Artist: F/i Title: Blanga Format: CD Label: Lexicon Devil Country: Australia Price: $13.00 |
| "Blanga was originally released in 2005 on Lexicon Devil. Milwaukee space/psych-rock veterans F/i saw original member Richard Franecki (Vocokesh) return to the fold and the results are here to behold. With a string of highly-praised reissues from the band under Lexicons belts, ranging from the years 1983-1991, they figured it was high time to release some of their contemporary recordings. Also returning are Brian Wensing, Grant Richter with Rick Hake and John Frankovic. Most of all, Blanga (apparently an in-joke within the group and something to do with Amon Düül and Hawkwind) rips out some of the most awe-inspiring, trance-inducing and speaker-destroying psychedelic space-rock of the last 25 years. All the crucial pieces are in place: the metronomic drum beats, the Eno/Hawkwindesque synth swirls and, most of all, the overwhelming cloud of fuzzbox guitar distortion coating the proceedings. You get a mere 5 songs in 47 minutes; from the raga-drone of "An Extremely Lovely Girl Dreams of Blanga" to the stunning blips n whirls of the keyboard/sitar track, "Blangas Love Song," right on through to the closer, "Grandfather Blanga and His Band Light It Up," a Flipper-y dirge with one foot on Earth, one on Mars." -Lexicon Devil |

Artist: F/i Title: Paradise Out Here Format: CD Label: Lexicon Devil Country: Australia Price: $13.00 |
| "Reissued by Lexicon Devil in 2006. Originally released on the Human Wrechords label in 1989, Paradise Out Here has long been the most elusive and sought-after recording from Milwaukees space-rock giants, F/i. Having once again gained a substantial cult following after the other F/i reissues Lexicon Devil has released over the last 5 years, the band came back together. The time is right to get the one non-RRRecords LP from the 80s back into the public eye, and since the LP was only released in an edition of 300 copies, therell be plenty who will want to hear this. Recorded between the Why Not? and Blue Star LPs, it captures the band in peak form. The opener, "From Poppy With Love" is one of the bands strongest numbers, a surging collision of 80s punk rock energy dosed in clouds of cosmic guitar fuzz. It slays. The drive of the following two songs, "The House Of The Pharaohs Daughter" and "The Ninth Corner," never lets up until the band sets the controls for the heart of the sun with the nigh-on 20-minutes tribal dirge of "Om 21." The holy combination of amp-destroying guitar noise, anchored, low-end bass, rock-steady drumming and other-worldly synth whoops and bleeps is a beauty to experience. To finish it off, the band has whacked on two bonus tracks, "Satellite Surfer" and "Five Crowns Of The Saxon King," both recorded around the same period, as a taster for the bounties they have sitting around in dusty tape boxes. Paradise Out Here could just be F/is best recorded work, and Lexicon Devil is pleased to get it out once again for a whole new generation of fans. Fully remastered by the band with all new artwork." -Lexicon Devil |

Artist: FABRIC Title: A Sort Of Radiance Format: LP Label: Spectrum Spools Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "Edition of 500. Matthew Mullane is a Chicago multi-instrumentalist performing under the guise of Fabric. Here we have a fine suite of compositions which embark on a voyage through darkness of night and the brightness of day. Washed-out dark colors and static pulses sweep across your stereo painting a portrait of intense yearning and determination. Recorded over the course of a year, Matthew has constructed a multi-dimensional organism of sound that has perplexing depth and astounding detail. The album reveals new shapes and sizes with repeat listens and is truly a work which you can submerge yourself in to get lost. "Leaving The House" is an energetic workout with its dense, ultraviolet fog and stream-like melodies. Then theres the vignettes such as "Orange And Red" or "Containers," that branch out into unfamiliar territory in their own special ways, synthesizing a journey far from home. So far, Fabric releases have appeared in very small editions including a split with Sparkling Wide Pressure and a practically non-existent cassette on Fairchild Tapes. Spectrum Spools is proud to kick off the label by presenting the debut Fabric album. Cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, January 2011." -Spectrum Spools |

Artist: FABULOUS DIAMONDS Title: Commercial Music Format: LP Label: Chapter Music Country: Australia Price: $18.00 |
| "After two albums and an EP without song or record titles, the presence of names on Melbourne duo Fabulous Diamonds third album is probably going to be the first thing that people notice. Its also the most irrelevant. What really matters is that Commercial Music is Fabulous Diamonds most textured, luxurious album yet. While their first record was baby steps and stabs in the dark, and their second album reached for an under-produced liveliness, Commercial Music -- titled with no hint of irony -- is high-brow, young adult contemporary pop music. As with their last album, 2010s Fabulous Diamonds II (CH 077CD), the band recorded with Eddy Current Suppression Ring/Total Control guitarist Mikey Young, this time taking over the upstairs room in Melbournes John Curtin Hotel for four days in mid-2011. Photographic assistance again comes from the inimitable Karl Scullin. But the deep shimmer of "Inverted Vamp" introduces a new, all-enveloping sound, and later "Wandering Eye" and "Lothario" display a newfound ease with canny song construction. Drummer Nisa Venerosa and keyboardist Jarrod Zlatics lyrics deal with cynical social observations and bleak character portraits, but over the billowing music, they take on a dreamy languor that makes them seem almost harmless. And as always, Fabulous Diamonds explore each of their ponderous grooves to its fullest, but now, the weight is lifted by nuanced arrangements and seamless digital production. Commercial Music is both deep and feather-light, the heaviest of transcendental pop." - Chapter Music. |

Artist: FABULOUS DIAMONDS Title: Fabulous Diamonds II Format: CD Label: Chapter Country: Australia Price: $16.00 |
| "This is the second album by Melbourne duo Fabulous Diamonds. This odd duo makes overtly hypnotic music, full of lulling, sensual repetition, but theres also an edge of irritation, an undercurrent of friction that cuts through the drone and propels the songs forward. Fabulous Diamonds II begins with drummer/vocalist Nisa Venerosa yelling at keyboardist Jarrod Zlatic, as he counts in the first track, but they still start together in perfect unison. Its this combination of tension and intuitive understanding that makes Fabulous Diamonds so special. They have been playing and arguing together for more than five years now, and their musical bond has grown deeper and more expansive since their 2008 self-titled debut. That album made it into revered UK mag The Wires top albums of the year, and got glowing reviews from the likes of Pitchfork and The Fader. But this new record is still a remarkable development. Of its five untitled tracks, two extend well past the ten-minute mark, sustaining a kind of grumpy intensity that never lags. The album was recorded with budding producer Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, and was mastered by Quas Cornel Wilczek. Like their first album, it will be released on vinyl by venerable U.S. label Siltbreeze. Fabulous Diamonds toured the U.S. in 2008 with Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit, playing 26 dates in one month. In 2009, they were invited to perform at Belgiums Kraak Festival alongside Wavves, Kurt Vile and others. They also played in the UK, Holland, France, Switzerland, Portugal and Sweden on their 2009 European tour. In Australia, the band have played with Deerhunter, Yeasayer, Akron Family, Beach House, and many more." -Chapter |

Artist: FABULOUS DIAMONDS Title: Fabulous Diamonds II Format: LP Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "The second full-length outing from FABULOUS DIAMONDS is a continuation of the lush and mesmerizing electro / percussive landscapes explored on their self-titled debut LP (released on Siltbreeze in 2008). JARROD ZLATIC and NISA VENEROSA spark lots of musical embers along the way: dub, trance, house, ambient, minimalist, hints of Suicide and Terry Riley-basically everything from Silver Apples to Silver Apples of the Moon. Fabulous Diamonds are equally at home in indie gulags, art galleries or disco gullies. Fans of the more esoteric side of Siltbreeze-Blues Control and US Girls, especially-should be mightily chuffed by the beauteous hypnotic (hypnagogic?) pop Fab Ds are laying down here. Look for the band to tour Europe in mid/late 2010. Includes a free download coupon. Received a 7.4 rating from Pitchfork." -Siltbreeze |

Their one previous release was a 7-inch co-released by Nervous Jerk and Misteltone, and it garnered praise from the Blogosphere and a smattering of airplay on discerning freeform radio stations around the US. This LP on Siltbreeze has been in the works for the better part of a year; its release coincides their first American tour (along with Siltbreeze labelmates, Psychedelic Horseshit)." -Siltbreeze |

It involves the targeted misuse of Rock & even Dance Music instruments and its certain to test the patience of your roommate, lover, or father. Yellow Eyes & The Sound of Vomit is an obtuse, off-putting, though catchy mini-album. These are the types of tunes that will roll around in your empty head and youll recall them, with horror, as you wait for the bus or write a check for rent or when you beg for forgiveness from your boss after your latest fuck-up. This record is the soundtrack to unpleasantness. 305 copies. Covers silk-screened by Neil Burke at Monoroid. Includes mp3 download for Yellow Eyes... + Shitman + the debut FACTORYMEN 45 on My Minds Eye Records." - Richie. |

Artist: FACTRIX Title: Scheintot Format: CD Label: Superior Viaduct Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Arguably the most prescient band of the entire late 70s San Francisco underground, Factrix released just one 7-inch and two pioneering LPs in the early 80s. Formed in 1978 by Cole Palme (one-time member of the LAFMS group Airway) and Bond Bergland (later of Saqqara Dogs), the two initially called themselves Minimal Man and performed a handful of shows along with Patrick Miller (who would go on to have a great solo career under the MM moniker). Soon they enlisted bassist Joseph T. Jacobs (Bay Of Pigs) and emerged from their Mission-district basement with their own unique take on the burgeoning English and New York post-punk scenes. The results were throbbing walls of damaged electronics, grim lyrical musings, droning bass, piercing guitar, and a modified Roland CR-78 played at 1/4 its slowest speed. Factrixs sole studio album, 1981s Scheintot, is a dark, moody, and penetrating work that grows more contemporary every year. Genuinely disturbing at times and often disorientating, it filters the influence of peers such as Cabaret Voltaire and DNA through the sonic and structural sensibilities of The Velvet Underground. An underappreciated masterpiece of the early industrial/No Wave era, Scheintot is a record that compels the listener to lift the needle from the run-out groove and listen again and again. Julian Cope describes it best: Factrixs Scheintot deserves to be experienced several times, preferably in the darkness and in a state of near exhaustion (and/or informed by psychoactive chemicals). CD with 16-page booklet + Empire of Passion b/w Splice of Life single. Liner notes by Julian Cope." -Superior Viaduct. |

Artist: FACTUMS Title: Alien Native Format: LP Label: Siltbreeze Country: US Price: $13.00 |

"FACTUMS are a contempo three-piece hailing outve Seattle who claim to have ties with (i.e. include former members of) A-FRAMES and THE INTELLIGENCE. Originally released as a CD in 2004, Alien Native shows a band burrowed deep in the mystery and menace of the nascent gnarl of experimental art rock. Imagine a record collection consisting solely of The Residents Fingerprince, Chromes Alien Soundtracks, and Cabaret Voltaires Nag Nag Nag. A blast from any of these records could clear a house back in the old days; now they fill it. Fortunately The Factums dont operate on such a binary plane. They are capable of resorting to either option, depending on the time and place. Alien Native is a great swab of past-sounding electro-junkoid rumble absorbed into the mind and matter of present day pre-analog excavators. Limited vinyl-only pressing of 500 copies with hand-screened jackets." - Siltbreeze.

| "Flowers" is the latest full length from Seattles bleak and ominous Factums and is their second for the Sacred Bones label. Recorded between 2006 and 2007 but only now seeing a proper release, "Flowers" is dark and disturbing. The album has twenty two tracks that fluctuate from sound collage to soundtrack-esque moments as well as more structured songwriting. This album also has flashes of abrasive electropunk that has garnered them well-deserved comparisons to Chrome, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and much of the early Wax Trax catalog." -Sacred Bones. |

Just listen to classics like Trout Mask Replica, Double Nickles On The Dime, Lake, Twin Infinitives, Harsh 70s Reality....well, Factums have thrown their hat into the proverbial ring with Gilding The Lilies. This mythic release has been rumored and debated for some time and to say this is their crowing achievement is an understatement. Factums have been shrouded in mystery, rarely playing live -- this hermetic Seattle/Chicago combo have been releasing rustic/futuristic artifacts for a variety of labels over the last few years. On Gilding The Lilies, all the ideas come together: sci-fi surf rock, post-apocalyptic murder ballads, musique concrète anthems, hell, on Gilding The Lilies they even dedicate the latter half of this masterpiece to Far Eastern exotica and incorporate sitars and tablas. Yeah, this aint no Beatles trip, its a Factums take on their inner chakra or pith helmet exploitation or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

| "Three-piece unit FACTUMS and Captcha (HBSP-2x) Records, of Seattle and Chicago, present Roman Soldier, a multi-dimensional sonic experience of cinematic beauty. The first decaying hit of this record sounds like the approach of an apocalyptic army overheard from the inside of an insurgents desolate cave. Suspense builds as the cadence of the piece accelerates, the twists and turns of its theme provoking high anxiety and cold sweats. As tension climaxes and the sonic assault begins to fade, sounds evocative of dazed contemplation suffuse the aural space, creating an impression of crystalline clarity that might be reminiscent of an introspective montage, replaying the last conversation you had with the one you love. In its primal minimalism, calculated chaos and transcendental ambience, this record presents an opportunity to abandon the banality of modern life and lose yourself in the complexities of your imagination. The Roman Soldier EP follows up the exquisite release Flowers on the Sacred Bones label, arriving in advance of the highly anticipated release Gilding the Lilies. This record, featuring an etching on the reverse, is being produced in an edition of 500 copies and will not be repressed." - HBSP-2X |

"One of acoustic musics true innovators and eccentrics, John Fahey was a crucial figure in expanding the boundaries of the acoustic guitar. He drew from blues, Native American music, Indian ragas, experimental dissonance, and pop, and was the first to demonstrate that the finger-picking techniques of traditional country and blues steel-string guitar could be used to express a world of non-traditional musical ideas-harmonies and melodies more readily associated with Bartok, Charles Ives, or the music of India. Fahey played with a fierce imagination and versatility, and while his idiosyncrasy may have limited him to a cult following, it also ensured that his work continues to sound startlingly original." - Table Of The Elements.

For its 10th anniversary, were issuing it on compact disc housed in a deluxe letterpressed jacket and including an extensive booklet collecting John Faheys paintings for the very first time. Limited edition. On this release, Fahey uses heavy reverb, electric slide and feedback to create an eerie mood. He gets a bit of help from Jeff Allman, who recorded the songs and adds some electronic noise in spots, and from Scott Colburn, who mixed the tracks, but this record is all Fahey. The Mill Pond is all over the place stylistically, so it should confuse those who try to pigeonhole Fahey into any one category. The Mill Pond further proves that there is only one category into which he fits: truly innovative guitar genius. Four ecstatic, lo-fi grabs for the ring of eternity, recorded in Faheys Oregon hotel room. Containing the first graspable evidence of Johns throat-singing abilities, this represents the merging of the bull and the china shop. The crudity of the electronics and the delicacy of the stringwork makes for a wonderful match." --Byron Coley |

"Under the motto: Manipulate the world - take care of
the world, Fahlstrom set up a variety of meeting-places in which
participants were invited to take part in an interdisciplinary game
of purposeful discovery. He introduced elements of popular culture
into his work early on and made substantial contributions to a
critical assessment of the medialisation of art. In this, the most
extensive book about Oyvind Fahlstrom to date, Teddy Hultberg charts
the artists predominant lines of creative development and shows how
his cross-genre endeavors were based on a few central ideas:
character forms, signs, games and life materials. The present study
focuses on two innovative and extraordinary compositions for radio:
Birds in Sweden (1963) and The Holy Torsten Nilsson (1966). These
works can be heard on the two accompanying CD records and are also
included here in written form. Some unique and hitherto unpublished
visual and textual material, the result of several years of research
by Teddy Hultberg, is also included in the book." -Fylkingen Records

Decades of avant garde, are homaged together in a sort of harmonic schizophrenia In this unique distillation of (electro) acoustic music, sound collage, spectral folk passages, free improvisation, and an almost orchestral arrangement for violin and strings. Each subject is particularly approached and concurring in the creation of an ancestral form of a blues hybrid. If what you ask from a record is the chance to travel with your imagination, close your eyes and youll be somewhere between Atlantis and Utopia floating in the hold of this ship full of ghosts! Music Composed, performed and edited By John W. Fail. Massive nautical-style silkscreened artwork and inserts by Cavalo Branco. Handnumbered and limited to 300 copies." -8mm |

Artist: FAIL, JOHN W. Title: The Frozen Musics Format: 4 x Cass Box Set Label: Drone Disco Country: USA Price: $14.00 |

"Packaged in a vinyl box, with photocopied booklet and insert. Eight
different projects/collaborations physically separated onto eight
sides of four cassettes, centering around one dude John Fail. Some
will soon know him as one-half of Lied Music (the other half being
Glasgow UK-based young filmmaker Luke Fowler; forthcoming LP on
Cenotaph, and cassette on Rampart); others will know of Fail already
in a variety of contexts and situations (unforgettable -- or perhaps
regrettable!). Just some of the collaborators involved: Robert Beatty
(Three Legged Race), Sara Okeefe (Eyes and Arms of Smoke), Mike
Shiflet (Noumena), Matt Wellins, Matt McDowell (Arco Flute Foundation)
-- anyways, its all explained in the liner notes. The vibe is
consistent throughout, but general styles could range from drones to
sparse sound organization, to some This Meat-esque "rock." - Drone Disco.

Artist: FAIL, JOHN W. Title: The Icewhistle Format: CDR Label: Sharks & Pfennigs Country: UK Price: $8.00 |
| John W. Fail has turned up in a lot of places but on few recordings; this is the first release entirely under his own name, following an 8-project cassette compilation on Dronedisco last year. Most well-known as 1/2 of Lied Music, The Icewhistle finds Fail quietly scraping ghost overtones from his israj (the traditional Bengali instrument heard on Lied Music recordings). In eight minimal tracks, the sounds of air and urban ambiance mix with the israj to create a haunting, suspended soliloquy." - Sharks & Pfennigs. |

Artist: FALL OF SAIGON Title: Untitled EP Format: 12" Label: Dark Entries Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Dark Entires Records is honored to re-issue the debut EP by FALL OF SAIGON. The band was born in 1981 when FLORENCE BERTHON (vocals), PASCAL COMELADE (organ, synthesizer) and THIERRY DEN (guitar, vocals) met at a concert in Montpellier, France. They chose to the name the project Fall Of Saigon after a song by UK post-punk act This Heat. They self-released their debut EP in 1983 citing Nico & The Velvet Underground, Suicide and James Joyce as influences. At the time the band formed, Pascal Comelade was an accomplished musician with instrumental sketches composed for the trio. The 6 songs on the EP were recorded in two stages. "She Leaves Me All Alone" and "On The Beach At Fontana" were sung by Thierry and recorded at Pascals home on a Revox 2-track in one shot. The four songs sung by Florence-"Visions", "Blue Eyes", "So Long" and "The Swimmer"-were recorded and mixed at the Montpellier Languedoc Video Animation Center by Jean Alain Sidi on two ReVox A77 reel to reels and a small mixer. On "Visions," "Blue Eyes" and "So Long," the group employed a drum machine that could only play four or five rhythms with a single slider to increase or decrease the tempo. The songs were minimal: verse, chorus, no bridge, no intro. Built on a simple spine, they create a feeling of space with just a voice and an organ or synthesizer melody. Full of class and inventiveness, Fall Of Saigon are often compared to Young Marble Giants due to the fragile, ephemeral quality of the songs. All songs have been remastered for vinyl by GEORGE HORN at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The vinyl comes housed in a full color jacket using the original artwork from the EP and includes an insert with lyrics and photos. Through two years of existence, Fall Of Saigon only released one EP and 30 years later their subtle sound is an essential guidepost in post-punk history." - Dark Entries. |

Artist: FALLEN ANGELS, THE Title: Its A Long Way Down Format: LP Label: Roulette Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "1968 album from the Baltimore psych group. Exact repro, manufactured by Rhino. The opener Poor Old Man is an inspired leadoff track that features a strong west coast influence, both Love & The Doors immediately come to mind, it sports a killer bass riff along with loose, John Densmore style percussion and a myriad of psychedelic effects, about midway in, the whole piece breaks down and singer Jack Bryant does this totally off the wall jazz type scat vocal that completely derails the song, luckily it doesnt last long as the group leap back into the opening riff and its back to the races. A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall is next and it is a dead ringer for Da Capo era Love (both Orange Skies & Que Vida), this track becomes better as it rolls along, it ends with a rush of great harmony vocals. Something You Can Hide In is full tilt psychedelia that features every psychedelic trick in the book with fabulous results, this number reminds me a great deal of Loves underrated Four Sail album." -Head Heritage |

Artist: FALSINI, FRANCO Title: Cold Nose Format: LP Label: Spectrum Spools Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "Franco Falsini is an Italian musician and producer perhaps best known for his work with his space/prog-rock group Sensations Fix, who released seminal albums in the 1970s. His music was primarily crafted with impressive guitar technique (proven to be way ahead of his time), various synthesizers, and unorthodox recording methods to churn out beautiful experimental psychedelic sounds. Cold Nose was his debut solo outing, originally released on Polydor in 1975 as a soundtrack to a film that has never been widely released and has only been seen by very few people. Falsini applied many experimental methods to his recording process, including a mechanism borrowed from the Bio-Electronic Meditation Society, which would monitor his brain activity in the studio. Only when his brain would produce Alpha/Theta waves would he begin to write and commit his music to tape. Composed in three suites of spiraling and kaleidoscopic proto-ambient psychedelic rock, Falsini had created a masterpiece that today stands as one of the all-time treasures of the Italian progressive music scene of the 1970s. Throughout the recording, we are treated to gentle washes of EMS and Minimoog synthesizers laced with floating guitar line melodies that break out into sky-high guitar leads. Cold Nose is a rare and gorgeous organic creation, glowing with colorful pulses and morphing algorithms. Spectrum Spools is pleased to present the first pressing of the album in over 30 years, remastered by Falsini to his specifications from the original tapes and cut to vinyl at Dubplates and Mastering, Berlin. Original record jacket scans by Devon Dagworthy." -Spectrum Spools |

Mega bummed I didnt get to feel their magic live but I ordered that tour disc post-haste. Man, when I got it I was slain. I thought it was their finest work to date so I had to invoke it on vinyl. I tapped into the bands communication network and together we figured this would make a killer double LP, definitely one for the record books. So The Underground sent me a half hour of unreleased musics to fill the vinyl sides to fruition. Holy Hannah was I unprepared for A! How well the new jams mind-melded with the other tracks. And B ⿿ the superb variation of the entire work with paramount peaks and deep arcane valleys. Get it and trip! Limited to 500 copies on black vinyl with full color gatefold jackets." -Weird Forest. |

Unlike other albums where the band focused on Pink Floyd-esque psych ballads, on Parallel World, the influence of German producer/electronic music composer Klaus Schulze is more pronounced, merging prog rock with electronic music to create something rather weird and wonderful. Although Schulze oversaw the production of the album rather than playing on it (which he definitely didnt!), the synth star here is Masanori Takahashi who was later to find new age fame and fortune under the name of Kitaro. This is space rock at its finest and the bands extended compositions attracted favorable comparisons with both Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd, and even at times the vocal style of the Moody Blues. Unfortunately, this was the bands last album, but they went out on a high, achieving the rare feat of appealing to devotees of both Krautrock and electronic psychedelia alike.

Without Kitaro, who by this time had departed to pursue a solo career, the band reverted to its earlier ballad-based sound, this time supported on drums by former Samurai alumnus, Yujin Harada. The expected Pink Floyd influences appear in abundance, although this time the songs are sung partly in English and in Japanese.

