Artist: E.M.A.K. Title: Emak 3 Format: LP Label: Originalton West Country: Germany Price: $30.00 |
|
"EMAK started in 1981 as a loose collaboration of several individuals interested in electronic music at a time when almost no one else seemed to be interested in electronic music at all.
The collaborators on EMAK 1:
Matthias Becker - owned a small 8-track studio at that time.
Kurt Mill - had the initial idea for the project and co-produced the first album with M. Becker.
Klaus Stühlen - a keyboard wizard of local fame interested in rare and special sounds - he worked as a freelance sessionplayer and composer of film music.
Michael Filz - an amateur muscian with a faible for electronic music.
EMAK 2: (released 1984) Becker, Mill, Stühlen again.
Michael Filz had left and Peter Fröhlich joined who contributed some tracks to emak 2 which reflected the NDW movement which was en vogue at that time.
Beckers track a lhorizon clervaux with its combination of gregorian chants and electronics already presents the concept which which Michael Cretu several years later should earn a fortune with his project "enigma".
EMAK 3:(released 1986) it`s Becker and Stühlen again, Fröhlich and Mill left.
New: U.Fuchs : bass player and multi-instrumentalist and M. Peschko: Soundengineer with a faible for minimal sound design.
Soundwise definetely the best of the emak records , featuring strange Harry Partch instrumentation on no city zoo in ottawa and the voice of the late John Peel on "sunken galleons an pirate pictures". To be honest: John Peel, who was still alive at that time did not like the track at all. Maybe because Becker had taken parts of Peels voice from an old tyrannosaurus rex album without having asked peel before doing so." - Minimal-Wave.org (Artist Bio).

HABIT has been inhabiting our secular sphere for many moons now, and were palpitating wildly in anticipation of their maiden vinyl forging on this debut 7" single.

"The legendary and never before heard 1968 recordings of Genesis P-Orridge and friends, transfered and mastered from the ORIGINAL tape, sounding better than the actual first (and only) pressed acetate from the Porridge With Everything Archives. Recorded in a roofspace attic during the summer of 1968 by Genesis P-Orridge and friends, and later pressed to a SINGLE acetate in 1969, this recording is probably the most documented (yet never heard) missing piece of musical history in the legacy of COUM Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle, and Psychic TV. We are proud to announce this as our first release, remastered and preserved in a limited vinyl pressing, with liner notes written by Genesis he/r-self." - DAIS. "In 1965, while attending Hull University,[verification needed] Neil subsumed himself into the character of Genesis P-Orridge. He used the name for his first pressed recording, "Early Worm" in 1968 (of which only one copy was pressed), and legally changed his name in 1971. The follow-up to this album of improvisation on homemade instruments, "Catching the Bird" was never released.
At this point, the Megson family was living in Solihull, a prosperous town near Birmingham. The attic of the house on Links Drive was not only P-Orridges den but his first sound studio, where "Early Worm" was recorded.
According to Genesis P-Orridge, Deroy Sound, the lab where "Early Worm" was pressed, also pressed speeches of Adolf Hitler for serial killer Ian Brady, recorded from radio and television by Brady.[citation needed] The Throbbing Gristle song Very Friendly is about Brady and his partner-in-crime Myra Hindley." -Wikipedia.

Artist: EAST BIONIC SYMPHONIA Title: s/t Format: LP Label: LAM Country: Price: $17.50 |
|
"At long last a chance for the adventurous listener to actually get to hear what all the hip name checkers only prattle about. At first, East Bionic Symphonia seems to be just another one of the many legendary Japanese improvising groups of the late 1970s. However, in this case the mystical reputation is justified. Recorded live in July, 1976, the two long tracks on this LP sound like the unique, solitary, and sprawling soundscape that a narcotic Amon Duul and AMM could have played in the backyard of your favorite Buddhist temple. Originally the group was the class project of a collective of students of minimal violinist Takahisa Kosugi (Taj Mahal Travellers founder). The line-up includes a couple of names well known to PSF aficionados. There is Kazuo Imai, who also played with the Taj Mahal Travellers and released a great solo CD, How Will We Change, a few years ago. Also, there is Masami Tada, a respected sound-sculptor with a number of solo releases. This is a limited and numbered reissue (500 copies) of their sole LP, originally released in 1976 on ALM records, and a permanent resident on many a self-respecting wantlist for years now."

Ackermann. While there they scored a record deal for Angelblood with Capt. Trip, and traveled to
Osaka to record an album for Japan Overseas with the Yoshimi and Atari of the Boredoms, joined by
in-house musician Yoshida. Recording and recording, only breaking to visit the local Shinto
shrine, the ensemble found their sound in a blend of NNCK primitive shaman percussion with the
Boredoms penchant for electronically-inspired repetition, Ritas Eastern European vocal
eccentricities, and the ocassional strum of the sitar. Yoshimi handled all mixing and re-mixing.
A beautiful full-color picture disc with art by Yoshimi and Rita. Is it middle-eastern? Indeed,
it is Eastenburia." --S@1. �??Sounds like one long drug overdose.�?� - Scaruffi. Last copies of this 2000 release.

Artist: EASTLEY, MAX Title: Installation Recordings (1973 - 2008) Format: Double CD Label: Paradigm Discs Country: UK Price: $24.00 |
| "This 2CD is essentially a retrospective of Eastleys installation work. As such, it updates and adds many new examples to the 1975 release New and Rediscovered Musical Instruments, which was released as a split LP with David Toop on Brian Enos Obscure Records. This is Eastleys first solo CD. Of the 35 tracks, only the last two have any guests (the most virtuosic moment being George Lewis playing a grass blade). All the other pieces are either powered by the natural forces of wind and water, or else are motor driven gallery installations. The ethereal sounds of the aoelian harps, the haunting aeolian flutes, and the violent tension of his aerophone installations are hallmark Eastley sounds. These sounds, and many others, sit amidst a wide range of acoustic settings, from windy hill tops to quiet brooks, residential street scenes to coastal shores. The indoor recordings are no less varied, ranging across a rich variety of acoustics and gallery spaces from tiny micro sounds to large scale amplification. Wood, metal and stone are brought to life with electricity. Although there are many photos in the 20-page booklet, much is left to the imagination to work out how the sounds are made. With this limited access to the visual, the focus is pulled towards the musicality of the sounds themselves. This musicality is reinforced by the slow cross fades of most of the pieces from indoors to outdoors to form a series of suites. The recordings mostly date from the mid 70s, but there are pieces from later decades. Nearly everything was recorded either to Revox or Uher and occasionally cassette, using what microphones were available at the time. Recent recordings are digital. The varying quality of the recording set-ups across this 2CD adds yet another dimension to the shifting sound fabric of this anthology." - Paradigm. |

Nearly four days or four years in the making (depending on who you ask), III is a more psychedelic and perfectly circular outing then their previous classics of paranoid ecstasy Wild and Inside and Sick to Death. Somewhere in between the subatomic joy of Primal Screams "Keep Your Dreams" and the desperate loneliness of Same Place the Fly Got Smashed-era Guided By Voices lies the weird and wonderful world of III. Throw a dash of Iron Maidens Wasted Years in the cauldron, stir and dip a cigarette in it to smoke. This is music to drink to, die to, fall in love to and quit your job to. Drive to Alaska. Fuck it.

Artist: EAT SKULL/GANGLIANS Title: Split Format: 7" Label: Dulc-I-Tone Country: USA Price: $6.50 |
| "This Jabba-sized double-shot of damaged pop has finally dropped! At first needle-drop, once might find this an odd pairing, but give these songs a few minutes to leak its glorious glass-shard-spiked goo into your aural cavities, and itll make sense why the Skull loved Sacramentos GANGLIANS enough to bring them on tour and split a record with em. While with EAT SKULL you have to get your nails a bit dirty digging through their lovingly antagonistic nego-vibe surface scuzz to get to the underlying tunefulness, both bands share a knack for oblique, and/or fucked-up, good pop songs. Ganglians first trip to the vinyl farm is a perfect example of their lazily catchy, Great Unwashed-like, stoned-out folk-strum (emphasis on STONED). Pop songs were specifically requested from EAT SKULL this time around, and they certainly delivered in their own special way with two songs from the "Sick to Death" sessions: one a straight-ahead fly-by-night scrappy punk-pop number, and the other a fractured dirge-pop epic. (Ever been whale-watching? Well, if youve ever found yourself leaning over the rail, waiting for that next burning throat-surge, just now imagine that at that very moment, a great song popped into your head. There, now youve got Leave the Universe.) EAT SKULL are currently working on their second LP for Siltbreeze & look out for coming Ganglians releases on Woodsist & Weird Forest. 400 copies, silkscreen-on-offset-printed covers, ridiculous artwork." - Dulc-i-tone |

Artist: EATON, WILLIAM Title: Music By William Eaton Format: CD Label: EM Country: Japan Price: $24.00 |
| Originally released in 1978, this was a private-press album from an experimental stringed instrument builder (the photos of said instruments in this booket are mindblowing). First time re-issue on CD. "When I started building instruments, playing guitar took on a whole new dimension. The process of envisioning the design, drawing the plans, making templates, cutting, carving, and gluing revealed new insights about the construction, inner workings and physical mechanics of guitars and stringed instruments. From the conception to the birth of each instrument, new layers of meaning unfolded. During this time I sought out quiet natural environments to play and listen to the voice of my 6-string, 12-string, 26-string (Elesion Harmonium) and double neck quadraphonic electric guitar. Deep canyons contained a beautiful resonant quality and echo. A star lit night with a full moon provided all the reflection and endless space by which to project music into the cosmos. The sound of a bubbling stream and singing birds added a natural symphonic tapestry to a melody or chord pattern. These were solo sessions where I felt integrally connected to all that was happening. As I perceived it, everything was participating in a serendipitous dance. Everything was part of the music. I decided to record an instrumental album of music. The idea was simple; it would be a series of tone poems with no titles or any information attached, only the words Music by William Eaton. It was conceived as a limited edition of 1000 copies, with no more to be pressed. While some of the songs evolved out of composed chord progressions, most of the songs were played spontaneously, only on the occasion of the recording. These improvised songs havent been played since." -William Eaton. |

"Heres a collection of archival material from this mid-to-late-70s Cincinnati proto-punk band, with influences from MX-80 SOUND, THE RAMONES and PATTI SMITH, who played around town (largely at loft parties) between 1976 and 1979. They did manage to release one 7" in 1978 that got some airplay on local radio, though apparently there were no other releases. There was also nobody named Ed Davis in the band, so there. This LP collects those 7" tracks as well as material from a radio broadcast, demos and a live track. Cover art includes photos, liner notes and a band bio." -Rave Up. Cool Unnatural Axe-meets-Vertical Slit 70s beard punk - the single, while a winner, is one of the less appealing things on here. Highly recommended!

Artist: EDLER, HANS Title: Elektron Kukeso Format: CD Label: Boy Wonder Country: Sweden Price: $24.00 |
|
"(Elektron Kukéso) was released in a small edition on Edlers own independent label Marilla. The music was recorded during many long late night sessions at the Electronic Music Studio (EMS) in the Swedish capital Stockholm. At the time, EMS was one of the worlds most advanced studios for serious electronic composition. The facilities were even praised by no less a person than Pierre Schaeffer the father of the concrete music. In 1970, EMS could present a freshly installed computer which had cost 7 million Swedish crowns. Unlike the moogs, the computer had no keyboard, but had to be operated by a control console which occupied a room by itself and was arranged as a rectangle with a total length of 10 yards (circa 9 meters). It was only after having taken lessons in mathematics and programming that Edler was allowed to work on the gigantic machine, which in spite of its steep price wasnt very reliable. Against all odds, Edler managed to finish the recordings. The result was a one-of-a-kind-album too original to be copied. Elektron Kukéso is hi-tech and low-fi at the same time. Try to imagine Stockhausen on acid going berserk on Carnaby Street. Old school electronic breakbeats team up with the sound of vintage tone and noise generators all filtered through a psychedelic kaleidoscope by a frustrated mind on high speed. The record comes with digipack-sleeve, OBI, a 24-page colour booklet with full story and pictures, plus a reprint of the original promotion-poster from 1971." - Boy Wonder.

Artist: EFFI BRIEST Title: Rhizomes Format: LP Label: Sacred Bones Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "Rhizomes is the debut full length from the all-female outfit, EFFI BRIEST. The nine-song opus, Rhizomes, unleashes a propulsive beat that drives angular guitars and bone chilling vocals over dark bass, dense drones and clattering, dance-like percussion. The atmospheric psychedelia owes as much to Arthur Russell as to Amon Duul. Rhizomes includes two of the bands UK singles on Loog Records, and seven more previously-unreleased original songs. There are brilliant videos for both singles; the cinematic ⿿Long Shadow, directed by Brandon LaGanke, is making its way around the internet, and showcases the six-piece during their most formidable hour. Mak Kerns stunning animation for EFFI BRIESTs palindrome song, ⿿Mirror Rim, is bound to boomerang back if you missed it the first time. Coming soon is a split with Peaches on Blast First Petite as part of the labels ongoing 12-inch tribute series to Suicide." -Sacred Bones |

Artist: EGG, EGGS Title: The Cleansing Power Of Fruit Format: LP Label: Feeding Tube Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Despite Matt Kreftings resistance to all things fruity, there is little doubt that these friendly non-mineral, non-animal products of nature have the capacity to flush poisons through our internal trails far better than most anything else. Especially eggs. Still, it is an egg that remains Dave "Mr. E. Candy" Russells muse as he fumbles his way through a vocal universe that is collapsing around his French ears. Something like a cross between Crocus Behemoth, Little Lulu and Colonel Bruce Hampton, Russell is on fire here, his vocals emerging from fruit-caked lips as though they were pearls shot from the buttocks of an all-seeing vizier. What Russell does exactly is hard to say, but its slow-kid, sing-song quality is bizarrely captivating. And the band here is a goddamn all-star Valley ensemble -- Tim Sheldon, Andy Crespo, Brett Robinson, Ted Lee, Vanessa Brewster, John Moloney, Jack Callahan, Ian St. George and special guests -- Matt Valentine, Jeff Hartford, Conrad Capistran and Lisette Lopez. Recorded over the last couple of years in various places around Western Massachusetts, it makes a strong case for Egg Eggs as the most discordian combo in this part of the universe. The comparison your brain will keep returning to is the Hampton Grease Band, updated to shine stylishly in a post-noise-rock milieu. It shares the same mix of brilliance, annoyingness and sheer what-the-fuckery as Music To Eat. And that aint hay. Nor is it fruit. Hurray!" - Feeding Tube. |

"..The Room Isnt Big Enough is the creation of five veteran Columbus, Ohio scenesters gathering together for a handful of nights at Tommy Jays Barn/Studio in Harrisburg, Ohio. Most of the songs were written "especially for" this project.

It was generally agreed that some documentation to that fellowship should be recorded before the participants doddered off into "Old Age". This album _is_ that testimony. Although a good time was had, this album is not "good timey". These thirteen songs reflect the blues, folk, and punk roots heritage of all involved. Each song was sung by its lyricist, with the exception of "Half Off", which was sung by Don Howland / written by Ron House.

"under the hood" so-to-speak and it sounds much more like a dude

of this recording, recorded in a cathedral in Hamburg a couple of

"featuring two sound poetry recordings from 1973, "Arbeiten - ein Stück für alle" (already released as tape on the S Press label back in 1973) and "Cudrefin (minuit) - Found Music No.1" (previously unreleased). the first 250 copies include an onesided bonus 7inch with his track "Dont you may be, the ssential interview" from the famous "Futura - Poesia Sonora" boxset (Cramps Records)." - You Dont Have To Call It Music.
"Nikolaus Einhorn is a young German writer who has already produced a good number of sound poems. He is trying to realize a non-abstract oral poetry free from all written notation, a construction which comes directly from the mind and memory. "Dont you may be, the essential interview", composed in 1975 represents a hypothetical interview with the U.S. musician John Cage, the representative of non-music, that is, of that school which, by rejecting the forms and structures of composition, has brought about a crisis in traditional and contemporary musical composition, and which, using different techniques principally of the aleatory type, affirms the validity of musical silence, also on ontological grounds. In our opinion this "essential interview" establishes a series of tautological circularities, underlined by the repetition of Cages "smile / little laugh". Nikolaus Einhorn was born at Dresden in 1940. He studied German and English in Munich and earns his living as a teacher at the Dusseldorf high-school. In 1970 he co-founded the S Press Tape Series, a label that was dedicated to acoustical literature (sound poetry), which today is one of the most important means of diffusion of experimental poetry. He has published numerous essays on the avant-garde of the twentieth century and a volume of essays on the literary work of Kurt Schwitters, published by the magazine "Text + Kritik". He has also produced radio programs on such authors as Otto Nebel, Raoul Hausmann, Henri Chopin, and on the poetry of the North American Indians." - UbuWeb. |

| "1996 CD reissue of this German album, originally issued as a private press by the band in 1975. Named after a book by Clark Ashton Smith, the concept of pronouncing their name is an acquired taste. Much easier is listening to their music, and odd and primitive mixture of mid-70s underground styles. This CD is from master tapes, with 4 bonus tracks. "Ejwuusl Wessahqqan were a Munich band acquainted with Amon Düül II whose style is vary similar to theirs. Firmly structured songs were the exception amongst broad improvisations combining spontaneous musical ideas. A special characteristic of their style is the absence of vocals and guitar which was replaced by the self-made seven string filouphone. The highlight of the CD is the outstanding, highly psychedelic bonus track The Crystal by the follow-up band Koala-Bär." - Garden of Delights. |

"I couldnt help but to be taken aback when I finally heard this. Atmospheric yet propulsory, serrated by slippery synth-hooks and a newfound tightness (a step away from the larval, early-Royal Trux carelessness by which the band used to embody) and about as discomforting as the surreal experience of stumbling into a beerless after-after-party for the first time. It took a day or two to finally get a good handle on this, but I have no problem with a little work when the sounds are so riveting. Perhaps the most exciting thing about this EP is that, like Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments before them, and the band manages to counter such morally deflating atonality from left-field, with dynamic and youthful vigor."-Sean Wright the Z-Gun

All of the weirdness is distills into a single that hangs around in the neighborhood of their earlier singles. A tight pop music take on a thousand-million little bits of twenty-five years of underground music, all kind of run through the energy you get from recording and practicing around ghosts, corpses, milk crates full of fan club vinyl and pictures of obscure American Aristocrats in a downtown funeral home in Columbus, OH.

Artist: EL-G Title: Mil Pluton Format: LP Label: Alter Country: UK Price: $21.00 |
| "Èlg is Laurent Gerard. Since 2000, Élg has made a name for himself in the experimental underground performing solo in venues across Europe and the USA and also in the trio Reines DAngleterre with Jo Tanz and Ghédalia Tazartès. Over the years he has built a complex body of work which has been spread amongst reputable labels such as Kraak, SS, Lal Lal Lal, Taped Sounds and Nashazphone. Now, four years since his debut, Tout Ploie, Alter and Hundebiss present Mil Pluton, the second Èlg album on vinyl. In that time, Gerard has knuckled down with a bunch of new gear and built a fresh sound which is difficult to categorize but still carries many of the characteristics of his previous work. One can hear EBM-esque rhythms, scalpel-sharp musique concrète-style editing, dense layers of swampy electronics which open up the same hypnotic spirals that the Èlg of old did. Vocally, Èlg has evolved beyond conventional language and now works with an Esperanto-like form of alien linguistics to front the sonic mass. If your musical interests sit within the realm of outer limits electronics and have been drawn towards the work of Throbbing Gristle, Bernard Szajner, Coil and Tazartes, then look no further. Mil Pluton also features musical contributions from Jo Tanz, Jean-Philippe Gross, Bill Kouligas (PAN), TG Gondard and Jan Anderzen (Tomutonttu/Kemialliset Ystävät). All tracks were composed, recorded and mixed by Èlg in Brussels in 2011, then mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin in December of that same year, and pressed lovingly onto 150 gram vinyl by Alter and Hundebiss in September 2012.

