contract with Arista Records. Spending their advance on new equipment the band recorded an albums worth of demos in one day at Greenhouse Studios, London in May 1983. The line-up for this session was Steve Rawlings (vocals), Paul Nash (guitar), Lyndon Scarfe (keyboards), Tim Wright (bass) and Paul Gilmartin (drums). Doom laden guitar riffs, swirling synthesizers, crushing drums, driving and disembodied vocals, characterize the distinctive Society sound. “Demos Vol. 1” is the closest youll get to The Danse Society live experience. You can almost taste the dry ice, feel the power coming through the monitors, and become entranced by the strobe-induced madness this album embodies. The Danse Society operate in a raw, atmospheric realm less campy than many of their Goth Rock peers, unconcerned with pop charts or commercial appeal. These arent songs, they are commands. This 11 track collection includes an early version of the single “Wake Up,” 5 demos that would make the cut for “Heaven Is Waiting,”3 songs that would later become B-sides and 2 unreleased instrumentals. All songs have been remastered from the original tapes for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. Each LP includes a fold-out, double-sided newsprint poster with photos, lyrics and liner notes by original drummer Paul Gilmartin and music journalist Mick Mercer. 28 years later these demos capture a band at the height of their confident, powerful and haunting glory." -Dark Entries. |

Artist: DARA PUSPITA Title: Dara Puspita 1966-1968 Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
|
"Dara Puspita (trans. "Flower Girls") was arguably the worlds greatest all-female garage rock band. The reason youve probably never heard of them was that they came from Indonesia where they were extremely popular during the 1960s. Their career spanned from 1965 until 1973 including 3 years (1969-1971) living and touring in Europe. The four albums recorded by the original members between 1966 and 1968 (the material represented on this CD) is one of the great chapters of 1960s popular music history never to be reissued, let alone recognized beyond a few tuned-in souls and adventurous record collectors in the Western world. Twenty-six of their most spectacular tracks (from the albums Jang Pertama, Special Edition, Green Green Grass, and A-Go-Go) are now finally available to hear in this essential release. Dara Puspita formed in their hometown of Surabaya in 1964. After relocating to Jakarta, the group began to create quite a stir with their wild stage shows. Their local performances were attended by teenagers grooving to the bands raw garage rock sound. The first all-female Indonesian pop group that could play their instruments and sing, Dara Puspita also attracted the attention of Indonesian president Sukarno who labeled Western rock music "a form of mental disease." In 1965 (an eventful and critical year for the group), the girls endured a month-long interrogation by the government for performing "outlawed" rock and roll music, became the house band in a Bangkok nightclub for three months, and were introduced to Dick Tamimi of Mesra records, the man who would launch their recording career. The tracks featured on this compilation were recorded at the height of Dara Puspitas popularity during the immediate post-Communist era of General Suhartos new order; a time when Indonesias musicians and artists were finally capable of launching their own creative renaissance. This collection is guaranteed to appeal to all fans of the beat a-go-go era of the mid-late 1960s and is a significant missing piece of the global pop music history puzzle. Every single track is a classic, the sound quality is superb, and it should only take one listen to become completely addicted to and charmed by this legendary Indonesian group. Tri-fold digipack CD with 20-page booklet featuring rare & unseen photos provided by Dara Puspita for this specific reissue project and extensive liner notes of the bands phenomenal history by Alan Bishop." -Sublime Frequencies

| "New 2011 edition of this cornerstone sound art collection, originally published in 1987 on LP by Igloo. "In most ethnic cultures, sacred places serve an important social function. The qualities, typical of these places, explain to western people the magic magnetism of these "holy grounds". During our international Logos Duo concert tours we have had the opportunity to visit quite a few of these places. Uluru, the "Shadowgiving Mountain" of the Aborigines, better known under its western name of Ayers Rock (Australia), impressed us more than any other. The presence of water and an enormous monolith in the midst of the vast desert plain is given as an explanation for its magical appeal. But to the Aborigines, each little place of the rock contains tracks of their ancestors, the "Dreamtime People", who live in this mountain and speak to them in the sounds of the winds howling through the crevasses and rockholes. Uluru is also the dwelling-place of the "World Serpent", the most powerful totem shared by the surrounding tribes. Sounds of Sacred Places attempts to transform the listener into a living witness of the sounds of similar places, not far away in any specific ethnic culture, but in Flanders". (Moniek Darge, 1987). Sounds of Sacred Places arrives in a high gloss 4-panel digipak with accompanying 16 page booklet of photos and notes.

Artist: DARK DARK DARK Title: Love You, Bye Format: 12" Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Dark Dark Dark is a four-piece, baroque-gypsy band (originally based out of Minneapolis) who have in recent months called New York City, France, New Orleans, and a raft on the river "home." They are led by Marshall LaCount on banjo and Nona Marie Invie on accordion, and are backed by Todd Chandler on upright bass and Jonathan Kaiser on cello. All four members sing. Their haunting, dreamy and dark Eastern European-inflected music is informed by influences drawing from the cabaret and folk traditions. The five songs presented here (four originals plus an enchanting "Wayfaring Stranger") reveal the intimate sound of Dark Dark Dark at home, each with its own take on loss and loneliness. The group draws heavily from, in their own words, the "long tradition of wandering musicians and those who have lived deeply." Printed jackets are derived from photos of one of 32 branded, white leather covers designed by installation artist and sculptor Jay Heikes." -Neros Neptune |

Artist: DARK DAY Title: Exterminating Angel Format: LP Label: Dark Entries Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Dark Entries is working in reverse order to re-issue Dark Day’s first album “Exterminating Angel” originally released in 1980 onLust/Unlust. Dark Day is the minimal electronics brainchild of Robin Crutchfield following his separation with no wave band DNA. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, Crutchfield was fascinated with both performance art and the most esoteric edges of pop music. After making his escape to New York City in the mid-seventies, he was inspired by Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band and Lydia Lunch’s Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. He made the transition into the new music of downtown Manhattan and formed the “no wave” band DNAwith Arto Lindsay and Ikue Mori in 1977. In 1979 Crutchfield left DNA to pursue a series of musical projects under the name Dark Day. His first album, “Exterminating Angel” is named after the Luis Bunuel film of the same name. On this album the band is Robin on synthesizers and vocals, Phil Kline on guitar/bass, Barry Friar on drums and guest Steven Brown of Tuxedomoon on saxophone. All 13 songs on “Exterminating Angel” use cheap synthesizers to create cyclical, machine-like keyboard riffs as a foundation for the moody, Teutonic music. Crutchfield sings like a lost member of Kraftwerk with a dry detachment creating a starker and chillier atmosphere. Lyrics were derived from cut-up methods similar to those used by the surrealists, fluxus artists, and William Burroughs and Bryon Gysin and pit the subjected against their torments and tormentors. All songs on “Exterminating Angel” were originally recorded at Sorcerer Sound, NYC. 1979 and produced by Charles Ball. This re-issue has been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. Each LP includes a two-sided fold out poster containing lyrics, photos and lyrical explanations by Robin Crutchfield. Dark Day continue to inspire the current wave of stark, eerie, processional synthesizer music more than 30 years later." -Dark Entries. |

Artist: DARROW MOSLEY BAND, THE Title: Desert Rain Format: 10" Label: Shagrat Country: UK Price: $24.00 |
|
"Shagrat Records is delighted to announce the release of a 3-track 10" EP by the short-lived Darrow Mosley Band, cut in 1973. The band was a vehicle for the prodigious talents of Bob Mosley (lead vocals, bass guitar) and Chris Darrow (lead vocals, guitar) -- Mosley had been an integral member of Moby Grape, one of the greatest California bands of the late 60s. Darrow had been a founding member of Kaleidoscope, the hugely talented Clairemont-based quintet that subsequently has been recognised as one of the first rock groups to play world music. In 1973 both Chris and Bob decided they wanted to be in a band again and their mutual manager Michael OConnor suggested they form a group together - drawing on the energy and style of vintage Stones and Faces and adding more than a dash of the prevalent SoCal country rock scene to the mix, Bob and Chris were joined by lead guitarist Frank Reckard (subsequently in Emmy Lou Harriss Band for 14 years), keyboard player Lroen Newkirk and drummer Johnny Craviott (Ry Cooder, Arlo Guthrie, Buffy St Marie) -- they cut 3 songs to try and get Warner Bros interested -- sadly Warners passed on the demos and they have remained unheard till now -- the A-side is a rocker featuring Darrow on lead vocals and was originally recorded on his eponymous second album done for UA. The flipside has Bob Mosley as lead vocalist -- a treat for all those who already know what a masterful singer this Norse god can be - first up is a soulful, smouldering version of the Temptations I Wish It Would Rain that also boasts some dexterous picking from Reckard. The EP closes with a new version of Bobs exquisite Beautiful Day originally done for the Grapes 69 record. The band split soon after but these recordings are an integral link in the chain that binds Moby Grape with Fine Wine and the Ducks (Neil Youngs legendary summer of 77 Santa Cruz bar band). Packaged in a beautifully mind-blowing sleeve by legendary British psychedelic designer John Hurford (IT, OZ, Dandelion Records etc) and featuring sleeve notes by Chris Darrow, this EP is an absolute must for fans of Kaleidoscope and Moby Grape everywhere. Strictly limited edition of 499 copies." - Shagrat.

Artist: DARROW, CHRIS Title: Artist Proof Format: LP + CD Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "LP version with debossed jacket and printed innersleeve. Includes a CD of the full album, plus five bonus tracks. Already a veteran of several bands and scenes on the L.A. landscape, Chris was a founding member of the west coast Kaleidoscope. He went his own way after the recording of their second album, A Beacon from Mars, to pursue music on his own terms. Artist Proof, Chriss solo debut, is a rich and powerful dose of California country rock, written almost entirely by Chris and played with grit and precision by a cast of great players (whose resumes are too lengthy to include here, but pretty much all of them began with this record -- Chris had an ear for good young talent!) including Ed Black, Loren Newkirk, Arnie Moore, Mickey McGee, and John Ware. The turn of the west-coast rock scene toward country music was something no one man could create on his own -- Chris himself has been quoted as saying that the country-rock sound was created by bands, not individuals. This seems right; a coming together of young people testing out their formative influences in the light of a new day, creating something different in the process. The fresh feeling of Artist Proof is an evidence of this -- proof positive, in fact! Back in print for the first time in 40 years and finally ushered into the digital realm.. CD includes five bonus tracks." -Drag City. |

Das Ding is Danny Bosten, who was active in the early 1980s releasing his music and friends music via his own cassette label called Tear Apart Tapes. While studying graphic design in art school, he designed all the tape covers himself. Meanwhile, he recorded his own music as Das Ding. Powerful dark electro, some tracks are quite addictive and danceable while others are more for at home listening enjoyment. The dancefloor killer is somewhere between Reassurance Ritual and H.S.T.A. The record features lovingly remastered tracks, is pressed on 180 gram vinyl and comes in a printed innersleeve featuring artwork by Danny Bosten, and heavyweight outer jacket with photographs by Dima Belush.

"Words are more often then not the point of departure for many works of Das Synthetische Mischegewebe. The track titles here stem from El Mundo Alucinante de Reinaldo Arenas, which itself is inspired by François-René de Chateaubriands Mémoires doutre-tombe. It is about time rather than history and about being in history. Having lost the war of time, the only thing that remains to do is being, and here we go, being infiniment exigent in its means of expression. DSM began in Berlin armed with a visual education from the early 80s. They quickly became part of the international industrial cassette scene. Composing for light installations with open-reel machines, cassette recorders, microphone and guitar fuzz boxes with both loud, quiet, occasionally full blast and frequently sneaking in little sounds, all alternating within a few seconds, create an electroacoustic anti-music. With unusual concerts in the underground network as well as in high art institutions and museums (such as Centre Pompidou) and later on with performances for mixed media installation, exhibitions and conferences on cognitive science and neurologic research related topics, the group toured with changing casts since the early 80s, and participated in international festivals throughout Europe and the US. Since 1982 they continue to produce vinyls, CDs and tapes on many international labels: Discos Esplendor Geometrico, RRRecords, Hypnagogia, Vinyl-on-Demand, Auf Abwegen, Harsh Reality Music, Equation Records, Das Cassetten Combinat and many others. Live and recording collaborations with musicians such as: The New Blockaders, Ralf Wehowsky, Frans de Waard, Ios Smolders, Zeitkratzer Ensemble, Artificial Memory Trace, ERG, MSBR, Toy Bizarre, Roel Meelkop and others. The LP is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, 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." -Pan.

Artist: DASKEN, PAUL Title: Speckled Ax Format: LP Label: Paul Dasken Country: USA Price: $30.00 |
|
"(Speckled Ax) was finally shrinkwrapped and ready to go in 1988. I placed a few copies with indie distributors but the market took a pass. Im leery of manifestos--I think things should speak for themselves. Plus the thing was made so many years ago that Im a bit foggy about it all. Its fair to say that the record is a study of contrasts, and the result of diverging ideas about what music should be--this is to say that the ideas were more entwined in earlier projects, which sounded nothing whatsoever like anything on the record (starting with PUS, my first band (1978), whose instrumentation consisted of power tools). The piano pieces were an attempt to reconnect with humanity in the course of some years spent chasing wild geese across two continents (the record cover is a kind of document of this time). The earlier of the two piano pieces (Busy Day) had a more architechtural conception behind it while the other one was conceived more in terms of an accommodation to silence. For what thats worth. I dont know anything about writing music, I just feel my way along. The versions of Wichita Lineman (one of my favorite songs) can be put down to "frustration with the music business" in the broadest possible sense. Any further reference is left to the eye (ear?) of the beholder." - Paul Dasken.
"Each side consists of two elements: a plaintive piano recording and a reinterpretation of Jimmy Webbs Wichita Lineman as protest music. Dasken is a conceptualist first and a musician second; each performance is site-specific and unabashedly amateur. His piano pieces will resonate with anyone who ever sat down at a piano without a lick of training but the will to peck out a pattern of notes that almost resembles a composition, if only to the player. That is to say they are intimate, singular, �??real piano,�?� and beautiful.
The first Lineman finds Dasken taking on a manic street preacher, singing the song to a beat tapped out on a coke bottle, an abstract form of heckling that weirdly puts bogus fundamentalism in its proper, ridiculous place. The second take finds him at a 1988 campaign rally for Bush the Elder, where the wild applause that follows each of the candidates proclamations and an efficient team of secret service agents renders Daskens protest little more than a barely-noticed exercise in futility.
Speckled Ax has gained formidable resonance with the passage of time. Its a key piece of loner Americana on wax, as personal and unique as records come. In the wake of 9/11, the fears and upset of the Eighties seem almost quaint, but Daskens voice in the wilderness burns brighter than ever as a fire to warm oneself by in this very long winter in America."

Artist: DATE PALMS Title: Honey Devash Format: LP Label: Mexican Summer Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Based in Oakland, California, Gregg Kowalsky and Marielle Jakobsons share internationally spanning solo careers as creative practitioners with a solid foundation in drone music composition and performance. However, it is a mutual love for analogue electric sound sources and tape multitracking that has resulted in their psychedelic, trance-inducing collaboration as Date Palms. Honey Devash, Date Palms first release on Mexican Summer, is testament to their captivating skill for layering and balancing timbres into long-form, immersive slow burners. Astonishingly evocative of desert heat, summer nights, dry sandscapes of fuzz bass, fender rhodes, synth, violin, tanpura and feedback shift gradually like dunes in hot winds, as wavering mirages in the distance are picked out through slow melodies on keyboards, piano and flutes. Two tracks of incredibly slow-panning consideration, Honey Devash feels like a hazy meditation on survival; a prolonged buzz of tension and uncertainty melding with simple acceptance as the sun, unrelenting, beats ever down…" - Mexican Summer. |

Artist: DATE PALMS Title: Of Psalms Format: LP Label: Root Strata Country: USA Price: $18.00 |

"Music for the rain forests of the moon, straight out of Oakland CA. Of Psalms is the debut album by Date Palms, the duo of Marielle Jackobsons and Gregg Kowalsky. The two have birthed a suite of slowed-down music of the spheres, with a canopy of glowing fog and a heavy narcotic bass pulse that keeps the whole thing rooted straight into the earth. Its a heady mix of alap paced violin phrases, jewel-toned keys, harp swells, distorted tapes and ever present bass waves all crafted with precision detail in a humid space that leaves a dreamy imprint in the mind long after waking. Although separately Jackobsons and Kowalsky have made inroads into these types of landscapes before (Gregg with his Tape Chants series and Marielle with MYRMYR & Darwinsbitch), nothing really compares the world of Of Psalms that the two created together with its perfect balance of micro and macro, inner and outer, cosmic and earth bound, casting some sort of old world magic on everyone within range." -Root Strata

Artist: DAVENPORT Title: Rabbits Food Propeller Format: CD Label: 3Lobed Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "The extended Davenport family has been producing their unique flavor of free-form and exultant improvisational folk since 2001. Operating out of Madison, Wisconsin, their music has taken on an open joviality that reflects the spirit of their hometown and the natural world that resides just outside its borders. Respectful and observant of all things natural, Davenport has focused on their organic sound over a long string of CDR and cassette releases for a number of different labels. Rabbits Foot Propeller is simultaneously a natural extension of their prior work and a confident step into a new and different direction. Taken as a whole or as its component tracks, the album is a solid continuation of the Davenport aim to bring light into all dark corners. Rabbits Foot Propeller is all about the juxtaposition of varying sounds and musical textures against one another. Over the course of the albums thirteen tracks the listener is presented with numerous playful improvisations, tones generated from various instruments and lilting melodies (both guitar and vocal). Unconventionally captured to tape by the band through the use of a handheld recording device lacking an erase head, the recordings allowed for an infinite amount of overdubs confined only by the fact that it was impossible to simultaneously monitor all of the previously recorded progress. This technique allowed for a high degree of experimentation with results that range from pensive and calm to miniature folk masterpieces. Three Lobed Recordings proudly presents Rabbits Food Propeller, Davenports first full-length CD, and invites you to join the band on a free and celebratory journey into a truly natural consciousness." - 3Lobed. |

Artist: DAYS Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $46.00 |
| "From Denmark 1970; LP in edition of 450 numbered copies, glossy heavy sleeve, 180 gram pressing, insert. The Danish group Days was formed in Copenhagen in the winter 1967/68 by Peter Lindhe (drums), John Kjaergaard (vocals/rhythm guitar), Ole Fester (vocals/bass) and Lars Reinau (vocals/lead guitar). The bands repertoire was mainly rock and blues oriented with cover versions of songs from John Mayalls Bluesbreakers, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones. During 1968/69 Peter Lindhe and Lars Reinau started writing original material to the band and the repertoire started changing from rock/blues cover versions to self composed more lyrical songs with elements of the Beatles, Procol Harum and (early) Deep Purple. In 1969 Jørn Anker (Hammond organ) joined the band and he too started contributing new original songs to the band. The Days LP was recorded in the early summer of 1970 and in 1971 the band split up. Days is one the the rarest albums from Denmark which also came out on Spectator (Blues Addicts, Terje Jesper & Joachim, Moses). It is full of amazing prog tunes with great organ elements and strong fuzz guitar. A killer album from beginning to end."- Shadoks. |

Artist: DDAA Title: Action and Japanese Demonstration Format: CD Label: Fractal Country: France Price: $27.00 |
|
"There were bands like Can in Germany, Nurse With Wound in UK, The Residents in USA, and there were Deficit Des Annees Anterieures in France. Formed in 1979 by 3 artists from the Beaux-Arts of Caen: Jean-Luc André, Sylvie Martineau-Fée, Jean-Philippe Fée; DDAA was one of the leaders of the independent, experimental, industrial 80s French scene with their highly artistic, peculiar and thoughtful vision, which is brilliantly illustrated by their own label Illusion Production (more than 40 references published). This undoubtedly makes DDAA one of the most outstanding bands of the French underground over the last thirty years! Behind this radical and utopian group are three self-taught musicians of high creativity with a surprising and rich discography, around thirty titles released under all formats: vinyl LP, singles, 10", tapes, CDs and many compilations (some deleted titles are still very collectable today). From a post-punk/avant-garde/surrealistic music made by improvisations and collages, DDAA created an odd and captivating world, somehow naive but truly emotional. Eternal travellers from the imaginary (into space and time), after they ventured in Africa (1980), in the Maracayace land (2000), in the Russia of the Tsars from the 19th century (Les Ambulants 1984) or even with the French poets from the 16th century (Ronsard 1988), DDAA went to Japan with Action and Japanese Demonstration in 1982. And they will be well inspired by the land of the rising sun, so its no surprise to see them, the next year, on the Paris-Tokyo compilation and also in the Pascal Comelade album Detail Monochrome (1984) on the track Pluie Japonaise. First full-length vinyl album (Illusion Production -- IP010) and a cornerstone in their history, Action and Japanese Demonstration is considered by many fans as one of the best DDAA works to date. A fascinating album! Ten actions and poetic demonstrations like Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e), refined and entrancing atmospheres, drawn and played by the 3 dadaïsts with synths, vocals, chorus, crazy guitars, percussions, rhythms box, flutes and noises and Bernard C and Marcel Kanche on sax. For a long time unavailable, this album is finally reissued on CD for the first time with 2 unreleased tracks from the same recording session plus 20 minutes bonus Musique et Bruits du Bas Pa-Tât, a collection of 7 rare tracks from 1985 originally released on tape for the very limited Jean-Luc Andrés comic strip titled Mutants du Kwantung. This is a dark ethnic report which brings you in the primitive southern China before Jesus Christ. This CD reissue is an exact reproduction of the vinyl LP, and is packaged like the original in an heavy card sleeve hand fold plus a 16 page color booklet with all inserts, texts and unreleased pictures (DDAA live in 1979!). Remixed and remastered from the master tapes, this gem is now available again after more than 25 years. Action and Japanese Demonstration is a pure delight, a kind of improbable meeting between the famous artist Joseph Beuys and the master of the ceremony Sen No Rikyu. Splendid!" - Fractal.

Artist: DE CYLINDERS Title: I Wanna Get Married/Looking For Work Format: 7" Label: Sing Sing Country: USA Price: $6.50 |

They recorded this 45, their first of three for the CNR label, in 1979 at Soundpush studios, Blaricum with Dennis Kloeth acting as producer. The playing on the 45s is tight, the production is spot on and the songs are extremely well crafted. The anthemic “I Wanna Get Married” did not permeate deeply into the personal life of the band members; as of today not more than two Cylinders are wearing a wedding ring. The back side, “Looking for work” was more prophetic: all six Cylinders are nowadays firmly employed, though five of them no longer in the music business." - Sing Sing. |

| "“We must pay”, an intoxicating musical mix of fun, frenzy and finances, was De Cylinders second single for CNR. Remarkably, the song was recorded in a single take during the same sessions that spawned the first single. As such, the sound of “We must pay” comes very close to what De Cylinders delivered as a live band. Propelled by a haunting Farfisa organ, “We must pay” is 24 karat power pop. The medium-tempo flipside “Chart buster” is no stinker either. Fact: Today, nearly 30 years later, CNR is home to André Rieu, king of the Wiener Waltz, a definite non-power pop megastar from the Netherlands." - Sing Sing. |

"i was blown away when i got acces to the extremely big archive of this belgian analog synth king, a ton of reel tapes were left behind, a bunch of them not mentioning any information, a bunch of them mentioning a vague date.
EDMOND DE DEYSTER was a rather shy nihilist, who didnt even tell his own family he was making music untill the late eighties. he never released anything because he thought noone was intrested in his psychadelic synth sounds. he would describe his own music as unlistenable, annoying and a waste of time. sadly he died in 1999 of a drug overdose, the last 6 years of his life he didnt record any music anymore.
this is a first selection of his archive, taken from 2 reel tapes mentioning 1975, no other info, i hope its the earliest recordings he did, but i am not sure, as its possible that the reels that dont mention anything were recorded at an earlier state..
his early stuff is comparable to the more symphonic sounding synthesizer waves and tones of for example CONRAD SCHNITZLER! beautyful dark synth explosives, blurry and squirky layered sounds, i wish this was realy an endless record!