Artist: FAR EAST FAMILY BAND Title: The Cave Down To The Earth Format: LP Label: Phoenix Country: UK Price: $23.00 |
| "180 gram LP version. Regarded by many as the first Japanese progressive rock group, the Far East Family Band, whose first album release was under the name Far Out, released "The Cave" Down To The Earth in 1975. Influential in the creation of the bands distinctive psychedelic sound was keyboard player Kitaro, who went on to establish himself as a major new age artist in the 80s. Although the band was often categorized as new age too, their sound was distinctly progressive and often brought comparisons with Tangerine Dream and early Pink Floyd. The ethereal, space-rock quality of the bands music is here in abundance but the centerpiece is without doubt the title track, which starts off in a mellow mood but then becomes a killer guitar jam. For music fans that have yet to discover the delights of 70s Japanese psychedelic rock, "The Cave" Down To The Earth is a fabulous introduction. Housed in a die-cut sleeve with a printed inner sleeve. Includes the original LP insert." -Phoenix |

Artist: FAR OUT Title: Nihonjin Format: LP Label: Phoenix Country: UK Price: $23.00 |
| "Gatefold LP version. Fully-remastered, first-ever vinyl reissue. Prior to metamorphosing into Far East Family Band, Japans Far Out released this sole, space-y, guitar-drenched psychedelic prog album in 1971. Although the Floyd influences are highly apparent, the band produces an original sound which defines its own unique identity rather than being a reflection of the British and American bands that were dominating the genre. Although there is a keyboard-dominated opening, synthesizers are relegated to a supporting role, and their sparse presence is restricted to occasional sound effects. The psychedelic ambiance comes largely from the guitars, electric sitars and intelligent percussion. The original album contained just two single-sided tracks, and the intense guitar soloing, fantastic sound effects, including gongs and howling wind drones, combine to create an album of sparse beauty which effortlessly merges exotic Asian instrumentals with a psych sound occasionally reminiscent of Saucerful Of Secrets. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl." - Phoenix. |

Artist: FAR OUT FANGTOOTH Title: Pure & Disinterested Format: LP Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Existing in the musty shadows of the Philly scene, FAR-OUT FANGTOOTH have built a most unique foundation of sound, mixing early Cramps swamp / garage blackout, nascent Bauhaus post-punk / quasi-goth bleakness as well as an uncanny nod to the witchy, ethereal leather glam of first-generation Blue Oeyster Cult. Their debut LP, Pure & Disinterested, follows a limited-edition 7-inch for local label Ian! Records. In recent months, Far-Out Fangtooth has seen live action on bills with the likes of Times New Viking, Circle Pit, Blank Dogs and R. Stevie Moore. The band intends to launch a full-scale US tour to coincide with the release of Pure & Disinterested, so keep your eyes (and ears) peeled.

Artist: FAR OUT FANGTOOTH Title: Thorns Format: 7" Label: Hozac Country: USA Price: $7.00 |
| "Philadelphias FAR OUT FANGTOOTH have been meddling within their own poisonous cloud of murky, atmospheric noise for a while now, and after a stellar debut LP on Siltbreeze last year, weve cornered their deliriously downtrodden din for a blurry 3-song EP of devastating caliber. Their solidly mid-tempo, gazey gait, braced with gothic flourishes of noise and carefully arranged explosions of angelic harmony are beautifully morose and radiant at the same time, combining the guit-architecture of Sonic Youths early primal scree with Circle Pits squalorous nuances to create a heavenly hypnotic, haunting haze. This is a band that seduces you when your guard is down, only to soar down and rip your heart out of your chest just at the moment when the rising tide of crashing noise hits you at full force, breaking any human down into their simplest parts. A deeply disturbing, yet fulfilling set of tracks that make that dark place in your heart seem like a nice place for a picnic, and a greater sense of anticipation for what Far Out Fangtooth will drudge up next. Edition of 475 copies." - Hozac. |

Of cause there are many good albums from that time who need to be released again, but this album really stands out. We would vote this album by FARM as one of the best US releases on our label right next to jewels like BRIGADE (also from 1971). Killer dual fuzz guitar in every track, fantastic underground rock songs with an Allman Brothers vibe and Canned Heat boogie, speed driven rhythm, with music roots in west coast & blues rock and guitar-propelled numbers ála Santana." -Shadoks.

JW had recently extricated himself from a 10 year marriage and the words from this experience fit the lyrics on the album still. During that time he lived by himself in a 3rd floor apartment in Philadelphia. It was a street with a lot of traffic. Car horns, busses, police sirens, fire engines, screams, and sometimes even gunshots filled the airwaves. For this reason he sealed up the windows and any other openings with sound-proofing foam. This was necessary because his music was recorded in there. JW was the instrumentalist; rhythm guitar, lead guitar, drums, vocals, and bass. However he could not play them all at once, so he purchased a four track simulsync Teac recorder... professional version. This allowed him to record on one track and then play it back and separately record on a second, third, and fourth track. The original tracks were recorded at 15 IPS. A final mix was then made in stereo with yet a fifth overdub, when needed. At that time other effects were limited. It is amazing electric fuzz album full of effects and its a masterpiece such as D.R. Hooker. Extra heavy psychedelic." -Shadoks. |

Artist: FARQUHAR, JW Title: The Formal Female Format: LP Label: Brainblobru Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
"180 gram exact repro reissue of this absolutely insular, deranged private press masterpiece. JW Farquhar recorded this on 4-track alone in his apartment in 1972 after ending a 10-year marriage. The songs are part of a "rock opera" and are "written as an outcry against the materialistic nature of the woman." The result is something you will never put on a mixtape for your girlfriend. "...its a fascinating slice of ambitious, primitively lo-fi private press psych with an extreme lonesome/marginalized edge and some great fuzz and F/X. There are points where he gets into a whole schizophrenic exchange between two characters, one of whom talks in a weird fucked-up cartoon monster style, that almost makes you think of James Ferraros Lamborghini Crystal broadcasts but the rest of the album is just great basement/loner jams with a huge fucking chip on their shoulder, just the way we like em." -Kicktokill

| "Split between Fasenuova (Spain) and Angeldust (USA). Fasenuova is conceived by Ernesto Avelino and Roberto Lobo in year 2006 under the names Hegemonía or Goodbye. Active almost secretly since early 90s, making use of synthesizers and modulators. Dynamic rough waves go along drum-machine generated beats. The lyrics, all of them in spanish bring you to the most bizarre and surrealistic corners of your brain, thru the melodic cricked vocals of frontman Ernesto Avelino. Angeldust is formed by three characters in the greyest warehouse in the american East Coast: Robert Francisco, Nate Davis and Jacob Anodide. Defenitely a noise industrial band has only released cassettes and CDRs up until the dates. Has toured Europe, Spain and the US extensively. They spit out intense feedback, fuzzadelic howls, drum-machine malfunction and string instruments build from different kinds of junk, always accompanied of the gnarliest lyrics. Aggressive and extremely wild. Record cover consists in a disco bag, one ink silk-screened cover with drawing by Robert Francisco.

Co-release w/ Ecstatic Peace. "Maybe its something in the raw cows milk one can so fortuitously
procure here in Western Massachusetts, or maybe its that lysergic
haze of Berkshire foothill emanation, but whatever it may be, it is
most definitely in manifestation as the five-headed rock n noise n
bleet n zzrrp n roll n weirdcore phenomenon known only as FAT WORM
OF ERROR. After more than six years of live gig decimation and
confusion and a smattering of cassettes, cdrs, legit LP releases (on
labels as swank as LOAD and Ultra Eczema), FWOE has become, along with
Noise Nomads and Dinosaur Jr, as one of the most astounding musical
whatsis factors in the Pioneer Valley. It was after being stunned into
melted delight one evening at our local hang (the Flywheel natch) by
the dead battery guitar, silent psycho-killer bass, drums punked
beyond the free thump joy of John Stevens n Drumbo, and the supremely
swinging costume-cuhraziness of the FREEKwency singerwell, we wanted
to do a, ahem, proper LP. Put this genius fringe into the studio
with Justin Pizzoferrato (thats right, the guy who helps engineer J
Mascis and T Moore sides) and capture the delirious magic of FWOE in
their inimitable prime. And we did! And Mark Beyer did the cover art!
And the drummers name is Neil Young! And this LP rules HARD, and if
you happened to be in the same room as the live FWOE this last summer
than you know: Fat Worm of Error has got the coolest moustache in
town. Case closed." - Open Mouth.

these druids change costumes with every song on their scary live shows while 567 different sounds pop out of 456 instruments, they have moustages that are bigger then anyones hairsausage in the antwerpse snorrenclub, and play actually very tight songs! it doesnt sound like they are just nuts, i mean they are nuts, but they also make "tight noise", they stop and start at the same time, like ARAB ON RADAR meets THE RESIDENTS meets DEVO meets BRIAN RURYK meets STEVEN STAPLETON meets LIGHTNING BOLT meets etc.. and at the same time sounding like none of these..
some of these people played in DEERHOOF and CAROLINER and some of these still do a million different side projects such as the great YEAY records label, BROMP TREB (a harch noise hip hop outfit) etc..

Artist: FATHER YOD AND THE SOURCE FAMILY Title: The Source Family Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Format: LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "For at least the last couple decades, the cult around The Source Family cult has enjoyed the music of Ya Ho Wa 13, whose nine albums with Father were a major part of the story. Recorded during an eleven-month span during 1973 and 74, pressed on their own Higher Key label and sold in The Source Restaurant for $10 a piece at that time, these recordings continue to fascinate listeners to this day, and have been reprinted multiple times, including a massive box-set version of the whole catalog made in Japan in the mid-1990s. In 2007, the release of Isis Aquarians book The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13 and The Source Family, opened the doors on the mysterious and influential doings of The Source Family -- and now the Spring of 2013 sees a definitive documentary film on the subject, entitled The Source Family. For the soundtrack to The Source Family documentary, a selection of material was chosen to include the widest variety of Source Family members, showcasing the talents of many not previously showcased. And so, in addition to Ya Ho Wa 13 members Djin, Sunflower and Octavius, we also hear the contributions of Cinderella, Ahom, Aquariana, Anastasia, Rhythm, Horn, Electron, Zoroaster, Vibration, Pythias, Damian, and Zinaru -- as well as the omnipotent Yahowa himself, Father Yod. Their music ranges from soulful to spiritual to shamanistic, with Father fronting the band on journeys through inner and outer psychosis and bliss. These recordings were intended to further the teachings of Yahowa, and while they certainly do so, what the listener is left with some forty years on, aside from a deeply compelling curiosity, is..." -Drag City. |

Artist: FATHER YOD AND THE SOURCE FAMILY Title: The Thought Adjusters - Source Family Jams Circa 1973-1974 Format: Double LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Man, our minds were blown by that God and Hair box. When we were given a chance to work with some of the folks from The Source back in 2008, we just said yeah, lets hear more of that craaazy music. First came the never-before-heard tape from Children of the Sixth Root Race, Songs From the Source. Then, Magnificence in the Memory, a vault-diving expedition by NNCKs Dave Nuss credited to Father Yod and the Source Family. Now in the year 2012, rare energies are at play, and the times are calling for another trip into the deep pile of Source Family song-and-dance music. With The Thought Adjusters, the focus is on extended rhythms created not only by YaHoWha13 but all the family musicians. The focus is on extended rhythms created in support of Father as he made his teachings, with all the jams integrating both aspects; music and wisdom. Musicians on this record include Pythias, Sunflower, Djin, Octavius, Rhythm, Vibration and Zoraster, with backing vocals from Ahom, Aquariana, Cinderella and Anastasia. Truly, a family vibe can be felt in the recordings here, as impromptu teachings from Father are augmented by improvised riffs which blossom into lengthy mindand- soul-excursions, heavy with communal rock and blistering thoughts from the band and Father. After a brief opening sounding of ritual bells, these four sides are filled to the max with five monolithic jams meant to open your head -- which was the goal of everyday life with The Source Family. Notes explaining the physical and philosophical paths of Father Yod are written by Source Family member, scribe and archivist Isis Aquarian, whose collection contains even more photographs and tapes than are included in this package. With a documentary film on The Source Family making the rounds on the festival circuit this year, we anticipate greater desire for revelation -- not just on Fathers whens and wheres and his thirteen wives, but also the beliefs of The Source Family, and how it relates to the rising up of man in the very near future."

An absolute classic of melancholy (borderline morbid) folk-rock that falls somewhere between Pearls Before Swine, Leonard Cohen, and a suicide prevention hotline. Time of the Last Persecution is almost single-mindedly obsessed with end times so its fitting that this brilliant album would be his last release for over 30 years.

Fay has been portrayed as a mysterious figure who somehow created two brilliant albums and then vanished. But as Fay himself has said, It wasnt me who left the music, it was the music business that left me. Tomorrow, Tomorrow And Tomorrow continues Fays tradition of writing thoughtful, life-affirming songs that, this time, benefit from extended studio sessions and input from three equally committed musicians. This disc does not consist of demos, outtakes or alternative versions of previously recorded songs. It was planned and recorded as Fays follow-up to Time Of The Last Persecution." - Durtro/Jnana. |

Artist: FAZZINI, TOM Title: Neck To Neck Format: LP Label: Locust Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "The record was made with the backdrop of recovery - a new place to live and a chance at renewal - quite on the edge, lots of anger and the absurdity of life all swirling around. Remember believing at the time that I would probably have a short life, so that desperation fed into the album. First and last chance to maybe say something on record. It took several months to record and each session was a short burst. Towards the end of the recording a welcome sense of levity crept in, spurred on by the ludicrous Casio pre-sets. That felt good, given the whole Industrial scene, in the broad sense, was a bit earnest and po-faced. The album title came to me from being familiar with a bar called the swan with two necks. I imagined Lyn and myself as two separate swans, damaged, their necks entwined and in my mind that poetically offset the industrial harshness within the grooves. - Tom Fazzini. Neck To Neck is a head scratching slab of warped primitive synth punk cut by a young Tom Fazzini in exile from a madness inducing tenure as a London postal carrier at Paul Dillons Complex studios. Originally released in 1984 on Gordon A. Hopes short lived A-mission label (which also counted releases by Asmus Tietchens & O Yuki Conjugate), Tom Fazzinis combination of minimal synth and brutalist /absurdist industrial songs had more in line with the broader discomforts of the early 80s international tape network, Family Fodder, LAFMS, Flying Lizards and Ralph records than the agit pop that dominated the Leeds music scene at the time. Once an outsider, always an outsider. Features new liner notes by Tom Fazzini & previously unpublished photos. Remastered and pressed up on 180 gram virgin vinyl. One time edition of 500." -Locust |

As half of the Scandinavian female improv quartet, Spunk, they began to adapt their mediums of French horn and voice to multiple formats for musical arrangements. In working for film, installation, studio, and performance they began to evolve their musical process to a compulsive physical act, opposing their classically trained standards. Exposure to distorted live sampling and field recordings allowed Maja and Hild to grab the limit and make it their instrument. Through synched communication and developed improvisation, their project further evolved into their newest release for Asphodel, Blixter Toad. This two disc set is best described as the taxonomic designation of feminine conviction through gadgetry and acoustic archaeology." - Asphodel. |

The group started back in Atlanta Georgia in 1967 as a quartet with two guitars and played true psychedelic sound, recorded at the Record Plant in NYC, and moved to Woodstock (NY). The 10 album tracks contain two arrangements of traditional tunes all others are originals reflecting true electric heavy blues with a strong Hendrix feel, duelling guitar work and an outstanding female voice/vocals/screams...lots of intense stereo effects.

Their debut album, now issued on CD for the first time via Gnomonsong, features simple strummed guitars, delightfully sweet harmonies, lysergic electric guitar, and tribal drumming, with a swirly folk vibe throughout.

All of those prior releases were great but Featureless Ghost were holding onto something special that they have now fully materialized in the form of this LP. Pre-release listens of the vinyl had friends of the band and the label awed by the heavy and deep sound of this record, a true stunner that buries the speakers and space around the sound. A fully realized master work recorded and mastered to perfect specifications; Night-People has never released anything that simply sounds this good. Featureless Ghost set high expectations and surpassed them. Any reference to the aesthetic or influence seems too simple to fully describe what has been accomplished with this release. Synth pop, dark wave, minimal synth, trance, none of it really matters. This is deep eclectic electronic music performed to live midi, hybrid digital and analog perfection. The dual male/female vocal delivery presented on this record shows a high concern for distinctly developed interplay and identity that is perhaps unequaled in contemporary synth pop. Cyber dreams, lost worlds, and dystopian futures seem to be the subject of Featureless Ghosts expression but the music itself couldnt be more solidly realized and perfected. Night-People is so honored to be a part of this release and we hope you end up enjoying it as much as we do." -Night People. |

| "Formed in 1984, feedtime, the legendary Australian band, created a rumble that has carried over the decades like a subterranean fault rupture; a persis¬tent, threatening tectonic shift that has swallowed anyone lucky enough to encounter one of their records. feedtime started out as a WTF project that suddenly coalesced into something quite unlike anything else going: a pounding rhythm section with a hoarse vocalist that swam against the fast-faster-fastest hardcore tides of the time to create a time¬less rock n roll sound that is equal parts psych pound, punk holler, gutter blues, and post-punk noisescape, without ever sacrificing the song to the concept. Neat trick that. Their initial period of intense activity was the mid-80s to the mid-90s. They released a series of records on the Aberrant (OZ), Rough Trade (UK/US), and Amphetamine Rep¬tile (USA) labels. So, in 2011, when S.S. Records was working on bringing feedtime to the US in order to play our tenth anniversary showcase, SS10 (where they ruled), I asked Bruce Aberrant if there was any archival stuff laying around. Bruce snorted a Yes and said that there were reels of it, but none of it had been accessed for years. Over the next six months Bruce went through hours of feedtime sessions, demos, and live tapes, transferring the keepers for S.S. to hear. We culled through dozens of songs ? outtakes from feedtimes great debut album and their even greater follow-up, shov¬el. We also put our ears on demos from the Billy era, as well as live stuff recorded in both a hotel and a hole in the ground. We came across songs that had never seen release in any form (e b g d, garbage scow, girlfriend, etc.), amazing outtakes of old favorites (shovel, fractured, possums, nice, etc), and cover versions that no one out¬side Bruce and the band had heard (Fears I Dont Care About You, Flippers Life). The result is Today is Friday, a 15-song LP, with all previously unreleased recordings. feedtime is a fantastic Australian rock monster as compelling and insistent as the best of their class: Coloured Balls, Venom P. Stinger, Buffalo, Scientists, Saints, Primitive Calculators, Slugfuckers, etc. No hype: feedtime is truly a classic Australian rock & roll band and Today is Friday shows that as clearly as any of their classic albums do." - S-S. |

Artist: FEEHAN, MARK Title: MF Format: LP Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
|
"While our erstwhile maestro is likely to point out personal involvement in Miamis BROKEN TALENT or TRASH MONKEYS as the apex of his twisted musical endeavors, the fact remains that MARK FEEHAN is most likely best remembered as the "other" cold-blooded string-mangler that shredded synapses through the Siltbreeze era of HARRY PUSSY two decades ago. While recent years have seen former bandmate Bill Orcutt reinvent the essence of gut-bucket blues, Feehan whiled away the time building an exact replica of an infamous Confederate submarine (the H.L. Hunley) and traveling the world, submerged. During that tenure nestled in Neptunes realm, he created a masterful album of his own-this very collection bearing his humble monogram. MF is a lively mix of guitar-based compositions steeped in modal harmonics that explode into miasmic, aural waves, transporting emanations of Phil Yost, Magical Power Mako, Michael Chapman and Hans Reichel into the mind stream. Swirling, spacey eddies will open like maelstroms and flood your subconscious, but do not be afraid. That much time under water changes a man. But sometimes its for the best. And MF is a case in point." - Siltbreeze. Limited edition of 350 copies. |

Artist: FEELING OF LOVE Title: OK Judge Revival Format: LP Label: Kill Shaman Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "The newest LP from Metz, Frances FEELING OF LOVE is a blues-wrangling nightmare, full of nods to THE JOHN SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, and French glue-wavers CRASH NORMAL. This newest full-length studio album is an awesome follow up to their first LP and the one-sided 12-inch from last few years. Songs include amazing slide guitar riffs over drum machines, synths and tight rhythm section. This album is a complete reminder of why we have such a fondness for their first few releases and 7-inches; their tracks are driving grooves with a wild blues edge, all followed up with that magical French synthesis that delivers a "cant miss" experience. Awesome cover art, printed sleeves and limited to our usual 500 copies on black vinyl." - Kill Shaman. |

"The Metz Trifecta is complete. First it was The Anals, then A.H. Kraken, and now Sweet Rot is pleased to present a third record from Metz, France, a three-song single from THE FEELING OF LOVE. Just like their previous releases this one features a schizophrenic mix that somehow makes perfect sense. You get one studio-recorded hit and one drum machine fueled jam on the A-side, and an absolutely beautiful, yet fucked, reinterpretation of a Gainsbourg classic on the flip. Pretty cool cover art too. Black vinyl." - Sweet Rot.

Fehlfarben were formed in 1979 from previous members of Mittagspause, D.A.F., S.Y.P.H., Der Plan, and other musicians from the Düsseldorf punk scene. In 1980, they released Monarchie And Alltag (Monarchy And Everyday Life), an album recognized as one of the most important German-language rock records. The single "Ein Jahr (Es Geht Voran)" would be their only hit single, and was, in fact, disliked by the band members themselves, who had initially produced its slick disco groove more in jest than seriousness." -Bureau B |

Artist: FELDMAN MORTON/EARLE BROWN Title: Morton Feldman/Earle Brown Format: LP Label: Doxy Country: Russian Federation Price: $25.00 |
| On 180 gram vinyl. "Finally back in print. This rare Morton Feldman/Earle Brown split LP was originally released in 1962 on the small NY-based Time Records and features Feldmans Durations I-IV on side A and Browns Hodograph I, Music for Violin, Cello and Piano and Music for Cello and Piano on side B. David Tudor is featured on piano throughout. Feldman and Brown, who were both interested in non-traditional systems of notation and improvisation, were very closely aligned with the New York School, a group of avant-garde composers in the 1950s and 60s that included John Cage, David Tudor, and Christian Wolff. These composers applied to music many of the same ideas and experiments that visual artists, like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Robert Rauschenberg, were applying to painting." - Doxy. |

Artist: FELL, MARK Title: UL8 Format: CD Label: Editions Mego Country: Austria Price: $16.00 |
| "Written and recorded in Whitby, York and Rotherham (UK) during summer 2010 by Mark Fell (one-half of the duo snd). Mastered at Dubpates and Mastering Berlin in 2010 by Lupo. Part 1: The Occultation of 3C 273. Using 32 operator frequency modulation synthesis configured in 16 pairs of operator and modulator. Frequency, modulation ratio and amount determined by linear interpolation between two spatial extremes, with further interpolation over variable temporal divisions. Panned at equal positions around the circumference of a circle using high order ambisonics. First implemented for the DVD Attack On Silence (Line Records 2008) and developed for the cassette release Thunder Bollocks with Evol (Alku 2009). The compositions here also feature modified Roland TR707 and Linn kick drum samples. Part 2: Vortex Studies with 2, 4 or 8 channel rectangular waveforms with variable pulse width subject to frequency modulation from synchronized sine functions with variable phase offsets. Initially implemented with synchronized blue light at Algorithm, Glade (Thatcham 2008) with further presentations at Enjoy (Leeds 2008), Centre dArt Santa Mònica, Sónar (Barcelona 2008), Three Pieces For Unattended, Somewhat Attended and Attended Computer (Sheffield 2008), Avoid (Leeds 2009), Three Neurocognitive Approaches To The Formation Of Cross-Modal Objecthood (Rotherham 2009) Sonic Materialities (Sheffield 2010) and as Supersymmetry at Matter-Space-Motion (Elsecar 2010). Here with percussion synthesis. -Editions Mego "This project takes its name from the Celestion UL8 speaker. My older brother bought a pair of these when I was starting comprehensive school, and between his 10cc and Supertramp records, I first encountered very loud electronically-synthesized sound. I soon noticed a pattern emerging in my musical tastes which excluded guitars or drums. Instead, I favored almost exclusively the electronic textures and rhythms of The Human League, Fad Gadget and other synthesizer-based music of that period. I was quite curious about this prejudice and would try to work out why Kraftwerk sounded so much better than a rock band of the time. Since then, my interest was in the texture of synthetic sound -- there was something much more beautiful (and perhaps more emotionally-charged) about a sustained square wave than any guitar solo. Soon, I began to search out and replay sections of music which dropped to a single sound -- these, for some reason, were the best." -Mark Fell |