"We first heard the music of Paris-based Laurent Gérard when he forgot a demo-cdr in the tourvan of Jack Rose last year, and directly became one of our favourite French acts of the moment.
él-g makes a strange mix of French ballads and avant-garde song-writing. A pig-headed approach of the French language and ingenious arrangments are the core business of this dude. Tout Ploie is a compilation of both the best tracks from previously released cdrs and new work. él-g appears as a sort of modern day miniature version of Serge Gainsbourg on this debut-lp. The female singer, Charlene Darling, who accompanies him throughout the most part of the record only makes this comparison more apt. Gérard has never been affraid to buy records of Lee Hazlewood and late Fleetwood Mac. He extracted the right ingredients from those records and added some genuine French sensuality. Tout Ploie is the pop album that had to be made for a long time and doesnt fear experiment with guest appearances of e.g. Ignatz, Phil Todd, Mim and Foxy De Man." - Kraak.

Artist: EL-G Title: Tout Ploie Format: LP Label: S-S Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "So...a couple years back, one of my favorite French labels -- Le Villain Chien -- released a single by a guy going by the name of él-g. I picked up a few -- record unheard - for our mail order and when they arrived, gave one a spin. The sound was a combination of world-weary French pop and mellow psych. The record lived on the turntable for a few weeks. When the Belgian label Kraak announced it was putting out an él-g album, I said sign me up for some. I got a very small handful and offered them for sale. Of course, one found its way to the record player and what came out of the speakers was one of the best records Id heard in quite a while. Like the 7" I previously dug, this album strode through French pop styles and dreamy psychedelia, but this thing was much better than the seven inch. It had a classic sound. I wasnt alone in liking it. David Keenan of Volcanic Tongue called it Ass-flatteningly great and said it combines the decadent French ballad style of Serge Gainsbourg with warped acid folk settings, industrial electronics and the kinda schizophrenic approach to genre that defines much of Thierry Muller and Philippe Dorays work. Clive Bell at the Wire said él-gsfreak flag is exhilarating. And the few people who got the record from me, wrote and asked for more. After spin number 50, I said to myself, Damn, theres a whole lotta people on this side of the Atlantic that are gonna miss out on this demon, one of the best records of the last five years, me thinks. So I wrote él-g and Kraak and asked if I could do an American pressing and they said Sure good thing and here it is. So what you get is all the above -- with guest performances by the lovely Charlene Darling and Ignatz and Phil Todd of Ashtray Navigations. This edition on S.S. Records was remastered excellently by Paul Gold of Salt Mastering and has a slightly different cover and insert. And it is available at a domestic price." - S-S. |

Artist: ELEANOORA ROSENHOLM Title: Hyväile Minua Pimeä Tähti Format: LP Label: Fonal Country: Finland Price: $22.00 |
| "LP version. Fonal Records releases the third Eleanoora Rosenholm album Hyväile Minua Pimeä Tähti (trans. "Caress Me, Dark Star"). A project begun by Noora Tommila, Pasi Salmi and Mika Rättö, Eleanoora Rosenholm is ostensibly a persona created by the band, which narrates the dramatic and disturbed odyssey of a suburban housewife. The group, which has now evolved into a seven-piece band (with Mika typically fulfilling the role of writer and overseer), comprises the most exquisite music-makers from the Finnish harbor town of Pori. The third installment is an even gloomier prospect (if possible) than before: this time the protagonist, housewife serial killer Eleanoora escapes into the heart and the city of a Dark Star. Although musically in a similar vein to previous albums Vainajan Muotokuva (FR 054CD/LP) and Älä Kysy Kuolleilta, He Sanoivat (FR 060CD/LP), the sound of this record is even more dramatic, expansive and nuanced. Musically taking its cues from film soundtracks and disco, laced with echoes of Scandinavian and electronic pop, this apparent juxtaposition against the albums subject matter frames a dislocated voice in everyday reality. Trumpets and clarinet lend an epic maturity to the modern atmosphere. The result is a landmark, down-to-earth-futurism, A Space Odyssey in Pori -- something unexplainable that has to be experienced by oneself. These colorful stories are the brainchildren of Mika Rättö, one of the most creative forces in the Finnish contemporary rock scene, perhaps most familiar from acts such as Circle, Rättö Ja Lehtisalo and Kuusumun Profeetta. The role of Eleanoora is played by vocalist Noora Tommila who is a sensitive interpreter, relaying a vast emotional range, from quiet fragility to vociferous preaching. The album was composed by Rättö and analog synth wizard Pasi Salmi (Magyar Posse). Previously mainly masterminding in the background, the recording sessions inspired Rättö not only to grab the drumsticks but also to sing a whole song in his distinctive falsetto. Apart from this band, who else could turn Gregorian choir influences into a potential modern club-hit?" -Fonal. |

Artist: ELECTRIC BLOOD Title: Single 2011 Format: 7" Label: Spacecase Country: USA Price: $6.00 |
|
"ELECTRIC BLOOD was ROBERT SCOTTs (THE CLEAN and THE BATS) first band. Formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1977, the group revolved around Mr. Scott and his brother ANDREW. According to Robert, Electric Blood was a couple of musicians (Robert and Andrew) "playing along with a few guys who were living up the road; they were sort of non-musicians. It was a band that really evolved around me learning how to write songs and trying to get these other guys to join in and make a band of some kind." Electric Blood played sporadically throughout most of the 80s. Robert would release the bands material through his Every Secret Thing cassette label; the albums were typically recorded over the course of a day at a Dunedin rehearsal space. (In 1994 the American label Beehive Rebellion reissued Electric Blood s 1984 cassette Electric Easter on CD. Single 2011 is the first Electric Blood vinyl release). "Pennsylvania" first appeared on the 1982 cassette Ohio; "Window Sill," "Match," and "Bumble Bee" appeared on Electric Easter. Although the band started from humble beginnings, Electric Blood would eventually incorporate multi-instrumentalist ALASTAIR GALBRAITH on some of their later recordings, and one Electric Blood track ("Earwig") eventually turned up on an early Bats EP. Single 2011 showcases a young Robert Scott developing his skills as a songwriter, and will be of particular interest to fans of Kiwi pop." -Spacecase

| "THE ELECTRIC BUNNIES have already come into their own releasing a string of singles and touring regularly. Late last year, Floridas Dying dropped Through The Magical Door-a debut album hailed as the S.F. Sorrow of fuzzy sludge pop that topped just about everyones "best of" lists. Though it may be a little while longer before we get another full length, this single captures both the noisy and saccharine sweet sides of the band and should keep fans sated for now. "I Swear Ill Never Let You Go" is a two and a half minute downer-pop gem, four harmonies and all. The A-side, "Pretty Joanna," is virtually the opposite with a melody buried under layers of warm cascading fuzz and feedback." - Sacred Bones. |

This is their most cohesive release to date with eleven tracks which weave in and out of each other working more as two sides then as eleven free-standing songs. This is seriously a modern psychedelic masterpiece. A concept album with out the pretense which comes off like a trip through an exotic paradise. An ode to their hometown of Miami.

| "Totally deranged 12-inch 45 RPM EP from defunct one-man unit ELECTRIC CRUSH: a long lost cassette only release from Las Vegas circa Y2K. Originally a 10-song tape titled Dropouts In a Drug Haze, Black Gladiator opted for the perfect first side only of the original release to bring you three tracks of stone cold punk rock headache sandwiched between two slices of drum breaks and bent guitars slathered with methamphetamine psychosis. Electric Crush represents the sound of Black Gladiator before it even existed, and the label couldnt be happier they located him after all these years! Musical parallels to Muddy Waters classic late 60s fuzz guitar driven, break-beat ridden Electric Mud are plenty, so the label came up with a take on the elusive and bold black cover of "Mud."

Agitated Records was pretty much blown away when the Electric Eels camp agreed for this to happen, and thus decided it made a perfect RSD release. the single itself is 35 years old this year, and still blows away most of anything released since, the sound of amps crackling, the feral vocals, and just an attitude that few have neared. Its possibly the most wild blast of punk rock ever." -Agitated

mesmerizing album recorded by PHIL PEARLMAN
between the first Beat of the Earth album and
Relatively Clean Rivers. Pearlman assembled the
ELECTRONIC HOLE in 1969 strictly for personal use
to audition musicians for his new band." Recorded
in local studios during off-hours, the album is
entirely different from Beat of the Earth, as it
abandons a freeform improvisational approach in
favor of "compositions," including a wild cover
of Frank Zappas "Trouble Every Day." Pearlman
plays sitar to great effect on the album, and
another track has the thickest wall of fuzz
guitars imaginable." - Radish,

Artist: ELECTROPHILIA Title: Black Noise Practitioner Format: Double LP Label: Skul Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "In 1979 Steven Parrino first performed "guitar grind" which consisted of two guitars grinding into each other screaming feedback and sonic bliss. In 1997 Parrino conceptualized what was to be his new musical focus, a sound electric and brutal, and after a few small obscure shows, ELECTROPHILIA was born. A hard to find 10 inch lp, cd single and 7" single were released between then and 2002 when Jutta Koether, long time noise & performance artist in her own right, joined the band. With Koether and Parrrino mashing ideas and sounds ELECTROPHILIA has expanded and made its presence felt in shows around NYC. These shows have been documented, and four have been collected and turned into this double lp release: ELECTROPHILIA Black Noise Practitioner. The sound of ELECTROPHILIA evokes a mix of the sonic denseness of Lou Reeds Metal Machine Music, the free screech of Albert Ayler, the extreme attack of Merzbow and the raw dirt of the Stooges. ELECTROPHILIA is extreme psychedelic noise; brutal electric bass manipulations interwoven with freezing synth textures. Includes guest musicians: trk. 1: Christopher Pahud (Honey for Petzi). trk. 3: Lizzi Bougatsos (Gang Gang Dance, Angelblood) & John Gernand." - Skul.

Hand woven to thick analog tape over six months at the Junkyard Studio compound with Sean Maffucci of Icewater Scandal behind the board, this record opens up the stride of this criminally under exposed outfit. The sprawling results at times brings to mind such notable luminaries as Can, Chrome, Lightning Bolt or the more musical ramblings of Ciccone Youth.

| "Presenting a unified whole, the Homage 3LP boxed set contains Homage to the Square Wave, ...Sine Wave and ...Pointed Waveforms, all out-of-print until now. Initially released separately in 2008, 2009 and 2012 respectively with custom letterpress jackets, this collection includes new retrospective artwork by John Brien. Each disc comes in its own one-color silkscreen jacket using the same blue, orange and green from the original editions; all housed in a rigid white satin-coated slipcase with spot varnish printing, hand-numbered out of 800. Eleh, an artist who flourishes in restraint, uses a reduced sonic vocabulary to highlight delicate intricacies in a logical path toward harmonious satisfaction. The organization of hypnotic square waves, rippling sine waves and triangle/saw tooth waveforms is a discourse in the infinity, rather than the limits, of reduction. By employing a natural practice of balanced interpretation, Eleh enables an individual reaction free of the clutter of white noise." - Taiga. |

Artist: ELEH Title: Homage To The Sine Wave Format: LP Label: Taiga Country: USA Price: $23.00 |
|
"The elusive Eleh project resurfaces from the depths with another release on Taiga. Homage To The Sine Wave is the second release in their sound waves-based Homage To... series, following 2008s sold-out LP, Homage To The Square Wave. In a similar fashion, the elemental approach to the construction of the pieces on Sine Wave is influenced by Josef Albers, the German-born U.S.-based abstract painter and theorist best known for his color studies embodied in paintings of geometric abstraction. Both faces feature side-long compositions at just over 20 minutes each. Side A holds "Together We Are One," a piece that begins floating in the ether, but gently lands on a field of rhythmic bass pulses before dipping below the horizon. "Beneath The Silver Sun" on the B-side is a meditation on the nighttime, with a consistent delivery and subtle transformation that is dually tranquil and exhilarating. Volume reveals detail. Sine Wave was mastered by James Plotkin, cut direct to metal and pressed on 200 gram virgin vinyl in a hand-numbered edition of 500. The LP comes housed in a custom 2-color letterpressed jacket that was designed by John Brien of Important Records and printed by Studio On Fire in Minneapolis. The jackets were printed flat, die-cut, folded and glued, resulting in a letterpressed jacket with a printed spine. Eleh was formed to pay tribute to the pioneers of audio minimalism such as La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Eliane Radigue, Pauline Oliveros and Charlemagne Palestine. They use vintage modular gear to produce recordings of pure tone, pure sound, pure volume and pure analog. This is two-tone drone targeted towards absolute, meditative bliss." -Taiga

Retreat is a collection of exploratory sound assemblages put together during a cabin sojourn. New timbral richness, tonal expansion and deep synthesis make these pieces rather different from previous work. Return reflects on time away. Repose contains only one piece, the final recording of Circle Two: Coastal Rotation for Dune Loop which was debuted at 2010s Mutek festival in Montreal. This piece completes the Retreat/Return trilogy with Repose and is intended to stand very much on its own. Rain on your hood. Your heart beats. A beach break roaring in the distance.

Artist: ELEH/DUANE PITRE Title: Empty Summer Endless/Feel Free Installation Format: LP Label: Important Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| Second pressing. "Split release including a new twenty minute piece from Eleh and the installation version of Duane Pitres beautiful new composition, Feel Free. Letterpressed jackets. Feel Free is a new composition by Duane Pitre that currently has three possible manifestations: solo performance, group performance, and sound installation. At the core of all of them is the pillar of the work, an open yet orderly system whose intention is to produce potentially infinite variations of self-generating rhythm and melody. This system is created in part by a Max/MSP patch, designed by the composer, which consists of two (unprocessed) sound sources: guitar harmonics and simple-timbre electronic tones (in the solo/group versions, the latter are performed by the composer). Where the solo and group versions find the work following a sequence of movements (each embodying a varying feeling) that consist of different pitches and rules/methods for the group to execute them, the installation version (which occupies a side of this record) is void of any performers and is meant to embody a certain stillness. And while the listener may become familiar with what seem to be recurring patterns, no sounds are ever looped, but are rather continually moving forward, yet still remain suspended." - Important. |

Artist: ELEH/FULLMAN, ELLEN Title: Mind Of No Mind/Event Locations Format: LP Label: Important Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
|
"Numbered edition of 500. Jackets letterpress printed at 43rd Parallel Letterpress. Split release between Ellen Fullman & Eleh. By examining the waveform produced by the Long String Instrument through a spectrum analyzer, I have observed that every overtone of the fundamental being played is represented nearly equally through the entire range of hearing. Just intonation, a tuning system based on pure ratios, lends itself to a consideration of not only precise tuning of fundamental frequencies, but in addition, precise alignment of the resultant matrix of relationships among the upper partial tones. Strings vibrate in mathematical subdivisions of the total string length. As the performer moves through these subdivisions or nodal points, while bowing with rosin-coated fingertips, partials associated with that location emerge. Thus, musical events on my instrument can be aligned in time and space to coincide with specific overtone combinations." -Ellen Fullman

Artist: ELEH/NANA APRIL JUN Title: Observations & Momentum Format: LP Label: Touch Country: UK Price: $19.00 |
| "The Touch label presents the Observations & Momentum split LP as a great opportunity to hear noise minimalist Eleh and Swedish visual/sound artist Christofer Lämgren aka Nana April Jun at their finest. Nana April Juns track "Sun Wind Darkness Eye" is taken from the album The Ontology Of Noise (TONE 037CD), particularly because it stands out as being perfect for a vinyl edition. In the same time-frame, the series of releases by Eleh on Important Records attracted the Touch labels attention. These homages to La Monte Young, Pauline Oliveros and Charlemagne Palestine, as vinyl-only limited editions, stunned with their acuity and passion for detail. There was something acutely other in their sound. Eleh, also, is an artist who prefers the work to speak for itself, and has other provocative ideas about noise. The digital is questioned by a commitment to a working practice based around analog tone-generators and letter-press printed covers. The Important Records/Taiga releases are now sought-after with a passion by anyone who recognizes something truly special occurring. On this recording, Eleh develops the waveforms that the Important Records series started. The split vinyl format is a great meeting point for this idea of digital persona and analog privacy. The effect, it is hoped, is for the vinyl to represent a digital question: that this LP summons up a universal sound and an intimate sphere of operations, which is, of course, a continuing dilemma. Limited edition of 1,000 copies. Art & photography by Jon Wozencroft." -- Touch. |

Numbered edition of 760. "Important Records is quite pleased to be presenting this split release consisting of two new drone works from Pauline Oliveros and Eleh. Oliveros, an early American minimalist who has pioneered the technique of deep listening, has created a new work exclusively for this release. Drifting Depths is a new improvised piece made on a harmonica being processed through Paulines Expanded Instrument System. Elehs side, also exclusive to this vinyl only release, is super slow melodic drone full of stillness, tension and relief. Vinyl only, handmade and handassembled, letterpressed jackets. Limited edition. A central figure in post-war electronic art music, Oliveros is one of the original members of the San Francisco Tape Music Center (along with Morton Subotnick, Ramon Sender, Terry Riley, and Anthony Martin), which was the resource on the U.S. West Coast for electronic music during the 1960s. The Center later moved to Mills College, where she was its first director, and is now called the Center for Contemporary Music. Oliveros often improvises with the Expanded Instrument System, an electronic signal processing system she designed, in her performances and recording. Eleh was formed to specifically to pay tribute to early experimental minimalist pioneers especially La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Eliane Radigue, Pauline Oliveros and Charlemagne Palestine. Using an enormous vintage modular analog synthesizer, a battery of glowing HP tube test oscillators and occasionally guitar/piano, Eleh creates highly minimal and deeply spiritual pure analog drone music with emphasis on the physical ultra-low end.

"Essential limited edition 180 gram vinyl release, pressed in an edition of 500 copies. Letterpressed jackets. Beautiful drone compositions from two kindred musical entities. Elehs pure analog drones are a perfect compliment to Sun Circles ecstatic high volume compositions. Elehs track is a slight departure from the sub-sonic bass heavy drones of their first two records. This time around, theres more emphasis on a glistening shimmer paying tribute to the natural beauty of a winters day. Recorded using vintage modular analog synthesizers and glowing tube oscillators, Eleh pays tribute to 60s minimalism. Sun Circles Important debut is psychoacoustic minimalism meets psychedelic maximalism. Ecstatic high volume drones, long-form trance music and peace noise. Bowed strings, voices, organs, percussion and world instruments." - Important.

Artist: ELEKTRIKTUS Title: Electronic Mind Waves Format: LP Label: Wah Wah Country: Spain Price: $29.00 |
|
"Out of the mysterious mind of Andrea Centazzo came Elektriktus. Originally released on the PDU label, the LP Electronic Mind Waves offers a collection of eight synth-fueled songs that sound very close to what kraut/cosmische heads were doing at the time, think of Conrad Schnitzler, Deuter or Cosmic Jokers, and also other European experimentalists like Richard Pinhas Heldon, Spacecraft, Didier Bocquet, Seesselberg, F.G. Experimental Laboratory, Roberto Cacciapaglia or Hydrus. Along with Cacciapaglia and Hydrus, Elektriktus shows the most adventurous experimental sounds under a kraut/cosmische music influence to ever come out of Italy. Centazzo was already a highly experienced musician when he produced this LP in his home studio in 1976. He had been the drummer on Giorgio Gasslinis Quartet, with whom he also recorded several LPs, and also on his own jazz band Ictus (actually the name Elektriktus came out of melting his electronic experiments with his former bands name). Hes actually one of the key names from the Italian improv/free-jazz scene and the driving force behind the ICTUS label. Strongly recommended to fans of minimal electronic music, kosmische sounds and ambient soundscapes. The Wah Wah reissue comes in an exact repro of its original sleeve and features an insert with information and photos. Strictly limited to only 500 copies." -Wah Wah.

