Artist: T2 Title: Itll All Work Out In Boomland Format: LP Label: Acme Country: UK Price: $24.00 |

"40th anniversary edition with insert; on white vinyl. The rise of power trio T2 in 1970 was rapid: important open-air festivals; headlining residencies at the Marquee Club; appearances at virtually every major venue in London. Then their debut album was released; they seemed poised for a breakthrough. As the band recalled, they were playing the Marquee club with John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix hanging out backstage, which was all to the good. But people were coming forward saying, we cant find your album anywhere. In short order, the band fell apart. Still, their sole Decca album has become well established as an all-time classic amongst progressive and psychedelic music collectors -- even the techno and DJ crowds. The fact that it has done so without hype is a testament to the innate quality of the music. The album is packed with melodic acoustic passages and frenzied fuzz guitar workouts, not to mention acid-trip induced lyrical and musical content." -Acme

Taboo, hailing from the western mountains of MAine, claim to have released over 50 records at this point in their career as derelict noise rock creepers, and with the title of this record being what it is, i can only assume they are as honest as the sounds of barking dogs and doorbells that appear within the first 10 seconds of side A, or is it side B??? This is a truly disorienting release, for man and beast alike, which harkens back to the days when rock and roll was actually as scary as a nightmare......except with nightmares you get to wake up and find that maybee its not all as real as ones fantasies are........or are not, depending once again upon whether side a is side a and side b is side

Artist: TACO LEG Title: Printed Gold Format: 7" Label: Richie Country: USA Price: $6.50 |
| "Three new songs from TACO LEG, ambassadors from the city of Perth, a seaside burg in Western Australia which, as any visitor can confirm, served as a model for The Village to which Number Six has been condemned. The principle mode of travel is hot-air balloon & the locals cheer a longneck of VB with a salute to favorite son Gus Chambers. Its a strange, isolated district inhabited by a society just a little too askew for general population. Taco Leg visited all the major United States markets in late 2010, and this is the first blast weve heard from the guys since that historic trip. Its also a preview to the forthcoming album on the Fan Death label. Printed Gold is a buzzy single-noting headbanger and it shows all the confidence of a Ryan Howard home-run. In fact, in a tribute to his American fans of the diamond, the guitar player wore batting gloves for the recording session. A certain high-ranking Aussie musician and writer pointed out to the band that their approach has a lot in common with FANG. The guys not only took the trouble to figure out just who the hell is Fang, they even learned the bands most memorable tune & put it to tape. The result? An interpretation of The Money Will Roll Right In thats a few degrees drier, more inspired, & more determined than the original. Certainly, these guys stand a chance at the film career that proved elusive to Sammytown & that crowd." -Richie. |

Artist: TACO LEG Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Fan Death Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "TACO LEG are the best band in the world. No, seriously. The Perth trio of ANDREW MURRAY, SIMON MORRISON and RICHARD INGHAM has been blowing us away since we first came across their Myspace page shortly after starting Fan Death. Taco Legs self-titled LP wastes no time in making its mark, its 12 tracks clocking in at just under 20 minutes. Many of these tracks barely crack the minute mark, but like their Perth punk ancestors from the Victims to Extortion, their songs are direct and lodge in your brain until you find yourself thinking about "Raiders of the Lost Ark". If youre familiar with Taco Leg, the elements are all there-minimal guitar lines and stripped-down, proto-punk drumming, with singer Murrays unforgettable voice intoning cryptic lyrics. This is the record where theyve fully honed their sound, and very nearly have learned how to play their instruments. Whether its on the shambling swagger of "Shut It Down," self-described "Detroit Hardcore" song "Find Me," or the tension of "I Cant Decide" (not a Black Flag cover), Taco Leg perfectly encapsulate the feeling of being young and bored without being boring. Members of Taco Leg also appear in a number of other great bands, all of which are incredible and essential to check out, including: PAULINE MANSON, CONSTANT MONGREL, WHALEHAMMER, POND, and Ringhams garage-punk/prank call project RING." - Fan Death. |

and live electronic sounds [minisynths, effector on wall, voice, body, video
image]. Gradually enveloping and slowly progressing minimal sound loops of
a very hypnotic nature. In gorgeous three fold digipack with reflective
panels (inside). issued in 1997.
"As the fifth in the series of Tada CDs following his "KU", "SON", "NE" and
"I", the artist sought to make this a new CD "MU" a composite work of sound
and the package visuals.
Juxtaposed in this compelling sound mix are the somehow nostalgic sounds of
material materials like stone and bamboo and bare branches cutting through
the air and the powerful, electronically generated sounds including recorded
elements like human voices.
The package images are created by a unique Tada technique he calls
electronic drawing (etching on the surface of photographs with an electric
soldering gun). On the three inside surfaces a mirror finish is used to
create infinite repetitions of the character "MU" which in Japanese both
"nothingness" and-in this case-"limitless."

only he can. " - SOH Gallery. Highly recommended!

Artist: TAIGA REMAINS Title: Thereafter Format: Cass Label: Arbor Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "Alex Cobbs Taiga Remains project pushes the exact opposite vibes as the name of his Students of Decay label. With use of nothing but guitar and pedals Cobb materializes lush and precise drones which seem to come directly out of the air. So heavy and powerful that they dont even seem to exist, nor could they come from any instrument / human. Total peace and solitude; meditative Eastern vibes transcendent in and of themselves. The A sides "Winter Tai-Tung" is a light and breezy trip through the mist, growing unconsciously, beyond notice until the track ends. The B sides "Spring Shan-Lin-Shi" recalls visions ten seconds of prayer service slowed down and stretched into ten minutes, like the sound right after a bell rings hung in static forever.

If you aint picked up his new disc on Digitalis Wax Canopy yet, go get it, it is one of the best drone releases I have heard in a long time! The 15-minute track on this new split LP is entitled Mengku From Mengsa. Opening with far off chimes upon chimes, this leads to pure bliss dream zones, rather than the more intense material on the aforementioned Wax Canopy. This is a fantastic piece of drone work, layered to create some beautiful zoning out in the mind. RV Paintings is the project of Brian Pyle of the almighty psychedelia legends Starving Weirdos, along with his brother Jon Pyle, and Spencer Doran, who also plays under the name of Cloaks. This is an amazing track, kinda darker and bleaker than the Weirdos vibe, with some totally awesome free percussion playing central to the piece. This is hard to top in the drone game. A totally solid slab of sound from both acts. Limited to 400 copies." - Blackest Rainbow. Paste-on cover with insert. |

Artist: TAJ MAHAL TRAVELLERS Title: Live Stockholm July, 1971 Format: Double CD Label: Drone Syndicate Country: Sweden Price: $18.00 |
| New lower pricing; 2008 repress. "Led by infamous Fluxus member Takehisa Kosugi, Tokyos Taj Mahal Travellers were one of the prime examples of a band more heard-of than actually heard. Their vinyl legacy (the 1972 LP July 15, 1972 released on CBS/Sony Japan; the 1974 2LP August 1974 released on Columbia Japan and recently reissued by P-Vine as a 2CD; one side of the mythical Oz Days Live 2LP compilation released on Oz in 1973 and recently bootlegged as a single LP) could dig a hole in your wallet deeper than the Grand Canyon. However, the recent reissues have spread the gospel and so here is the chance to hear the young Taj Mahal Travellers live in Stockholm during their tour through Europe in 1971. Its one 2-hour long improvised track. Enough free-floating higher key bliss to keep every grown-up space cadet happy for a lot longer.." From Julian Copes Japrocksampler: "This album is a discorporated, cerebral dance whose rhythm sounds like six weather Gods emulating the cover of Deep Purples Fireball by zooming around Silverstone circuit just inches above the track, each urging himself on by making engine noises: Eee-oww-urghh-ow!!!!!!! Opening with Ryo Koikes horizontally played bowed double bass, its my fave of Taj Mahal Travellers three releases, better even than the obstinate medication of the first official LP JULY 15, 1972, because theres twice as much of it. Meditatively, its extremely useful too: at the entrance portals of this live record, Ryo Koike uses his bass to invoke phlegm phantoms and cranny demons from the butt walls of Cronosian caverns; conjuring a sound as Biblical as Conrad Schnitzlers bizarre bowed cello on T. Dreams Electronic Meditation. Gradually, hesitatingly, almost imperceptibly, a violin theme installs itself, establishing over the next quarter of an hour clop-clopping hooves of hollow rhythm that conjure up the image of frustrated pastoralists driving their reluctant donkeys around the highest and most precipitous cliff edges, as their valuable cargoes sway and shudder and threaten to come untied at any moment. Recorded a full year before their first official LP, I think this in concert album is a far better and more confident shamanic statement, for this Stockholm recording melded together all six group members in such a way that no single musician rises from the primal soup long enough to establish his singular muse. The vocal effects are truly stunning, evoking everything from comb-and-paper voices playing Zeus in the sixty-metre deep Dhikhtean Antron to braying cartoon coyotes laughing to their deaths." -Drone Syndicate |

Artist: TAKAHASHI, IKURO Title: Anoyo No Dekigoto Format: LP Label: Siwa Country: USA Price: $26.00 |
|
"Anoyo No Dekigoto is a duo performance unit, consisting of dance by Yoko Muronoi and music by Ikuro Takahashi. The project has existed for four or five years, but this is their first release with any substantial physical footprint on this corporeal plane.
Takahashi has a lengthy history in the Japanese rock underground, dating back to his involvement with no-wavers Akebonoizu during the late seventies and early eighties. Since then he has been the drummer of choice for virtually everyone whos anyone on the scene. High Rise, Fushitsusha, Tamio Shiraishi, Kosokuya, ChŽ-SHIZU, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, and Nagisa Ni Te amongst others have all benefited from his propulsive, dynamic mastery of space. Solo, duo and more expansive projects under a variety of names including Aura Nihilitica, Lamones Young, and Of Dogstarman have revealed a hitherto unsuspected facility for environment-altering improvised drone and electronic drift. Muronoi too has a long CV of experimental dance work behind her, ranging from solo butoh pieces to multi-media collaborations with visual artists, filmmakers and musicians.
The name Anoyo no dekigoto means something like Happenings in the Other World, an entirely appropriate moniker for the indeterminate, non-linear and metaphysical nature of the communication between Muronoi and Takahashi during their improvised performances. The music is not simply a background score for the dancers movements. Takahashi even shies away from the description of what they do as communication. Rather, he refers to a complex series of negotiations between dancer, musician, environment, and audience that serve to create a sense of enveloping, trembling communal space. On these recordings, Takahashi takes his interest in electronics to another level. On one track he deploys over thirty tiny oscillators to create a constantly moving, deeply immersive field of higher-function insect chatter. Even without Muronois wraith-like physical presence, the music on this album exerts an eerie and oblique dominance over any room in which it is played. It subtly modifies the listeners perception of time and space, leaving behind a tangible and mournful reminder of its presence, like the luminescent tracks of some passing phantom slowly decaying back into incorporeality." -Alan Cummings. Edition of 300 in yet another incredible silkscreened jacket!

Artist: TAKAHASHI, IKURO Title: Domori to Sanshu Format: CD Label: Siwa Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
|
"Ikuro Takahashi might be a familiar name to some for his role as drummer/percussionist with many of the most notable Japanese underground acts of the past 25 years (High Rise, Kosokuya, Fushitsusha, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, LSD March to name but a few). On Domori to Sanshu he presents another look into his long running work with electronics. The two tracks on the CD consist of a live performance for oscillators and percussion followed by a computer composition in which Takahashi uses techniques of layering, looping and stretching sources to create immersive fields of sound. The live piece adds some space defining percussion for a brief temporal anchor before enveloping you once again in the high end chatter of up to 100 tiny oscillators. The computer piece by contrast offers no such reference points, instead leaving the listener submerged in a low end organic rumble that manages by turns to be both soothing and disorienting.
The first edition of this CD is limited to 250 copies and comes in a painted and screenprinted wooden slipcase with screenprinted inner sleeve." - Siwa.

Masayuki Takayanagi: guitar; Kenji Mori: alto sax, flute, recorder; Nobuyoshi Ino: bass Hiroshi Yamazaki: drums, percussion. "Long-awaited reissue of a true masterpiece of Japanese free improvisation! Mastered from the rediscovered master tapes! Recorded in May 1975, less than a month after the legendarily intense April is the Cruellest Month, Eclipse has always been the rarest and most mysterious of the Takayanagi and New Direction records. With April Is... due to come out on ESP Disk (the release was scuppered when the label folded), Iskra the small label who were putting out Eclipse decided to reduce their pressing to just 100 copies. The original master tapes then vanished, and original copies of the LP began to change hands for huge sums on the collectors market. Eclipse sees the same group that recorded April Is... and the two volumes of Axis playing at a dizzying peak of telepathic empathy. Grimly ratcheted tension, whooping freedom, slash and burn explosions, and the unmistakable hovering, molten whine of Takayanagis guitar... simply put a classic, classic record that needs to be heard by anyone with an ear for freedom sounds." -Alan Cummings

Artist: TAKAYANAGI, MASAYUKI Title: Independence - Tread On Sure Ground Format: CD Label: Tiliqua Country: Japan Price: $26.00 |
| "New release in Tiliqua Records ongoing Archival Series is this quintessential album by Takayanagi Masayuki. It was his debut recording as a leader with his newly erected unit The New Directions, a trio consisting out of bassist Yoshizawa and drummer Toyozumi "Sabu" Yoshisaburo. Recorded at the Teichiku Kaikan studios on 18 September 1969 (released in 1970), "Independence �?? Tread on Sure Ground," is largely regarded as the first true classic of Japanese free jazz. The group thrashes out an entirely new Japanese methodology for improvisation based on Takayanagis theories about progressive art. As Alan Cummings explains in his liner notes, the groups sonic outburst is pregnant with an urgent intensity similar to a violent rotating windstorm. "An electric guitar string is pinged with a sour and markedly unlovely resonance. It is left to fade away naturally, its dying whisper replaced with a wavering feedback tone that grows steadily in volume and thickness. Against the slow feedback wave, a sudden loud percussive crash, urgent staccato rolls across the toms, and the dry rasp of a rattle. A choppy, non-sequential series of chords from the guitar, still mouth-puckeringly bitter is set against the warmer resonance of an alternately bowed and plucked double bass. Each instrument sounds self-contained, like lunar bodies spinning on their own axes at different tempos, but locked together by unfathomably complex rules of motion. Additional percussive rattles and scrapes have been overdubbed to fill in the blank space. Tendrils of feedback snake in and out, like cosmic dust from some cataclysmic celestial event. The playing is exploratory and deliberate, technically adept and keenly judged, easily sustaining interest and motion across the tracks eleven minutes. Its sense of focused concentration is more akin to the European free improvisation of AMM or The Spontaneous Music Ensemble than the violent ecstasies of American fire music.�?� - Alan Cummings �?? from the liner notes. The CD reissue includes also the bonus track �??Mass Projection�?� which was originally issued on the compilation album Guitar Workshop (Teichiku, 1970). This CD is housed in a high quality mini-LP styled gatefold sleeve, completed with obi and extensive 4-paged illuminating liner notes by Alan Cummings. Original artwork is faithfully reproduced. One time only limited pressing." - Tiliqua. |

Recorded live in 1970, waves of trademark feedback abound, but also some more serene segments with flute, freedom atmospherics, etc. Not as overwhelmingly brain-bombing as his previous release on the label (PSF 41), but definitely another important piece in the crucial documentation of Takayanagis career." |

Artist: TAKIS Title: Pendules Magnétiques (1964-66)/Le Siècle De Kafka (1984) Format: LP Label: Alga Marghen Country: Italy Price: $34.00 |
| "Alga Marghen proudly presents one of the highlights of his catalogue, an exclusive LP edition with the recordings of Takis electro-magnetic sculptures. Takis is the originator of this new approach to the musicality of sound, which consists in laying bare the repetitious structure of musical form and its functional derivation, thus rejecting the symbolism of representation. Takis was born in 1925 in Athens. Preferring, as a matter of principle, to teach himself rather than study in an institution, he left Greece in 1954 and lived as a citizen of the world, traveling through Europe and the USA. Some of his earliest manifestations in the 1940s consisted of explosions carried out in open places. His first Signals date from 1954: they were rods consisting of piano wires which created musical vibrations as they stuck against each other in the wind. In fact they constituted the first appearance in his work and in contemporary art history of a form of musical expression in which sounds are called forth in an un-programmed way, owing to the action of natural forces. In 1961 Takis meets Marcel Duchamp in New York. Duchamps perpetual moving bicycle wheels inspired Takis hydromagnetic sculptures. In the period between 1964 and 1965 Takis conceives his Pendules magnètiques and constructs his first Sound Sculptures. After the exhibition of Takis titled Electro-musical relief at Indica Gallery in London in 1966, the New Scientist magazine in an article entitled The sounds of tomorrow commented that Takis, Iannis Xenakis and John Cage are the most promising musicians of the century. Takis Pendules magnétiques are based on the simple concept of using magnetic waves caused by electricity as a means to activate repeated musical sounds: the latter are to be heard every time a needle strikes a string, when attracted by a magnet. The sounds reproduced in this edition were recorded in 1993 by Samon Takahashi at Takis retrospective at Jeu de Paume in Paris. Takis participates in 1984 at the exhibition titled The Century of Kafka at Centre Pompidou in Paris and sound work with the same title is also reproduced on this LP edition. As an artist he seeks a natural origin for the construction of sound, and in particular that origin which is furthest removed from the artists arbitrary decision. For about forty years now, it has been Takis purpose to investigate language as a natural function, conceiving function as a form of work. Furthermore, he has broken down the frontiers between sculpture and music in a number of pieces which can only be read by identifying their functionalism as structured units, with their morphological, visual and acoustic aspects. Edition limited to 380 copies with full-color sleeve, printed inner-sleeve reproducing a testimony by Marcel Duchamp and insert with photos of the Pendules magnètiques and a testimony by William Burroughs." - Alga Marghen. |

Artist: TALIBAM! WITH ALAN WILKINSON Title: Dem Ol Apple Pie Melodies Format: LP Label: Bo Weavil Country: UK Price: $25.00 |
| "LP release. Determined to continue collaborating with revolutionary blitzkrieg musicians in perpetuity, Brooklyns Talibam! (Matt Mottel and Kevin Shea) were set up on a blind date with Alan Wilkinson by Bo Weavil Recordings for a London basement show in May 2008. Like a late 60s Sadean love-in ripe with Joycean epiphanies, Talibam! heard in Wilkinsons tone the strength and grit of a fine British pint served cool and fresh... a perfect energy to swing-bounce their roly-poly hieroglyphic dance mayhem. A second gig happened in fall 2008, followed by this recording in winter 2009. If Talibam! and Wilkinson were a rugby team, theyd be in first place, trouncing competitors with more riff-hard tenacity and more powerful/declarative end-zone dances. Balancing contradictory cultural fragments into a psychedelic yin and yang power drive of glitch emission, sprezzatura horns, Zarathrusta organ drone launch, and sayanora-rama drum spills, Wilkinson, Mottel, and Shea turn animatronic nihilists into veritable musicological sexphorisms -- they cut the tension on the dancefloor like that abrupt liminal point between peace and footsie, between donuts and bagels, between lizards and turtles. These three dangerously handsome myriad-men from the future have materialized mixed signals into sharp-fanged foreign accents on this red-eye voyage to vinyl metropoly, a 2-sided ecosystem of Gatsby-killer morph-prov entitled Dem Ol Apple Pie Melodies. Limited edition of 350 hand-numbered copies. Lavish heavyweight matte sleeve with insert, designed by Damien Beaton." -Bo Weavil |

Rock, jazz, noise and all stops in between collide in an aggressive mix that defines free music in the best sense of the term: nothing is deemed out of bounds. Too much fun to be a po-faced postmodern exercise, and too expertly played to be sunk in a morass of good intentions, The New Nixon Tapes hurtles through two side-long pieces in an agile cascade of rhythmic and melodic ideas. Kevin Shea (drums) and Matt Mottel (synthesizer) have worked with Cooper-Moore and Rhys Chatham, among others; here theyre joined by master saxophonist / trumpeter / flautist Daniel Carter.