Artist: FEMS Title: Go to a Party Format: 7" Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $6.50 |
| "Drag City resurrects the fantastic sound of THE FEMS. To do so, they had to travel back to the year 1982, when this single was pressed in some insignificant amount by the band and spread around the country, one copy at a time. The Fems represented early American hardcore punk at a time when speed wasnt necessary in order to punk out and the intersection of angst and humor was a common crossroads for aspirant songwriters. Hence, the barbed humor of "Go To A Party" and "Is It Living?," alongside the primal screaming of "Order." The Fems were a legend in their hometown of Buffalo, presiding over energy-charged crowds with loads of sarcastic banter and making themselves a party favorite in the wide-open early 80s. Their 7-inch EP Go To A Party was recorded with the vocals, drums and bass closest to the mic and the guitar somewhere in the next room-but the low, rumbling sound that resulted is a unique vision from early punk days. For frustrated collectors, its a must-have-but not too many copies have been pressed, as part of our effort to duplicate the original release in every way." - Drag City. |

Artist: FERRARI, BRUNHILD Title: Tranquilles Impatiences Format: LP Label: Alga Marghen Country: Italy Price: $29.00 |
| "Alga Marghen proudly presents the first record edition ever by Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari, a very refined and talented German composer, wife of Luc Ferrari with whom she collaborated for over 40 years in creating some of the most beautiful sound works ever created in the past decades. First there was Et tournent les sons dans la Garrigue that Luc Ferrari composed in 1977 before Exercises dImprovisation in the same year (a previously unreleased work, to be issued on the PLANAM label). These two pieces ...conceived for individual or collective improvisation for any instrument or instrumental group... are based on identical sound elements. Exercises dImprovisation consists of a sequence of 7 separate tapes, while for Et tournent les sons dans la Garrigue Luc Ferrari mixed these tapes into one. Listening to the separate tapes Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari felt the irresistible desire to compose a new piece using ad libitum five of these seven tapes. As she remarked: Impatiences represents for me those high-pitched rhythmic sounds, those imperturbable wriggling interfering with the low rhythms which are falsely quiet, because each of them is submitted to different and contradictory rhythms. I wished these to be perturbing enough to make the physical balance stagger by fractions of seconds. Edition limited to 300 copies, issued by Alga Marghen to celebrate the Oeuvres sonores 3 event conceived in collaboration with the New Media Department of Centre Pompidou and La mason rouge, Fondation Antoine de Galbert in Paris. This LP is the third in the Oeuvres sonores series after the Charlemagne Palestine Sound I LP and Luc Ferrari Danse LP. One-sided release." -Alga Marghen |

Artist: FERRARI, LUC Title: Archives Génétiquement Modifiées/Société II Format: CD Label: Robot Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "Robot Records is honored and pleased to present two historic compositions for the first time on CD by the late, great Luc Ferrari. The programme opens with Archives Génétiquement Modifiées (Genetically Modified Archives), a work for memorized sounds from 2000. This composition (subtitled: Exploitation des Concepts No. 3) was the third in a series of later pieces in which Mr. Ferrari revisited aspects of his early concepts and compositional strategies to create wholly new works. The result here is a very bizarre, sensual, and beautifully-paced electroacoustic work of aural memories and (re)collections created by Mr. Ferrari utilizing sounds from his vast archive of musical activities. After a short intermission, the program continues with a true highlight of Mr. Ferraris early instrumental work entitled Société II from 1967. Subtitled: Et Si Le Piano ÿtait Un Corps De Femme/And If The Piano Were The Body Of A Woman (for 4 soloists and 16 instruments), this composition appeared opposite Presque Rien on the legendary Deutsche Grammophon LP. Société II may be viewed as an erotically-charged piece of musical theater where the soloists compete for the attention of a woman (the piano). This concerto, with its gestures and a fantastic kaleidoscope of styles and color, shows the extravagant qualities of the piano in its harmony, imagination, and brutality. Packaged in a full-color digipak with a 20-page bilingual (French/English) booklet featuring Mr. Ferraris early artwork, notations, and program notes, along with an extensive commentary by Jim ORourke and Jay Sanders. Remastered sound with audio restoration by fellow INA GRM alumnus, Jean Schwarz. A wonderful glimpse into the world of one of the most legendary, unique, and inspiring musical figures of the 20th century." -Robot |

Artist: FERRARI, LUC Title: Didascalies 2 Format: LP Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $16.00 |
| "Vinyl-only release. Performers: Jean-Philippe Collard-Neven (piano); Claude Berset (piano); Vincent Royer (viola). Sub Rosa presents the first release after their Luc Ferrari trilogy. Didascalies 2 is not to be confused with 2007s Didascalies (SR 261CD) -- this is another composition entirely, never published before. "The other day I found a file from 1993, a score for two pianos entitled Revenir à la Note de Départ (trans. Getting Back To The Initial Note). So I decided to turn it into a new composition without changing a single note in it -- it contained very little notes actually, which suited me just fine. So I called it Didascalies 2, in memory of what I had done the previous year: a piece for piano and viola entitled Didascalies Tout Court. That piece was played on two notes, one for the piano and the same one for the viola. It had an obsessive feel. Very, very obsessive!" --Luc Ferrari Upon his last visit to La Chaux-de-Fonds in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, the composer specifically asked for Didascalies 2 to be performed by La Chaux-de-Fonds pianist Claude Berset and Brussels pianist Jean-Philippe Collard-Neven. The performers developed an event around the world premiere of this release -- the last work by Luc Ferrari not yet played in front of an audience. Didascalies 2 was premiered on October 25, 2008 as part of an anti-tribute to Luc Ferrari in La Chaux-de-Fonds in a version for two pianos and viola. Luc stipulated that toward the end of the piece "an instrument comes in (I dont know which one yet). This instrument should be very powerful and be able to sustain a very loud note (I dont know which one yet)." The musicians chose the viola." -Sub Rosa |

Artist: FERRARI, LUC Title: Ephemere I & II Format: CD Label: Alga Marghen Country: Italy Price: $21.00 |
| "Presented here for the first time, ÿphémère I & II (for tape, or to be played with various instruments) are two previously unpublished masterpieces which represent for several reasons a very specific moment in the creative life and catalogue of Luc Ferrari. Even if Luc Ferraris perfect skill in creating some of the most beautiful sonic works ever is now well known to the large audience appreciating his music, the undetermined character marking the two works presented here is quite surprising. Luc Ferrari was tempted in the mid-1970s by the idea of leaving the final realization of these pieces open to the performers intervention (a perspective he decided not to develop in future researches). Exercises dImprovisation, a score conceived in 1977 and unreleased for almost 35 years (first recorded this year by the GOL collective with Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari for an LP to be issued on PLANAM), directly comes from the two works presented here. ÿphémère I (or Lordinateur ça sert à quoin? i.e. Whats the use of computers) is a 27 minute piece for tape only, created in 1974, conceived as a kind of electronic drone superimposed by fragments of multi-language whispered voices that creates the thrilling effect of a sea-like continuum. ÿphémère II (or Lyon 75 after the only recorded realization) is a 51 minute tape piece with guitar improvisation. The electronic repetitive structure reminds some of the most radical works of American composer Terry Riley, while the guitar sounds, first resulting as live manipulated pointillistic impulses, develop into a blues sonority superimposing the tape drone and creating a heavy psychedelic atmosphere of the most sublime kind. The end of this long suite lead us back into more abstract and live-electronic sonorities. This very intense work can be placed in a context between scored music and totally improvised music. First press limited to 500 copies in tri-folded digipack sleeve. Please note: these 2 previously unpublished pieces revealing a hidden part of Luc Ferrari poetics are not included in the INA 10CD boxset. Only available on this CD edition." -Alga Marghen |

Artist: FERRARI, LUC Title: Exercices DImprovisation Format: LP Label: Planam Country: Italy Price: $29.00 |
| "Luc Ferrari conceived this work in 1977 as a sequence of seven individually or collectively improvised exercises for tape and any instrument or group of instruments. Never performed before, Exercices dimprovisation have been released by the GOL collective and issued now on LP by PLANAM. The seven exercises follow each others in a suite of growing intensity where GOL acoustic and electric instruments react to Luc Ferraris tape, lively re-interpreted by Brunhild Ferrari: from a more meditative form, the music turns into free mental spiraling sections to finally culminate in a live musique concrete drama. The tracks were recorded at Ferraris Atelier Post-billig on April 12th and 13th, 2010, a few days before the world premiere performance at La Maison Rouge in Paris. Exercices dimprovisation on one hand presents a new perspective on Ferraris music and on the other pays a panorama-like tribute to his rich and eclectic corpus; somewhere between Tête et Queue du Dragon and Tautologos with a touch of Danses Organiques. GOL was formed in 1988 in Paris by Jean-Marcel Busson, Frédéric Rebotier, Ravi Sharda and Samon Takahashi. On this record GOL play flutes, electric guitar, bass guitar, melodica, janotron, ocarina, nagara, electric guembri, vocoder and message box. This LP is the forth in the gollaboration series after records by GOL with Dumitrescu/Avram, with Charlemagne Palestine and with Charles Hayward of This Heat fame. The front sleeve shows a four colour wild collage by the French artist, film-maker and Ferraris collaborator Jacques Brissot based on photo sessions done by Myriam Tirler, who also shot the back cover and inner sleeve images presenting GOL members and Brunhild Ferrari in Kagel-Exotica-like appearances. The edition limited to 350 copies also includes an insert with the complete score by Luc Ferrari. Please note: this previously unpublished work revealing a hidden part of Luc Ferrari poetics is not included in the INA 10CD boxset. Only available on this LP edition." - Planam. |

Artist: FERRARI, LUC Title: Labyrinthe de Violence/Dance Format: LP Label: Alga Marghen Country: Italy Price: $32.00 |
| "One-sided release. Dance was part of a sound/visual installation called Labyrinthe De Violence. Previously unpublished, this radical experimental work has now been released on LP record in collaboration with the New Media Dept of Centre Pompidou (National Museum of Modern Art) in Paris for Oeuvres sonores 2, a 2-day-event organized by Emanuele Carcano at Beaubourg on April 5th & 6th, 2009. Labyrinthe De Violence was an installation for tape sounds and 2 slide projectors conceived in 1975 by Luc Ferrari. The installation was a visual and sound metaphor of violence within contemporary civilized society. Four different rooms with a central space created the spatial context of this work. The specific environmental sonority (1. Violence; 2. Pollution; 3. Profit; 4. Mechanism / Paysage / Danse) created for each of the four rooms naturally superposed themselves in the central space. Dance was one of those sonorities, minimally constructed using 2 different sounds: a very low electronic drone deeply resonating for the whole duration with, in the end, the accumulation of deconstructed sequences played by Luc Ferrari on an electric organ. Documenting one of Luc Ferraris most beautiful and mysterious sonic works, this LP edition will be the first in a series of Alga Marghen projects presenting a still undiscovered side of the poetical universe of this fundamental composer. This 1-sided LP, issued in an edition limited to 500 copies only." -Alga Marghen |

Artist: FERRARI, LUC Title: Presque Rien Format: Double LP Label: Recollection GRM Country: Austria Price: $31.00 |
| "Recollection GRM presents four musique concrète masterpieces by French electro-acoustic innovator Luc Ferrari -- all of the Presque Riens collected together in one vinyl set for the first time. Presque rien n°1, le lever du jour au bord de la mer (1967-1970): "Following the complete disappearance of abstract sounds, we can regard this piece as a sonic snapshot and the culmination of an evolution. This is a realistic rendering (as faithful as possible) of a fishing village waking up. The first idea of minimalism." Presque rien n°2, ainsi continue la nuit dans ma tête multiple (1977): "Description of a landscape at night that a soundman attempts to define through microphones, but the night surprises the hunter and creeps inside his head. It then becomes a double description: the inner landscape transforms the outer night and by composing it, adds its own reality (a fantasy of reality) or, perhaps, a psychoanalysis of his nightscape..." Presque rien avec filles (1989): "Within paradoxical landscapes, a photographer/composer is hidden while girls are having a sort of picnic on the grass. Without being aware of it, they offer him the spectacle of their intimacy." Presque rien n°4, la remontée du village (1990-1998): "I always hesitated before releasing Presque rien. For instance, it took two years for the first one to come out and things went on this way. The fourth one took nine years of hesitating. But here it is. Perhaps because this is a real presque rien fake where reality and lies mix. This is the ascent into the old town of Ventimiglia." -Luc Ferrari; Produced by Peter Rehberg. Layout: Stephen OMalley.

Artist: FERRARI, LUC Title: Programme Commun Format: LP Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $16.00 |
| "Sub Rosa presents two substantial pieces from electro-acoustic musique concrete innovator Luc Ferrari: "Programme commun pour clavecin et bande magnetique" (1972), performed by Elisabeth Chojnacka, and another previously-unreleased piece that he held dear: "Les emois dAphrodite" (1986/1998), performed by San Franciscos MC Band under his direction. "Programme commun...: Although cheerful, this piece of music asks a serious question: can one separate ones political and artistic concerns, either directly, as a film can allow, or indirectly, as in this music? Mostly though, this music is my way of commemorating the signing, in 1972, of the Programme Commun. Les Emois dAphrodite: From the 1986 version I have retained the character of this piece, a kind of disjointed rock that periodically pops up as Aphrodites dance. I have added harmonic manipulations, or a progression toward disjointed harmony, which is what I currently look for (I have not said which is my current aesthetics). Finally, the introduction of samplers makes it possible to convey the liveliness of time to disjoint tones." -Luc Ferrari |

Artist: FERRARI, LUC & BRUNHILD Title: Programme Commun Format: Double CD Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $19.00 |
| "Sub Rosa presents two volumes of work from French composer Luc Ferrari and his wife and closest collaborator, Brunhild Ferrari. These two volumes are being released together and simultaneously, as a sign of continuation. For Luc Ferrari, this is the first full-length CD to come out after the trilogy Sub Rosa developed with him. What we have here is three substantial pieces: "Programme commun pour clavecin et bande magnetique" (1972), performed by Elisabeth Chonacka, "Didascalies" (1993) performed by Jean-Philippe Collard-Neven, Claude Berset, and Vincent Royer (in 2009) and previously available only on vinyl (note that "Didascalies" and "Didascalies 2" are two different compositions), and another previously-unreleased piece that he held dear, "Les emois dAphrodite" (1986-1998), performed by San Franciscos MC Band under his direction. Sub Rosa is also pleased to release for the first time the solo works of Brunhild Ferrari: "Derivatif" (2008), "Brumes du reveil" (2009) and "Tranquilles Impatiences" (2010), forming a trilogy on reconstruction from a memory that is still quite alive. These works are new bricks in the erection of a liberating oeuvre." -Sub Rosa. |

Artist: FERRARO, JAMES Title: Citrac Format: Double LP Label: Arbor Country: USA Price: $26.00 |
| "The Citrac collection presents one of James Ferraros most cinematic visions; showing his recent mode of soundworld creation in top form. By shying away from pure musical creation and opting towards the organic birth of sonic universes, James finds a new way to tell a story. Evoking vastly imaginative imagery, this 80+ minute suite spanning two LPs, contains the previously released Postremo Techno Mundus Symposium, excerpts and alternative edits from Liquid Metals Alternative Soundtrack to Digital Overdrive, and the all new Digital Tribe. Presenting deep-nightmarish atmospheres of surveillance and captivity on through the rush of the open road; the hypnotic, lo-fi result is one that could only come from Ferraros alien mind, eternally stuck in a 1980s vision of an impossibly archaic future. In an edition of 400 double LPs with full color printed inner-sleeves in pro-printed black and white cardboard sleeves and printed labels by James." - Arbor |

Artist: FERRARO, JAMES Title: Clear Format: LP Label: Holy Mountain Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Clear and Discovery were origianlly released as two companion CDRs by JAMES FERRARO (of the whole SKATERS / LAMBORGHINI CRYSTAL / 90120 / SPLASH / NIRVANA axis) and comprise the August 1974 (Taj-Mahal Travellers) of his discography. Both albums contain absolutely beautiful whirling hall-of-knives-style synth drone that makes one want to reference Klaus Schulze or Bobby Beausoleil. Clear bursts with flam beats and a cluster of melodies muffled like a calliope wrapped in a soggy tarp, while Discovery is comparable to Daft Punks album of the same name but played in reverse at 16 rpm through a boombox in a boiler room. These two records contain the sounds of pulling out with tapping beats of fluid dropped on a soft convertible top (open), much like those fictitious Giorgio Moroder songs for the upcoming Olympics in Atlantis or a reworking of that award-winning song from Revenge of the Nerds-or is it "Wonderwall"-into a theme for a future ski jump at the Great Pyramids.

Artist: FERRARO, JAMES Title: Far Side Virtual Format: LP Label: Hippos In Tanks Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "James Ferraro paints a 21st century still life on his debut album for Hippos In Tanks. The record is called Far Side Virtual. Each song, a melodious reflection of the moment now, comes shrink-wrapped in HD fidelity as glossy as a 2012 Toyota Prius. Ferraros muse is some enigmatic modern metropolis, where the streets are as slick as i-Pads, and where the symphonies ring with Macbook message alerts. Through the steam rising from our latte mocha chinos, he invites us to gaze out at the dreamy disorientation of our digital lives. Imagine a Darius Milhuad-guided tour of 5th Avenue. Imagine a Whole Foods bakery that sells only cakes emblazoned with frosting replicas of Camille Pissarros Haying at Eragny. These are the surreal utopias Ferraro brings to life with sixteen swirly-pop concoctions sure to sell out at the candy stores. So slip in your ear buds, and welcome to Far Side Virtual." - Hippos In Tanks. |

| "In Chameleon Ballet I wanted to create a work of magic that simulates a dream atmosphere of post industrial landscapes, with the waking memory of a romantic alien encounter occurring in the dream. Dedicated to the mystery of night and the magic of dreams -- James Ferraro. Debut limited edition album by this new sci-fi synth project of James Ferraro of The Skaters et al, with 1980s minimal wave moves bisected by the kinda keyboard patterns you mightve found on an Edgar Froese solo album or post-Body Love Klaus Schulze then exploded with barbarous invocations, syruped-vocals and some black drone atmospherics. Or, as the cover art suggests, urban landscapes as visioned by showroom dummies illuminated under 3 am neon. Another killer. -- David Keenan. Remastered and expanded version of the CD-R release on New Age Discs -- this has an additional previously unreleased track. Limited edition of 425 copies.

Artist: FERRARO, JAMES Title: Multitopia Format: LP Label: Olde English Spelling Bee Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "New album from James Ferraro of The Skaters/Lamborghini Crystal et al, the first run ever presented under his own name. Multitopia is our reality system, James writes in the liner notes. A post 9/11 reality technology in between the frames of data reception. A cross wire into new head and necessary evolution upon the impact of the towers. It feels like a major work from James, the first fully-conceived album to go beyond his initial brain-fried 1980s nightmare culture documentation, reconciling both dystopian and utopian mindsets in a vision of Pan as Multitopia. Body modification, the blurring of sexual persona (via cracked images of James on the back with a modified pair of breasts chilling next to an arcade game) and cyborg intelligences are all recurrent tropes in James work but here he explodes them all, with some of the most aggressively nuanced keyboard and drum work of his entire career, kicking off with a full kit sound that sits somewhere between industrial steel drums and chaos pads then building to an evocative peak that then dissolves into wave after wave of fluxing keyboard drone and oddly looped vocal fragments. The gravity of the music is truly omnivorous, devouring drone, punk, new wave, industrial and minimal synth modes and spitting them back out as intensely detailed black and white visions of the future now. James somehow manages to interweave vacuous TV announcements and cheap anchor man quips alongside the lucid, microtone rich keyboard work, situating the whole deal in a virtual, godless netherworld with each track a further descent into hell. It is both beautiful and horrifying. A major work from James - no one is doing anything remotely like him. Highly recommended. -- David Keenan. Remastered version of the CD-R release on New Age Discs. Limited edition of 425 copies. Color printed covers. Dedicated to Zac Davis." -Olde English Spelling Bee |

After discovering both of us shared an interest and obsession with the Irish Republican Army and the conflicts and Troubles in Northern Ireland, we decided working together on a project based on this would be worth while. This 7" is the result. It is the most superior FFH offensive to date. Superior in sound, in lyrics, and in ideas.

Artist: FIFTY FOOT HOSE Title: Cauldron Format: LP Label: Phoenix Country: UK Price: $24.00 |
| Repressed. "Deluxe LP format only; 180 gram pressing. Cauldron was Fifty Foot Hoses first and most famous recorded work, released on Limelight Records in 1968. Founded by Cork Marcheschi, the band played continuously around the Bay area of northern California throughout the mid-60s. Marcheschi, who had developed a taste for R&B and the avant-garde music of composers such as Edgard Varèse, started out as the bands bass player, but his interest in experimental music prompted him to develop his own musical instrument, similar in function to the hybrid developed by Simeon Cox, and which was the underpinning of the Silver Apples sound. The band played a lot of gigs, but the experimental nature of their music tended to perplex audiences unused to such sounds. However, a four-track demo led to the band signing on the experimental Mercury subsidiary, Limelight Records, and under the eye of producer, Dan Healey (later to work extensively with the Grateful Dead), Cauldron appeared in 1969. As the album didnt fit into any particular mold, it largely went un-noticed at the time, but to the modern listener, this is an album that has stood the test of time particularly as Marcheschi used just about every electronic device known to man, including audio generators, echodette, squeaky box, siren, ring oscillator circuits and two Theremins. Given Cauldrons lack of success, the band disintegrated, although several members were to quickly resurface in the musical Hair. However, by the late 70s and early 80s, interest in the bands singular sound was rekindled, with the likes of Pere Ubu, Throbbing Gristle and Chrome all deriving inspiration from its music. An important and influential album." - Phoenix. |

Artist: FILHO, HUGO Title: Paraibo Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $46.00 |
| "Everything began in 1977 when the poet, Antonio de Padua Carvalho invited me to create melody for his poetries. At that time I was lead guitarist of the band The Gentlemen (a garage northwest group that included Ze Ramalho, who released the wonderful DLP together with Lula Cortez in one of his line-ups and recorded a rare LP and one 45). For this unique project we invited Ze Ramalho, the musician and composer Elisio Alexandrino (Golinha), to control the four-channel tape recorders the musician Enilton Araujo, the twelve string viola arrangements were done by Irapuan (Pupu), drummer Edmilson (Crauna), percussion by special guest Ze Crisologo, and Hugo Filho (Hugo Leão) on nylon guitar,bass, keyboards and art direction. This LP is really special, Brazilian charm and poetic words. Even in Brazil, an incredible rare album, only 500 pressed, given to friends and sold in shops- the first private pressing in this country. If Sacros, Lula Cortez, Mutantes and El Congreso is something you like, you will love this one. Lots of folk elements which devolve in twisted endings. Something you want to play to your new girl on a crazy summer night. And for you guys in N.Y. with Brazilian roots (Arto Lindsay) this is something you should play at your next party. A great album this is. 450 numbered LPs, glossy heavy sleeve, 180 gram pressing." -Shadoks |

Artist: FILLE QUI MOUSSE Title: Trixie Stapleton 291 Format: LP Label: Bichon Country: France Price: $19.00 |
| 1st time ever readily available on vinyl - the rarest entry on the legendary Nurse With Wound list (which is saying something). Ltd. ed. of 300. "Fille Qui Mousse ("Girl With Froth"??) is one the most mythical albums to be released(?) from France. Recorded in 1972, it was issued in 73 (evidently only as a test pressing in an edition of maybe 50) by the legendary Futura label. Often referred to as the French Faust, FQMs album mixed collage, psychedelic rock, surreal poetry, and organically tapped noise purity with the absolute best of experimental 70s rock-and-beyond. One of the essential reissues of the 70s rock underground." - Bichon. "Straight off, we plunge into that Faust structure...riffing with a psychedelic bent, hints of Gong too...we move into bizarrely constructed patterns of percussive sound and chopped-up rock music, and just as a musical focus takes shape it disappears. A poem, recited by a girl, over an urban landscape populated by numerous barking dogs then gives way to an intensely strange mangled web of sound thats almost brain numbing. And, yet more in the way of strangeness is a piano based piece that recalls some of Roger Doyles early experiments. The only actual song has the most bizarre lyrics (in English) and is followed by an excursion in distorted and processed guitar. Next is where the folk music comes in, but even with gypsy violin FQMs interpretation of folk is strange and twisted. Finally, we return to the psychedelic jamming that opened the album, but with a jazzier edge, ending the album perfectly." - Audion. Very highly recommended! |

| "In 1998, after attending close to every one of the Ensembles bimonthly concerts at the West Bank School of Music for well over a decade, Michael Mann decided the group was long overdue for the opportunity to once again present its work in a concert hall. (The school, you see, is actually an old house; the Ensemble presenting its work in the "living room".) So, he booked a hall on a local college campus for "Two Evenings of Improvised Music", wherein Milo Fine and Steve Gnitka, the nucleus of the Ensemble, collaborated with four of their most stalwart associates -- Scott Newell, John OBrien, Elliot Fine and Jason S. Shapiro -- in trio and quartet formats. He also made arrangements for the event to be recorded. Thus, this triple CD features the vast majority of the music played during those two evenings." - Shih Shih Wu Ai.