Artist: ELEPHANT MICAH Title: Hindu Windmills Format: CD Label: Time-Lag Country: USA Price: $12.50 |
| "Digital version of the out-of-print LP. At long last, theres finally a full length Elephant Micah album born into this world. Why it took so many years will remain a mystery, cuz as far as were concerned, Elephant Micah should have been a household name for years now. Stripped of all superfluous sound, and presented with the sort of stark realness that creates a deeply psychedelic mood without being in the least bit overt. Joe OConnell has always been at the top of our favorite contemporary songwriters, and here the songs truly take center stage for the first time. Recorded direct to hand-held cassette recorder using only acoustic guitar and vocals, with just sparse backing from a little percussion, cello, electric piano and double-tracked vocals, the gauzy overdubs of past releases have all but vanished here. At the same time, the lyrical depth & intimacy have easily doubled, creating some of the most affecting country-tinged melancholy weve ever laid ears on. Hushed, heartaching and utterly timeless. And it just gets better with every listen. The voyeuristic pureness is further enhanced by hissy near-haiku spoken fragments of tape that pop up between songs throughout the album. Heavy mini LP style craft paper gatefold cover with elusive, ghostly, two-color offset printing, Plus a double-sided fold out insert & woven Japanese inner sleeves." - Time-Lag. |

Artist: ELEPHANT MICAH Title: Plays The Songs Of Bible Birds Format: CD Label: Time-Lag Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Well let Joe himself shed a little light here: touring the East Coast in 2003, someone asked, youre from Indiana - have you ever heard of the Bible Bird man? I hadnt, so I did some research. His video had already been stolen from the library at Earlham College, but I stole it back and returned it. I began to imagine what the musical equivalent of his evangelical bird act might sound like. I wrote a song about the Bird Man, thinking of releasing it as a re-issue of a central Indiana country-gospel group that had never existed - the Bible Birds. Then I thought maybe I would do an Elephant Micah album of covers originally written by this (non-existent) Bible Birds band. In the end of course the concept kind of dissipated and it just became an Elephant Micah album. I recruited Beth Remis from Static Films (and more recently Pillars And Tongues) to help arrange/sing harmonies for the songs, and generally bring them up to pseudo-gospel snuff. We played the songs around the upper midwest once with Ben Racher on a portable pump organ and Jason Henn on upright bass. All of us got together in Indianapolis in 2006 and recorded this. I drove everyone crazy with my insistence on weird recording methods. I think i was kind of trying to approximate the timbres of the hymn sing broadcast on Salem, Indianas WSLM. Who knows? I was critical of the results and didnt finalize them for several years. Here it is finally, a kind of prequel companion to the Hindu Windmills (Time-Lag 035) album. -- Joe OConnell 2010. So there you have it. An overlooked chapter from this wonderful artist finally seeing the light of day, and a perfect companion piece to the highly praised Hindu Windmills album. Both albums are clearly united by their warm, lo-fi intimacy, sparse production, and stunning song-craft. Strikingly simple & beautiful stuff...

Artist: ELEPHANT MICAH Title: Plays The Songs Of Bible Birds Format: LP Label: Time-Lag Country: USA Price: $25.00 |
| "Finally available on vinyl. Packaged in a lovely three-color, screen-printed heavy stock tri-fold art paper cover, with heavy stock offset printed lyric insert. Limited edition of 500 copies. Well let Joe himself shed a little light here: touring the East Coast in 2003, someone asked, youre from Indiana - have you ever heard of the Bible Bird man? I hadnt, so I did some research. His video had already been stolen from the library at Earlham College, but I stole it back and returned it. I began to imagine what the musical equivalent of his evangelical bird act might sound like. I wrote a song about the Bird Man, thinking of releasing it as a re-issue of a central Indiana country-gospel group that had never existed - the Bible Birds. Then I thought maybe I would do an Elephant Micah album of covers originally written by this (non-existent) Bible Birds band. In the end of course the concept kind of dissipated and it just became an Elephant Micah album. I recruited Beth Remis from Static Films (and more recently Pillars And Tongues) to help arrange/sing harmonies for the songs, and generally bring them up to pseudo-gospel snuff. We played the songs around the upper midwest once with Ben Racher on a portable pump organ and Jason Henn on upright bass. All of us got together in Indianapolis in 2006 and recorded this. I drove everyone crazy with my insistence on weird recording methods. I think i was kind of trying to approximate the timbres of the hymn sing broadcast on Salem, Indianas WSLM. Who knows? I was critical of the results and didnt finalize them for several years. Here it is finally, a kind of prequel companion to the Hindu Windmills (Time-Lag 035) album. -- Joe OConnell 2010. So there you have it. An overlooked chapter from this wonderful artist finally seeing the light of day, and a perfect companion piece to the highly praised Hindu Windmills album. Both albums are clearly united by their warm, lo-fi intimacy, sparse production, and stunning song-craft. Strikingly simple & beautiful stuff." -Time-Lag |

Artist: ELEVEN POND Title: Bas Relief Format: LP Label: Dark Entries Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "Dark Entries Records is proud to announce the reissue of the debut album by Eleven Pond. Long sought after by collectors, the Rochester, NY band only released a single LP in their time together before dissolving into obscurity. Their sounds a merging of post punks dark dance and synthpops melodic arrangements reflected the originality of gifted songwriters who met in art school with a shared interest in 4AD and Factory Records. In cooperation with the band members, the entire album has been remastered from the original 2-track analogue masters by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The recordings on this release comprise the bands entire recorded output and the LP includes a 2009 redesign by Jeff Gallea of Eleven Pond: 11x11 cardstock lyrics/artwork sheet, 2 Eleven Pond postcards and 1 Dark Entries Sticker. Eleven Pond officially parted ways in 1987 but nearly a quarter-century later these recordings prove how vital they remain." - Dark Entries. |

Artist: ELG Title: Mil Pluton Format: LP Label: Alter Country: UK Price: $21.00 |
| "Second edition repressed on 150 gram vinyl into color reverse board jackets. Èlg is Laurent Gerard. Since 2000, Élg has made a name for himself in the experimental underground performing solo in venues across Europe and the USA and also in the trio Reines DAngleterre with Jo Tanz and Ghédalia Tazartès. Over the years he has built a complex body of work which has been spread amongst reputable labels such as Kraak, SS, Lal Lal Lal, Taped Sounds and Nashazphone. Now, four years since his debut, Tout Ploie, Alter and Hundebiss present Mil Pluton, the second Èlg album on vinyl. In that time, Gerard has knuckled down with a bunch of new gear and built a fresh sound which is difficult to categorize but still carries many of the characteristics of his previous work. One can hear EBM-esque rhythms, scalpel-sharp musique concrète-style editing, dense layers of swampy electronics which open up the same hypnotic spirals that the Èlg of old did. Vocally, Èlg has evolved beyond conventional language and now works with an Esperanto-like form of alien linguistics to front the sonic mass. If your musical interests sit within the realm of outer limits electronics and have been drawn towards the work of Throbbing Gristle,Bernard Szajner, Coil and Tazartes, then look no further. Mil Pluton also features musical contributions from Jo Tanz, Jean-Philippe Gross, Bill Kouligas (PAN), TG Gondard and Jan Anderzen(Tomutonttu/Kemialliset Ystävät). All tracks were composed, recorded and mixed by Èlg in Brussels in 2011, then mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin in December of that same year, and pressed lovingly onto 150 gram vinyl by Alter and Hundebiss in September 2012. Edition of 300 copies, housed in an elaborate fold-out jacket." -Alter. |

Artist: ELGGREN, LEIF Title: All Animals Are Saints Format: Cass Label: The Tapeworm Country: UK Price: $8.00 |
| "This is a cassette-only limited release in an edition of 250 copies only. Leif Elggren (born 1950, Linköping, Sweden), is a Swedish artist who lives and works in Stockholm. Active since the late 1970s, Leif Elggren has become one of the most constantly surprising conceptual artists to work in the combined worlds of audio and visual. A writer, visual artist, stage performer and composer, he has many albums to his credits, solo and with the Sons Of God, on labels such as Ash International, Touch, Radium and his own Firework Edition. His music, often conceived as the soundtrack to a visual installation or experimental stage performance, usually presents carefully selected sound sources over a long stretch of time and can range from mesmerizingly quiet electronics to harsh noise. His wide-ranging and prolific body of art often involves dreams and subtle absurdities, social hierarchies turned upside-down, hidden actions and events taking on the quality of icons. Together with artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff, he is a founder of the Kingdoms Of Elgaland-Vargaland (KREV) where he enjoys the title of King. "The Life Of The Plants" was recorded at "The Night Of The Long Worms," Café Oto, London on November 19, 2009. First performed at Kontiki, Botanic Sounds, Gothenburg, Sweden on June 6, 2009. "Swedenborgs Organ" was recorded at The Showroom, London on November 20, 2009, in celebration of the DVD release of Death Travels Backwards by Leif Elggren on Errant Bodies Records." -The Tapeworm |

"This basic sound material was recorded in my biological mothers uterus with my not yet developed teeth used as a fundamental and simple recording device a few days before my birth. This sound material was kept recorded and hidden until recently inside one of my wisdom teeth, but has now been brought to daylight and exposure. Digitally mastered, reproduced and sent out into the room which we all mutually share and which we usually call reality, the world. Sent out with the main purpose to change that room.
You do not necessarily have to listen to this CD, the sound material should be considered more as a tool, a tool with a special purpose, favourable but dangerous.
For best results: load this CD in your CD player, confirm that sound is coming out through the speakers, and then just leave the room. When you come back everything will be totally changed." - Firework Edition.

Reworked and adapted for the sound installation Avträde in conjunction with the group show Transformation at Karlsborg Castle, Sweden, during the summer of 2000.

| "From the exhibition "Pluralis majestatis" by L.E. at Andréhn-Schiptjenko gallery, Stockholm, December 1994. Photo by Annika von Hausswolff. Recorded at Fylkingen, Stockholm, June 23-25, 1997. Adapted and mastered at Firework Edition, Stockholm, July 1997. The basic sound source is the metal bed displayed in the cover photo (along with contact microphones, a PA-system, and 102 tin-can crowns). For this piece I had in mind to work with this bed, to try to squeeze out, to discover, a certain "voice" or a sound, and let it go. I made some preparations and created a situation for the bed and the sound equipment, got it started and let it run for approximately one hour. It went its own way, it had its own life, and that is the point for me: Start it up and let it take its own direction, create its own life, its own voice, let it take over. I did not have any aesthetic plans for the sound, no compositional aspects, I just wanted to be open for what could happen, like a conversation. My work is very much an ongoing project, things are done and correspond to other things and vice versa. Its a big structure where all phenomena are closely related to each other and where the total image depends on every small part there is. Pluralis majestatis is the third and final piece in a trilogy. It is preceded by "Flown over by an Old King" (Radium 226.05 1988) and "Talking to a Dead Queen" (Fylkingen Records 1996).

One insane epic dueling guitar/synth prog stormer and also a quirky power-pop hard rock number and the rest sounds like early 70s FM radio or maybe Todd Rundgren coming down off a hard bummer! Cool hand-drawn acid-drenched cover reminiscent of Van Gogh. Maybe this guy was dipping into the turpentine, too! Dark, cold, underdeveloped and moody just like the music. A little something for everyone here: real people, soft rock, psych, folk, prog and more. An undiscovered gem thats bound to get props eventually from the big-time collectors." -Riverman |

Artist: ELKLINK Title: Rise of Elklink Format: LP Label: Kye Country: USA Price: $15.00 |

"The Rise of Elklink originally appeared as a cassette on the storied Polyamory label in 1999. Behind the ambiguous moniker lurked core Shadow Ring member Graham Lambkin, aided by Adris Hoyos with a cameo from fellow Shadow Ring bandmate Tim Goss. Although The Rise of Elklink was produced in tandum with The Shadow Rings Lindus LP, the two projects were different in intent. Song form and narration are replaced by walls of quiet, crumbling vocal concrete, meaningless stoned monologues and adjacent audio seepage, captured to 4-track in the backroom of a small Cuban crèche in Miami FL.
This LP reissue restores all six tracks from the original cassette, and adds the Elklink contribution to the Colour In Absence Sound CD comp from the same year. Lovingly remastered by Jason Lescalleet at Glistening Labs, The Rise of Elklink arrives in a sleeve design based on the original j-card with a deluxe insert reproducing Brad Sonders classic period review, in a hand-numbered edition of 500 copies." -KYE.

Driven by tandem tactics of low-end subterfuge and drum tumble, their aggressive abstractions and brown sound rumble have stopped shows, upset stomachs, rattled skulls, and melted minds. Recorded live and unrehearsed in the industrial wastelands of the Northeast, this debut release charts Eloe Omoes real-time navigations through arrhythmic tensioning and hypersonic squall. Their clairvoyant collaborations are way-the-fuck-out and abrasive; this quick spinner offers short attention span jams of ecstatic thrash interrupted by satanic screech and space jitter." - Infrasound. |

"Eloe Omoe is the Boston, MA duo of Sam Rowell (bass) and Tim Leanse (drums). For the uninitiated and other strangers to Eloe Omoes aural assault, I have described them as relentless free-sludge. Their challenging and rewarding sound could be compared to both the depths of early free-jazz and the over-the-top amplifier worshipping metal of the legendary godheadSilo. But more than anything, the music is akin to the unpredictable shift of a group of sharks than to normal song structure. This is crisp and extreme rock rejection. From the first note of the first song, you are instantly sucked into the undertow and already past the point of no return. Churning and chugging bass that sounds as if 8 arms are striking the strings in a battle to keep time with the insanity of the spastic and shifting drums. An album that reveals more subtleties and gets better with each listen, Marauders is an impressive debut that has been long overdue." - Animal Disguise.

Artist: ELS MASTURBADORS MONGOLICS Title: Els Masturbadors Mongolics Format: LP Label: Munster Country: Spain Price: $20.00 |
| "Els Masturbadors Mongòlics were one of the first punk bands from Barcelona, formed in 1977 by Lluis Miracle with an ever-changing line-up which had guitarist Paco Martínez as its other constant member. Among the people involved was Manel, later guitarist of Decibelios. In the same way as legendary bands like La Banda Trapera Del Río, the usual lack of resources and general incomprehension towards Els Masturbadors brought them all kinds of problems, only made worse by their completely irreverent attitude, which caused chaos almost everywhere they played, including their participation in the festival Canet Rock in 1978 -- all of which led to the break up of the band at the end of that year, just over a year after they first got together. Before that, they managed to record a number of tracks for EMI, which never saw official release and are now made available for the first time. Its the evidence of a crucial period for the later changes in Spanish music, which were only possible thanks to the transgressive and no-holds-barred behavior of bands such as Els Masturbadors Mongòlics." - Munster. |

Artist: EMACIATOR Title: Coveting Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Misery wears many masks, but Tulare, California fatalist Jon Borges has etched his mark on most of them. For at least half a decade, hes pursued increasingly suicidal tendencies under his Pedestrian Deposit guise (which is currently on hiatus), splicing subdued loops of morbid beauty against savage canyons of harsh noise histrionics. Lately, though, hes been straying more and more from this aggressive exercise in contrasts in favor of his Emaciator alias, which draws from the same dark wellspring of bitter memories and bipolar rage but, instead of unleashing it in grand frenzies, bottles everything up inside until it seeps out of the pores. Early efforts/cassettes retained a strain of buzzing nausea reminiscent of his PD days, but the last 12 months have witnessed a complete abandonment of any ties to the past. Times are still bleak, sure, but the grey prisms of brooding ambience Borges now conjures and slowly collapses convey a depth of mood and subtlety far surpassing simple signifiers like indifference, resentment, or remorse. Coveting collects together five exquisite Emaciator compositions (including two particularly riveting songs that were debuted live at Echo Curio) for a harrowing 40 minutes of troubled solace, crisscrossing suicide guitar lines, and entranced self-reflection. Meditation is a myth; desire does not sleep. Black vinyl LPs in shrinkwrapped jackets with photography and layout by Borges. Mastered by Pete Swanson, edition of 430."-Not Not Fun |

Artist: EMACIATOR Title: Reflection Format: Double LP Label: Accidie Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "The long overdue, and miserably delayed, debut full-length by Emaciator (Jon Borges of Pedestrian Deposit, Monorail Trespassing) is finally available. Reflection was recorded in the spring of 2007 and represents the yet undocumented second phase of Emaciators music. Situated both historically and aesthetically between the dirty, depressive gutter pulse of the early cassette releases and the cleaner, blissful guitar shimmer of his newer material, these two pieces of vinyl bridge the gap with ghostly synth-based melodies that drift over a churning urban landscape of gritty static. Conceived of and composed as a complete artistic statement, the sides follow a narrative of deceit and betrayal, bookended by two halves of one musical idea; sides A and D are mirror images of each other, giving the title of the album its double meaning. Emotional and intensely personal, Reflection finds the Emaciator project at its most despairing, positioning aching melodic beauty in a context of bleak drone decay to suggest a kind of rock-bottom hopelessness.

Artist: EMBARRASSMENT Title: Sex Drive/Patio Set Format: 7" Label: Last Laugh Country: USA Price: $7.50 |
| "Originally issued in 1980, this Wichita quartets double-A-side debut sounds just as obtuse and bizarrely catchy now as it did upon its initial release. The seminal "Sex Drive" is a bonafide anthem of the carnal variety; the flip, "Patio Set," is about as sexy as your favorite protractor. Both are essential American salvos from the Middle-Wests least likely punk band. Official reissue from masters. Includes insert of original cover sketch." - Last Laugh. |

Artist: EMBRUJO Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $44.00 |
| "From Chile 1971. 500 numbered LPs, heavy sleeve, 180 gram pressing, 2-page insert. "The band Kissing Spell changed their name to Embrujo in early 1970 due to the political climate in Chile causing it to be less than ideal for a band with an English name. Embrujo is the Spanish translation of the word Spell (bewitched). So Embrujo is the same band as Kissing Spell and the album came out on Arena Records in 1971. Among the great albums from Chile like Blops, Aguaturbia, Los Jaivas and Escombros, this album is just amazing, just like their first. Beautiful compositions and instrumentation, very well played, strong vocals and poetic lyrics; we would vote this album as one of the best from the of South America. Chile seems to be the county for extraordinary pop and underground songs going right into the heart. What a shame that after 1973 until 1990 (Pinochet dictatorship), no more bands could work anymore. We are missing a lot of great future albums by those bands." -Shadoks |

This record sits among the great albums from Chilean bands such as Blops, Aguaturbia, Los Jaivas and Escombros, with beautiful compositions and instrumentation, strong vocals and poetic lyrics, and is quite possibly one of the best albums in South American history.

"What to write about Embryo? Christian Burchard was/is part of the Munich scene, played on Amon Düül�??s Phallus Dei and founded Embryo in the late sixties. They flirted with krautrock and jazz-rock on mythical lp�??s like Opal, Father Son and the Holy Ghost and Rocksession. In the following decades their travels led them, among many other destinations, to India, the Middle East and Africa. On their music trips they played with locals like Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu and Lebanese oud-player Rabih Anou-Khalil. A couple years ago they jammed with No Neck Blues Band. In Aalst the band consisted of Christian Burchard (Santur, Vibraphone, Percussion), Marja Burchard (Marimba, Drums, Keyboards, Trombone), Andreas Rust (Oud, Guitar), Christian Aderholz (Violin), Jens Pollheide (Flutes, Bass), Lothar Stahl (Marimba, Drums, Percussion) and Mik Quantius (Voice). The music was hypnotic, repetitive, oriental, jazz, kraut, spacey...The true living spirit of free music. 100 copies." - Sloow Tapes.