EDMOND DE DEYSTER left an incredible amount of reel tapes behind full of beautiful analog synthesizer music. his family was kind enough to share this archive with us. it took me way longer to get this second instalment together, partly because i wanted to interview his relatives and other people who knew him during the years these tapes were made. frankly time flies by too quick and i decided to first release this second lp and do the interview for the third release in this series.
this second lp got selected from 2 reel tapes that were in the same box as the ones from the first lp. one of them mentions the same info as those first ones, "1975", the fourth tape didnt mention any information.
im not entirely sure if these recordings were made in the same period, though they sound more like the previous stuff then like the upcoming releases; incredibly sad and lonely synth tunes!
comes in a duo coloured cover with photos of edmond de deyster and a insert with liner notes and another picture. limited to 500 copies." - Ultra Eczema

Artist: DE DIONYSO, ARRINGTON Title: Abraxasaxophonic Smooth Jazz Vagina Format: LP Label: Gilgongo Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "ARRINGTON DE DIONYSO (OLD TIME RELIJUN and MALAIKAT DAN SINGA) offers a solid 20 minutes of abrasive and bizarre free form saxophone work over the distorted reception of a smooth jazz radio station. Confusing yet strangely honest feeling. The first half of the flip side features several short pieces recorded in the same era (some sounding like fragments of Old Time Relijun pieces, some more in-line with Arringtons solo work), with the second half pulled from his masterpiece, "Slow Dancin Under the Moon Tonight," about which he said: "...was recorded sometime in 2010 using Songsmith software. It is one of the most unlistenable and abrasively grating albums ever made by Arrington de Dionyso. Enjoy!" -Gilgongo. |

Artist: DE FRONTANEL Title: Grotesque Format: 10 Label: Treue Um Treue Country: France Price: $26.00 |
| "Charles de Frontanel (known as the boss of GRAHN GEEN-YOL Records, the 70s electro label which recently resumed his activities in collaboration with Invasion Planete) is back with a new masterpiece of electronic weirdness. Haunted by a troop of circus freaks whose physical difformity reflects the absurdity of our world, "Grotesque" is a dark moral tale, a sweet & sour fantasy which subtly combines vintage electro sounds, acoustic instruments and third wave beats into nine minimal pieces of both picturesque and chilling quality. Something weird and a taste of blood from the French wizard of gore. 10", black vinyl in special gatefold sleeve + 6 inserts. limited edition of 275 hand-numbered copies." - Treue Um Treue. |

Artist: DE GENNARO, MATTHEW Title: Adversaria Format: LP Label: TU-134 Country: Germany Price: $22.00 |
| "Some people fly under the radar by accident, some by design. Matt De Gennaros been making music since the 90s, and has collaborated with the likes Alastair Galbraith and Scott Tuma, but he makes even those homebodies look like gauche self-promoters. Which is both a shame and entirely a propos, because while this lovely record, like everything else Ive heard him do, is well worth hearing, it probably wouldnt sound like it did if it was made by a guy with a more boosterish frame of mind. De Gennaro lives in a 150 year-old, one-room schoolhouse in Michigan, where he studies ancient philosophy for fun and records music that defies easy dating to decade or century. Streichzither and Sweetbreads, for example, are played on a viola da gamba, and each sounds like it could have been a hit before Shakespeare was born. Each bowed note rings out with a resonance that could doubtless be explained by tuning nerds, but who wants explanations when the music takes you back to a time when nothing smelled like gasoline? An acoustic guitar instrumental called Jimmie Rodgers in Sierra Leone uses backwards tape and frontwards harmonica to point in at least two directions not suggested by the title; follow its pointing vectors and youll be so dizzy, youll hug a tree for balance. Flying Saucer Attack might have raised the flag for rural psychedelia in England, but it flies in Michigan now. But the one that really gets me is I Hear You J. Starck, on which some wheezy keyboard (A clavioline? Harmonium?) on a slowed-down tape sounds a funeral hymn straight out of the Scottish highlands; a crackle in the background suggests that the pier has already been lit. 350 copies." - Bill Meyer. |

Artist: DE KIFT Title: De Kift Format: 7" Label: Mississippi Country: USA Price: $6.00 |
| "Spunky 1988 release. A fairly unknown predecessor to their debut LP Yverzucht. Impossible to find and never reissued. Three songs of driving rhythms and volatile speech. Another testament to the uniquely prolific 80s Dutch punk scene." Awesome tri-fold, heavy cardstock sleeve with Dutch/English lyrics. -Mississippi |
|
Artist: DE KIFT Title: Yverzucht Format: LP Label: Mississippi Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "De Kift emerged from a Dutch squatters movement and the punk waves of the late 70s and early 80s. Their debut vinyl LP Yverzucht was released in 1989. Ferry: guitar & brass (Svatsox); Wim: drums (Rondos, the Ex); Jacco (GRRR): bass; Maarten: vocals (Pistache B.V.). De Kift were a tremendous and original force at the time. Sparse, rhythmic, angular, yet energetic music. Staccato punk with fanfare elements. Maartens lyrics were recited, spat out and crooned, bleak reflective explorations of the Dutch mental state of the times. Maarten (as well as Jacco) departed the band after debuting Yverzucht. Out of the ashes, emerged a new conceptual, literary De Kift that would play on for 20 years. De Kift were part of the squatter movement. Playing benefits, raising funds, eyebrows and soundtracking a lifestyle on its last legs." Includes insert with Dutch/English lyrics. -Mississippi |

Artist: DE MARIA, WALTER Title: Drums And Nature Format: CD Label: De Maria, Walter Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
|
"..In 1957, (De Maria) graduated from the University of California at Berkeley, where he earned his M.F.A. in painting two years later. De Maria and his friend, the avant-garde composer La Monte Young, participated in Happenings and theatrical productions (including very early Fluxus events) in the San Francisco area.
In 1960, De Maria moved to New York; here he wrote essays on art, which were published in 1963 in Youngs "An Anthology", and took part in Happenings and multimedia presentations. In 1961, he made his first wooden box sculptures. De Maria and Robert Whitman opened the Great Jones Street gallery in New York in 1963; the same year, De Marias first solo show of sculpture was presented there. This year, he worked as a drummer for the rock group The Velvet Underground. He continued to work in wood, began his "invisible drawings," and composed music. With the support of collector Robert C. Scull, De Maria started making pieces in metal in 1965.
De Maria emerged as a leader of the Earthworks movement in 1968 when he filled the Galerie Heiner Friedrich in Munich with dirt. This year, he also made his The Mile Long Drawing in the Desert in the Mojave Desert for Walls in the Desert, a project, originally conceived in 1962, which is to consist of two parallel mile-long walls. In 1968, he also participated in Documenta in Kassel. A major exhibition of De Marias sculpture was held at the Kunstmuseum Basel in 1972. Earthworks and serial geometric sculpture continue to occupy De Maria in the 1970s: his Three Continent Project was completed in 1972 and the Lightning Field in New Mexico was finished in 1977. That same year, De Maria recreated his Earth Room at the Heiner Friedrich Gallery in New York. The artist lives in New York." -Guggenheim. Self released CD (with almost no distribution) featuring De Marias tribal drumming mixed with field recordings (as the title implies). The two pieces, Cricket Music and Ocean Music, were originally recorded in 1964 and 1968 (evidently with some help from Tony Conrad). Restocked yet again... Very highly recommended! |

Artist: DE SYDFYNSKE ALPEDRENGE Title: Solskinsliv Format: LP Label: Orpheus Country: Demark Price: $25.00 |
| "Unissued tapes of acoustic folkpsych from start 70s hippie environment. Moody acid-music with violin, flute, piano, congas, vibraphone, acoustic bass, guitars and drums creating a flowing and dreamy feel. Inspired by Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Ritchie Havens but with a far more experimental side to it. Transgressing jazz and artrock and incorporating Blues and poetry the band shows a broad variety in their selfpenned songs and generel musical approach. Recorded live at a castle in Odense at various sessions between 1972 and 1975. All songs written by Kjeld Andersen, a prime specimen of the Danish singer/songwriter sadly overlooked in his time. De Sydfynske Alpedrenge came out the youthclub "Cirklen" in Odense and was an important part of the underground scene there." - Orpheus. |

She has collaborated with artists Joan Jonas, Charlie Ahearn, Glenn Branca, Maryanne Amacher, Rudolf Grey, and Kiki Smith. With Branca she was a founding member of the legendary NYC no-wave group Theoretical Girls." - EP. "This composition developed as a music-centered response to my personal work with liminal states of consciousness that arose in a non-art context generally characterized as healing. Based on casual recordings of my own voice that I made during actual sessions, my soundtrack focuses on sequences of highly stimulated vocalization (excited, ecstatic, etc.), particularly those that seem to embody a unique and intense experience of knowing, something like a direct encounter with vitality. The effects: sound, vision and emotion in the rawest possible state. Truth shot through me like a whistle." - Margaret De Wys. |

Artist: DEACON, DAN Title: Acorn Master Format: CD EP Label: Psych-o-Path Country: USA Price: $8.00 |

"Dan Deacon, an electro-acoustic composer/performer living in Baltimore, is part of the Wham City art collective. The compositional style that best describes Dan Deacons music is Future Shock, a new genre being used to describe a number of the bands emerging from Baltimores growing underground music scene. Musically influenced by Devo, Talking Heads, Scratch Orchestra, People Like Us, Raymond Scott and Conlon Nancarrow, Dans music strives to take contemporary experimental composition and electronic music out of the circle of the esoteric intellectual gangs and hipster communities, placing it into the more informal "fun time." His high-energy performances consist of song-structured material performed with Casio keyboard, computer, vocoder and other devices to process his voice, signal generator, etc.
Since May of 2004 Dan has been touring almost nonstop throughout the United States. He has performed with Lightning Bolt, Adult., Cat Power, Matmos, Tracy & the Plastics, Video Hippos, Japanther, MF Doom, The Unicorns, Smog, USAisaMONSTER, Arab On Radar, Rainer Maria, Daniel Carter, The Microphones, Lesbians On Ecstasy, Dead Meadow, Kool Keith, OCDJ, Ghengis Tron, Calvin Johnston, Danielson Family, GZA, Bonny Prince Billy, Diplo, Sightings, People Like Us, Blue Oyster Cult, Rasputina, Wolf Eyes, and many others.

Artist: DEAD C Title: Clyma Est Mort/Tentative Power Format: Double LP Label: Ba Da Bing Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Following the 2008 release of a pair of double-LPs, Ba Da Bing and Jagjaguwar continue their DEAD C reissue project with two new records. Relegated to expensive fodder for eBay bidders until now, Clyma Est Mort can be considered The Dead Cs "Ed Sullivan moment," except it wasnt performed live on network TV-it was recorded in a practice room in Port Chalmers, NZ, in 1992 with the inestimable TOM LAX of Siltbreeze as the sole member of the audience. Since the goal was to make a "fake bootleg" album for release on the mythical Proletariat Idiots Productions label-and in honor of the 13th Floor Elevators-the band dubbed in fake audience noise from a gig by the Renderers. Despite the deliberate incompetence with which this was accomplished, Clyma is often touted as a "live album." This is only true in the sense that the band members were alive when they made it. This double-LP reissue includes Tentative Power, a collection of non-album tracks many consider among the bands best moments. LP stickered with description." -Ba Da Bing |

Artist: DEAD C Title: DR503 + Sun Stabbed EP Format: Double LP Label: Ba Da Bing Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
|
"The first in a series of DEAD C reissue collaborations between Jagjaguwar and Ba Da Bing, DR503 has been pressed on vinyl for the first time in years, along with the Sun Stabbed EP as a bonus record. Originally released in 1987 (and not to be confused with the releases DR503b or DR503c, which are completely different recordings), DR503 sounded like nothing that came before--a furious pastiche of unrelenting drones, noise and menace. It didnt fit in with the other bands New Zealands venerable Flying Nun was releasing, and it immediately staked a fork in the road, dividing the "New Zealand Pop Sound" from its black sheep brother, "New Zealand Noise." Today, the record still sounds as vicious and vital as when it first went to vinyl, except now perhaps there will be more people ready to appreciate the innovative approach the band took some 21 years ago. This reissue also contains a bonus record of the rare Sun Stabbed EP from the same recording period. With bonus tracks not on the original 7-inch, the recordings from the Sun Stabbed sessions are being released for the first time in their entirety. Release coincides with new album, Secret Earth. Packaged in beautiful gatefold Stoughton jackets." -Ba Da Bing!

Artist: DEAD C Title: Harsh 70s Reality Format: Double LP Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Originally seeing the light of day in April of 1992, Harsh 70s Reality was not just a high water mark for that year, but for the ages. Technically this was the bands fourth long-play outing, and as a double-album, it followed (and was ever so slightly informed by) two formidable juggernauts that preceeded it: Twin Infinitives and Lake. But it was Harsh 70s Reality that left the decade stronger and more resonant than it came in. People say that rock music died with the passing of Kurt Cobain. But THE DEAD C slaughtered it in its sleep with this tremendous set of grinding thud. It is in every sense the ultimate post-rock album. To hear it is to understand why one scribe back in the day referred to their sound as "a garbage truck backing over the abyss." A legendary release from a legendary band on a legendary label. 20th anniversary edition of 1,000, this time with proper gatefold sleeve. Restored to the full length of the original vinyl release (no omitted tracks as on the CD). Fully remastered for optimal volume levels on all tracks-no editing, compression, equalization or normalization; just removal of random, transient, high-level clicks. Includes digital download card." -Siltbreeze. |

Artist: DEAD C Title: Max Harris Format: LP Label: Ba Da Bing Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Max Harris captures the first recordings THE DEAD C ever made, back in January 1987. Each side displays a different and uniquely raw version of "Max Harris"-reinterpreted both times by a group who can truly say they have never played the same song in any form the same way twice. Anyone who doesnt own one of the original 21 cassette tapes made of these recordings will be hearing them together for the first time. Yes, theyve never been on vinyl before, so maybe one can even say this is the tracks first "real" release. You will be able to feel the slicing tension and drive right through your bones.

Repressed. "Recorded during the period September 1999 - October 2000 and mixed in early 2001, this represents the twentieth long player release by The Dead C. Stepping further out into the universe of the song, they have again crafted an antidote for the very idea of rock music. Unlike their double cd from 2000, this release does include vocals, and certain pieces were even showcased at their All Tomorrows Parties show in Los Angeles in March of this year. Stripped and minimal, the sound could easily be referred to as their pre-California period. Morley, Russell and Yeats are currently working on their next release which sets to further extend their investigations into lazy." - Language Recordings.

Artist: DEAD C Title: Patience Format: CD Label: Ba Da Bing Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Patience is both appropriate and inappropriate as a title for the latest release by THE DEAD C-inappropriate because its been only two years since the last album, which in Dead C Time is but the flicker of a candle; appropriate since the key to enjoying their sounds is willingness to sit down, listen and let the music take over your mind. These four unforgiving and intense tracks will not be confused with the work of any other band. Recorded in Dunedin over the Southern summer of 2009/10, Patience captures a restless band that never settles into any form. The trio of MICHAEL MORLEY, BRUCE RUSSELL and ROBBIE YEATS makes their improvised music sound like the most substantial ever recorded, no matter in what direction they go. Here, vocal-less, thick and thundering electric drones compound and retreat like a Pacific Ocean of noise. Morley once again provides the artwork and continues in his color palatte of late. Its circular, flowery texture provides the perfect mandala for contemplation while lost within the deep meditations that Patience inspires." - Ba Da Bing. |

Artist: DEAD C Title: Secret Earth Format: CD Label: Ba Da Bing Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "The elegance of howling guitar noise was fully realized when THE DEAD C appeared. For over twenty years now, the trio has continually redefined what rock music is and can sound like, and have inspired Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, Wolf Eyes, and Comets On Fire, not to mention the current fertile underground noise scene. The Dead C is the ultimate blues band. But rather than departing from the heartfelt singing of the African-American South, they express the tenants of alienation in society with unrelenting force-a focused soundtrack to accompany Knut Hamsun novels, Samuel Beckett plays, and Ingmar Bergman films. MICHAEL MORLEYs monotonic vocal moan anchors the inherent isolation of our modern world--nothing is more earnest, nothing sounds so lost. Along the axis of The Dead Cs recordings, Secret Earth sounds like it was created between Eusa Kills and Harsh 70s Reality. It contains a straightforward (for them) expression of sound, while continually pushing their vast improvisational techniques into a realm of subconscious genius. To coincide with this release, the band will be playing rare, select shows around the US in mid-October. They have not been to the east coast in over a decade, and will be visiting some places theyve never been (cheers, Seattle). LP version coming." -Ba Da Bing! |

Artist: DEAD C Title: The Damned Format: CD Label: Starlight Furniture Company Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "Over the last 17 years, The Dead C have produced some of the most strident, uncompromising and downright nasty rock screech to exit from their homeland of New Zealand, without sacrificing an ounce of the grace and finesse required of tamers of gigantic, wild sandworms. Their eighteen full-length albums and numerous seven-inch singles have garnered worldwide respect from vertebrates and invertebrates alike. The Dead Cs improvised noise rock verges on disintegration with a trademark hazy disorientation, invariably evoking hypnotic and heavy moods. But The Dead C are no bummer. They have always sought liberation from shallow and easy rock conventions; amid the murk of cardboard box guitars, underwater vocals, and ramshackle drumming, a new consciousness emerges. The recognizable, sullen strumming, mumbling and lyrical ennui of painter and educator Michael Morley (also known for his solo work as Gate), anchored by percussionist Robbie Yeats and punctuated by the atonal bursts of writer and Corpus Hermeticum label boss Bruce Russell (also known for his solo work as A Handful of Dust), coalesce in a solid front that mocks the efforts of schmaltz-peddling hacks." - Starlight Furniture. |

| "With a catalogue that oscillates between subverting traditional song structures and stomping out and obliterating the very notion, New Zealands MICHAEL MORLEY, BRUCE RUSSELL and ROBBIE YEATS have continually made the most crushing, expansive and intelligent rock noise ever to be heard. The trio have been creating the greatest of squalls for twenty years now, and to mark the anniversary, Ba Da Bing is proud to present this double CD retrospective, with tracks hand-picked by the band members themselves, collecting old and new faves and out-of-print rarities. This release serves long-time fans and the curious alike, as chances are few people have heard everything on these discs. The band chose critical highlights as well as material they felt deserved wider exposure. While classics like "Constellation," "Power," and "Bitcher" are present, so are obscurities like "Mighty" from their Forced Exposure 7-inch, "All Channels Open" from the limited, double-disc DC record and "3 Years" from the Xpressway Pile-Up compilation. The real thrill is listening to the bands development over time, from the deconstructed skeletal rock of their early output to the eventual, cosmic marriage of reason and squalor that is as crushing as it is indescribable." - Ba Da Bing!. |

| "Two of the greatest bands of the present day, each composed of two guitarists and a drummer. Every members name carries its own legendary status. RICHARD BISHOP. BEN CHASNY. CHRIS CORSANO. MICHAEL MORLEY. BRUCE RUSSELL. ROBBIE YEATS. Fabricated empires have risen and been destroyed by the vast output of any one of these guys. Finally, they come together on one release: a split LP between two supergroups. THE DEAD Cs tracks are a gem of a find. The band uncovered recordings nestled in the back corner of their archives that they completely forgot existed. These tracks were under consideration for their seminal album Eusa Kills. The loose majesty found on that album comes to the fore here, with a group finding their wings right as they are set aflame. RANGDA recorded their two compositions at Russian Recording in Bloomington, Indiana. Everything that brings these musicians together uncoils and commands. Beats of silence underscore tangents that lead back to main themes and out again. Its as though the years and years of playing under their collective belts has culminated in these glorious moments." - Ba Da Bing! |

| "Its bright and sunny out, the birds are chirping, and summer is in full swing, but in here American Haircut is filling the air with a cold haze of serious downer-vibed psych. No sun in these parts just dead vegitation and an iced over ground where a ghostly voice repeats over and over "You know youre bringing me down." So put on your coat, alter your mind, turn out the lights, and get lost in the nine extended jams that fill this album. DEAD LUKE has released three killer singles (two on Sacred Bones, one on Sweet Rot) as well as a number of tapes, and a collaborative 12-inch with Zola Jesus. This is his first LP. Limited to 500 copies." -Floridas Dying |

Artist: DEAD LUKE Title: Meanwhile... In The Midwest Format: LP Label: Moon Glyph Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "Amidst pilfering of collective bargaining rights, the storming of public buildings in union protests, and subsequent recalls of elected officials, a bubbling of proletariat discontent in Madison, WI has shed light on a region of the country often overlooked. Emerging from this unrest comes DEAD LUKEs second full-length and first Moon Glyph release, Meanwhile... In The Midwest, which takes the portentously hazy half-songs contained within his debut LP and solidifies them into a raw, lysergic-crystalline acid cocoon. In the albums final moments we are greeted to the triumphant drifting of "Endless High," a fuzzed-out call to arms for the No Coast. On "God Of Nothing" Luke conjures a hymnal drone of weaving elements peaking into a self-contained nihilist jam. While harkening back to the nebulous "American Haircut," Luke now unleashes his vexed voice in parallel with a movement currently percolating to a once apathetic surface." - Moon Glyph. |

Artist: DEAD LUKE Title: s/t Format: Cass Label: Jerkwave Country: USA Price: $5.00 |
| "Dead Luke is in fact dead, announced last January. This self-titled cassette, released nearly a year ago, was until the announcement his only recorded document. It seems Luke is hungrier in zombification, as he has since released a slew of vinyl and plans for a wealth more. Familiar to the Sacred Bones scene/sound, and released by Florida?s Sky-Fi, the cassette?s thirteen tracks come needled with chintzy synthesizers and dipped in reverb, crashing with an Ariel Pink mad genius, though stuck in some wonderful limbo between painfully simple pop structures and the anti-structure of dark ambient neighbors like Hive Mind and Burial Hex. Drum machines ramble in every direction, and in every configuration; guitars come and go, seemingly tuned then set back down; basslines dread into a funk then relax into broad, warped whir. Vocals are effected until indecipherable, rendering abstract and often obtuse the themes of titles like ?The Thermostat Has Shorted Out?, ?Night Of The Zodiac?, and ?Oh God Make It Stop? - to be read entirely against the music, an often steely gothic of organs, sermoned mutterings, and other loose hairs of modern Americana trash. Strangely it works like magic. Call it ?bright nihilism?." -Jerkwave |

They are the forefathers of broken gear / appliance / wind instrument basement jamming and have their niche dug deep. "Invasion" exists on the borders of existence- room ambiance is present, but the sounds are totally alien. Twisting mixer feedback and found sound source into a twisted collage of life outside the "Pod": harsh and awakening, but at times giving way to the trance of the machine lull. Dont fall asleep. In an edition of 450 LPs with full color pro-printed cardboard sleeves with art by John Olson." -Arbor |

Artist: DEAD MACHINES/THE HAUNTING Title: Private Live Format: LP Label: Gods of Tundra Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "Red vinyl, edition of 300. One night last winter, Dead Machines and The Haunting performed a gig where the sole audience was the other band (and not cause no one showed up..no one else was invitied). This split LP is a document of this cold night of Distant Sound. Dead Machines began the night with possibly their strangest, most obscure set to date. The two players are Sound and No Sound. More accurately: what I have always thought the sound of a dying machine would be. The Hauntings set is equally as slow. Haze fades in and out. Talk about living rooms and fields and things that are far. Haunting gigs are very few and far inbetween and this happens to be their first. We all felt kinda weird afterwords, but it also totally ruled. Like we all had sex or something. Ewww." - Gods Of Tundra. |

Artist: DEAD OF 24 Title: Blast Off Motherfucker Format: LP Label: Ride The Snake Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| ""Blast Off Motherfucker! is a reissue of the second of the bands cassettes, the originals likely decaying in the hands of a couple of dozen people. Its been seen fit for vinyl release over a decade later, and its aged right into the times were in, urgent despondence you cant fake. Named in honor of Peter Laughner, they played like Beat Happening as the Dead C., or maybe a more lit up Supreme Dicks or Pink Reason, indie pop songs slowed down to a crawl with thudding toms, all the brightness blotted out with sluggo catharsis. Its fucking wild, is what it is, wide open and leaving nothing to reason (any bands around today with the courage to write a song like ⿿Sodomy. Yes! please stand up). If youre trying to keep up with as many of these records as you can, this one should go to the top of your list. More reissues have been planned and I hope they see the light of day. Theres only 300 copies of this, theyre cheap, and theyre moving fast. Its somewhat painful for me to listen to this and admit that, as a 20 year old, I probably didnt get it. Kids are fucking stupid sometimes. This one is so good." - Still Single |

Artist: DEAD RAVEN CHOIR Title: My Firstborn Will Surely Be Blind Format: LP Label: Aurora Borealis Country: UK Price: $20.00 |
| "Smolken returns to Aurora Borealis in the guise of his perhaps better known Dead Raven Choir project. Since the release of Wolfmanglers Dwelling In A Dead Raven For The Glory Of Crucified Wolves Smolken has settled in Poland, and seriously begun to record as much as possible. Where Wolfmangler is slow and ponderous (compost with a grudge as Julian Cope stated in The Guardian last year) and could perhaps even be described as an obscure branch of Doom, how shall we classify Dead Raven Choir? An altogether noisier undertaking and unafraid of the heady heights of mid-tempo, Dead Raven Choir has baffled, irked and aroused listeners for a number of years now. An unholy cross of black metal and folk? Organically produced noise and scree? Doubtless many a consumer has been outraged by a lazily tagged Dead Raven Choir release, though with the countless CD-R and micro-label releases, there grows a veritable army of supporters, eager to have their preconceptions smashed and ears damaged once more with every hint of new material. My Firstborn Will Surely Be Blind grips the listener immediately and threatens to overwhelm them with its brute force. Clearly there is something to be said for the Eastern Bloc technologies that were so deftly abused, as this is truly a unique sound. Smolken has transcended the avant-garde and moved beyond: ladies and gentlemen, Dead Raven Choir has left the field." -Aurora Borealis |