| Limited edition of 500 copies. "I began working with Steve Gnitka in late 1975, after an introduction arranged by Scott Newell, with whom I had already been collaborating for a few years. (Primarily playing guitar, Scott was a member of the Ensemble at the time, and, as he was leaving town, recommended Steve as his ⿿replacement.) Shih Shih Wu Ai 12/13 marks Steves and my 15th collaborative LP and/or CD, while Scotts work with me has previously been documented on SURGES/SUSPENSIONS, COMME TOUJOURS (Shih Shih Wu Ai 7-9) and KOI/KLOPS (Emanem 4060). I first met Charles Gillett in the late nineties, but it wasnt until a few years later (2002) that we really started getting to know one another and, after being exposed to his distinctive approach to the guitar, began collaborating. Charles work with me has previously been documented on SENILITÿ (Emanem 4132) and CONTIGUOUS CHUNKS (Shih Shih Wu Ai 11). Stefan Kac and I are both on the faculty at the West Bank School of Music (me for decades; him since 2005). I first heard him play at a benefit for the School that year where he tore through an a cappella realization of Thelonious Monks ⿿Bye-Ya. (This event provided him the first exposure to my playing as well; on that evening a short piano solo.) Within a short time we began working together in a variety of contexts. MORE WISTFUL TUNES FOR THE SINCERE marks our first collaborative documentation." - Milo Fine, Shih Shih Wu Ai. Recorded August 7, 2009 and September 14, 2009. |

Artist: FINE, MILO FREE JAZZ ENSEMBLE Title: Towards Format: CD Label: Shih Shih Wu Ai Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "This CD could be seen as an indirect result of a phone call Milo Fine received from Davu Seru in 2000. Relatively new to improvised music, Davu was casting about for information and possible collaborative possibilities. Discussions, hearing one anothers music and, ultimately, concerts ensued, the latter often involving Davus main partner Andrew Lafkas, among others. Milo also invited each of them to join the Ensemble at as part of the bimonthly concert series at the West Bank School of Music. As the School has neither the space to allow for a quartet with this instrumentation, nor, for that matter, a decent piano, this CD was recorded at Milos home in late 2003." - Shih Shih Wu Ai. Milo Fine: piano, groan tube wheel, acme siren (upstairs), drum set, bowed cymbals, chimes (downstairs); Steve Gnitka: guitar; Andrew Lafkas: bass; Davu Seru: drum set (upstairs), percussion (downstairs). Newest self released disc from Milo and company. |

Artist: FINE, MILO FREE JAZZ ENSEMBLE Title: You Will Not Be Pressed To Buy (Volume One/Volume Two) Format: Double CD Label: Shih Shih Wu Ai Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "Culled from a pair of 2011 concerts. Both feature multi-instrumentalist Fine (drum set, piano, clarinets) and his long-time partner, guitarist Steve Gnitka with, on the first disk, vocalist Viv Corringham, and, on the second, John OBrien (cornet, flugelhorn). John and Milos collaborative work dates back to 1975 and has been documented on the 1975 "LP Improvisations (Being Free)" LP and the 1996 triple CD "Surges/Suspensions". Vivs move from England to Minnesota in 2004 marked the beginning of her ongoing musical association with Milo. Their first, and, up to this point, only shared document was the 2005 CD "Senilta"." - MF |

| "Milo Fine: marimba (electronics), orchestra chimes, bowed cymbals; Davu Seru: percussion; Elliot Fine: drum set, assorted percussion. Recorded in concert at Homewood Studios (Minneapolis) July 11, 2005, this CD documents the trios second encounter. (The entirety of their first concert can be heard on Elfin 1/2: PERCUSSION MUSIC; IMPROVISED). Milos lifework in improvised music began in 1969. Davu started working with free improvisation in 1998, and, in 2000, began his ongoing collaborations with Milo. In addition to being a 44 year veteran of the Minnesota Orchestra, Elliot, Milos father, has a long career as a free lance drummer, teacher, and drum book author. This CD documents his sixth foray into improvised music." - Elfin. |

Artist: FINE, MILO/PAUL METZGER Title: Concerning The Other Condition/Spontaneous Composition.. Format: LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| ...Generator. Neros Neptune presents a split LP of solo works from free-jazz improv master/multi-instrumentalist Milo Fine and guitar experimentalist Paul Metzger. "Moosbruger was recorded on the occasion of my first public collaboration with Paul Metzger. Before the concert, and for a number of reasons, my thought was that, when my name was drawn for a solo, Id be playing drum set. But, as befits the spirit of improvisation (the moment), I grabbed the B flat clarinet, and then, echoing the first time I played piano in public (1971), moved off stage to the prepared piano remains, where the two instruments conjoined. Ulrich is a self-contained section of a set-long (drum) solo I played at the Art of This Gallerys Tuesday Night Improvised Music Series. Moosbruger was recorded on March 21, 2009. Ulrich was recorded on January 20, 2009."-Milo Fine. "I created the Spontaneous Composition Generator to produce a random series of musical actions. It is a device consisting of 37 altered music box movements mounted in a wooden painters box. The alterations include dampening, detuning, replacing, removing, doubling, and reversing the tines. Most of the original melody pins on the cylinders were removed. Rubber bands of various lengths and thicknesses were attached to the winding stems to facilitate a continuously variable tension. One dozen hand-wired piezo pickups are attached to output a stereo signal. The piece on this recording was created November 9, 2009 with a time of 18:43. It was specifically made as a complement to Milos contributions to this Neros Neptune LP." -Paul Metzger. Strictly limited edition of 421 vinyl copies only. Screen-printed onto wax paper sleeves, with an insert. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl. |

On March 21, 2009, Paul Metzger - best known for his transcendental gypsy raga guitar and banjo meditations - jumped in the ring with percussionist Davu Seru and veteran multi-instrumentalist Milo Fine for an evening of uncompromising spontaneous composition.

Artist: FINIS AFRICAE Title: A Last Discovery: The Essential Collection, 1984-2001 Format: Double LP Label: EM Country: Japan Price: $29.00 |
|
"Gatefold double LP version. Contains two bonus tracks not found on the CD version. Finis Africæ (or Finis Africae): words redolent of mystery and myth, of Europe looking out to new lands, new worlds, new times. And so it is with A Last Discovery, the work of Spaniard Juan Alberto Arteche Guel, and his musical co-adventurers, recorded between 1984 and 2001. After 15 years of musical success in Spain with his band Nuestro Pequeño Mundo, Arteche was ready to experiment with new ideas, and with the purchase of a four-track reel-to-reel recorder he did so, exploring imaginary global music-worlds with a core of like-minded explorers. The group, dubbed Finis Africæ by JAA after reading Umberto Ecos The Name of the Rose, where the term refers to forbidden books and hidden knowledge, released seven recordings over an 18-year period, the best of which are compiled here. Finis Africæ was part of the "new wave" of Spanish music which gradually emerged after the end of the Francoist regime. Using modern electric instruments and traditional acoustic instruments from many cultures blended together via studio alchemy, a magic which grew even stronger with the acquisition of a 16-track recorder after their second release, Finis Africæ created an outward-looking musical multiverse, an unclassifiable amalgam encompassing elements of folk traditions from all over the world, skillfully and lovingly shaped into an inclusive pan-global whole. Deeply influenced by African music, the groups reverberant, organic minimal funk will appeal to DJs as well as all who yearn for the loving warmth that comes with the embrace of global possibilities. With liner notes in Spanish, English and Japanese by JAA, A Last Discovery, is the first release by Finis Africae outside of their native Spain. Come take a retrospective journey of discovery where new worlds await." -EM.

Artist: FINJARN & JENSEN Title: Finjarn & Jensen Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $48.00 |
| "Numbered edition of 500, glossy heavy sleeve on 180 gram vinyl with insert. "Guitarist, vocalist, composer and artist, Svein Finjarn can be safely called a legend in American rock. He began playing guitar and acting before he was ten years old, and in the fall of 1961, he became the first Norwegian who played in a rock band with a fender Stratocaster. In autumn 1969 he helped put together super heavy rock group Jumbo with Freddy Lindquist, Leif Jensen and Tore Syvertsen. The group had two singles, but were dissolved during the work on their first LP. Finjarn and Jensen made the album complete with Lindquist, Arild Krosby, Arne Kvikstad and Grete Christoffersen. Yngvar Holm wrote an enthusiastic article that was published by the jacket. Briton John Mills was the producer for the album, which came out in autumn 1970, and that could be placed side by side with the hard, progressive rock from abroad. One of the coolest albums made in Scandinavia. The music follows a great underground concept and hits as strong a bands like Blossom Toes, July, Open Mind -- a real British Psychedelic flowerpower album made in Norway." -Shadoks |

"One of the rarest LPs from the exclusive Mushroom-Label finally gets its official release on vinyl! Often labeled as folk, Simon Finns debut album from 1970 is actually more in the singer/songwriter vein but totally different to everything else you can find in this genre. With a couple of guest musicians (e.g. Kenny Elliot from Second Hand) Simon Finn created ten songs of an eerie, angry, unsettling and, if you hear the track Jerusalem, even disturbing nature. Shortly withdrawn after its release, this demanding album is nearly impossible to find these days so finally here is your chance to listen to this fascinating music. Limited edition of 500." -Mayfair

Artist: FITZ-GERALD & LOL COXHILL, G.F. Title: The Poppy Seed Affair Format: Double CD/DVD Label: Reel Recordings Country: Canada Price: $31.00 |
| "Electric guitar radical G.F. Fitz-Gerald and soprano saxophone subversive Lol Coxhill; dual masters of spontaneous art and intuitive music, unleash The Poppy Seed Affair, a three disc collection for your edification and confoundment. The Poppy Seed Affair film was produced in 1981 by Londons anarch-oholic troupe, The Matchbox Purveyors; Ian Hinchcliffe, Jeff Nuttall, Mark Long, G.F. Fitz-Gerald, Lol Coxhill & Foxy. Inimitable soundtrack by Lol Coxhill, sometimes in trio with drummer Robert Wyatt and bassist Archie Leggett. Now rescued from utter obscurity to DVD (NTSC all-region; run time: 30 minutes), this comedic tour-de-farce juggles the insane and the inane with a twist of the profane. Complementing this complete experience are two extraordinary compact discs mastered directly from true-to-life tape recordings out of the G.F. Fitz-Gerald archive. CD1 is an intimate, close-mic concert recording of Fitz-Gerald & Coxhill at Newcastles Spectro Arts Workshop, 1981. Here, the duos mercurial genius for spatial sonics is fully displayed. CD2 collects several works for tape, beginning with "Listen Collage," which reconstructs, à la Faust Tapes, random room sounds of bizarre hippie domesticity, bedroom radios, tape recorders and ambient street sounds from Londons Ladbrooke Grove during the spring of 1969. Unmistakably, this is a prodigious 20-minute audio adventure unique to its epoch. Following "Listen Collage" are two extended works for prepared guitars and sundry effects, leading to the sampled tape loop trip "Band In My Head." And lastly, a tape collage for The Matchbox Purveyors stage show, The Team. This entire disc transforms the magic of the creative moment into deeply experiential realms for our minds-eye. Furthermore, in refusing to impose any impure digital processing whatsoever, these analog recordings remain en vérité. Few guitarists have so audaciously scaled the sonic heights G.F. Fitz-Gerald has, no other saxophonist sounds as Lol Coxhill does, and Reel Recordings proudly presents a profusion of their unadulterated artistry throughout this rare archival collection. The Poppy Seed Affair is delivered as a numbered limited edition of 500 copies." - Reel Recordings. |

Musically akin to such contemporaries as Wire and This Heat, Five or Six had the distinction of providing the opening track (Portrait) to Cherry Red¹s historic Pillows and Prayers compilation and this little masterpiece is duly featured on this Best Of collection. Also featured are such stellar singles as Another Reason (produced by the late and very legendary Kevin Coyne) and Polar Exposure and also the outstanding cuts from their impossibly rare and greatly sought after Spanish import album, Play Me That Song That Goes Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. After the group disbanded, its members went on to a multifarious range of artistic occupations, such as members of Spring Heel Jack, the Shock Headed Peters, at Factory Records and 4AD Records and in the drama department of the BBC." - Cherry Red |

With white flowing beard and twinkled eye he can either blow solo, levitating all real estate to a higher key of thought, or collaborate with anyone lucky enough to travel his spaceway of experience. Radical guitarist Bill Nace has been connecting with Flaherty for a number of years now. Nace is the secret weapon of the New England underground free scene and has been charming basement dwellers searching for portals to new noise dimensions with his prepared guitar administration in accordance with both Chris Corsano in the legendary Vampire Belt and with Thurston Moore in the magic wildstyle of Northampton Wools. Here, in duo with the master Flaherty, he drops and sails and the two men create journeys both frightening and enlightening. A strange and beautiful session." -Ecstatic Peace. |

Forsaking the call and response modes of countless improvising ensembles, the duo deal more in a simultaneity of sound, an elemental non-stop gush of ideas, rhythms and epiglottal forms that at points feels like a small-group response to the orchestral conceptions of the Peter Brotzmann and John Coltrane big-bands as much as epochal duo deals like the Rashied Ali/Frank Lowe and Muhammad Ali/Frank Wright sides." - Family Vineyard. |

According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as singularity, a zone of infinite density, which is also what is thought to exist at the core of the black hole. The result of its expansion is what we call the Universe and it is also what this album is all about. The gate was opened one night in May, in a basement of Northampton, Ma. by Paul Flaherty on saxophone and Weasel Walter on drums and percussions. Particles sounded to me exactly like the Big Bang of music. An origin, a passage of energy that you can feel, not only listen. There is a shiverig tension throughout the whole album, as if everything was ready to collapse from one moment to another. Of course there is no real explosion, but a sense of constant vibration that has his apex on the final cut, with Flaherty and Walter joined by the incredible voice of Laila Maria Salins. Then, silence and back into the darkness. As someone said that night: Music is the key. We couldnt agree more. 140 grams vynil, first press of 157 numbered copies. Silkscreened." -8mm |

|
"Edition of 250. Typically, the release show for this LP was busted. Some young pud officers falsely claimed theyd had a noise complaint and shut the thing down, shining lights deep into the ocular orifices of both Flaherty and Nace to make sure their souls were not harboring weapons of mass destruction or something. Such reaction remains sadly typical of the thought crimes perpetrated against those who would think in free-flowing curves during this new Fascist Century.
William Bill Nace and Paul Pops Flaherty are two of the finest side-sliding brain wranglers in the greater New England area. Flahertys saxwork has been well known for decades, and is personally responsible for hitching many young mules to the free jazz wagon train. Naces guitar stylings are a more recent development, but they have hewed to such an idiosyncratic path that their constantly renewing techniques feel as timeless as butter.
Not sure exactly how these guys fell into the same boat. Presumably Chris Tigercat Corsano was involved. He had, afterall, maintained a long-running eponymous duo with Flaherty as well as one called Vampire Belt with Nace. So that may have been the key. Perhaps the twod get together to jam along with the TV set when Corsano and Bjork would appear on some laye night program. Maybe thats how it started. But whatever the case, the combination of Flahertys long wiggling shrieks and Naces amp-rasped string-explosions is a lovely totter into the abstract eye of a very hot furnace. There is tons of high-aktion skronk on this LP without any kind of apologizing about lack of formal content or linear development (both codewords for bullshit). This mother just GOES.
And its sure to appeal to anyone who also likes going. Especially if they hate fucking cops. (Note: the cover art by Rick Fang Myers shows two Bobbies being melted by UFO lasers.) Or even if they just hate Rudy Giuliani, which, presumably we all do. Imagine this as a very loud bullet slowly pushing its way through Rudys skull and just wallow in the pleasure of it all. Yum!" -Byron Coley

| "Wally Shoup, Chris Corsano, and Paul Flaherty make up this Screamin free punk-jazz-liquid-solid-noize trio captured LIVE "in your face"-style in Seattle, WA. Totally improvised double sax and drum explopsions that break down into duos and solos and re-ignite as trio howlin paint splattered maddness gone butt-naked wilder. Recorded at an art gallery with Artwork melting off the walls and frightened fans nervously mopping their furrowed blood-stained brows (they were especially afraid one or both of the sax players would expire...... it did feel like attempted sax suicide), this limited LP, which will be the final volume in the RECORDS label plan, represents one half of the concert that emerged on that unsuspecting evening. The other half is being released at the same time (relatively) on the Tyfus label in Finland as BLANK CHECK. Thus creating another pair of sister releases much like the LAST EYES (RECORDS #8) & STEEL SLEET (TYFUS) LP pair released in 2005. The CHECK pair will serve as the document of the only event this trio has played to date, and it presents another blistering historical document of an underground movement that continues to go un-recognized and even un-noticed in most of the so-called civilized baby starvin world. Free music... hard to believe it can still piss people off just by rearing its ugly head... but someones gotta stand up and throw the metaphysical psycho love bombs... thankfully we still have volunteers like these notorious three to kick around the turntable.

| "Snow Blind Avalanche is a completely different album than A Rock In The Snow also being released on Important though the two records were made during the same sessions. Snow Blind Avalanche finds the Flaherty/Corsano/Yeh in more abstract free dimensions with Yehs presence in the sound even more firmly established. Recorded as the snow fell. No overdubs. Live in studio. Free-noise-punk-jazz with bent-sick-burning vocals. Amen. - Paul Flaherty. |

Artist: FLAHERTY/SAM GAS CAN/WHITE LIMO, PAUL Title: Mystery Triangle Format: LP Label: Feeding Tube Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "New music from Paul Flaherty, with Sam Gas Can and White Limo. Pressing of 500 copies, cover art by Joshua Burkett. Like all of the greatest live "festival" records -- Woodstock II (Cotillion 71), Mar y Sol (Atco 72) & 1968 Memphis Country Blues Festival (Blue Horizon 69) -- Mystery Triangle is an especially exceptional souvenir for those people who were there when it happened. But unlike dud compilations, Mystery Triangle provides a truly fine sonic gush for even those of us who were too confused (or scared) to "make" the actual "scene." In November 2011, a goddamn magnificent display of talent went down at Joshua Burketts Mystery Train store in Amherst, MA. And thankfully, Edward "Ted" Lee, the whirling dervish of Feeding Tube, was there to capture the sounds on tape. First up is Paul Flaherty -- the godfather of all that is good and weird in New England. Paul has been woefully under-documented in solo performance. His maniacal sax work is well represented in duo and group settings, but he has always been a bit shy about pure solo work-outs, and he shouldnt be. The beauty of his turn here is stunning. Relying less on the freak-gush that marks his ensemble work, Flaherty creates a pure, blazing line of melodic invention that is a testament to both the power of his lungs and the creativity of his process. Stoned and flowing, his side rips gently into the air with a series of compositional statements that are gorgeous, fully-imagined and a testament to the brilliance of no-net-improvising. Without other players gumming up his works, Paul moves through moods and thoughts with ferocious surety, creating one of the finest recordings in his catalog. Truly a wowser of a set. Sam Gas Can sometimes relies on conceptual theories for his sets, but here is an engine of pure glossalic genius. Working in the tradition of the great sound-poets, Sam offers a bravura performance that stretches itself deep into the Schwitters zone, conjuring up subconscious connections to memories locked far beneath our surfaces. As the great Dredd Foole noted after the set, "No one uses their voice any more." An amazing thing. Finally, White Limo (Chris Cooper, Jess Goddard and Joshua Vrysen), hit the road with a set of cracked electronics halfway between serious aleatory ensembles like Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza and proletarian ass-crack noisers such as Id M Theft Able. Although they dont seem to play often, this trio (with deep roots throughout of the odd-noise underground) has cracked the code that has daunted many other combos with similar intent, making sounds that manage to be both deeply resonant and weirdly engaging. Totally boss. This is a fully satisfying festival record. Every performer, every note feels essential. One of the best. No shit. Includes mp3 download." -Feeding Tube. |

Artist: FLAMING DRAGONS OF MIDDLE EARTH Title: Electric Scaryland Format: Cass + Art Label: Beniffer Editions Country: Canada Price: $9.00 |
| "FDOME frontman and songwriter Danny Cruz picked me up like a construction worker in a Diet Coke commercial. Ill admit it. Our first letter of correspondance was a sinister burn in hell type rant about how Beniffer Editions was going to be swallowed by the earth itself. He was immediately asked for an official release. Electric Scaryland is a group excersive in outsider antics, dis tracks and grunge poetry. Funky Society 1 & 2 are raps that uhhhh spit a few cursive lines towards Sharon Tate, Joni Mitchell and Mother Superior. Youre not buying a MC Trachiotomy tape. Youre buying Rock & Roll music with a deep Sabbath influence. Yes, thats Danny and Ozzy on the back cover with a couch in the background." -Bennifer Editions. |

Artist: FLAMING DRAGONS OF MIDDLE EARTH Title: The Seed of Contempt Format: LP Label: Feeding Tube Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "The opportunity to uncover such a talent might only come once in a lifetime. Danny Cruz is a wheelchair-bound adolescent whos apocalyptic lyrics and musical vision are at once life-affirming and evil-obsessed. Taking a page from his heroes, Black Sabbath, Roky Erickson and Sun Ra, Danny and his crew stir a "cauldron of words and sound" on their seemingly endless pursuit towards world domination and total artistic freedom. Culled from over three years of practice tapes and home recordings, "The Seed of Contempt" is a total outsider oddity; falling somewhere inbetween heaven and hell. "Reality-Core" "Mud Lightning Metal". - Feeding Tube. |

Artist: FLASHBACK REPOSITORY Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Olde English Spelling Bee Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "Remastered issue of an obscure tape from the mysterious Outer Limits Collective (Wingdings/Explorers/Matrix Metals/Foxy Baby/Yoga/90210/etc). Limited to 425 copies in pro-printed duo-tone sleeves with a 5-page essay booklet." "The flashback repository is a storehouse of collective waste consciousness from all beings of the universe, i.e. all unfiltered myth & material of the human/alien/animal mind, laying dormant in a hidden dimension resembling a disposal area or transfer station somewhere within our spectral plane. A vast depot for all universal race memory that passes beyond our mortal earthly cognition and subconscious apparatus. This reposited latent substance is available to all organisms within our particular sphere, all beings earthy and paranormal. The recordings here represent the three main stages of unconscious withdrawal: Glimpse, Recurrence, and Manifestation - they are a blue print of sorts. There may be a possibility of the retrieval of materials - the recycling of this substance alongside the development of individual real-time understanding of eternal materials and impressions that are constantly escaping our sensory grip. The repository shows itself as what appears to be part of an undivided whole, a section manifested in our dimensional field through thin channels of emotion & vibration. These phenomena are the result of direct brain-repository contact, a glimpse into the infinite plenitude of energy and data housed by the repository. With each glimpse, each peek through these looking-glass channels, the mind gains a deeper insight into the potentials hibernating within the data-pool and the particular characteristics and movements of the repository. It is important to note that the usage of the word flashback connotes not only the re-collection or re-existence of memory and dream data from the past, but also the future. For instance one can flash forward just as easily and achieve the desired results." -- Outer Limits Inc. |

Artist: FLAVIOLA E O BANDO DO SOL Title: Flaviola e o Bando do Sol Format: CD Label: World Psychedelia Country: Brazil Price: $18.00 |
| "Another great example of Brasilian psicodelia from the collective of underground musicians in Recife, featuring Flávio Lira in the lead role, along with Lula Côrtes, Pablo Raphael, Robertinho of Recife, and Zé of the Flute. Of the crazy albums from this period, the Flaviola record Flaviola E O Banda Do Sol (Flaviola and the Flock of the Sun) is one of the rarest jewels. Although it was recorded the same year (1974) as Lula Côrtes and Zé Ramalhos Paêbiru album, and with most of the same musicians, this is mainly an acoustic album, rife with poetic language and regional instruments, but also demonstrating the abundant energy of people involved in making something fresh and new. The cauldron of influence in Recife resulted in some very intriguing music, and the Flaviola album is no exception -- its more intimate a trip than Paêbirú, and more accessible an experience than Satwa; this is a brilliant album, full of strange moments (cellophane crinkled into the microphone as percussion), some deft acoustic guitar, and some of the prettiest songs this side of Vashti Bunyan. Notes are more or less in English, and hefty booklet includes lyrics too." World Psychedelia. |

Dr. Siegels..., originally released in 1972, is a much more keyboard-oriented affair, with Narumo adding a Moog, celeste and harpsichord to his usual Hammond and piano line-up. On this album, the musical influences are more Uriah Heep than the previous Hendrix-inspired leanings, although touches of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Deep Purple, Birth Control and even Black Sabbath find their way into the musical mèlange. Dr. Siegels... presents a rich selection of musical styles, culminating with "Guide Me To The Quietness," a glorious prog epic that brings an inventive and enjoyable album to a climactic finale.