Artist: TALK NORMAL Title: Secret Cog Format: LP Label: Just For The Hell Of It Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "On this five-song E.P., Brooklyn-based duo Talk Normal drummer Andrya Ambro and guitarist Sarah Register create a nice racket that does a deft job of splitting the difference between harsh sonics and the essential song-oriented structures required of noise rock. Neither a band in which noise is merely a bi-product of a savage attack nor an overtly experimental outfit steeped in this or that high concept, Talk Normal come off as an organic self-contained unit that extracts as much as they can from their explicitly minimal approach. Sure, there are some obvious touchstones here Sonic Youth, Magik Markers, Ut, Teenage Jesus but the songs never feel derivative. Though various sorts of processed sounds work their way in and out of the picture, the bands aesthetic is built on a basic foundation of guitars, drums and vocals. The duo are clearly working within a dark, neo-now wave framework, yet theres some variety, too. They can sound both hyper and dirgey, calling to mind heat-soaked basement shows and cold moldy practice spaces alike. Grinnin in Your Face opens the album and establishes the Talk Normal template, squiggling moans of feedback, a simple lurching riff, and a dual vocal attack all buoyed by frenetic drumming. Eureka then uses a Branca-style guitarscape as foundation for a sing-speak vocal monologue direct from early 80s downtown NYC. Lemonade rides a catchy little groove early on, and then builds to a drum-guitar/freak-out zenith. Perhaps the most curious aspect of these tracks, however, is that despite whatever stabs of sound punctuate the atmosphere, or whatever structural shifts might occur, theres always a simple, repetitive pulse present, not so much an anchor as a telltale heart of suppressed aggression. Even on the sets most distinctive track, the stark finale Rest With Me, theres a tension lurking, played out via a subtle, yet insidious throb. Talk Normal are making their music amidst an increasingly cluttered underground landscape, and the duos seeming intrepidness in the face of that fact shines through. Theyve cultivated their own voice that, when combined with that strange festering energy, should make for solid stuff with each successive release." - Nate Knaebel/Dusted.

Artist: TAMAM SHUD Title: Gooluntionites and the Real People Format: CD Label: Radioactive Country: UK Price: $17.00 |
| "Although the Sydney-based Tamam Shud (the unusual name is probably a corruption of Taman Shud, borrowed from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam) was formed in 1967 by singer/guitarist Lindsay Bjerre, the band only sprang to prominence when their superb debut album, Evolution , was issued by CBS (SBP 233761) in 1969. Having established themselves with Evolution , the band went on to record their opus major for Warner Bros in 1970 in the form of the ambitious Goolutionites And The Real People (WS 20001), a stunning and imaginative work dominated by the prodigious talents of 16-year old guitarist, Tim Gaze. Gazes precocious guitar work was conspicuously present throughout the album, although it was on A Plague and Stand In The Sunlight, both of which were to appear as 45s, that his playing really shone. Although Gaze left the band immediately after the albums release to join Kahvas Jute, he returned later the same year, and remained in the group until it disbanded in 1972. Goolutionites is widely recognised as one of the finest Australian prog-psych offerings of all time." - Radioactive. |

Artist: TAR BABIES Title: Face The Music/Respect Your Nightmares Format: CD Label: Lexicon Devil Country: Australia Price: $13.00 |
| "Originally issued on the Lexicon Devil label in 2005. In 1982, the Tar Babies were burning up half-pipes and blazing venues with their hyper-speed punk rock. More well known for their late 80s LPs on the famed SST label, in which they veered towards a more DC-influenced "punk-funk" sound, and the subsequent acclaim that their drummer, Dan Bitney, acquired with Tortoise, the Babies were also one of the great, and tragically overlooked Midwestern hardcore bands of the original era, releasing two phenomenal 12" EPs on their own Bone Air imprint in 83 and 85, respectively. This CD hopes to rectify that obscurity by putting these two long-out-of-print discs back onto the marketplace for the first time on CD, with a ton of bonus material as a special treat. Inside you will find: The complete Face The Music and Respect Your Nightmares EPs, which featured early production work by Bob Mould and Butch Vig; "The Ocean" track from the Master Tapes 2LP; "Calebs Getting Mad" from their 5-song demo cassette from 1982 (the other tracks are on FTM); five previously-unreleased songs from the era, taken from the vaults of the TBs Bucky Pope, as well as alternate versions of two EP tracks; reproductions of the original artwork from the EPs, plus a collage of flyers, photos and reviews from the era in a 10-panel booklet. Liner notes from Bucky Pope himself. All of this has been digitally edited, sequenced and fiddled with by Melbourne-via-Chicago audio whiz-kid, Casey Rice. The music the Tar Babies were pumping out in 82/83 was an awesome collision course of Black Flag-style tension/release and heart-thumping thrash copped from a heavy diet of Minor Threat 7"s. Think the ferocity of early Die Kreuzen, Negative Approach, Necros, and youre in the ballpark. By 85, things had changed. The pace had slowed a touch, and most of all, Bucky was pumping out highly inventive riffs in an angular Eddie Hazel/Hendrix/Greg Ginn vein. Sharing the stage with a host of HC heroes and a bevy of SST folks criss-crossing the U.S. on their never-ending tours, the band caught the attention of Mr. Ginn and the rest is history. That is, of course, except for their 1982-1985 output. That is all here, and its a rip-snorting collection. 25 tracks and 47 minutes of trailblazing, fist-pumping slampit rama-lama from a time when people really meant it."- Lexicon Devil.

Artist: TARGAL, JEM Title: Luckey Guy Format: CD Label: Obscure Oxide Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "A Turkish Leprechaun by birth, with a childhood fully immersed in music and art, Jem Targal first made his mark as vocalist/bassist/main songwriter for Detroit power-trio legends THIRD POWER (their lone Vanguard album from 1969 still rightfully well-regarded today). After the band split in 1972, a despondent Jem took up home recording, laying down hours of tape on a Teac 4-track machine. Jem selected the best cuts from these solo sessions in 1978 and released �??Luckey Guy�?��??pasting the gatefold covers and handling all sales himself in true DIY fashion. The album never stays still with one style for too long, but rather drifts along with spaced-out guitar (Bumble Bee Drive), tortured, dissonant piano (Ring Out The Bells), culminating in a sparse, apocalyptic tale (The Bomb Tune), with bits of childlike whimsy and Jems eerie harmonies woven throughout, not to mention a few musical touches that indicate its mid-1970s vintage. Were we to shamelessly namedrop, we might mention Syd Barrett, Skip Spence, Brian Wilson and Gary Wilson as starting points... But were above that, for its the first ever appearance on compact disc of this odd and eclectic bit of loner folk/psych. The label tracked down the master-tapes, miraculously still in storage at the original pressing plant, and created a mini-LP sleeve replica of the original album jacket, that includes an insert booklet with liner notes and newly-transcribed lyrics handwritten by Jem himself. Audio digitally transferred, with no added compression or equalisation, from the 1/4" analogue two-track master reels.�?� - Obscure Oxide. |

Artist: TART Title: Radio Orange Format: LP Label: Swill Radio Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "The debut LP from the trio of: Karla Borecky, Graham Lambkin, and Scott Foust, recorded and assembled over 8 months between 1999 and 2000. Tart is an exquisite combination of three distinct minds, much like the skillful structure of diverse, yet subtle, ingredients in a piquant and nostalgic recipe: The Past as well as The Future. Tart blends together these strange elements in an organic yet totally disciplined style that renders many of their contemporaries as either flabby or boring. Radio Orange presents 7 original pieces of expertly edited new music-form. From the opening tape-collage miniatures, The Rabbits of Mangtarau (pts 1 & 2), through to the indeterminacy and excitement of the closing title-track, Radio Orange carves its identity through great use of diversified expression. The analog drone / vox duet: Astride Such Delicate Pins; the bizarre environmental action, Woman In Her Womb; the fragile tone composite, The Mums; and the grinding electronic surge of (the almost 20 minute) Chopin in a Shell all help complete the program in classic style. The overall sound is both hypnotic and explosive, with each side being carefully sequenced to maximize the fact. Radio Orange comes complete with a beautiful full-color sleeve, designed by Karla, and contrasting monotone labels by Graham. The super-modernist avant garde continues to raise its aesthetic head under the romantic banner of the Anti-Naturals. Tart is fabulous." - Swill Radio. |

Artist: TASS 2 Title: Unterhaltung Format: LP Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $22.00 |
| "Minimal electronics has a few different faces. There is a rather poppy version of the genre but also a more experimental version with early industrial influences. This record by TASS 2 is for sure one that belongs to the experimental style. The sounds on this album are raw, noisy and dark. Some comparisons to early Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and Gerechtigkeitsliga can be made, but TASS 2 is more typical minimal electronics then these artists. Titles like Stahlgeburt and Muzac speak for themselves. Best tracks are the dark pulsating Unterhaltung and Tunnelmensch. If you want to hear some authentic minimal electronics that are harsh and intense, this lp is a must have." Last copies of this 2005 release. Numbered edition of 500. |

Artist: TATE, DARREN & PAUL BRADLEY Title: Sometime Today Format: CD Label: Plinkity Plonk Country: Netherlands Price: $18.50 |
|
"A collaboration between Darren Tate and Paul Bradley. In his own unique and intimate way, Darren recorded the basic tracks at his home in York. Including guitar, keyboard and various other techniques, these recordings were passed onto Paul who took them with him, along with a laptop, on a recent visit to Turkey. These original tracks were supplemented with various field recordings taken around the town of Fethiye and the piece assembled during this three-week visit. Voyeuristic, evocative, abstract and delicate, you are invited to spend some time in their sonic world. Darren Tate made his name in the group Ora, a floating collective that included Colin Potter, Andrew Chalk and Jonathan Coleclough. Paul Bradley started out with his first commercial release on ICR and this friendship and partnership has continued over two collaborative CDs with Colin Potter." - Plinkity Plonk.

Tara Burke and Sharron Kraus were due to travel to Finland together for a week but missed the flight, so instead they decided to spend the week recording together and Travellers Two is the result. The time was spent out in the fields, visiting burial mounds, and then coming back to Sharrons home studio to work.

Artist: TAUSSIG, HARRY Title: Fate Is Only Once Format: CD Label: Tompkins Square Country: USA Price: $13.50 |
| "Released as a short-run private press LP in 1965, Fate Is Only Once has long been a coveted collectible among American Primitive guitar enthusiasts. The only other recorded work by Taussig surfaced on the out of-print Takoma LP Contemporary Guitar Spring 67alongside John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Max Ochs and Bukka White. Dorian Sonata was recently featured on the acclaimed acoustic guitar compilation Imaginational Anthem Vol. 1, and now the album is here. remastered, with original liner notes and vintage photos. The album features takes on traditional tunes (Dark Town Strutters Ball, Revs Rag and St. Louis Tickle), expressive originals in the American primitive vein (Blues For Zone VII, Dorian Sonata) and re-workings of songs popularized by Rev. Gary Davis and Elizabeth Cotten (Baby Let Me Lay It On You/Thatll Never Happen No More, Sugar Babe, Yoir Papa Cares For You.)The headiness of the album is remarkable for a 1965 guitar recording. While many guitarists were still stuck in the stuffy, conservative world of folk", Taussig was mining spacier territory like his colleague John Fahey. The musical ideas on the album sound remarkably fresh 41 years later." - Sunbeam. |

Only here can one man come up against another, individually in a void, and speak collectively to the disintegration of his being. A city where the deluge of beauty is mystified by the constant groan of economy undermining a perpetually dissolving modernity. As it looms, it showers upon us the debris of its newest and most ragged disharmonies to stimulate our malignant activities and applaud the constant awakening of our intangible reality. These luminous sights, sounds, and sensations of this mythological frontier are but mere scuffles and flurries under the crumbling stone and iron exposed to the decay and the terror of the overwhelming shadows that engulf us." - Youth Attack. |

Artist: TAZARTES, GHEDALIA Title: Check Point Charlie Format: Double LP Label: Holidays Country: Italy Price: $37.00 |

"Born in Paris in 1947, Ghédalia Tazartés started singing when he was twelve years old, creating his own language. He began a professional career in dance, theatre, and cinema while still giving some occasional concerts and publishing a few albums, each one of them an acclaimed masterpiece. Recorded in 1989 and originally released by Aaya in 1990, Check Point Charlie is the first work by Tazartés conceived for the compact disc format and its different time boundaries. The result is a 60 minute long collection of layered field recordings combined into a polyphonic ceremony filled by his typical multi-tracked vocals, between a gibberish scream and the muezzins call to prayer. A unique record that -- after almost 25 years -- is finally enjoyable with the depth of sound that only a vinyl release can give." -Holidays.

"Originally recorded in 1977 with a limited pressing in 1979 on the underground French label Cobalt, Ghédalia Tazartès debut album, Diasporas, quietly fell into the catacombs of avant-garde obscurity. Tazartès himself, (a strange, nomadic character) played upon myths and legends about his existence and sounds – making him somewhat of a lost legend, trapped between a modern time and a surreal, simple age. Inclusion of Diasporas on Steve Stapletons famed “Nurse With Wound List” only added fuel to the fire of this legendary album. Traditional Parisian folk, frightening tape loops, and gypsy incantations …. Truly one of the most fascinating and mysterious albums ever created. Remastered from the original source tapes from Ghédalia Tazartès, an official reissue LP limited to 500 hand-numbered copies." - Dais.

"2009 repress. More than 5 years after the CD edition of Eclipse totale de soleil and Transportes, Alga Marghen finally decided to also reissue the first and the forth LP by Ghedalia Tazartes including both on one CD. Ghedalia Tazartes is a nomad. He wanders through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. He paves the way for the electric and the vocal paths, between the muezzin psalmody and the screaming of a rocker. He traces vague landscapes where the mitre of the white clown, the plumes of the sorcerer, the helmet of a cop and Parisian anhydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies. Dont become a black, an Arab, a Tibetan monk, a Jew, a woman or an animal but to feel all this stirring deep inside of you. The greatest trips are made in the deep end of the throat: the extra-European music open the ear to Ghedalias intra-European exotism. Where was music before music halls? Where was the voice before it learned how to speak? Ghedalia is the orchestra and a pop group all in one person: the self is multitude and others. The author and his doubles work without a net, freely connecting the sounds, the rhythms, his voice, his voices. The permanent metamorphosis is a principle of composition, it escapes control, refuses classification. To hell with the technocrates of noise and the purists of synthetic culture. All art like all true mythology use a double clavier, playing nature and culture, feeling and the distance of the flesh, death. Off limits!" -Alga Marghen

| "alga marghen was the first label to issue on CD the 4 record LPs that Ghedalia Tazartes privately produced between the late 1970s and early 1980s, therefore contributing to the diffusion of this music among the new generations. At the same time Ghedalia Tazartes music defined the high standard level of the alga marghen label in its early days. These great recordings are still available in their original CD editions and no surprise that alga marghen has now the privilege to bring you the pleasure of listening to a previously unpublished LP recently discovered in the artists archives. Side 1 features Ferme ta gueule, Zarathustra (i.e. Shut Up, Zarathustra) a long track constructed by several fragments recorded in the early 1980s that would have later composed, with different editings, some of the best parts of Une eclipse totale de soleil. On side 2 we find five shorter tracks titled Whatever, Works, Singing, Wild, My Rock Ghedalia. Recorded in the artists own studio in his anhydridic Paris, these pieces are based on materials pre-dating Ghedalia Tazartes first LP Diasporas and were re-elaborated in the early 1980s to be included in this lost work of art. Ghedalia Tazartes is a nomad. The author and his doubles work without a net, freely connecting the sounds, the rhythms, his voice, his voices.