Artist: DEADNOTES Title: Orange Trumpet Format: LP Label: Soft Abuse Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "What attracted me to this band on first sight ⿿ trained in the ⿿school of error as practised by Maher Shalal Hash Baz and all those other naive orchestral delights, accomplished keyboards man Leighton Craig of the firm belief that where drummers went wrong was when they first started crossing their arms over ⿿ is what still attracts me to them: belief, brevity, melody, resonance, a fondness (acquired from having lived through it) for the early 80s post-Go-Betweens/early Fall mannerisms of derelict Brisbane nightclubs. Stuart Busby not only wields a trumpet like Brightons own Alistair Strachan (Hamilton Yarns, Crayola Lectern) but understands the absolute necessity of controlling (or not controlling) the sound. Guitarist/drummer Eugene Carchesio ⿿ an accomplished, exhibited visual artist in his own right ⿿ much favours the ⿿play once, move on approach to creating and inventing new songs that cant help attract simple me. One of Eugenes favourite musicians is Jad Fair. How can I argue with that? Im reminded of Monks, Moondog, 4 Gods, Flipper. Too often noise musicians deliberately eschew melody ⿿ as if to admit for a fondness for such is a weakness. The Deadnotes are as unreconstructed and wilfully abstract as the most experimental among us, but at the heart of the music is (usually) a melody, a structure, a beating heart." - Everett True |

Artist: DEAF CENTER Title: Owl Splinters Format: LP + CD Label: Type Country: UK Price: $22.00 |
|
"Its hard to believe that six years have gone by since Deaf Centers Pale Ravine hit the shelves. In the time thats passed, the distinct melodies of Norwegians Erik Skodvin and Otto Totland have become almost synonymous with a specific shard of mysterious imagery so it feels high time that the duo should return to add a new next chapter to their shadowy story. In contrast to Skodvin and Totlands previous work, Owl Splinters was recorded in a studio setting (Nils Frahms Durton studio, to be exact), and the lo-fidelity, haphazard techniques of their early recordings are now all but gone. With the benefit of some high-end engineering and analog equipment, Skodvin and Totlands murky compositions have been transformed from sketches into glorious widescreen spectacles. The blackened, scraping tone of Skodvins strings ring out on the albums opener "Divided" before seismic bass drones push up from beneath with a cacophonous, earthy clarity. This is the same Deaf Center we fell in love with all those years ago, but bigger and more powerful than ever before. Between these epic compositions, the two musicians take time to give their own solo instruments the time to breathe -- Totland on the piano and Skodvin on the cello. These small vignettes are crucial to the overall narrative of Owl Splinters, allowing a crack of sunlight through the oppressively bleak atmosphere. Everything slots into place on the albums centerpiece "The Day I Would Never Have" -- piano and cello tumble into each other, forming a dense, affecting cloud of sound. Echoes of half-remembered horror movies, love songs and the dark arts come together in a Norwegian cauldron to reveal something that at its heart is deeply moving and beautiful. Deaf Center are back, and Owl Splinters might just be their most defining statement to date. Includes a bonus CD of new interpretations of the album from Erik Skodvins Svarte Greiner project." -Type

This is a slightly different release from the previous LP and split LP with Spoono, essentially this one being a long improvised acoustic freak-out. Loose frequent and infrequent twangs to pure whirlwinds of aggressive string assaults and finger shredding plucking. This still retains Cams signature traditional playing somehow, especially the more intense heavier moments. A solid recording. Limited to 500 copies on heavyweight vinyl in pro-printed fold over covers with photography by Cam and printed labels. Pressed at the superb Record Industry in the Netherlands." - Blackest Rainbow. |

This follows his two long sold out CDRs on Blackest Rainbow, and proves once again that he is off the chain! OK, so theres always gonna be the immediate comparison to James Blackshaw, but the sound is different, more aggressive almost and raw... this guitar playing has an edge -- its deep and its powerful. The LP consists of three tracks, the A side is an epic, almost 20-minute piece entitled The Waters Of Kvaloya recorded by Ben Nash. The B sides and albums title track begins with almost a minute of near silent distant drone that develops with stomach-wrenching string twangs. The closing piece is As Spring Fell From The Leaves, which was originally issued on the For The Silver Waters, Sing! CDR last year on BR, but has been considered by people whove bought his releases and seen Cam live as possibly one of the best things he has composed. Total genius, with a real blissful, but eventually dark, vibe. This track definitely deserved to be put on wax. Mastered by Ben Nash. Limited to 300 copies." -Blackest Rainbow |

| "Spiritual-Mental-Physical is a collection of wild early DEATH demos, presenting the three young HACKNEY brothers consolidating their powers as they embark on a trip into pure rock and roll music. For many years following the emergence of punk rock, nothing changed. Punk bands either signed contracts and played the rock band game or they lived in a world parallel to the world of commercial rock and roll. Farther along came "the year that punk broke," a puzzling decade and a half after the whole thing had first been absorbed into the mainstream in the last of the 1970s. And so it was. The books were written; the pronouncements made. Then came news of Death. Theyd self-released a single in 1976; the tracks made it onto an unheard punk compilation a couple decades later. In 2008, an obsessive young man tracked them down and found that the surviving two brothers had master tapes from all those years ago. These made up the truly senses-shattering album...For The Whole World To See. Suddenly, the book was open again and the history of punk rock needed to be rewritten to include Death. The sounds on ...For the Whole World To See are those of young men, scorching their influences in the process of becoming new. Spiritual-Mental-Physical gives us Death by transistor radio, with a tinnyyet- furious sound representing the 1970s environment of Death. Here, the musical landscape that inspired them is more clearly defined as they demo material that didnt make it to the studio, but shares the same ferocious bent as "Politicians In My Eyes," "Keep On Knocking," and the rest of ...For the Whole World To See.

Here, the musical landscape that inspired them is more clearly defined as they demo material that didnt make it to the studio, but shares the same ferocious bent as Politicians In My Eyes, Keep On Knocking, and the rest of ...For The Whole World To See. Spiritual-Mental-Physical is an inside look at Deaths early days, one that fans of the group and fans of punk rock (and, indeed, rock of all kinds) are sure to enjoy for the rest of time." -Drag City

A one man all-live-analogue electronic ice machine (who is also behind the likes of SIDS - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). His sound is as cryptically raw as it gets - summoning the seminal Industrial/EBM sounds of the likes of early Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy, and The Normal.

Very detailed reissue work on the part of Anopheles, whove turned this out as one of the most finely detailed and richly presented documents of its type." - FE. "This legendary group from Chickasha, Oklahoma formed in 1975 and self-released their lone LP in 1976. A Dada/punk/psych masterpiece recorded in just under seven hours in Dec. 75, the LP and the individuals who created it have long been the subject of a great deal of mystery and conjecture due to their elusiveness, the mindblowing quality of the music as well as the provocative negative image bondage LP sleeve design. This expanded reissue includes all 11 original LP tracks in sparkling fidelity from the original master tapes along with 10 previously unissued rehearsal recordings (total time just over 76 minutes). Fully authorized by the band, this CD also features a 28 page booklet with rare photos, lyrics, and personal accounts by all three original members, including bassist Chuck Iveys tale of relocating to L.A. to participate in the nascent Dangerhouse punk scene, where he took the stage with the Randoms at the Masque benefit in Feb. 78. The Debris LP was also namechecked in Nurse With Wounds infamous listing of influential LPs included with their first album in 1979. In short, Debris cultivated its own dynamic musical vernacular, showing the influence of Captain Beefheart, the Stooges, early Roxy Music and other pre-punk mainstays of the time. Their closest contemporaries were Hearthan era Pere Ubu, Siren-era Chrome, Indiana-era MX-80 Sound and Canadian sonic miscreants Simply Saucer. The beautifully raw and untamed bonus cuts include two unreleased originals, five alternate takes to the LP tracks, covers of the Stooges Real Cool Time and John Cales Gun, as well as Other Things, a song originally recorded by Debris precursor group, Victoria Vein and the Thunderpunks." - Anopheles. |

Mind"s Ear Records (MERe) was formed to assure the continued existence of certain materials that were in danger of being lost to the listening public. The Landmark recordings are standouts from the underground music scene that have been rescued from obscurity, or, to quote William Burroughs: "to freeze-dry the edifying spectacle for posterity and export". Our interest is partially selfish. These recordings are hard to find and expensive. Moreover, the originals were done on a "shoestring", so the art, packaging, and information contained in them is - to use a kind word - minimal. What we wanted to do is re-present these recordings with the care and feeding they deserve: as quality artifacts from maverick artists." - Minds Ear/Imgrat.

Artist: DECIMUS Title: 11 Format: LP Label: Digitalis Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Pat Muranos Decimus project has been all over the map in the past few years, undertaking a massive effort to put out a series of 12 albums in accordance with the zodiac of Decimus Magnus Ausonius. Previous to this, Murano was perhaps best-known as one of the founding members of No Neck Blues Band, K-Salvatore, and Malkuth, but it is with Decimus that the full story finally unfolds. With 11, Murano is going schizo and taking you down a hellish aural rabbit hole, deep into the abyss. Digitalis is not exaggerating when they say this might be the weirdest record they have ever put out. 11 opens with layers of looped, rusty-sounding strings mashed together with slowed down, death-rattle vocals. With buried crunch rhythms peeking out from the morass, the whole effect is like wandering through a funeral procession through a post-apocalyptic metropolis. Everything moves rapidly until it doesnt. Murano slows things to a crawl, pushing the demonic howl under a pane of glass. Blown-out minimal beats emerge to carry the bones along, but it feels like the worst is inevitable and theres no place to go but down. And thats when Murano pulls the rug out from beneath. Solemn guitar chords are plucked like feathers, mourning the loss of the sun but never losing faith entirely. Of course, thats just a tease because just as abruptly as it appears, the section is destroyed and replaced by sharp synth stabs and manipulated tribal death marches. Everything has a crunch to it. 11 sounds like an album that was found in a sandy tomb. Its simultaneously ancient and still looking forward. The whole album is so disorienting and disfigured that its oddly beautiful. The thing about this installment in the Decimus saga is how much of a story it tells. Murano deftly jumps from one chapter to another, throwing so many ideas and styles into the cauldron and spitting out something that flows like magic. This is the soundtrack for modern times, in all its ugly glory. Cut to vinyl at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Artwork by Tiny Little Hammers." -Digitalis. |

Artist: DECIMUS Title: Polydipsia Format: Cass Label: Brave Mysteries Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "Drawing himself out from within the folds of NNCK, Pat Murano has gone on to litter New York City with the sounds of his grimey electronic meditations and the hallucinatory happenings of numerous clandestine interaction groups such as K Salvatore, Key Of Shame, Raajmahal, or Safiyya. Murano has released a number of his surreal spells as gypsy souvenirs via his private imprint Kelippah. Within this bounty lies one of the most mysterious and undefinable of works, known only as Decimus. Over the last two years we have seen an impressive series of LPs (as well as the odd tape and cdr), all given seemingly arbitrary letters or numbers for titles, most of which were released on Kelippah, as well as several handsome releases on the Italian labels Holidays Records and Planam (a sublabel of Alga Marghen) . The music of Decimus is highly oblique and personal sounding. Uneasy electronic orchestrations flow within and without a m鬡nge of intuitive concrete collage, vocal intonation and ritualized electro-acoustic performance. Like little else before it, except perhaps the likes of Kluster, or another of Conrad Schnitzlers incredible inner space adventures." - Polydipsia. |

Artist: DECIMUS/HOBO SONN Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Kelippah Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "In an era where compositional abstract music has been co-opted by studious arrangers obsessed with process, where forbearers have been kidnapped by pop stars, and where the noiseniks have all turned to techno beats, this split lp by Decimus (Pat Murano) and Hobo Sonn (Ian Murphy) presents a triumphant return to the frayed and dangerous inner world of outsider sound exploration and reproduction. Both artists have crafted individual soundscapes that reek of the cinematic, while eschewing both pastiche and canonized musical reference points to create a unique inverted cosmos. Presented over two sides of vinyl each suite of music almost perfectly mirrors the other. Where Deciumus uses synthetic devices to create warped, nightmarish representations of organic, everyday sounds (creaky floorboards, a heartbeat, rats squeaking, camera shutters clicking, a taunting feral animal cry), Hobo Sonn places field recordings of actual sounds (foot falls, birds, insects, automobiles) in a dark and drifting world that feels very much like a waking bad dream. If the Decimus side feels like a descent into the end of ones days, then perhaps Hobo Sonns side is the reality we face once we cross over. Or perhaps it is the other way around. There is not a payoff to be found within these vibrating grooves, instead you are invited from the opening seconds of each side to be a part of a parallel world, one that perhaps lives right around the next darkened corner, or at the periphery of your eyesight. Like real life, the peaks happen subtly, when you are not paying attention, and leave you in a different place than you were when you started. Another deeply personal release from the Kellipah label." - Jason Meagher Limited to 300 lps. Jackets silk-screened by Phil Franklin and Christine Shields at Bright Spot Ink. |

Dedalus was originally released in 1973, and in the same year the band took part at the Avantgarde and New Trends Festival in Naples, being pointed as the real revelation of the event.

| "May 30th, 2012 marked the 80th birthday of American visionary musician Pauline Oliveros. Needle Drop Jungle is a continuation of the celebration. Together with bandmates Stuart Dempster and David Gamper, Oliveros and company churned up a vigorous storm at their January 2011 residency in Seattle, captured on this double vinyl release. With the help of staff at DXArts, the Deep Listening Band recorded impromptu downpours unhindered by technical issues, a peak in their collective creative output. Suddenly and unexpectedly, David Gamper died on September 27th, 2011. Needle Drop Jungle thus includes the brightest moments from what have sadly become the last recordings of this exceptional trio. Along with the simultaneously released Pauline Oliveros Primordial/Lift 2LP, this title completes a tetralogy of Oliveros releases on Taiga that started with the Deep Listening Band Then & Now and Timeless Pulse Trio 2LPs. Needle Drop Jungle was mastered by James Plotkin, cut direct to metal and pressed on 200 gram virgin vinyl in an edition of 500. It comes packaged in a double-wide raw brown cardstock jacket with essays by the band and a flooded pocket. The jacket is encased in a custom slipcase, with gorgeous photographs by Michael S.

Artist: DEEP LISTENING BAND Title: Then & Now Now & Then: Celebrating 20 Years Format: Double LP Label: Taiga Country: USA Price: $28.00 |
| "The Deep Listening Band is an improvisational group founded in 1988 by Pauline Oliveros with members David Gamper and Stuart Dempster. Now, 20 years later, the trio celebrate an anniversary of improvisation, innovation and commitment with their first-ever vinyl release. This vinyl-only document contains four side-long tracks, one reissued and three previously-unreleased. "Cannery Row" was originally available on the Troglodytes Delight (1990) album and captures the band in Tarpaper Cave, which Dempster recalls as "an old limestone quarry near Rosendale, New York that had lovely dripping water sounds and Valhalla-like mists." The previously-unreleased tracks were gathered from three separate live performances at the Sounds Like Now Festival, Sound Exchange American Composers Forum, and Engine27, a 16-channel installation of special speakers. The audio was mastered for vinyl by James Plotkin, cut direct to metal and pressed on 200 gram virgin vinyl in a limited edition of 500. The records come packaged in a custom-designed slipcover and a jacket with doublewide spines. The slipcover features two exquisite photographs and is dual-finished with a gloss front and matte back. The jacket is printed on a cardboard brown stock with the pocket flooded green and features three rich essays including: an introduction by David Felton, a short history by Dempster and information about the Expanded Instrument System (EIS) from Oliveros. Mastered for vinyl by James Plotkin, cut direct to metal and pressed on 200 gram virgin vinyl in a limited edition of 500. Includes an intro by David Felton, a bio by Dempster and an essay about the Expanded Instrument System (EIS) from Oliveros." -Taiga - "First it was the name of an album that came out about 20 years ago and made new music history. Deep Listening. Then it became the name of the band that recorded that album. Then it became the name of a practice, an approach to art, improvisation, exploration and, well, living, that drove that band, a band of crazies led by Pauline Oliveros, to lower themselves into a huge underground concrete cistern in the state of Washington." -David Felton, 2008 |

Artist: DEEPKISS 720 Title: Cazworld Format: Cass + Art Label: Beniffer Editions Country: Canada Price: $19.00 |
| “Along with the Prog MP3 disc Jase sent the latest of his rejuvenated Deepkiss 720 releases. This one easily wins the most ridiculous over the top packaging of the year award. Im not one to dwell on packaging, being of the mind that its whats inside that counts but a fold out, cut out sheet of eye-boggling collage the size of Andorra deserves special mention. Inside lies a cassette titled Caz World which contains the usual cut up tape malarky that DK720 is renowned for: Ringo swearing, tapes being sped up and cut up, TV samples, screams, punk riffs, disaffected teenagers spill the beans to tweed wrapped social workers whilst an angry bee tries to singe the hairs in your right ear lobe. Its quite possible that theres nobody in the UK making noises quite like Deepkiss 720. Long may he run.” -Idwal Fisher. 18 x 24”, double sided screenprinted quadruple foldout in two VHS sleeves, gaping, handcut detailing, Cassette. |

Artist: DEGREASER Title: Bottom Feeder Format: LP Label: Negative Guest List Country: Australia Price: $18.00 |
| "I was late to arrive on the alternating Sea Scouts and Bird Blobs trams, but was well aware that many peers and elders held those groups in high esteem. While the DEGREASER record may contain whiffs of the fog the Scouts/Blobs left in their wake, this is a beast in and of itself; enlivened by splashes of chrome strippin black-hole psych and No Wave malice. You might hear bits & pieces from principal songwriter TIM EVANs other bands over the years, among them BOGAN DUST and more recently, COCONUTS. Facts bein facts though, you could just as well do w/out hearing any of whats come before from Tim & co and still get a kick out of DeGreaser and their debut long-player Bottom Feeder. Here are nine tracks that will make you hit the wall or nosedive onto gravel. A pitch-perfect addition to our ever growing roster of gnarled eerie sounds; DeGreaser are a destruction unit of the highest caliber, worth yer chump change no matter what time you happened to tune in. Mastered by STEVEN SMITH." -Negative Guest List |

Artist: DELAURENTI, CHRIS Title: The Night I Met Maria C. Format: CD Label: Locust Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "Locusts fifth installment of their adventurous Met Life series of city field recordings and responses brings us a tongue firmly in cheek offering from the rapid cut up techniques of Seattles Chris Delaurenti. Simply put, its a little exercise on waste and getting wasted. This field recording documents the removal of waste at a transfer station in Seattle and the response rides the pun to its excessive extreme as DeLaurenti quickly becomes a participant in the flailing and drunken fanfare at a party, raising the ever important question What on earth are we all doing! No doubt, its this style, edgy humor and raw guerrilla techniques that make DeLaurenti a sort of Fellini of the audio underworld." - Locust |

Artist: DELIRED CAMELEON FAMILY Title: Visa De Censure Nº X Format: LP Label: Wah Wah Country: Spain Price: $29.00 |
| "Another lost gem of French underground music, Delired Cameleon Family was originally conceived as the soundtrack to Pierre Clémentis Visa de censure nº X, and was originally released as an LP in 1975. It was a host of reputed experimentalists who took charge of producing this soundtrack. Under the direction of Cyrille Verdeaux we found the likes of Yvan Coaquette (Música Electrónica Viva, Spacecraft...), Gilbert Artman (Lard Free, Urban Sax...), Christian Boulé, Tim Blake (Gong, solo recordings...), Ariel Kalma (Heldon, solo recordings), Jean-Claude dAgostini, François Jeanneau, Jean Padovani, Olivier Pamela, Joël Dugrenot, Antoine Duvernet, Aude Cornillac and Valérie Lagrange. Cyrille Verdeaux was, of course, the main force behind the better known French band Clear Light. Verdeaux was born the 31st of July of 1949 in Paris. At the age of 15 he became a student at the French National Conservatory of Music, specialising in studies of harmony, composition and piano. He won three times the first prize in student composition. After the 1968 student riots he left the Conservatory to join a band as a keyboardist. In 1972 he released Clearlight Symphony, thus forming the band Clear Light to tour through Europe performing his symphony. Clear Light would release three more LPs through the 70s, and also the soundtrack to Visa De Censure. The music form Delired Cameleon Family, as it has been told somewhere, is the synthesis of pianos technical, epic scales, psychedelic wah wah guitar sounds and electronic cosmic, molecular machines arrangements. We are proud to add this great experimental trippy soundtrack to the Wah Wah catalogue, reissued in cool vinyl, with remastered sound, housed in a faithful reproduction of the original sleeve and complete with an insert with liner notes and photos. Only 500 copies pressed, so better get yours before they are gone!" -Wah Wah |

Artist: DELTA 5 Title: Singles & Sessions 1979-81 Format: CD Label: Kill Rock Stars Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| 2006 release. "Part of the Leeds/UK art/music scene in the late 70s that launched The Gang of Four and The Mekons, Delta 5 was signed to Rough Trade after only a few months in existence, and released their first single recording, Mind Your Own Business/Now That Youve Gone in 1979. No less an authority than legendary BBC host and producer John Peel received an advance copy of the single and played it twice that same night. He then requested that the band do a Sessions gig for him and the band was officially on its way. Relentless gigging with The Gang of Four, Echo and the Bunnymen, B52s, Specials, Teardrop Explodes, and U2 put the band on the map worldwide. They continued touring and recording until various members departed in late 1981, when they recorded one last single and then broke up for good in 1982." - Kill Rock Stars. |

Artist: DEMDIKE STARE Title: Testpressing #002 Format: 12" Label: Modern Love Country: UK Price: $18.00 |
| "Demdike Stare presents #2 in their Testpressing series. "Grows Without Bound" is a noisy analog session resurrected from the burning embers of industrial and noise, harnessed into an unstable growl that makes room for a barely-there percussive stumble -- think somewhere between Vainio and Nate Young. "Primitive Equations" takes inspiration from the bare-boned, hyper-tense production of Photeks "Ni - Ten - Ichi - Ryu," slugging out feral, steely noise and ardcore torque forged by calloused hands and burning minds to cruel, propulsive effect." -Modern Love. |

| "One of the bands that helped build the great Austin, TX music scene (the live music capital of the world), Demian was actually Bubble Puppy with a new name and sound. While Bubble Puppy was classic psychedelia, Demian was hard rock in the vein of bands like Atomic Rooster. Recorded live-in-studio at L.A.s legendary Record Plant studio in 1970, Demian was also one of the first bands to feature dueling lead guitars. Despite the high quality of the songs and the local buzz this album generated at the time, due to mismanagement, Demian soon faded into the record collecting beyond." -Klimt |

Artist: DEMONS Title: Evocation Format: CD Label: No Fun Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
|
"Consisting of Nate Young (Wolf Eyes) and Steve Kenney, Demons explore
near-epileptic fits of droning synth textures that elicit comfortable
remembrances of electronic-obsessed forefathers like Stockhausen and
Cluster whilst simultaneously bludgeoning forward with the grating and
scraping atonal complexities of Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle.
Having already rallied a fervorous flux of supporters with
discomforting psychedelic multi-media performances and a slew of
cryptic releases, among them this years fetishistic Life Destroyer
box set, Evocation is an appropriately elaborate and accomplished
approximation of their shrewd identity.
Subterranean analog rumbles compete with laser-sharp extraterrestial
blasts and hums, both contrasts birthing an ominous hallucination of
impending dread. The four pieces here fixate into an almost narrative
concoction, forming an abstract portrait that feeds its murky sonics
into perplexing vibrations that force one forth into their path just
as much as they delight in crafting intriguing unease.
With artwork contributed by the duos frequent visual collaborator
Alivia Zivich, Evocation, which happens to be Demons first CD
release, is as apt a proper declaration as any, seamlessly crafting
their steady and intricate synth-scapes with the darkly psychedelic
images such creations naturally elicit within the psyches of attentive
devotees." - No Fun.