Artist: EMBRYO Title: Embryos Rache Format: LP Label: Get Back Country: Italy Price: $26.00 |
| "One of the most significant bands to rise out of the Krautrock scene of the 1970s, the Munich-based musical collective Embryo has been led through the decades by multi-instrumentalist Christian Burchard. Although the groups sound has since become synonymous with world music, their second LP, 1971s Embryos Rache (Embryos Revenge) still found the band in acid jazz/prog territory, with some nice Hammond, mellotron playing by American expat Jimmy Jackson (Ray Charles and Amon Duul II), here billed as Tabarin Man, but the world music influences were already beginning to come to the fore, with heavy African percussion and eastern flute played by Xhol Caravan member Hansi Fischer, giving it a very different over all sound from their debut of the previous year, Opal. This version contains the bonus track Back To Africa. Gatefold sleeve." -Get Back |

Embryo is the longest running of the German underground collectives, formed by Christian Burchard after he left Amon Duul 2 in 1969. "Bremen 1971" and "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" (1972) present the band at their peak period of Kraut - jazz -psych exploration, with "Father" being one of the peak records of its genre. "Live" (1976) has Embryo at a weaker point, caught in a "Bitches Brew"-obsessed fusion era that would soon be abandoned by Burchard and company for Eastern leanings. "Reise" (1978) and "(La Blama Sparozzi)" (1980) are pinnacle acheivements of their kind, presenting Embryos progressive sound combined with that of the indiginous musicians they encountered while caravan traveling throughout Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and India. "Hallo Mik" (2003) lets you hear what Embryo is up to now, which is a sort of hybrid cache of ethnicities, a world music for savants, and features Chris Karrer and Deiter Serfas of Amon Duul 2 and Lothar Stahl of Checkpoint Charlie, among others. A warning for the wise: those with a low tolerance for ethno-jazz best not venture past 72, and then wait for the NNCK collabo record which we understand minimizes the funk." |

| Gatefold sleeve. "Wah Wah brings you more essential Krautrock sounds, this time focusing on the pioneering innovative fusions born out in Munich in the early 70s which helped to bridge the gap between East & West. Were proud to offer the first four albums by one of the longest running bands in the history of German rock: Embryo. Formed around the core of jazz vibrafonist Christian Burchard and drummer Dieter Serfas, the band started their career in Munich in 1969. 40 years later, more than 300 musicians have passed thru their ranks, from their colleagues of Amon Duül II (Lother Meid, Chris Karrer, Jimmy Jackson), Xhol (Hansi Fischer), Between (Roberto Detree, Peter Hamel) to renowned jazzmen (Charlie Mariano, Mal Waldron) or countless musicians from around the world (Yoruba Dun Dun Orchester, Okay Temiz & Oriental Wind, Karnataka College Of Percussion, Mahmoud Gania, Xizhi Nie), making Embryo an ever-changing but always interesting collective of musicians. This is where it all began. Originally released by Ohr in 1970, Embryos legendary debut was an inventive piece of progressive jazz-rock spiced-up with free moves and soaked in a late 60s psychedelic atmosphere. The original blueprint which gave birth to the jazzier-end of Krautrock (Xhol, Kollektiv, Thirsty Moon, Kraan...). An absolutely must-have for any Krautrock buff and one of the best Ohr albums! With John Kelly (Ten Years After), Edgar Hofmann, Christian Burchard, Ralph Fischer plus guests Bettsy Alleh (voice), Roberto Detree (motocello), Holger Trülsch (bongo)." - Wah Wah. |

Lots of trippy flute and synthesizer soundscapes with the odd vocal track from Epple. A unique sound somewhere between Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh, and the Blade Runner soundtrack, all filtered through homemade found nature sound weirdness and naive studio trickery. The sound of South Florida getting kosmische." -Sebastian Speaks. |

Artist: EMERALDS Title: Allegory of Allergies Format: Double LP Label: Weird Forest Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
|
"About a month ago, as I watched Emeralds levitate a packed house at Brooklyns Glasslands, I couldnt help but wax a bit misty-eyed, recalling the years we all spent orbiting the basements of the upper Midwest with a cabal of like-minded fuckups. This opportunity to revisit Allegory of Allergies isnt exactly helping me regain my composure, and for that, Im profoundly grateful, insofar as time, distance and a seriously killer record can put a pretty impressive sentimental gloss on virtually anything, from spacing out and driving two hours past the gig in a thunderstorm to blasting the Gods of Tundra c120 on a half-dead portable deck while scrambling to dodge a sketchy eviction threat. Those, apparently, were the days. In its formal aspect, Allegory shares much with the recent and justly lauded What Happened, though in nearly every other sense, theyre night and day. Where the extended vignettes of What Happened share a certain crystalline expansiveness and astral sheen, Allegory offers a crumbling labyrinth thats at once humid and frigid, crammed to the gills with moss, lichen, cobwebs, brick dust, rotting boards, peeling paint, and narrow shafts of light. Its a blurry and bleary vision, in which John Elliott, Steve Hauschildt and Mark McGuire improvise on synths, guitar, voice, and tapes like three cats batting at an enormous calder mobile, a sound thoroughly native to the moldering interiors and indigenous dystopian/psychedelic culture of the American Rust Belt. Those approaching this work for the first time will have much around which to warp/wrap their heads. Emeralds are possessed of a slow-burning, Cluster-like sense of patience, an accompanying willingness to assume the appearance of burbling sideways in low gear while stealthily turning the universe on its edge, a rare mastery of perspective and scale and an ability to make audible the slipperiness of the slope between harmony and timbre. Just as crucially, they manage to be ambitious and sprawling without compromising their aura of raw immediacy and handmadeness. It is precisely this sort of fried grace that secures Emeralds place in the history of vernacular experimental music and situates Allegory of Allergies squarely in its hallowed canon of epic double LPs." -Chris Madak.

Artist: EMERALDS Title: Does It Look Like Im Here Format: Double LP Label: Editions Mego Country: Austria Price: $26.00 |
| "Gatefold double vinyl version. This is the third official album by Emeralds (after Solar Bridge on Hanson, and the self-titled LP on their own Wagon and Gneiss Things imprints, as well as countless small edition tapes and CD-Rs on a host of labels) and once again, it presents another radical new direction for this Cleveland trio. It sees the group moving from playing single oscillator analog synthesizers to really complex analog and analog/digital hybrids as well as a great deal of guitar synthesizers, not to mention fine-tuning their skills as brilliant tunesmiths. Simply put, the results are outstanding. Comprising of a number of tracks from their ultra-limited 7" vinyl series on Wagon, as well as new compositions exclusive to this release, this fine selection of tunes surpasses anything they have achieved in their 5-year career. Perfect melodies intertwined with ripping sequences and a guitar sound that floats perfectly throughout. Although most tracks cover new ground in that they follow a shortened "pop format," more long-form cuts such as the towering "Genetic" and the title track will give fans of their earlier work something to grab onto, or totally let themselves go, depending on their state of mind. Having spent all their lives in the relative isolation of Cleveland means their music has developed into a vital, stunning unique hybrid that may not have been able to blossom in more active urban centers. Does It Look Like Im Here? heralds a turning point for all those involved and is a perfect, vivid soundtrack to emerge out of a harsh, grey winter.

Let alone having the title track from their acclaimed 2010 album reworked (twice) into a floor-filling behemoth by Daphni (aka Dan Snaith aka Caribou). We toured together in 2010 and since then Ive always wanted to play their music in my DJ sets. So I did my own version of this track, says Snaith. Its one of those tracks that whenever I play it I can feel the energy in the room lift. Luckily, Emeralds were equally enthusiastic, and so this unlikely hybrid sees the light of day... or rather, the dark inside of a club." -Jiaolong |

Artist: EMERALDS Title: Just To Feel Anything Format: LP Label: Editions Mego Country: Austria Price: $21.00 |
| "Initial copies with gatefold sleeve, but not for long. Just to Feel Anything, the new album by Emeralds, surpasses all expectations, just as its predecessor, Does It Look Like Im Here, did in 2010. This expertly recorded new album sees the band deliver plenty of their distinctive aesthetic for old fans to enjoy while offering a new range of fresh, exciting ideas for newcomers. "Before Your Eyes" begins the record with a steady build-up, which bleeds into humid layers of synthesizer pads and warm guitar. The track sets the tone perfectly for "Adrenochrome," a fast-paced excursion into new territory for the band. The calm after the storm appears in the form of "Through & Through," with its contemplative strokes and heart-wrenching atmospherics. "Everything Is Inverted" is an energetic rush of monolithic guitar leads, pulsing drum machine, and driving sequences. Still, its on the second half of Just to Feel Anything, a triptych of tracks, where Emeralds adroitly demonstrate why they are a cut above their contemporaries. "The Loser Keeps America Clean" kicks off the B-side by diving into the deepest fathoms of their experimental oeuvre. As the final bursts of static dissipate, we are led into the opening chords of the eponymous "Just to Feel Anything," a new zenith in Emeralds repertoire. The album closer, "Search for Me in the Wasteland" sees mounting layers of brightly strummed guitar chords blossom into a storm of color and expertly crafted textures -- a truly majestic end to an immense album. With Just to Feel Anything, Emeralds shine a laser-sharp light into the future, while preserving their uniquely intelligent historical perspective. The long-awaited next chapter in the Emeralds discography is finally here, emerging as a sophisticated progression in both sound and structure. Emeralds are John Elliott, Steve Hauschildt, and Mark McGuire. Mastered by James Plotkin, cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin." -Editions Mego. |

"Starting out in 2005, performing live sets using only television sets as sound sources, Emeralds has grown in recent years into a monster of HEAVY improvised drone using analog synths and masterfully-effected guitar. Born out of the Midwest scum-noise scene, these guys have taken the intense heaviness of their Midwest brethren to a place that is entirely their own. They have replaced the creepy atmosphere and abrasive harsh noise of their peers with a very different, though equally intense blast of cosmic drone power! Hanson Records is proud to announce Emeralds Solar Bridge, the trios first full-length album after numerous cassette and CD-R releases on such labels as American Tapes, Chondritic Sound, and the bands own imprints Wagon and Gneiss Things. "The album opens with the side-long Magic where the band builds a quiet drone into an extreme thick saw blade of swirling noise as beautiful as it is menacing. The flip is yet another side-long journey titled The Quaking Mess, a track that stabs your brain with fluttering sparks of synthesized needles before relaxing you into a Göttschingesque dream state while slowly bringing you back to earth with an electronic wave of molten rumble. Fans of the smooth tones of New Age Of Earth-era Ash Ra Tempel and the buzzing thick drones of Throbbing Gristles Heathen Earth should take note, as Emeralds may be their new source for electronic drugs."-Hanson.

What Happened continues their exploration in tonal beauty of their recent work that brought to mind pioneers like Tangerine Dream and Cluster, while presenting a new approach to structure that brings to mind masters like Luc Ferrari and opens our ears to a new universe full of astonishing possibilities.

Artist: EMERALDS / QUINTANA ROO Title: Bubble Quiet Complication/ Beheaded Dynasty Format: LP Label: Arbor Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
|
"Blessed waves of beautiful sounds build and decay into perfect pieces of music. From opposing locations and opposing approaches to drone, Ohios Emeralds and LAs Quintana Roo juxtapose themselves with skillful perfection. Emeralds epic synth composition "Bubble Quiet Complication" marks the acts first vinyl appearance, and possibly heaviest work to date. A tribute to the sine waves of 70s, this massive grower oscillates and progresses completely discretely; impossible to follow and completely transcendental. Bass heavy subsonic patterns work their way underneath the beauty, completely proving and reinforcing this bands recent acclaim. Quintana Roo (comprised of members of Robedoor, Pocahaunted, and Changeling et al.) take a more natural/native approach to their craft. A massive horn blasts marks a call to arms on "Beheaded Dynasty". Twinkling chimes and electric textures help paint a natural base. Hand drums start the onward march to oblivion, met along the way by a blessed to infinity bass line building to an organic overload. In a numbered edition of 450 emerald green LPs with printed labels and proprinted cardboard jackets with an insert all from the psyched psyche of Devon Varmega."- Arbor

|
Deluxe gatefold LP version with detailed liner notes, unseen photos, and a download card. "Pacific Northwest isolation mixed with wide-eyed ambition, a strong sense of family and the gift of music proved to be quite the combination for teenage brothers Donnie and Joe Emerson. Originally released in 1979, Dreamin Wild is the sonic vision of the talented Emerson boys, recorded in a family built home studio in rural Washington State. Situated in the unlikely blink-and-you-missed-it town of Fruitland and far removed from the late 1970s punk movement and the larger disco boom, Donnie and Joe tilled their own musical soil, channeling bedroom pop jams, raw funk, and yacht rock. Spurred on their high schools music program, Donnie and Joe received a further push from their lifelong farmer father, who drew up a contract stating that hed support his sons lofty ambitions with their very own recording studio as long as they focused on original material, sage advice for a man with zero experience in the music business. After taking out a second mortgage to help cover costs, Don Sr. also built his children a 300-capacity concert hall (dubbed Camp Jammin) replete with ticket booth, stage, and fully functioning snack bar. The only problem was that the projected audience never quite materialized, despite a prime time TV profile entitled "The Rock And Roll Farmers" from nearby Spokane, Washington. Even the Emerson brothers school pals were nonplussed at their privately pressed long player; hand distributed to local music stores, but not as far as Seattle, five hours away from their rural home. Somewhat rejected by the muted response, but never surrendering, both Donnie and Joe continued down a musical path and are still active as performers today. This rare slice of bedroom-funk gets the usual Light In The Attic treatment with newly remastered audio, detailed liner notes, and expanded original album art with loads of photos from the Emersons collection." - Light In The Attic.

Spurred on their high schools music program, Donnie and Joe received a further push from their lifelong farmer father, who drew up a contract stating that hed support his sons lofty ambitions with their very own recording studio as long as they focused on original material, sage advice for a man with zero experience in the music business. After taking out a second mortgage to help cover costs, Don Sr. also built his children a 300-capacity concert hall (dubbed Camp Jammin) replete with ticket booth, stage, and fully functioning snack bar. The only problem was that the projected audience never quite materialized, despite a prime time TV profile entitled "The Rock And Roll Farmers" from nearby Spokane, Washington. Even the Emerson brothers school pals were nonplussed at their privately pressed long player; hand distributed to local music stores, but not as far as Seattle, five hours away from their rural home. Somewhat rejected by the muted response, but never surrendering, both Donnie and Joe continued down a musical path and are still active as performers today. This rare slice of bedroom-funk gets the usual Light In The Attic treatment with newly remastered audio, detailed liner notes, and expanded original album art with loads of photos from the Emersons collection." - Light In The Attic. |

"This came after Wizards and is a continuation of the Wizards dark, deep electronic, minimal, meditative type music. If you liked Wizards, you will probably like this, too.
As much of my trance work, it is inspired by Terry Riley, one of the earliest people ever to compose and perform long, extended, cyclic pieces in the electronic format. This is my first attempt at very deep, meditative music. This music was composed and performed between 1981 and 1985.
This is good, late night, deep meditative music. Very nice when using headphones, too.
The instrumentation is three Sequencial Circuits PRO-1s, Crumar Traveler One and a Yamaha SK-20, all real time recording to a Teac 4-track reel-to-reel. I mixed the four tracks to a Teac A-6300 Master 2-Track using a DeltaLab DL-2 to create the delay track. In 2006, I used a Tascam 34B 4-track to remaster all my master tapes to digital master of 196 KHz/24 bit .WAV files using Soundforge 8 software." - North Star Productions. 1986 release.

"A reissue of an under-heard classic from the Space Wizard himself. A true honor to put this back on cassette. From the mouth of the man: "Created in 1980-81, this album continues my mix of electronics and jazz. The instrumentation on this album was a Crumar Traveler 1 organ, Yamaha CS-15 Synthesizer, Octave Cat Synthesizer, Yairi DY-74 acoustic guitar with an Echoplex EP-4, Ross Phaser pedal and a DOD Compressor/Limiter pedal. A Teac 4 channel reel deck was used for the multi-tracked recording. Side one starts with a tape loop using the Crumar Organ mixed with wind chimes and birds that were recorded live. The next two pieces were created with acoustic guitar and synthesizer. The final piece is using the organ. Greg Kelly, exceptional guitarist friend of mine, plays the acoustic guitar on Memories of Atlantis, which we co-wrote. Side two is all multi-tracked organ and synthesizers." - Sun Ark.

"This complilation is created from the original tapes and LP. The tracks were cut from the original tapes and digitized at 196 hHz/24 bit for the production of this CD. Rain Forest Music - Take recordings of rainfall and thurnder from the East Texas forests, and bird sounds from the Houston Zoomixed with soothing, electronic music and it creates a peaceful, listening experience. This is the original version of Rain Forest Music created in 1981 on a cassette titled, "Sound Paintings" and named "Rain Forest." I then give its own tape title, "Rain Forest Music" with "Ocean Music" as side two. I have kept the title names as used on the original tapes. Ocean Music - Inspired by many early morning and evening walks on many different beaches sets up this musical experience! This originally was side two of the "Rain Forest Music" tape. It consist of four jazz/electronic pieces with synthesized ocean sounds in the background. Visions of Life "Visions of Life" was originally a tape with "Rain Forest Music" as side two. Then I presented it on the Rain Forest Music LP as "Visions During Movement." I used a recording technique called, Continuous Tape Looping. It was used on albums by Terry Riley, Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, to name a few artist. I used two reel-to-reel tape decks placed about a foot apart, though you can set different distances to control the loop timing. This was all done in real time by starting the recording on deck 1, playing it back on deck 2 feeding the signal back to deck 1 carefully keeping the recording level stable, all the while adding new music and letting old music fade out. This image from the back cover of Brian Enos Discreet vinyl album illustates how this works. I used the Crumar Organ as the only instrument, adding different riffs and themes as it developed. Then I did the final master using a tape delay for the movement between tracks and a synthesizer for the ocean sounds. Album cover was from an orginal water color created especially for the LP in 1982 by a local, Houston artist, Molly Khan. The sunrise photo was taken one morning in Virginia Beach, VA, during the 70s. The instrumentation is a Crumar Traveler-1 organ and Yairi accoustic guitar processed with an EchoPlex EP-4, a DOD Phaser and a Ross Compressor recorded on a Teac A-3340S." - North Star Productions.

Influenced by the organ works of Terry Riley and the kosmische school of krautrock, and rendered with a uniquely personal warmth, Emmanuels work stands out as something singular in the world of early basement electronics. Solid Dawn collects material from long out-of-print tapes, remastered for the first time, with participation from the artist at every stage. Featuring liner notes and photographs by Mr. Emmanuel, this is an essential release for anyone interested in the history of underground electronic music."-Kvist |

"I compose and perform electronic synthesizer music, which sometimes includes electronically enhanced acoustic and electric guitar. The term I like to use for my music is Electronic Minimal. My music style is to first create a foundation using cyclic, poly rhythmic music, then build several layers of improvised leads and rhythms. I have an extensive background in spiritual and metaphysical studies. This is another influence in how I compose and perform my music as I also look at my music as an Electronic Meditation. In meditation, a mantrum is used to focus the mind and keep it from drifting during the meditation. The manturm then allows the meditations and comtemplations. My music is very similar to a mediatation in that the mantrum is the cyclic, poly-rhythmic music foundation that I use to set the theme of the composition. The leads and rhythms are my meditations based on the
mantrum foundation. Not only is my music for general listening, it can also enhance the ability of the mind and the spirit to go beyond what is considered the "normal" boundaries of the five senses to the "Source of Ones Being" for work with creativity, increase spiritual awareness, mind expansion or to just have a nice time being there to refresh the Soul. My music is wonderful as background when working, reading or studying to help focus for better retention without getting too tired, as well as used for relaxation or during a massage to release tension better for deeper body work. "Wizards" was my first deep trance electronic music album. This album was inspired by TERRY RILEY, one of the earliest people ever to compose and perform long, extended, cyclic pieces in the electronic format. This music was composed and performed in 81 and 82. I consider this album
to be the best representation of the type of music I like to create. The instrumentation is three Sequencial Circuits PRO-1s and a Yamaha SK-20,
all real time recording to a Teac 4-track reel-to-reel." - J.D. EMMANUEL
""Music of Other Memories" - Reissue from this 1982 soothing synth album. This is a listeners
experience of meditative trance that will beam you right through the first portal of dreaming. This is lucid magic. A personal and warm statement by this fantastic musician and writer. The music is mastered straight from the original mastertapes. The lp is housed in individually hand-printed reproductions of the original artwork.