"An extraordinary combination of culled found and taped fragments juxtaposed against drums, field recordings and mystery noises, sound loops, birdsong, keyboards and emanations of Ghédalia Tazartès own throaty drones and voice propelled by hypnotic, ritualistic rhythms balanced on a razor-sharp edge. This is the complete work of Repas Froid; previously released on CD in 2009 as brief tracks of source material and a palette of various sounds. It includes archival and as of yet previously-unreleased recordings from the late 1970s and early 1980s, strung together to form two long compositions. A French musician of Turkish parentage, Ghédalia Tazartès is an uncompromising character who defies categorization. Born in 1947 in Paris, he is one of Frances most idiosyncratic talents. He has spent over 30 years within musical practice and experimentation, letting his musical work wander from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. Manipulating magnetic tape recorders into a rough collage and loose ethno-instrumental mulch, he paves the way for the electric and the vocal paths, between the muezzin psalmody and the screaming of a rocker. He traces vague landscapes where the mitre of the white clown, the plumes of the sorcerer, the helmet of a cop and Parisian anhydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies. The LP is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, in a limited edition repress of 350 copies, pressed on 140 gram vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. It is packaged in a pro-press color jacket which itself is housed in a silk-screened PVC sleeve with artwork by Kathryn Politis and Bill Kouligas." -Pan

The material of the first track, which gives also the title to this CD, was recorded in 1977 at the artists own studio in Paris; the CD reprint of this mixed atmospheres masterpiece is followed by Transports 1 and Transports 2, both composed in 1997 for a theatre piece. We are here in front of a different kind of transport, where the more complex and powerful sound material contributes to create the dense, monolithic structure of these previously unreleased tracks. Elie, a piano piece performed in duo with the composers young daughter, brings a poetic and more relaxing magic to end the program." - Alga Marghen. Repressed! |

Originally conceived in two parts, Une Eclipse... has been remastered and is now integrated by a 25 minute new piece (Part III), composed expressly for this CD."

Artist: TDK Title: Carnevision Format: LP Label: Munster Country: Spain Price: $16.00 |
| "2006 release. Fast, caustic, abrasive, dangerous and disturbing: TDK were real radicals -- provocative beyond mere slogan-making. "TDK" stands for "Terrorism, Destruction and Chaos (Kaos)." They were born in Madrid in 1984 with Jose (guitar), Maguu (drums), Alfonso Cronopio (voice) and Manolo UVI (bass guitar) as their first line-up. Soon Manolo would leave and be replaced by Paco Lanaquera (from Panaderia Bolleria Nuestra Senora del Carmen). The band would record no less than five LPs and three singles, and Carnevision was released in 1986. The sound of their beginnings could be described as fast-as-fuck hardcore punk, à la Dead Kennedys. As a matter of fact, TDK received a note from Jello Biafra himself in which the Kennedys singer congratulated them, saying how surprised he was to listen to such a wild band coming from Spain. And so TDKs reputation and fame reached even the U.S.A.: on New York Citys leading punk radio station, they were labeled one of the 10 best hardcore bands in the world. After Alfonso left, precisely to go to the U.S., the rest continued as a trio, releasing their last three albums (A toda prisa, Como una Pesadilla and La Nueva Era de los Masters) with a radical change in style: they even released the first hip-hop album made in Spain." -Munster. |

Artist: TEARIST Title: Living: 2009-Present Format: LP Label: Thin Wrist Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Over the last two years Tearist has become one of the most notorious and vital bands in the new underground pulsing through Los Angeles. Building on songs driven by intense vocals and synths, the duos performances are known for being deeply physical and direct events. Yasmine Kittles sings from the depths of her body/soul and moves in a near-transfixed state, using scrap metals to scrape rhythm from the ground beneath her. All the while, as if telepathically linked, William Strangeland uses sputtering, cracked synthesizers to create shimmering melodic lines along rumbling interlocked beats and rhythms. Their songs flow and surge, building thick layers of analog sound and noise, often leaving wrecked PAs in their wake. On the heels of the bands recent 12” EP issued by No Ages PPM label, Thin Wrist Recordings is proud to release Tearists first full-length album, Tearist Living: 2009-Present. The album is a rough, raw document taken from audience recordings made in warehouses, lofts, concert halls and everywhere in between. Across two sides of vinyl, multiple versions and performance tapes are spliced, mashed, layered, collapsed and collaged to create an organically flowing album. Full songs cut with snippets and interludes capture the band in its early formation. This is a sideways introduction to Tearists devastating performances and a nod to semi-legendary live cassettes and bootlegs. Think of it as a sort of Sonic Death, 2 x 4, or Metallic K.O. for today, or maybe 23 Minutes Over Brussels via Los Angeles. This is immediate and unpolished sound as a means to an intimate and transcendent experience. Limited edition high quality vinyl in full color & hand-letterpressed heavy tip-on jacket." - Thinwrist. |

Artist: TECHNICAL SPACE COMPOSERS CREW Title: Canaxis 5 Format: LP Label: Scheisshouse Country: Germany Price: $20.00 |
|
"The project name for a one-off collaboration between Cans bass player Holger Czukay and the painter Rolf Dammers. Canaxis 5 (1969) was an early attempt at manipulating ethnic music (World music), in many ways predating the discreet background music of certain ambient Brian Eno albums. The album was made using tape loops from traditional Vietnamese music to create some kind of acoustic sound painting. The result was a strange sound milage. It contained only two tracks: "Boat-Woman-Song" and "Canaxis". Few ordinary instruments were in use, only Holgers bass can be heard occasionally. Nowadays, this album is nothing more than a curiosity, documenting the ambient music in its early childhood. Czukays tape editing skills steadily improved through the years - as proved by the mid-period Can albums and even more so on his solo albums." - Mutantsounds. "One of the earliest and rarest Krautrock albums ever, this was
recorded in 1968 by Holger Czukay of CAN fame, and released
the next year on the tiny Music Factory label in a pressing of
only 500 copies. With just one long track on each side, this
faithful reissue features all the original artwork." - Scheisshouse.

Teenage Boatpeople are a Minneapolis based Avant-Garde Rock band founded in 1979 by Jeff Johnson. The band played a short run of gigs 1980-81 at local venues including First Avenues Main Room and 7th St. Entry, the New Riverside Cafe, and the legendary Longhorn (Zoogies), sharing the bill with the likes of DNA, Husker Du, Naked Raygun, the Milo Fine Free Jazz Ensemble, and the Suburbs. The music the band created in 1979/80 was unique and difficult to categorize for the Minneapolis scene at the time. With the lack of local support the group disbanded in late 1981. The bands current line up retains two core members -- Jeff Johnson and Milo Fine -- and adds new member Tim Mauseth (Rocking Pinecones, Safety Last). Milo Fine is an internationally known improvising musician who has been active in the field since 1969.

In early 1978, artist and producer Brian Eno attended a series of shows put on to benefit the Artists Space in Soho and influenced Island Records to finance an anthology LP featuring the four strongest bands -- Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, The Contortions, Mars and DNA. The resulting recording, entitled No New York and produced by Eno, remains as one of the most impressive and extraordinarily bold debuts of the time.

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks were not about having fun. It was about nihilism and confrontation, about ripping mainstream society to shreds and dancing on its grave. The music, if you will, was more of a means to an end, almost a metaphor for how at odds the members felt with mainstream society, and it was this forceful message preached by this new prophet (the Teenage Jesus) that has spoken to the past three decades of disillusioned youth. These twenty-one tracks taken from their brief time together (1977-1979) represent the bulk of their recorded material, including the bands earliest material (recorded in Soho in NYC 1977, when James Chance was still in the band), their first single (Orphans/Less Of Me, 1978), their second single (Baby Doll/Freud In Flop/Race Mixing), songs from the Pink EP, produced by Robert Quine of the Voidoids, songs that appeared on the legendary 1978 No New York compilation, etc." - Cherry Red. |

Artist: TEENAGE PANZERKORPS Title: Games For Slaves Format: LP Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
|
"Der TPK liken the sound of their second aural onslaught to "[The battle of] Kursk, second day." Who among us cannot relate to the largest tank battle in history? While the comparison may not be an easy nut to crack, the reference, specifically to the second day, is telling: the wonton destruction that unfolded on that field of battle in an attempt to break the Soviet bulge cannot be overstated. For the Germans, it was unmitigated tragedy. So by comparing Games for Slaves to this particular point in the offensive, Der TPK makes clear that album number two is more brooding and melancholy than Harmful Emotions.
Bunker Wolfs menacing lupine-schrei is as formidable as ever, but the band has moved from the blitzkreig, almost hardcore-like pace of their Siltbreeze debut to a more Mancunian post-punk sound (angular guitars, rhythmic dirges), crossed with the luftschutszbunker psychedelia of German Oak (especially on the organ-laden tracks). Edmund Xaviers spidery guitar fills recall similar stylings of a young Bernard Sumner, while the bass/drum propulsion of Boy True and Catholic Pat call to mind the underrated talents of Slight Seconds Mike Shaw and Peter Hibbert. Getting back to Bunker Wolf, there is no one like him. Maybe if Peter Hind (Mittagspause-era) could still squeak while goose-stepping across the squat in a pair of leather trousers, then we might have some trouble. But that aint likely. No one does it in 2008 like Teenage Panzerkorps. Games for Slaves is more beauteous gas on an already raging and spectacular fire. Edition of 500 with insert and single-sided, silk-screened, black-and-white cover." -Siltbreeze

This time the album is under his name and Paul Ngozi is his guitarist. This album is so great, we left the best for the last Zam Rock release. Wild fuzz guitars all over (how do they get those sounds?), African beats and extra cool vocals. Complete stoned music. People say it is easily one of the best African psychedelic rock album ever recorded -- raw, rough, with a gaping charm and tons of front and center fuzz guitar over basic, ultra catchy rock/pop tunes reminiscent in style to maybe the Velvet Underground. The songs are sung in English. Original albums on Chris Edition are rare as gold dust. 500 numbered copies; heavy sleeve; on 180 gram vinyl." -Shadoks. |

Artist: TEMPERATURES Title: Eksra Format: LP Label: Ultramarine Country: Italy Price: $14.00 |
 "Temperatures are a London-based duo formed by Peter Blundell (bass, voice) and James Dunn (drums, synth). Blundells rumbling delayed bass runs against Dunns bursting drums that simultaneously trigger an unruly ARP 2600. Vocals are both muffled and shouting at times and eventually end up getting buried under a (controlled) landslide of sounds. Thanks to their instinctive but thoughtful approach to noise, Temperatures can express a suffocating sense of alienation and mal de vivre, as well as todays over-communication resulting in a helpless lack of communication; but "Eksra" strikes most for its original and refreshing sound, far from the stale cliche that noise so often falls into. They can be compared to other bands like: early Throbbing Gristle, Lighting Bolt and the Dead C." - Ultramarine.

Artist: TEMPLE OF BON MATIN Title: Infidel Format: CD Label: Spirit Of Orr Country: USA Price: $13.50 |
| "Ed Wilcox is constantly refining his art, his message. As a painter, he describes what you will find in his work with, my love of circus, the unrepentant whim of the Cobra Group, the recycled resurrections of Eduardo Paolozzi, and most important to me, Persian and Mongul miniatures. Ed Wilcox approaches his musical efforts with the same level of thoughtfulness and joy in exploration. A self-declared Space Metal band, there is much influence of Sun Ra (Philadelphia for crissakes!) as there is Judas Priest. Together with a crop of accomplished and loyal fellow travelers, the Temple Of Bon Matin has ventured in and out of sight, but has continually remained true to Eds single vision of pushing clattering jazz through the heaviness of hard rock. The result is always explosive and primal, always Bon Matin. Infidel , Temples sixth full length, is the record made when the pedal hits the metal. A full on blow out featuring Eds powerful shouts and revving drum attack, amidst psychedelic-punk guitar blasts and blaring horns." - Spirit Of Orr. |

Okay, this record is simply the most psychedelically mannered BON MATIN yet, and it is also the most soulful, and the most vocal, and most pre-cussive, and most acoustic. MONKEYS STRAW RAINCOAT takes the direction of the CABIN IN THE SKY release and turns it back into itself, it propels like BULLET INTO MESMERS BRAIN, but it is a space capsule without any fuselage.

Artist: TEMPORAL MARAUDER Title: Temporal Marauder Makes You Feel Format: LP Label: Spectrum Spools Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "If Jean Logarin did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. Never mind your outsider composers; never mind your library music. Never mind your merely unreleased records. Jean Logarins music, like some recent unearthings by Belgiums Ultra Eczema label, exists at a remove from publicity so complete that it was nearly not among us, and has never been before. Like any obscurity, its immediate appeal might be that this music could count as a more genuine artifact of its time than any more commercial product, by virtue in part of its being outside of history. Jean Logarins music is definitely outside of history, but it is no artifact. It is so deeply consonant with the best contemporary electronic music that it is hard to believe it isnt brand new. But the biographical details, however elusive of our usual channels of verification, speak for themselves: Logarin studied under Andrew Rudin during the early 70s; his interest in electronic music further developed while working as a studio assistant for engineer Max Tanguy, an associate of famed Krautrock producer, Conny Plank. Through Tanguy, Logarin met percussionist Hans Schule, an eccentric whose shady wealth bankrolled a series of recording sessions at Tanguys studio. Together with Logarins then-girlfriend, Llissa Zuckovich, Tanguy, Schule and Logarin proceeded to compose in the studio several hours worth of finished pieces whose original purpose and intention have only become cloudier with time. There was no serious attempt made to release it, and only vague talk of attempting to sell it for commercial usage. The music on Makes You Feel is, then, from a historical perspective, purely a vanity project. A vanity project within a vanity project, even: None of the pieces were given titles by Logarin, and the name "Temporal Marauder" does not pre-date this release. The album was compiled, its presentation determined, by its own first fan. And here is where the story strains credulity, because it requires believing that Jean Logarin one day met, by chance, accordionist and composer Guerino Raglani, who even then was uncle to a young Joseph Raglani, today trafficking in romantic, Kraut-tinged electronics under his own name. Two years ago, the elder Raglani passed onto his nephew a set of DAT transfers of his old tape reels, among which were (what have proven to be the only known) copies of Logarins studio recordings. The younger Raglani, so the story goes, flipped out -- became nearly scared, in his own words -- and demanded to know more. His uncle shed what light he could on how he came into possession of the tapes (a funny story in itself), but it took an extensive search to find any accessible trail to Logarin. While Jean and the rest of the erstwhile group were pleasant enough when located, and happy to lend their support to the belated discovery of their work, each was mostly surprised anyone would want to go to the trouble; particularly Logarin, who declined the invitation to be involved in the project beyond its approval, and encouraged Joseph to come up with the albums names and titles himself. So, the project became Raglanis, and it bears the impression of his own aesthetic stamp, drawing from a range of references he and Logarin discovered they had in common. One may search for further information about Jean Logarin beyond these and a few other bare facts, but only in vain; he does not wish to be known. But to anyone who supposes that music this enjoyable and exciting, however buried, wouldve already been found by now if it actually existed, I would suggest that it has arrived at just the right time to be heard. And to those who will inevitably question if Logarin himself is real, the only straight answer is that we have his music. How could he not be real?" - Michael Ferrer. Images from Jean Logarins diary.

Artist: TENNISCOATS Title: Live Wanderus Format: CD Label: Chapter Music Country: Australia Price: $15.00 |
| "Tokyos Tenniscoats centre around the duo of Saya and Taskashi Ueno, a married couple who have been making music since 2000, and together run the highly regarded Japanese label Majikick Records. In that time, Tenniscoats have released three studio recordings, 2001s Theme Of Tenniscoats, 2002s The Ending Theme and 2004s We Are Everyone. Although each of those records is a fine, fine work, many Tenniscoats fans say that the bands meditative intensity has never quite been captured in the studio. It is for this reason that Chapter Music is releasing a compilation of their live work. Live Wanderus (named in Sayas imaginative English to reflect the words Wander, Wonder, Wondrous and Us) presents songs from each Tenniscoats release in distinctive new forms, as well as a number of previously unreleased tracks. It presents the band in its many shifting lineups, and includes collaborations with members of revered Japanese bands Acid Mothers Temple, Stars and Maher Shalal Hash Baz. Tenniscoats are a combination of hummable melody and a kind of innocent darkness, their unashamed fragility set against a restrained power that at times can explode into a psychedelic free-for-all." - Chapter Music. |

| "A bass tone like a warped broadcast barely winning its fight with am radio fuzz. A hypnotizing keyboard that sounds like someone crafted an infernal machine from the toy section of a resale shop. Hailing from Detroit, damaged new-wave duo TERMINAL GIRLS debut Weird Lights LP on FDH records avoids the lo-fi trappings of layers and layers of tape hiss and clipping vocals buried in the mix to deliver something thats clean enough to bore itself right into your brain and dare you to drill a hole in your skull so it can escape. Become a cosmonaut from an alternate past that sets out on a voyage to deep space to find gods skeletal remains. That vast, empty boring part of outer space is no longer boring, and is more vast, more empty. You are so lonely and depressed that you want to commit suicide but Weird Lights force you to have a one man dance party instead. The beats drill into your body, reaching speeds that should be too fast to dance to but arent. None of this makes you feel any better about freezing to death in your spacesuit, but youve lived for so long you cant care anymore. Like a less self conscious The Screamers, unconcerned with trying to sound punk and artsy, but they manage to do it effortlessly. Sometimes it becomes so catchy but alienated it could have come from some sewer dwelling mole-man mid 90s boy-band. Limited to 300 copies, includes a download." -FDH. |

But density is relative & on here the trio dont lunge into the whoosh of Hawkwind & Mountain as before, yet they aint missed a beat neither. These tracks seem more set the controls for the heart of the rural-delica sun, following the not so easily understood maps of neo-cartographers such as Thinking Fellers & Strapping Fieldhands.