Now available on CD!!! Demons is Nate Young (Wolf Eyes) and Steve Kenney (Pterodactyls, Werewolves). "In the winter of 2005 Steve Kenney and myself began Demons. Steve rescued his Pro One from New Orleans Katrina aftermath. The synthesizer was moldy, had a bad power cord and a horrible buzz (I broke it after our first gig). I played various homemade electronic devices, rewired radios, feedback, etc. Later that week I bought a Pro One as well. Mine had no working keyboard and, of course, a horrible buzz (a grounding issue). What we found ourselves doing was not so much making music with the Pro One but rather just turning them on and listening to the synthesizer play itself. I recorded our sessions and we called it Demons. Our synthesizers are still somewhat broke." -Nate Young 12/27/06

Artist: DEMPSTER, STUART Title: On The Boards Format: CD Label: Anomalous Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "Stuart Dempster has been involved in a variety of new music endeavors over the last 40 years. He organized the ensemble to record Terry Rileys landmark piece In C for Columbia Records; commissioned works from Luciano Berio, Ernst Krenek, Pauline Oliveros, and several others; gave David Tudor a place to stay while developing Rainforest; participated in the U.S. premiere of Cornelius Cardews Treatise; toured with Merce Cunningham Dance Company alongside such luminaries as David Behrman, Takehisa Kosugi, and Tudor; founded Deep Listening Band with Oliveros; and much more. However, he has only released a few solo recordings of his own work during that time: In The Great Abbey Of Clement VI, originally released on LP by 1750 Arch and later reissued by New Albion Records, and Underground Overlays from the Cistern Chapel, also on New Albion. This is a third, originally released on cassette only in 1986 and receiving limited distribution. Unlike the others, this documents Stuart in front of, and with, an audience. This is important as Dempster works with the audience, two pieces in particular using them to add to textures he is creating and bringing them into the music. Dont Worry, It Will Come takes this a step further, using a series of hoses hidden underneath the audience seats with rather humorous results. The bulk of the disc is focused on his meditative buzzing and droning, skillfully drawn from unique didjeridus and the instrument he is best known for playing, trombone." - Anomalous. |

Artist: DENDOSHI Title: Dendoshi 2 Format: LP Label: Planam Country: Italy Price: $28.00 |
| "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: "sent 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 that ventured upon elucidating the memories of a a fifty-plus foot tall dead Weeping Cherry Tree 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, drawing further upon 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 Levis 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 ecstasy. The symbol, or mark on the front cover created by Connolly came intuitively and without revision. Its 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 appropriation, but as recognition or acknowledgment. The other images followed, each of them coming without search. The last image of Vermeers, from Van Luyks basement studio where the sessions occurred, brings full circle the series of four inserts. There is a trace of fear and a sensation of suspended time in these images that suits the music very well. Edition limited to 300 copies with a gold cover." -Planam |

Artist: DEON Title: s/t Format: 12" Label: Hippos In Tanks Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "dEon is producer, composer and singer based in Montreal, Canada who explores electronic counterpoint through house, funk and pop music. Using synthesizers to snake out melodies that weave and interlock with each other, dEons music straddles a space between pessimistic desperation and the longing for ecstasy. At the age of four, dEon began making music with synthesizers and sequencers and learning music theory. Over the course of 20 years, dEon has inhabited numerous musical spaces. As a small child in the early 1990s, making amateur tapes of synthesizer-based music exposed him to electronic music. As an introverted only child, music remained a constant fixation over the next 20 years. At the age of 11, dEon began studying piano at a local university in eastern Canada, and was there exposed to the music of post-minimalist composers like Steve Reich and Terry Riley. The shifting counterpoints and patterns in Reichs music made a considerable, permanent impact on his perception of music. The young musician then started composing and arranging various musics for violin, chamber orchestra and piano. After a childhood of music lessons, master classes and competitions, the teenage Deon dropped out of formal music training, and after increasingly disabling anxiety and schizoid tendencies developed into severe agoraphobia during his adolescent years, he began producing large quantities of ambient, minimal electronic music while shut in for weeks on end. Having eventually overcome these issues, dEon started on a path studying several music traditions and instruments as an adult, including the Arabic Oud, Iranian Setar, Turkish Saz and Indian Harmonium. He briefly fronted an industrial noise group in 2005, all recordings of which have since been erased by dEon himself. In 2008 he travelled to the Himalayan foothills to study Tibetan music. During this time he lived in a secluded Tantric monastery on the side of a mountain, where he spent months in relative silence, practicing and writing music. After returning to western society in 2009 to find the worlds economy collapsed and his job terminated, dEon moved to Montreal and began writing pop music with heavy influence from classic Chicago house, early 90s dance music from Britain, boogie-funk, as well as the influences that had accumulated through the years of musical learning. The songs on his upcoming debut LP Palinopsia (named after a vision condition that dEon was born with) evoke a sense of dread, but also longing, like the hope of getting into heaven after the apocalypse. Much more so than any superficial musical cues, it is the longing for divine ecstasy and the fear of divine judgment that motivated the music of Palinopsia. Lyrics like “The ocean is a sewer / The city is a whore” suggest a much more apocalyptic view of the world as compared to the blissful, sleepy escapism of chillwave. The tracks are a deceptively accessible backdrop for dEons vision of the inevitable horrors of the 21st century post-information-age hellscape that we all will likely have to endure." - Hippos In Tanks. |

Artist: DER PLAN Title: Geri Reig Format: LP Label: Bureau B Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |
| "180 gram LP version. Geri Reig is Der Plans debut album (originally released in 1980), but not their first release. An EP, recorded with the aid of an Electric Memo dictation preceded Geri Reig. But the band is not very keen on reissuing this early work. Why did they call themselves "Der Plan," actually? "A concept which has something to do with the capacity of people to think and shape their future" as Plan member Moritz Reichelt, alias Moritz R®, once explained. Der Plan at that time comprised Moritz Reichelt, Frank Fenstermacher, Robert Görl and Chrislo Haas. Their music was menacing, fragmented noise rock, still with guitar and drums, but far removed from the typical (rock) music of the period. When Görl and Haas departed (to form DAF), guitars and drums also disappeared from Der Plan. New on the team: Kurt Dahlke alias Pyrolator. This was the line-up which recorded Geri Reig in Reichelts Düsseldorf office with a two-channel tape machine. Geri Reig is a punk album in the truest and best sense. New, threatening and, at the same time, humoros. While other bands of the era stamped with the seal of "punk" played a faster and harder version of 1950s rock and roll or 1960s garage rock, Der Plan, like a handful of contemporaries such as The Residents or Throbbing Gristle, not only rejected traditional song structures but jettisoned the whole instrument list. Thats punk for you! Allied to a deep aversion to rock music and the cliché that goes with it, was the wish to create something of their own. And Geri Reig is certainly idiosyncratic: fragments and songs, raspy and fragile, melodies and interference, ambient sounds up front in the mix. Fine in theory and -- rare though it may be -- excellent in practice. And it just gets better: the album was well-received. Moritz R®: "As if everyone had been waiting for it."" -Bureau B. |

Artist: DER PLAN Title: Geri Reig Format: LP Label: Medical Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "Debut full length album originally released in 1980 on DER PLANs own Warning (later known as Ata Tak) label. Der Plan is widely acknowledged as the pioneers of the Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) movement which was the transformation of punk rock and new wave into an entity of distinct form and style. The movement spawned other notable acts as Grauzone, Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, and Xmal Deutschland. Der Plan originated from Duesseldorf and consisted of MORITZ REICHELT (aka MORITZ R(r)), FRANK FENSTERMACHER and KURT DAHLKE (aka PYROLATOR, ex DAF) on this recording. Geri Reig is a very diverse album consisting of tracks reminiscent of the early Der Plan avante garde period contrasted with more musical and catchy songs geared more towards minimal synthetic pop and experimental minimal synth. It has not been available on vinyl since its original release in 1980. The opener "Adrenalin Laesst Das Blut Kochen" is a hypnotic, pulsing ride interspersed with freeform synth textures. Vocal pitch-shifting makes it presence on Geri Reig and is style detectable in a number of Der Plan songs. "Gefaehrliche Clowns" is a rather minimal number with an infectious melody. "Commerce Exterieur Mondial Sentimental" was featured on the New Deutsch compilation and is a wonderfully sequenced piece with a melodic lead intertwined. The album is also intermixed with multiple experimental tracks which in composite result in a ground-breaking and pioneering document of the Neue Deutsche Welle scene. Medical Records is proud to present Geri Reig with original cover art (enhanced and overseen by Moritz R himself). This masterpiece is presented on 180-gram olive green colored vinyl in a limited edition of 550 hand-numbered copies." - Medical. |

Artist: DER PLAN Title: Normalette Surprise Format: LP Label: Bureau B Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |
| "180 gram LP version. 1980 the zeitgeist played into the right hands. And who held the aces? In Bureau Bs game, Moritz R®, Frank Fenstermacher and Pyrolator aka Der Plan. Tired of convention and full of enthusiasm, they encountered an audience who felt just the same. And with record companies too ponderous to sign up Der Plan, the wonderful Ata Tak label was born of necessity. Normalette Surprise is the second album by Der Plan, released in 1981, a good year after their Geri Reig debut. It is immediately recognizable as a Plan album, yet Normalette Surprise does contain a few, well, surprises. The first number, "Leb doch," is a brilliant pop song. One can say many (good) things about Geri Reig, but it does not contain any pop songs. "Leb doch" is built on a captivatingly taut rhythm, sub-cooled vocals and German lyrics. Hang on a minute, taut rhythm, sub-cooled vocals, German lyrics? Yes exactly -- Der Plan drew up the blueprint for what would soon become known as "Neue Deutsche Welle" -- the German New Wave. Although, "blueprint" sounds a little too benign. It was more like a big bang. Moreover, there was something new about it. Or rather, something old. Bizarrely, Der Plan were introduced by their American artist friends, including the controversial elocutionist Boyd Rice, into the amazing world of the German Schlager, a colorful universe of the absurd awaited exploration. "Kleine Schlager-Revue" and "Sie hat mich verlassen" are the clearest indications of this newfound passion on Normalette Surprise. Hence, Normalette Surprise presents the full range of attributes which would define Der Plan and the Ata Tak label: electronics and Schlager, noise and pop. And Der Plans protagonists succeeded -- unlike so many -- in their mission of creating something original, something of their own." -Bureau B. |

Artist: DER PLAN Title: Normalette Surprise Format: LP Label: Medical Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "Normalette Surprise is the equally important and ground-breaking followup album to Geri Reig and was released in 1981. On Normalette Surprise, DER PLAN further evolved their unique style of Neue Deutsche Welle into an ever-so-slightly more accessible record yet not abandoning their roots as evidenced by hints of experimental sound textures and their characteristic quirky yet unde nable sound collages and pre-industrial notions. "Lebdoch" opens the record and is a marvelous and infectious pop ditty complete with catchy bassline and pitch-shifted vocals. "Generaele Essen Erdbeereis" is a stripped down electro number adorned with a pitch-bending freakout. Other standout tracks are "Meine Freunde" and "Das Insekt". For this special reissue, the hit-single "Da Vorne Steht Ne Ampel" and B-side "Rot-Gruen-Tot" will be included at the start of side 2 of the record. The single was originally released in the time gap between Geri Reig and Normalette Surprise and both songs are phenomenal additions to an already intriguing and landmark album. Normalette Surprise will appeal to devoted followers of this unique genre and fans of contemporary artists (DAF, Saal, Liaison Dangereuses, etc). Similar to Geri Reig, cover and back artwork have been restored by MORITZ R. Together, with Geri Reig,, this album is an essential document for any fan or collector of the fascinating Neue Deutsche Welle period. This record is lovingly presented on 180gram dark blue vinyl in a limited edition of 550 hand-numbered copies." - Medical. |

Artist: DER TPK Title: Harmful Emotions Format: LP Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $16.00 |

"DER TPK is the charming acronym for DER TEENAGE PANZER KORPS, and anyone who cant appreciate the imagery of a pipsqueak quartet of fuzzy, distorted youth, drenched in DIY testosterone, rumbling out from sewers and into the street, just hasnt been vibing on the correct History Channel. Based outta parts unknown (Germany? California? Is there a difference?), Der TPK gnash and gnarl through the charred landscape of the underground like a small battalion of Tiger tanks blasting across the steppes of the Ukraine. Their sonic attack at times recalls the anxious throb of Mars in their prime, but suddenly it shifts and you could swear you were locked in battle with-uh, listening to, that is-the early discordant rumble of Savage Republic. These four youths-BUNKER WOLF, CATHOLIC PAT, BOY TRUE and EDMUND XAVIER-understand they are channeling a vortex of sound, circa 79-81. Thats where they wanna be. The walls shake, the floor crawls. Hey, whatta place! And really, how could comparisons to Mars and Savage Republic ever be a bad thing? Has Siltbreeze ever lied to you? Limited, one-time-only vinyl edition. Previous releases on Skulltones and Pink Skulls (via Jewelled Antler Collective) are out-of-print and mega-rare." - Siltbreeze.

"If you havent heard Bob Despers New Sounds yet, you may have heard something about it. Originally recorded in 1974, New Sounds is considered to be one of the Pacific Northwests best-kept secrets, a regional Holy Grail with copies fetching upwards of $1000. Until recently, not much was known about this mysterious blind folk-singer from Oregon. In 2007, Discourage Records located Bob Desper, alive and well, living in Albany, Oregon. After two years of culling materials, Discourage Records is proud and honored to officially reissue this once lost masterpiece. Evoking the melancholy mood of Nick Drake, the fluid improvisation of Van Morrisons Astral Weeks, and the intricate instrumentation of Jose Gonzales, New Sounds dark, meditative urgency immediately transcends the thirty-five years marking its original release. This official reissue of New Sounds includes Bob Despers 1972 debut 7", Dry Up Those Tears (including picture sleeve); an 11 x 17 insert with extensive liner notes and full color photos; and 1970s style tip-on sleeve." -Discourage

The publication contains all six published issues as well as a seventh �lost� issue and is 278 pages. Destroy All Monsters was a Detroit-area band and collective that was formed in 1973. Its initial members were Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Niagara, and Jim Shaw. Destroy All Monsters were art students and musicians who used performance art tactics to create noise music that evolved out of influences like Sun Ra, Nico, horror movie soundtracks, and local bands like MC5 and The Stooges. The band later took on new members and briefly reunited in the 90s. Destroy All Monsters Magazine�was edited by Cary Loren and contained artwork, photographs, and flyers from Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Niagara, and Jim Shaw. Printed using any papers and techniques available to the band, the issues combine the cut and paste tactics of punk zines with a psychedelic affinity for color.�Destroy All Monsters Magazine�functions as a kind of manifesto, providing insight into the band through densely layered pages with movie imagery, kitsch, cartoons, delicate drawings, and counter-culture collages. While�Destroy All Monsters�has been the subject of recent exhibitions and partial reprints, this is the first time that all issues have been reprinted." -Primary Information. |

A melted mind, reconstructed with duct-tape, bent circuits, saxophone drips, and fuzz that will lead you into dark corners with bright futures. DOUBLE SEXTET was lost for 35 years; witness the (re)birth with this incredible LP. 2-track 12-inch record with cover art designed by Mike Kelley!" - Printed Matter

| CD reissue of the first (of two) self released albums put out by Eddy Detroit (his third album would come out many years later on Majora, Jungle Captive, in 1997. Very exotic cult folk and primitive rock album, led by the irrepressible vocal presence of Eddy. "A reissue of more material from the early 80s Phoenix underground music scene, contemporary with Paris 1942; this time none other than the first LP by Eddy Detroit... this was self released in 1982 and has been pretty impossible to find for quite a few years. Featuring an all star lineup including Mary and Dan Clark (Victory Acres), Charlie Gocher and Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls), James Verlaine (aka J. Akkari from Paris 1942) and others, this has turned out to be one of my favorite records documenting a scene I pissed away a whole lot of my just barely post adolescence loitering in and around." - Nick Schultz. |

Artist: DETROIT, EDDY Title: Immortal Gods Format: LP Label: Assophon Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Eddy Detroit is an underground legend. He was a key fixture in the fertile Phoenix, AZ scene of the early 80s (that included such luminaries as the Meat Puppets, Sun City Girls, Maybe Mental, Feederz, JFA etc.). Immortal Gods was the first release on his Pan Records label (his second LP, Philosophers Journey would be the only other). Both records were privately released in miniscule editions, are now and have been rather difficult to obtain for many years, ensuring them as holy grails for collectors of the exotic, cult, folk, beat, punk, and outsider rock musical canon. Immortal Gods was recorded and released in 1982. It features Alan Bishop and Charles Gocher (Sun City Girls), Dan and Mary Clark (Feederz/Victory Acres), Jesse Srgoncik (aka James Verlaine aka J. Akkari from Paris 1942, which featured the Velvet Undergrounds drummer Moe Tucker), and Brandon and Audrey Curtis backing Eddy and his African, voodoo, Hitchcock musical vision. It is a timeless masterpiece. The LP jacket cover is quite possibly the apex in outsider photography and demented vision. It features Eddy and a lady friend (a woman he picked up for the cover shot because she had the bone structure he was looking for) on horseback with Eddy holding his head in his outstretched hand. A perfect vision for the music contained within. Assophon Records is proud to present this album in its original format for the current generation to tango with." - Assophon. Highly recommended! |

Artist: DEUTSCH, ANDREW Title: Electronic Garden Format: CD Label: Anomalous Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "In his assessment of music, philosopher and mystic Rudolf Stiener attributes a major part of human perception to the experience of the ethereal body. The ethereal body is a form unknown to (so called) normal consciousness. It is obscured by worldly tasks and the experiences of everyday life. The ethereal body is only fully experienced during sleep, where it emerges slowly in stages over the course of the evening. Once awakened, the ethereal bodies primary experiences is of light and tone and of being engulfed by a shimmering delicate tonal atmosphere. When the worldly body awakens the ethereal body returns again to obscurity, diminished by daily routine. However, when in our daily routine and if we give time to it, we come in contact with music, or certain kinds of images or art, the ethereal body is touched, awakened inside the worldly body. This is why we are sometimes moved to emotion by music or images. The ethereal body is awakened within us and experienced by our worldly body. Flowers open within us, a garden of experiences and emotion emerge and we can not help but yield to the needs of the ethereal body and its sensations. Stiener proposes that a well balanced person is one who experiences the worldly body and ethereal body at the same time on a daily basis. Listening to music and an involvement with art may be the only ways to establish this balance and unity, therefore, as suggested by Joseph Beuys we must expand the practice of art into every aspect of culture - especially daily routine. Electronic Garden is a series of sound works constructed using broken music boxes, ring modulators and frequency shifters, I call these electro-mechanical loops. My interest in these works first developed out of early experiments with analog and digital tape loops and later extended into music boxes. Music boxes are mechanical loops set into motion via spring compression and consequently have the character of winding down as they play. This compositional unfolding is most delightful as it destroys the often gebrauchsmusik quality of music box melodies. To further destroy this music of the home I explored the possibilities of working exclusively with broken music boxes as their melodic structures would be readymade destroyed. Further, they often squeaked, squabbled, and burped as they played. Additional deconstructions were performed with electronics. I have made hundreds of these little compositions and the practice of making them occupies the greatest degree of my free time. Electronic Garden contains a special contribution by Sawako Kato of Japan. Exchanging files via mail and conversing through e-mail, Sawako reconstructed parts of Electronic Garden resulting in 2 new tracks which Deutsch later combined for release on Electronic Garden. the cover images for this CD were inspired by the notebooks and field drawings of book artist John Wood. Each CD of this edition contains a hand made watercolor accented with gold leaf and his hand signed along with a photographic fragment verso." - Andrew Deutsch. |

Founded by legendary counter-culture figure Mick Farren and Russell Hunter and inspired by The Fugs, the Deviants were first of the anarchic groups to emerge from the Ladbroke Grove area of London.

"Started in the ashes of the post-industrial scene of San Francisco and continuing onwards until his final performance in 1986, Deviation Social became a obscure cult phenomenon to followers of industrial tape culture of the 1980s. Only self releasing his recordings through his Ppresence label, the Deviation Social output was limited to a handful of tapes (some being less than 20 copies) and one sole 7", all of which fetch $$$ through collectors markets today. This limited release on Dais collects all of Deviation Socials contributions to experimental/noise/industrial cassette compilations throughout the early 80s on such notable labels as Vita Nova, Aeon, Beyond The Pale, and Another Room. Primitive, raw, and powerful....Deviation Social drew on influences & contemporaries such as Throbbing Gristle, SPK and Leather Nun but fused a experimental approach of musique concrete and crude experimentation using analog synthesizers, hollowed drum machines and tribal instruments allowing him to sporadically, at will, create some of the most interesting and unabashed industrial recordings the genre has created. Limited to 500 copies and includes a 8-page LP booklet with original linear notes by Deviation Social and archival zine interviews republished for the first time since their publication." - Dais.

Artist: DEVILS KITCHEN Title: Devils Kitchen Format: LP Label: Lysergic Sound Distributors Country: USA Price: $24.00 |
| "The first ever release by Devils Kitchen, perhaps the best of the greatly talented but forgotten bands from the legendary San Francisco psychedelic scene of the late 1960s. Devils Kitchen played all the major venues in the Bay Area and Los Angeles during this time period, opening for and playing frequently with many very well-known bands, including The Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Santana, Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Allman Brothers, Big Brother And The Holding Company with Janis, The Charlatans and many, many others. The band spurned a recording contract offer from Mercury Records in 1968, displeased with the lack of creative control offered them by the label. Consequently, they never released any recordings. There are eight original unreleased tracks on this album and all were taken from the original master tapes that were recorded in 1969 at the Family Dog Ballroom On The Great Highway in San Francisco and the Sierra Sound Recording Studio in Berkeley. The music has a great and unmistakable late 60s acid-drenched West Coast guitar-driven blues-psych sound with snaky electric slide and roaring fuzz guitar throughout. The discovery of these master tapes and this subsequent release of Devils Kitchens first full length album, more than forty years after the recordings were made, is an exciting find for the collectors of obscure 60s psychedelia. How a great band like this remained under the radar and unreleased for all these years is mystifying. Limited pressing of 1000 hand-numbered copies. Includes a reproduction of Family Dog handbill from March, 1970, featuring Big Brother & The Holding Company, Kaleidoscope and Devils Kitchen. Welcome again to the great San Francisco sound of the late 1960s." - Lysergic Sound Distributors. |

Artist: DIAMANTE, HERB Title: May I Light Your Cigarette? Format: CD Label: Abduction Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "This debut release from the mysterious Herb Diamante will transport you on a naughty journey through his speakeasy of debauchery and sin. These eleven tracks of alcohol, tobacco, and desire are driven by his rich, golden voice atop a psychedelic showroom of sound. Herb Diamante is perhaps the most unique lounge singer around. He sings songs about eggplants, yellow kazoos, and delicate stilettos. Then, hell "hail the fish-king" and finish you off with "a wasp in a jam jar." The elusive Englishman has finally allowed himself to be documented amidst a career built of legendary "word of mouth" appearances on both sides of the Atlantic. A long, tragic set of strange circumstances and sporadic insanity has somehow combined to create Herbs extended and sometimes frighteningly vivid hallucinatory universe. However, he remains a hopeless romantic and will forever pursue his difficult and evasive vision." - Abduction. |

Artist: DIE TODLICHE DORIS Title: Gehörlose Musik Format: DVD Label: Edition Krothenhayn Country: Germany Price: $62.00 |
| "During the years 1980-87, German trio Die Tödliche Doris was absolutely legendary in the Berlin underground music and art scene. Embodying the pure, obscure spirit of "neue deutsche welle," their releases and live shows revealed a raw post-punk sensibility with performance art. Die Todliche Doris are still widely considered one of the most radical, intelligent and influential German avantgarde bands of the last two decades. Now this DVD brings the music of the legendary, long unavailable LP Gehörlose Musik from 1981 back to life -- in the guise of gestures, signs, interaction and movement. Each DVD is hand-numbered and available only in a limited edition of 1,000 -- once gone, will be gone forever. In November 1998, Wolfgang Müller, founder of Die Tödliche Doris, decided to re-release the bands sought-after and long unavailable first vinyl LP. However, not as sound, but as a gesture: sign language interpreters Dina Tabbert and Andrea Schulz translated and reshaped the lyrics and music of the album using nothing but signs and gestures. The result of this transmutation is a "soundless" music, expressed entirely within and through the body. Many hearing-impaired people -- and an equal amount of those who could hear just fine -- made their way to the Prater at the Berliner Volksbühne to witness this process as part of a series of events called Gehörlose Musik (music for the deaf or "soundless music"), initiated by "Freunde guter Musik" (friends of good music). And the result is no dance, no performance, no music -- it constitutes a new form of art defying conventional definition. The DVD can be played in sign language option, or music option and also contains an interview with Wolfgang Müller as well as a 24-page booklet with writing and photographs. Comes encased in a slip-lid box with banderole. Format: DVD 5; Language: German; Subtitle: German/English; Format: NTSC, 4:3, Region: 0; Time: ca. 60 min. Booklet: 48 pages, German/English." - Edition Krothenhayn. 2006 release. |

"A warehouse find brought this rare LP from 1986. The Tšdliche Doris ended their musical career with a live record. Listening to the record, one notices how the sound becomes worse from piece to piece. The reason for this is not the bad quality of the recordings, but a deliberate concept: The group played each piece live only once. For subsequent concerts the Tšdliche Doris used the original recording as a playback, to which they feigned. This was in turn recorded with the applause and sounds of the respective audience. This process was repeated several times, so that by the last piece of this layer cake on can hear the sound of seven auditoriums at the same time. The original music exits only as a distorted and blurred noise in the background." - Reinhard Wilhelmi.