Good Bye, originally released in 1972, brings together a live first side bursting with highly energetic, guitar-based loud rock. The studio side is a more sophisticated and progressive affair, with the complex and instrumentally-inspired "521 Seconds Schizophrenic Symphony" being of a particularly high standard.

Contains four distinct tracks that completely distinct and kills the inner ear. With the volume turned up to the max, this blown-out and distorted piece of wax will be sure to please any fans of Live Fast Die, Cheap Time, Jesus and Mary Chain and anything else that shreds while maintaining a deeply seeded sense of pop-punk. Think of it as the perfect medium for early 90s fuzz-gaze and 70s glam punk." - Kill Shaman. |

"The dark side of psychedelic has not lost any of it allure on people with attitude and lofi-equipment in the years since Velvet Underground or the third Big-Star-Album. The Berlin trio Floating Di Morel has freed this type of 60�??s coolness, that which is attached to flared jeans, in their album without much fuss from the retro graveyard. In the 80s there was a retro-psychedelic movement which was bypassed by New-Wave-Cool �?? jagged electronics without emotionality and with the 60�??s-Noir-Cool �?? grinding guitar without emotionality �?? with their flea market casio fenders. Floating Di Morel goes further, eliminating the guitar and sounding, with this small quirk, so refreshed, that during the interlude, one could imagine oneself being in Martinique. It is not for nothing that on the cover, next to 60s underground heroes Skip Spence and Moondog, Green Velvet are portrayed." Edition of 300. Highly Recommended!!

| "This split LP marks the first release from Baltimore resident Christopher Flores. After touring throughout the US with various post rock and experimental bands, Flores has recently focused more on solo activities, blurring the lines between acoustic and digital composition. Although the opening track, M.O.R.T., is created purely in the digital realm one begins to hear gently plucked strings, soft bells and waves of radio beneath its tactile surface. In the second track, Edits for Piano Flores creates an intricately defined landscape using only piano as source. Within this overall sound, delicate melodies begin to form as distortion slowly swells to the surface. Janek Schaefers Orders EP collects five pieces ranging in sound from the crackle and hiss of record debris, to the carefully layered hum of bass, to a chorus of family members singing the word love. The record also features a meticulously edited locked groove created using Schaefers custom made audioh!Splicer software. An extremely diverse EP that effectively carries the listener from one sonic environment to another." - Snail Article. |

With that said, I bring you FLORIDA, not to be confused with those other Florida bands. This Florida incorporates a ghoulish brand of lo-fi pop akin to John Maus and Ariel Pink but not to a point where it becomes bland or insipid, moreso Florida took some of the same influences of David Bowie that John Maus and Ariel Pink did, in that way they are alike. Of course just when I think Ive pinpointed the bands sound I hear a song full of psychotropic drone, appeasing the John Cale fan in me. This band has a great 7-inch out on Shdwply Records and I most certainly encourage you to purchase it."-Weekly Tapedeck. |

If youre into Blue Cheer and extra heavy Fuzz guitar is your thing, you´ll love this album. Great songs, a mindblower. Finally it came out on CD with 3 bonus tracks and poster-booklet. In those rebellious and psychedelic times we barely earned enough to pay for food at times, while developing our musical horizons. I am amazed we survived those days. Eventually, we became a 3 piece band - The Flow. We rented a room in NYC -- also renting a room was Wicked Lester, a band later to be known as KISS. We used the space for our own explorations. With our limited funds, we could only complete half of the project so we released the record with one blank side and later on, added more material." -Pete Fine |

Musicians: Sean Kennerly singing, guitar; JEFF KISH guitar; HISHAM BHAROOCHA (BLACK DICE) drums; CHRIS JOHANSON bass. Recorded, mixed, and produced by CHRIS MOORE at Stay Gold and Headgear. Features art by Chris Johanson and JOHANNA JACKSON, silkscreened by NEIL BURKE at Monoroid. Includes a bonus CD." -Awesome Vistas |

Artist: FLOWER TRAVELLIN BAND Title: Made In Japan Format: LP Label: Phoenix Country: UK Price: $23.00 |
| "Following critical acclaim but meager record sales in their native Japan after their superb debut album, Satori (ASH 3002CD/LP), Yuya Uchida and his Flower Travellin Band decamped to Canada following an invitation to open for local jazz-rock outfit Lighthouse. While there, Lighthouse leader and keyboard player Paul Hoffert offered to produce the bands next studio album, the ironically-titled Made In Japan, originally released in 1972, although it must be said, Hofferts musical vision didnt always reflect the bands. However, Uchida was particularly happy with the results; although again, critical acclaim didnt translate into significant record sales and the band duly parted company following their half-live/half-studio release, Make Up (ASH 3033CD). Housed in a gatefold sleeve with slip case and original LP artwork. Digitally remastered. Hand-numbered edition of 1000 copies." - Phoenix. |

Artist: FLOWER TRAVELLIN BAND Title: Make Up Format: Double CD Label: Phoenix Country: UK Price: $24.00 |
| "When released in 1973, Make Up, with its incredible faux-leather imitation attaché case outer bag, looked every bit the last word in over-the-top packaging and now originals, complete and in good condition, fetch hundreds of dollars in the collectors market. However, despite the lavish packaging, Make Up did little to enhance the groups already considerable reputation and the various band members went their separate ways immediately after the albums release. Although the album has been described as "inconsistent," there are some definite stand-out tracks, and generally Make Up reflects the varied influences that the band drew on throughout their sadly short career. This double album consists of both live and studio recordings and features keyboardist Nobuhiko Shinohara. 2CD housed in a replica outer slip-case and deluxe gatefold sleeve, including the original LP insert. Numbered, limited edition." -Phoenix |

Artist: FLOWER TRAVELLIN BAND Title: Satori Format: CD Label: Radioactive Country: UK Price: $17.00 |
| "Possessing the vision to select Akira Joe Yamanaka as their vocalist, the Flower Travellin boys elevated themselves above other Japanese bands of the time, whose efforts were largely confined to imitating British and American bands of the era. Satori , which was released in 1971, is a conceptual hard rockpsych album driven by Hideki Ishimas furious guitar licks which erupt and explode over the harmonic heart beat of the drums and bass and Yamanakas banshee-like vocal style which was turning him into an occidental Iggy Pop or Ozzy Osbourne while the band itself was rapidly becoming Japans answer to Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. Satori is a huge album in every way. From power chords to Easterntinged North African six string freak-outs and crashing tom-toms, the band flexes its collective muscle from start to finish." - Radioactive. |

In the couple years since their debut, The Radiant Mirror (Textile), the two have toured and recorded frequently, expanding their range to include a mind-boggling array of free sound. "I, Brute Force" kicks off the record with the electrifying sound of Flowers virtuosic, heavily amplified Japan Banjo (also known as a Shaahi Baaja) over Corsanos free-wheeling percussion. Other tracks show off subtle improv moves, with both players using extended techniques to generate a wide range of unusual sounds. Corsanos technical mastery is almost without peer in his generation (Alex Neilson, maybe)-his ability to take the lessons of nearly five decades of free playing and extend them into new ranges is startling and exciting. Rather than play backup, Corsano meets Flowers strings and organ head-on with his own drum-bowing, cello, and circular-breathing-fired melodica." - VHF |

"Its not often that two musical behemoths clash heads and the result is so powerful and seismic, but there is truly nothing more explosive than this seemingly tiny 7". With one of the worlds best drummers; the magnificent Chris Corsano (Vampire Belt, Death Unit, Vampire Cant, etc.) and one of the UKs prime improvisers Michael Flower (of the Vibracathedral Orchestra) on Japanese banjo this was always going to be something special, but really just how intense these two tracks are is almost impossible to put into words. Anyone who has seen the duo perform live might have an inkling of the kind of heady psychedelic experience their music drags out of you, and on The Undisputed Dimension their shows are truncated to just ten minutes of music." - No-Fidelity.

Artist: FLYING CANYON Title: Flying Canyon Format: CD Label: Soft Abuse Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "Soaring like The Eagles on Robitussin, Flying Canyons mournful California folk-rock slowly ascends into the desert sky. Imagine the distant moan of a melted CSN&Y cassette floating up from a boombox deep in a ravine while crows pick at a corpse on the mesa. Existing in the sun-baked tradition of burnt-out Cosmic Californians like Sky Sunlight Saxon, Skip Spence, David Crosby and Phil Perlman, frontman Cayce Lindner is tapping a rich vein of indigenous folk, rock & country. Much like their forefathers, Flying Canyon are not traditionalists. With organ, fuzz bass, cathedral harmonies & cavernous drums, the band slows the pace to a funeral crawl. An apocalyptic and almost religious feeling emanates from this music, while Lindner, with quavering vocals of the Young/Garcia axis and a sensitive masculinity akin to Kristofferson, delivers his high desert eulogies; mournful tales of eternal love and despair. Backing Lindner in Flying Canyon are Shayde Sartin (Kelley Stoltz, The Skygreen Leopards, Giant Skyflower Band, etc) and Jewelled Antlers Glenn Donaldson (The Skygreen Leopards, Thuja, Giant Skyflower Band, The Franciscan Hobbies, etc). Donaldson recorded Flying Canyon on a crumbling reel-to-reel tape machine at his home in San Franciscos famed Mission District, mere blocks from where Sir Douglas Quintet recorded their classic Together After Five LP." - Soft Abuse. |

| "Jah Lloyd meets David Cunningham on The Secret Dub Life Of The Flying Lizards from The Flying Lizards. These legendary recordings from 1978 are now available on vinyl for the first time." - FE. "The source tapes for this LP were recorded in Jamaica by Jah Lloyd (Patrick Francis) as part of a series he made for Virgin Records Front Line label. The original tapes were not released and were offered to me by Front Lines Jumbo Vanrennen with the suggestion that I should remix the music. I accepted the project, expecting lots of time in one of Virgins studios to play with the music and the equipment, only to be presented with a mono master tape. So I began to invent (or perhaps re-invent) techniques of editing, looping, filtering and subtraction to deal with unremixable mono material (these were the days before samplers). The subsequent work took a long time: as I thought it might be something of an indulgence, I worked on it at weekends and evenings rather than let it interfere with other projects. The techniques used here expanded my vocabulary of musical electronic (as opposed to electronic music) treatments and appear in a very different form on records made at that time, notably Fourth Wall, my collaboration with Patti Palladin, and my production work on Michael Nymans records. The original players remain unidentified. Jah Lloyd used various combinations of musicians but did not include who played on which tracks." --David Cunningham, May 1995. |

"Personal selection of live material compiled by Dave Pearce for "casual" release. The centerpiece is "P.A. Blues," a massive collage of bracing, full-on sound recorded at various 1994 shows. Moving through various moods and grooves, the piece is similar to the material on the out of print In Search Of Spaces/Live CD released a few years back on Hermes Corp, tho theres no overlap in the contet between the two CDs. Also included: the 1995 groups take on the oft-covered "She Moved Through The Fair, a subdued performance of "The Season Is Ours," and an uncirculated (and assaultive) 1994 instrumental rehearsal, which I believe pre-dates FSAs first live performance.

"Taste the magic! NovaBilly is another edible audible from Henry Flynts dusty lower Manhattan bunker and it stands as one of the fullest, most beauteous document of Flynts tenure with a full working rock band to date. For less than one calendar year between 1974 and 1975, Henry Flynts hard driving, heavy jamming agit country rock band, NovaBilly embraced bareknuckled deep fried groove attacks, bearded hippie jam band workouts & a monstrous melange of blues, boogie and free jazz squeal into a musical soufflé that could only have come together with Flynt cooking up what was proven to be, time and again, an impossible vision within the confines of the SOHO art orbit of the 70s. After a couple performances at Anthology Film Archives and studio sessions in Richmond, Virginia and Manhattan, the band postered SOHO in a last ditch effort to get some traction with the hipsters that read, Party on down to the Kitchen. Stoned country music for rock country. The gig, like all the others before it, was poorly attended. NovaBilly played what would be their last live gig at the Kitchen on June 27, 1975. NovaBilly covers a damned fine and important moment in Henry Flynts musical career. If the Insurrections laid the foundation for his anti-war primitive garage rock sound, the emergence, nearly a decade later, of NovaBilly is the realization of Henrys own vision of obtuse personal politics (I was a creep), provocative left-wing posturing (check their version of the world communist anthem The International!) and a gleefully recombinant spin on southern music. 13 cuts and 60 minutes of old glory!" - Locust.

"Our man Flynt shatters the categories once again with this surprise collection of his short lived basement rock protest band, The Insurrections, from 1966. Let there be no doubt in anyones mind: Flynts version of protest music isnt your cultural-commissar school of folk posturing. Its agro and Flynt is an unhinged showman on helium induced vox and the electric guitar (his teacher was none other than Lou Reed). Imagine a mix of Sky Saxon (of Seeds fame) with a dash of Roky Erickson thrown in on vocals, a little bit of the Cramps scary monster dramatics thrown in for good measure & the swamp chugalug laziness of vintage Pussy Galore and you get an idea what Flynt was up to at this phase in his non-career. Features legendary sculptor Walter De Maria on drums, confirming our hidden suspicion that in every great artist theres a desire to rock & beneath every fine gallery, there is a basement.

Flynt scuffles through a most peculiar set of electrified and acoustic bumpkin fiddle howls and screeches circa early to mid 1960s. From the enviable opening echo rock, in which Flynt does his best to compete with the electro-echo buzz of a Jorgen Ingmann or Link Wray to the beauteous instrumental glow of the extended modal country jam of Jamboree, Flynt proves once again that his is not a music simply rooted in the taut belt of New York isms, schisms and jisms. This is music that howls from a unique voice whose love for the folk songbook (known and imagined) is as resonant as a cowbell and as deep as a freshwater." - Bo Weavil.

Call it a sonic postcard or call it late night head music or even call it ecstatic minimalism if you have to.

"A trance-tape piece, constituting one of three known examples of the Illuminatory Sound Environment genre (the other two being Catherine Christer Hennixs The Electric Harpsichord (Die Schachtel 2010) and HENRY FLYNTs upcoming Celestial Power (Quadraphonic Version)). JOHN BERDNTs enthralling liner notes explain ISE as "an unfurling sound field of overwhelming but far from gratuitous sensuality, a highly tuned texture where all of the aspects are coordinated to make a deeply unusual whole, a new kind of perceptual gestalt.... The piece has a disorienting flow that does something strange to time. Its internal structural logic is fascinating but lacks the distraction of an obvious narrative drama-an eternal sound, implying a potentially endless process.... Glissando No. 1 is perhaps the darkest and most feverish expression of the genre, its massed strings and continual timbral transformations covering both a broad audio spectrum and saturating all points in the stereo field with a hallucinogenic and emotive canopy." Companion track "Stereo Piano" from 1978, performed by CATHERINE CHRISTER HENNIX, is also included (her "billowing cloud" piano technique applied to a scale of Flynts, subsequently layered by Flynt himself). With sixteen-page booklet." -Recorded.

"The fifth Henry Flynt CD on Recorded is a masterpiece and quite different from any of his previous releases. The first of two releases documenting the Illuminatory Sound Environments project, Glissando is an amazing response to C. C. Hennixs The Electric Harpsichord (recently released after decades of obscurity on Die Schachtel). Both Glissando and Harpsichord are attempts to develop a truly hallucinogenic music, driven by the unique sensibilities of philosophers Flynt and Hennix. This is the secret history of experimental music of the 70s, revealing sounds and sensibilities that go beyond minimalism or trance music into something far more serious. A bonus track on the disk, Stereo Piano is a beautiful collaboration between Flynt and Hennix, a standout of tapestry-like-minimalism." - Recorded.

Artist: FLYNT, HENRY Title: Graduation Format: Double LP Label: Superior Viaduct Country: USA Price: $25.00 |
| "HENRY FLYNT took a high-brow approach to so-called low-brow music. Combining sounds from his native North Carolina with an avant-garde sensibility honed in New York Citys loft scene in the 1960s, Flynt created what he describes as "new American ethnic music." As a student of Hindustani singer Pandit Pran Nath alongside La Monte Young and Terry Riley, an associate of the Fluxus movement, and even a live collaborator with the Velvet Underground, Flynt was a part of one of the 20th centurys richest art and music milieus. Graduation, recorded between 1975 and 1979, was meant to be the debut of his avant-garde hillbilly music. The albums title track is a slow, twisted ballad that unfolds like a funeral dream over dirge-like country riffs. "Celestial Power," the albums 20-minute closing track, is an entrancing minimalist composition performed strictly with oscillating vibrato guitar. As Flynt explains, "I aspire to a beauty which is ecstatic and perpetual, while at the same time being concretely human and emotionally profound." Shelved upon its completion in 1980, Graduation was not released until after the turn of the century. In 2013, it still sounds years ahead of its time. Includes digital download card." -Superior Viaduct. |

"another fix from the Henry Flynt vaults featuring henry with his downtown NY agitcountry band NovaBilly. Culled from the May 1975 NovaBilly concert at Anthology Film Archives, youd be hard pressed to find a finer representation of Henrys convergence of high lonesome Carolina hillbilly twang and the NY no wave groove than on these two sides: "I was a creep (soul mash" & Left Ear (Greensboro Senior High Song). Get it fast! We only did up 300 copies of this one & when theyre gone, theyre gone." - Locust.
"If I hadnt known already it was Henry Flynt, Id have swore it was a recording of Bob Mothersbaugh fronting 10 60 75 (The Numbers Band) from some long forgotten Saturday night stint at JBs in Kent. Those chooglin barroom blues, weve all hadem! The flip is way more curious & shows the real Rolling Thunder that year didnt belong to Dylans revue but instead to an anonymous bunch called NovaBilly whose solid backbeats & higher key interactions of fiddles n gits reduces the white frocked, turban wearing, mime-faced Renaldo & Clara folly to the outhouse of hokum.In fact, this is so great I got an uncontrollable urge to scream Fuck Bob Neuwirth! at the top of my lungs. So please excuse me while I amble down to the basement & expell my catharsis. Thank you." - Siltblog.
"This thing is a sophistos "real people" disc, recorded by this Flynt guy in 1975 some time after the holler depicted on those LPs. Ill just say that the a-side sounds like 1979 no-wave as predicted using a Roxy Music-brand magic eight ball and that the flip is just a serious bite of moon cheese, weird and disorienting. There aint very many of these and life is too short to harbor regret�?�as I have learned. Rats." - Z Gun.

It is a new creation by Flynt circa 2004, engineered by Tim Barnes." - Recorded

Recorded 12/14/81. "The psychedelic sounds of musical pioneer Henry Flynts drone works with collaborator C.C. Hennix are quietly becoming the stuff of legend. Over some 40 plus minutes, we are treated to a true tour de force thats part Hindustani inflected musical miasma and part warped hillbilly vibrational swing that sways in and out of auditory focus. This is vertiginous music for the third ear. Line Up: Henry Flynt (Violin); C.C. Hennix (Pandit Pran Nath Tamboura)." - Locust.

Artist: FLYNT, HENRY Title: Raga Electric Format: Picture Disc LP Label: Locust Country: USA Price: $42.00 |
|
"In the early 60s, fresh from his clean behind the ears years at Harvard, Henry was undergoing rapid ideological shifts: cavorting with Maciunas and the whole Fluxus bit, doing performances at Yoko Onos loft and recording with La Monte Young; having it out with his Stalinist cohorts over the relative merits of a good blues run and searching for a new musical language outside of the various generic artistic restrictions before him at the time. What he arrived at was an expressive practice he dubbed audact (auditory acognitive cultural activity) and that is what you will hear on this collection. Collecting key material from 1963 to 1971, Raga Electric is a 7 piece distillation of some of Henrys most adventurous, audactatious, outsider musical endeavors. The record begins with, of all things, a hybrid, off the wall treatment of the traditional supranationalist anthem The Marines Hymn sung in a thick tongued, fully untudored Hindustani vocalese to brilliantly sun drenched, lightly strummed acoustic guitar accompaniment. The title cut, Raga Electric, is a twisted, howling fake hindustani rag with staccato untuned guitar and bleating screams recorded at his home just a few short hours after catching Pandit Pran Nath at a downtown morning concert. The howling orgasmic yodel of a visionarys self-posession and certain surrender on this 1966 cut puts Henry somewhere at the epicenter of the folk isolationist world of Jandek and the ethnodislocation of the Sun City Girls, to name but a few. The side long closer, Free Alto, is a monstrous exploration of the ins and outs of the tenor saxophone which, upon hearing it, Terry Riley referred to as a very articulated musical program. Though it remains Henrys single meeting with the instrument, over the course of some 13 odd minutes, he finds out everything he needs to know about the horn and gets into some pretty hairy free squelch and squeal territory in the process. I was just pulling sounds out of a hat and just stringing them together, he recently told me. As hats go, this one should fit the heads of todays listeners just fine." - Locust.

Artist: FLYNT, HENRY & THE INSURRECTIONS Title: I Dont Wanna Format: LP Label: Locust Country: USA Price: $18.00 |

"180 gram vinyl. Our man Flynt shatters the categories once again with this surprise collection of his short-lived basement rock protest band, The Insurrections, from 1966. Let there be no doubt in anyones mind: Flynts version of protest music isnt your cultural-commissar school of folk posturing. Its aggro and Flynt is an unhinged showman on helium-induced vox and the electric guitar (his teacher was none other than Lou Reed). Imagine a mix of Sky Saxon (of Seeds fame) with a dash of Roky Erickson thrown in on vocals, a little bit of the Cramps scary monster dramatics thrown in for good measure & the swamp chugalug laziness of vintage Pussy Galore and you get an idea what Flynt was up to at this phase in his non-career. Features legendary sculptor Walter De Maria on drums, confirming our hidden suspicion that in every great artist theres a desire to rock & beneath every fine gallery, there is a basement.

"FNU Ronnies surprised and won over a slew of discerning listeners when their debut came out in 2008. Their abrasive and chaotic approach to jagged punk rock marred with heavily distorted electronic vibes was like discovering a brand new aphrodisiac for noiseniacs.On Golem, the trio adds a new layer to their fender bending. Imagine a semi-analog liaison between a short-circuiting TR 808, dime store pulp instruments played through a blown-out car stereo and vocals recorded with a can at the end of a string, in the shadow of a huge black monolith. Three songs of goofy perfection and industrial snap-to carnage lasting a total of seventeen minutes, with the epic title track clocking in at the ten minute mark, makes Golem the closest youll get to sipping maple syrup with a straw, without actually sucking." -Skrotup

This one-sided 12-inch contains the same material as the recent cassette/CD on Denmarks Skrot Up label, but is now reissued on vinyl. Deluxe art work by band member JIM VAIL with silkscreening by SHAWN REED. FNU Ronnies are a weird almost indescribable mix of fucked up hardcore propulsion, industrial heaviness, electronics thrashing, and punked out cyborg nihilism. Aesthetic themes elude to psychedelic nightmares, Middle Earth monsters, and generally dark times.