Artist: TERMINALS Title: Little Things Format: CD Label: Last Visible Dog Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Perennially unrecognized and underrated; The Terminals finally established their stature in 2007 with their release Last Days of the Sun (awarded one of the top 50 albums of the year in Wire magazine.) Mixing elements of classic VU, Doors, late 70s/early 80s post punk (Wire, Joy Division, etc.) with a unique strand of New Zealand rock that has been developing in isolation since the early 80s (Vacuum, Pin Group, The Clean, etc.). Its hard to understand why it took so long for the band to garner a little attention from the critics. The early 90s saw two full-length releases from the band (Touch and Little Things). Both are seriously meaty albums with guitar distortion and drums often taking the forefront (perhaps channeling a bit of Fun House), but pinned down by Stephen Cogles Ferry-esque vocals and that NZ rock sensibility. Little Things (1995) in particular stretches out the frenzy established with Touch; Jon Dale (NZs closest thing to a rock-musicologist) claims this to be their most sophisticated stage; drawing comparisons to Charlambides and Fushitsusha, yet never fully breaking away from rock. Indeed, its worth noting that Little Things was released side-by-side with the free noise entries like Gate, Handful of Dust, etc.; but unlike those bands, there was still a core part of the Terminals that was all about songs and lyrics -- even if that format was as dense and electrified as Musica Electronic. This much-needed reissue features both some serious remastering by the band and two live bonus tracks (one a cover of Roxy Musics Both Ends Burning)." - Last Visible Dog. |

"Last Days of the Sun is the fifth album by long-running New Zealand avant-garage kings The Terminals. Bruce Russell has often described them as New Zealands best rock band bar none, and these days they often get called legendary and while that may have as much to do with the fact they are in their twenty-first year they continue have a big reputation for the intensity of their live performances. Last Days of the Sun is their first release since the 1997 Terminals Live CD on Medication and the 1996 7" single Medusa on Chicago label Roofbolt. It combines driving garage-rock and swirling guitar/organ interplay with dark, brooding, melodramas and quietly haunting ballads. There are twelve songs of love and anxiety, with The Terminals characteristic ebb and flow dynamics and Cogles unearthly tenor soaring right over the top." - Last Visible Dog.

"Terrestrial Tones is the home recorded project of roommates Dave Portner
(Avey Tare of Animal Collective) and Eric Copeland of Black Dice, published
by an emerging label in the underground noise scene, Psych-o-Path records. Blasted, their debut record combines a creepy parade of burlesque musicalia with the
underwater travels of a submarine 20,000 leagues under the sea. Deep almost
unrecognizable vocals hidden in layers of sub-bass warbles are reminiscent
of work on the Charhizma Label, particularly Christof Kurzmann and his
collaborations with Dafeldecker and dieb13.
Likewise there are nods to the diverse almost pop-twitch of Dat Politics and
the polyrhythmic patterns of the Basic Channel/Chain Reaction projects. It�??s
a dance music record (microtonal future extremely abstract dance) for people
who like to wiggle to shoes tumbling in washing machines with monkey cymbals
and puppet shows.
It is serious yet unpretentious, even whimsical, and will appeal to fans of
experimental electronics, IDM, Throbbing Gristle and related, the drones and squeals of Black Dice and the
nouveau pop psychedelia of Animal Collective." - Psych-o-Path. 2004 release.

Artist: TERRESTRIAL TONES Title: Oboroed / Circus Lives Format: CD Label: UUnited Acoustic Recordings Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "Terrestrial Tones are Eric Copeland and Dave Portner, two dedicated musicians who make their own sounds while on hiatus from their respective bands: Black Dice and Animal Collective. The Tones music was made to be played live through a huge stack of speakers yet listening to Oboroed in your own space is oddly relaxing as sound waves morph and sonic tapestries shift. This is noise but very deep noise minimally composed and direct sounding. Oboroed is slightly longer and more subdued, coming in almost like GAS and then shifting through different songs to a kaleidoscopic and epic effect. Circus Lives is more aggressive, particularly with the bass frequencies, with the cascading rhythms of the mid-range, and with the bold choice of samples. Oboroed / Circus Lives was recorded by the Tones at Terrestrial Home in November 2004 then mixed and mastered with Rusty Santos in January 2005. Although the lineage from Animal Collective and Black Dice can be faintly detected in the music, Oboroed / Circus Lives maps a different territory barely touched upon with their other bands. They present electronic music with a surprising new take." - UUnited Acoustic Recordings. |

| "Blistering blitzkrieg from Detroits proud punk pongers. With equal amounts of inspiration gleaned from the Screamers and Adderall, the TWOS like to keep it weird. These songs show the band at their peak and are easily among the best things theyve ever committed to wax. Guaranteed enough energy to turn you on and float your boat. As a side note, they are also the best band to ever send Cass an unsolicited demo. On randomly mixed colored vinyl!" -Cass. |

Night-People teamed up with German label Adagio 830 to present this master piece of heartfelt, haunted, ethereal pop music. Nikkis piano and synth arrangements guide her voice full of feeling and beauty through layers of dark ambience that constantly break away into shinny spaces of hopeful abandon. Artwork by SHAWN REED." -Night People |

Artist: TERRORS Title: Lagan Qord Format: LP Label: Weird Forest Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Perhaps the true test of an artist is taking common elements and fashioning a unique sound all their own. Elijah Forrest, as Terrors, is one artist who passes the test. A bi-coastal vagabond dropping tapes from southern California to Baltimore, Forrest has traveled many miles, seen a lot and judging from his music, not all of these experiences have been good. Terrors is relatively unprolific by underground tape culture standards, putting out a handful of well-received cassettes over the last few years. Each release is filled with simple songs built around his voice, guitar and at times, a healthy wallop of tape hiss ambiance and feedback. With these simple ingredients, Forrest injects a sense of weariness and sadness into his songs -- even the instrumentals which loop, layer and wrap back around themselves seem imbued with a touch of grey. The chords, melodies and progressions may sound familiar but in Forrests hands, a freshness and timelessness breathes within these songs. Weird Forest is excited to present Lagan Qord, a compilation of Terrors tracks culled from the last few years. Wonderfully remastered by Sean McCann, these songs have never sounded better." -Weird Forest |

Artist: TERRY Title: Rojvi Format: LP Label: Noose Country: USA Price: $16.00 |

The folks behind this LP are same as those on the Jim Collins LP (which is long sold out) but I guess someone involved wasnt completely satisfied with the results so it was released under a different name. Its definitely got the same desolate downer folk/psych vibe with the ultra-mysterious presentation intact. Heres what I had listed for the Jim Collins a year or two back: "Easily one of THE best examples of "loner acid downer psychedelic folk" I have ever heard. References would likely include touches of Charlie Tweddle, Peter Grudzien, Skip Spence, Simon Finn, Bobb Trimble, etc. NYC psychedelic dealer Paul Major describes it as sounding like what a Jandek album might sound like if any of them were actually any good. Most importantly, unlike other "acid folk psych" records where youre left wondering where they might have hidden the "acid" and "psych" parts, this record is full of distorted and wah-wah electric guitar leads throughout both sides. The catch here is that nobody can tell me when, or exactly where, this is from. I know its US and I am fairly sure its not more than 5 or 6 years old, perhaps only 2 or 3 (but the fact that its on LP and not CD clouds the whole thing); the sleeve is a killer purple psychedelic kind of Halloween painting and the whole thing just has the home made obscure-O vibe to the max. Already offered overseas in near 3 figure range and definitely going to climb when copies disappear. Thus far, nothing but high marks from everyone whos heard it." - Stan Denski. Early 90s (?) mystery which, after being unearthed by Denski and Majors, changed hands for $35.00+ right out of the box. Not sure how many were pressed but i do know that it hasnt been offered anywhere other than dealer lists. Got a handful of copies at a non -collector price."

Artist: THAMES Title: The Gift Of Money Format: 7" Label: American Tapes Country: USA Price: $7.00 |
| "Oh funky boy. I love my weirdo friends. Esp when they record SCRAMBLED non music to the soundtrack of they weirdo lives. Remember when you used to get a record, play it, stare at it for an hour, put it black on, repeat, and be blank brained cause it JUST DONT MAKE NO SENSE. Well, you inzaniacs, heres another one. I mean Blake Hargreaves & Alex Moskos are some pretty strange dudes. I heard Alex got caught using actual live cats as stencils for graffiti in the catacomb walls of Montreal and Blake PRETENDED to work for the Canadian Senate for years to get access to a secret room in the capital of Ottawa that is used only to make a vile stew of illegal insect repellents & found river garage that they gave to the Canada postal workers to keep them from striking. As the story goes, in the darkest hours of the winter of 2009, the duo was sick with the flu from a long bout of STREAKING around the business district of Montreal, Alex & Blake took microwaved antifreeze and poured it over they primitive oscillators and filters, left them in a snow bank for two hours, stood facing separate corners in silence in the bright lights of their studio for another three hours, and then at 6:30 am: slammed a gallon of that sickly liquid inside those old wax lips from the 80s (alex found a case in alley when stenciling cats for a mural biased on the Packers Super Bowl Loss from last year) and RUSHED to hold the Guinness world record for the most CUBIST song 7" ever recorded. Sheesh. No joke. I think they won but the judge thought the songs on this single were from a SEND IN YOUR LYRICS song contest they made for the failed robot boxers in the new Hugh Jackman boxing movie. Between you and me, they won. They didnt necessarily PRESS this record as they did unwillingly from a vision induced by YOGURT overdose at Bill Smith records from post dated expired DANNON marathon sessions at the plant. NOTHING IS RIGHT on this single. SOOO WEIRD. File under = Goofy Tombstone Pizza Dirt. The only record at played at the Olzone crib where tovah thought it was on CHOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE records. So abstracted stoked on this i will spell it STO PKOKED. This here, are my weird friends and they PEAK MY LANGUAGE. B & W covers, edition of 200, numbered and hand stamped." -American Tapes |

�??Tom Thayer is a NY visual artist who creates paintings, drawings, sculpture, music, puppetry, film and theatrical experiments. These works are often loosely strung, frail objects depicting dilapidated, fantastical scenes of abstract human and animal figures.

From the artist, �??This record contains a broken, mildewed darkride of songs and beats held together by adhesive tape and string.�?� We saw his gig and there were bird puppets playing records with their beaks, speeding up/slowing down, pecking the vinyl. This recording�??remember the Plonsky record, or the recordings of Jean Dubuffet?

Artist: THEE GNOSTICS Title: Archival Format: Double Cass + Book Label: Beniffer Editions Country: Canada Price: $19.00 |
|
"In a faraway land, where crystalline car dealerships and stately drive-thru slop shops stood immaculate, a band of sagacious, chemically-altered teaheads huddled in a vacant post office in a tent that was left there from the time of the Sumerians. This was in Hamilton, Ontario - early 90s... Anyway, the ceiling of the tent was deep space; constellations became their pets and unnamed planets became their personal pan pizzas... It was there that they met God, it was all Blueberry shaped non-sequiters and top-heavy answers, enough to cave in the cab of a cube-van. Upon stumbling out of the now fog-encumbered tent their heads were weighted down by the incessant drone of the spheres, a tinnitus-like unceasing that clouded their perception. With nothing else to help with this cochlear roar they harmonized, like a ragtag assembly of Beached Boys with an orphic caveman stomp that matched the brutal profoundness of the soul. And here it is - the selected works of Thee Gnostics, a band that ceaselessly put petals on wahwah pedals in the tradition of Hawkwind and the 13th Floor Elevators. This is a serious INSTANT CLASSIC.
Double cassettes come with a 48 page silkscreened/photocopied fanzine-style booklet, with re-appropriated poster art and with liners by Bruce Mowat. " -Beniffer Editions.

| "This disc of gently processed field recordings flows as beautifully as the river on its cover. Burbling water, birds chirping, and other nasturalistic sounds are only the starting point for a startlingly pretty composition that incorporates these tiny glimpses of nature into a widescreen panorama as sweeping and open as the Western landscape. The result of long-distance collaboration, this discs organic, seamless sound completely belies those origins. Doug Theriault is a guitarist based in Portland, OR, best known as an improviser whos played with such diverse talents as Fred Lonberg Holm, Sean Meehan, Climax Golden Twins, and Noggin. Jeph Jerman is a multi-talented Arizona-based sound manipulator, known for ultra-quiet improv with natural objects and lo-fi field-recordings. Jeph and Doug have recorded together several times, resulting in 3 previous CD-Rs and a cassette, but this project is much different from anything theyve done together in the past. Comes packaged with special, gorgeous artwork: a gatefold cardboard sleeve with a real photo by Jeph attached. LIMITED TO 75 COPIES." - Fargone. |

Artist: THESE TRAILS Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "The hippie groundswell of the late 60s left a lot of young people on the road to self-discovery in the new decade of the 1970s. Some were true "dropouts," but there were also a number of artisans and talented people out there, footloose yet fascinated with the workings of the world and determined to make something of the pieces theyd been given. THESE TRAILS echoes back to us from Hawaii, and specifically the world of the nature cult there. Hawaiis (comparatively) unspoiled wilderness bore great fascination to the gentle young people of the west coast back in those days. Musicians as diverse as The Beach Boys, Merrell Fankhauser, Sky Saxon, Dan Hicks and Ry Cooder all drew vibes and inspiration from the Hawaiian mystique and music-but These Trails gains distinction having been made by everyday-people-type inhabitants of the islands. Hiking, swimming and surfing were the auspices under which MARGARET MORGAN and PATRICK COCKETT first met. They were local kids, whod grown up on the island of Kauai. Theyd both been studying native Hawaiian music and their shared interests and island upbringing inspired them to write and play new music together. By the time this music got to tape, a greater environment had been created with the addition of DAVE CHOYs ARP synthesizer, Uruguayan CARLOS PARDEIROs guitar and sitar, and the soft rhythm of ipu, Hawaiis traditional percussion. The music of These Trails is a psychedelic bridging of folk musics that has a natural and melodic flow and a somber, spiritual air. These Trails was never really a band; it was an album of music. It wasnt pressed in any great numbers and created only a few ripples locally when it was released in 1973. Nonetheless, it was a powerful expression that stands with up other recently-discovered heroes of the private-press world, such as Linda Perhacs and Gary Higgins, whose singular musical endeavors stand with the best of what the hippified 1970s had to offer." -Drag City |

Artist: THESE WONDERFUL EVILS Title: Parade Room Format: LP Label: Sparrows & Wires Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Unassuming and cathartic, the music of Chicagos Zak Boerger coils and swells in elliptical rings. His debut under the moniker These Wonderful Evils, Regine Flory, established this abstruse approach to songwriting. It meandered in the realm of lo-fi psychedelia akin to the 90s experimental New Zealand scene, but it never quite could find a foothold of distinction. Parade Room however does just that. Boerger whittles a small niche all his own out of the vast trunk of bedroom psych-rock, and its a quite stirring slow burn of a record. Parade Room, Boergers sophomore effort as These Wonderful Evils, is almost a benign noise record, unrushed in the execution and more focused on the atypical melding of styles than the urgency of a message. Each layer of guitar tone feels meticulously appointed: just the right degree of fuzz atop the resonant tremolo of a softly wavering electric guitar atop lapping undulations of a warmly strummed acoustic. Each song is a splattering of melancholy with just enough direction to keep it moving forward, though without a particular destination. With the addition of infrequent harmonica and vocals à la a mumbling Lou Reed, it culminates in a steady rippling of melodic noise that cascades on your emotions, like Richard Youngs re-imagining the Laughing Stock-era Talk Talk sessions. The album is separated into two parts: the first five tracks that drift in and out of song-based structures and the nearly twenty minutes of temperate guitar-psych that make up ⿿The Light Pours Out of D.C. Boergers talent isnt in his ability to shred for hours on end or annihilate your floor speakers with devastating outbursts of feedback; in fact, most of the album feels about a step slower and quieter than you are most likely accustomed to hearing in this genre, especially the epic closer. This intuitively captures the listeners attention as it mildly confuses the ears, and the subsequent concentration is rewarded with layers of sound to decipher. Much in the same manner of an early Stooges song or the Spacemen 3 oeuvre, the dragging pace doesnt inhibit the energy; it adds a palpable heaviness. Boergers guitar playing feels more in debt to the late-60s British folk artists or the Takoma camp rather than any particular guitar virtuoso in the field of heavy electric psych, even though the final product sounds otherwise. And this patient twang, laced with odd-tempo trills and roundabout improvisation, gives Parade Room a more comforting folksy vibe despite the habitual use of distortion. Boergers music saunters, but it does so with a hair-raising effect. It will leave you tingling at the most frayed ends of your most sensitive nerves, a feeling at the core of psychedelias definition." -Michael Ardaiolo (Dusted) |

Artist: THIELEMANS, ERIC Title: A Snare Is A Bell Format: LP Label: Ultra Eczema Country: Belgium Price: $28.00 |
| "This is the first in a series of solo percussion LPs on Ultra Eczema titled STS. A meditative psychedelic experience is what I would like to call this, though I realize I make it sound like a silly zen blowout, and thats not what it feels like at all! When I first saw it live in a giant church in Mechelen, Belgium, I was yelling this is the best show of the year. I thought there wouldnt be an end to it and didnt even feel a build-up to a more tense sound or a drone. There was a difference in resonating sound and it definitely changed, but as with more constructive minimalists such as Steve Reich or maybe even Terry Riley, you cant tell when things change. That experience got enlarged as well by the scenography he played in, a splendid eye-torturing construction, built especially for this piece by Antwerp-based sculptor Filip Metten. On record it feels different of course, as you can skip the needle up and down to the end and back, you can hear an enormous tension and sound difference. Though this piece is written for only a snare drum and a tiny bit of vocals (resonating with the snare drum) it sounds like either 20 people on a snaredrum, like if Glen Branca would invite 567 people playing the exact same snare roll, or like a choir, and by the end definitely like the sound of a Whitehouse LP; building up strongly to the point of absolute silence, which feels like a relief! This piece is based on a snare roll which changes 3 times. Live, this piece can go up to an hour or longer, on this record, it is one full side. The B-side is a psychedelic etch! Eric Thielemans is based in Antwerp, Belgium and has made percussive pieces for theatre, has played psychedelic guitar music with Mauro Pawlowski, spaced free music with Sickboy and Cassisini Division and a ton load of great free jazz with Andre Goudbeek and Peter Jacquemyn. This record is limited to 500 copies, has an insert and comes in a duo colored psychic design by Dennis Tyfus." -Ultra Eczema |

| "EARR plays a Snare is a Bell, is a revisitation of the roll and its overtones by an ensemble of musicians with very different musical backgrounds. The choice of musicians is above all a heart thing. I love hearing and seeing what they play. I like their recipes and the special cookies they bake. And I like sitting down and watching the stars with them. "So It started again with my snare drum and voice in a room, and we all listened and added voices and sounds to what we were hearing. As if we were all fishes in a stream. Sometimes just swimming, sometimes wanting to show ourselves, wanting to be heard, making sounds and noises, adding to that stream, sometimes just floating, breathing, hanging in there. And sometimes we heard not only single sounds but many sounds together and sometimes we heard a song. And we started to think about where all these sounds, songs and noises were coming from. And where they were going to. And we thought of all those recipes in all our grandmas and grandpas cookbooks, and all their grandmas and grandpas, and we started to feel simple and happy. Happy fishes in a big stream, watching the stars." -Sub Rosa. |

| "Old East Lansing Free Crew featuring Randy Sutherland (in SF now) and John Coorz with various other jammerz circa 94-97. TE started as an Abbot Road house band of Sutherlands and after seeing em play an amazing set at the Otherwise gallery in April of 94, I asked to join em. After that, we played house parities where we got paid to stop, Highway overpasses, bridges, train tracks, streets, porches, music practice rooms on MSU campus, everywhere in the city. Randy played drums, alto sax and various percussion things and I jammed alto, handmade horns and electronics. We busted a few early AM tapes, had a killer collection of getting busted tracks (cops, music school students, other haterz) slanted for an early EF release, and that was about it. The Alt Country scene was big in EL there, so we opened for those bands a million times and bummed everyone out. Didnt have a single fan, tons of freedom to explore. The 7" and CD contains various live gigs and other oddities, some with trumpet and other jammerz but the sounds are pure primitive rambling barely organized free sounds. Good youth crew times indeed!!! Edition of 200, color vinyl, color art." - American Tapes. |

Lynn David Newton, Tom McFaul, Richard Stanley, Bob Stuhler (the drummer of Hot Tuna) and David Rosenboom (on 1 track) recorded 60 minutes of creative music which was never released before. Again, this is a musical masterpiece, well-composed, well-crafted, touchy and twisted songs with a big influence from the British Underground. On some tracks the vocals sound like Robert Wyatt in the early 70´s. If you like the Canterbury sound, art-rock with Underground roots, you will love this one.