"Early eighties sound-project and conceptual work from 1984 also known as Gerry Belz. Worlds of music ringed out on our planet. Simultaneously blown out, not attuned but still tuned incidentally, partly at on purpose. In 1984, Die Tödliche Doris was given the chance for such a coincidence of two different worlds. They were invited to compose the music for a fashion-show in the Deplane Kunsthalle Berlin. For the first time, this fully documented composition consists of 24 Audiotapes with sounds and music-recordings which were recorded and then played with different technically defect tape-recorders and which were accompanied of the band Gerry-Belz-Showband which has been selected from the employment-office in Berlin. The repertoire of the three olderly men did consist of the usually well-known evergreens of entertainment and light-music.
Die Tödliche Doris is sometimes referred to an industrial-band. In fact, the group has played and cooperated with SPK and Twin Vision. If there is any music of the band which can be referred to Industrial, then it is this project here, which was only released in certain pieces to this point." - Vinyl-On-Demand.

Or you could go back to the UK and talk about Sarah Records, though there⿿s often something weirder woven into the compositions.

Artist: DIJKSTRA, RAYMOND Title: Affen-Theater Format: LP Box Set Label: Le Souffleur Country: Netherlands Price: $45.00 |
|
"While exploring various territories of sound Raymond Dijkstra has
released recordings under the names Ki Sync Pulse, Razoul Uzlu and
Dadaphon, as well as being part of Indra Karmuka and Asra. Having
passed through these phases he finally settled on releasing music
under his own name. Published by himself only on vinyl releases,
Raymond makes the format fit his music, some times only using one
side of the disc for music rather than matching it with a piece which
had no connection. On this latest LP we are presented an automatic
[in the sense that the Surrealists understood this word] suite in two
pieces. This distilled work of less than one-half hour shows to our
ears the mysterious workings of an imaginary space. taking the title
of the album, "Affen-Theater" [which translates as "Monkey Theater"],
as a jumping off point, one might envision a secretive performance
wherein creatures go about their actions - twisting, turning,
stacking and otherwise moving around in curious actions. Not really
creating music but a theater of aural actions, the nature of which
remains impenetrable. This is accomplished through the use and abuse
of various acoustic instruments and their coloration through a
minimal amount of electronic processing. The simple nature and the
interjection of space in the various layers of squeaks, bumps, scraps
and wheezes gives the result of an unhurried density, one created
through the agent of various hands, not cold machines. Being a
rather personal music, this music is released in only a
small edition." - Eric Lanzillotta.
"Affen-Theater is about delusions in a closed-off world. Claustrophobic,
cyclic and delusionary, it deals with recurring mental states.
Filmic and contemplative, it is both distant and personal.
Its like sitting at a table. You are looking at the table. While looking,
the table seems 50 meters away, yourself being very small.
You know youre watching from close by, but your eyes say differently.
Or it is like waking up. The atmosphere is both calm and hectic. The air is
charged with emotions. Actions dont seem to fit. It goes to slow and to
fast at the same time. It wrings in a utterly unpleasant way. You try to
release yourself from this torment. You walk around, make some tea, but you
cannot free yourself. When you sit completely still the atmosphere rushes
through you. When you walk around, you go to fast for the slowed down
surrounding. It has nothing to do with hallucinations stemming from
the use of drugs.
More with self-induced mental states wherein delusions spontaneously occur."
-Raymond Dijkstra.
Packaged in a black linen covered, wooden slipcase with debossed gold print. Edition of 120. One of the more stunning packages ive seen. Yet another highly recommended release from one of my favorite European labels!

"For the superficial listener (for whom this is certainly not produced) what Dijkstra does may sound the same. Like say a guitarist he uses his instrument: on Das Schöne a table played with glass and an echo unit. A reduction that is in various way. Before he used an organ too, more electronics. Thats one difference. But here he also plays with silence. He plays for maybe twenty second shrieking sounds, fed through echo and then there is silence, in which nothing happens. Sometimes these silences are longer than the actual music. It leaves the listener in nothing less but a state of confusion. To the annoyed, who think: is this it? Is the record over? But to the more careful listeners, he builds great tension - the strongest line between silence and sound. The other new LP is more along the lines of the previous ones, the glass sounds, organ/harmonium and echo unit at work. There are strong similarities between all of these works, but its the smaller details that these works do differ from each other.

| "Perhaps our most beloved outsider in experimental music. Raymond Dijkstra never ceases to amaze me. De Schroef (the screw) is his biggest edition so far (I think), limited to 200 copies. Thats not the only change here. The music is ten pieces of maybe one minute to 90 seconds, ending in a silent lock groove and with lots of blank space in between those pieces. Meaning you have to get up to place the stylus into the next piece. Most odd. It doesnt end there. Each of the pieces seems to be a variation on the same theme. An organ/harmonium sound, scraping of glass; all done rapidly. But the proceedings are short and one is left to think its the same thing, but perhaps its not. Thats the great thing about releases by Raymond Dijkstra. It leaves an endless amount of thinking about it. Is it same, or different? Why is it cut like this? Poetry. I think Dijkstra offers us sound poetry. Without words, but these ten poems are variations on a few sounds. It will surely annoy a few listeners, but no doubt the true fans of Dijkstra - count me in there - are amazed. Once again. The great outsider." - FdWard(Vital). |

"The previous LP Affen-Theater was packed in hardcover box and so is this new CDR, which seems to me also music-wise a continuation of Affen-Theater. Seven tracks (now that is something odd for him), which are relatively short (odd!), but contain the similar sound elements as before: scratching the surface, most likely glass with metal objects, a harmonium, and some sound effects, mainly echo. Everything stays on a similar sound level through the piece. By itself these are probably highly annoying, but when played/placed all together they start making sense. Small patterns are formed, giving a sort of a hallucinating feel to the music. This is the kind of drone music that certainly adds something new to the notion of drone. Not endless patterns of treated guitars, synths or field recordings, but electro-acoustic music played very tightly. The previous Affen-Theater was announced here as the strongest release by Dijkstra so far and in that respect Der Triumph (I must admit I keep wondering about his love of German titles) doesnt surpass that one, but extends its beauty to this release." - FdW-Vital Music.

"Its perhaps no big secret that I am a big fan of the work of Raymond Dijkstra, and maybe reviewing all of his previous work, entitled me to a copy of each of this: a big black wooden box with golden text, in an edition of merely 100 copies - the preprogrammed art item or well calculated collectors item? (You decide). Times three. Crouton released a big wooden box, while Dijkstras Le Souffleur label releases two LPs at the same time in a linen hardcover box with debossed and gold print, like his previous Affen-Theater (see Vital Weekly 479). Sound wise Dijkstra continues the road he choose now for a while. A while ago I saw him in concert,with Timo van Luyck, with whom he has an ongoing collaboration, and their set up is very simple. An ancient loop echo, a small table and a small bunch of objects that are played on the table, like glass, knives, forks and wood. On Maskenstilleben Dijkstra continues this. Somewhere in the back there are the disharmonious drone like chords he plays, seemingly at random, whereas in the foreground there are scrapings and scratching of the surface, which are fed through the ancient echo machine (which, to be honest, could have been a little less). Perhaps the use of echo makes this electro-acoustic music, but its merely a deception to call it like that. This is acoustic music in optima forma and one of a highly original kind. Composition? Not of great interest for Dijkstra. Structure? Nope. Being part of a scene? Which one, or in fact is there one? Not for Dijkstra. He claims to work best in strict isolation, building up the pressure and
when he plays his music, he releases his pressure. Inside his closed system (both mentally and in the real world), he derives the sounds which he likes, plays them ad infinitum, without beginning or end. This is noise music, but stepped outside the relatively known genre of overload. This is improvisation, but not as we knew it. Total outsider music, as its hard to come across Dijkstra, who hardly plays concerts. Not part of the serious music world, the underground noise scene, microsound or the laptop flock, he persists very much in his world. "Releasing my work I only do for metaphysical reasons; to keep all psychic and physical channels open, and maintaining a healthy system. It is not much more then relieving yourself in the toilet", he says. I hardly see anything more beautiful, both music and package wise, coming from relieving yourself in the toilet (the analogy is a bit lost on me, but then I am an outsider to his world). The differences between the three LPs is not very big. Normally it could result in me nagging about that, but in the case of Dijkstra you can only see the purity by which he works. We hardly complain about people using guitars and drums, so why should we complain about Dijkstra using objects like glass and metal? Its not the same song repeated three times. Each is genuinely different from the previous or the following record. The instruments remain the same, the composition remains the same, yet, like a good monochrome painting, the differences are in the detail. Die Sonne I thought was a bit more minimal than the other two, more sparse, while Maskenstilleben was a bit more dense, and Die Wille, although close to Die Sonne fell sort of in between the two. After a bunch of self-released records, the release for Crouton may open more doors for Dijkstra, and probably he doesnt care, but at least the public should care. Three great LPs, by all means, although Art (big A in place) doesnt come cheap." - FdW/Vital Weekly. "LP in linen hardcover box with debossed and gold printing, edition of 100 copies."

Artist: DIJKSTRA, RAYMOND Title: L Opus Ch Format: LP Label: Le Souffleur Country: Netherlands Price: $86.00 |
| "Perhaps a lengthy introduction, but please bear with me. On Friday 27 March 2009 Extrapool Nijmegen staged another one of their "Audiotoop" evenings. The idea of Audiotoop is that artists from various disciplines create a radio play especially composed for the evening of the performance. This Audiotoop saw a performance of Edward Ka-spel and Silverman (of the Legendary Pink Dots) who staged spoken word pieces with added soundscapes created by Silverman. Quite wonderful. After their performance ASRA was next; a collaboration between Timo van Luijk and Raymond Dijkstra. I was really looking forward to their performance as I hold both musicians in high esteem. The stage was scattered with a lot of small acoustic instruments, a piano and a tuba. Together they performed the best live set I have heard in a long time. Beautiful, spacious music with respect for all individual sounds and both performers. The reason for this introduction is the fact that that night I bought the new Raymond Dijkstra LP Lopus CH. Another reason is that when I came home and played the record the following day, something of the magic of that performance appeared to be also etched in the grooves of this record. I have all Raymond Dijkstra LPs so I know his music well. For un-initiated ears his records might sound "all the same", but that is not the case. His music carefully and gradually develops and Dijkstra documents this process in his records. Interestingly enough this works well. Lopus CH (attractively packed in a handmade cover; made of old newspaper fragments stuck to the cover) is a new step in Dijkstras development. The instruments used on this album include piano and tuba amongst his more regular set up. More relaxed, more open than ever this is one of my favorite records from the past few months. Not just a record for those "in the know", but certainly one for everyone who appreciates beautiful music. As only 50 copies were pressed, I suggest a certain haste in contacting his label Le Souffleur." - Freek Kinkelaar (Vital). "Handpainted / collaged recordsleeves. Handwritten numbered 1-50.

Artist: DIJKSTRA, RAYMOND Title: L Opus Ch Format: LP Label: Le Souffleur Country: Netherlands Price: $26.00 |
| "Since 2003 Dutch painter, musician and sculptor Raymond Dijkstra has put out more than 40 releases on his Le Souffleur label, in a range of formats (LP, 10", 7", 5", and 3" vinyl), under his own name and a variety of pseudonyms (Ki Sync Pulse, Razoul ÿzlü, Dadaphon). All are very limited art editions, whose sleeves feature his drawing and painting, and are priced accordingly. Dijkstras lack of profile and insistence on working in isolation make it tempting to classify his work as a form of outsider art. He has certainly evolved an unusual and relatively unique approach. The few of his albums Ive been able to hear sound like nothing else around - organ loops, metal scrapings and string scratchings are crafted through insistent repetition and crude manipulations into totally self-contained and obsessively insular soundworlds. Lopus Ch and De Fazant are his two most recent releases. The more substantial Lopus Ch serves up two sidelong tracks, both primitive improvisational collages, at times indistinguishable from each other. A small range of sounds is repeatedly distressed, forced into meandering, circular patterns, with little in the way of development or progression - unidentifiable tinny scrapings are filtered through echo and delay effects while what sound like a pump organ creakily chunters away in the background. Like much of Dijkstras music, its at once futile and profound." -Nick Cain (The Wire). Edition of 300, with poster. |

Artist: DIJKSTRA, RAYMOND Title: L Opus LH Format: LP Label: Dekorder Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |
| "Dutch artist/musician Raymond Dijkstra is one of the most radical and original composers around today. With a clear DIY ethos and self-imposed restrictions he has created a singular universe all by himself. In the past 7 years he has (self-)released countless LPs, 7" , 5" & 3" Vinyl releases in very tiny editions on his Le Souffleur label, all packaged in carefully edited artworks made by Dijkstra himself. ⿿LOpus LH" will be one of his first widely available releases since 2003s collaboration with Timo van Luijk (Af Ursin, Noise Makers Fifes, In Camera, Nurse With Wound) as Asra. Dijkstra is using a minimal set-up for all of his compositions: harmonium, scraping metal & glass, and, exclusively to his "Opus" cycle the addition of tuba, strings and audio effects. Hes exploring these small parameters in an improvised and highly personal, often trance-like, ecstatic setting comparable to "Automatic Writing" or "Surrealist Automatism" techniques. By offensively restricting and repeating his methods he is able to profoundly explore the depths of the particular sounds and, not least, of the player/composers psyche itself. "LOpus LH" is the second title in Dijkstras series "The Advantages of Schizophrenia". "All my work is highly autobiographical, highly subjective and highly emotional. In this sense my work is the complete opposite of that from most musicmakers out of the experimental corner whos work is mostly without any emotion. The reason for me making music is to strenghten my connection with life. For me my music is not experimental, simply because it was Never made to experiment. There is a bit of a problem with most experimental musicians, who are mostly only touching the surface of a subject after which they go beyond to find another experiment. I feel more connected to painters and sculptors who delve deep into the subject and explore it thoroughly, going into every possible direction, to really connect with their world. Even more interesting I find it when one connects with ones own genuine personal world. Just to come home to his self, instead of going out for a journey, what experimenting often is."

Artist: DIJKSTRA, RAYMOND Title: Untermensch Lieder Format: 7" Label: Le Souffleur Country: Netherlands Price: $18.00 |
| "The name Raymond Dijkstra may not be sparkling alive, but the man has been around for some time, and he has released many works, under his own name, aswell as Dadaphon, Razoul Uzlu, Ki Sync Pulse, Asra (a duo with Af Ursin) and at one point one-third Indra Karmuka. On this 7" he doesnt return to the noise work he released before under his own name, but rather continues paths taken by the work as Dadaphon: amplifying objects, layering them and making a collage out of it. On the a-side there is the scratch of glass on metal sound in the foreground and osbscure, semi-percussive rumbling in the back. Similar scratch is on the b-side but the percussive element is louder here. Not dissimilar to Organum, Raymond Dijkstra however likes his sounds to be free of any electronic treatment, rather keeping in close contact with the original sounds. The treatments are played and not generated. A rather solitary voice in this kind of music. Should appeal to more people than it does by the name and thats a pity.

Artist: DILLOWAY & JASON LESCALLEET, AARON Title: Grapes and Snakes Format: LP Label: Pan Country: UK Price: $27.00 |
| "Grapes and Snakes is the first collaborative work of two of the most respected American underground experimental/noise artists, Aaron Dilloway and Jason Lescalleet. Using purely analog synths and tape manipulation, they build a foggy psychoacoustic mass that lies between dynamic yet patiently treated tape-music and industrial howl. Aaron Dilloway has been releasing and recording music since the age of 16. He was a member of experimental bands Couch, Galen and Universal Indians. He is a former guitarist and tape manipulator for the experimental band Wolf Eyes, which he left in 2005 to live most of that year in Kathmandu, Nepal. While his wife did her graduate work there, he roamed the streets recording every sound he could, many of which are used in his recent recordings and performances. Currently he runs the noise record label, record store and mailorder Hanson Records, which he began in Brighton, Michigan in 1994. Hanson then moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan for several years, before finally settling in Oberlin, Ohio, after a brief return to Ann Arbor. He performs solo using eight track tapes and vocal sounds, and records modular synthesizer music as Spine Scavenger. Recently, he has played with an ever-changing cast of sound artists under the name The Nevari Butchers. Jason Lescalleets sound world occupies a space between noise, contemporary composition, and minimal electronics. Using decidedly primitive tactics and equipment (e.g. antiquated reel-to-reel recorders, damaged tape, etc.), his work focuses on extreme frequencies and microscopic audio detail. Hes been a member of Due Process, performed and recorded with Keith Rowe, Joe Colley, Jason Kahn, John Hudak, Bhob Rainey and Greg Kelley (both separately and as Nmperign), and most recently Graham Lambkin in their Breadwinner project which has yielded unprecedented and glorious results in the electroacoustic music of today. He lives and works in the state of Maine. The LP is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, pressed on 140 gram vinyl and it is packaged in a pro-press color jacket which itself is housed in a silkscreened PVC sleeve with artwork by Kathryn Politis & Bill Kouligas. Aaron Dilloway (synth and tapes); Jason Lescalleet (synth, tapes, and Dell XPS)." -Pan. |

What the fuck is that? Its a lake filled with witch urine, the real scary type. Three parts expired turpentine, two parts glow-in-the-dark ghost pee & the murky rest filled the reel to reel scrape dust from a light-free candled basement. The soundtrack? This Brighton-born-alien-bird-celled-creature, Aaron Dilloway. Dudes intense, but drunk in a moldy cellar you can tip him upside down to get the change he owes you. Awesome sounds/primitive shit that smart types try to capture in academic wooden hideaways but end up sounding like Paul K & Weathermen. He is for real. These tracks lead to goblin hell that is a broken train built on years of instinct, beer, horror & intimacy. His tape & electronic work is nearly peerless, save for Santa Claus Black Gnome label cassette catalog. Pumping this serious Michigan shit on a half-mooned night will result in your blood planning a meeting to infect your brain with a mock party of jellied-filled balloons that when popped, turn your sanity into a maggot feeding frenzy while singing backwards to a Pepsi half-time ad. Seriously! These transparent audio diaries have been originally released in different forms. Who cares? Count your fingers instead. In life you have two choices: Stop and Be Rad or Stop Being Rad. Aaron Night Fighter Dills been doing his own thing since shorts were baggy & Stephen King was the master musician of horror. Be happy you have two rare boys in one bomb package. Spend the rest of your heart-blood pumping time searching for the third Los Tammies wax while getting to the bottom of Boggs Vol. 2 human tape message time eating symphonies. A one-man stereo Desert Barn Stormer. The only & best people person of horrible noise. I should know, I have been in nearly every possible good & bad situation with him from rock fights, underage beer blowouts, and 13 years in basements. A mangy man of many talents, hear the one in your claw-fist then check out our funk band Stupid Goose. You can wave at the UPS guy but he is still gonna deliver a box of razor babies to you. Local hip hop? Will take Rock Bottom over Slum Village any day of the week, hes just .. I dunno ... harder...." -- John Olson. |

"Pirates In Care of the BEING Dilloway, Tapes, and Delay: Pirates, Rotten Teeth, and Treasure. All go hand in hook hand. AAARRGGHHHHHHH! This new platter by Rad Dad Dilloway is full of buried gold, or rather tape heads covered in used ancient kitty litter, whose decoded message leads you to the audio gold pit hidden deep within the tape loops. Chain Shot is my inzano pick of the thick Dillo discography. Its way relaxed and weirdo. I mean, if you cut a circle-ish shape out of wood from a haunted pirate boat, tied a human bonechain around it and dragged it on the surface of the ocean around the world four times, buried into hot sand for 1000 years and then stuck it on your turntable... it wouldnt sound any different. Chain Shot is an oddity cause the tapes provide the pacing, you tell by the woodpecker attack (or a pirate tapping against glass before they raid your peaceful vessel) near the middle section of side one and the ENDLESS churning loop at the end of Execution Dock. Add a dash of Thighbone Horn wail here and there, find the rarest homemade mixers and loop machines from 1943 and the recipe could be this LP which is also known as THREE MEDIATIONS FOR THREE TAPE LOOPS WITHIN SLO MIND. After jamming this mutha a bunch, I found it fit well into a lot of house-moods: i.e., vacuuming, sewing, power doodle sessions, convincing your spouse there aint magic gremlins who clean the house while she sleeps the day away, candle burning, shit-everything. Could this be a mature Dilloway? Hell gnaw, this sound disc is still teetering on a restless energy ocean -- just mad focused and... simple... direct... like a checking account based on pirate bones and jugs of fermented PEE WINE. Chain Shot has a lot of depth to it -- its as much DROLL YANKEE as it is BLACK GNOME... shit, I can easily file this wax in my environments/CBS Library/machine sound/rail road noise/animal sounds/nature LP section (which is AS BIG as Dilloways, if you take out the military boot camp sound section) and it would fit right in. Its a BOAT OCEAN LURKING FRIGHTMARE LP. Like when a crazy old boat goes on some crazy old mission and it get frozen in the ocean near the North Pole, the crew runs outta food and sees nutzo ICE PIRATES circling the ship slowly in the freezing mist. Close your eyes, let your rat mind take off on its own weirdo adventure. Im mad stoked this Dilloway LP is pressed on wax forever, cause now that quicksand is extinct apparently... I can still just jam Execution Dock at 4:00 AM on a lonely winter night and sink slowly in the MSG-ridden HISS crawling within the rotten grooves... and disappear without a trace. FOUR STARS AND AN EYE PATCH!!!" - Coorz The Spartan. Restock of this 2008 release.

Artist: DILLOWAY, AARON Title: Chain Shot Format: CD Label: Hanson Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "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 groups 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 nuts conversation with a lamppost. In the distance sounds a pained song of sorts, like a rodents death cry, or maybe its birth one. Im 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/ DIGIPAK CD reissue of my CHAIN SHOT LP which was originally released on LP by THRONE HEAP.

Artist: DIMINISHED MEN Title: Capnomancy Format: LP Label: Abduction Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "By distorting hard-boiled film music through a cracked, overcast lens, Diminished Men refocus their influences into something entirely unique. Capnomancy, their second release on the Abduction label, is a collection of stark, exotic instrumentals full of high-tension energy and infected terror. Cloaked in a supernatural fog and man-made electrical storms, chiaroscuro landscapes read like a sci-fi postcard with a giallo ransom note attached. The bands jagged, hard-charging approach evokes images of slit jugulars and accelerated heart rates, all the while swathing you in a blissful claustrophobia, reflecting elements of Morricones dissonant horror scores, gritty noir cues, and the bloodshot nerves of a kratom-hazed Link Wray. Distant, searing guitars and pummeling drums seep with slow-pan derangement, panicked suspense and clouded 50s Americana delusion. The smoke clears and reveals a mirage of melancholy Wenders-esque backdrops and AM radio nightmares, but quickly returns to some other world that it came from. The final album to be released from his now-defunct Aleph Studio, producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Earth, Secret Chiefs 3, Wolves In The Throne Room, etc.) contributes greatly with his visceral, heavy production, making this album their darkest offering yet. Another bizarre series of degenerate no-hit wonders from the phantom guitars of Steve Schmitt, drummer Dave Abramson and multi-instrumentalist Simon Henneman. Capnomancy features guest appearances from members of Master Musicians Of Bukkake as well as other Northwest delinquents, saxophonist Skerik and vocalist Sara Johanne. Extremely limited edition of 400 LP copies." -Abduction. |

Artist: DIMINISHED MEN Title: Shadow Instrumentals Format: LP Label: Abduction Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| Seattles Diminished Men present a full-length record for the Abduction label. This LP is a limited edition of 500 copies and comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. "If current instrumental music was always as majestic and compelling as this, Id hang up my retro-Italian soundtrack collectors boots for good. From the explosive drums rolls on the opening track, the only cover on the record, "LAppel du Vere," from Roman Polanskis The Tenant (music by Philippe Sarde), to the darkly exotic finale, "A Housewifes Dram," this album is a superbly crafted mosaic of whip-cracking vengeance, speak-easy hallucinations and haunted geography. Besides the Italian-Western overtones, the carnival-esque freakshow backdrops, Korshid-Egyptian guitar passages, and flipped-out electronic space-psych, are perhaps the best surf-inspired tracks Ive heard in years. Its spine-chilling how producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Earth, Eyvind Kang, Sun City Girls, Secret Chiefs 3, Six Organs Of Admittance, Wayne Horvitz, Matt Chamberlain, Grails, Wolves In The Throne Room, etc.) managed to make this record the ultimate mid-60s surf-vampire-Western revival soundtrack. Elements of Joe Meeks best Moontrekkers productions cross with a dash of Badalamenti murder blues-drama, setting the stage for Steve Schmitts cobra-twilight guitar work and the outlaw drums of Dave Abramson to leave their indelible stains across this 41-minute epic journey." - Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls). |

Artist: DIMLITE Title: My Human Wears Acedia Shreds Format: 10" Label: Now-Again Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "If Dimlites Prismic Tops EP served as a stunning reintroduction to one of electronic musics most underrated talents, then My Human Wears Acedia Shreds is a warning to listeners and peers alike: keep up or be left behind. This quartet of songs finds the Swiss producer creating wide-eyed and progressive music that synthesizes free jazz, prog- and Krautrock, and much more. There is no one else quite on his level, no one who inhabits a world so complete and unique. While he built his reputation with a string of pioneering releases on Germanys Sonar Kollectiv label that took hip-hop as their starting point, these days Dimlite is more Soft Machine than drum machine, a kindred spirit of purveyors of avant-pop such as Panda Bear, and the playful prog giants of the past. This quartet of songs contains a richness that makes these his most satisfying compositions yet. Just check Metal Snake Rider, an expansive opus packed into just over three minutes of non-stop invention." -Now-Again |

"Dimmers Remissions is the second full-length album from longtime sonic architects of interactive feedback circuits, Thomas Dimuzio and Joseph Hammer. This 2xLP effectively represents four side-long pieces from their live shows throughout California taken place between 2006 and 2007. Essentially a follow-up to their 2007 album on Los Angeles Melon Expander, Remissions expands upon the immense recursive tape looping and resampling that is found inherent in their work but achieves a weight and time displacement that greatly overshadows their dark preceding full-length. All four pieces were recorded at: Norcal Noisefest in Sacramento (2006, Sky Wire), The Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco (2006, Sun Dog), The Smell in Los Angeles (2006, Gases That Emit Light), and ArtSFs Noise Pancakes Series (2007, Giant Eagle).