Artist: FO A RM Title: No. 4 Format: Mag/CD Label: Fo A Rm Country: USA Price: $12.50 |
| "Includes an exclusive soundwork from Phill Niblock entitled Ghosts and Others. The material on the CD is a very different work that Phill created for an installation at MJ Scumachers Studio Five Beekman series in March of 1998. Because this material is much more of an audio collage/field recording than Phills typical composed droneworks he never felt comfortable for it to be released as a regular document. This is the first formal, and only, release of the document. It is a full length CD. (Topography) includes essays by sound theorists Douglas Kahn (Noise Water Meat) and Steven Connor (Dumbstruck), lengthy interviews with minimalist luminary Phill Niblock and Biennial darling Julianne Swartz, articles by composers Marc Behrens, Eric LaCasa and Jean-Luc Guionnet, an historical essay by Eliot Weinberger and poetic works by William Fox, Charles Stein and Rachel Daley, among many other things. FO A RM is an interdisciplinary journal of arts and research, published once yearly. We encourage cross-genre methods and investigative projects, with a focus on sound-art, experimental poetics and social sculpture. Each issue clusters around a given topic, gathering together a variety of perspectives, methods and articulations, from the extravagant to the pedestrian." |

Artist: FOCKEWULF 190 Title: Microcosmos 82-86 Format: Double LP Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $41.00 |
| "Suberb synth- and wave-tunes of Fockewulf 190 including the two Italo-disco-classic 12"s Body Heat and Gitano plus more demos and so far unreleased treasures like Orient Express collected from the archive of Victor. Victor once stated: The Fockewulf 190 project was created as a shape equal to a substance, experimental analogy electronic music connected to the theatrical and mimic power of rock and the romantic and esthetic force of the electronic dance of the 80s. We translated those expressive channels with the force of a psychedelic mind folded into a magic and evocative world, an profound research into ourselves. This personal and futuristic mysticism originated the dark side of Italo disco. The publishing, 25 years later, of what should have been our first album in 1986, Microcosmos, shines a light on the sonic creativity of the Fw 190, also because its a record composed only by simple original demos; something pure and synthetic, uncontaminated by commercial compromises." - Vinyl-On-Demand.

"Föllakzoid (prounounced foll-ack-zoid) started playing together three years ago in Chile when they were 20 years old. They were an eclectic group as far as musical taste, having dabbled in everything from classic rock to punk. The first time they jammed together they played non- stop without speaking for two hours and were seemingly over taken by a trance without any clear reference point. After they played their first show they began to delve into 60’s German krautrock while cultivating their love of and simultaneous propulsion towards motorik beat.
They recorded their first record a year after they started and also birthed BYM (Blow Your Mind) Records to release this record and others from their burgeoning psych scene in Santiago, Chile. The label’s output is entirely analog using only tape recordings. We look forward to bringing them over next year to play some NY shows and hopefully do their first US tour." -Sacred Bones

Artist: FOLSOM, ROBERT LESTER Title: Music And Dreams Format: LP Label: Mexican Summer Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "One of the first of many reissues on the Mexican Summer slate brings forth a 1976 private press affair from Georgias Robert Lester Folsom, a high-quality and shimmering, unbuttoned-collar collection of marina rock and sunset ballads. Long out of print and worth a small fortune on eBay, this release is a perfect companion to your copies of "Something/Anything", "If Only I Could Remember My Name" and your Bobb Trimble reissues. Soft is not a four letter word, and this release proves why. Vaguely psychedelic and professionally rendered, this is a strong and consistent brace of rock, staid yet breezy. "At this point, it sounds current and refreshing, especially on album highlight ⿿My Stoves On Fire, which contains the best non-sequitur (I think I love you baby/ my stoves on fire) that may or may not actually be a metaphor for his heart and/or penis." - Mexican Summer. |

Featuring lead vocals by Steve White, known for throwing a babys head in a garbage can in his role in Herschell Gordon Lewis film Just For The Hell Of It." "Mysterious, wondrous masterpiece that most collectors dismiss as the little brother to the other Capitol monsters (Gandalf and Common People) when its actually the best of the three. Intensely emotional and dramatic; these guys had a vision and multiple listens begin to reveal its depth. String-laden ballads hold hands with fleeting blasts of power chords. Bits and pieces that seem to have no purpose blend together to create a surprisingly coherent whole. Its hard to know if they even intended this to be a concept album, but its definitely a case of the whole being more then the sum of the pieces, good as the pieces are." - Acid Archives. |

| "7 songs of studio-recorded solo Dredd Foole on vocals and acoustic guitar, in a totally different vein than the last Dredd Foole & the Din record with Pelt & Thurston Moore ( The Whys of Fire )." "For years and years (maybe about 17 or so), people have been pleading with Dan Ireton to record an album of his songs, as they are here, "mostly in one take". That has, almost unbelievably at this point, finally been taken care of. Not necessarily "new" or particuarly "weird", this is unquestionably (for lack of better terminology), "American". And when was the last time you could admit to that? In front of a crackling fire, it could perhaps sound good enough to melt into the floor, but even those illuminated by mere fluorescence will find pure captivation. Words, voice, guitar, culturally-informed emotional expression. Printed inner sleeve with lyrics, just like the old days. Great Kim Gordon cover." - FE. |

| "Hey, smooch! The FOOLE, aka DAN IRETON, has finally come out and ended a near decade of silence and Daze on the Mounts, a spiraling three-dimensional crest of the so-called avant-folk expression, is the celebratory homecoming. Originally a limited 2004 CDR, this reissue presents the colossal side for all. In collaboration with MATT VALENTINE and ERIKA ELDER (MV/EE, BUMMER ROAD, TOWER RECORDINGS), two of modern-times purest interstellar travelers, Dredd Foole bounds between Tim Buckley-esque bellow and a hyper-extended take on the song form (a dewy mash of Ra-space and Vermont-lore) alongside environmental treatments (harmonica, synthesizer, percussion) and his own acoustic guitar work to fully transcend limitations. From the visceral 80s garage days with THE DIN to becoming a beacon for many a free folk explorer, the Foole remains a bona fide master of universal revelation." - Family Vineyard. |

Artist: FOOLE, DREDD Title: In Quest Of Tense Format: CD Label: Forced Exposure Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Dredd Foole is the name used to designate the music of Boston-area vocal/guitar artist Dan Ireton. He used to lead a band under the name Dredd Foole & the Din, recording two great, mostly neglected albums in the 80s for labels known as Homestead and PVC. It was commonly known that his band was one of the only Boston bands worth seeing post-Mission of Burma (who backed him up actually, as the original Din, on his debut single in 1982). Those records were fine for the time, but they hardly captured the full intensity-scope of the 1st-gen post-VU/Stooges blare of that band in their prime. In the late 80s Dan wisely abandoned the rock band format and has sporadically been performing a series of breathtaking shows in the otherwise ready-to-be-nuked-today local "club scene" ever since. Sometimes solo acoustic, sometimes with percussion, electric slide guitar or violin accompaniment, he sings with one of the most electrifying post-Tim Buckley vocal chords ever heard, and his concept of multiphonic non-traditional folk music with apocalyptic come-down power-appeal has finally been documented with this long overdue release. A masterpiece of personal trance-sound-vision & legitimate psychedelic space-whisper revelations, at your command." - FE. 1994 release in a stunning C.O.N.

The Whys of Fire: The idea evolved a couple years ago. Dredd was playing a lot again, after his move to Vermont, and it seemed like the time to get some of his new instant compositional gambits onto tape. It so happened that Pelt were going to be coming to town pretty soon. That seemed like a good connection. Chris and Thurston both played with Dredd already in various action units, so that made sense. Hell, it all made sense. In the way that things can on hot, buggy nights in a swamp, when theres plenty of cold beer and enough electricity to go around." - Ecstatic Yod.

Artist: FOREST Title: BBC Concert Format: LP Label: Klimt Country: France Price: $23.00 |
| "Recorded in May and October 1972 for BBC Radio 1 by DJ Bob Harris, these sessions may be all that remain of this seminal acid folk bands elusive third album! Featuring songs not heard on either one of their LPs--1969s self-titled debut and 1970s Full Circle, both on Harvest--it is speculated that many of these songs would have appeared on their imminent third album had they not been suddenly dropped from their label (due to low sales and rapidly changing musical tastes). By 1972 Dez Allenby had left the band, leaving brothers Adrian & Martin Welham as the only remaining members, although Dave Panton (viola, sax) and Dave Stubbs (bass) were brought in for their live performances. By this time, particularly on tracks like Everyday Laugh, the Welham brothers were moving more into avant-rock territory and one can only speculate on where they could have gone from here. All songs by Welham & Welham except a version of Ray Charles 1958 hit Leave My Woman Alone." -Klimt. |

Artist: FOREST Title: Forest Format: CD Label: Radioactive Country: UK Price: $17.00 |
| "New, official reissue (previous version on BGO is long gone). Like their COB reissue, this is a stepped up quality remaster from Radioactive. Originally issued by Harvest in 1969, this is one of the definite debut folk albums of all time." - FE. "As the 1960s progressed, almost every musical genre was affected by the psychedelic boom - and folk was no exception. Artists such as Bert Jansch, Davy Graham and Donovan had introduced elements of world music into their repertoires by 1965, and in 1966 the Incredible String Bands debut kicked the door wide open for a generation of young musicians to follow. Forest, whose two Harvest albums have long elated listeners and eluded collectors, featured prominently among them, and have become synonymous with so-called acid folk, inspiring - alongside Vashti Bunyan, COB and a handful of others - the current wave of successful underground folk acts. Originally called The Foresters Of Walesby the band abbreviated their name to Forest and were fortunate enough to meet John Peel at a local gig and he encouraged them to play in London. After a triumphant gig in Notting Hills All Saints Hall at Christmastime 1968, Forest were offered a management deal with Blackhill Enterprises, home to amongst others, Pink Floyd and Roy Harper. It wasnt long before offers of record contracts came their way and the band eventually signed to EMIs nascent Harvest label. This, their debut album was recorded at Abbey Road early in 1969 and featured completely original material, with their strangely-sculptured melodies and partially improvised accompaniment. The playing is often inspired and the albums recording quality excellent. Mastered at Abbey Road by NickWebb from the original analogue tapes. Featuring full participation from founding band member Martin Welham." - Radioactive. |

Artist: FOREST SWORDS Title: Dagger Paths Format: LP Label: Olde English Spelling Bee Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Wirrals Forest Swords make a textured, gauzy music as indebted to the Liverpool regions rich musical heritage as it is to the bleak-yet-beautiful coastal environment from which it was born. The result is something completely organic, sounding like a dancehall mix of Mogwais more luscious soundscapes, Burials sample-strewn claustrophobia, and Ennio Morricones spaghetti western scores. The records sweaty and thunderous dub grooves and cavernous guitar licks rub shoulders with RnB shuffles, dread-soaked percussion, and heady drones to create a visceral and epic sound. "Dagger Paths" consists of specially remastered versions of songs from the out-of-print cassette singles Miarches and Glory Gongs, along with brand new tracks. Full color pro-printed covers and insert - also includes a download coupon for the mp3 version." - OESB. |

Artist: FORMA Title: Forma Format: LP Label: Spectrum Spools Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "FORMA (Mark Dwinell, Sophie Lam, & George Bennett) emerged on the NYC minimal synth scene in 2010 with a singular vision of cosmic Krautrock for a new age. On their eponymous debut LP, the Brooklyn-based electronics trio merges the melodic flow and primitive rhythms of their motorik predecessors with the hypnotic drones of minimalism, creating an intricate work both addicting and rewarding with repeat listens. Like many of the LPs 11 tracks, the churning and relentless "FORMA237B" draws its energy from a precarious equilibrium between structural rigidity and free improvisation, a dynamic at the heart of FORMAs universe. With lush, distant soundscapes as interludes between these peaks, FORMAs inaugural full-length is a harmonious and expansive expression of the enduring power of kosmische musik. Mark Dwinell and Sophie Lam: (Roland RS-09, Roland SH-1000, Roland RE-101, Yamaha CS-15, Crumar DS-2, Oberheim SEM, DSI Morpho, Moog LP, Farfisa Compact Combo), George Bennett (Roland TR-707, Alesis HR-16B).

Artist: FORMA Title: Off/On Format: LP Label: Spectrum Spools Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "Off/On is an evolutionary act of fissure, the opening of a rift in Formas sonic landscape. The second LP from the Brooklyn cosmic synth trio of Mark Dwinell, Sophie Lam, and George Bennett, Off/Ons universe is darker, its terrain more enigmatic and aggressive than 2011s critically-acclaimed self-titled album. Recorded at the renowned Schoolhouse space in Bushwick, Off/On combines swirling arpeggios, gnarled sequences, and deconstructed motorik rhythms to conjure an atmosphere of entropic propulsion by unseen forces. Yet the emotional summits of Off/On are greater than those of its predecessor, its crystalline melodic peaks made more pronounced by the shadowed depths below. It is this synthesis that gives Off/On its singular vision; a sense of unity forged by its own inner tensions.

Artist: FORMATT Title: Re:Take_Repeat Format: CDR Label: Audiobot Country: Belgium Price: $10.00 |
| "Latest release from Belgian sound manipulator Peter Smeekins aka Formatt. A dense mix of soft droney shimmer and all manner of glitch and crunch. Imagine hearing Low or some other slow motion band through a concrete wall so thick that just the bare essence makes it through, a sort of ghostly outline, a dreamy, barely audible hum, then stretch it into a gauzy soft sound blanket and spread it out over the whole record. This soft, shimmery bed is the foundation for all of Re:Take_Repeat. Over the top of this Formatt fiddles and fidgets, like some tinkering mad scientist, glitches and crackle, bursts of shortwave interference, white noise, industrial machinery, haunting EVP-like transmissions, pops and creaks, amp buzz and distant feedback, its like some giant mysterious soundmaker upended his rusty old tool box full of sounds and dumped all of those strange sharp metallic shapes, all over the thick velvety background, like stars sparkling chaotically in the black night sky." 2006 release.

Artist: FORMER GHOSTS Title: Fleurs Format: LP Label: Upset The Rhythm Country: UK Price: $19.00 |
| "Former Ghosts is the synthpop-inspired band formed and led by Freddy Ruppert (of This Song Is A Mess But So Am I) and consisting of Jamie Stewart (of Xiu Xiu) and Nika Roza (of Zola Jesus). The album sweeps through you with its sweet melodic side, sprinkling in sharp, chaotic, discordant moments -- as if to punish you for having enjoyed yourself, for having let your guard down. Dreams plays through with melodies and textures reminiscent of early synth-pop, kept alive with the warm heart-like thumping of the synthetic kick drum. Freddys (This Song Is A Mess But So Am I) vocals crawl low through the hallucinatory soundscape, led on by the gentle buttering of Jamies back-ups in the chorus. Jamies (Xiu Xiu, etc) influence on the album enters obliquely, buttering some of the albums harder edges, organizing the sometimes disoriented moments of glitch and electro-mania. He plays an unfamiliar role -- softer, more understated (in his particular context) -- but in his familiar style. Starring solo on I Wave, youre drawn into the springy synths, cushioned by his smooth voice--the track is almost a reprieve from heavier textures found elsewhere in the album. On white vinyl." -Upset The Rhythm |

Artist: FORMERLY FAT HARRY Title: Goodbye For Good: The Lost Recordings 1969-72 Format: CD Label: Hux Country: UK Price: $19.00 |
| "Formerly Fat Harry are one the forgotten greats of late 60s British rock. The band was formed in London in 1969 by ex-Country Joe & the Fish bassist Bruce Barthol and two old friends from the Berkeley, California folk music scene, Gary Petersen and Phil Greenberg. Fat Harry was soon signed up by the original Pink Floyd management company. Playing a highly idiosyncratic brand of Americana that frequently experimented with jazz time signatures, the band played at two of the now-legendary free concerts in Hyde Park, the 1970 Bath Festival, Phun City and many of the clubs of the era such as The Marquee in London. A quartet of musicians musicians, admired by everyone from Ralph McTell to Edgar Broughton and Michael Chapman, the group made only one LP for Harvest Records before disbanding in 1972. Though reflecting their musical and songwriting abilities, that record failed to capture their true flavor. Now, this previously-unreleased collection of studio demos and live recordings (taken from the bands own archive) finally sets the record straight, delivering a heady mix of country, folk, blues and psychedelia, as well as including for the first time ever a version of their much-loved live favorite, Mariachi Riff. The accompanying 16-page CD booklet includes comprehensive liner notes, featuring interviews with the band, plus rare photographs from their own archive." -Hux |

Artist: FORMERLY FAT HARRY Title: Mariachi Riff Live And Free Music Format: LP Label: Shagrat Country: UK Price: $27.00 |
| "Second archival release in one year by this fabled late 60s band, featuring Bruce Barthol -- ex-Country Joe & the Fish. Formed in Croydon, Surrey, UK in 1969 by Barthol and two mates from Berkeley, California, Gary Peterson and Phil Greenberg, Formerly Fat Harry were managed by the legendary Blackhill Enterprises (Peter Jenner and Andrew King, original managers of the Floyd) -- they played many gigs in the UK before their demise in 1972, such as two of the Hyde Park free concerts, Phun City, and the 1970 Bath Festival, as well as many college and club gigs. The bands one and only eponymous LP on Harvest Records didnt really reflect their true capabilities (Hux released a far more interesting selection of material from the groups own archive early this year Goodbye For Good) -- a fabulous mix of country, blues and psychedelia. This Shagrat LP reflects another side of the band -- FFH could also be very experimental, playing in odd time signatures and they were completed by a series of the greatest UK jazz drummers -- Laurie Allan, Alan Jackson and John Marshall. Side two of this limited edition 500-only vinyl LP features two free music tracks recorded in 1969 -- something the band rarely did live. Side one features a 24-minute version of their much-loved favorite Mariachi Riff, which has been favorably compared to the best live work by both the Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service -- an epic acid-rock tour de force. It was recorded live at Aylesbury Friars in December 1970. The original tapes have been digitally transferred and mastered by Ron Geesin. Packaged in a beautifully mind-blowing sleeve by legendary British psychedelic designer Mike McInnerney (who designed the sleeve for The Whos Tommy), the LP comes with a nice insert with photos, gig adverts from the era and an evocative essay about the band by long-time fan, Colin Hill. Limited run of 500 copies." -Shagrat |

Artist: FORTI, SIMONE Title: An Evening Of Dance Constructions Format: DVD Label: Artpix Country: USA Price: $23.00 |
| "In the spring of 1961 Simone Forti presented a program titled Five Dance Constructions and Some Other Things in a concert series organized by her friend, composer La Monte Young, at the New York loft studio of Yoko Ono. These radically new dances created circumstances for the performers direct, non-stylistic actions. Each of the pieces was performed in a different place in the loft, with the audience moving from location to location to view them. Some of the pieces required elementary structures: a hanging rope, rectangular wooden boxes which were placed throughout the loft like a sculptural installation. In 2004 the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles invited Forti to re-create these dance constructions at the Geffen Contemporary space, in conjunction with the exhibition A Minimalist Future Art as Object 1958 1986. This DVD documents that evening and includes Huddle, Slant Board, Platforms, See Saw, Roller Boxes and Accompaniment for La Montes 2 sounds and La Montes 2 sounds. The soundtrack of La Monte Youngs 2 Sounds has been re-mastered and the composers notes accompany the video. In addition, there is a question and answer session with Forti at the conclusion of the performances." --Artpix. All Region NTSC format; total playing time: 1 hour, 28 minutes. |

"David Payne began building his Fossils empire back in 2004. Since that time Fossils has colonized the underground circuit with a steady flow of ultra-limited tapes/cdrs, many of them through Davids own Middle James Co imprint. The Fossils sound is always one of formless despair. Churning low-grade electronics, primitive tape manipulations, and an aura of stoned reverie are all genuine signatures.
Kye is pleased to offer Fossils a rare vinyl outing, showcasing two classic new works. The Golden Door delivers a lo-fi elevation over grey clouds of looping ferric tape, whilst War Puzzle could have been swept off the floor at Cold Storage - a strange and paranoid collage of crumpled guitar and collapsing sine waves. With both pieces edited/mixed by Graham Lambkin and mastered by Jason Lescalleet, this is Fossils like youve never heard them before.
The Golden Door arrives in one of three Lambkin-designed sleeves - each depicting the back of someones head, in a hand-numbered edition of only 100 copies. Dig in." -KYE

| "Kentucky native Mark Fosson recorded one album for John Faheys Takoma Records in 1976 which went unreleased until 2006. Mark recently found the home demo for that session. Heres what he has to say about them: These 11 tracks are the songs I began writing after acquiring my first 12-string guitar. I recorded them in my living room on a Pioneer RT 1050 2-track reel-to-reel with a rented microphone (I believe it was an AK6414 but I wont swear to it). All are originals except for Back In The Saddle Again which resulted from my other obsession at the time of watching old black & white Gene Autry movies any chance I could... Most of these songs would appear later in slightly altered form on The Lost Takoma Sessions, but these original versions are my personal favorites. I cant believe the tapes have survived so long and still sound as clean as the day I recorded them." -Tompkins Square. |

To many, the effect of her voice -- on record and in concert -- has been nothing short of chilling since the duos Locust debut. After a 180 degree shift in style only, Josephine Foster & the Supposed offer up a 12 cut blow out thats exuberant and hard hitting. On All the Leaves Are Gone, Josephine embraces her rock and roll heart and intuitively summons up the mojo of legendary songstress Patti Smith as she rides the crest of a fluid and angular rhythm section thats as triumphant as the sound of classic Television and trebly west coast psychedelia from decades gone by. Lyrically, stylistically and musically, this is a fearless, soon to be classic post-punk rock and roll record that delivers the goods from start to finish." - Locust |

Artist: FOTHERINGAY Title: 2 Format: CD Label: Fledgling Country: UK Price: $17.00 |
| "This is what would have been -- and now IS -- the second release for UK folk-rock legends Fotheringay, including all members Sandy Denny, Pat Donaldson, Trevor Lucas, Gerry Conway, and Jerry Donahue. These are the original recordings from 1970. Fotheringay remain one of the great might-have-beens of British music. They lasted less than a year, and released just one album, but their disappearance robbed the early 70s scene of a group of musicians capable of taking folk-rock to new heights of subtlety and musicianship. Now, the nine songs on that debut album; assumed for almost four decades to be their sole testament, are joined by the eleven that would have constituted a follow-up. Sadly, they broke up during the recording sessions for their second album. Incredibly, all the tapes survived in various record company archives. Thirty-eight years later, the surviving members of the group have mixed all the material to finally complete this remarkable album. When originally released, the debut album went straight into the Top Twenty in both Melody Maker and NME, and is now an acknowledged classic recording of British folk-rock. It is very, very rare that musicians get the chance to complete a project begun 38 years earlier. The second Fotheringay album has been eagerly awaited by all fans of Sandy Denny, British folk-rock, and by pretty much everyone in general." - Fledgling |

After her legendary tenure with Fairport Convention came to an end in 1969 (during which time she was voted Britains best singer), Sandy Denny, along with Trevor Lucas (of Eclection), decided to put together a new band. In early 1970 Fotheringay, named after a FC song (and featuring the talents of Jerry Donahue and Pat Donaldson), was born. Despite rave reviews along with the release of one excellent album for Island that same year, the band quickly fell apart due to personal reasons. These BBC sessions, recorded in April and November of 1970--and featuring amazing versions of songs like The Sea and The Ballad of Ned Kelly, from their self-titled studio album, as well as versions of songs like Eppie Moray and John The Gun, that were works in progress at the time--are a welcome compendium to their repertoire." -B13. |

They could immediately sign a contract with the Island label. On Friday, 23rd October 1970, they had a gig at the third Essen Pop & Blues festival in the Gruga Hall.

Layers of cosmic and alien sounds inhabit their own world and act as metaphors you can access subconsciously or explicitly. Clearer and more lucid than previous releases of his, this is a singular record of inner space exploration that operates completely outside the retro kraut-new age-synth trend so prevalent right now. Being more hi-fi than his past recordings, Spencer says I have made an Alien Space Fusion Music that is an Aural Symbol for the pre-birth outer space-selfs new Arrival. In this new zone, Spencer channels a more personal and spacious side of his vision, combining the rhythmic side of Monopoly Child with the abstractions of his VODKA SOAP project. This marks the first LP release on Clarks Pacific City Sound Visions label. It stands as his biggest statement yet and will surprise and please. A beautiful record. Now its yours to explore."-On location at Hotel California, Scott Simmons. |

Through most of these years, since The XX Committee days, a constant supporter and champion of my work has been the journalist Oskar Spee. I think his email sums up Jungle Fever quite well. Dear Scott, I received Jungle Fever yesterday. Many thanks. I first played it while I was cooking dinner and found it very odd and perplexing. Later, I sat down in a more relaxed set and setting and gave the recording my full attention at good volume. Astounding! Simply one of the most hallucinogenic recordings I have ever heard. All three acts have a monotony to them, but the shifting patterns under the surface are superb. I can certainly see this as a drama involving a late 19th century British explorer contracting a tropical disease. The drama is palpable. The three acts, if I may call them that, Train Journey/ Restless Natives, Delirium, and Demise are perfect. Really fine work. The strange and obsessive attention to detail of Jungle Fever really reminds me of your film. Another stone in your mighty edifice. My (our) mission continues. We should get together soon.