A few years later, in 2011, J.D. was asked to tour through Europe where he was accompanied by Dolphins Into The Future and Paul LaBrecque. Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, and Holland welcomed J.D. and the people attending the concerts knew they were in for an electronic blast from the past. This 2LP set covers the tour with a great deal of unreleased live tracks. The live recordings show J.D.s phenomenal skill to create a universe of swirling and constantly turning sounds. Hes up there in the big league of early electronic and new age pioneers with the likes of Iasos, Laurie Spiegel, and Trans-Millenia Consort. Some words from the man himself: "After my European tour, I decided to use the name Time Traveler to describe my music because it can put the listener into a state where time seems to disappear. This is my goal with my music, to create an altered state for expanding consciousness." With Hawaiian-inspired artwork, just like J.D.s colorful character, and of course, his T-shirts.

| "Seattles Emuul has been around the block a few times over the last few years, releasing an excellent string of tapes on Digitalis, Monorail Trespassing, Stunned and others. Emuul (Kyle Iman) has always shown a masterful level of restraint and subtlety, leaving the listener to fill in the blanks. Iman uses each song as a dot on a map that ultimately leads you to an aural treasure. The Drawing Of The Line is his most fully-realized work, crafting a set of deceptively complex songs that flirt with unexpected, slightly-buried pop influences to create an expertly-composed meditation on an unknown future. On the opener, "Expectations," Emuul is at its restrained and sanguine best. Using a series of repetitive, evocative notes over a bed of rising-and-falling oscillations, theres much promise ahead. "Love Theme" is even more tender and blossoms into near-catharsis, longing for that time when everything you hope for is finally within reach. Those feelings are set aside with the worried and frenetic walls of "The First Look." As the synthesizer and guitar move faster, and as wordless vocals descend on the mix, it is as though things didnt quite turn out the way they could have. He brings it all home when he closes out the A-Side with the six-minute "Big Clouds," - recorded to tape and sounding dense to the point of breaking, while the side-long "Plus One" is the ultimate pay-off for all that came before, a 21 minute meditation on self-reflection and acceptance. The Drawing Of The Line is a beautiful album that offers the perfect introduction to Emuuls sound." - Digitalis. |

For their sophomore release, the pair has opened up their tonal palette considerably. While the comparisons that critics made of their first album to the work of Tim Hecker and Stars of the Lid still hold true, Already Gone finds Croy and Devane mining even richer sonic climes. Here, the duo pull back the curtain on some of their source material, a move that allows the diversity of their instrumentation to resonate. On The Sea Saw Swell, Croys acoustic koto pings across the stereo spectrum as a looping guitar figure from Devane evaporates from the haze of a beautiful, slowly shifting drone. The side-long closer Elysia is likely the duos defining recording to date, an epic slow-burner that reaches heights both angelic and cacophonous. Ultimately, it is the harmonious marriage of the organic and the obscured that recurs throughout the album that proves its defining trait, and it is precisely what makes En stand out in the ever-growing field of contemporary drone/ambient music." -Students Of Decay. |

Artist: END OF YOUR GARDEN/DE MA VERE BELGIERE Title: Split Format: LP Label: Dark Entries Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "This split LP combines two 7″s from the Danish bands End Of Your Garden and De Ma Vere Belgiere originally released on the Replik Muzick record label in 1981/83. End Of Your Garden were a trio from Haderslev who took their name from the Joy Division song “Eternal”. Inspired after reading an NME review of the first Young Marble Giants release, the band formed in late 1980. Using a DIY mentality, they employed a sparse, simple sound built around synthesizer, rhythm box, bass, guitar and violin, which set them apart from their contemporaries. The recording for the Celebration 7″ took place during one weekend in the summer of 1981 with producer Ingolf Brown of Danish synthpop band Moral. The four songs on the Celebration 7″ showed the diverse range this band covered during their short life. After recording the Test 7″ in 1982 the band broke up and members went on to form Tristan T. De Må Være Belgiere were a four-piece from Aarhus formed in 1982. Their sole release was a 7″ recorded in February 1983 and the music was a product of the Factory Records post punk sound conveying a melancholic and mournful mood. The band played guitar, bass, drums, sang in their native language of Danish and shared a love for Echo and the Bunnymen, Josef K., The Cure and Joy Division. Sadly the group broke up in 1984 after a handful of live shows, one of which was recorded and released on CD in 2006 by Tryghed & Tristesse Records. All songs were remastered from the original reel to reel tapes by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP includes a lyric sheet with unreleased photos of each band and is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. This split LP is released in conjunction with Tryghed & Tristesse Records of Denmark who have the CD version with bonus tracks by both bands." - Dark Entries. |

For the uninitiated, Endless Boogies music could be described as remarkable in its niggling mindlessness, its funereal parade of yawn-enforcing riffs, the pseudo-light it throws upon non-problems. And, of course, this is a really good thing." - ? After 4+ years of playing the shittiest dives in NYC (and the Slint-curated ATP fest..), Endless Boogie have finally released, not one, but two lps! All star line-up features Paul Majors (beyond-legendary underground record trafficker - see recent issue of VICE. ?), Chris Gray (Double Leopards, White Rock), Jesper (1/2 Special label head -released the last batch of Trad Gras discs) and Marko Pezzati (Naked Raygun!).

| "this is a collection of rare and unreleased tracks by these crazed heavy industrialised weirdos from sweden! all recorded between 1986 and 1988. originally formed in 85 by kai parviainen and mats lundberg (who later got replaced by landgang) ENEMA SYRINGE played heavy monotone simple noise industrial the way it should be done; straight forward, loud, heavy and simple!! brutal toy synths and repetitive beats dominate the whole recorded archive and the few live sets this duo did, spiced with horrific sounding lyrics in swedish (usually about funnier things then the usual industrial fan would hope for like farts, massage shops, etc..) all of the tracks on this lp are recorded without any mixing possibilty straight onto two channels with a marrantz amp and a tape deck, prophet one, casio RZ1 drummachine, casio toy synth, an old rhythm box and vocals thu headphones and a crappy mike! these beats are the best fist in the airpumpers ever, reminding of early throbbing gristle, club moral or more recent wolf eyes and meerk puffy! the lp comes with liner notes by kai parviainen, a discography, and is completely remastered. artwork by dennis tyfus limited to 400 copies"- Ultra Eczema. |

Artist: ENGLISH, LAWRENCE Title: Kiri No Oto Format: LP Label: Digitalis Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Theres no doubt that Australia-based media artist, composer and curator Lawrence English has been responsible for some of the best drone compositions in the past decade, but with Kiri No Oto he unleashed his magnum opus. Its a stunning album on every level. English blends an array of natural and unnatural sources into a living document that is constantly captivating and engages the listener on many levels. This is a work set apart from much of Englishs discography, but still blanketed by his exquisite attention to detail that keeps everything in its right place. Originally released as a CD on the Touch label (TONE 031CD) in 2008, Kiri No Oto finds a new lease on life etched into wax. Album opener "Organs Lost At Sea" leaves nothing to chance. From the first saturated chords, you are enveloped in Kiris aural landscape. Towering drones get weighted down with fuzz, overpowering the fog thats present throughout the record. Its like hearing the hum of the Earth released from its cage for the first time. Flowing seamlessly into the quieter but no less imposing "Soft Fuse," theres never a chance to catch your breath. English is content to overrun your ears. "Waves Sheer Light" catches you by the wings and lifts you high into the clouds. This is what floating sounds like. Its an enchanted and dizzying experience. This is music that is timeless in the literal sense. You get lost within these sonic walls, unsure if youve been swimming there for hours or only a few minutes. This is especially true on the underwater gauziness of "Figures Lone Static." It feels endless. "White Spray" plies similar ground with bits and pieces of electric harmonics peaking through the static every so often, acting as beacons to find your way. One is content to get lost here. As the album comes to a close on the cathartic "Oamura," Lawrence Englishs job is done. He has taken you on a dynamic journey and kept you riding on eternal highs. When the melodic tones finally get overtaken by the sound of ocean waves, it is simply time to flip it over and start the experience again. Vinyl cut at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin. Limited to 500 copies only for the world." - Digitalis. |

Over four bruised side-long cuts, Live in Kyoto faithfully captures the intensity of one particularly eviscerating evening of ritualized self expression at Kyotos Tanq space in 2004. This is liminal ecstatic drone, clatter & relentless sound bursts with a rough-around-the-edges vibe that maintains a loose kinetic debt to everything from La Monte Young & the Theater of Eternal Music to Keiji Haino, AMM & Fushitsusha.

Saloth Sar contains two massive tracks from Enos Slaughter, all electric and poking a thumb in third eyes everywhere.

Artist: ENSEMBLE ECONOMIQUE Title: Live In London Format: Cass Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $7.00 |
| "BRIAN PYLEs work under the ENSEMBLE ECONOMIQUE banner has been undergoing heavy shift lately, prompted by both creative restlessness as well as inner life upheavals. Hes quested out on 2 lone wolf UK/Euro tours in the past half-year alone, plus dropped an ace LP on the Dekorder label of ominous soundtrack menace. When rapid transformation takes hold, its best to just roll tape and make sense of it later. Thus, in anticipation of his forthcoming 2012 NNF full-length, we present EE: Live In London, an impressively recorded 37-minute performance at The Vortex in August of last year, comprised of all new material. Primitive drum machine rhythms stutter in primal-industrial patterns, cloaked in disquieting drones and oblique tape samples (police sirens, jungle bird calls, Sinead OConnor vocal raptures), accompanied by pained crooning, ragged squalls of electric guitar, and minor-key synth depressions. More song-based than his voodoo hallucination breakthrough, 2010s Psychical, but no less unsettling, the new Economique approach has shades of Eyeless In Gazas eerie, fatalist drift but the thrust is some sort of goth-psych/beat music hybrid that were not aware even really exists yet. A captivating document of an artist at the crossroads. White, imprinted tapes with high-art jazz-splatter J-cards designed by AMANDA BROWN. Edition of 150." -Not Not Fun. |

Artist: ENSEMBLE ECONOMIQUE Title: Psychical Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Brian Pyle is well-known for his enterprising shamanism as one half of Nor Cal improv gurus Starving Weirdos but when off-roading in his Ensemble Economique buggy he seems to stumble onto even weirder psychogenic artifacts. Psychical is Pyles freshest full-length and easily his most drugged and dense. Thick, humid banks of synth-fog descend over looped cult hand-drum patterns, strangely panned waves of brainwash tones, and snippets of third world voices mumbling about blood and marijuana. As the name half-jokingly implies, EE is 100% Pyles creation instrument-wise, although his wife Phoenix does intone some possessed doom poetry over the crushing war drums of Forever Eyes and Tom Carter (of Charalambides) cameos with some searing white light guitar shrapnel on the creep-out raga of Real Things. All the pieces dissolve into one another, giving Psychical a dark-trip soundtrack mood, an upriver lost soul convoy into hostile off-radar territories, a thousand spectral voices misting down like blackening monsoon clouds. A total haunter, and an LP weve been spinning many midnights around NNF HQ. Black vinyl LPs in jackets with occult VHS artwork by Manda Beth Brown. Edition of 470." -Not Not Fun |

Artist: ENSEMBLE ECONOMIQUE Title: Standing Still, Facing Forward Format: LP Label: Amish Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "Brian Pyle is Ensemble Economique. This is the first LP release from Ensemble Economique. Digitalis issued the At the Foot of Nameless Roads CD in 2008. Both recordings are important primers to Pyles nascent invocations of Holger Czukays Cannaxis (on No GPS) and Karlheinz Stockhausens Kontake (on At the Foot). With Standing Still, Facing Forward Ensemble Economique provides the most mature realization of Pyles compositional process, which utilizes found sounds, field recordings, and musical performance that he later meticulously edits, layers, and loops in the studio. The effects of these processes are dramatic, cinematic and conceptually rigorous and this recording evidences Pyle as an important new composer emerging out of the long and storied tradition of West Coast experimentalism. Utilizing a delicate combination of the homespun improvisation of his other project, Starving Weirdos (whose work sounds like an American echo of AMM) with his own unique variation on the European avant-garde in Ensemble Economique, Pyles practice involves a dense approach to composition akin to assemblage. But unlike electronic and laptop composition, Pyles studio work aims to re-establish an organicism associated with live (or, in the case of the field recordings, lived) performance that pushes the studio out into nature and nature into the studio. In short, the Northern Californian landscape plays an integral part in Ensemble Economiques soundscapes, and this record captures much of the atmosphere of Pyles home terrain." LP comes wrapped in a letter-pressed band and contains a 16-page art book." -Amish. |

Original LPs from 1986. "Rolf Enström can look back on a fifteen year period as a composer. His list of works includes a number of very carefully crafted compositions of high artistic quality. Several of his works have become classics; one thinks especially of Directions (1979) and Final Curses (1981). Rolf Enström is a composer who unceasingly seeks new artistic paths and new means of expression and this is something which has led him to combine music with other art forms, primarily the visual arts and literature. On this record, we meet Enström as a composer of pure electroacoustic music. The three works Dagbrott, Sekvens i blått and TNT span a period of eight years." - Fylkingen.

Artist: EPPLAY, VINCENT & SAMON TAKAHASHI Title: Soundtracks For The Movies Of Pierre Clementi Format: LP Label: Planam Country: Italy Price: $29.00 |
| "First performed at the CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux in March 2009, Soundtracks For The Movies Of Pierre Clemanti is an electronic concrete music including many references to psychedelia, Krautrock, spontaneous sound creation of the 1960s-70s, building an intense dialogue with the specific universe of Pierre Clementi. Even if psychedelia and electroacoustic music seem to have little in common, they got intersected in the work of some advanced artists. On one side electronics entered rock and free jazz, on the other electric guitar and drums have been manipulated by adventurous modern composers. We could take Joseph Byrd, Friendsound, Faust, Supersister or Brainticket as a reference as well as Luc Ferrari, Jacques Lejeune, Bernard Parmegiani or Pierre Henry. A complete list of exchanges and collaborations would be too long to compile. Their common background could be defined as the need to enter our unexplored inner consciousness, either through the use of drugs and lysergic substances, or through mysticism or esthetic explorations. Vincent Epplay and Samon Takahashis music as pure experience and sonic-energy is the perfect soundtrack to the three movies by Pierre Clementi. The first two movies Positano - Bobine 30B01 (1969) and La Deuxième femme - Bobine J (1967-78) are the documentation of an intense period of experiences shared with Nico, Philippe Garrel, Frédéric Pardo, Tina Aumont, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Bulle Ogier, Marc O, Viva and many others. The third movie, La révolution nest quun début: continuons le combat (1968), is a true hymn to freedom and is based around the May 68 events. Like a hallucinatory flux, the images of these three movies have been used by Epplay and Takahashi as the starting point for creating a unique sound experience. Edition limited to 300 copies with full-color sleeve, inner sleeve and insert, reproducing some very inspired scenes from the movies of Pierre Clementi." - Planam. Side-label of Alga Marghen. |

Artist: EREWHON CALLING Title: Experimental Sound in New Zealand Format: Book Label: CMR Country: New Zealand Price: $40.00 |
|
"Erewhon Calling: experimental sound in New Zealand
is a lavishly-illustrated new publication from the
Audio Foundation and CMR. It is a survey of how
a bunch of antipodean misfits and malcontents
have forged new ways and new reasons to make
noise, here at the end of the earth. Edited by Bruce
Russell (the Dead C.), in association with Richard
Francis and Zoe Drayton; the aim of this volume
is to survey the full range of non-standard audio
practices in contemporary NZ culture. The books
remit runs from the borders of composed art
music, through improvised noise, to deconstructed
rockn pop filth; and every genre, every scene,
every permutation of unconventional audio practice
in-between. The aim is not to be comprehensive
(there is literally too much vitality and diversity for
any book!). The hope is to throw a good handful of
gravel into the pool. While not every eel will have
been hit, the surface will have been rippled from
shore to shore, which is more than anyone else has
even attempted before.
Erewhon Calling makes room for many voices,
allowing multiple and possibly conflicting voices
and points of view. A range of artists and informed
commentators mainly tell their own stories, describe
their own work, and outline their own goals in
working on the fringes of audio culture. The readers
of this important new source book will be able to
discern their own meanings and make their own
connections from this thought-provoking and unique publication." - CMR.

Artist: ERGO SUM Title: Mexico Format: CD Label: Lion Productions Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Along with the two records by Nurse With Wound favorites Moving Gelatine Plates, Ergo Sums weird and wonderful Mexico album is an unusual portal into the intense creativity of early 1970s French music. True, the bands are not musically similar; yet these three albums are distinguished not only by their instrumental richness, but by their unceasing sense of adventure. One could go so far to say that Ergo Sum presents one of the most distinctive experiences in a rock idiom (apart from Zeuhl music juggernaut Magma) to ever come from France. The bands one and only album (1971) features the unique voice of Lionel Ledissez, whose guttural sort-of-English language delivery described as being somewhere between Familys Roger Chapman and a drunken Champs-Elysees taxi driver, although more sober comparisons to Tim and/or Jeff Buckley have also been made. The compositions develop at a relaxed pace; incredible jazz-inflected guitar, flute, piano and droning violin swirl around the vocals, and keep one submerged in, yet attentive to the intimate mood. Includes a handful of bonus tracks and a 28-page booklet with band history, photos, lyrics, and a contemporary 1971 review from Superhebdo magazine. A three o-clock in the morning, slow burn album if ever there was one." -Lion Production |

Artist: ERIE, CYRUS & THE QUICK Title: Get The Message/Southern Comfort Format: 7" Label: Eric Country: USA Price: $7.50 |
| "One of only a handful of North American garage acts to digest the maxim of the Whos maximum R&B and temper it with the dramatic teen pop appeal of the Easybeats and Small Faces, Cyrus Erie and the Quick mark GROUND ZERO not merely for Buckeye state Angophilia, but also for the greatest power pop band of the 1970s:  The Raspberries.  Long before Wally Bryson was a teen angel and Eric Carmen was all by himself, the future Lennon/McCartneys of Cleveland were devouring the British Beat scene mail-order, scouring the margins of imported copies of Melody Maker and Fab 208; copping looks, licks and hair-styles (dig the drummers perm!).  Allotted just two stiff single shots on Epic in 1969, Cyrus Erie and the Quick were huge on their home turf, but could never go all the way outside their Midwestern enclave.  Here now is both their end and their beginning.  The post-Choir, pre-Berry harvest.  Tin soldiers melted with Friday on my minds eye.  As necessary for pop fans as life itself." |

Artist: ERIKM & LUC FERRARI Title: Visitation Format: One-Sided LP Label: Planam Country: Italy Price: $29.00 |
| "Visitation, created on April 1st, 2011 is a very unique kind of collaboration between two French sonic artists, master Luc Ferrari and eRikm. Here is eRikm direct testimony about this new work: When the sun set on April 1st, 2011 I heard through the windows of my house the repetitive song of a night bird. Madeleine brought me immediately back to Luc Ferrari¹s electroacoustic piece Presque Rien N° 2. I became curious about comparing the bird that was officiating in the garden of Cap15 (in the North area of Marseille) with the bird of Presque Rien. My curiosity triggered the desire to play Luc¹s piece in the acoustic space of my house. With my rudimentary recorder I moved inside and outside the house moving back and forth between both spaces. I played with the depth of field, the beat between these two birds separated by 34 years and immersed myself in these acoustic events. This Ursprung or temporal Klein bottle was recorded and edited in one single sequence shot." Very hard to confront with one of the all-time masterpieces of modern creation as Luc Ferraris Presque Rien N° 2... but listening to this piece you immediately get the impression of a perfectly accomplished work, published now on LP on your favorite label. So here is the first ever LP by eRikm, elegantly released with Presque Rien iconic mouth picture on the sleeve; dedicated to Brunhild Ferrari and to Natacha Muslera. Edition limited to 350 copies." -Planam |

A trio, led by drummer Ertunc, with Michael Cosmic (as, cl, fl, bcl, sop, piccolo, organ, perc.) & Phill Musra (ts, ss, fl, zurna, cl, perc.).