Artist: THIRD EYE, THE Title: Awakening Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $40.00 |
| "Numbered edition of 500 copies on 180 gram vinyl; glossy gatefold sleeve with insert. "With the help of many music friends and a lot of patience, we could finally arrange a deal to reissue the 3 albums by the South African band The Third Eye for the first time. The original pressing came out on Polydor. Perhaps Third Eye is the best band from S.A. with the most innovative and complex music. Most music lovers would vote Freedoms Children as the biggest influence in S.A,. rock, but Third Eye will share at least half of that cake. In cooperation with Dawn Selby (Hammond organ) and her brother Ron (guitar), this project came to life again. They where based in Durban, a coastal city several hundred miles away from the recording and musical hub of Johannesburg and started playing in 1968. The first album Awakening came out in 1969 when the female organ player Dawn Selby was only 14 years old. Just imagine her age when you listen to the amazing organ and piano tracks. Awakening was released in 1969 followed by 2 more albums Searching and Brother just one year later in 1970. What a musical output in such a short time. The band and composer must have sat on a volcano where they just waited to burst their music out onto the rock universe. Awakening is the most complex album of the three, with great brass arrangements, piano, Hammond organ, fuzz-guitar and vocals full of soul. Musically going in the direction of bands such as Electric Flag, The Flocks Dinosaur Swamps, Chicago, The Nice and Al Cooper. Pure electric underground of the best sort." -Shadoks |

The music is closer to the album Awakening without the brass arrangements. More organ based compositions with beautiful vocals and guitars. We must mention here the amazing drumming and bass which holds the complete tracks together and drives them forwards. As a musical comparison we would mention again the bands from the US and UK underground, such as Electric Flag, Chicago and Keef Hartley Band. But we must say, if bands from South Africa were not banned in Europe and the USA at the time the albums by The Third Eye came out, they would have become as popular and even more as the mentioned bands from USA and UK. All three albums are killer albums and we would not want to miss one of them." -Shadoks |

Today originals of this album are rare as gold dust and, among two or three others, the most valuable collectors item from South Africa. Many collectors who have basically everything in their collection are missing this one. The music is heavier, the lyrics full of political statements, more psychedelic and a bigger step down into the musical underground. The 14-minute track Awakening is really amazing, with tons of great organ parts and extra heavy fuzz-guitar." -Shadoks |

The trio rip through some highly-charged versions of classic pieces from both Blue & Yellow and Deceit, as well as an improvisation (Aerial Photography, the tone of which could well be the backing track for their classic, Triumph) and one previously unheard song (The Rough With The Smooth, circa Deceit).

Artist: THIS HEAT Title: This Heat Format: CD Label: This Is Country: UK Price: $16.50 |
| "This Heat, the band, emerged in early 1976 on the leading edge of what became the New Wave, but they were always apart, more scary and more subtle. Known as the most left-field, and at the same time most hard-edged, band in all of England, their concerts attracted experimental, punk and new wave audiences alike. Just a handful of performances made them the band everyone had to see, and every journalist had to interview. And the more we knew, the more enigmatic they became. This Heat was a passion. The band worked day-in, day-out for years in their own, now legendary, studio in Brixton (Cold Storage - sited in an old industrial meat refrigerator), or they were away somewhere touring abroad. In this hothouse environment, their material evolved and grew, and became increasingly intense; on the one hand more cuttingly simple, on the other more layered and more dense. When their first LP - itself several years in the making - finally appeared on David Cunninghams Piano label in 1979, with its distinctive blue and yellow sleeve, it acquired immediate iconic status. And over time it has also proved itself prescient; there are musical innovations here that anticipate genres that would take another 15 years to reappear. This Heat, the record was a landmark release. It tore up the book and laid new rules for band composition and performance. The music was without precedent; the musicians uncompromising; the recordings hammeringly intense and the sound deep, radical, and rich. This was music stripped back to the bone but never simplified. And it hasnt aged. The later CD version of the LP has now been out of print for some fourteen years (and is currently fetching $300-$350 second-hand), so this edition, the first on the new This Is label, re-mastered and repackaged by the group, will be doubly welcome. It is the first of a series of historical This Heat re-editions and unpublished works by the band to be released on this dedicated label." - This Is. |

Artist: THOMAS JEFFERSON SLAVE APARTMENTS Title: You Lookin For Treble? Format: CD Label: Year Zero Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "Comprised of material recorded between 1989 and 1994, You Lookin for Treble? is the musical equivalent of Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments junior-high yearbook. A document of the bands early, occasionally awkward stages, the album is marked by lineup shifts (detailed in the liner notes) and the usual trappings of a new band trying to find its sound. Over the course of Treble?s 20 tracks, the band gels into an abrasive, yet danceable, noisy punk outfit (fittingly heavy on the treble all the way around) led by vocalist Ron House who was quite clearly trying to distance himself musically from his recently disbanded bouncy rock/new wave outfit Great Plains. With the rhythm section in an almost constant state of turnover, the bands sound is defined by Houses snide tirades and Bob Petricks nimble guitar work characterized by a winning balance of barred chords and false harmonics (also present in Petricks other first-rate outfit, Girly Machine). Of the songs included on You Lookin for Treble?, only one, "You Cant Kill Stupid," ever found its way on to a proper Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments studio effort (a cleaned up take appears on 1995s Bait & Switch), though several others can be found on the bands impossible-to-find early singles and their infamous promo-only 10", as well as various compilation records (at least half a dozen of the songs are available on volumes one and two of Datapanik Records Greatest Hits). You Lookin for Treble? serves nicely as the missing link between Houses exit from Great Plains and Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments 1995 major-label debut, Bait & Switch, on the American/Onion imprint." - AllMusic. Sorta tough to find, not very well distributed, 1997 release from Ron House and crew. 500 pressed. |

A traveling musician with an older style than many of the country blues musicians recorded in the 20s. Includes his classic numbers Fishing Blues, Railroadin Some, Honey, Wont You Allow Me One More Chance, the beautiful gospel number Jonah in the Wilderness and many more." -Mississippi. |

Artist: THOMAS, URAL Title: Fade Away/Smile Format: 7" Label: Mississippi Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "The fourth volume in our North Portland Music Series -- a most unusual record. Ural recorded this in his house with a bunch of neighborhood kids back in 1970. Fade Away is reminiscent of the bad trip portion of Sly & the family Stones Theres A Riot Goin On. A lazy funk riff is accompanied by drony vocal incantations & kids blowing into sawed off bed posts as if they were trumpets! It really happened. Smile is a more straightforward simple ballad wherein Ural sends a positive message out to the world. Ural self pressed 300 copies of this way back when just to prove to the kids accompanying him on it that they can do anything they want if they put their minds to it. Its message rings true today. Housed in a thick old school tip on sleeve." -Mississippi |

Artist: THOMAS, URAL Title: Push Em Up/ Deep Within My Heart Format: 7" Label: Mississippi Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "The third volume in our North Portland Music Series, two great soul songs by local legend Ural Thomas recorded in 1960. Push em, Up is an upbeat soul stomper for the dance floor. Deep Within My Heart is a pretty ballad with tight harmonies & lots of groove. Ural is an underappreciated musician who toured opening for Otis Redding back in the day, had James Brown plagiarize his style, played in countless bands in Portland & Seattle, built a house out of debris salvaged from the Willamette river, mentored countless kids in the neighborhood, & probably wrestled an alligator or two. Proof that unsung heroes live right in our backyard. Housed in a thick old school tip on sleeve." -Mississippi |

Artist: THOMPSON, MAYO Title: Corkys Debt To His Father Format: CD Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $13.50 |
| "Mayo Thompsons until now ultra-rare solo album. The album was produced in Houston, Texas in 1970 by Thompson, Frank Davis and Roger Rocket Romano for the short-lived but nonetheless legendary Texas Revolution label of Walt Andrus. Though pressed and advertised in the pages of Rolling Stone, the demise of the label meant the album went largely undistributed until the mid 1980s when Glass Records (London) gave it its first proper release. Coming as the sun set on the first psychedelic rock era, Corkys Debt evokes the early days of acoustic blues, but is already in the maelstrom from which punk rock would emerge just a few years later. The set features innovative performances by some of Houstons finest musicians of the time playing eleven songs by Thompson - one with Frederick Barthelme, with whom he started The Red Crayola. They represent a broad range of expressive manners and forms. Made to stand with the finest comparable work of the period, Corkys Debt shows Thompson at his most accessible. Unique ballads, blues, rock and love songs flow one to another with style, grace and intensity, and the handling of diverse popular-music idioms and language that characterize his more widely known work in The Red Crayola are also to be found. The line between genius and madness is very thin." - Drag City. |

Artist: THOMPSON, MAYO Title: Corkys Debt To His Father Format: LP & 7" Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "One of the great Drag City releases (and one of the great American music solo albums) finally on vinyl again." - FE. "In 1970, Mayo Thompson (once-and-future leader of The Red Krayola) recorded an album entitled Corkys Debt To His Father. Walt Andrus Texas Revolution label released the record -- but just barely, selling a few hundred LPs with no promotion to speak of. The copies that made it into shops became the treasured objects of taste-makers around the globe -- which made Corkys Debt To His Father an influential record down the years. As punk rock, new wave, post-punk and all the rest came along, it was inevitable that this lost classic of independent music would be discovered by a wider audience. In 1988, the album was reissued on the UK Glass Records imprint but went out-of-print again in short order. Then in 1994, Drag City brought Corkys Debt To His Father back to the USA, as well as to the CD format for the first time. Additionally, a third pressing of the vinyl was made. The CD has been a perennial favorite ever since -- but after just a few months of robust sales, the LP artwork and jackets were destroyed in a fire, thus putting the end to the life of Corkys Debt To His Father on vinyl once again. A fast fourteen years later, its our pleasure to bring this classic of two-sided entertainment back to the table (the turntable, that is) with a special limited-edition pressing of Corkys Debt To His Father. Wrapped in a jacket that recalls the halcyon days of solid LP dominance, this new pressing comes with a 7" single featuring the instrumental Woof, which was recorded at the same sessions but not released until The Red Krayolas 2004 compilation CD Singles. The B-side of this single is a never-before heard take on John Cages 433" played by fellow traveller Sergei McUgly."-Drag City |

| "Odd serially-inflected compositions for classical guitar. A wide breadth of obscure and fragmented influences represented here, all internal. Carter Thornton of Izititiz and Zakashi-Warashi." -S@1. "If you are a fan of the archaic format of music storage and delivery known as vinyl then you are also probably experienced in the art of search and rescue when faced with a pre-auction era, dusty, moldy shop filled to the rafters with such blasts from the past. Every now and then one comes upon a platter in one of these fading outposts, marked at about $3.99. Cover seams split, maybe some radio call letters scrawled in marker, maybe a booze-coffee-bongwater spill splayed like a Rorschach on the back. Perhaps it is the cover art itself that draws your attention black and white photos seemingly from another time in content and message. Or perhaps it is the title of the albumthe way it rolls off the tongue, its playfulness marked by a seemingly obscure reference. The fact that there are no song titles may pique your interest why is this? Are there even songs on there? You can see the gaps in the grooves so there is some sound being broken up with seconds of silence. You wipe the grime off the grooves with your shirtsleeve and take the disc over to the crappy player up by the register. You pop it on, slip the needle in the groove, and immediately you have the thought ⿿What the hell is this?!?!? Youre hearing one of those rare recordings of a singular and personal vision. A solo guitar performance that not only operates outside any current or previous fashions, but one that seems to render the idea of recorded music as commerce a nonreality. Although you are carried away with delight by the sounds you are hearing, you cant help but wonder why this person recorded this music. His intent is as elusive as the music he is presenting. It seems as though you are there with the player, this audio mirage helped by sounds of his chair creaking, his arm brushing against the side of his instrument, his fingers scraping across the strings. You purchase the item straightaway, as determined to figure out the history of the recording as you are to wear out its grooves with repeated listenings. With Ten Fingers for Forefathers the proverbial chase has been cut right to. Take a listen and see if you can crack the sonic code contained therein. Edition of 500 Recorded at Black Dirt Studio"- Black Dirt. Black Dirt is the new in-house label from Jason Meaghers (NNCK, K Salvatore, Coach Fingers, D Charles Speer and the Helix, etc...)

Artist: THOSE ATTRACTIVE MAGNETS Title: Electromagnetic Pulse Format: LP Label: Dark Entries Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
|
"Those Attractive Magnets were created early 1980 in a town called Tamworth, the heart of the English Midlands, as a vehicle for Rikk Quay (keyboards) and Andy Baldwin (vocals). They self-released a super limited cassette EP, Pictures on the Wall in 1980 and the Nightlife/Love Chimes 7? in 1983 and appeared on a Futurist music compilation LP, Synthetic Romance in 1982.
Their music travels beyond copycat synthpop bands of the time into electronic realms of the 80s underground scene. There are some obvious parallels of the time you can hear the commercial strains of The Human League, Soft Cell and Kraftwerk at times but the band never wholly embraced commercialism as these tracks reveal. Although their sound takes a cue from the post-punk and early new romantic scenes, it still remains one step ahead in a unique futuristic world full of delicious dance beats!
Electromagnetic Pulse is the first ever compilation of a number of tapes Those Attractive Magnets produced during their three creative and prolific years of song writing, 1980-1983. This LP contains remastered versions of both songs from the 7? as well as 2 songs from the cassette EP and a different version of the song that appeared on Synthetic Romance; 9 songs in total, 7 of which have never appeared on vinyl until now! Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies with an 1117 poster/insert of lyrics, photos and liner notes by Sam Holliday." - Dark Entries.

Artist: THOUGHT BROADCAST Title: Emergency Stairway Format: LP Label: Editions Mego Country: Austria Price: $21.00 |
"Emergency Stairway could have been Thought Broadcasts debut vinyl full-length. In fact, when commissioned in early 2012, only one 7" and two super-limited tapes were in existence, until some other label snapped to the finish with an even older commission. So, lets say an "almost-debut." Confused? Well, yes, thats probably the point. Ravi Binnings Thought Broadcast project oozes out a dank and confused audio experience isolated way beyond the city limits. A glance at the titles suggests a routing in the primeval real industrial mind-set, hooked up to classic dub sensibility. Listening to these fascinating recordings, one gets the impression something happened in the room that you are probably not supposed to know about, hinting at a twisted form of Aktionism. Beyond the analog grime (these tracks were delivered to label as cassettes, then carefully transferred and mastered at Dubplates and Mastering in Berlin) lays some real treats with "Orgone Theater" and "Portrait Heads" fitting neatly beside V.O.A.-era Cabs in your local disco. Simply put, a beautiful record." -Editions Mego.

"You can not stop thinking. About 18, I finally calmed down, I thought I could stop thinking completely. I become a zombie for four years. Then, in a broken heart, I started again. I came out of the "grip" that held me tight. I started hearing voices. I also tried to kill time. First, you must confess that its people like you and I believe that is broadcasting the idea. It is terrible. When I look around, I am someone who is the same idea with me. My idea is to broadcast. You can read our thoughts. The first is that we can consider a bad idea (like gender or a persons weaknesses). Second, we believe that we have the power to make people read our thoughts, even if it is bad. Because it has the broadcasting of this thought, please consider why it is a lot of people. To hear any ideas you and I are thinking of and I thought of you. Some people think that for all this world, and you can hear what you think they are. The reason for this is that you can read the mind of everyone of us. There have been times when I have an idea that I will consider evil. I do not believe them, but I know they are in my own voice in my head. Then, I would think that they have been implanted by external forces trying to influence my behavior.