A lecture (Lecture Tour), a dance piece (Lessons), sound poetry (Sorry To Hear About Your Collapse) and a theatre piece (Der Saufer ). Just me, my wits, a microphone, and a backing tape. Also features my trademark temporal distortion, which is why I like to call it The Longest Half Hour In Show Business." - Pineapple Tapes. |

Artist: FOUST, SCOTT Title: The Hero Retreats From The World And Fulfillment Format: DVDR Label: Pineapple Tapes Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "Brand new DVD of my brand new solo show premiered in March 2007 at The Gladtree festival. Since there seems to be some confusion and bewilderment regarding my other solo performance, The Four Accomplishments, I thought I would explain The Hero in an attempt to clarify the processes involved. The Four Accomplishments was somewhat concerned with a live presentation of Cinema Discrepant. (The First Accomplishment, Lecture Tour, has no live sound whatsoever. This theme is continued throughout The Four Accomplishments although the sound poetry and weeping are live.) The Hero does not concern itself with this element at all except in the obvious use of the bird backing tape for my lecture that was delivered well after dark. I wanted The Hero.. to rely less on theatrical devices and more on my outstanding personality and performance skills. After the short dance introduction to set the mood, the backing tape for The Hero itself is just a somewhat oscillating synth drone that cuts out every few minutes and intensifies at the finish. Everything else is live voice and radio. The radio reception at The Tavern (The Tavern! You cant drink or smoke in there. Why not call it The Hospital?) was poor, so the radio is mostly hiss or shortwave sounds. I had specific areas for each segment of The Hero.. that I wanted to investigate. Since I am one of the best radio players in the world, the poor reception was no real hindrance. Let the viewer decide. The only thing that concerns me is results." -Pineapple Tapes. |

Artist: FOVEA HEX Title: Huge Format: CD Label: Die Stadt Country: Germany Price: $16.50 |
| "Following the critical acclaim which has greeted EP 1 Bloom, Die Stadt and Janet Records are proud to announce that Huge EP 2 in the Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent limited edition series by Fovea Hex is out. Fovea Hex continues to shape-shift and to evade & confound those who bray what exactly IS it?, and where does it BELONG exactly?, and who exactly belongs to IT?. If you must bang on the table like that, you wont hear a thing. If this music can be described as up-to-the-moment, then perhaps we could use an up-to-the-moment term like collective. But eschewing all Fashion Accessory stalls, it lives as many miles away from the shocknawe factory beloved of the avantgarde, as it does from the souvenir-strewn temple of the new nostalgics. All in all, Fovea Hex is something more akin to a labrynthine ensemble of associates, some recent, some ancient, some close to the core, some distant, some very heard-of and some never-heard-of, all of whom showed willing and able, at some point in time (and for reasons best known to themselves) to slither in and help prepare and perform these songs and quasi-songs written -- or at least started-off -- by Clodagh Simonds. Songs that dont go where you think. With voices to match... somebody said recently. At the end of the day, thats about all that CAN be said with any kind of certainty. If you need a better idea of what this means, visit the Janet Records website now, where youll find some treats we prepared earlier -- three mixes (by Andrew McKenzie) of near-moment excerpts from the songs from EP 1 Bloom and three (by Colin Potter and Clodagh Simonds) from new songs from EP 2 Huge. Players on Huge: Clodagh Simonds, Colin Potter, Roger Doyle, Cora Venus Lunny, Brian Eno, Laura Sheeran, Percy Jones, Carter Burwell, Lydia Sasse, Hugh ONeill, Sarah McQuaid. The CD comes in a full colour embossed cover. Edition of 2000 copies." - Die Stadt. |

Artist: FOWLEY, KIM Title: Outrageous Format: LP Label: Vinilisssimo Country: Spain Price: $26.00 |
| "Reissue of this 1968 wild masterpiece and third album by one of rocks true mavericks, Kim Fowley. Fowley played with many bands throughout his career -- Mothers Of Invention, Family, Soft Machine, Cat Stevens and Manfred Mann, to name just a few. On 180 gram vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve." -Vinilisssimo. "Though its Rent-a-wreck homage to the Doors, the Mothers and Jimi Hendrix is immensely satisfying in a Teddy & His Patches sort-of-way, it wasnt the music on Outrageous which still leaves 21st century listeners gasping. No no no, the genius of this 1968 album is all contained in the dizzyingly portentous and truly whacked-out vocal delivery which Fowley chooses to foist upon us, And its a delivery which, I might add, entirely pre-empted 70s Iggy Pop and must have (at least temporarily) kicked Jim Morrisons dick into the dust. And hearing the various members of Steppenwolf trying to keep up with Fowleys heart attack vocalese is mesmerizing in itself. And all this at a time when iconoclastic recording acts were commonplace enough to be almost expected." -Julian Cope. |

Artist: FOX Title: San Francisco Session Format: LP Label: Red Lounge Country: Germany Price: $25.00 |
| "Another RD Records surprise! An unreleased album from this post-Day Blindness band, recorded in 1969-70. This album is a heavy, bluesy, psychedelic masterpiece of the highest order. It is virtually the second Day Blindness album with slight personnel changes, but musically its in a more heavy psychedelic direction. The lead guitarist Gary Pihl is well known today for being the guitar player in Boston. Here he plays an amazing psychedelic guitar and it reminds us in parts of the mighty Marianis Perpetuum Mobile album. Superb bass guitar by Johnny V. Vernazza and crazy drums by Roy Garcia, who later went to play with the legendary band Gold (of Rockadelic Records fame). Only one 45 single was ever released of those fantastic sessions on Studio 10, and the single is mega rare these days. A treasure lost at the time that we are very pleased to present to you today. Deluxe gatefold cover with story and pictures. For Fans of Mariani, Groundshaker, Estes Brothers." -Red Lounge |

Artist: FRACTION Title: Moon Blood Format: CD Label: Radioactive Country: UK Price: $19.00 |
| Repressed. 2004 reissue (previously done by Flashback and Rockaway). This record is in Paul Majors "Top Five of Weird Underground Psych/Folk", as revealed in Vice magazine. "This 1971 release on the Angelus label (Angelus 571) was limited to only 200 copies, so originals are worth a small fortune. Fraction, with vocalist Jim Beach bearing an uncanny vocal resemblance to Jim Morrison (although he was singing on Sunset Strip long before Morrison took to the stage), were often compared favourably with the Doors, although their quasi-religious message would probably not have found favour with the recently-departed Morrison. Indeed, this rather fine album was once famously described as the album the Doors probably wished they had made! Underpinned by guitarist Don Swansons superb Ritchie Blackmorestyle guitar work, this is an album full of beautiful psychedelia, acid and hard rock, at once emblematic of the era but not dated by its association. The five original compositions are all of the highest quality and the contribution of Beachs Morrison-esque vocals place a stamp of originality on the recording that endures from beginning to end." -Radioactive |

There are very few albums in the psych/punk/hard rock/private presses strata that garner the sort of universal awe and accolades that FRACTIONs almighty Moonblood LP does, and even fewer records in the world that could be dubbed Christian Rock incur such fierce devotion. Indeed some records just meteorically lift themselves out any genre tag with brilliance and sheer defiance-and Moonblood is surely one of them.

Artist: FRAK Title: Muzika Electronic Format: LP Label: Digitalis Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
|
"FRAK has been around for 25 years now. They have been the talisman of Swedens inimitable Börft label since its inception. Over the course of dozens of tapes, 12"s, and full-lengths, this group has known no real boundaries. It is alien music in every sense of the word. Even if each track offers something different to the narrative, the album keeps a connective tissue running throughout. After 25 years, FRAK is showing no signs of age. Muzika Electronic is a mix of skewed dance music paired with heavy doses of modular synthesizer exploration and bizarro pop. Its all brand-new, recorded specifically for Digitalis. FRAK is constantly skirting the line between minimal dance music and noise music, often finding new and innovative spaces to occupy and exploit. Album opener "Voyage No. 1" embodies this to perfection. Slow-moving rhythms provide the backbone while looping, crusty synths spin around, spiked with dizzying, high-pitched melodies. It seems odd at first, but as an introduction to what is contained within the sonic walls of Muzika Electronic, it starts this journey off right. It flows into the deceptively catchy "Tristesse Dance" like magic. You will find yourself hooked on the cyclical bassline within a few bars. FRAKs pop sensibilities are most on display, though, with the New Order-tinged "Pulse-Crack." Wide-eyed leads mesh into the pulsating bass undercurrents, riding a blissed-out electronic wave into outer space. It is absolutely hypnotizing. The robotic vocals of "Varje Dag" and "In Order To Create" swim in a sci-fi glow. This is music that is wrestling with itself, never sure if it is searching for the future of dance music or looking back to its past. That dichotomy, though, is what drives Muzika Electronic into so many great and unexpected realms. Cut to vinyl (LOUD) by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Art by Tiny Little Hammers. Limited to 500 copies only." -Digitalis

Artist: FRANCIS, RICHARD Title: Three Tracks Format: 3" CD Label: 20 City Country: New Zealand Price: $8.00 |
| "New Zealand sound artist Richard Francis (aka Eso Steel), is the third artist released on cmr and the first 3 CD from the label. Richard has been involved with experimental music since 1996 when he began his first solo excursions (combining tape looped instrumentation with field recordings) and played in a guitar improvisation group with Birchville Cat Motels Campbell Kneale, called Small Blue Torch. His sound making since then has explored different techniques of CD sampling and abstraction, with a focus on electroacoustic collection and abstraction/manipulation of field recordings from various natural and mechanical sound sources. He has released sound works on labels such as Last Visible Dog, USA; Drone Records, Germany; Stateart, Germany; Absurd, Greece, with numerous releases on his own labels 20city and CMR, and has toured extensively in Japan, New Zealand, and most recently the West Coast of the US. Three Tracks (co-released by CMR, New Zealand and Stateart, Germany) contains three compositions recorded mid to late 2001 in Japan (where Richard formally resided) and mixed in mid 2002 in New Zealand. Using contact and stereo microphones, field audio material was gathered from organic and mechanical sources, found in both interior and exterior locations in and around Tokyo. Richard uses the subtle elements of these recordings (quiet electrical hums and crackle, amplified ambient near silences, minute occurrences) and carefully abstracts and arranges them into texturally detailed, engaging compositions. Three Tracks sits nicely in Richards catalogue of audio manipulation, following a well received 7 (under his moniker Eso Steel) on Drone Records, and an LP on 20city." - 20 City. |

The Hobbies have been known to put this into practice by taking their junk folk-instruments, boomboxes & mini-discs outside, gathering in canyons, creek beds, backyards, and on porches & beaches.

Artist: FRANK (JUST FRANK) Title: The Brutal Wave Format: CD Label: Wierd Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "Wierd Records proudly presents the debut album from Frank(just Frank) from Paris, France entitled The Brutal Wave. The Brutal Wave draws from many rich traditions of US and UK guitar driven wave, minimal synth, early black metal and new indie rock from Brooklyn respectively - layering lush washes of atmospheric anglophilic guitars above a warmly orchestral analogue synth and drum machine fueled minimal electronic backdrop. Equally of disparate origins are the band members themselves, Chris was born in New Jersey and grew up with half-Indian Kirti in the South of France, although both were schooled in London. Despite such varied influences and backgrounds, Frank(just Frank) indeed proudly embrace the French pop musical tradition and present a freshly recontextualized version of the french cold wave sound, which might well be most appropriately called ‘La Vague Froide Moderne in 2010. The album presents a carefully crafted set of nine trax in which shiver-inducing swathes of guitars, restrained and mournful, battle alongside and often it seems directly against bitingly insistent vocals, that effortlessly switch between French and English. No lyrical themes are off limits for the apparently fearless young band, as the poetically flowing voice espouses tales ranging from provocatively centrist takes on international politics to vulnerably personal epics of heartbreak and addiction, and these tensions between right and left, darkness and light, and private versus public consistently replay themselves throughout the record, both in the lyrical content and the musical dynamics at work. This powerfully emotional record is made with simultaneous confrontation and restraint, as well as viscerally sensitized homemade DIY intimacy and feverishly swaggering aggression, and it is this balancing act and interplay of extremes that Frank(just Frank) harnesses to carve out The Brutal Wave!" - Wierd. |

Artist: FRANK ALPINE Title: S/T Format: CD Label: Wierd Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "Beyond its facade as the fountainhead of American cultures glitz and glamour, Los Angeles has always had equally, if not often more alluring underbelly. Skid row squalor, gang wars, excesses of all varieties, and the stench of vanity gone awry permeate the city, poised to overtake the shimmering mirage of Hollywood idealism. Frank Alpines eponymous debut for Wierd Records is LA noir at its finest: a frenzy of claustrophobic, danceable dread that skirts the line between outer-directed nihilistic aggression and fragrant introversion. Nocturnal synthesizers, isolated, frenetic, and monotonous, plot a destination either to somewhere new and uncertain, or perhaps to nowhere at all. Frank Alpine is the alias of Rich Moreno, a veteran of LAs punk and darkened indie underground scenes, as well as a former member of New Collapse and The Boy Scouts of Annihilation. Alpine uses only consumer Casio synths to create a sound thats so thick and so harsh at times, to call it lo-fi would be to suggest something far weaker than the sounds themselves express. And while the atmosphere and gritty electronics might hearken to certain strains of industrial music or power electronics, the decided pep of the songs, and their almost blues-like simplicity situate Alpines music much more squarely in the realms of punk and even old-fashioned rock and roll. Whether "No Exit" intends to reference Sartres existential drama is irrelevant; the mood conjured is apropos of a post-death limbo. The albums second track, "Heart is Grey" finds Alpine crying out the songs title ad infinatum, as if to take the tired tropes of mope rock and give them new life as the ritualistic refrain of a headbanging electropunk dirge. And the wordless, relentlessly menacing "Through Your Window" invites one to nervously contemplate the voyeurism suggested by the songs title. Whats being seen, and by whom? Fascinating, yet remarkably uncomplicated tricks such as these carry Frank Alpines brand of minimal electronics to areas both cerebral and viscerally primal. While many contemporary electronic artists sound hints, however heavily or slightly, towards a European sensibility, Frank Alpine lives more in the realm of David Lynchs disturbed Americana, or the sinister aggression of No Wave. Somewhere between the warped intensity of the former and the acidic straightforwardness of the latter, Alpine has carved out his distinctive space: an eccentric loner squealing from inside the decay, making noise with a pulse thats paranoid and mechanical, yet unmistakably human." -Wierd |

Artist: FRANKLIN Title: Life Circle Format: Double LP Label: Cocodrilo Country: Spain Price: $45.00 |
| "Franklin were one of the first underground bands from Spain, formed in the late 60s by some of the best musicians based in Madrid at the time. Fuelled by the killer guitars of Pablo Weeber and Antonio Gª De Diego, they only recorded two sought after & excellent hard-psych 45s (the first one, containing their psyched to the max cover of the Stones Satisfaction was recently included on the Andergraun Vibrations comp). In 1974, the band recorded a whole album which was never released until now. Their new line-up for those sessions featured two drummers and a new keyboard player. Life Circle is a conceptual album which sounds more prog-rock than their previous 45s, in fact we must say this is a must for anyone into Spanish progressive sounds. Nine tracks full of hard guitar, mini-Moog, Mellotron, analog keyboards, some spacey and experimental-symphonic passages, English vocals. Titles like Renaissance, Intro for Cosmic Body, Takeoff. Double vinyl set, 500 copies limited, featuring the whole Franklin output: their two 45s, the unreleased Life Circle album remastered from the master tapes and a couple of rare live tracks. Includes insert with liner notes and photos."-Cocodrilo |

| "This beautiful collection of Canadian psych-folk swiftly came and went in 1971, but has since acquired a devoted cult following. A haunting set of self-penned tunes set to esoteric arrangements featuring gloriously unpredictable fiddle-playing, it makes its long-overdue CD debut here and is sure to delight fans of The Incredible String Band and the Holy Modal Rounders, as well as more recent acts like Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom." - Fallout."Its hard to find another record that is so unanimously treasured by the rare people who have heard it, and has had such a huge influence on so many while being heard by so few." - The Acid Archives. "One of the many sad secrets of the popular music business is the way this little gem languished in obscurity. It should have been heard by millions, but disappeared at the height of psychedelia." - All Music Guide. |

Artist: FREE AGENTS Title: 3.33 Format: LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "Drag City presents reissues of the avant-garde DIY label Groovy founded by PETE SHELLEY (BUZZCOCKS) and FRANCIS COOKSON. FREE AGENTS was the first of the lot, with an album named after its price, 3.33. Cookson took live performance tapes from a TILLER BOYS show (a conceptual band featuring himself, ERIC RANDOM, and, when available, Shelley) and added some additional recordings using tape loops, feedback and anything else he could get on there. It ranged around from post -"Revolution 9" collage to wack beats that one might associate with the emergent krautrock to stark industrial moments, flowing into each other with an organic, freely improvised quality. Packaged in 12" sleeves with photocopies of Cookson scribbles pasted on the front and back, Free Agents was DIY all the way." -Drag City. |

Artist: FREEDOMS CHILDREN Title: Astra/Battle Hymn of the Broken Hearted Horde/Galactic Vibes Format: 3CD Boxset Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $58.00 |
| " Deluxe 3CD box set edition of these albums, previously issued on vinyl by Shadoks. These 3 CDs will also be available separately, but this version puts these together in a heavy cardboard box, like the Blops CD on Shadoks. This box set edition is limited to 300 copies. Shadoks Music presents all three records by Freedoms Children, now collected together, after two years of struggle and hard work with tons of help from collectors in South Africa, England, Austria and the U.S.A. Since all mastertapes were lost in a big fire, they had to be mastered from the original vinyl, using two or three mint copies of each album to make the best possible sounding product. All three albums are the most wanted albums ever from South Africa. Some call them "The Pink Floyd of South Africa," and if the political situation in S.A. at that time would have been easier, they would have had the same status in the international music market as Pink Floyd. Beautifully composed songs, amazing instrumentation, well-crafted guitar work and great singers. The extra-heavy prog sound beats most albums in the same direction coming from the UK or U.S.A. Three absolute masterpieces."- Shadoks. |

Artist: FREEMAN SOUND & FRIENDS Title: Heavy Trip Format: CD Label: World In Sound Country: Germany Price: $20.00 |
| "World In Sound presents another group that represents the late 60s, early 70s heavy psychedelic era scene in northeast Ohio, USA (the same region that Dragonwyck is from). Having won the Starshine Productions Battle of the Bands in 1970, the five-member Freeman Sound was established as the most popular of several bands (including Morly Grey), that had records released on the Starshine label. This special collection of original songs and sounds is an exciting bit of rock history that documents some of the charm, wit and depth of talent that made Freeman Sound the special local phenomenon they were. This release includes 12 great, quality tracks with bio and photos. Youll get stoned on some mind-bending vocals backed by instrumentation that includes some very intense, heavy fuzz and wah pedal guitar sounds, solid drums and a screaming organ (with flashes of famous British groups such as Spooky Tooth). Prepare to get off on cuts like the 17 minute Heavy Trip #70, the Hendrix-like Tomorrow Is Plastic and what we would venture to say is the heaviest version of Merle Travis 16 Tons ever recorded. This band broke up before they were able to make the most of their popularity. With this previously unreleased album, they may be taking up where they left off. For fans of intelligently executed psychedelic hard rock and pop with a message." - World In Sound. |

| "Freiband is Frans de Waards solo computer music project. Frans joined IFCO for a short European tour and these recordings "should be seen as a remix of Idea Fire Company from March 2006". Two side-long (39 39" each) tracks. Faster But Slower is a beautiful sad shimmering piece that slowly, very slowly, changes. Active, but stuck in a cotton-wrapped slow motion world. A Solo Duo is darker and starker, and contains additional active elements. The last half hour of a spaceman: engines droning, electromagnetic distortions on the radio. Lonely and alone. Excellent! And, a fine cover painting- an expressionist work by Elise de Waard." - Pineapple Tapes. |

Artist: FRENCH PADDLEBOAT Title: Rome Loves Tan Format: LP Label: Catsup Plate Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "Rome Loves Tan," though just now getting a vinyl release, was originally released in 1996 as a small-edition cassette on the esteemed Union Pole label. F.P. was never quite happy with some of the idiosyncrasies of the record, but later Paddleboat recordings and his work as one-half of Vote Robot commanded his attention and the songs were left as-is until now. This new version of Rome represents a more fully realized vision than the original tape did: F.P. tightened up and reworked the songs and loops. One song was replaced with a more fully realized piece ("Indication of Motion," track 3, side 2). In a sense, this version offers insight into both the earlier work of French Paddleboat, as well as what hes up to now. Edition of 300 copies in "paint-by-number" silkscreened jackets." - Catsup Plate. |

Frequency Curtain formed as a collaborative performance group, for an independent experimental media showcase in Austin, Texas known as Intersect 4. The Frequency Curtain debut (at Intersect 4) was on August 25th of 2001. In order to prepare for the performance, the group held a series of private improvisation sessions for two months prior to the event. What resulted was a highly charged interplay of analog and digital electronic sounds. The four tracks on this CD are excerpts from extended improvisation sessions. This compact disc is packaged in two beautiful heavy-paper sleeves, in an edition of 528 copies." |

Artist: FRESH & ONLYS Title: Grey-Eyed Girls Format: LP Label: Woodsist Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "When Tim Cohen told Shayde Sartin he was writing a song called Be My Hooker, the Fresh & Onlys bassist looked at the singer/guitarist and said, Theres no way were gonna have a song with that title, dude, explains Sartin. But sure enough, he laid a riff down and I was like, Jesus christ, I cant believe you pulled something meaningful out of such a stupid line. Welcome to the push/pull dynamic thats fueled the Fresh & Onlys steady stream of releases over the past year, including last springs self-titled LP (Castle Face) and Grey-Eyed Girls (Woodsist). And to think it all started the old-fashioned way -- with Sartin and Cohen simply hanging out after work, playing their favorite punk (Buzzcocks, The Mekons) and classic rock (Country Joe and the Fish, cued up alongside slabs of psych from the groups homebase, San Francisco) records alongside a growing collection of empty beer cans. I cant really explain what happened or why, says Sartin. I guess we listened to records until we were on the same page, and from that point on, we never stopped recording. As simple as all of that sounds, the duo first bought a tape machine five years ago. When that failed to produce any concrete cuts, Cohen focused on his previous avant-pop band, Black Fiction, and Sartin split his time between session and live work for such bands as the Skygreen Leopards, Papercuts and Citay. Not to mention his close friend Kelley Stoltz, who ended up releasing the first Fresh & Onlys 7" (the limited Imaginary Friends EP) in early 2008. With so much music hitting shops in such a short time (Sartin says the band already has boxes of backlogged tapes), you might think the Fresh & Onlys camp have a problem with quality control. Quite the contrary; Sartin and Cohen are very careful about what they release. And while the duo writes and records the bands songs, the arrangements are usually fleshed out with guitarist Wymond Miles, drummer Kyle Gibson, and backup singer Heidi Alexander. If we take a song into the studio or a live setting and it doesnt have wings, says Sartin, Then we just ditch it and keep the charming demo version. The final mix of Grey-Eyed Girls sounds like a natural bridge between the raucous garage rock of the groups debut and the full-on studio record they plan on wrapping for In the Red later this year. That goes for the galloping grooves of Happy To Be Living, the shadowy post-punk of Invisible Forces, and the firework finale freak-outs that drive The Delusion of Man. Not to mention a stack of hook-slinging tracks that nix any shitgaze assumptions you may have. Were not trying to hide melodies or do the blown-out thing, says Sartin. A lot of those bands are great, but I dont want to ever cater to whats popular. Its not that Im being reactionary; were just trying to make recordings that are as rich and ear-friendly as possible. Its working." - Woodsist. |