Artist: ES Title: A Love Cycle Format: CD Label: Fonal Country: Finland Price: $17.50 |
| "The second album from Es aka Sami Sänpäkkilä. On this album the main source of sound is three turntables bought from flea markets for 10 dollars a piece. Those and a few effects are the only sound sources that have been used. The atmosphere maintains its course of melancholy through these romantic, and at times heartbreaking sound collages. The adjacent loops that you hear begin to create new dimensions and layers of sound. And when you listen to the song you can almost hear that forgotten melody that you have always searched for in your heart. Recognizable (and acknowledged) exemplariness can be heard when thinking of such artists as the loop n scratch artist Philip Jeck and Terry Riley." - Fonal. |

Artist: ES Title: Flick Format: CD Label: Kraak Country: Belgium Price: $15.00 |

Excerpts from his talents could be found on the Killa 7"s but here he is operating alone on his selfbuild guitar and other "soundlabs". Its dark and quiet with lots of floating, hissing and inspired contructions. Every now and then a melody pops up which brings together the harmony between impro and a "listenable" experience. As for guitarplay he got his own way in "sweeping" his strings. Es becomes soon something very personal and introspective in each individual life." - Kraak. |

Artist: ES Title: Kesämaan Lapset Format: LP Label: Fonal Country: Finland Price: $18.00 |
| "This is Fonal label-head and filmmaker Sami Sänpäkkiläs fifth solo album under the name Es. Recorded during a 3-year period, it is a mixture of pop and sacred soundscapes with influences varying from contemporary indie-rock to ancient classical music. The name translates to "The Children Of The Summerland," and is an homage to Finnish cult folk legend Pekka Strengs album Kesämaa ("Summerland"), which is one of the artists favorite Finnish albums ever made. Various quirky instrumentation is used on Kesämaan Lapset; from high-end analog synthesizers and upright pianos to cheap flea market Casios. A few special guests make an appearance on this record, including Laura Laurila (violin), Tuomas Eriksson (Risto) (trombone) and Elissa Määttänen (vocals). On "Ennen Oli Huonommin," squiggling, rapid-fire synth noises battle a chorus of angels against a droning and static-y backdrop. On "Haamut Sun Sydämestä," high-pitched cries ride on top of a melancholy piano line, while what seems like thousands of pitched-shifted orchestras and bleeps multiply and rise atonally. The title track is a stunning, epic drone-piece with chanting vocals in a golden forest of sound: strings and horn lines, sinuous, ethereal synths and organ mantras. Recorded at home in the bedroom and abroad on various travels, Es has crafted a haunting summer album that evokes a strange, nostalgic, visceral response, like gazing at childhood photographs." -Fonal |

| "As an artist, Sänpäkkilä is someone who transcends conventional boundaries: film, music and visual art each vie for his attention. In fact, these separate areas are integrated in his work to such an extent that he could with equal justification be considered a visual artist, a filmmaker or a musician. His experimental short films are most notably characterised by a certain suspension. For instance, Sänpäkkilä portrays repetitive jumps, trudging through snow or waking up repeatedly. This suspension is also present in the soundtracks to his works. The resulting entity is hypnotic, trance-inducing. It has been said that every trance is an attempt to solve a problem. This should be understood broadly: a problem could be anything, positive or negative, that calls for a decision or a solution. For the artist, it could be a problem or a challenge related to his work, and whilst dealing with it he falls into a state of waking dream. The spectators, however, do not have to concern themselves with the artists problems. Each of them has a trance of their own, a train of thought that produces the ideas, solutions or answers for which they are prepared and which are useful to them. A trance does have an intrinsic value, though. It is a creative state in the twilight zone between sleep and a waking state. Trance can also be described as movement, like the jumps in 91: 11-12 or the running in Surrealistin Kaksi Vasenta Kättä. This movement can lead to the recuperation, as well as the regeneration, of the mind and the senses. While it may initially be less obvious, another prominent quality of Sänpäkkiläs art is spirituality." Region Free. PAL & NTSC (double sided for worldwide play). |

Artist: ESCOMBROS Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $44.00 |
| "Escombros, were at the top of the underground scene in Chile together with Los Jaivas, Blops, Aguaturbia and Kissing Spell. Recorded in 1970 for the Arena label. Only one single and one LP was released. Escombros are: Walter Sitzmann, Lito Benito, Ricardo Mendeville, Jose Rosenblut and Michel Boisier. Walters great compositions and vocals on all tracks create a unique and strong underground vibe, with great fuzz guitars, drums, bass and organ that are much heavier than in most bands from Chile. Their influences are Jimmy Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd and Grand Funk Railroad. All English vocals. After this recording Walter left Chile, so the band split up. For us Escombros is perhaps the best example for really cool underground music from Latin America with amazing vocals and extraordinary songs. This release has two bonus tracks from the rare single. 500 numbered/heavy sleeve/180 gram pressing/insert." -Shadoks |

Artist: ESH, SAM & HARD BLACK THING Title: Montezuma Baby Duck Format: LP Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "From 1994, a small stash of these long out-of-print LPs turned up during a recent renovation & its easily the strangest release in the Siltbreeze catalog. Hard Black Thing was a Columbus, Ohio, quartet featuring Sam Esh (former Woodruff Ave. block captain, now mayor of a small unnamed hamlet near Savannah, Georgia), Mike Rep (Quotas, True Believers, etc.) Stu Sinn & Roger Time (both from the Harry Patt Band). Soundwise, HBTs side is a stumbling, white-knuckled barrel ride through myriad soundscapes as diverse as Amon Düül, Kalacakra, Portsmouth Sinfonia, Steve Marcus & Door & The Window, sometimes all at once! Side 2 begins w/ excerpts from the unreleased Sam Esh comedy LP. The sound is not unlike one might expect if one expects to find the likes of Tubby Boots channeling Jack Mudurian at a volunteer fire department turkey raffle. The laughs are on you, friend! Then its a down n dirty steel string strum & coarse vocal hum that is capable of reducing even the most erudite Alan Lomax sycophant to nothing more than a human tear box lost in Porch Swing, USA. Label art by Graham Lambkin. An LP that definitely needs to heard to be conquered." - Siltbreeze. |

Artist: ESHETE, ALEMAYEHU Title: Alemayehu Eshete Format: LP Label: Mississippi Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Known by some as the Ethiopian Elvis, Alameyahu Eshete was the ultimate modernist. His music combined R&B, Ethiopian groove, soul, rock n roll, and traditional Ethiopian music to create something truly unique. This LP features a collection of his 45s recorded between 1967 and 1974. Back to back true classics. The fourth in our continuing series of releases culled from the monumental Ethiopiques series." -Mississippi. |

Artist: ESKIMO KING Title: Weird Flag Format: CDR Label: Abandon Ship Country: USA Price: $5.00 |

"As Brian Sullivan still flies high from his performance at No Fun Fest this year, weve prepared a gem of a release from this half of the now legendary Mouthus. While feeding off of similar meditative vibes of the aforementioned Brooklyn duo, he manages to put together a cohesive collection of distinct tracks he can call his own. Infinite layers of blown out fuzz dominate some tracks, and deep, trance-inducing rhythms prevail in others. Another primer for an up-and-coming ASR LP, due later this year. Keep your eyes peeled. And as with most Mouthus-related material, this one will not be around for very long. CDR edition of 100" -Abandon Ship.

Artist: ESKIMO KING/AFTERNOON PENIS Title: Split Format: LP Label: Abandon Ship Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "A split offering from two of the baddest dudes on the east coast. Both members of Mouthus, Brian Sullivan (Eskimo King) and Nate Nelson (Afternoon Penis) each take the reigns on their respective sides of the record. Eskimo King churns out three tracks of melancholy-bizarro-skuzz riffs and ethereal wind-chimage. The drum samples on Dry Strike track take me back to earlier Mouthus times, when the world was still young. Keep it close to your turntable after your first listen because you will undoubtedly need to play it again and again. Afternoon Penis presents us with something entirely off the beaten path. Truly strange and epic, this freaked-out sidelong track sounds like something Bob Dylan would be singing in his head after a week-long ayahuasca binge. Utilizing several instruments, including percussion and the accordion, Nate also blesses us with a rhythmic mantra that should benefit both the mentally-ill and mentally-sound alike. Limited edition of 400 with plastic outer sleeve and insert." -Abandon Ship |

Artist: ESO STEEL Title: Technology Of Sleep Format: LP Label: 20 City Country: New Zealand Price: $13.50 |
| "New Zealand expat Richard Francis, now residing in Tokyo, lands on the shores of our senses with his one full length release for 2000, Technology of Sleep. Francis has been long active downunder in the world of NZ underground tape and acetate labels. After recording with the short lived guitar noise band Small Blue Torch (with Birchville Cat Motels Campbell Kneale), Francis set sails for the orient where he has been releasing a steady stream of tracks on CD and acetate record. Sleep indicates a development in style from the drone and loop releases of previous years. More compositional in approach, Steel works a gentle blend of natural and artificial field materials including high frequency pitches, deep bass and minute scratches of sound sourced from the natural environment, household appliances, and body movements. At times a combination of the noise from ones surroundings, as well as the natural pops and clicks of the vinyl are beckoned into the compositions through the spatial arrangement of sounds and Steels interesting use of altering volume. Recognizable but also unfamiliar, the territory mapped by Sleep sits comfortably in the electo-acoustic region of sound making, background or foreground." |

Artist: ESP KINETIC Title: Fleck-Nor Format: CDR Label: Music Mundane Country: UK Price: $12.50 |
| "ESP Kinetic existed from 1982-1986, in alternating states of heavy obscurity and mild infamy in their native Northamptonshire. The core of the band was Neil Campbell and Andrew Watson, with the multi-talented MS Turner giving them some extra musical and conceptual backbone for their final year or so. Other local freaks, transvestites and exhibitionists came and went, most notably the giant David Bowie impersonator Dougie Smyth, who lent the whole thing a certain debauched glamour. Our influences were probably glaringly obvious - PiL, The Fall, Virgin Prunes, TG, the Velvets etc - but always tempered by remedial musical ability and general smalltown weirdness. Tapes were recorded, bemused local audiences periodically baited, and the group tapped into the worldwide mail network that sufficed to link like-minded souls in the days before email. In 1985, some of the tapes somehow found their way to a Finnish tape label we had never heard of, and have never heard from since. They asked for a tape to release, so we cut them a wildly divergent mix from our archive and some fresh works in progress, sent it off complete with artwork and the whole thing seemed to disappear into space. Did it ever get any circulation in the frozen north? Did it get lost in the post? Nobody knows. Luckily we made a handful of copies before sending the master off, so now, 23 years later, we can finally give this some kind of proper release. The 13 tracks spread over 57 minutes holler loud and clear through multiple forms of lo-fidelity, covering a stylistic range of approaches that was meat and potatoes then, but seems pretty invigorating and fresh in this millenium of ever-narrowing generic restriction. Teenage trauma shriek, rhythmic pound, tape and electronics experiments, percussive burnout, unintelligible performance poetry, broken electro-pop and all manner of obscurist tactics permeate this collection, uninhibited by any notions of good taste or any fear of ridiculousness. For better or worse, this is the sound of growing up weird in a small town in the Midlands in Thatcherite Britain." - Music Mundane |

Artist: ESP KINETIC Title: Want Some Of This? Format: LP Label: Harbinger Sound Country: UK Price: $20.00 |
| "Harbinger Sound have been sitting for a long while now on a super-limited run of an LP recorded by my juvenille early 80s band ESP Kinetic. They’ve just told me the LPs are pressed, but awaiting “release” from the pressing plant, so perhaps these things will see the light of day this summer some time. No hurry, I suppose – some of this has waited nearly 30 years, so what are a few more months, eh? And what of the content of the LP? It’s called ”Want some of this?” (you don’t have to answer that question), it has a side of home recordings by myself and Andy Watson, recorded 1982-83, then another side of live chaos from 1984-85, where we were sometimes joined by our pals Dougie Smyth and John Larmour. It’s surprisingly varied... the LP continues in a fairly diverse way in varying grades lo/no-fidelity, including one longer track that appeared on Cause for Concern’s “Awareness is paranoia” compilation tape." – Neil Campbell, 2011. |

Artist: ESPERS Title: Espers Format: CD Label: Locust Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "Espers are a boy/girl/girl trio from Philly featuring singer/songwriter Greg Weeks, Meg Baird and Brooke Sietinsons who combine the elemental sound of acid-folk with the baroque arrangements of late 60s chamber rock. Fully versed in the sumptuous vernacular of drug music, the cradle of Appalachian song, and the succinct truths of the three-minute pop ballad, their full length debut is an irresistible collection of sweet and subtle songs essential for fans of Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Jackson C. Franck, Bread, Love & Dreams and Bert Jansch. Espers are the sound of the New Weird America the way it should be heard -- with the ease, infectious grace and absolute beauty of an ever expansive trio bound for ever greater pastures." - Locust. |

Artist: ESPERS Title: III Format: LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Picking up the threads with ease, Espers III was intended to be an aural reversal of the layered sound of II. The goal was to record fewer tracks in order to achieve a stronger, more oxygenated sonic presence. Where II was almost claustrophobic in its density and darkness, III was envisaged as being somehow lighter, effervescent; perhaps even of a cheery disposition at times (whoa there! Dont go not breaking our heart, Espers). Under these auspices, recording started in late 2008 and spilled into the spring and summer of 2009. As more time passed in the recording process, a growing dementia within both song and lyrics emerged, making even the most ethereal songs on III seem oddly unwholesome to all involved. As with past releases (both by Espers and significant others), III was recorded with the vinyl LP in mind, playing as a whole divided into two equally weighted sides. Recorded to analog tape and mixed to analog tape again at the end, the songs ended up in a stippled, rippling, ever-flowing space, another important factor in the realization of III. Space is a core concept here -- each of these songs in some way access new space, whether they are envisioning, locating, or claiming and colonizing it. In fact, IIIs working title was Colony, owing to a subtextual thought process that encompassed aspects of Herzogs Aguirre, Heart of Darkness, cult groups, deep Amazonian treks, religious nation building, ritualistic drug ceremonies (taking drugs to take canoe trips to take drugs on) -- eg., escape from assimilation, surviving cultural wars by embedding themselves in the wilderness, among friends and fellow travelers. The cover aesthetic and Xavier Schipanis arresting artwork mirror these themes and Espers desire to reach beyond what might be expected of an Espers album with metaphoric imagery and increased dimensionality -- not just a new Espers album, but indeed, a new Espers." - Drag City. |

Artist: ESPERS Title: The Weed Tree Format: CD Label: Locust Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "When discussions were first taking place for a teaser album before Espers next proper studio full length, it didnt take any of us long to agree on the timeliness of an album of cover songs. Over the last few years while out on the road supporting their self titled debut, audiences were floored by renditions of traditionals like the bittersweet Black is the Color or the intergalactic take on master traveler Michael Hurleys Blue Mountain. An album of covers & traditionals was a perfect plan. Simple, no big deal. Selections were made: Hurley, Nico, Durutti Column, Blue Oyster Cult, trad cuts inspired by Bert Jansch & the Famous Jug Band & a new original called Dead King -- a single dispatch from the future -- would fill out the album. We could call The Weed Tree yet another exemplary example of acid folk, baroque psych or sunshine pop with a sinister edge but none of this brings us any closer to giving meaning to a mess of unexplainable tears -- the result of the old happy/sad life humdrum that, by now, is a personal blueprint for an album gifted with the arch beauty of the Weed Tree . So, The Weed Tree is an album between the stations but, as transitions go, this is just further proof that Espers are at the nadir of what makes music meaningful & meaning matter in music today." - Locust. |

Artist: ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO Title: 1980-1981 Prehistoric Sounds - Necrosis en la Poya & More Format: CD/3x7" Box Set Label: Geometrik Country: Spain Price: $39.00 |
"Special deluxe edition, limited to 1,000 numbered copies in a hard cardboard box set which includes three 7" singles (each with its own sleeve), a CD in a slim cardboard sleeve, an 8-page booklet and a numbered card. It contains the first material recorded by Spanish cult legends Esplendor Geométrico between 1980 and 1981. One of the singles includes their first demo, recorded after their formation, with three tracks of industrial-minimal-techno-pop, among which is the well-known "Moscú Está Helado." This demo was sent in 1980 to the German label Ata Tak, run by Der Plan, who chose "Moscú..." for their legendary compilation Fix Planet!. The second single is a facsimile reissue of Necrosis en la Poya, originally released in 1981 and which already shows EGs shift towards harsher industrial rhythms. Finally, the third single includes four tracks recorded in 1981 soon after Necrosis... Three of them are previously-unreleased and were found recently on an old, lost reel tape. The CD includes the 10 tracks from the singles plus another five extra tracks from the same period, originally released on the cassette Esplendor Geométrico 1980-1981. The 8-page booklet features texts, designs and period photos. All tracks have been remastered and the artwork is by Juan Carlos Sastre, professional designer and founding member of EG." -Geometrik. |

"The second album by influential Spanish industrial cult band Esplendor Geométrico, recorded in 1985, is now available again in its original format. After the first LP Héroe Del Trabajo? (1982) and a long period of little activity, E.G. reappeared in 1986 with Comisario De La Luz/Blanco De Fuerza. A record of obscure, rough and squeaky sounds in which they showed that, in spite of the elapsed time from the previous album, E.G. had their ideas clearer than never. Subsonic frequencies ("Comisario De La Luz II"), minimal rhythms ("Blanco De Fuerza II"), and even melodic lines congenially distorted ("Blanco De Fuerza III") certify a record which recovers the noise spirit from the beginnings of the band.

"Limited LP version. Desarrollos Geométricos (Geometric Developments) is the new album by influential Spanish cult legends Esplendor Geomerico. Recorded during 2010 and 2011, a few of the tracks on this release premiered at the bands performances in Europe. Esplendor Geométrico has developed a unique and personal style that has influenced many groups and is increasingly moving away from the clichés of Industrial Music. Arturo Lanz, who heads the group, thinks that they can no longer be labeled as "industrial." "Our music is deep, powerful, primitive and hypnotic, using electronic instruments and new technologies," he says. Desarrollos Geométricos follows in the steps of their previous album, 2009s impressive Pulsión, which was remixed on a 10" release by renowned musicians such as Frank Bretschneider and Atom TM. Repetitive and mechanic electronic rhythms are intermingled with recordings of voices, shouts, samples from traditional oriental music and percussions. Some tracks induce a kind of trance, and you wont be able to stop listening to them over and over again. Features 6 tracks, including 3 vinyl-only exclusives not on the CD." -Geometrik

| "Limited vinyl reissue of the first LP from Spanish industrial band Esplendor Geométrico. An industrial classic originally released in 1982 on the Tic Tac label, Esplendor Geométricos sound was already devoid of aggressive lyrics and even titles for their tracks (the A-side, El Acero del Partidio, is spread across five tracks while the B-side, Héroe Del Trabajo, has three tracks). Their sound had already begun to acquire a personality of its own, not fully mature but with an astounding austerity nonetheless: repetitive litanies infected by impossible machine sounds, noisy buzzes, organized metallurgy and newscasts from Eastern Europe, that glare by moments. For many fans, this is the best Esplendor Geométrico album and remains an absolute classic. Limited to 700 numbered copies; includes the cover and insert of the original, incredibly rare first edition." - Geometrik. |

Now available again in its original format. After a start in which the line of acute distortions and buzzy basses of their previous albums continues, it follows a surprising rhythmic viscerality, reaching its peak on the track "Trybuna Robotnicza," suitable for the most frantic dance and one of the greatest moments in their vast discography. Though this is a live recording, the sound does not differ too much from their studio recordings (theres no claps or sign of human presence), and it could be considered as the stylistic bridge to their Mekano-Turbo LP. Original artwork and exclusive inner sleeve; numbered limited edition of 700 copies." -Geomtrik. |

Originally released in 1988, its now available again in its original format, reissued by Geometrik Records. Finally, the fury is unleashed in all its splendor. The superb three initial tracks are pure rhythmic adrenaline on which is supported the totally runaway voice of Arturo Lanz. "Rotor" would be even considered as an unintentional approximation to electronic body music, as would "Belew" and "Mekano-Turbo." On the other hand, Gabriels stay in Melilla, North Africa imparts an influence from Arabic culture on tracks such as "Sheikh" and "Transmisión." Considered by the media and many fans as the groups masterpiece, the wonderful cover continues the customary line of showing strange machines and decadent industrial buildings.