Artist: THREE FORKS Title: Seven Layer Ape Format: CD Label: United Fairy Moons Country: New Zealand Price: $13.00 |
|
"This collection of 2002-04 recordings by the recently deceased Dunedin trio Three Forks is the first widely available disc to feature guitarist Donald McPherson since 2001s solo effort Bramble (metonymic), praised for its originality and McPhersons obvious mastery of guitar picking, His longstanding weekend duo with Sandoz Lab Technician Tim Cornelius was expanded early in 2002 to include James Currin, and although they didnt play out for over a year they setttled down to regular jamming and recording, initially concentrating on shortish improv power-trio jams, on guitar, drums and cello respectively. This first phase is represented here by two tracks, Ums and Ahs and Peru, with McPherson way out front on electric guitar, his extraordinary improvising imagination leading the group down a line somewhere between rock and a giddy free-jazz cuckoo-fest. By the time of their first shows in 2003, the balance had spread out with Currin and Cornelius contributing on a wide variety of instuments, and McPherson mainly on acoustic. In this year they recorded Baby Ives, released as one half (with Eye) of a lathe-cut 10", which veered wildly in mood between the hideous and the gorgeous, with vocals, radio and drum machine used in addition to the acoustic arsenal - it was a pointer towards the strange, rickety beast that is represented on the 03/04 recordings here. The opener Dust Tea is a quiet beauty, simple violin and cello framing McPhersons entrancing home-made-guitar plucks. Otaru Vision and Trimming The Verge drone and saw, playing elevation against irritation with strong noise elements, while Page 99 and Drunken Traffic achieve a level of melodic layering that is extraordinary for a purely improvising group. The last in particular, a complete 15-minute jam recorded live at Dunedins Community Gallery, points out where this groups head was at when they were at their best - a near-wallowing in melodic intensities that never caramelizes, and never, ever heads in the direction you expect it to. Indeed like this track, almost every track on Seven Layer Ape is a complete, unedited, un-fucked-with performance (only Otaru Vision is an excerpt) with just their fronts and ends tidied up; and while the Community Gallery recording is a little cavernous, replete with the sounds of car alarms, engines, and passing late-night-shoppers, the rest of the disc features exceptionally clear and present sound, unusual in a band mining this area of the improv universe. James Robinson, who drew the cover art, is known NZ-wide for his massive, completely insane graphomaniac canvases, and each cover is handscreened and partially hand-painted by Currin and Cornelius. Were very happy to be able to present this bands work and in particular to present another side of Donald McPhersons world-class guitar playing. This label got its start with his Liquified lathe LP (a recording of a 2001 gig), and both Cornelius and Currin contributed to that record; and so it is that our first real CD release should be this impressive and singular album." - United Fairy Moons.

Artist: THREE LEGGED RACE Title: Persuasive Barrier Format: LP Label: Spectrum Spools Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "Three Legged Race is the ongoing, ever-evolving project of Robert Beatty, a Lexington, Kentucky-based multi-media artist and founding member of noise band Hair Police. 2012 has been a busy year for Beatty, as hes provided his personal brand of visual art for countless excellent albums, and has also released new audio works (the outstanding Wrong Element 12" on Acoustic Division is essential). Persuasive Barrier is the debut full-length album from Three Legged Race, recorded over a period of five years. The album begins with "Traces of a Wet Crowd," creating a spacious and synthetic environment for the album to unfold upon with its rolling, cryptic vocal spray and high-frequency pulsing. "Traces" seamlessly collides with "Permethrin," a track which suspends the listener in juxtaposed clatter and wide open space. "Persuasive Barrier" plays like a lost Mort Garson theme accidentally found on Haruomi Hosonos soundtrack to the fictional film Cochin Moon. The lonely vocal passages and dream-like melody trails lead the listener down a very personal path, where the visual and audio aspects of Beattys world leave the artist exposed for your examination. Listen carefully, these moments are woven together in a complex way that warrants repeat visits to this special stasis. The flip of Barrier starts with the warm "Butter Colored Hallway," which hovers over the stereo field like a hot cloud, slowly moving and dripping micro details as it floats into "Locked Eyes," which is another wonderful and melodic passage. The album heads for the abstract and jagged ("Budgeting Air") before arriving at a complex bed of rhythms ("Permethrin II") where the album comes full circle. Persuasive Barrier sees Beatty organize many of his musical ideas and themes old and new into a fluid, flowing and comprehensive debut. Mastered by James Plotkin." -Spectrum Spools. |

| "Originally released in 1980, Heathen Earth is a crucial live document of industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle. In member Chris Carters own words: "You had to have been there. Which is what we always say about TG. TG on record and TG live are two completely different things." This album is probably the closest approximation of the two youll ever get: its a "live in-studio recording" made in front of a small audience and the event was filmed by Monte Cazzaza with the intention of also releasing it on video. The majority of the set is instrumental, fluctuating between the raw electronics of their early work and the bands more melodic material. Tracks include a rework of early classic "After Cease To Exist" and Brion Gysin fave "Dreammachine." The bonus CD includes live recordings, plus the 7" single versions of "Subhuman" and "Adrenalin."

Each of the CD special-editions are presented in a gatefold sleeve featuring restored and remastered cover artwork and an integrated 8-page booklet (the booklets feature different artwork and content than the vinyl editions). Each CD special-edition also includes an exclusive bonus CD containing content from the year of the albums original release, including live tracks and remastered singles. Originally released in 1977, TGs Second Annual Report features various recordings of "Slug Bait" and "Maggot Death," plus the 20-minute soundtrack to After Cease To Exist, a short film featuring a castration sequence. A scathing debut from these avant-garde legends. The bonus CD features additional live recordings from this period, plus the 7" single versions of "Zyklon B Zombie" and the strangely-accessible "United."" -Industrial |

Artist: THROBBING GRISTLE Title: Throbbing Gristle Bring You... 20 Jazz Funk Greats Format: Double CD Label: Industrial Country: UK Price: $22.00 |
| "Originally released in 1979, 20 Jazz Funk Greats is Throbbing Gristles pop-influenced masterwork. Its hard to believe the beautiful, conventionally-attractive Cosey Fanni Tutti on this albums front cover previously gave herself milk and blood enemas in front of a live audience. Additionally, the song "Hot On The Heels Of Love" is far removed from the dissonant nihilism of the previous TG albums. Its a sleek, minimal synth-pop song that foreshadows Tuttis later work as Chris & Cosey. Still, 20 Jazz Funk Greats is underpinned by a profound distance from accessibility. The breezy luminosity of "Persuasion" and "Six Six Sixties" is still marked with casual bits of distortion and absurdism. Preceding dark synth-pop (and everything else), TGs third album is far ahead of its time and still sounds as relevant as ever. The CD version includes a bonus CD of live recordings, including two versions of the manic classic, "Discipline." The 8-page full-color book includes visual ephemera and previously-unpublished photographs. Cover artwork has been painstakingly restored from the original source material." -Industrial |

| "Its impossible to deny Throbbing Gristles working methods and innovation are so deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of... everything. TGs subversive dismantling of the apparatus of social control casts such a long shadow, and as impossible as it may seem, this collection actually provides an exceptional summation of their best work. The first real industrial group, the founders of Industrial Records and one of the most important electronic music innovators of all time, TG redefined music and laid a large part of the groundwork for all electronic music that followed. The CD version includes a bonus CD of live recordings, plus two previously unreleased mixes from the 1980s: "The Old Man Smiled (Alternative Mix)" and "AB/7A (Alt Mix)." The 8-page full-color book includes visual ephemera and previously-unpublished photographs. Cover artwork has been painstakingly restored from the original source material.

Artist: THU20 Title: Tilburg Format: LP Label: Korm Plastics Country: Netherlands Price: $16.00 |
|
"A live recording made in Paradox in Tilburg in October 2007. Over the past twenty years one of the bigger enigmas of industrial music or modern musique concrete has been THU20. They seldom record or play live, yet when they do, a lot of attention is placed on the detail. In the studio this leads to perfectly shaped sonic constructions, and in a live concert a detailled balance between the various interests of the five players involved. The computer work of Jos Smolders and Roel Meelkop, the acoustic sound objects of Peter Duimelinks and Frans de Waard and the analogue electronics of Jacques van Bussel. A small selection of live recordings by THU20 has been made avialable before, such as a split LP with Merzbow, and live recordings from Nancy. Tilburg fits that particular line of THU20 work. Various recordings were made, from the P.A. aswell as by the individual players, which were slightly edited by THU20. Cover by Meeuw." -Korm Plastics

Artist: THUJA Title: Pine Cone Temples Format: Double CD Label: Strange Attractors Audio House Country: USA Price: $17.50 |
| "Much has been said about The Jewelled Antler Collective, the fertile womb from which Thuja emits its primordial ooze, and of Thuja itself. A loose-knit assembly of like-minded sound ecologists who study the connections between their immediate environment and the music created by its players, Jewelled Antler claims a multitude of music makers in its orbit - Blithe Sons, Skygreen Leopards, Franciscan Hobbies being just a mere cross-section. Thuja, however, remains one of the earliest and best-known incarnations. Steven R. Smith, Glenn Donaldson, Loren Chase, and Rob Reger coalesce interests in field recordings, found sound, experimentalism, folk and psychedelic rock (among others) to weave seriously detailed and immense journeys into pure sound. By incorporating real-time recordings of natural sounds from their particular surroundings, the four members of Thuja play off each other and the space they inhabit with impeccable instinct, succeeding in creating eerie yet strikingly melodic compositions. The end result is a total immersion of the senses, for both the player and the listener. Across the grand expanse of Pine Cone Temples two discs, implements such as piano, guitars, percussion, and well-placed contact mics are blended like pigments to conjure the subtlest of sonics, pulling every lost drop of their immediate universe into floating and buzzing cinematics. Minimalist hues are brush-stroked into being and slowly unfurl into the atmosphere. Improvised clouds of sound softly erupt to form compositions of such immense and precise detail, it would seem the music was written out rather than spontaneously developed. Such is the magic of Thuja and their uncanny ability to sculpt microscopic psychedelia from their immediate environment and collective consciousness." Strange Attractors Audio House. |

Artist: THUJA Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Important Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
|
"This is a limited edition of 500 copies on LP. Improvisational Bay Area quartet Thuja create aural landscapes that capture the reverberations of wood and wire, the sounds of breaking sticks and scraping stones, and the ambience of their surroundings into a shifting, dynamic musical framework. The members of Thuja play off each other and the space they inhabit with a natural instinct, succeeding in conjuring spectral compositions which are at once abstract yet inviting. For this self-titled release, their sixth full-length and first for Important Records, Thuja have assembled recordings from various live performance spaces (the Hemlock, the Oaklandish Gallery, Pehr Space, Kains Greenhouse) and have welcomed a variety of guests into the fold to help assist and expand their microscopic psychedelia toward a new plateau. After eight years, the semi-annual gathering of the members of Thuja is almost traditional, but new clearings are still to be discovered in its thickets of sound. This self-titled release is yet another essential artifact from Thujas ongoing explorations."- Important

Artist: TIETCHENS, ASMUS Title: Aus Freude Am Elend Format: CD Label: Die Stadt Country: Germany Price: $26.00 |
| "Eleventh part in the ongoing re-release series of all early Tietchens albums between 1980-1991. Aus Freude Am Elend is based on the human voice as a primary sound source and was originally released in an edition of 500 copies on Dom America in 1988. The CD includes two previously-unreleased tracks and comes in a jewel case with full color artwork and poster booklet also featuring the original front and back cover. First edition of 600 copies. "Following my research of piano and water sounds, it didnt come as a surprise that my next project was about the human voice as a sound source. The great masters of Plunderphonics already showed the way in the early 80s, when they plundered the gigantic junk-shops packed full of already recorded material, which was stolen by them to use it for their own aesthetic targets. This album only consists of such stolen goods. Each track (with the exception of In Memoriam P.F.) was based on voices of people who I naturally didnt ask their permission to use these recordings in the first place. So you can hear the voices of ecstatic religious people as well as other people making love. Youll also hear someone singing to Annette and Peggy out of the trash bin of a publishing company. Even the screams of furious teachers came in handy while I made loops from them. Especially loops: rarely before this album and only once after it did I made use of the structural means of loops to such an extent. I was fascinated by the rhythmical and harmonic permanence, in the same way as many of my musical colleagues at the time. The aspect of the ritual was a self-evident common formulation in difficult music during the 80s, so loops and tape voices, monotonous rhythms and LoFi became obvious means to shape the music. Aus Freude Am Elend too was strongly spiced with these ingredients and therefore can be seen as a prototype album of this specific view of music during the time. This tendency was supported -- even partly inspired -- by a new generation of sound machines, which also made it possible for new aesthetic goals to appear at the horizon. The 90s were near at hand and sound art music would develop drastically in many ways in the years to follow. Samplers, digital editing, hard-disc recording and the first PCs opened new doorways. Half of the material on Aus Freude Am Elend was already created with these digital tools. I never quite understood how the labels Dom America (run by Jon Carlson) and Dom here in Germany were connected. Was Carlson a fan of Dom which was founded by Christoph Heemann and Achim Flaam? Did he simply like the release politics of this label? And what became of Dom America? Actually I dont know. I guess it was one of the small enthusiastic independent labels which released a handful of titles and which disappeared after being active for a couple of years during the 80s. However ,Aus Freude Am Elend had vanished shortly after its release. I only used stolen voices twice again after this album, by the way." -Die Stadt |

"Part six in the ongoing re-release series of all early Tietchens albums on CD. Formen Letzter Hausmusik was originally released on United Dairies (the label run by Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound) in 1984. The original album consisted of a mix of archive tracks from the late 1960s / early 1970s and new tracks specially recorded for the release. Many people see Formen Letzter Hausmusik as the first real Tietchens album laying the basis of what was about to follow in his long recording career and therefore vote this album among the most important and best Tietchens works. The CD version includes three unreleased bonus tracks and comes with the usual poster booklet featuring the original cover art plus text by Tietchens about the album." - Die Stadt.

Artist: TIETCHENS, ASMUS Title: In Die Nacht Format: CD Label: Die Stadt Country: Germany Price: $22.00 |
| Fourth part in the re-release series of all early vinyl albums by Asmus Tietchens on CD. This is the third of the SKY albums from 1982 incl. three bonus tracks of unreleased material not included on the original LP. "I found myself trying to square the circle, wanting to have the rich detail of my short works at the same time as creating longer pieces. This experiment, an equivalent to doing the splits, was only partly successful. It is not really possible to create pieces of six minutes or more from ideas which are only adequate for tracks of three minutes, unless one is willing to risk musical redundancy or, worse, long-windedness. In retrospect, the four central tracks of In die Nacht are too long for the material from which the are built. Back in 1982 though, my opinion was different. Nonetheless, I did gain my first insight into the rules of time and proportion, even though I was not able to handle them perfectly." -Asmus Tietchens, 2004 |

Limited edition of 500 copies." -Die Stadt |

Artist: TIETCHENS, ASMUS Title: Notturno Format: CD Label: Die Stadt Country: Germany Price: $23.00 |
|
"Tenth part in the ongoing re-release series of all early Tietchens albums between 1980-1991. Notturno was originally released by Spanish label Discos Esplendor Geometrico in 1987 and also by Barooni on CD in 1992. Remastered version in a first edition of 600 copies in jewel case with full color artwork and poster booklet also featuring the original front and back cover. By the time Studie für Klavier (Formen Letzter Hausmusik, DS84) was released, it actually wasnt my first attempt to use the piano as a sound source. Various pre-studies came before this, but all which either were not characterized as such in their title or simply didnt make it onto record. I was intrigued by the great range of sounds it offers in general, but also by the multiple possibilities to produce sounds inside of the piano. Of course I was fully aware that these techniques had already been used by other composers like Henry Cowell and John Cage in the past. Not only could I make use of a grand piano in 1986, I also had the technical equipment at hand which didnt leave nothing to be desired. I wasnt quite precise calling these pieces Studien für Klavier (Piano) by the way, as I was actually using a flügel (grand piano). I began preparing the strings in an almost old fashioned way, also producing sounds with unusual aids (electric gastr beater, wire brush, coins and others). Then in another step, with the help of the studio, I carefully started working on the recorded sounds. While doing this, I wasnt even afraid of using some good old avant-garde tricks, by the way. But I wont tell. The fact that Notturno was released by an industrial label, shows how much the interest in unusual electro-acoustic music had grown at the time. In fact, Notturno is nothing less than an industrial album. To my own delight and to the delight of the listeners as well, I used techniques which were introduced in the field of new music since several years already. As a result, Notturno can be seen as a cross between musical styles. On one hand it sounds academic, but in fact it isnt. But the question whether this was U (popular) or E (serious) was obsolete anyway, as electro-acoustic experiments didnt exclusively belong to the circle of serious composers anymore. Of course I wasnt the first or only non-academic composer who produced music, which couldnt be categorized easily then, and maybe even still not until today. As a result, the exchange of these new aesthetic strategies with other musicians and listeners in the mid-80s, further encouraged the musicians to produce such music, and as a result, labels such as Discos Esplendor Geometrico could be sure to sell a small edition of 500 copies in a fairly short time. The ears had opened up for this genre-crossing music and the heads were ready to accept. We had succeeded breaking new ground." -Die Stadt

Artist: TIETCHENS, ASMUS Title: Teils Teils Format: LP Label: Swill Radio Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "Ive been a fan of Asmus Tietchens music since Formen Letzter Hausmusik came out in 1984. That LP fascinated me and I soon began acquiring anything I could by this strange musical force. Ive learned a lot from his music over the years and we became acquainted via the post in the late 90s. As it turns out, we both have an extreme fondness for cigarette smoking and an interest in Max Nordau, so what better place for his first LP release in years than Swill Radio? The side-long Teilmenge 20 starts off the LP with an odd manic ticking that never lets up. Other sounds ebb and flow throughout and the whole piece has the rare quality of sounding totally artificial and yet organic at the same time. The second side slows things down with three tracks of dripping industrial ambience. The whole LP brings to my mind an atmosphere of waiting. To quote my good friend Matt Krefting, No ones music sounds both as cold and as emotional in quite the same way as the music of Asmus Tietchens." -Swill Radio. |

Side B features two new pieces from Kouhei Matsunaga. 500 copies. First 100 copies are on color vinyl. Important released some highly praised records with Kouhei Matsunaga including a collaborative CD with Sean Booth (Autechre) and Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), a split LP with Mika Vainio and a full length CD of his own solo work. The breath and quality of Kouheis work was apparent across these three releases and his compositions for this split LP serve to create connections between his beat based work and his more abstract soundscapes. Kouheis most recent solo work was just released by Skam. Asmus Tietchens contributions to contemporary electronic music is immense. The two pieces making up his side of the record have been sculpted from stochastic sequences of pure sine waves as well as guitar samples given to him by Dirk Serries (Fear Falls Burning) not for the purpose of collaboration but for processing purposes.