"With their hallucinogenic brand of garage rock and eerie backing female vocals, THE FRESH & ONLYS are reminiscent of San Franciscos earlier Haight & Ashbury ancestors. Their music takes it easy and lets the rock-out take a backdrop to their swooning, heavy-set garage rock vocals, simple but strong chord progressions, all coated in droplets of keyboards and undemanding drums. They are set to tour with Thee Oh Sees early this year and have opened for psychedelic soul legend Rodriguez."-Caroline Partamian (Noisepop).

| "In The Red is proud to announce the release of the new full-length from San Franciscos FRESH AND ONLYS, Play It Strange. After two albums (on Castle Face and Woodsist, respectively) and too many singles and EPs to count, The Fresh and Onlys deliver their most solid outing yet. Recorded by studio whiz TIM GREEN during an eight-day session, Play It Strange marks the bands first recording in an actual recording studio. On two-inch analog tape! The results are nothing short of incredible. For those unfamiliar with The Fresh and Onlys, their sound draws from jangly psychedelia, Morricone-style Western twang, dark vibes a la Bad Seeds / Gun Club, melodic 60s sunshine pop and a hint of garage rock swagger. While this disparate list may look strange on paper, it makes perfect sense when you hear it. Play It Strange is the sound of a band that has ingested a wide range of rock n roll influences from nearly every genre and sub-genre to come up with something fresh and enjoyable. LP includes digital download." - In the Red. |

Fresh Maggots were just two people, Mick Burgoyne and Leigh Dolphin. They played acid folk-rock with electric and acoustic guitar, glockenspiel, tambourine, violin, tin whistles and vocals. The original vinyl is very much sought-after today, so this reissue will help to get a vinyl of Fresh Maggots for a reasonable price today. 180-gram-vinyl and great sound-quality!

| New solo outing by Keith Freund (of Akron, Ohio based husband and wife duo Trouble Books), coinciding with the bands recent collaboration with Emeralds Mark McGuire. "Reacting to the sounds around him, words said in passing, shards of birdsong, a glint of breeze and kids at play, Freund stands at the center to create gentle meanderings to add as his part of the symbiotic conversation. The soothing sun is recorded alongside soft voices; the intake of a breath mixes with laughter of children. The album can be understood as a dialogue between the small moments occurring around us and our natural response within the ongoing discussion. Existing outside space and time, each rotation of the record brings the listener some place new or imagined, where beauty overwhelms, an everlasting hum envelops us, and we saunter along as present as well ever be." - Experimedia. |

| LP version. "From out of the Great Republic of Texas, and a new side project from Tom Carter (Charalambides), rises a lone star called Friday Group. In a seemingly appropriate gesture, the opening scherzo of droney solo guitar twang blows dusty debris across the speakers, as if a small sand storm in a remote part of Amarillo. With wind wrestling loose gutters and flat chimes, the first movement is almost a weird paean to Ry Cooders desolate Paris Texas score. Axe attacks hover thick and dragging in the hazy distance, strings sounding as if played a single wind at a time. Jittery, slithery, prepared warbled tremolos flutter warm in extended notes that drip like old paint. If youve never had the pleasure, the later addition of harmonium and the further devolution of the guitar into howling halos of rusty hinges is virtually the embodiment of a drive through western Texas. Slow motion, spacious landscapes of thirsty air and lazy lizards." - Beta-Lactam Ring. |

Artist: FRIEDMAN, RUTHANN Title: White Dove/Motorcycle Madness Format: 7" Label: Ether Country: USA Price: $7.00 |
| "Ruthann Friedman wrote the early bubble-pop anthem Windy for The Association while crashed out on Crosbys couch, swung with Zappas crew, and she almost got that Jefferson Airplane vocalist slot before bitch goddess Grace slunk in. Ruthanns 1970 LP, Constant Companion is a recording of sublime beauty and abstract folky ruminations which shouldve sent ol Joni running to Essra Mohawk and Judee Sill for consolation (and inspiration!) -- but sadly recognition was a long time in coming. Friedmans lone 45, Carry On (Glittering Dancer) is another bit of genius, fleshed out by captivating Van Dyke Parks arrangements a la Smile or Song Cycle. The two tracks on this single arent as densely arranged as that, certainly more of a piece with Constant Companion than the Hurried Life demos collection that came out in 2006 on Water. Still, any further recordings from this era should be recognized as a godsend... like these two! The A side, White Dove, is Ruthann naked amongst spiraling acoustic beauty, while the B is a rip-snortin west-coast style groover that sounds like Moby Grape or Big Brother (or late West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band!) backing one bad-ass biker mama." -Ether |

| "Exact repro reissue; originally issued on RCA in 1969. This is a true classic curio in the RCD catalog, with a look signifying a shared attitude with early Jefferson Airplane -- is an experimental free-jam LP with real musique concrete zonk... Officially the group was made up of ex-members of Paul Revere & The Raiders -- Drake Levin, Phil Volk & Michael Smith -- who had formed a group called Brotherhood who released two albums for RCA. In between those two releases, the trio teamed up with a few session musicians as Friendsound, releasing Joyride. This record isnt as good as After Bathing at Baxters -- because, frankly, nothing is. But its got the same spirit and a lot of the same effects -- swiped a year and a half later. A tribute? Or just an annoyance to JA (who could never realistically follow up Baxters?? If you want acid rambling about rhubarb pie, this record delivers in spades. Why it exists, or why it has been reissued -- the mystery continues." |

Artist: FROLKHAVEN Title: At The Apex Of High Format: LP Label: Apex Country: Price: $17.00 |
|
"Boot repro of a privately pressed USA "crude psych" album from the early 70s, recorded in Berkeley, CA. Although this record has received certain collectable notoriety due to the presence of drummer Stewart Copeland, its pure aura of primitive graphics and sound make it more than worthwhile. Mainly a basement studio duo effort created betwixt Charles Pegasus Pendergrass III (on guitars, bass, clarinet, vocals, electronic effects) and Stewart (drums), this has rightly been described as "a fidelity masterpiece of lost-time space transcendence. Recalling some of the work of the Savage Sons of Ya Ho Wa, the sputtered first LP by French dog-progsters Mahogany Brain, the Godz."

Fuzz bass, fuzz drums, fuzz harmonica, and a guitar sound like Mark Farner doused in gasoline & set aflame. If Vincebus Eruptum-era Blue Cheer always sounded "too refined"to your ears, "Heavy Encounter" just may be the ticket. Housed in a mini-lp style cardboard jacket, with full lyric sheet & hilariously stoned interview. 5 tracks, 42 minutes." - Elefantplatte.

2012 Repress. "Previously reissued on CD by Sunbeam, now issued in a limited, deluxe audiophile Sunbeam Masters vinyl edition; 180 gram pressing. One of the most enigmatic albums of all time and the very epitome of "acid folk," Dreaming With Alice is firmly established as one of the worlds most sought-after records. Recorded when Mark Fry was still a teenager, and only released in Italy in 1972, Dreaming With Alice is a beguilingly strange and melodic song cycle echo, with fuzzed wah-wah guitar and backwards tapes that has been much bootlegged but never officially reissued... until now. Complete with rare photographs and liner notes by Fry himself, this is an essential purchase for all fans of psychedelic singer/songwriting. This limited special edition is manufactured to the highest standards in a hand-numbered edition of 1000, pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl and comes housed in a thick card sleeve with pasted slicks. Included is a 12-page large-format full-color booklet with previously-unseen memorabilia and photographs from the artists private collection." -Sunbeam. Very highly recommended!!

Artist: FUCHS, LIMPE Title: Vogel Musik Format: CD Label: Robot Country: USA Price: $15.50 |
| "Performing in the late 1960s and through the early 80s as half of the German duo Anima (with Paul Fuchs), Limpe Fuchs continues to explore music-making as a part of everyday life. Her vibrant live performances are numerous and consist of solo as well as ongoing collaborative works. With her new release, Vogel Musik (or Bird-music), Limpe is heard performing a series of duos with multi-instrumentalist Christoph Reiserer (saxes/clarinet). The duo then extends to a trio with Julia Schoelzel (on piano), featuring a piece recorded at Musikfest, Munich, in 2004. The themes that developed from these recent recordings revealed a beautiful and bizarre series of compositions that have now been collected on CD for the first time. Using her voice and violin, along with a vast assortment of custom and homemade percussion instruments, Limpes work emits a remarkable sense of space and otherworldly atmosphere that one may liken to acts in musical theatre. Vogel Musik takes flight with a fresh set of utterly unique pieces from a true musical visionary. Packaged in a full-color digipak with illustrations by Christoph Heemann." -Robot. |

Coming from the revolutionary sixties freak scene in Germany Fuchs still plays with the same energy on her self-built instruments consisting of impressive bronze and stone sculptures. This concert evolves around Fuchs creatures, her viola, Hermans diy duchampwheel, alt sax and expressive vocal interplay. A truly wonderful live experience captured for the cult archives." - Kraak.

Artist: FUCHSIA Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Klimt Country: France Price: $25.00 |
| "Fuchsias 1971 LP is a lost gem of experimental British progressive rock (in the vein of Henry Cow and Comus). Fuchsia was formed by lead singer and guitarist Tony Durant during his days at Exeter University. Wanting to write songs outside of the standard pop format, Durant had the innovative idea of bringing in an all-female string section, which included fellow Exeter students, Madeleine Bland (cello), Janet Rogers (violin), and Vanessa Hall-Smith (viola). Fuchsias self-titled first (and last) album was recorded in summer of 1971, and the band (all students) was determined to tour during their next holiday. But the best laid plans often come undone, and Fuchsia soon dissolved with Durant eventually moving to Australia." -Klimt. |

Year of the Pig is an 18-minute 34-second long prog-punk masterpiece featuring lush piano and organ arrangements by MAX DANGER (THE DEADLY SNAKES) and guest vocals by Torontos JENNIFER CASTLE. Year of the Pig starts with gentle guitar and soothing organ before heading into darker territory with gruff male vocals offset by Castles angelic singing and a meandering bass line. Its not until a full 7-and-a-half minutes in that the track explodes into a Keith Moon-esque drum workout, which is followed by a one note Neu! trick that builds up to a thrash attack.

Artist: FUCKIN FLYIN A-HEADS Title: Swiss Cheese Back Format: 7" Label: Destijl Country: USA Price: $6.00 |
| "THE FUCKIN FLYIN A-HEADS were a band from Hawaii most commonly construed as "punk", tho they might provide one of the more exciting links between a more typified conception of "punk", and that of "noise". If the A-side of this hybrid genre is the final aggregate regimented elements of deconstructed hard core that Harry Pussy by way of Magic Band displayed, the flip is the excess of Experience inspired freedom and recklessly abandons anything that even vaguely resemble "form". Perhaps the most radically mixed recording, ever (to the extent that you might wonder if they just fucked up, or were working with a broken machine). A completely astounding spin. Their first review is a riot : from Damage Magazine, DEC 1980: White noise this pure must take lots of to work to perfect. Somewhere far away there is a 60s endless guitar solo, bass playing 2 notes, a cymbal being hit at a constant 2 / 4 beat, and a distorted voice talking. But mostly there is white noise, simultaneously complex and simple. Its quite disturbing when cranked up. I like to play this record and watch TV. It instantly gives a surreal sense to the most mundane images. Not recommended for anyone with high blood pressure. -- M.C. Parker" - Destijl. Very highly recommended! |

Artist: FUJIEDA, MAMORU Title: Obscure Tape Music of Japan Vol. 11: Radiated Falling Format: CD Label: Omega Point Country: Japan Price: $27.00 |
| "Mamoru Fujieda is a Japanese post-minimalist composer, and Edition Omega Point releases some of his work from the early 80s. Both "Radiated Falling" (1980) and "The Art Of Fugue" (1981) are tape compositions in which sound materials of a prepared piano are electronically-processed and modulated in various ways. "Radiated Falling" is based on "Falling Scale No. 2" for piano (1975). The series of works entitled "Falling Scale" are composed almost entirely of descending scales as their structural elements. In these works, patterns are automatically produced by the difference in the number of scale tones or through the temporal discrepancy made when the tones descend. In "Falling Scale No. 2," a spiral line is successively transformed. The artist piled up the spiral line in several layers with the uneven timbres of the prepared piano producing sound materials for "Radiated Falling." The sound materials were then transformed to layered sonic textures through the ring modulator, the phase shifter, the harmonizer, and various delay processes. "The Art of Fugue" is based on a simple fugue in four voices from the first piece in The Art Of Fugue by J. S. Bach. The four voices were randomly cut into fragments, which were then reassembled to form four new voices. Each of the voices played by a differently prepared-piano was recorded on a multi-track recorder to produce sound materials for the piece. The sound materials for the prepared piano were then electronically-modulated and spatially processed. The randomly cut fragments of the fugue are interwoven at different tempos to make it "The Art Of Fugue" on the brink of collapse." -Edition Omega Point |

This work made of pieces from J.S.Bachs "The Art of Fugue", and their pieces goes on individual pulse. Its reminded us of Steve Reichs early phase music.

Ort, represents a unique blend of musical styles, from hillbilly/country & western to contemporary minimal, with shades of art-rock.

| "The unlimited charm of Texas strikes again as FUNGI GIRLS release their first 7-inch single this month, following up an impressive 12-inch EP debut on Play Pinball! Records last fall, both of which will have you twitching with unexpected enthusiasm. The guys that comprise this power trio are all still barely over the legal driving age, but still not even close to the drinking age, so when the surprising and wise-beyond-their-years modern psychedelic/gaze sounds first bolted from our speakers, we had to do something about it. Their first impression sits heavily on the unique and subdued vocals that seem to lightly hover over the hazy, yet complex arrangements, forming an incredibly atmospheric blast that doesnt really sound like anything else. These promising teenagers somehow harness the confidence and proclivity to emulate compelling mid-tempo lo-fi pop songs that eerily deliver hooks that stick, and come out with a sound all their own that youll no doubt be hearing more of soon. Look for the Fungi Girls full length LP on HoZac to hit record stores later this year, and dive into their world head-first with this seductive single. 500 on black." -Horizontal Action |

Artist: FURSAXA Title: Alone In The Dark Wood Format: CD Label: ATP Country: UK Price: $15.00 |
| "This is the fifth full-length release from West Philly-based solo artist Tara Burke aka Fursaxa, her second for the All Tomorrows Parties label. Boasting a fan base with the likes of Bardo Pond, Acid Mothers Temple and Thurston Moore who released a record by her on his Ecstatic Peace! imprint two years ago, Burke is now one of the epicentres and key collaborators of the North American free-folk movement, along with such luminaries as Jack Rose, Charalambides, Ben Chasny and the Jewelled Antler Collective. With her hypnotic, echo-y churchbell chanting, Burke possesses a power-filled vocal sound that harkens back not only to those other polar queens of disaffected freakout psychedelia Nico and Barbara Manning, but she is also akin to and inspired by Hildegard von Bingen, the 12th-century Benedictine mystical abbess. With the low drone of chord organ and farfisa, detuned ringing guitar, and endlessly looped, multiply-tracked vocals applied with heaps of delay, Fursaxa sounds like a tripped-out medievalist perched upon a poppy petal. Alone in the Dark Wood, recorded half in Pennsylvania, half in Finland, evokes pale moonlight and deep shadows, where tree limbs bend to form cathedral arches over a procession of mystics. Disembodied female voices rise like sacral fire-smoke amongst the strum of mandolin, balalaika, and the pipers call of bells and flute-whistle. At some turns mournful and stark, at others a celebratory invocation, Alone in the Dark Wood displays Burkes alchemical knack for turning folk into lo-fi, and then into sheer psych and back again, but more importantly, her music is pure humming narcosis." - ATP |

This hour plus selection of live material captures Fursaxa at her very best, and will hopefully make believers of those who havent yet had a chance to catch her during her tours.

In the summer of 2008 Fursaxa started recording her seventh full length record Mycorrhizae Realm at Hexham Head studio in Philadelphia. This studio recording is a first, as all of the previous releases have been recorded at home on a four track. In addition to recording, Fursaxa has played live music at venues in the US, UK, and Europe, touring with Bardo Pond, Black Forest/Black Sea, Christina Carter, Jack Rose, Spires That in The Sunset Rise, and Brightblack Morning Light to name a few. Over the last couple of years Fursaxa has been collaborating more and more with other musicians as well. Espers member Helena Espvall and Tara have a duo called Anahita, and Sharron Kraus and Tara have the duo Tau Emerald. And in September of 2006 Fursaxa became part of The Valerie Project, which was a live soundtrack for the 1970 Czech film Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders. Tara really enjoyed playing with these musicians and decided to engage Greg Weeks, Mary Lattimore, and Helena Espvall, all fellow Valerians, for her next album. Greg recorded the album at his studio, Mary played harp on 4 songs and also co-wrote 2 of the songs, and Helena played cello on 3 songs. It is an exercise in symbiosis." - ATP. |

One of not just a few of the minimal synth couple outfit armies to emerge from New Yorks ever living and breathing clan of the same epithet, this masculine/feminine dream drone dichotomys synthesized incantations drift like gleaming analog jewels of dark incandescent dance dew. Voices with the echoes of youth sung wistfully into in the well and steeped in the myst of minor discord float inside Familiar Flights." -La Maladie Tropicale. |

Artist: FURUSAWA & KAN MIKAMI, RYOJIRO Title: Buriki/Tin Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $20.00 |
| "A sparse and stripped-back yet fully-impassioned meditation on time, history and freedom. Surreal folk meets free jazz. Two tracks, including a 24-minute, one-take masterpiece. Ryojiro Furusawa is one of Japans most respected jazz drummers, having played from the late 60s with everyone from Yosuke Yamashita and Sadao Watanabe to Yuji Imamura, Maki Asakawa and Shang Shang Typhoon. Hes also been a long-time collaborator with Kan Mikami, appearing on Kans Bang! album in 1974. Kan Mikami is Japans wisest and wildest folk-poet, a surreal master of the non-sequitur blues, a worldclass howler of truth and passion. This is the duos third album, following Shokugyo (1987) and Dereki (2007). Gatefold high-gloss papersleeve, including lyrics in Japanese and English." -Alan Cummings |

Artist: FUSHITSUSHA Title: 1978: Eien no ho ga saki ni te o dashita no sa Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $20.00 |
| "From 1978, the earliest group recordings by Fushitsusha yet to be released. A vital document for understanding the Japanese underground and the truest, most exciting rock group of the contemporary era. Now heres something unexpected and utterly fascinating. The earliest years of Fushitsusha have long been shrouded in mystery, palely illumined by only the dimmest of rumours and half-facts. As a live entity the group seems to have begun sometime in 1978 (also the year that Friction, Japans first punk group formed), initially in a couple of strange duo line-ups, one of which included Tamio Shiraishi on synth. But soon after that it took on the familiar rock trio form, with Jun Hamano (of the legendary acid-splatter group Gaseneta) on bass, and a shady character called Takashima on drums. This version of the group lasted for about a year before falling apart, and documentation was pretty much non-existent. Until now. On the usual all-black textured paper gatefold, the only distinguishing mark is a small silver 1978. Unchanging timelessness is one of Fushitsushas most salient characteristics, and this release reveals that the groups radical dissection of rock rhythm, fracturing of attack and summoning of vibration was born entirely fully-formed. That the group has retained an identical level of intensity, experimentation and commitment for twenty-five years is a truly a testament to something. Either way, this is one more piece of a puzzle too vast to be grasped in its entirety by anyone other than Haino. And further proof, as if any was needed, that Fushitsusha are the most exciting rock group of the contemporary era. For those that pay attention to such things, the title means something approximately like It was eternity that reached out its hand first?" |

Artist: FUSHITSUSHA Title: 1991.9.26 19:15-20:08 Format: DVD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $25.00 |
|
NTSC region free. "26th September 1991 saw a titanic showdown at the Shibuya La Mama club in Tokyo. Keiji Hainos tumultuous Fushitsusha brought their epochal de/re-construction of rock to ringside to tussle it out with John Zorns international hardcore skronk trio Pain Killer. The night was being documented for a Pain Killer live album (released as Rituals), which meant that Fushitsusha got to benefit from an unusually high-quality recording. Previously available as a PSF video, but out of print for the last few years on that unwieldy medium, this is the document of Fushitsushas jaw-dropping set that night -- and still the only official Fushitsusha visuals available. A digest-sized version of everything that is great about the group, somehow squeezing the Grand Canyon breadth and depth of Hainos ambition into a far shorter set than they usually play. Raining down like manna from heaven for the converted, 53 minutes worth of prime Fushitsusha live, loud and leveling. What more do you need to know?" - Alan Cummings.

Artist: FUSHITSUSHA Title: Origins Hesitation Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
|
"Expectations exploded, intentions fleetingly revealed, faith justified. A new album from Keiji Hainos Fushitsusha is always going to be a major event. And to make the release of Origins Hesitation even more significant, it is the first new album from the group in almost two years, the first studio recordings by the new duo line-up, and the first Fushitsusha album on PSF since 1994s stunning Pathetique. The popular perception of Fushitsusha has usually been as a rock band, albeit one that pushed the definition of that term further than anyone had ever done before. While the groups approach has always been (and remains) rock to the core, the outside manifestation of those intentions have gradually moved further and further away from the rock framework. Shockingly, on this release, Haino takes the process to its natural conclusion and has decided to eschew the guitar entirely. In its place, nothing but the eerily empty hiss of overdriven amplification. Here Haino sings, plays drums, and conjures with spectres. Consequently, the sound palette is starker, and Hainos intentions plainer than they have ever been before. The no overdubs policy remains, though both Haino and bassist Ozawa work with realtime loops. The unique dynamic hallmarks of the group are preserved, the focus on individual sounds and their interaction underlined. Attack, duration, beginnings and endings all merge into one heartrending, emotionally eternal present. This is a hugely important, hauntingly insistent, spectral blast of a record. Quite simply and beyond any doubts, one of the releases of the year." - Alan Cummings.

Artist: FUTURE BLONDES Title: Vila Gok 2 Format: Cass Label: Robert & Leopold Country: USA Price: $6.00 |
| "Limited to 100 copies. With only a few sporadic recordings to document the hyperdelia nosebleed fixture that is the nomadic force of Future Blondes, only a select few have actually witnessed the collective myth that is only enhanced by the renegade trip that has been crafted by outsider artist Domokos and his Future Blondes creation. Previous endeavors with Helios Creed and current duties as evangelist for Rusted Shut, Future Blondes is a step sideways and around. This limited edition cassette documents one of their few live recordings to which Future Blondes have seen their sound evolve into part dance / part happening / part metaphysical freak out, taking place, with the help of Book of Shadows, at the Body Control performance space in Austin, TX of 10. Backside of this release switches gears in reverse to a previously unheard studio jam drone, employing the sound of ones higher self into the ethereal realm of white light." - R & L. |

Artist: FUTURE SHUTTLE Title: Waters Edge Format: 12" Label: Holy Mountain Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "FUTURE SHUTTLE is a Greenpoint, NYC-based duo (sometimes trio) comprised of JESSA FARKAS and CAMILLA PADGITT-COLES. Prior to the groups early 2009 conception, the pair studied electronic music at Oberlin College alongside their friends in Blondes and Teengirl Fantasy. Blondes member SAM HAAR also produced the Waters Edge EP, the groups first officially released recording. In Future Shuttles beautifully dense brew of psychedelic reprogramming, Tangerine Dream meets the KLF at the UFO Club, and their three-track debut layers distant chants, drones and throbbing, time-frozen strings on top of each other, swelling gradually to a pining, beautifully textured crescendo. As Visitation Rites put it recently: "Discover their mile-long pillow-scapes in higher resolution, revealing an attention to texture and dynamic variation that can only come from losing track of time inside the studio, trapped inside your own spell." Includes digital download coupon featuring three additional bonus tracks." -Holy Mountain |

"(...)All the while, below the chaos, a damn good band is playing. The
basslines routinely hook, the riffs drag cro-magnon-heavy, and savage,
stoned Kraut-tinged beats blare. The structure eludes the standard
song instead stumbling or sleeping, unconcerned or hostile to form but
the
punk inspiration remains. Of course, the punk ethos should lend itself to
something like this: a recycling of broken machinery, a paean to obsolete
machinery, a valorization of the left behind." Futurians is Kraus,