"Pulsión is the new album of Esplendor Geometrico, the influential and acclaimed Spanish duo of survivors of the second Industrial wave on the early eighties. It includes six tracks (in the LP version) recorded between November 2008 and May 2009. Some have been already played in their last performances in Leipzig, Madrid and Barcelona with great success. Esplendor Geométricos style continues to have a unique and unmistakable mark that distinguishes them from later bands they have had an influence on. At first sight, Pulsión is pure Industrial hypnosis based on the electronic manipulation of sounds together with irresistible rhythms, repetitive, machine-like, industrial, hypnotic, sometimes tribal, sometimes danceable, that mix up voices and chants. Some of them are taken from traditional Arab and oriental musics (Mongolia, China,Tibet..) to be later electronically manipulated, others are simply speech fragments, as the one of a leader of a radical political party in Japan, Che Guevara, or an anti-occidental harangue from an Islamist leader. But the idea of EG is not to transmit any political or ideological message, the sources have been chosen for their strength and sonority. The LP Pulsion (limited 500 copies!) will contain 6 tracks: 4 from the CD version + 2 exclusive tracks: Metallum and Lamas." -- Geometrik

| "The Icy Echoer constitutes a premiere in many respects, for both, the label and the artists. After countless collaborations with the likes of Leif Elggren, CM von Hausswolff, Bryan Lewis Saunders and others (mostly released on CD), this 7 marks the first time that Espositos works are published on vinyl, while the same applies to the Fragment Factory. Likewise, believe it or not, its the very first appearance of Drumm on a 7 platter. Michael Esposito is an experimental artist and long-time researcher in Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), currently located in Chicago, IL. The EVPs which form the basis for The Icy Echoer were taken at St. John - St. Joseph cemetery in Hammond, IL, which has the reputation of being one of the most haunted places in the US. Kevin Drumm, based in Chicago as well, was certainly among the very first names that sunk deep into my memory when I became interested in experimental music back in the day. After a vast number of remarkable outputs on such labels as Nihilist, Hospital, Pica Disk, Editions Mego and several more during the past 13+ years, Im eminently happy to bring this one into the light of day. A document which I personally consider not only as the perfect interaction between two of the most exciting contemporary sound artists, but also as a significant point in the development of the Fragment Factory. 300 copies." - FF. |

Artist: ESPVALL HELENA & MASAKI BATOH Title: Overloaded Ark Format: Double LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "Further along the path of musical friendship that Helena Espvall and Masaki Batoh have discovered for themselves, we find Overloaded Ark ready to sail. And indeed, a new and better society might be provided for with all that theyve packed on board. These are end times, we are told. Often, though, the craft of Espvall & Batoh drifts through placid waters. In the distance, thunderheads raise up and lightning flashes. When the storms finally come raging, they blow through -- and, singular in purpose under skies of shifting color, the intrepid ark sails onward. Espvall & Batoh have come prepared for anything, armed with acoustic and electric guitars, cello, renaissance harp, organ, sho, banjo, electronics, recorders, piano, hurdy gurdy, frame drums and several more obscure instruments such as auschpfeife, crumhorn, cornamuse, darbuka, and rig. Listen for them! But look them up first, so you know what youre listening for. There are vocals as well, sung mostly by Helena but also with Batohs empathetic support. They are backed by two of Batohs Ghost-mates, Kazuo Ogino and Junzo Tateiwa, and joined by ancient music specialist Haruo Kondo. As on the first Espvall & Batoh album, Overloaded Ark features a trove of traditional and ancient music alongside self-composed explorations. Songs from many cultures and ages are in evidence, from Scandinavian folk to German madrigal to French and Italian medieval court dances and even a good old Latin hymn! Nearer our present day, Sueno Con Serpientes is a cautionary tale from the legendary Cuban protest singer Silvio Rodriguez, and Sham No Umi is a Batoh solo piece from the mid-90s. Espvall & Batoh endeavor to combine sounds from different times in history with an eye towards the creation of a peaceful new global village in the world of today. And indeed, Overloaded Ark is a gentle and expansive trip, fusing the sounds of east and west, new world and old into a new epic for all nations. Charted with grace and skill, Overloaded Ark is a human record, its passions focused under a stoic, enduring exterior." -Drag City |

Artist: ESSENDON AIRPORT Title: Palimpsest Format: Double CD Label: Chapter Music Country: Australia Price: $19.00 |
| "Chapter is very excited to announce a 30th anniversary reissue of Palimpsest, the one and only album by Melbourne post-punk icons Essendon Airport. Recorded in December 1981, Palimpsest is now reborn as a double disc package with a whole bonus CD of live and unreleased studio recordings spanning 1980-1983. Formed in 1978 as a minimalist duo of guitarist Robert Goodge and keyboardist David Chesworth, Essendon Airport released their landmark 7" EP Sonic Investigations Of The Trivial on Chesworths Innocent Records in 1979. Chapter Music reissued Sonic Investigations way back in 2002, as a CD including second single "Talking To Cleopatra" (with vocalist Anne Cessna) and a raft of bonus tracks. Originally gentle and inquisitive, with beats supplied by a drum machine ripped from a home organ, Essendon Airport began to expand after Sonic Investigations and explore the possibilities of rhythm. First came classically-untrained drummer Paul Fletcher, and then saxophonist Ian Cox, to form the four piece line-up heard on Palimpsest. With its dryly-intoned vocals, flailing polyrhythms and a postmodern fascination with appropriation and quotation, the album is an eccentric post-punk classic. The album title means "a manuscript page from which the text has been scraped off to be used again," while the original liner notes state "all" "songs" "written" "and" "produced" "by" "Essendon Airport." After Palimpsest, Essendon Airport added bassist Barbara Hogarth and grew to become one of inner city Melbournes premiere live attractions. "Creative differences," however, saw them disband in 1983, with Cox, Goodge and Hogarth forming Im Talking that same year with singer Kate Ceberano. The bonus "Live+More" disc collates 18 recordings, from the duo period to the impressively muscular, previously-undocumented five piece line-up. The original 1982 vinyl version of Palimpsest was presented in a screen-printed plastic cover, and this has been faithfully replicated in 2011 as a nifty clear plastic overlay." -Chapter Music |

Artist: ESSENDON AIRPORT Title: Sonic Investigations If The Trivial Format: CD Label: Chapter Music Country: Australia Price: $19.00 |
| "The band Essendon Airport began in Melbourne, 1978, as a duo of David Chesworth (keyboards and electronics), and Robert Goodge (guitar). They released an incredible 7" EP in 1979 called Sonic Investigations Of The Trivial, on Innocent Records, a label run by David Chesworth with Tch Tch Tchs Philip Brophy. A track from this EP was recently included on Chapters Cant Stop It! - Australian Post-Punk 1978-82 compilation CD. In 1980 they released a 7" single accompanied by a singer named Anne Cessna. They also had a track included on the Innocent compilation New Music 1978-79. Essendon Airport later gained extra members and released the Palimpsest LP in 1981. They broke up in 1983... Chapter Music has gathered together Essendon Airports duo recordings onto one CD, along with the Anne Cessna tracks, and five previously unheard live recordings. Sonic Investigations Of The Trivial is a fantastic document of a band years ahead of their times. The reissue features liner notes written by Ralph Traviato of Tch Tch Tch, as well as reproductions of original posters, record sleeves, press clippings and even chewing gum cards given out at their shows." - Chapter Music. |

Indirectly, via the legacy of the post-punk indie scene and particularly the role women took for themselves in it, Lora and her band/brand name changed the world.

Artist: ESTRELLA DE MARZO Title: A Los Ninos Con Amor Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $44.00 |
| "Most do not know much about music from Bolivia, like us. Whats flashing in our minds is the Andes, La Paz and flute music by Indios. But there are some great rock & underground bands such as Wara, Climax and most of all Estrella De Marzo. This album (still unknown to most collectors) is not only special because its from a country not many listeners know much about. This album is so great, so much underground, so unique and well crafted, that it goes into a strong competition with most classic underground releases from South America. If you are into wild fuzz guitar ala Zappa, and if you like Kissing Spell from Chile, beautiful vocals with strong lyrics and great beats, you will love this album. The early Pink Floyd has also influenced this album. For us it was one of the big musical discoveries for this year. Every track is great, high spirit progressive underground rock, as good as it can be. This album A Los Ninos Con Amor (To Children with Love) was recorded in 1974 with, keyboards, guitars, drums, bass & vocals. Numbered edition of 500 housed in a heavy sleeve; 180 gram pressing; includes double-sided insert." -Shadoks. |

Artist: ESTRIBOU & JEAN-PAUL PICKENS, GENE Title: Intensifications Format: CD Label: Locust Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "By no means household names, both Jean Paul-Pickens & Gene Estribou levitated around the Bay Area scene and each made a subtle mark along the way: Pickens was one of San Franciscos legendary Diggers and a knockout banjoist with poet David Meltzers folk rock outfit Serpent Power. Gene Estribou famously recorded the Grateful Deads second studio sessions & released their first 45 single in 1965. Footnotes? Sure. But that should only make the discovery of this lost gem all the more tantalizing. Cut in the mid-1960s, Intensifications is an obscure and illuminating slice of Marin county raga folk, a taste of latter day deltadelica thats a must for fans of the acid folk sound old and new. Together, Estribou and Pickens each cut a side of brilliant, meandering unaccompanied instrumentals: Estribou on acoustic guitar and Pickens on banjo. This single document has only ripened with age and should make it clear to anyone who ventures to give it a listen that both Estribou & Pickens deserve their place in the inner sanctum of charismatic acoustic guitar legends. Originally released on Henry Jacobs MEA label." - Locust |

Artist: ET CETERA Title: Et Cetera Format: CD Label: Long Hair Country: Germany Price: $25.00 |
| "Heavy, crazy and amazing Wolfgang Dauner album, reissued for the first time ever. "First ever released on CD, Et Ceteras eponymous album (1980 reissue on Brain titled Lady Blue), originally released in 1971 on Global is an extraordinary album of weirdly trippy fusion that rides somewhere between instrumental Amon Düül II, Embryo and Dauners own earlier classic Output. Full of ethnic (Arabic and Indian) spice with lots of the ethnic color added by legendary guitar and sitar (et. al.) player Sigi Schwab (Embryo), odd keyboard sounds by Wolfgang Dauner, dreamy bass patterns by Eberhard Weber and driving percussions by Fred Braceful and Roland Wittich, this is spacy, crazy, Krautrock and -- a bit jazzy. Alan and Steven Freeman (The Crack In The Cosmic Egg) present this album in their The Krautrock Top 100. Maybe the album was originally planned as a double-LP because there are three more titles from the same recording session, which really knock you out. Kabul is a killer, especially because of Schwabs exploding electric guitar and Webers driving bass. Tau Ceti is a wonderfully dreamy delight presenting Schwabs gorgeous acoustic guitar playing. Last but not least, the bonus track Behind The Stage connects Schwabs special electric guitar with the bands atmospheric but rhythmic fundamental playing. This album will be a masterpiece for all time. Its unique. Digitally remastered from the original master tapes. The sound is brilliant. CD comes with informative booklet." Includes 3 bonus tracks." -Long Hair |

Artist: ETANT DONNES Title: Tapes 1977-1983 Format: 6LP BOX/DVD Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $175.00 |
| "6LP leather box with DVD. "The box provides all of Etant Donnes avant-garde tapes released between 1977 and 1983 on the famous French BainTotal-Label Recordings including: La Vue, Lopposition, Letoile Au Front, Ceux Quon Aime - Ce Que Je Hais, Cinq Portes Soudees, Les Cents Jours Clairs. The release also contains a DVD with live performances of Etant Donnes over the last three decades. The music of this Etant Donnés first period (1977-1983) boxset describes a rite of passage from mortality to divinity, a powerful but hidden passion craving beauty and burning love that can be conquered only by another form of secret pain, that of losing yourself in the cosmos and becoming part of the muddy streams of distant stars. Their soundworks are constructed through the manipulation of natural sounds, using the variation of velocity and intensity of the recordings, the cutting and splicing of tape. Etant Donnes compositions are passionate and brutally communicative, their music and words are minimalist just like the writings and chants of the religious mystics Sufi, trying to recover the virginity of the words and sounds, they map new territories and establish their own personal rules. These first tracks contains all the brutal collages of found sounds investigating nuances of sounds that at times verges upon silence, the inspired and enraptured meeting with earths natural forces, an homage to the shadow of night, to the vineyard and the golden door. In these first six LPs Etant Donnés create their own brand of total audio expression using belches and punches, their attention is concentrated on the symphonic cacophonie organisation of disorganized found sounds, using magical rhythms only directed by cosmic rules. A perfect way of organizing natural sounds that obeys fundamental principles that everyone wishes to convey, a music able to tear down walls and build a universal comprehension, a cosmic law of beauty, a magical and alchemical act of poetry." - Vinyl-On-Demand |

| "After the dark conceptual ambience of Beyond the 4th Door, the members of Eternal Tapestry decided the time was right to do an album embracing their live show - blistering psych rock filled with lyrical guitar soloing and a caveman approach to rhythm, an oddly euphoric state where melancholia is blasted by ecstatic noise. Compiled from a variety of sessions at Tapestry Space throughout the spring of 2011 (some of this material first found a home on the two fall tour tapes), this set of songs has been the foundation for the past year of Eternal Tapestry gigs." -Thrill Jockey. |

While this trio first turned heads with their expansive psych/kraut/blues guitar explorations as embodied within a series of small run cassette and CDR releases, their 2007 Mystic Induction album on Not Not Fun firmly established the band as formidable players worthy of sharing the stage and spotlight with such current heads as Wooden Shjips and Kinski. Palace of the Night Skies ups the ante and represents this groups heaviest jams to date, bringing forth some heavily righteous riffs and plenty of drum punishment.

After a brief discussion of mood, the six musicians improvised together for 45 minutes continuously. The music is heard as played that evening - no overdubs, and only a few edits to create a four section suite for the LP release. The piece is titled Night Gallery, in homage to the surreal early 1970s TV show produced by Rod Serling of Twilight Zone fame.

"Among the legions of bands weve worked with that have died natural (or unnatural) deaths, MYTHICAL BEAST was a particularly lament-worthy casualty. Fortunately phoenixes rise, creative energies get repurposed and reharnessed, and whats gone is not always lost. So it is that singer/kettle drummer CORINNE SWEENEY and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist JEREMIAH COWLIN abandoned Philly for the Nowheresville of Coyote, New Mexico to live off the grid with other address-less culture renegades and be reborn as post-apocalyptic grunge-drone doom-soul duo ETHER ISLAND. A Side opener "Season Of Risk" corrals a mud-flood of thick tectonic shred over a buried beat, Sweeneys vox tearing through in hot red flashes like a prairie flash fire (tonally, its total 4-Track Demos-era PJ, raw and sensual). "Be Light" vibrates more vertically, rising like a smoke signal, a threatening cloud of raga strings and delay-stretched witch-blues vox. "Black Wind Way" deathmarches across the entirety of the B, plodding like a dying mule over parched plains, tremolo guitar hatcheting down, a single funereal organ melody threading over the sands and into the silence. Three singular statements from two old favorites on this one perfect nomad-psych slab. Black vinyl 7 inches in color-photocopied covers, with art/design by EL. Edition of 325." -Not Not Fun.

Artist: ETTINGER, DYLAN Title: Lifetime Of Romance Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Heartland synthesist Dylan Ettinger follows up 2010s widely lauded New Age Outlaws imaginary cyber-soundtrack with a stark, dark, and intensely different collection of misshapen new wave weirdnesses, Lifetime Of Romance. Recorded at a proper studio, and written over the course of a year, the seven songs of Romance reflect a heavy influence from the fringier strains of bummed out quasi-industrial synth-pop in the vein of Fad Gadget, certain Cabaret Voltaire, early Human League, etc, but dragged through his own warped, wonky filter. The approaches vary radically, from abandoned factory dirges (Sport And Superstion, Maude) to dubbed-out man-machine paranoia (Disparager) to bouncy sine-wave robot radio singles (Arco Iris, Blue and Blue) and general electronic workshop exploration (18.0). Its always to be heralded when an artist braves terrain they havent traversed yet, so its a kick to hear Ettingers secret circuitry language channeled into the pop architectures of twisted synth-wave melancholia for the first time. Another engaging step by an always intriguing American original." -Not Not Fun. |

Sounded like a worthwhile cause to us, so heres New Age Outlaws: The Directors Cut, mastered fresh for vinyl and bedazzled with new layers of robot noir synth lines, back alley cyber sax, and insomniac drum machine heartbeats.

| "Prepare for sudden death. San Francisco brutalizers Ettrick finally deliver the full-length destruction theyve been threatening for so long now. Feeders of Ravens is definitely the most potent collection of harsh jazz violence the duos ever laid to tape, showcasing all their classic kill-moves: slaughtering saxophone dialogues, jittery percussive fits, raging horn/drum self-annihilation, etc. What escalates their improv attacks above just blind frenzy is the warped telepathy Jacob Heule and Jay Korber exhibit in their playing, wordlessly intuiting one anothers energy upswings and downturns. And nowhere is this psychic connection more apparent (and demonic) than on "Raven Harvest, the LPs final onslaught. Searing sax blasts burn through the ear drum, giving way to splatter paint percussion flailings and scraping metal, which then slowly take shape, coagulating into a dense, aggressive avalanche of pummeling, white-hot drum rapture. Life into death into life. Black LPs in pro-printed jackets with majestically sinuous, Haida-style cover art (and memento mori raven back art). Limited to 350." -Not Not Fun. |

Artist: EUBANK, JEFF Title: A Street Called Straight Format: LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Welcome to A Street Called Straight, where the sounds echo from a time so long ago...well, it was like another lifetime ago. The street on which JEFF EUBANK lived was already slipping away when this album was released in 1983. Those golden-hued "good vibes" from the 60s and 70s seemed much more finite in the early days of the 1980s, encroached upon by the creeping darkness of changing times. A Street Called Straight was a cry into the darkness-man can live and flourish. A Street Called Straight is a beautiful slice of second-wave album oriented rock, unfolding a series of peaceful, easy feelings, articulated with carefully crafted music and lyrics. How is it that a landlocked creature could come up with such beachy sounds, such cheerfully extraterrestrial visions? Jeff Eubank channeled the sunshine and moonlight of southern California via Kansas City, Missouri. Hed been playing music since the mid-70s and had finally gone out to LA and played music there before returning to lay his songs down in familiar lower-midwestern stomping grounds where studio rates were cheaper. You hear what you hear in the music. Some of the names that listeners have been so far reminded of include Fred Neil, Al Stewart, David Crosby, Kenny Rankin and a fellow traveler of the early 80s private press highway, Bobb Trimble.

Jenkins (of Ghosting, Portland Bike Ensemble) layers acoustic guitars in a psychedelic, personal style thats more intuitive and exploratory than technically inclined.

Herne, manning the producers chair (a role he would later repeat for The Shaggs Philosophy Of The World LP), created a bad trip spiked with backwards tape effects, darkly-phrased vocals, all instruments set to pummel and an album title certainly eligible for the truth in advertising award!