Crackles of electronic fire, tremolo-infused waves of sustained guitar, broken music boxes and found sounds among all other sorts of unfounded wails of gargantuan melancholy drone, Burke and Dimuzios collaboration is a forceful collection of early industrial sound ruination combined with classic Krautrock ambiance of the Tangerine Dream/Cluster ilk reassuringly composed into something wholly modern and powerful." - No Fun |

Artist: DIN A TESTBILD Title: Programm 6 Format: CD Label: Bureau B Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |
| "Few bands of the German post punk/new wave era can lay claim to "cult" status, but Din A Testbild most certainly can. Formed in 1978 by Mark Eins and Gudrun Gut, the combo played a significant role in defining the avant-garde music of Berlin and were among the pioneers of electro-clash, long before the genre even existed. In the year they started out, Din A Testbild played at the opening of the legendary Berlin underground club S.O. 36 and in 1980 they appeared at Hamburgs first "In Die Zukunft" (trans. "Into The Future") festival, organized by Alfred Hilsberg. "Abfall/Garbage," their first single, is emblematic of the entire West Berlin music scene from 1978-1982. The group also participated in the seminal "Geniale Dilletanten" event at the Tempodrom in Berlin (1981). Their contribution to German underground cinema and the art scene cannot be captured in a few simple words. Such is the measure of the cult and legend of Din A Testbild. Exactly 30 years after the release of their debut LP Programm 1 on Klaus Schulzes IC record label, the Berliners have picked up the thread of their album series with Programm 6 in 2010. Mark Eins is joined by long-term members Nutty Norman and Ralf Zimmermann, as well as Axel Brand, plus guest musicians Gerrit Meijer, the legendary Berlin guitarist of the band PVC and vocalist Bettina Schoch. Din A Testbild aim straight for the dancefloor on Programm 6: driving bass lines, hypnotic grooves, dark harmonies, mechanical sounds, expressive shouts. All given an extra-special flair through the sporadic intervention of industrial instrumentation such as Meijers metal-machine guitar or Nutty Normans chaoscillator and, on occasion, even through Schochs rousing vocals. The album plays without a pause -- Din A Testbild weave an intense, danceable, electronic, expressive aural collage. "Digital Sound Art" is the name the band give to their "acoustic backdrop for the third millennium," a concept which should not hide the fact that analog instruments are very much at play here, with trash guitar to the fore. Mark Eins has this to say about his music: "Its not a question of melodic arcs, but of acoustic perception and entertainment on the highest plane. Its about the challenge, not the standard. Self-discovery, not self-affirmation in a modern, intelligent world. Fun and enjoyment for body and soul, without esoteric pretensions. Art is entertainment is pop." -Bureau B |

Artist: DINO & MONTEVIDEO BLUES Title: s/t Format: CD Label: Lion Productions Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "The one and only album by Dino & Montevideo Blues (Macondo GAM 551, 1972) deserves to be a serious contender as one of the most important, and as it happens, most grooving, records ever released in Uruguay. But there is another reason that the album has attained exalted status: the incisive power of the lyrics, which are all the more impressive considering the national turmoil out of which they were created. Montevideo Blues was founded by Uruguayan song-writing legend Gaston "Dino" Ciarlo as a way to fuse the rawness of rock music with obscure native Uruguayan rhythms like malambo, milonga and chamarrita-a logical direction to pursue after Dino had attempted pop/candombe fusions in his solo recordings. The tracks have an edgy, atonal quality, with terrific unconventional angular guitar and a kind of ragged glory, all driven along by insistent grooving rhythms, whether from native drums or the clicking of drumsticks. Includes a handful of bonus tracks, as well as a 32-page booklet packed with photos, detailed band history, and lyrics for this important Uruguayan band." - Lion Production. |

This cryptic LAFMS-related group occurred during and in between periods of playing with POINTS OF FRICTION, STEAMING COILS and SOLID EYE. SPENCER SAVAGE and TOM RECCHION played with them in the mid-80s and continued intermittently since. A smattering of Dinosaurs With Horns material has appeared on various compilations and very limited cassette and CDR releases, but Return of the Disco-Aristo-Sarcophagus is the first full-length CD release, recorded November 2000 on KXLU radio and January 2007 at the LACE Gallery in Hollywood.

In fact, you will find not a single set of instructions for arranging celebrations successful or otherwise so don?t even look. Written democratically and without a dictionary by Emphysema, Ricketts, and Cirrhosis (all, it should be said, past and present members of other similarly bombastic and trashy musical outfits such as the A-Frames, the Intelligence, and Double Fudge) and recorded by Sacramento?s stun-gun toting boy genius, Chris Woodhouse, these seven songs ooze sexy mashed potato slush laced with shrapnel and unicorn horns.

|
Artist: DIRECTING HAND Title: Songs From The Red House Format: LP Label: Singing Knives Country: UK Price: $28.00 |
| "Directing Hand began as a corollary to drummer/vocalist Alex Neilsons growing interest in the original folk music of the British Isles. Initially, the group was set to amplify the early experiments in form that he had undertaken as a founding member of the Scatter ensemble. But as the project grew, the connection between earlier modes and current praxis became increasingly circuitous, with Neilson joining the dots between seemingly mutually-aggressive musical strands such as dilated big-band improvisation ala Globe Unity Orchestra and Taj Mahal Travellers, the fractured experiments in time of The Shaggs and Henry Flynt & The Insurrectionists and the spontaneous vocal energies of Patty Waters and Charlie Feathers. The current Directing Hand line-up ⿿ consisting of Vinnie Blackwall on improvised vocals, cello, harp and harmonium and Neilson on drums and psaltry ⿿ represents the groups starkest incarnation to date. Blackwall is a classically trained vocalist, though she rarely makes a move that could be associated with any particular school. Sure, there are moments of tongue pressure that orbit the art trance of early Meredith Monk or Julie Tippetts work with the Spontaneous Music Ensemble circa One Two Albert Ayler but theres also a ton of mystery in the way that she seems to incorporate snatches of mellifluous choral and early music melodies in between full-body soundings and vegetable wordage. When you first catch it, its as shocking as an Australian in cut-offs, but as you surrender your brain to the glorious see-sawing command with which she pilots the furthest vectors of her body into sound, it seems to have the same connection to free jazz as the divine madrigal stylings of Dolly Collins on Anthems In Eden and Love, Death & The Lady had to the triumphal melodies of the Albert Ayler Orchestra. Neilsons playing detonates time by exploding any notion of accompaniment, response or precognition in favour of a profound simultaneity. Drummers have always been the revolutionary agents of musical change; switch up the beat and you reconfigure time, reconfigure time and you re-draw reality. In Neilsons playing there is truly no past or future, simply Now over and over. Just one movement of his hands and then the next. And in a historical/cultural moment as oppressively 4/4 as 2008, it feels like a fucking revolution. Just as the traditional readings are illuminated by the advanced application of vanguard, modernist aesthetics, the improvisations feel intuitively authentic and deeply volk-ish. For a tradition to go on living, sometimes it is necessary to kill it off completely. So, Directing Hand. On your knees, sir." - David Keenan.

Artist: DISBAND Title: s/t Format: CD Label: Primary Information Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "Primary Information is happy to announce the release of the first ever DISBAND CD. Compiled from over three years of performance around New York from 1979 and 1982, the CD features 21 songs. While the DISBAND collective featured many members in its brief lifetime, the CD captures the group as Ilona Granet, Donna Henes, Barbara Kruger (briefly), Ingrid Sischy, Diane Torr, and Martha Wilson. Wilson, inspired by the no-wave scene and club culture around her, in particular the Y-Pants, Theoretical Girls, Bush Tetras, and James White and the Blacks, started DISBAND in 1978. As Martha Wilson herself explained: ⿿Bands played at the Mudd Club, Tr3, AREA, CBGBs. But they all knew how to play instruments and I didnt, so I called up artist girlfriends who were long on concept and short on skills, and DISBAND, the all-girl band of artists who couldnt play any instruments, was born. While this sounds like the equation for badly played instruments and screechy vocals that became a hallmark of the late-70s New York music scene, DISBAND left the instruments behind and focused their efforts on crafting melodic all-vocal pop songs that were both sharp-tongued and tongue-in-cheek. Taking on the role of both band and artist collective, they blurred the line between performance art and live music. DISBANDs lyrics contributed to ongoing discussions on the art and social issues of their time yet they remain relevant. Sexual identity, gender inequality, cold war politics, and the daily struggles of artists and art workers all play a role in the bands lyrics. Mirroring the chaos and temporarity of that time, the band split up in 1982 having never produced a record. This is the first comprehensive look at their all-too brief career." - Primary Information |

Artist: DISCO VOLANTE Title: No Motion Format: 7" Label: Medical Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "For the first 7" record released by Medical Records, we are proud to reissue the long lost and out of print 7" by Disco Volante. Disco Volante was essentially Terry Clarke (aka Terry Tanx) and formed in London in 1982. Inspired by the early Bond films and their soundtracks (Disco Volante was a yacht in Thunderball), Tanx played live in a number or small clubs between 1982-1986. Using a small number of Roland instruments (TB 303, TR 606, MC-202, and SH-09), Disco Volante self-released a cassette entitled Traction in Rehash, which is sadly lost. In 1984, the 7" single No Motion was released on Catalyst Box Records, with the title track as the A-side and Click and Punishment Tank (Live) as the B-sides. The track No Motion is a very catchy, layered synthpop hit that is quite unique yet capturing the essence of the early 80s new wave sound very nicely. Click on the b-side is a march-like track with propulsive synthetic bass textures and monotonous analog drum beats. The final track Punishment Tank (Live) was recorded live at the Red Box, London with a punk feel and with intense, delayed vocals, guitar and overlayed synth hooks. Beyond out of print and sure to appeal to lovers of the DIY coldwave and synth 7" revival and resurrection. Limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies." - Medical. |

Artist: DISCO ZOMBIES Title: Drums Over London Format: LP Label: Acute Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
|
"The Disco Zombies should rank high in the pantheon of legendary English DIY punk bands, but a frustrating career of bad timing, record label mismanagement and three terrific singles slipping through the cracks have kept them in the shadows. In 1977 they were Leicester’s greatest punk band but the single that might have shot them to the top of the UK heap, filled with pop gems like Top of the Pops and Punk A Go Go, was scrapped at the last possible minute due to a production company implosion. Still hopeful, they moved to London and prepared for stardom. They recorded and released the John Peel favorite “Drums Over London” themselves, a song whose satire may have been too subtle for the masses. Sung from the viewpoint of a xenophobic right-winger, many took it as racist and it found fans among the crowd they were trying to critique. Peel had to explain to Rock Against Racism it actually supported their views! Due to the success of Drums Over London, their first single finally saw release as The Invisible EP. Unfortunately as it was a year late it was seen as being out of time and quickly sank without a trace. With hindsight we can hear it for what it really was, an EP of killer pop-punk. And had it come out on time, their Top of the Pops would’ve beaten the Rezillos to the charts by 6 months.
One more single—an artier affair with a drum machine and DIY atmosphere—was released. Here Come the Buts backed by Mary Millington, their tribute to England’s most famous porn star suicide, marry a more post-punk atmosphere of repetitious drum machine programming with their usual infectious melodies and snarling guitars. Three more aborted records followed and more songs, only ever played live, were heard by increasingly fewer people as the punk dream gave way. But now, at long last, The Disco Zombies—a great pop band with catchy hooks, witty lyrics and infectious energy—can be appreciated by the rest of us. Available for the first time since their release, The Disco Zombies’ three classic, collectible singles, coupled with seven bonus unreleased tracks, are featured on the new Acute Records compilation LP Drums Over London. In addition, the digital download
contains a complete live set including five more songs not recorded or heard anywhere else, as well as some choice covers that will prove the Disco Zombies are more than another forgotten punk rock hard-luck story." - Acute.

Artist: DISCOVERER Title: Tunnels Format: LP Label: Digitalis Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "Kansas Citys Brandon Knocke has quietly been making a name for himself as a producer and composer the last few years. Beyond his solo work as Discoverer, he fronts the enigmatic Parts Of Speech as well as the newly-formed, incredibly promising duo, Svamps, with Kianna Alarid Cameron of Tilly & The Wall. Knocke is a glutton when it comes to his electronic concoctions, but on Tunnels, we hear him at his most bare. Discovers second full-length, Tunnels, could be considered a concept album of sorts. Whats immediately apparent about the album is the attention to detail in the composition. From the opening chords of "Circular Motherboard" through the laid-back catharsis of "Personal Clone," Knocke is prepared to take listeners on a cinematic ride through white, sterile hallways and feminized technology. The low-end thump of standout "Blood Lab" drags you through antiseptic, holographic imagery designed to distract from the disconnect between reality and an imaginary utopia. "Lesbian Software" embraces the desolation of a technologically-driven existence with heavily-vocoded vocals paired exquisitely with emotionally-charged synth leads. Diametrically opposed but combined in absolute harmony, Knocke is absolutely on top of his game here. It is music that infects you like a nano-virus, simultaneously destroying what you know but rebuilding it as something better and more pure. As the album comes to a close, Discoverer has come to grips with this controlled and stilted future that hovers in the distant future. But in that acceptance is a realization that our human essence cannot be entirely vanquished. In the playful bass lines of "Materialize" and triumphant assertion of "Personal Clone" that close out the album, Knocke lets you know that even in the starkest future is the chance to further evolve." - Digitalis. |

Artist: DISEÑO CORBUSIER Title: El Alma de la Estrella Format: LP Label: Vinilisssimo Country: Spain Price: $26.00 |
| "In the mid-80s, Granada was a small redoubt of avant-garde resistance. While Madrid bragged about being the capital of the new wave scene -- the much-trumpeted Movida madrilène -- away from any media interest, the Andalusian city was part of a European-wide network where the free circulation of ideas and knowledge could be linked to the current CopyLeft movement -- an international scene where musicians were editors and the artists were equally fans. They exchanged music following that do-it-yourself philosophy in which the cassette had an ideal role as the vehicle of music diffusion. Ani Zinc would become an expert amateur of such activities. As a child, there were no records in her home in Andújar, but radio gave her company. It was her only contact with music. She received her first shock listening to "Remember Love," the repetitive song by Yoko Ono. She later found out about Llorenç Barber. Only when she arrived in Granada to study psychology did she discover that she wasnt the only one that liked a kind of music that didnt resemble anything. Granadas proximity to Africa made it possible to tune into Arabic, flamenco and pop radio stations. She would record those sounds with a radio cassette and with her own hands she would cut and paste the magnetic tape. Unable to get that Yoko Ono song out of her mind, she started discovering the possibilities of her voice. Diseño Corbusier was born out of that obsession and also out of the electronic explorations of Javier G. Marín, then a first-year law student. They had met in 1981 after an ad in the music magazine Vibraciones. "If youre into bands like Cabaret Voltaire or Flying Lizards, call me," wrote Marín. If their first record (Pérfido encanto, 1985) was a vibrant experiment where the rhythms werent yet muscled up, with El Alma de la Estrella the duo took a step ahead. They renovated some electronic equipment and signed a distribution deal between their own label, Auxilio de Cientos, and one of the most prosperous Spanish independents of the 80s, Nuevos Medios, who were working with labels such as Factory at the time. Marín had been advised: if the rhythm cant be danced to the records wont sell. It was 1986 and he was constantly listening to DAF. El Alma de la Estrella gathered all of Zincs obsessions. On "Chiquillo" she imitated the angry womens voices which filled the streets of the poor neighborhood where she had grown up. "Ritmo 21" cant hide her admiration for Yoko Onos vocal register and "El Club del Ruido" came about as a fragmented document of an interview they did on the radio show of the same name. Marín created rhythm structures with which to organize the material. This time, he replaced an archaic Korg synthesizer with a powerful Roland SH101, and the tiny drum machine Boss DR-55 with a German-built one that used real percussion sounds: the MFB-512. Rather than electronic or even industrial music, Diseño Corbusiers second album was a vibrant piece of domestic craftwork. Very few got to hear it, but you get to hear it now. On 180 gram vinyl with insert. Limited, hand-numbered edition of 500 copies." -Vinilisssimo. |

Artist: DISEÑO CORBUSIER Title: Perfido Encanto Format: LP Label: Vinilisssimo Country: Spain Price: $28.00 |
 "180 gram vinyl reissue with insert. 1982: Dragged by decades of international isolation, Madrid and Granada performed, unaware and in their own way, the same roles that London and Sheffield had assumed during the punk explosion in the UK. While the capital grabbed headlines and considered itself the epicenter of modernity, 400 kilometres southwards, Granada developed an experimental scene despite the scarce resources available. Pérfido Encanto is Diseño Corbusiers first contribution to a European-wide scene where electronic instruments rose up against the media domination of guitars. They first got together when Ani Zinc, a psychology student without any previous musical experience, met two law students obsessed with the power of machines but with different approaches. Rafael Flores believed in the extreme noise of bands like Throbbing Gristle as a source of endless energy. Javier G. Marín had a sexier concept of synthesizers. The outcome was natural: Marín and Ani Zinc amicably parted ways with Flores, who would have a remarkable career under the alias Comando Bruno. Under the name Auxilio de Cientos, Maríns intention was to provide distribution to those unclassifiable projects he knew through fanzines, radio shows and record trading. Anis intention didnt go beyond spending time manipulating her voice on the cassettes she recorded. But one of her collage tracks reached national radio. Signed as by Neo Zelanda, "Paso hambre," consisting only of a treated, menacing and magnetic vocal, was played one night and the calls brought the radio station to a standstill. The record label DRO quickly signed her. The deal was for two singles: one with said track and another one for Diseño Corbusier. The latter never happened, so Marín decided his humble distribution company would become a label. And its first release would not be a single but an LP. The Korg synthesizer was the perfect tool for those who didnt know how to play and would never go to music school. The Boss DR-55 rhythm machine had a sweet appearance but a devastating character. A radio cassette player plugged into a Revox was the recording studio. And finally, Ani Zincs microphone: naivety made intention. Pérfido Encanto quickly sold its 500-copies run, more than half outside Spain." -Vinilissimo.

Artist: DISLOCATION Title: Coyotes Call Format: LP Label: Fusetron Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "Way-above-average improv from Japan. Electric strings (guitars?), saxophones, electronics, and samples move with unexpected ease frommeditative passages to intense blow-outs to free scatter. Sax player Yoshinori Yanagawa plays with the same sort of depth and passion as Albert Ayler--no fakin, no academic rendering. But hes only part of a much larger whole. The wash of precision rumble and sound-tweaking that surrounds everything creates chaos from an intensely ordered technology. Strange (not "weird"), exciting music."-Eddie Flowers. "An intensely intriguing IIIrd album from this Japanese guitar/sax/electronics trio, ostensibly in four parts; parts 01. & 04. being short nursery soundscapes, the curtain rise & fall for the mammoth central volcanic continent which is itself shattered into a flies-eye multitude of alternately blasting, then conversational fragments. Yoshinori Yanagawas saxophones veer between Brotzmanesque screams and the deep bowel-rumble of a severe high-colonic impaction (especially when played at 33.3rpm - later, at 45, things resumed a more distinctly saxophonic tone). Electronics dominate most of the tectonic mood swinging going on; Toyohiro Okazaki (& guest sample wrangler Syohei Iwasaki) comes on like some demonic incarnation of Ron Grainers BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Fujio Kimuras "electric strings" are so convincingly grafted on to electronics wall that they together describe a single, enclosed chunk of improvised airspace, which houses the fluttering horn. Coyotes Call is at times an intense and demanding listen, exploring a kind of electronoise-jazz (sans drums) landmass only hitherto trod by hardy souls (Borbeto/Voice Crack collabs being the obvious precedent). Definitely worthy of much further investigation." -Tim Cornelius; Opprobrium. A few more copies of this mid-90s Fusetron release. Dislocation also had two CDs on PSF. |

"Dissecting Table: Saddharma is a very intense Experimental Industrial-Noise Orgy, lasting over nearly 32 minutes. on this brilliant track, the mastermind of the Japanese Noise-Poineers DISSECTING TABLE, Ichiro Tsuji, combines different rhythmic oldschool-elements, experimental sounds and very dark/aggressive vocals, that remind to the bands early years. Vasilisk: after the mysterious Japanese Power-Noise band "WHITE HOSPITAL" split up into "GRIM" and "VASILISK", the newborn band released 3 fantastic LPs in 1987-89, which became some of the most wanted and most expensive records in the collectors scene, already short after their release. in 1990 the 3 LPs were followed by a brilliant "best of" CD (Liaberation & Ecstasy), which was definitely one of the best Ritual albums ever released. after the release of this CD it went quite silent around the band, but now, after more than 20 years, Tomo Kuwahara (Vasilisk) is back with the same amazing Ritual Music than before! he played a great live-concert in Japan short ago (please find the youtube links below) and his brandnew album will be released on Steinklang soon!" - Steinklang. |

Artist: DISSIPATED FACE WITH DANIEL CARTER Title: Live at CBGB 1986 Format: 7" Label: Roaratorio Country: Roaratorio Price: $6.00 |
| "Not since the early days of MC5 at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, circa 1968, had there been such an organic melding of sheer metal-esque maelstrom and free jazz. These archival recordings from the legendary punk club CBGB capture a moment in time when open-minded musicians from the downtown scene were exploring the possibility of bringing Lou Reeds feedback-infested Metal Machine Music together with Albert Aylers Love Cry. Dissipated Face guitarist Kurt Hologram Ralske and special guest saxophonist Daniel Carter provided that implausible link between punk rock and avant garde jazz on these 1986 live recordings. Fueled by the throbbing rhythms of Steve X Dream Popkin and Ben Face Munves, who alternated on bass and drums, Ralskes twisted, thrashing power chords and shrieking licks blend with Carters cathartic alto sax wailing to make the perfect union of disparate worlds. Ralske would go on to attain a certain level of indie rock fame with Ultra Vivid Scene and subsequently make an impact as a London-based producer-conceptualist-avant-popmeister and visual artist. Carter would become one of the most ubiquitous figures on New Yorks free jazz scene, recording with William Parker, David S. Ware, Billy Bang, Alan Silva and Matthew Shipp and the cooperative bands Test and Other Dimensions in Music. But for this one moment back in 1986, their paths crossed with band mates Popkin and Munves, and the results were frighteningly intense. - Bill Milkowski. Cover artwork by Raymond Pettibon. |

Grunts and gurggles hump circuit-bent glitches in the way an inhuman claw might select a fannypack from the racks of Forever XXI. The fact is: only one hand is needed to clap on a drum machine. DJ ILYA MONOSOV & THE 21ST CENTURY PUNKS are too rhythmic to call noise, too chaotic to call music.