Judging by the music heard on Vanishing Fist, their first salvo under the name Tight Meat Duo, these twentysomething/thirtysomething Glaswegian deviants are prime examples of the dictum that the new wave of free musicians act on impulse. Theyve studied and immersed themselves in some of the most life affirming vibrations of all time, those silhouettes, shadows and forecasts of tomorrow disguised as free jazz, as Sun Ra almost put it; sensed this essence flooding their synapses, rewiring their DNA, messing with the id so inherited 3D vision becomes implanted Third Eye cosmology; and now theyre getting in on the aktion.

He continued playing the blues and singing gospel, despite going blind, up until his death on November 3, 2004. In the 40s Tillis played the Chicago blues circuit. However, when a revelation convinced him it was the devils music, he moved back home and began preaching the gospel. This LP is culled from 72 hours of cassette tapes recorded during the last 10 years of Tillis life. Extremely lo-fi gospel with Tillis playing guitar and singing into boombox.

Lucas Crane(Non-Horse) and Heidi Diehl, these New Yorkers flee the trappings of the fashion capital of the world for the land of home grown psychedelia. Non-Horse plays a crate of cassette tapes and a chain of delay. Wrapping sounds from various sources into a concocted aural remedy from reality, a psychedelic blanket sheltering you from the outside world. Heidi lends her voice and dripping dream guitar work to the powers at hand, juxtaposing heavy bass with light whispers and shimmering strings with deep murmurs. On the B side fellow spirit forcer Steve Gunn of GHQ brings a new element to the group, percussion. A natural oneness is developed between all players, creating earth music with a deeply rooted sense of calmness and serenity. In an edition of 100 numbered tapes with printed labels." -Arbor. |

Artist: TIMES NEW VIKING Title: Dig Yourself Format: CD Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "A collection of songs found on various cassettes (left as street shrines to the bands genius) from TIMES NEW VIKING. Lovingly fucked with by producer MIKE REP (GBVs Propeller and Get Out Of My Stations), Dig Yourself features eleven tracks of raw, primitive sounds, loaded with wheezing and croaking organs, flesh-hacking guitars, sick-snapping drums, and frantic male and female vocal dramas. TNV successfully skirt the current homogenization of the rock press pigeonhole. Neither are they new-weird-America, nor are they new-noise-underground. One suspects rather that the band is at the forefront of a new, yet-to-be defined movement." - Siltbreeze. |

"What you have here is a collection of songs found on the various shrine cassettes. Theyve all been lovingly fucked with by Mr. Mike Rep, (the man behind the lo-fi genius of Guided By Voices Propeller and Get Out Of My Stations among other things) and as the old saying goes the proof is in the pudding. TNV successfully skirt the current homogenization of the rock press pigeonhole. Neither are they new-weird-America, nor are they newnoise-underground. I suspect Times New Viking are at the forefront of a new, yet-to-be defined movement." - SIltbreeze. "the eleven songs contained herein are marked with reverence. Think of Dig Yourself as its own shrine, dedicated to the kling klang of classic lo-fi pop experimentalism and punk sentimentality - Xpressway Records back in the day, old school Dead C, GBV prior to the endless name checks, or shades of the Swell Maps mixed with a hundred unheard Nuggets-era singles. Without a doubt, this is one of the most surprising records of the year." - Dusted.

"Eight years after their partnership began with the debut of Dig Yourself, TIMES NEW VIKING and Siltbreeze join forces again for the bands latest outing-six tracks, the result of a recent creative (albeit, modest) outpouring of ideas. Whats interesting to note here is how the trio tempers the primal panic-punk of their salad days and fuses it with the sustained, keen pop skill found within their later catalog. Its hard to know where Times New Viking goes from here, but for right now, this perfectly distilled elixir of sound shows a band firing on all cylinders. What more can you ask for? Includes a digital download." -Siltbreeze.

Having developed even more vim and vigor, TNVs blur of high-concept pop, crud, and crunch is staggering. Its the malcontented rumble of Times New Viking wistfully channeling spirits from the grime of Washington Beach to the shine of the Otago Peninsula. And in Reich-speak, that may take a thousand years to achieve, but you dont have to be a Scottish weaver to know that paisley wasnt patterned in a day. Patience is a grace.

But its all good, right? Psychedelic Horseshits contrib continues to pile up the no-fi ante, tipplin towards the Axemen side of the coin; smearin, slashin both spleen n strings in the grand tradition of Bob Cardy & Stevie McCabe so expertly that if I didnt know better Id have figured these tracks was culled from a Sleek Bott cassette.

In a time when babies are seemingly born with mohawks and tattoos and everything fails to shock, how does one whos embodied the punk ethos for years survive? Easy...they become nice. In the decade weve known Tim Vulgar hes responsible for a large chunk of our favorite music. "Im a Nice Guy Now" is an all-out killer. Youre either already aboard this train or have been standing at the station for years, trying to figure out what in the hell is going on. Somber b-side shows the tender touch Timmy has.

Too pop for techno heads, too dancefloor-ready for ambient lovers, too weird for hipsters, too creepy for children, the eight songs on Tin Mans Scared are unlike anything else youll hear this year.

| "Tinopeners were an Irish punk band formed in May of ‘77 to perform at their high schools battle of the bands. Soon after, they began playing out, recorded a few rough demos at a local music store and sent them to George Doherty of Rip Off Records. The demos were well received and Rip Off put them in George Temple Patrick Studios to record a single which would be produced by Clive Culbertson. Afterwards, Culbertson brought the tape to London and LOGO Records offered to distribute the single. The singles two tracks sit more on the pop side of punk and contain some super catchy lyrics. Thus, the single was fairly successful; selling upwards to 3000 copies, but by 1981, the skinhead scene was growing in Northern Ireland, creating a social tension that would ultimately lead to the bands end. A second single was recorded but never released." - Sing Sing. |

Artist: TINY TIM Title: Lost and Found 1963-1974 Format: LP Label: Secret Seven Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "TINY TIM: Lost and Found 1963-1974 is a collection of 17 incredibly obscure songs consisting of previously unreleased actetates, privately pressed 45s, and an early 60s studio session that was arranged by MILTON GLASER. Much of the material on this release was thought to have been lost to time, but after many years of collecting and compiling by Tiny Tim enthusiasts, Secret Seven Records is making it available to a wider audience for the first time. Lost and Found contains tracks from Tinys pre-fame years, recorded between 1963 (When he was still known as DARRY DOVER) and 1966; as well as material from his post-fame years, recorded between 1971 and 1974. Furthermore, the material is unique because they both represent eras of desperation for Tiny Tim. The material from the 1960s represents Tinys years scraping by, performing in dives in Greenwhich Village and living with his parents who had, by 1963, written him off as mentally ill. The material from the early 1970s, recorded while his mainstream career was in its decrescendo, is representative of an time in which the world saw that brightest stars burn out the fastest. However, it was during these eras of desperation that Tiny recorded some of the best, eclectic, and intriguing material of his career. This limited edition LP includes liner notes by Tiny Tim historian / biographer, JUSTIN A. MARTELL and a cover photo by BARON WOLMAN." -Secret Seven |

It was recorded in Nigeria in 1977 and originally released on EMI, same as the great album BLO - Chapter One. This Nigerian rock-psych band Tirogo is similar to bands such as Ofege, BLO, Founders 15, Doves, and Aktion. Great African songs covered with wild guitar solos, spooky organ, great beats and strong vocals. 4 guys on the cover / 6 were actually in the band looking pretty young. It is getting harder and harder to find lost African bands since there is a big rave in the International music scene to hunt for good material. With the massive help of collectors and Now Again Records in the USA, who actually went to Nigeria to sign the boys, we are able to present this amazing album to you. It will suit the same music lovers who like Amanaz, The Witch, Question Mark and BLO." -Shadoks |

A tremendous neanderthalic, witchy all-fem DIY sucker punch right between the eyes of any of the greatest punk primitief classics you can name, right up there w/Kleenex & Manisch Depressiv. Id have peggedem as Swiss too, but theys Dutch & much like their infamous elm disease, Titmaster is more than capable of complete devastation. The B-side a wondrous mess as well & I am goin to the front of the line to wait impatiently for their next amazing release. Cmon, lets have it! NOW!" - SILTBLOG. "The four members of TITMACHINE met in prison (each was convicted of crimes she did not commit). Unable to find gainful employment upon their discharge from stoney lonesome, the ex-inmates formed a band, naturally, the ideal vehicle for the unemployable. The lucrative alternative Dutch music scene rewards them handsomely in exchange for the quartets release of pent-up rage fueled by continuing injustice. Since October 2006, Titmachines raw and loose sound has remained unhampered by the constraints of talent, and answers questions anyone has yet to ask. Kinda like the Dutch Shaggs meets the female Monks and Flipper with a conscience."-Meeuw Muzak. Restocked! |

Stripped of its NDW gloss, Titmachines reworking is more doused in raw Gueuze than refined Pilsener. In other words, them yeasts be wild yall! The flip is an awesome (& original) little jawdropper entitled 1989 & is remarkably akin to what the Shaggs might sound like tackling the Urinals Ack Ack Ack.

With a unique hybrid of bedroom ambiance and uni-versal atmospherics, singer-songwriter Daisuki Tobari weaves his folk stylings into a tapestry of oblique lullabies, introverted expansionism & timeless cosmic plunder. Obscure & sublime ruminations on the essence of endlessness draw parallels with the maverick visions of Magical Power Mako, Sun City Girls, Jandek & The Holy Modal Rounders.

Artist: TOLERANCE Title: Divine Format: LP Label: Tolerance Country: Japan Price: $22.00 |
|
Limited reissue of this amazing LP of primitive, murky minimal electronics which was originally released in 1981 on the legendary, Osaka based Vanity Records (early Sympathy Nervous, Dada, Sab, BGM, the mindblowing Music Box Set, etc..). The labels stock-in-trade (aside from a few titles such as Aunt Sally) was raw, electronic experimentation which sounds impressively comtemporary when put up against current glitch, minimal techno and laptop artists (this experimentation included toying with ideas of fidelity [or the lack thereof as is evident on first side of this record], recording techniques [hard panning, volume and frequency drop outs], etc..).
Tolerance, consisting of Junko Tanage and Masmai Yoshikawa, were the only band that released a second album on Vanity. Their first LP (Anonym, 1979) was supposedly the source for the title of the second Nurse With Wound LP, To The Quiet Men From A Tiny Girl.
The label, founded by Yuzuri Agi, also released flexi discs by artists such as Mario Agata, Kurt Schwitters, B. C. Gilbert & G. Lewis, Furious Pig (!!), Brian Eno and others through ROCK MAGAZINE, for which Agi was the music editor. He was also rumored to have ran VOICE records, which in 75-76 released the ultra-mysterious BRAST BURN and KARUNA KHYAL LPs, both featured on the hallowed Nurse With Wound list and reissued a few years back on Paradigm Disc.
"[Vanity] was founded in Spring 78 and its positioned as the first Japanese minor label. "MODERN MUSIC", an extra edition of Rock Magazine in 79 had the following as the operating priniciples of Vanity Records in future. "We will produce records pursuing 1). Electronics Music, 2). "Music as Furniture" series (Modernistic Music), 3). Invation to Kayo-kyoku, 4). Music with experimental new vision (Punk., New Wave, Free Music, Modernistic Music, etc.)." The point #3 may be surprising, but it makes sense considering that Mr. Agi used to be in the world of Kayo-kyoku (he debuted with "Kougen No Bojou" in 67, and had the hit movie theme song "Ore Niwa Tenshi No Kimi Datta"). Unfortunately, it has never been realized, but its so exciting to just think about the singer who debuts with Techno Kayo (just my imagination) on Vanity Records." - ?

A Bumpkins Empty Bravado (Japanese title: Inakamono no karagenki) is Tomokawas first completely solo album in fifteen years and a triumphant return to full-voiced form after his recent illness. Stripped of his usual backing band, theres a crystalline hardness evident in the best of Tomokawas songs here -- a hard, blazing core in which mellifluous lyricism and eruptions of highly individual madness are fused. Lyrically theres a new focus on Akita, the northern prefecture of his birth, as well as on the linkages between visual and musical art. Nine tracks; thirty-five minutes. Booklet includes liner-notes and lyrics in Japanese and English." -- Alan Cummings |

Artist: TOMOKAWA, KAZUKI Title: Akai Polyan (Red Polyanthus) Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "Eleventh PSF album from the Japanese undergrounds most handsome folk-truthteller and all-round renaissance man. Nine new songs, including two more musical settings for the symbolist poems of Japans Rimbaud: Chuya Nakahara. Tomokawa has inhabited an utterly unique world very much of his own making for over twenty-five years now. A world where the most limpid of minor melodies and symbolism-inspired natural imagery can happily rub shoulders with EXTREMELY peaked torrents of pained screams over the densest of acoustic noise-scapes. What welds it all together is Tomokawas self-evident to desire to take himself and his audience through the wall with every performance. Forget any image of the sensitive folkie, Tomokawas music is as violent and cathartic as anything in the underground rock or free jazz canon. For anyone at all still concerned with the possibilities of words, voice, and acoustic communication, Tomokawa is an unparalleled contemporary touchstone. There is more truth and beauty in any one of his songs than in most singer-songwriters entire repertoires. Believe it." - Alan Cummings. |

Includes Tomokawas ending theme song for director Rokuro Mochizukis Johnen - Jo no Ai, a re-telling of the Abe Sada story. Booklet includes lyrics in Japanese and English." -PSF |

Emotionally flayed acoustic chant exorcisms by a master; English listeners whove had trouble getting into Tomokawa might want to try again here; this is avant-folk expression like little youve ever heard before, and the opening track (title track) would have to go on any best of PSF sampler youd want to put together." |
|
Artist: TOMOKAWA, KAZUKI Title: Erise no Me Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "Tomokawas twelfth leader album on PSF (the title translates as The Eyes of Elise), and hence his nineteenth in a career that dates back to the mid-seventies. Tomokawa stands, together with Kan Mikami, as one of the most unique singer-poets thrown up by Japans folk boom of the late sixties and early seventies. Each new album from him represents not simpleminded progression but a privileged glimpse into a sound continuum as forcefully individual and special as any other name you might want to drop in this field (duh -- Buckley, Drake, Hurley, Jandek even). In Tomokawas universe, melodies of limpid and mellifluous grace rub shoulders with rhythmically violently and convulsive purges of soul bile. Tomokawas voice is one of the most special in the Japanese underground: ragged, strained and deeply accented, far removed from conventional standards of singerly intonation, but undoubtedly a sound of deeply human beauty. The group provide the ideal un-square settings for Tomokawas complex symbolist songs, at all times attaining a perfect marriage of acoustic density and forward lope. As an added bonus, long time admirer Keiji Haino adds some trademark abyssal guitar on two tracks." - Alan Cummings. |

Hanabana was originally issued in 1995 as PSF 029CD.Tomokawa is a legendary singer-songwriter similar to Kan Mikami, but more sensitive like Tim Buckley. It tends to be very difficult to drag westerners into Tomokawas insanely wired world, but once attached, his music has breathtaking depth and charge." - FE. |

Artist: TOMOKAWA, KAZUKI Title: Itsuka Tooku O Miteita Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "Compilation of new and previously released tracks from Kazuki Tomokawa, Japans god of emotionally transcendent song. Tomokawas convulsive and passionate songs have recently graced films by two of Japans most notorious directors, legendary underground director Koji Wakamatsu (whose career dates back to the early sixties) and Takashi Miike, the current enfant terrible of weird and ultra-violent genre flicks. Tomokawas appearance playing himself in Miikes time-travelling samurai vengeance movie IZO in particular has stunned festival audiences -- the violent, cathartic and irrational beauty of his songs chimes perfectly with the films mood. Twelve tracks in total, including Pistol the amazing title-track from IZO, previously only available as part of the PSF 13 CD boxset (PSFD-134 / 146). Also includes three entirely new tracks, and three radical re-recordings." - Alan Cummings. |

Artist: TOMOKAWA, KAZUKI Title: Kenshin e ichigeki Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "Screaming folk-poet Tomokawas twentieth album in a career that stretches back to the seventies. And theres still no sign of him mellowing with age -- he still spits lyrical bile and emotional venom like no one else on this earth. His forceful long-term group provides loose and translucent settings for Tomokawas beautiful madness, and the return of Ayumi Matsui on soaring violin is a very welcome development. This latest album was inspired by and is dedicated to the memory of Kenshin Sumitaku, a young free-meter haiku poet who died from leukaemia at the age of twenty-five. Yet another genuine, humanly touching, inspiring masterpiece from one of the unsung contemporary masters." - Alan Cummings. |

Artist: TOMOKAWA, KAZUKI Title: Live 2005 Banana Hall Osaka Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "Kazuki Tomokawas gigs are now a lot less frequent than they used to be, and his August 2005 Osaka date was his first in Kansai for quite some time. But accompanied by his long-time trio of Toshi Ishizuka on percussion and Masato Nagahata on piano, this was, in Tomokawas own estimation, the best gig that this trio has ever played. It was far too good a performance to be left to fading memories, and Tomokawa himself talked PSF into releasing it. Sixteen tracks of his patented soul-folk, emotionally charged and devastating as all hell." - Alan Cummings. |

"Limited LP set of 450 numbered copies and all but 50 copies stayed in Japan. We have the last of the 50 copies available from the label to sell for the USA market.� Satoru� is Tomokawa Kazukis first ever LP release in over 20 years time and Tiliqua Records is proud to be able to release this sonic gem. � Satoru� � was previously only available as part of the 13 CD Box set that PSF Records put out some years ago and has never been available outside of the set. Now �Satoru� is finally available apart from the illustrious box and is been rebirthed as an LP, housed in sturdy and heavy jacket adorned with Tomokawas artwork. Coming with the LP is a two-paged insert printed on high quality glossy paper. It contains liner notes penned down by Alan Cummings and Johan Wellens, notes that shed some clarity on Tomokawas universe, historical background, poetic qualities and the position he takes in within a long line of historical Japanese poets. In order to get a glimpse of the aural regions this album will steer into, this is an as close a comparison one can have using plain words. �There is a raw immediacy to Tomokawas performances that effortlessly hurdles many linguistic barriers, speaking direct to the listeners nerves and emotions� � Tomokawas voice constantly storms against the confines of his own vaguely symbolist words, harshly screaming or melodically moaning, the emotional voltage that courses through his delivery constantly threatening to melt their neural circuitry. � (AC) and � Tomokawa succeeds in triggering apocalyptic waves of emotionalism through the tiniest gestures exhorted from his guttural howls and fevered guitar strummings. Keeping a razor-sharp balance between self-tormenting pained gloominess and soul-searching poetic lyricism he manages to create a tense and innovative acoustic music, sounding simultaneously ancient and contemporaneously authentic. And it is here that his especial strength resides, a music fully drenched in the past, yet so attuned to the present moment. His snarling howl and single syllable guttural moans seem to bridge time and space, epoch and eras; hermetic yowls recalling Enka crooners, circus sideshow barkers, carnival callers, Nikkatsu movie gangsters and soft-hearted balladeers, all embodied in the persona of Tomokawa Kazuki� - From the liner notes. One time only press of 450 copies.