Artist: EUROPA Title: La Ultima Emocion Format: LP Label: Dark Entries Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Europa was a short-lived synthpop group from Valencia, Spain formed in 1980 by Julio “Nexus” Pastor (synthesizers), Alfonso Aguado (vocals, guitar), Lino Oviaño (vocals, drum machine), and José Luis Macias (synthesizers). The quartet championed the use of synthesizers, drum machines and other polyphonic gadgets in a city that was stuck in the throws of progressive rock. They recorded and released their only album La Última Emoción in 1981 on cassette, released by DAI (Division Avanzada Independiente) a label interested in bands “capable of building electronic sounds from drum machines, sequencers, synths and effects, rather than conventional instruments like guitars and basses.” The original issue of La Última Emoción was a single-sided cassette and limited to 500 copies. The band mixed all the tracks at their home studio using a Roland Juno 60, Casiotone 202, Korg Polysix, MS-20, MS-10 and the KR-55 drum machine. As part of the Spanish Techno-pop movement of the 1980s, Europas songs featured arpeggiated synthesizers and upbeat drum machines that flashback to the sound of Vince Clarkes Depeche Mode days. Comparisons could be made to other Spanish Techno-pop bands like Aviador Dro, Vocoder or Metal y Ca but Europa weaved a unique style of driving, energetic rhythms, bouncy keyboards and soaring vocals perfect for dancing or speeding into outer space. Shorty after their debut release the band would switch their name to Última Emoción releasing an EP in 1983 and an album in 1984 before breaking up. Alfonso Aguado went on to front Los Inhumanos, Julio Pastor launched the Valencia techno bands Megabeat and Interfront, while José Luis Macias and Lino Oviaño formed Comité Cisne. In 2010 the original Europa line-up reformed to play a few select live shows celebrating the re-issue of their 1984 cassette Máquinas Románticas on Turia Records of Spain. Their sound remains clean, rhythmic and futuristically strange, transporting crowds to another dimension. All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley for vinyl. Each LP includes an 8-page booklet originally housed in the 1981 cassette long-box complete with bi-lingual liner notes, lyrics and photos. 30 years later the futuristic sounds of Europa are ready to usher in another new wave." - Dark Entries. |

Each side of this LP features a solo acoustic trumpet track by each musician. While Evans and Wooley have recorded together in duo previously and work in similar terrains, each work here pushes solo trumpet in radically different directions. Peter Evans solo equally displays stamina and sensitivity in this casual improvisation, while Wooley creates layers of sound and dramatic cuts, toying with the recording medium itself.

Some of the members of this London-based recording commune included vocalist Freya Hogue (ex-Sunforest), guitar player Lucinha Turnbull (later with Cilibrinas Do Eden/Rita Lee), and bass player Arnaldo "Liminha" Filho (Os Mutantes) among others. Either/Or is a perfectly played and professionally recorded album (something very unusual for a private pressing). Top-notch psychedelic folk-rock/acid-folk with male-female vocals, flute, electric-acoustic guitars, bass, drums and some freaky/weird arrangements/effects. The album is now also famous for including "A Gay Song," which is probably the earliest known example of a pro-open gay song. The original pressing of 1,000 copies was never distributed or sold at stores, all the copies were given away for free (even to people passing on the street!). One of the members even buried a large number of them in a time capsule in the Amazon rainforest. Needless to say, the original album has been a highly sought-after artifact since the early days of obscure psych-prog record-collecting. This reissue reproduces the original embossed cover and includes repros of the two rare inserts, including the giant fold-out poster with new liner notes and info printed in the reverse. Also included is a repro of the Save Piccadilly 7" single released in 1972, featuring a non-album track: "The Circus Keeps on Turning." Remastered sound from the original master tapes. Limited release of 500 copies only." -Guerssen. |

However, side two is a reversed version of side one -- causing the listener to start smoking, gain weight, lose money, retard your ESP powers, get demoted, and so on... a manic depressive album, if ever there was one." - Evolution Control Committee.

On their second effort, Ex-Cocaine throw down hard, evoking a gnarled bonfire with flames that roar thunderously like the detuned, rockist clang of Dead Cs Harsh 70s Reality, and burns evenly like the smelted, Rust Belt psychedelia of Stone Harbours Emerges.

Excepter deliver two long dance tracks in a synthetic protest style, mapping the flipside of the sublimated global war machine inherent in the industrial food exploitation in the twin hubs of New York music subculture. Side A is a group groove on the cannibalistic struggle between capital and labor (ambition and drudgery) reproduced nightly on the Williamsburg gluttony scene. Side B is a techno imagining of the imperial threat of the comic strip girl on the Lower East Side as told from the point of view of the microwave ovens of a Sikh taxi stand.

Artist: EXCEPTER Title: Frkwys Vol. 2 Format: 12" Label: Rvng International Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "RVNG is proud to announce a new 12" series entitled FRKWYS. A play on the name of the legendary Folkways record label founded by Moses Asch in the late 40s to document sound and movement in music from around the world, our FRKWYS (think Freakways) 12" series pairs contemporary artists and their progenitors by way of remix, reinterpretation, and original collaboration. Like the Folkways releases, each installment in RVNGs FRKWYS series lives under a thematic banner (albeit sometimes loose) and explores a different facet of electronic music. The first release in the series features collaborations from NYC avant-pranksters Excepter with Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey, and JG Thirwell of Foetus and his many alter egos. The result of this premiere series edition is a new and entirely relevant industrial revolution. Chris & Cosey draw from their early output (Heartbeat, Trance) and turn Excepters Shots Ring into a whip smart primitive techno mix while JG Thirwell orchestrates Stretch as a wildly percussive, brassy acid track. We are housing these limited edition 12"s (900 copies / pressing) in a classic package using heavy stock jackets applied in leatherette and tip on adhesives, creating a truly substantial and archival feel. You have to see / hear this record to believe it." -RVNG International |

Perhaps more in spirit than in its realized form, but if that sounds like a joke, stop reading. New Yorks most amorphous five-necked entity (which includes Other Musics own Dan Hougland) have never been strangers to taking the longer, more undulating gravel road, as evidenced by the stretched out subterranean sermons on last years Ka album. On Self Destruction , Excepter crawl out of the cellar and into the warehouse. This is a house record. If Xenakis had made one. It is throbbing mental machine music that (much like the quintets live shows) appears to detour, but often climaxes with the religious fervor of a Wicker Man/Moodymann ritual. Definitely more Black Mahogani than Black Dice. Excepter just traveled all over New Weird America, and torched it in the process. Incendiary." - AK, Other Music. |

Artist: EXCEPTER Title: Throne Format: CD Label: Load Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "Like a group groped Helen Keller all too drugged out to protest, the New York City based EXCEPTER weaves a dangerous course through the orange cones of cortex caressing sound. Drawing from boom-box emitters as disparate as CHROME, COMUS, and that weird-ass Indian techno music you heard eating that Somoza. Frequently lumped in with bands in their zip code like GANG GANG DANCE, SIGHTINGS, and ANIMAL COLLECTIVE and the NO NECK BLUES BAND, they are actually much more of a confrontational question mark. Lots of floor crawling stage exclamations make the band more slippery than a greased watermelon. With a lineup jamming out unclear instrumention but perhaps including detritus of Casios, battery needin samplers, six string part catalogs and occasional percussion, they manage to craft a deeply and creepily eerie sound that includes sounds from all over the radio dial. One could easily relax to this record and have ones heart forget to stop beating. Two of the songs on the record, "Jrone (Two)" and "Jrone (Three)" are on the "KA" record, but in extremely mutilated formats due to reworkings to the point that they lie naked and throbbing like a gum wrapper in Gitmo Base." - Load. |

Artist: EXCEPTER Title: Vacation/"Forget Me" Format: LP Label: Fusetron Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "Even though it would be wrong not to consider these protest songs against the back porch policies of certain undisclosed and secure locations, we shouldn⿿t let THEM come between us. EXCEPTER says, "Yeah, well play" ... freestyle, the crawl, the butterfly, the breast, the rest. "How long will you stay?" Just as expressions and intuitions reflect the oceans unleashed, there is no desert island, dig, just the big, bare teeth of EXCEPTER there, smiling beneath. "You forgot something?" To survive the coming weather, you are going to need to know a sailor, a captain, an engineer, a figurehead, as well as a pirate, so SHOW ... A continuous stream of music split into two sides. Performed and mixed live to stereo. SS EXCEPTER:"Were only a world away." - Excepter. "For the second time in a row now, one of Brooklyns grandest experimental entourages have presented us with a sonic totem whose jaunty and bright packaging belie an almost certain palpable sense of unease. This new twelve-inch is entitled "Vacation", and here Excepter have perhaps crafted a treatise on nothing less than the uncomfortable aspects of having to leave oneshome. Or they may well have been channeling the soundtrack to a particularly bizarre road trip I once went on involving an Indian burial ground, a cross eyed woman Xeroxing chain letters at a supermarket, and an extremely sadistic alligator farm outside of Hot Springs, Arkansas where I witnessed a stuffed Fiji Merman. Unease indeed. But of course, like on any worthy and good vacation, once youve become used to new unsettling sensations like foot blisters and sunburn you realize how sublime the landscape is. And sublimity is what Excepter trades in spades. Side-one positions the moment where you have trouble getting your bearings, trouble putting your surroundings into perspective. The rhythms are all displaced, their center of gravity slackened by synths squiggling all willy-nilly looking for something to latch onto. Side-two, "Forget Me," is where everything comes into focus -- like a photograph that you can spend some time with to chart your inner progress. This track could be Excepters pop moment, their breezy road trip down the Autobahn (and here the Kraut reference is especially apt). Pistons fired, these beats are allowed to lope carefree into the coming summers new season of discontent. Ex-ceptional." - Michael Klausman; Other Music. |

Artist: EXCEPTER Title: Zion Format: Cass Label: Skrotup Country: Denmark Price: $7.00 |
| "A 60 minute live set recorded in New York City in February 2009, Zion is like New Age music in reverse. From the esoteric voices and the synth vamping, to the machine-like rhythms and pleasant electronic chirping, the result is an increasing tension as new luscious layers are added to the improvised symphony. Comparable to a smooth-voiced shrink with a sadistic streak, the hour-long set makes you relax and open up, while at the same time messing with your head space on a subliminal level, leaving you in a marvellous state of unease. Edition of 100 incl. proof of purchase and fold out, full-color j-card." - Skrotup. |

Founded in 2002 with the stated intent to use the tools of dance music towards esoteric ends, Excepter was behind many of the classic recordings associated with the 00s Brooklyn Noise phenomenon.

Artist: EXIAS-J Title: Live Document 2003-2005 Format: DVD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $25.00 |
| "Free improvisation may have provided the original touch-paper for Exias-Js inception as a group, but by the time of the performances documented on this DVD we had gradually begun to move beyond it as a category. For instance, we began to incorporate deliberate internal structures in the form of compositional techniques such as minimalism, twelve-tone or atonalism, and we started to interrogate musical forms such as the sonata or ostinato. Or else in performance, we adopted approaches such as reliance upon a restricted number of modes, variations on a particular theme, extended instrumental technique, and forms of expression based on (non-harmonically structured) sound images themselves. In order to construct these phenomenological relationships, multiple techniques have been employed here, however, they appear to be completely subordinated to receptive function of the viewer and the creative function of the musicians. I believe that this is something of which we can be justifiably proud. Since music relies upon these phenomenological relationships as its medium, I never like to make light of the methods by which modes and phenomena can be generalized, however, I have no desire to turn a method into a goal. --Kondo Hideaki. Third release on PSF by Exias-J (Experimental Improvisors Association of Japan), Japans most conceptually-determined improvising collective and their first DVD. Containing three performances from Tokyo and New York, this is a challenging clash of methodologies and sonorities, hugely exciting in its electric power and formal heft. 142 minutes, region free, NTSC format, 4:3." -PSF. |

Artist: EXIAS-J & SABU TOYOZUMI Title: Sons Scapegoat Format: CD Label: Siwa Country: USA Price: $13.50 |
| "A March 2005 meeting of EXIAS-J (EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVISERS ASSOCIATION OF JAPAN) and drummer SABU TOYOZUMI. Since the late 90s EXIAS-J have been conjoining the worlds of free music and modern composition by employing free improvisation in variously structured approaches ranging from jazz and rock rooted forms to avant-classical and performance art settings. Sabu Toyozumi is a true giant of Japanese free music with a history running from his involvement with Masayuki Takayanagis New Direction Unit in the late 60s through his work with Kaoru Abe , Peter Brötzmann, Takashi Mizutani (Rallizes Denudes), Keiji Haino and a veritable whos who of internationally known improvisers. There is a sonic clarity to this new studio recording that might help elucidate the underlying musical structure on the two previous live Electric Conception recordings (available on PSF). That said, with one stated goal being the disruption of the hierarchies of instrumentation through the application of electro-acoustics this frequently creates a dense, shifting sonic mass that should make even ardent noise fans feel quite at home. Edition of 500 copies packaged in screen printed gatefold covers." - SIWA. |

Artist: EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS Title: Prototype -- Plus Garage Tracks Format: Double LP Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $41.00 |
|
"A 12" vinyl, double record set containing the music of Experimental Products. If you are a long time collector of 80s indie minimal synth looking to fill out your catalog or a novice interested in starting one up, there is no better place to start than with Experimental Products. A synth duo from Philadelphia/northern Delaware USA, members Mark Wilde and Michael Gross produced 8-track gear recordings, then had their music pressed to vinyl. In 1984 they released the 3 song 12" EP Glowing in the Dark, 2000 copies. Glowing proved irresistible to DJs and became a 1985 dance club chart breakthrough. Today, many DJs and collectors consider it a classic synth record. 2 years before Glowing they released a 10 song vinyl LP titled Prototype, 300 copies. Prototype remained an obscure record until minimal synth collectors caught wind of it in the late 90s. Prototype became a high priced bidding item whenever the rare vinyl showed up on e-Bay. It seems Experimental Products had again produced what many collectors consider a classic 80s minimal synth record. VOD is now pleased to announce the reissue of Prototype to high quality vinyl. Re-mastered by VOD from the original 1/4" master tapes, this reissue has improved sonic quality not found on the original 1982 pressings. Own it now, experience it for yourself. Prototype will be LP-1 side A+B of the VOD double record set. Garage Tracks, LP-2 of the Experimental Products record set will hopefully become yet another classic piece of synthesizer vinyl. A garage track is described by M. Gross as a primitive to semi-pro sound recording not necessarily intended for public distribution. Originally intended or not, VOD now offer them to the synth loving public. Garage Tracks side-A contains 5 unreleased songs from 1985, all synth-drum machine, again produced with 8-track gear this time in a band spare bedroom. Anyone familiar with the band can expect more Experimental Products brilliance. Garage Tracks side-B contains six songs from a 1983 live performance. There are live versions of 4 songs from Prototype, an unreleased song, and the song Mannequin from the Glowing EP." - VOD. SOLD OUT

Artist: EXPLODE INTO COLORS Title: Paper Format: 7" Label: Just For The Hell Of It Country: USA Price: $7.50 |
| "A limited one time pressing of two new anthems from this epic Portland 3 piece. With a special embossed all-white sleeve, and full color art insert by Adee Roberson. This record completes the trilogy of 2009s uniform 7"s, the others by Mladys and Kill Rock Stars." "...this Northwest all-girl three-piece builds their songs like prickly, droning Jenga towers on a sturdy base of steady drums. The other instruments may make the tower wobble as they lay down off-kilter bursts of singing or a lopsided riff, but the even, tribal percussion keeps everything righted...the rhythmic heaviness is so pervasive that even Claudia Mezas singing is percussive...EICs Lisa Schonberg is proof positive that women can be kick-ass drummers." - Pitchfork. |

"Bermuda Telepaths is the latest title lifted out of the fruit-and-photocopy-strewn Outer Limits Recordings archive and into the ears of the world at large. Recorded under the never-again-used Explorers moniker and first edited into album form about a year ago, this hallucinatory patchwork trip into the ether synthesizes all of OLRs deepest loves -- boombox fidelity, quick cuts, keyboard loop sorcery, underwater pop, general mind surfing -- into a humbly hypnotic whirlpool of energies. Apparently there was a concept/thesis behind the albums genesis somehow involving psychic powers, lizard people, and the Bermuda Triangle, but the details are hazy. Which befits the audio in question. Read your palm. Take a walk in your thoughts. Explore away. Black vinyl LPs in jackets with artwork designed by the artist, plus a copy shop poem insert.

Immune is now proud to present the follow-up album Journey Through Astral Projection, further cementing the fact that Wrights work captures a true spirit of free thinking and creates tranquil moods and vast landscapes in audio fidelity.

Artist: EXTINCT Title: Extinct Format: 3" CDR Label: JYRK Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "We received an anonymous package containing this recording along with an image and a note. The three pieces in this suite were created by processing live radiocoverage of the 2004 presidential election using computer music software. While to some extent, the use of political media materials as source sounds in a work of radical music could be considered pat or outmoded, there was value in this endeavor. The transformative properties of digital signal processing allowed me to uncover the "choral" component inherent in news broadcasts: the anchors form a choir of voices singing in unison, complicit amongst themselves to the authorship whose script they are doomed to read from. The Agency of the newsanchor is limited, or submissive to government and capital, or both. I had concerns that simply processing my radio was not a truly radical platform. That being said, it is an attempt to tear away the fabric of appearances, and some kind of momentary relief was derived from the process. If you dont find this recording sonically or politically persuasive, try using a simple audio processing tool to dissect the media you absorb. You might be more edified by trying the process first-hand." - JYRK. Edition of 50 copies. |

Artist: EYE Title: Black Ice Format: CDR Label: United Fairy Moons Country: New Zealand Price: $10.00 |
| "You need concentration at an Eye gig. But once youve dropped into the low, low, stiff-backed chair that they provide and put on your goggles, things start to happen. Eye are the original Quiet Men with Something Terrifying to say. And there are very few people who exit their shows who arent shaking their heads, glancing sideways, and saying something profound like ...wow... in a half-voice. We at UFM are proud to release this, the first full-length Eye cd, in the year that marks 25 years since percussionist (and these days samplist non-paralleled) Peter Stapleton first pounded the goblin drums on the very first release on legendary NZ imprint Flying Nun, The Pin Groups Coat. That hes now playing some of the best drums of his life, and that this collaboration with guitarist Peter Porteous and turntablist Ryan Cockburn (aka Spit) has all the hallmarks of his truly great groups like the Victor Dimisich Band and the Terminals - i.e. its a band that is truly more than the sum of its parts, and knows it, and exploits it to become an entity in legend and dreaming(well, maybe you need to BE THERE to understand that fully, but still.....) - is something to mark well." - United Fairy Moons. |

EYE are an improvising trio consisting of Dunedins Peter Stapleton (Flies Inside The Sun/Handful of Dust etc) on drums and shortwave radio, Peter Porteous on guitar and Tibetan bowl, and Ryan Cockburn on guitars and turntables. With three sold out releases on NZ labels United Fairy Moons and Metonymic, this release features new material from EYE, and perhaps the only EYE music available at the moment. Noise guitar and turntable journeying, breaking into sporadic "rock" style music, but frequently shattered and readjusted by Stapletons furious drumming. A must for any NZ South Island free noise fans." - CMR.

Artist: EYE SHAKING KINGDOM Title: Heavy Glass Format: Cass Label: Arbor Country: USA Price: $7.50 |
| "Eye Shaking Kingdom is the severely fried, technicolor overdrive duo comprised of Glasgows Nackt Insecten and Alistair Crosbie. Their sole past release, "With Metal and Swordlight" placed their feedback driven drones in a league of their own, though they have still managed to remain below the crossfuzzed radar. These two tracks can be taken as totally overdriven crushing walls of loops, feedback and keys; but intense listening shows luscious keyboards painting the soundscape with all the colors of the lunar rainbow. Totally dynamic flows and heavy clarity streak across the foggy night sky. In an edition of 80 tapes with art, tape labels, and a poster by JKtapes Peter Friel."- Arbor |

Artist: EYES & ARMS OF SMOKE Title: A Religion of Broken Bones Format: LP Label: Cenotaph Audio Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "The landscape of Central Kentucky is dotted with fields, trees and gently rolling hills, watched over by a bright sky. At night, under a thin moon, ghosts emerge from shadowy corners to work the land, pushing fingers into the soil among the roots and stems. In the earliest hours, the patterns of morning light dance with shadow, creating a network of intersecting dark spaces. Eyes and Arms of Smoke, from Nicholasville, Kentucky, conjure music from these hidden places -- music that is delicate and otherworldly. The quartet is comprised of Trevor Tremaine, Ellen Mollé, Sara OKeefe and Robert Beatty playing acoustic guitar, viola, clarinet and synthesizer/percussion, respectively. These instruments are not approached conventionally; eccentric arrangements and oddball tonality paint this music with thunder. The generally quiet temperament emphasizes tension in the compositions -- these songs are hymns to the onset of dusk. Attractive silk- screened artwork on heavy cardstock sleeve. Limited to 500 copies." - Cenotaph Audio. |