"Over 3 years in the making, at last the Djin Aquarian and Plastic Crimewave Sound Save the World LP is ready to be unleashed on this troubled planet. Upon meeting in 2009, an immediate kinship was established between the legendary Ya Ho Wha 13 guitarist/sage Djin Aquarian and Chicagos acid-punk minimalists Plastic Crimewave Sound. Through meditation, repetition, herbs, mountainous amplification, and a deep understanding and reverence for thee almighty Father Yod, mutual/musical sacred ground was immediately established, from the first devotional practice session. During an east coast tour pilgrimage the magical ties that bind grew tighter, and lo and behold, a recording studio residing in the remains of synagogue appeared in the wilds of Pennsylvania. Following in the tradition of Father Yods ancient mystery school Source Family jam sessions committed to wax in LA in the 70s, which resulted in true psychedelic cult classics like Ya Ho Wha 13′s Penetration: An Aquarian Symphony and Im Gonna Take You Home, this quartet channeled the frequencies around them into 5 extended numbers - even revisiting the latter LPs immortal title track ode, and YHW13-offhsoots Spirit of 76s/Golden Sunrises savage We are the Dinosaurs.

Surviving two line ups over a brief four years; this highly influential, strikingly original and extremely under recorded band left a huge void in its wake. Formed in 1978, Brazilian raised singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay hastily assembled an international trio of non-musicians. Robin Crutchfield played keyboard and Japanese-born Ikue Mori played drums. DNA played their first gig within weeks and recorded their first 7" shortly afterwards. The ear of Brian Eno was quickly caught, recording them for the infamous No New York compilation alongside James Chance, Mars, and Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. Before No New York was released, Robin left the band after a total tenure of nine months. Bassist Tim Wright had just left Pere Ubu, relocated to NY and quickly joined DNA. With a new face, a new instrument and a new sound, DNA recorded their classic nine minute EP A Taste Of DNA . DNA toured the States and Europe bringing their explosive live show to a wider audience. DNA only released 12 songs during its lifetime, and another 3 shortly afterwards on a european compilation. Their impact was far and wide reaching. Many musicians have sited DNA as a main influence including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and the band Blonde Redhead, who appropriated their name from a DNA song title. This CD compiles all of the studio and many choice live recordings. Of particular interest are the original lineups early versions of Detached, 5:30 and Low (which is closely related to A New Low.)

"Repressed. Dog Faced Hermans was a five-piece band whose style could be described as anarcho-artpunk incorporating folk and noise influences as well as unorthodox instrumentation. Hailing from Scotland, DFH came out of the herky-jerky Glasgow scene with bands like Stretchheads, Dawson and Archbishop Kebab. Mental Blocks was their 2nd full length LP, released in 1991 on the bands own Demon Radge label. They had 3 LPs, 1 12" EP and a collection of EPs, comp tracks and splits before signing on with Alternative Tentacles for their last two LPs. Guitarist Andy Moor has been a part of The Ex for about 12 years now, and bassist Colin McLean is now playing as part of The Exs live set. DFH has influenced bands such as Erase Errata, Veronica Lipgloss, God Is My Co-Pilot, and many more. Mental Blocks is considered one of their (if not the) best and hardest to find albums. Remastered by members of the band for improved clarity over the original release." -Mississippi

Artist: DOGFEET Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Acme Country: UK Price: $24.00 |
| "Reissue of mega rare 1970 UK progressive rock blended with elements of folk and an atmospheric bluesy psychedelic edge. This is one of the best examples where the band were trying to create their own style of rock but failed to go to a big audience. But they have left us with a marvelous collection of music that links with T2, Steel Mill, Andromeda, Fuzzy Duck, and etc. Originals now command high prices and are impossible to find. This is an exact copy of the Reflection issue on 180 gram vinyl." - Acme. |

Artist: DOLAT-SHAHI, DARIUSH Title: Electronic Music, Tar and Sehtar Format: LP Label: Dead-Cert Country: UK Price: $26.00 |
|
"This release will undoubtedly be met by the same deep breaths that have been shared by the small group of collectors who, over the past few years, have held original copies of this rare Folkways release in such high regard. In simple terms this LP is the kind of record you wished existed while nothing really came close to the mark. Respectfully and subtly combining traditional Persian instrumentation, modular synth exercises, field recordings and tape manipulation -- this debut release from 1985 by Dariush Dolat-Shahi bridges multiple cultural and stylistic voids and vindicates the vinyl-buying markets disparate interests in bygone Eastern experimental rock music, radio-phonic experiments, musique-concrete, sound design, neo-tantric meditational records and other early accidental acidic electro murmurs. For those who enjoyed the re-contextualized music of Ilaiyaraaja and Charanjit Singh while holding tight to the legacy of Pierre Schaeffer, Daphne Oram, Ilhan Mimaroglu, and harbor penchants for all things drone, Teutonic, electronic, demonic, and euphoric, this record has just changed all your plans for the weekend. A perfect primer for the aforementioned labels and a proud indication of what to expect from this eternally studious camp in 2013. This facsimile/reproduction of the original album is housed in a deluxe hand-made Smithsonian-style oversized outer with wrap-around print. Cut at Dubplates & Mastering." -Dead-Cert.

If you bought all five original singles - youd have no change from 120 pounds. Dolly Mixture were like the Shangri-las or the Go-Gos if they had any class. Or the Raincoats without the weirdness and electric violins. Dolly mixture toured with the undertones, played john peels 40th birthday party, recorded a wealth of true pop classics, gave u2 a support-act leg-up, wrote songs for lena zavaroni and influenced the whole riot grrrl movement. but floored by on-the-road illness, decooled by captain sensible and dismissed as the slits meet the nolans by a uk music industry too hung up on black leather hipness." - For Us. |

Artist: DOLPHINS INTO THE FUTURE Title: Canto Arquipelago Format: LP Label: Underwater Peoples Country: USA Price: $16.00 |

"There is something phenomenally enticing about a sequestered island chain, literally bounded by a vast and enveloping sea. Perhaps its the romance of discovery-the knowledge that here lies the safety of land within the great seclusion of nature. Perhaps its the raw beauty that is simply emerald speckled turquoise. LIEVEN MOANA as DOLPHINS INTO THE FUTURE dedicates his latest effort to the Azores, a remarkably beautiful volcanic archipelago that lacks very little by way of inspiration. The ambient conjurer weaves glorious tones and minimal percussion with brilliant and evocative field recording, having spent several weeks on the island cluster for this body of work. "Once an island gets born," Lieven articulates, "its a continuous struggle, a continuous dialogue, a learning, a BATTLE and cooperation of influences. The sea starts bashing on its shores. Erosion starts the complete demolition of the island. But at the same time, sun and sea give birth and food... Archipelagos have a heavy rhythm." Underwater Peoples happily invites you to discover the spiritual enchantment that is Dolphins Into The Future. Let it wash over and beneath you and may you find what you need most - whether it be solace, delight, or resolve-within Canto Arquipelago." - Underwater Peoples.

|
"In January and February of this year L.R.J. Martens spent his days in Big Island, Hawaii to focus on the communication of Dolphins. For this lp his encounter with a group of spinner dolphins and humphback whales was translated to audio postcards.
In three epic new age compositions Martens seeks the ultimate sound for the Cetacean Nation, of which he is one of the official composers. Traces of esoteric seventies fusion and the 3D universes of Jean-Luc Bozzoli are gently transformed to artistic sound relaxation and aquatic poetry. L.R.J. Martens is one of the key figures in the Belgian DIY avant-garde scene. With labels such as Imvated, Bread and Animals and Taped Sounds he gave new energy to the cassette underground in Belgium. With a background in various noise sensations and neo-dadaistic sound play, he now found his ying and yang in Dolphins Into The Future. A-side) Ke Ala Ke Kua A lucid collage of alt saxophone, tapes, synthesizer, Pacific Ocean waves floating in 7s, Polynesian choirs and poly-rhythms, site-specific birdsounds and walkman. Three chapters to translate the extreme dramatics, spirit, multi dimensions and beauty of the Kealakekua Bay, the Gods pathway. . B-side) Hookenaaha Halawai An emotional-emphatic sound memory of an encounter with a school of Spinner Dolphins and two Humph-Back Whales. Created with the Dave Smith Evolver keyboard, and the angel vocals from the Casio CTK810. Kookika Mokuaina Study for alt saxophone, birdsongs, water and cassette. Being an evocative sound postcard from Hawaiis Big Island, the Orchid Isle. Recorded and mixed iune and iulai 2010 by L.R.J. Martens at Cetacean Nation Studios, Antwerp." - Kraak.

| "Its really fascinating how people change. The first time I saw Lieven Martens in person, he was naked manipulating tapes and shooting glitter into a Dutch audience during a Dirk Free Noise performance at Das Hondenkoekjesfabriek. Fast forward seven years and we have a man who has helped evolve and mature that hypnotic sound into new territories. Two Romantic Landscapes uses signature DITF techniques such as realtime processing of water sounds, explorations in cetacean communications via effectively timed delivery of aquatic sounds, and some really laid back keyboard solos. Tape reccomended for repeat listening in one sitting." -Beniffer Editions. |

Artist: DOME Title: 1-4+5 Format: 5LP Box Set Label: Editions Mego Country: Austria Price: $165.00 |
| "Editions Mego are proud to release the complete recorded works of Dome in a deluxe vinyl box set that also includes newly-designed artwork by David Coppenhall, reproductions of the original Atelier Koninck posters that accompanied Dome 1 and Dome 2, an insert with sleeve notes by Howard Jacques and Neil Martinson as well as unseen photos from the period. If that wasnt enough, it also contains a matchbox to put matches in to shake along to your favorite Dome tune! With the demise of the group Wire in 1980, founding members Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis joined forces to create Dome. With the assistance of engineer Eric Radcliffe and his Blackwing Studio, Dome took the ethic of "using the studio as a compositional tool" and recorded and released three Dome albums on their own label in the space of 12 months: Dome (July 1980), Dome 2 (October 1980) and Dome 3 (October 1981). A final fourth album, Will You Speak This Word: Dome IV was released on the Norwegian Uniton label in May 1983. These albums represent some of the most beautifuly stark and above all timeless exercises in studio experimentation from the early 1980s alternative music scene. With the re-activation of Wire in 1985, it was thought that all Dome activity had ceased. While no new recordings appeared, Dome utilized any spare time to secretly record new pieces. In 1989 dancer/choreographer Michael Clark commissioned them to record a piece for his new ballet "Because We Must." In the same year, they also performed live in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. In 1999, WMO commissioned Dome to record new pieces to accompany the recordings from 1989. This compilation, entitled Yclept, would be the final recordings, to date, that Dome have made. Dome 1-4 appear on vinyl for the first time in over 30 years, whereas the recordings making up Yclept (Dome 5) appear for the first time ever on vinyl. Each LP is housed in a new cover based on the originals. Also includes a matchbox, a postcard, 2 posters and an 8-page 3-fold insert with some essays.

Artist: DONOSO, RICARDO Title: Assimilating the Shadow Format: CD Label: Digitalis Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "In the time since Ricardo Donoso delivered his debut album Progress Chance, hes been pursuing his take on morning music even further. Informed by deep house, slowed-down trance and club influences, this new album unfolds to reveal elaborate sonic labyrinths that emerge out of the burning embers of dance music. Assimilating the Shadow has been designed to be consumed at sunrise, at the partys end. It assembles dark, carefully-considered sequences layered in a way that seems on first listen to be a fusion of opposites. Sacred geometry sets the stage for these intricate, emotional structures, illustrating tonal passages that appear divergent on first listen but which become coherent the further into the album you delve. Its an album that harks back to the beginnings of dance music but which somehow sidesteps the usual revivalist signatures that have become all too familiar in recent years, instead opting for a rhythmically complex variant that echoes early Jean Michel Jarre, Cluster, Manuel Göttsching and Speedy J but with a strange compositional quality quite unlike any of its influences." - Digitalis. |

Artist: DONOSO, RICARDO Title: Progress Chance Format: LP Label: Digitalis Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
|
"In recent years, Boston has become an epicenter for some of the best experimental music emerging out of the USA. A native of Brazil, Ricardo Donoso has floated under the radar until recently, but has become an integral piece of the Boston puzzle. Not only is he half of the exquisite Perispirit and the brains behind the Semata label, but hes also a member of avant-metal outfit, Ehnare. Donosos previous two solo efforts were both cassettes (on Digitalis and Razors & Medicine, respectively) but Progress Chance presents an impressive leap forward into something quite unexpected. While on a hiatus from working on the score for an upcoming film, Donoso was inspired to try something new. His roots as a jazz drummer in Brazil werent always obvious on his previous solo efforts, but through his soundtrack work, he realized that he wanted to make a record that explored his interest in techno and more specifically, old Goa and Scandinavian trance. The idea was to strip out the four-to-the-floor beats and any drum programming and create his own version of the "morning dance music" he grew up with in the Brazilian rave scene. As Donoso explores his synthesizers in new ways, the result is something incredibly intricate yet surprisingly accessible. Through the heavy use of gates and arpeggiators, Donoso lays down a series of rhythmic counterpoints. There are certainly traces of Berlin school influence -- "Baiting Disappointment" and "The Deck Of An Ancient Ship" would not feel out of place with Mirage-era Klaus Schulze. Yet Donoso finds his own voice, figuratively and literally. Ghostly whispers and incantations drift in and out over the polyrhythmic layers of synthesizers like radio waves from the grave. "Conditional Formatting (Descent)" feels timeless with its gradual build-up and hopeful repetition while "Chrome Decadence" is over-the-top without being gauche. Even with the newfound hints of positivity prevailing, there is still something vaguely austere creeping in on "Morning Criminal." If youve fallen under the spell of Leyland Kirbys Intrigue & Stuff series, or if youve been drawn in by the many different shapes and colors thrown out by a new generation of producers messing with dance music templates -- this album will rule your world. 500 copies only, cut to vinyl at Dubplates and Mastering, Berlin." -Digitalis

"Kim Doo Soo is the deepest and most introspective of Koreas acid folk singers. Many are the legends that cling to his songs -- political oppression, alcoholism, suicide, a ten-year period of mountain seclusion. Despite having been active since the mid-80s and having released four acclaimed albums in Korea, most Western listeners only became aware of him through his tracks on the recent Damon & Naomi compilation, International Sad Hits. On 10 Days Butterfly, his fifth album, he mines productive veins of profound melancholy, animistic nature, and unfathomable, hermetic affection. The whole is couched in a veil of the most gorgeous, still melodicism, Kims vocals and guitar shaded with subtle accordion, violin, piano, organ and harmonica. A reflective and unearthly beautiful masterpiece." - Alan Cumming. Small restock..

This was followed with PSF releasing his first new record in 5 years, 2007s superb 10 Days Butterfly.

The songs and re-recordings are superb, capturing perfectly Kims laid back guitar playing and his fragile vocals, somehow mixing psychedelic blurs, with traditional playing with melancholic turns.

"Originally inspired by both the DIY ethic of the punk movement and the likes of Throbbing Gristle and File Under Pop, two friends Nag and Bendle decided to form The Door And The Window in March 79. They played with the Pop Group, Scritti Politti, Delta Five, Swell Maps and Raincoats. The line-up of the band was always fluid and sometime members included Fritz (23 Skidoo), Dennis Burns (ATV/Good Missionaries), Grant Showbiz (The Fall) and Giblet (49 Americans). In late 1979, Mark Perry, disillusioned by the constraints and expectations of Alternative TV joined the band as druumer and co-songwriter. "The punk movement had showed that to make music you didnt need to have first acquired some musical understanding and/or instrumental dexterity. Understanding that music has no unbreakable rules, and then proving this by breaking them, is a fine thing. But Nag and Bendle went further -- they refused to learn what the rules were in the first place. This lack of musical pretension is what still separates them from the all-too-knowing purveyors of whats called "experimental music". The Door And The Window were the true experimenters. They had the courage to skip all the theory and just pick up the instruments, to see what would happen." -- Igor. This CD complies for the first time on CD their album, singles and compilation appearances and contains sleeve notes from Nag, Bendle and Mark Perry." - Overground. Includes the LP, their first 2 EPs Dont Kill Colin and Production Line (featuring the track I Hate Sound which was the inspiration for the title of the I Hate The Pop Group comp), CCH from the Ankst In My Pants double 7 on Deleted and Number One Entertainer from the awesome Weird Noise EP on Fuck Off records. A true classic in the DIY underground - very highly recommended!!

| "having abandoned their earlier angry mode these recordings see the door and the window retain their typically inspired but musically inept disposition as they explore their physical and spiritual world and send back their idiosyncratic dispatches. after having spent several years in the late 70s and early 80s rapidly recording and releasing a number of records, nag and bendle decided to start sitting on their recordings ⿿ ⿿why dont we wait 20 years and see if this is still worth releasing? having an ethos of allowing ridiculous ideas to surface and then meticulously following them to their conclusion, they were bound to pursue this. (around the time of these recordings nag and bendle travelled on a number of strange protracted pilgrimages inspired by a number of popular phrases such as ⿿send him to coventry and ⿿taking coals to newcastle). serendipity would have it that at the end of this 20 year wait overground records saw fit this summer to issue a cd release of the door and the windows lp ⿿detailed twang from the time when tdatw was nag, bendle and mark perry. cynically building upon the marketing opportunity presented by the overwhelming interest shown in that recording, nag and bendle are now releasing this compilation of various tdatw lineups. other info: initially inspired by the first wave of industrial bands and the ethos of diy pioneers like the desperate bicycles and scritti politti, nag and bendle played their first gig and recorded their first single sometime before they bothered to rehearse. playing with an ever-changing lineup tdatw became first gradually rhythmic and then melodic. unhappy to remain in one musical ghetto, they inhabited several ⿿ playing gigs with post punks and ska bands, playing free tours with idealist hippies and gradually becoming deeply involved with the london musicians collective. they co-produced a magazine about the politics of record production, hosted the seminal ⿿jazz punk bonanza festivals of 1980, 82 and 86 and ran the weirdly eclectic sprouts conspiracy cabaret club. nag and bendle also played in the 49 americans and the liberated sound octet, nag played with mark perry and karl blake in the reflections and bendle with the casual labourers and the late music group." - TDATW.

Siltbreeze was delightfully chuffed to make its acquaintance (by way of Matt Valentines suggestion) and agreed to release it unto all the world on the much-sought-after vinyl format. Hailing from Cambridge, England, The Doozer bears an almost uncanny vocal resonance to past legend Syd Barrett, as well as a knack for cobbling together occasional found-tape narration with string-strum and hypnotic percussive plonk not unlike The Shadow Ring. The gin doesnt come much pinker than this. Great Explorers is limited to 500 copies and includes a free download. Look for a possible Doozer East Coast American tour in August." - Siltbreeze. |

Relocating to a village hall, little-theatre-style, he sets the task with a cast of eleven players dipping in and out, old Mrs. Mallows holding the keys. Previous albums are primarily lonesome affairs, so this group activity holds sway on the albums all-enveloping sound. Chords are the name of the game, and its certainly got them! You hear guitars, bass, piano and drums; slipping in to lift those harmonies, a string quartet and horns.... Is that a tuba from the Salvation Army, you say? Yeah it is, and salvation is at hand. Just let it come down from the "Aluminum Dome." Perhaps you know what the weathers like here, but if you dont, take some advice from "Fen Drayton." Or, if youre in doubt about what flowers to get your girl, then check out "Fold Up Chair." Are you undecided on your God? Thats "Oh Unbelievers!"

Artist: DORAU, ANDREAS Title: Arger mit der Unsterblichkeit Format: CD Label: Bureau B Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |
| "In 1988, in a club in Munich, German pop legend Andreas Dorau heard a kind of music which was completely new to him. He remembers it like this: "While we were producing Demokratie, acid house kicked off. It hit me right between the eyes. It was the most incredible thing for me!" Things really took off shortly afterwards, when somebody in England came up with the notion of looping and editing recorded music by other bands. Dorau: "You could pick out your favorite passages from a song, choose the best of the 50s, 60s and 70s and build more or less the perfect song." Endless possibilities! Production techniques were also advancing apace. In 1991 a sampler capable of sampling two minutes cost around 300 Deutsche Marks. Just a few years earlier, such a device would have set the buyer back 10,000 Marks. And so Ärger mit der Unsterblichkeit (Trouble with Immortality) was fashioned in the living room of Doraus new musical companion, his congenial partner Tommi Eckardt. Eckardt played in a band by the name of Die alternativen Arschlöcher (trans. "The Alternative Assholes") and would later find international fame as one-half of the pop duo 2raumwohnung. A new era, a wonderful time. Dorau: "Our rave rigmarole left live audiences nonplussed. Once the album was released, I was seen as some kind of sick character." Others have been tarred with the same brush, have they not? Often, all too often, the best. Includes two bonus tracks." - Bureau B |

Artist: DORAU, ANDREAS Title: Blumen Und Narzissen Format: LP Label: Bureau B Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |
| "If it had been up to Andreas Doraus teacher, "Fred Vom Jupiter," his biggest hit, would never have seen the light of day. The 16 year-old Dorau wrote the song during project week at school and his tutor was of the opinion that the composition was therefore the intellectual property of his institute of learning. Luckily, the teacher in question didnt get his way. And, as they say, the rest is history. In the year 1981, the small, cool Düsseldorf label Ata Tak first released "Fred Vom Jupiter" as a single, selling 20,000 copies in the space of a few months, followed up by the Blumen Und Narzissen LP. It is a strange album, for the most part conceived and executed by a 16 year-old on a family holiday in the mountains. And what is even more extraordinary: it was successful. For Blumen Und Narzissen was a pop album, and when one considers the time (1981) and place (FRG) of its creation, then nothing would have appeared to have had less of a chance of success than a pop album in Germany. The mainstream charts were led by the Smurfs and Ernst Mosch, bars and discos resounded to the sound of Deutschrock and blues, while beyond the mainstream, well-meaning tree-huggers and punks ruled the roost -- two marginal groups whose seriousness was a bore. A tiny niche was occupied by Doraus soulmates, the likes of Der Plan, Palais Schaumburg et al, but in this very niche they were destined to remain. Blumen Und Narzissen is -- even decades later -- a great album. Dorau had actually planned on issuing not just the one single on Ata Tak, but ten further singles, each on a different independent label he admired. Thus Blumen Und Narzissen sounds just like that: a collection of singles. "Nordsee," "Junger Mann," and "Tulpen Und Narzissen" certainly had the potential to become hits. Connoisseurs will note parallels to the golden years of pop: singles, a girl group (Die Marinas), a passion for style. And now? Not much has really changed. The German charts continue to showcase an equally gruesome parade of local talent. And because good pop music is good pop music, Blumen Und Narzissen has found and will continue to find fans both at home and abroad. Both strange and contrary, Blumen Und Narzissen sounds neither old-fashioned nor 30 years old. On 180 gram vinyl with a printed innersleeve with photos and liner notes." - Bureau B. |

Artist: DORAU, ANDREAS Title: Demokratie Format: CD Label: Bureau B Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |
| "German new wave (Neue Deutsche Welle, NDW) reached its peak in 1983. In the public eye, Andreas Dorau was considered an important representative of NDW. But the sensitive artist had no desire to be thrown in the same basket as the terrible monstrosities of what had become a commercially exploited trend. Not that he felt any closer to the contemporary "underground" music of the day. "All far too dark. I didnt want to have anything more to do with music. Back then underground music wasnt allowed to be melodic. The dominant belief was: melody = stupid. And I wanted melodies." Dorau turned his back to the music business and moved to Munich and took his film studies seriously. Until one day, Ata Tak founder Moritz Rrr called him up and asked Dorau if he fancied an informal exchange of ideas with artists from Berlin, no strings attached. He did fancy it, and slowly but surely, he began to have fun again with music. At the same time, Dorau amassed a formidable record collection, largely from the 1960s. And so names like The Left Banke, Van Dyke Parks and The Move rotated on his record player. The idea to make a new album dawned on him gradually. Dorau recorded, discarded material, wrote lyrics, overdubbed, arranged, discarded more material. So, he would rearrange, one track after another, so on and so forth. It was clearly a painstaking process. Says Dorau: "I wanted to create pop music, as far as possible without guitars, simply different." Baroque pop/Roy Wood/Michael Nyman/melodies/no guitars, or thereabouts/electronics/Mayo Thompson also gets in on the act: an interesting mix! Includes two bonus tracks." - Bureau B |

Artist: DORAU, ANDREAS Title: Die Doraus & Die Marinas Geben Offenherzige Format: LP Label: Bureau B Country: Germany Price: $18.00 |
| ...Antworten Auf Brennende Fragen. "After the success of his debut album Blumen Und Narzissen (1981), featuring his "Fred Vom Jupiter" hit, German new wave/pop upstart Andreas Dorau was urged by his new record company, Teldec, to come up with a sophomore effort as soon as possible. To bridge the gap, Dorau first released a single entitled "Kleines Stubenmädchen," a jaunty number with amusing lyrics and a professional, radio-friendly production. But Dorau had not reckoned with the sensitivity of the censors: the humorless sexism detector ruthlessly raised the alarm amongst the radio stations. Those making the decisions at Teldec had the odd idea of asking Dorau to record an apology or explanation on cassette for radio programmers to play either before or after the incriminating song. Dorau could have filled a whole cassette to clarify the subject, perhaps even upholding a claim to artistic freedom. But -- doffing his cap to the spirit of punk -- Dorau naturally rejected the suggestion. A shame. Teldec lost interest in Dorau and the album was released on CBS -- minus "Stubenmädchen," of course. A far greater problem loomed, however: the musical landscape of the Federal Republic of Germany had changed since the release of Blumen Und Narzissen. Major record companies had radically commercialized what Alfred Hilsberg had once benevolently termed "Neue Deutsche Welle" (NDW)/German New Wave (thinking of bands such as Fehlfarben, Der Plan, D.A.F.). They remolded rock bands into new wave bands, wrote idiotic ditties and had clueless jumping jacks and jills perform them. One can imagine that Dorau did not exactly jump for joy when he realized he was about to be lumped in with the rest of them. The relationship between Dorau and his sophomore work was clouded from the word "go." And it still is. Although it is actually a really good record: from the psychedelic lyrics of "Polizist," "Sandkorn" and "Texas" to beautiful observations of daily life ("Feierabend"), the music meanders its way through snappy pop, bossa nova, exotica, disco and new wave. A certain, unique strain of psychedelia courses through the whole album, detectable in the cover, the lyrics and the instrumentation. Of course, theres a world of difference between Die Doraus Und Die Marinas Geben Offenherzige Antworten Auf Brennende Fragen (trans. "The Doraus And Marinas Give Openhearted Answers To Burning Questions") and the "idiots of NDW." But try explaining that to the man on the street. By the way: "Kleines Stubenmädchen" is included on this re-release as a bonus track, along with three others. On 180 gram vinyl with a printed innersleeve with photos and liner notes." - Bureau B. |

Artist: DORNER AND FRED LONBERG-HOLM, AXEL Title: Object 1 Format: CD Label: Locust Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "The Object series is Locust Musics shot at documenting worldwide currents in creative improvisation and composition but as you may expect by now, were doing it with a twist. For each release in this ongoing series, weve worked with the musicians to arrive at audio-visual ties between sounds and objects that may indicate a visual tie to the music. In this case, a bowling ball and a brillo pad grace the cover. Object 1 teams together trumpeter Axel Dorner, an internationally celebrated German instrumentalist of prodigious technique and deep sensitivity, with one of the hardest working musicians and organizers in Chicago, Cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm (The Brotzmann Tentet, The Lightbox Orchestra). Together they produce a series of 5 remarkable pieces that brew and percolate into a deeply tactical tableau of raw yet calculated /creative sound." - Locust |

On Old Punks, Doronco is joined by members of MAHER SHALAL HASH BAZ, a Frenchman, and an additional female vocalist. The band uses vocals, bassoon, and trumpet over a see-sawing battle of piano / guitar shrill balanced against warm rhythms. Their avant bar-rock style is not unlike Cinderellas Revenge recorded in the same studio as Vintage Violence with the conscious heartbreak of something like Even Serpents Shine. A bright-to-bummer-and-back-to-bright narrative flows throughout the albums nine songs.

Artist: DOUBLE LEOPARDS Title: Halve Maen Format: Double CD Label: Eclipse Country: USA Price: $17.50 |
| "After two full length LPs and a handful of CDRs comes Double Leopards magnum opus, a tome to the alveoli, paranormal science, and murderous intrigue on the high seas. A rueful journey that they are all still recovering from, the Leopards had to boldly ingest substances that while harmful to their original earthly containers, turned the ghosts of Panthalassa from transparent to opaque, allowing them to see with their mortal eyes the horrible shape of the enemy. With guitars, tapes, piano, drums, and a craggy heap of rusted electronics, they went to battle, and like the early grainy photographs of Americas Civil War, the document is poignant and will only gain significance as time passes and the medium improves." - Eclipse. |

Artist: DOUBLE, THE Title: Palm Fronds Format: CD Label: Catsup Plate Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "The Double that you hear on Palm Fronds is very different than what founding members David Greenhill and Jeff McLeod originally conceived. The band began as a guitar/drum math-rock-cum-outre-blues duo replete with intricate time signatures, multiple song sections, and an overall sense of angular complexity. After time, the two decided to focus on simplified musical structures and a more fleshed-out instrumentation and added two new members, Donald Beaman and Jacob Morris. But prior to recording what would be called Palm Fronds, Jeff hurt his hand⿿preventing him from drumming while it healed. Instead of postponing the recording, the band opted regroup and reconceive of the songs without the traditional drum kit. They experimented with drum machines and other electronic textures, learning as they went along. ⿿Mistakes that sounded good were left in (the band has a deep respect for Eno⿿s approach to music making a la Oblique Strategies, etc.) and discoveries used in one song influenced the sound palette in the others. The songs quickly took on a unique sound that was reminiscent of⿿but ultimately distinct from⿿the band⿿s live shows. Because of this, Palm Fronds is a compelling listen on a number of levels. The songs themselves could be described as singer-songwriter in scope; I hear echoes of mid-to-late period Smog and even ⿿Horse With No Name-era America (especially on ⿿Standing on a Levee, though some folks disagree). But the production, drum machines, and general vibe have a wonderfully overmodulated digital crunch, plenty of echo, broken electronics and all sorts of whatsit thrown into the mix. Which is to say that all that songwriter stuff, when The Double finally let you hear it, owes a lot to a bunch of digital dub and experimental electronic types. But through all this Palm Fronds has an impeccable balance; the production never overwhelms or obscures the essential song. So with Palm Fronds you⿿ve got ear candy AND brain candy when you get right down to it⿿lucky you." - Catsup Plate. |

Artist: DOWNES, BOB Title: Episodes At 4 AM Format: CD Label: Paradigm Discs Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "Bob Downes is most often thought of as a jazz flautist, composer and group leader, but throughout his varied career that has included such diverse musical activity as working with the John Barry Seven and playing on Eggs second LP, he also had his own fluid conceptual group Open Music with principle bass player Barry Guy and drummer Denis Smith. Other players that passed through Open Music include Chris Spedding, Kenny Wheeler, Ray Russell, Ian Carr, Henry Lowther, Harry Beckett, Harry Miller, Barre Phillips, John Stevens and many others. Besides the free jazz and jazz rock influences, Bob Downes has also been involved in much experimental music. After his early 70s releases on Philips, Vertigo and Music For Pleasure there appeared a series of 3 private pressed LPs on his own label Openian that explored this more experimental style. Episodes at 4AM is the second in this series and is by far the strangest of the three. Released in 1974 and commissioned by the Welsh Dance Theatre, it consisted of 10 short duos performed by Wendy Benka on zither, dulcimer and small percussion, and Downes on flutes, various percussion and plenty of electronic manipulation. Nearly every sound on this LP was processed using a variety of shimmering delays, controlled feedback, reverb and speed change to create a haunting and delirious mix of musical styles and atmospheres. Taken from the master tapes, this 33-minute LP has been expanded for the CD release with 35 minutes of previously unreleased experimental works, mostly from the same period, that cover even more ground than the LP, including one piece made entirely from the sounds of various phone booths on the streets of New York." -Paradigm Discs. |

After their first legendary 1970 heavy-psych album, the keyboardist changed, and the band left their garage-y Doors influences to create their own sound. The music on these well produced stereo-recordings exists only on acetate (5 copies), and drifted more into the British vein of progressive rock, like King Crimson, Pink Floyd or Yes, but also reflects US-Westcoast feeling like Its a Beautiful Day. By 1972 Dragonwyck was performing Moody Blues complete Days of Future Passed live onstage, which turned out extremely well, so this is for sure the strongest note youll recognize. The 10 original cuts are intense and very unique with strong melodies/vocals, heavy guitar solos and an extreme variety of keyboard and vocal sounds -- an awesome mix of heavy underground rock with classical chamber-music style/elements. Included youll find a bonus 45 record (with pic. sleeve) which was released in 1974, also a poster with a bio, authentic press-releases and cool photos, remastered from the original mastertapes -- one of the finest unreleased American progressive-psychedelic hippie-art rock-albums -- truly a masterpiece in originality, creativity and musicianship!" - World In Sound. |

Artist: DRAINOLITH Title: Fighting! Format: LP Label: Spectrum Spools Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "Alexander Moskos is a seasoned Canadian avant-garde musician active in projects such as Alterity Problem with Joel Taylor and the legendary Thames, who had an incredible 7" release on American Tapes in late 2011. Drainolith, his solo guise, has been active since the mid-90s but has remained relatively under-the-radar with mysterious private press cassette and CD-R releases. In 2009, Moskos picked up a heavy U.S. tour regiment and caught the attention of U.S. underground heads with impressive live sets. It was around this time that Moskos began to dial in songs for his debut Fighting! LP, which Spectrum Spools is eager to present. Its important to keep listeners on their toes and Spectrum Spools is fully psyched to hit you with an album of delusional blues -- littered with fractured synth, feedback and seriously cryptic personal content. One of Spectrum Spools first releases with strong lyrical focus, Alex knocks it out of the park with his synthetic voice resonating like a wasted Robert Ashley on Ambien. The tracks rage with a one-man Twin Infinitives style, with guitar riffs so fucked that they make Neil Haggerty sound like Les Paul. Damaged, random syn-drum triggers and MS-10 crackling go fully ballistic over dark and personal narratives. Despite the chaotic nature of the music, there is a defined and cohesive song structure to each track which makes everything more confusing but also highly enjoyable to listen to. If you miss bands like Shadow Ring and Royal Trux, but wonder where the logical next step would be in their absence: step in this direction -- we promise youll be pleased. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates + Mastering, Berlin." - Spectrum Spools. |

Artist: DREAM Title: Get Dreamy Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $44.00 |
| "600 numbered copies. 180 gram vinyl in a heavy sleeve with large poster and insert. Dreams Get Dreamy is perhaps the most fantastic and unique underground album from Scandinavia. Recorded in 1967 it was the first LP by legendary guitarist Terje Rypdal. A year later Terje recorded his first solo album also for Polydor. The album Get Dreamy has great original songs full of wild fuzz guitar, swirling Hammond organ, sound effects and strong vocals. The musicals influences could be Cream and Jimi Hendrix with the lyrical touch of Procol Harum. All songs very well produced and recorded in Stockholm. Dream started straight away with a full album which was not common in the musical world in 1967. Most bands produced singles, first. With a lot enthusiastic help from Norway, including Terje Rypdal, plus the cooperation of many photographers, we are happy to put this album out with a big poster insert including a great band story and many, many unseen photos. The album was mastered in 24bit direct from the original master tapes. So the sound is really good and many tracks you can hear for the first time in full stereo (the original Polydor pressing had half of the tracks in mono). So, this might be for us on of the most important releases of this year since this took so much work and passion. We just love this album." -Shadoks. |

Artist: DREAM/AKTION UNIT Title: Blood Shadow Rampage Format: CD Label: Volcanic Tongue Country: UK Price: $17.50 |
| "Volcanic Tongue is proud to present the first ever release by the Dream/Aktion Unit, a free-thinking avant garage Ur-kestra based around the central kernel of guitarist Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), saxophonist Paul Flaherty and drummer Chris Corsano (Six Organs Of Admittance, Sunburned Hand Of The Man et al) and featuring Heather Leigh Murray (Taurpis Tula / Jandek / Charalambides) on pedal steel and vocals and Matt Heyner (No-Neck Blues Band/Test/Angelblood) on upright bass. The Dream/Aktion Unit were originally birthed as a side-project to allow Thurston Moore and Jim ORourke to fully explore the kind of ecstatic power blues that their work in Sonic Youth repeatedly implied. The addition of legendary New England saxophonist Paul Flaherty and powerhouse drummer Chris Corsano provided them with an umbilical connection straight to the source of modern musical freedom, while working to liberate them from previously articulated modes of known rock-speak. As a quartet, the group tore through a bunch of the USAs most winning festival spaces ˿ their ground-levelling F/X pedal assault at the De Stijl/Freedom From bash in Minneapolis in 2004 being a particular landmark - with both guitarists drawing creative sustenance from the kind of ego-obliterating drums/horn interaction previously articulated by players like The Reverend Frank Wright, Glenn Spearman, Denis Charles and Albert Ayler. Come 2005 ˿ with sub-underground modes enjoying a particularly unlikely shot in the sun ˿ The Dream/Aktion unit began to take on role of some kind spontaneous think-tank, with a revolving door policy towards membership and a commitment to the demands of the moment resulting in almost orchestral incarnations featuring members of Burning Star Core, Hair Police and Vampire Belt all pushing the hell out of the envelope. In May 2005 Moore, Flaherty and Corsano brought the Dream/Aktion Unit to Stirling, Scotland, for the final Le Weekend festival to be curated by David Keenan/Volcanic Tongue. With O⿿Rourke permanently out of the picture due to various film and musical commitments, Matt Heyner aka Count Heynowski of NNCK and Heather Leigh of Taurpis Tula stepped up. The results were mind-blowing, with the quintet tearing through a non-stop gush of energy/ideas without resorting to base musical concerns like dialogue or listening with your ears. This was pure simultaneity at some kind of peak of flux. Moores role was key. He would move from these kind of suggestive, shepherding chords that would work lubes of motion into the back line, where Corsano and Heyner hooked up to such a degree that it was hard to separate their individual tonal and percussive points. They sounded like a friggin combine harvester. Murray and Flaherty were floating on their own particular plane, one that worked to reconcile the insane pulse of blood from the base of their spine with the juice of pure vision. Flaherty⿿s sound touches on a whole bunch of jazz modes while re-situating the tradition somewhere way upwind of contemporary sound-as-thought while Heather Leighs exquisitely violent pedal steel stylings and free vocal improvisations seemed to touch on aspects of both Patty Waters, Lydia Lunch and Keiji Hainos flesh-extensions while resolutely refusing anything approaching previously-articulated tongue. The whole thing was recorded and mixed straight to 24 track and the results are what you have in your hands. The first ever document of the collective thought of what⿿s easily the cream of the subterranean cup. Packaged in deluxe hard card gatefold sleeves with specially-commissioned eye-gouging video nasty-style artwork from Miss Karen Constance of Brighton aka Karen Lollypop of Blood Stereo/Smack Music 7/Chocolate Monk this is the first ever real CD release from Volcanic Tongue after a run of limited and highly collectable art-edition CD-Rs." - Volcanic Tongue. |

This unique album by Bill Holt was first released in 1974, and then re-released to critical acclaim on the Gear Fab label in 2000. Now, Dreamies 2006 Special Edition gives fans what they asked for -- better sonic reproduction of these wonderful, playful, aural collages. This remaster and embellishment was crafted from the original 1974 vinyl, retrieving much of the previously lost stereo and audio detail. The two 26 minute tracks Program Ten and Program Eleven now include track listings for more cue and play points. And, for those who are curious about the legendary Moog Sonic Six Synth, Ovation acoustic, and Teac four track used to make Dreamies , this deluxe package includes a six page insert with never before published photos. Dreamies was always way ahead of the times in 1974 and became an international cult classic.

| "The first vinyl document of the Dredd and MV & EE collab recordings, this is a reissue of two deep sides originally released in 2004, as companion volumes to Kissing the Contemporary Bliss, in extremely limited runs. The sessions behind this record represent a singular apex of high in the catalogs of both Dredd Foole and MV & EE, where the playing and being of each of the three individuals involved coalesces into a singularly cosmic perception and extrapolation of the blues doctors truth, while simultaneously, individual sonorities and specialities drive their own Cadillac. A major work of contemporary psychedelic blues in its own right, a truly rare sighting of Dredd Foole on wax, this LP is also an essential piece of the puzzle for COM enthusiasts; this is a key document of the star-gobbling sound MV & EE were toying with as their private universe back in the early-mid oughts, including such sides as Lunar Blues and Cosmic Dust and the Electrobeam Hermit Thrush. Like those albums, MVs patented spectrasound techniques are on full display, creating a dazzling living environment in which Dredds otherworldly and piercingly free vocals orbit. Classic and singular psychedelic visioning, the sound here has almost has no known parallels I can think of, outside of Buckley/Underwood, or possibly Robbie Basho, but just gone." - Humito. |

They appeared on the 1983 What Syndrome cassette compilation tape along with the Fartz, the Rejecters, Mr. Epp, Silly Killers, and Solger, and played loud, noisy, and primitive punk rock.

Originally intended to be an outlet to showcase the more Dionysian improvisational impulses of the core members of Town & Country (Ben Vida, Jim Dorling, Liz Payne, Josh Abrams), DRMWPN has grown into an amorphous collective that at any given show may include percussionist Michael Zerang, The Cairo Gangs Emmett Kelly, Califones Jim Becker, vocalist Dan Mohr, Million Tongues Festival impresario and rock historian Steve Krakow (a.k.a. Plastic Crimewave), pedal steel and guitar player Sam Wagster, or any other number of Chicagos free rock/jazz/experimental luminaries among its ranks. Drawing on a shared knowledge and love of minimalism, ethnic devotional music, jazz, rock and improvised ecstatic sound, DRMWPNs sublime live sets are augmented by the flickering hallucinatory generations of their Bryon Gysin-designed dreamachine." - HBSP-2X.

Artist: DRUID PERFUME Title: Tin Boat to Tuna Town Format: LP Label: Bumbo Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "There is a stock scene in movies set in colonized countries in the 60s and 70s: A journalist or adventurer or doctor or spy, fresh in the country, goes from plane to taxi cab. The cab swerves through the city, stealing space from bicycles, scooters, buses, and donkey carts. People dodge the car, the car dodges animals. Tires groove into mud and dung, hit concrete and lurch forward. Lights crackle and explode from black & white to color to blindness. Now make music out of that visual. Imagine horns lurching forward like an elephant drunk on palm wine. Guitars slither asp-like and sting. Over a tight flash of a rhythm section barks the town seer. This is how I hear Tin Boat to Tuna Town, the second album by DRUID PERFUME. A couple years ago, this Detroit five piece released a stunning debut on PIGS, followed by three killer 45s on the X! and Italy Records label. All were snatched up and raved about. I am sure the same excitement will meet Tin Boat to Tuna Town, their best record yet. Members of Druid Perfume have served time in the much acclaimed PIRHANAS and other outfits including a short stint with rock & roll legend KIM FOWLEY, which sounds about right. Theyve played a bunch of shows in the past and are hitting parts of the US right now. Check them out, buy Tin Boat to Tuna Town. Theres no band around like them."-Scott Soriano, July 2010 |

Artist: DRUMM, KEVIN Title: Imperial Distortion Format: Double CD Label: Hospital Productions Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
|
"What does a person do when faced with a work like Imperial Distortion? There are rare moments in an artists work where they reveal a greater truth. Kevin Drumm has already made such a statement with his last major solo work, 2002s Sheer Hellish Miasma. Where that record took noise music to a new level of near-impenetrable exactitude, Imperial Distortion is an altogether different beast. Beauty as an aesthetic can be as terrifying as horror, desire unfulfilled, romance that lingers and never goes away, no matter how disappointing. A preoccupation with death can be the only result. On this extended long-form release, Kevin Drumm comes face to face with minimal drone music and confronts the genre by providing one of its absolute pinnacles at the forefront; movement. Drone music at its most concentrated and ably performed has build and depth in its tones. Although there might be the illusion of stasis, the opposite is true. From the opening 20-minute track Guillain-Barre, the mood of the album is laid clear. The arrangements are shadowy layers of soundtrack-like tones not entirely unlike the work that Popul Vuh provided for Herzogs films. By track two, More Blood and Guts, with its ominous bell tones, it becomes apparent that there is a true nothing thats associated with these sounds, other than the mood-inducing hypnosis and the feeling of drowning, yet having no ability to fight the slow pull. The middle portion of the record is Snow, which was released as a limited cassette last year on Hospital Productions. This material was a teaser for the full album Imperial Distortion. The tracks have an almost ballad-esque sense of elegance, using tone and frequency as melodic portals to nowhere. The sustain in the piece suggests a weight while remaining alarmingly pleasant to the ears. The tension suggests an anxiety that never truly dies. The alarm comes from the juxtaposition of tones and mood. While the tones may sound gorgeous in their purity, the mood implies a profound sense of unease and perhaps an acceptance of the inevitability of existential dilemma. This point is most thoroughly evidenced by the albums closer, We All Get It In the End. While the piece starts out with lullaby ease, a few minutes in, an equally severe dark drone eclipses the light and the night takes over. Here in the enveloped sounds, the clouds pass over the moonlight creating a spectral dark that is unforgettable in its intensity. To answer the initial question of Imperial Distortion, this is a work that commands intellectual and emotional commitment on the levels of the greatest works to come from this genre. Kevin Drumm has accomplished that rare balance to create a masterwork that no one has yet to come close to in this era. Your best bet is to surrender."-Hospital. Repressed!

"Thin Wrist Recordings presents the expanded and definitive double LP
edition of Kevin Drumms groundbreaking first album, originally released in 1997.
Featuring some of the most fiercely abstract and organic guitar work ever heard,
Drumms debut is both jarring and completely alien. Dubbed by some as
the greatest prepared guitar record ever recorded it prefigured (and
continues to trump) almost an entire decade or so of contemporary
"out" music that would follow. Beautiful and completely essential.
This edition includes an entire fourth side of previously unreleased
recordings from Drumms personal archive, all recorded in the same era
as the original album. It also includes entirely new artwork featuring
the body of the actual guitar used to record the album.
The album comes housed in a heavy textured gatefold jacket and
includes two full color inserts.
High quality 2 x 180 gram vinyl pressed at Pallas Germany and mastered
by Rashad Becker at D&M Berlin. Digital download included." - Thinwrist.

backyard that still hasnt quite been fenced off yet. Those running
around Chicago chasing down the sound in the mid-90s shouldve
already known about this guy and his contributions both in and out of
the relative spotlight. For those far from the city winds, thankfully
they mightve gotten the message in the form of this missive. In the
afterglow of later love letters titled Sheer Hellish Miasma and
Imperial Distortion, its absolutely overdue that this first musty
green postcard be dug out, polished off, and framed.
Judged by its understated title, "Self-Titled" aka "Guitar" is incredibly
literal -- what you hear is what you get. In the simplest
considerations, the ensuing connotations and possibilities are wide
open; the real-time velocity of urgent decision and movement are
wrapped in a clearly-mapped compositional endurance that continues to
stand firmly in the relative spotlights of this day. No surprise then,
that even all these years later, we would still be trying to figure
out exactly at which table Kevin should squarely sit.
They say that every kid who heard this record immediately went out and
grabbed a busted guitar with a scratchy selector switch, ready to
subject their friends to fuzzy pauses of amp hum. I know of at least
four."- C. Spencer Yeh, spring 2010, Brooklyn NY.

Artist: DRUMM, KEVIN Title: Sheer Hellish Miasma Format: CD Label: Editions Mego Country: Austria Price: $15.50 |
| "Originally released in 2002, now reissued with a bonus track. Utilizing guitar, tapes, mics, pedals, analog synthesizer and some computer assistance, Chicagos own Kevin Drumm concocted a sonic beast with Sheer Hellish Miasma. One is taken on an intense journey of storming feedback, open audio onslaught and somewhat savaged sonics. The extreme end of anarchic electronics and possibly a hint of musical violence is present throughout much of the disc. An essential release capturing Drumm at his most ferocious and most inventive. Its an exhilarating, visceral test of endurance brimming with demonic humor and a tour of Drumms ever-expanding sonic palette. For seasoned noise veterans, Sheer Hellish Miasma offers a bracing soundscape filled with exquisitely abrasive textures and more than enough hidden detail to warrant repeated listening - a distinct voice in the increasingly same-sounding world of abstract electronic noise. For everyone else, Drumms journey through the noisy underworld is likely to inspire fear or, in an optimistic case, fearful admiration. This reissue comes with an additional track, "Impotent Hummer," taken from the same period - a 13-minute drone piece that draws the listener into the forthcoming blizzard. In total? A din of arms, the fierce swell of damaged drone and the shriek of subtle shifting sonic slaughter ... for the seasoned, a bountiful sonic feast awaits, for the meek its intense and rewarding - noise rarely sounds this exhilarating. Revised artwork by Stephen OMalley. Re-mastered at Piethopraxis, Köln, December 2006." - Mego. |

Drumms subtle work with moving, roving drones keeps the pace and tempos moving with Hitchcockian tension while details of a story emerge with swells and fades as other sequences are lost in the clatter of long chambers of isolation adorned with the trimmings of pagan beauties.

| " too killer journeys... Dremcrom and Relax, Hunter. Both recorded live. One side completely in the analog realm; from the boys cassette deck straight to 180 gram black wax. Strictly limited to 300 copies. Hand screened on thrifted album covers turned inside out. No two alike. Side A - Dremcrom is a sideways drift through the earths crust which confirms that the core truly is molten. Drunjus bore a hole straight to the center of your brain. Live at the infamous Wisco Biker Bar... Side B - Relax Hunter is a more galactic affair. With enough molten fuel to get their ship airborn, Drunjus escape the atmosphere and enter a 300 year cryogenic sleep... co-released with Tree Tapes..." - Ear Jerk |