Artist: TOMOKAWA, KAZUKI Title: Sora No Sakana (Sky Fish) Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "1999 album from Tomokawa -- Japans other greatest underground folk singer, not to mention accomplished poet and painter, inveterate on-stage drunk, and now successful bicycle-race tipster. Eight new tracks of deeply zoned, uniquely identifiable, pure folk-soul communication, that range from melodies of limpid beauty, to sudden plunges into viciously hammered guitar, that voice rising, now screaming, and cracking into violent fragments as the other instruments following into a flailing and cathartic rhythmic purge. On Sora No Sakana, Tomokawa returns to some familiar obsessions -- the possibilities of the nursery rhyme form, musical settings for the poems of Japans tragic symbolist poet Chuya Nakahara (in the 70s Tomokawa recorded an entire album of Nakaharas poems), and deceptively opaque natural imagery. At the centre of each song is Tomokawas acoustic guitar and unmistakable voice, augmented with an unusually resourceful and sympathetic group of longterm collaborators (including Toshi Ishitsuka from Vajra). A unique individualist talent worthy of more support." -- Alan Cummings. |

"Faithful official reproduced reissue housed in the always top notch mini-LP styled gatefold jackets, obi and inserts. This was Tomokawas first record, released in October 1975. He is undoubtedly the unequaled master of possessed song-spirit. Here the young Tomokawa wails and screams emotionally hard enough in order to strip the paint of the walls. Nevertheless at times he gets quite emotional and laid back in order to hush his haunting demons to sleep. Just a splendid piece of Japanese acid folk and chant exorcism. Tomokawas music is violent, emotionally charged with insane screaming modes, piercing sensitivity, cathartic rhythmic purge, thrashing acoustic guitar aesthetic and harsh, reflecting the atmosphere of the bleak northern prefecture of Aomori. Hardly turns up these days. Stunningly great psychedelic-acid-avant-outsider folk music. For fans of Mikami Kan, Jandek, acid folk, Iuchi Kengo, J.A.Seazer, psych heads all around and adventurous music geeks. If you are interested in acid folk, well look no further cause it will not get any better than this. Highly recommended official top notch high quality reissue of this rare early (1st) Tomokawa disc."-Showboat/Sky Station

"First ever DVD release on PSF. Eighteen tracks of screaming philosopher-poet Kazuki Tomokawa, recorded at the Apia folk club in Tokyo. Tomokawa has been playing at Apia for over thirty years, and his shows there are legendary for their honesty and human-mystery. This DVD compiles the highlights from four recent gigs, including stunning new tracks used in recent films by cult directors Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer, Visitor Q) and Koji Wakamatsu (Violated Angels, Sex Jack, Endless Waltz). Tomokawas impassioned acid folk stands as one of the greatest shining black stars in the post-war Japanese underground firmament. Whether suffused with bittersweet joy and lyrical insight, or rank with bitterness and self-directed bile, Tomokawa animates each and every song with an incomparable sense of life that has to be heard to be believed. A truly beautiful thing." - Alan Cummings.

"Ed. of 300 copies on 220 gm vinyl. Kemialliset Ystävät member Tomutonttu (Jan Anderzén) plays a bit like Dome to KYs Wire. The Ystävät-ness is there, but stripped down to the frame with a minimal synth breeze blowing through it. Beautifully lyrical in its layered abstractions, there is a sort of finely hewn composite of experimental dada electronics (ala early, early, early Die Todliche Doris or early, early, early P16.D4) and composerly elements (ala Rimarimba, Andrew Poppy or Meredith Monk). A few little Kraut-isms top off the tonic at no extra charge. Oh, and theres a bit that gets all spacey and chirpy like when the Virgin Prunes go completely bonkers (thats sure a helpful reference point... well, we like it). Basically, this is the music that the mothership had in the tape deck just before dropping Kemialliset Ystävät off in the 12th century." - Beta-Lactam Ring.

Tomutonttu ("Dust Gnome") is a human called Jan Anderzén, a visual artist and the leader of respected avant-garde sound group Kemialliset Ystävät. Toy reed streams, mutilated vocals and groovy loops of animal noise are some of the colors used to create the whirling mess that is the lonely song of Tomutonttu. It is like a confused and confusing detail of the Kemialliset Ystävät freedom-flow -- a microcosmos of strange sound creatures and dirt flying around in the stereo space, interacting with a logic all of their own. Harkening early electronic experimenters and avant composers of the past such as early Die Tödliche Doris and Meredith Monk, this album is like listening to 500 library records all at once, or walking through a labyrinth of motherboards, or laying on a scientists table with electrodes attached to your body while you are exposed to every noise, light, and color in their various range of spectrums. Tomutonttu has collaborated live with Mike Bernstein (Double Leopards, Religious Knives), Joshua Burkett, Tara Burke (Fursaxa), The Skaters, Glenn Donaldson (Jewelled Antler), Sami Sänpäkkilä (Es) and Clay Ruby (Davenport), and has recently played a series of concerts for school kids at the planetarium in his home town of Tampere, Finland." - Fonal. |

Well, this one sided 21 minute opus may alieviate some of the pressure youve put on your self for correctly trying to pronounce acts from the Finnish underground. Jan Anderzen was commissioned to make this album by the Aanen Lumo Fesitval for New Sounds. The music debuted at the Orion Theatre in Helsinki 11.10.10. Tomuuntuu conveys dozens of ideas in psychadelic electronic composition. Each short piece shifts into the next as if it was born out of the last one. Fluttering tremolo guitar, percussive hits, manipulated field recordings and electronics all bounce between stereo channels to create a sublime listening experience.

"The MP3 Deviation album contains pieces that are results of the collaborative research by a team of the New Aesthetics in Computer Music (NACM) and myself, led by Tony Myatt at Music Research Center at the University of York in UK in 2009. My idea was to develop new software based on the disruption of the MP3. Primarily I thought the MP3 as a reproducing device could have created a very new sound by intervention between its main elements, the compression encoder and decoder. It turned out that result was not satisfactory. However, we found that if the sound file had been corrupted in the MP3, the corruptions generated 21 error messages, which could be utilized to assign various 21 lengths of samples automatically. Combining with different playback speeds, it could produce unpredictable and unknowable sound. That is a main pillar of the software. We, also, added some other elements such as flipping stereo channels and phase inversing alternately with a certain length of frequency ranges, which resulted in different timbres and pitches. I performed several times at the MRC and I was certain that this software would be a perfect tool for performances. I have tentatively performed the piece in public in Kyoto, May 2009 and in New York, in May 2010. I also performed it successfully with totally different sound sources when I was invited for The Morning Line in Vienna in June 2011." - Yasunao Tone.

This past time becomes part of the future when historically contextualized. Early electronics, acoustic objects and the beginning of a form of structuralism was the mélange of that young mind.

| "Astounding new 24-minute 12" from one of Americas longest-running free rock outfits. New York Citys Tono Bungay features ace string picker Bob Bannister, who has lent his guitar talents to projects as diverse as Cat Power and Glenn Brancas recent100-guitar orchestra as well as releasing two solo LPs on Twisted Village. One could nary guess he was weaned on Finnish prog in Finland, no less! Drummer Tony Cenicola is content to lay down a solid backbeat for a few seconds before erupting into pure freedom, then throwing drumsticks at the kit (and audience), then whipping his drums with chains and whatever else is handy. Dada master Robert Dennis manipulates his masterfully planned Auto-Destruct labyrinth of bass, tape machines, and electronics, which is so beautifully planned by its creator that it often self-destructs long before Robert pushes that big red button. Kluge is sonically closer to the two-track squall of their 1993 debut LP Rough Music than the careful ambiance of Wunderkammer with their focus sharpened by nearly a decade of dedicated work on their unique approach to sound." -Twisted Village. 2001 release, limited editon paste on covers. |

"A reissue of the obscure yet classic psych folk gem All On The First Day by TONY CARO AND JOHN. Originally released in 1972, this album was somehow buried in the "stuff drawer" of time to be recently rediscovered by those inclined to look. The band was featured on the British Love Peace & Poetry LP and had Baltimore group Beach House cover their "Snowdon Song" on their debut album (re-titling it "Lovelier Girl"). Somewhere between the whimsy of The Incredible String Band and the stark beauty of Vashti Bunyan lie Tony Caro and John." -Gaarden

Artist: TONY, CARO & JOHN Title: Blue Clouds Format: LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Fans of the classic 1972 acid folk LP All On The First Day by Tony Caro & John rejoice! Yes, if you have one of the hundred or so copies of the original UK private press (with the hand-spray-painted cover, then you are probably a millionaire), or you purchased the ultra-limited Shadoks label reissue with EP in 2001, or the Gaarden records reissue of said reissue (if not, pressing two is still available, folks), there is still more! Drag City Records, Gaarden Records, and Galactic Zoo Disk have united forces to bring you Blue Clouds, a collection of the bands outtakes, rarities and live recordings spanning 1972 --1977. There are full band head-rockers here as well as quiet, stripped down home recordings-- plus a little drum machine sprinkled among the folky whimsy. Even casual fans of 60s psychedelic folkiness will enjoy this odds and sods compilation, as it stands up as a great lost album (do we even need mention that the trendy popsters Beach House ripped off a tune from TCJs Tony Dore? ah, probably not) and certainly serious fans of English pastoral folk like Incredible String Band, Bert Jansch, Left-Handed Marriage, The Holyground collective, Dr. Strangely Strange, Forest, etc. will need to grip this fast." - Drag City. |

Recorded in the heart of winter in a room with one blue light bulb, "The Crown Center" is pure nightprowler music: quaking bass, grime-jazz keys, dusty drums, witch choirs floating through the smog and into sleeping homes with the power lines cut. The sound of crime to come. The flip ("You Go On") slips deeper into the psych-psycho psyche, a bleached-brain riff-rhythm grinding away endlessly while voices and electric piano stabs arc across the stereo field, raining ash. A grimmer twist on the Topaz formula, the dreamers dream turned dark. 33 RPM 7-inch pressed on various colored vinyl in hand-silkscreened cardstock sleeves. Edition of 345." -Not Not Fun |

"The screams the unchained soarings of a sincerity which is on its way to this revolution of the whole body without which nothing can be changed." -- Antonin Artaud. "Arthur Magazine proudly presents our newest release Paradise Now: The Living Theatre in Amerika DVD featuring rare, never-before-distributed films and a bacchanal of revolutionary multimedia documents from The Living Theatres historic and influential 68-69 American tour. A fulminating art-meets-life installation brought to you in collaboration with The Living Theatre, The Ira Cohen Akashic Project and Saturnalia Media Rites of the Dreamweapon. Transform your living, work or performance space... hit play, but dont say we didnt warn you! DVD includes: Paradise Now: The Living Theatre in Amerika (1969) a film by Marty Topp, produced by Ira Cohen for Universal Mutant; Emergency (1968) a film by Gwen Brown, featuring precious footage of Living Theatre productions Mysteries and smaller pieces, Paradise Now, and Frankenstein; rare photographs of Paradise Now at Brooklyn Academy of Music by Don Snyder; the map of Paradise Now, a 14 x 19 double-sided, commemorative poster + zine including texts by Antonin Artaud, Julian Beck, Judith Malina, Ira Cohen and Don Snyder. In 1968, The Living Theatre, led by Julian Beck and Judith Malina, triumphantly returned to America from years of self-imposed exile in Europe with their theatrical breakthrough Paradise Now. The play introduces the practice of collective creation, dissolving the boundaries of human interactions and forging a harmony between the actors and audience. Of this process, Julian Beck writes, Collective creation is the secret weapon of the people ... This play is a voyage from the many to the one and from the one to the many. Its a spiritual voyage and a political voyage, a voyage for the actors and the spectators. The play is a vertical ascent toward permanent revolution, leading to revolutionary action here and now. The revolution of which the play speaks is the beautiful, non-violent, anarchist revolution. The purpose of the play is to lead to a state of being in which non-violent revolutionary action is possible. The result of this shared voyage is the spontaneous creation of a temporary anarchist collective -- free from the enslavements of war, violence, the State, money and the self."-Arthur.

Artist: TORAL, RAFAEL Title: Space Elements Vol. 1 Format: LP Label: Taiga Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "This is the third in Rafael Torals Space Program series of releases -- his long-term research project launched in 2004, through which he has unearthed an innovative approach and a complete re-thinking of how electronic music is conceived and experienced. Using custom experimental instruments, Toral performs electronic music concerned with "phrasing and swing" and performing strange melodies with physicality, movement and gesture in flux. The result is something youre unlikely to have heard before, a kind of alien electronic jazz. After the acclaimed, orchestral Space and the follow-up Space Solo 1, this is the first volume of the Space Elements series, each release being focused on one kind of instrument, on small settings and including collaborations. Space Elements Vol. I features Rute Praça (cello), Margarida Garcia (electric double-bass), Sei Miguels amazing percussionist César Burago, and David Toop (flute), besides a short appearance by Sei Miguel himself. From Torals liner notes: "Having found that jazz is the field of musical knowledge where disciplined decision-making is most developed, this music is more informed by jazz than by any other. The Space Program emphasizes articulating silence and sound, by structuring musical discourse on experimental instruments with a simple and clear sonic identity. To my surprise, I found no historical precedents to this practice, being that it draws practically no information from electronic music history (which is grounded on different thinking patterns), and it draws very little from jazz history as well, since the instruments I use are inadequate to play any music based on the Western system. I regard this approach to jazz (meaning a system of individual decision-making from the standpoint of free-spectrum live electronics) as a new and exciting field of creative possibilities. I called it post-free jazz electronic music." Space Elements Vol. I was mastered direct to metal and pressed on clear 200 gram virgin vinyl in a limited edition of 500 copies. The jacket was designed by Helder Luís at No Type and features a collage by contemporary artist João Paulo Feliciano. CD version forthcoming on Staubgold." - Taiga |

Artist: TORAL, RAFAEL Title: Space Elements Vol. II Format: LP Label: Taiga Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Space Elements Vol. II is the fourth release in Rafael Torals ongoing project, the Space Program. Following the first Elements release, this volume features a new set of collaborators: Evan Parker (soprano sax), Manuel Mota (guitar), Afonso Simões (drums), Stefano Tedesco (vibraphone), João Paulo Feliciano (Rhodes piano), and Ruben Costa (digital synthesizer), as well as returning guests Sei Miguel (trumpet), César Burago (percussion), Fala Mariam (trombone), and Rute Praça (cello). Space Elements Vol. II displays a melodic quality that, along with a refined management of silence, marks a new area and consolidates the Space Programs complex network. Its spaciousness is explained in Torals liner notes: "While finding ways to make decisions on sound emission, it became evident to me that such sounds should have a reason to exist, they should be essential and necessary." Dan Warburtons writing in The Wire about Space fits Space Elements Vol. II perfectly: "The melodic logic that drives certain instruments within Space also recalls birdsong, with dense, convoluted runs of twittering melody ending in single piping notes, as spontaneous as Messiaens birdsong transcriptions were painstaking and meticulous." Torals music is a jazz-inspired re-evaluation of live electronics: "Despite working in a sound world that is cosmetically closer to R2D2s vocabulary than Louis Armstrongs or John Coltranes, Toral has claimed a kinship to jazz because it models instant music making within a disciplined framework." (Bill Meyer, Dusted); "Toral is looking for nothing less than a totally fresh language to work in" (The Wire). Space Elements Vol. II was mastered direct to metal from 24-bit files and pressed on clear 200 gram virgin-vinyl. With design by Helder Luis at NOTYPE, the LP features a collage by João Paulo Feliciano. Presented in a limited edition of 500." - Taiga. |

The tar-like muck that licked your face endlessly for days upon the debut of their self-released 7-inch in 2009 has crawled out from those toenails once again and has brought the prime slime right up to the front, where its always belonged. Churning dawn-of-the-century Clone Defects slobberism, schitzo Screamers scuzz, along with Bobby Soxx-soaked backwash, this is one Puritan-polluting problem we can fully stand behind here, as Tortured Tongues will be a very hard stain to wash out. Three full-charge scum punk wonders gracefully degrade this EP over the two sides, with the rusty-gutting, strangulated delivery oozing out of all the facial wounds of your miserable existence, this record might just be the "end of that rope" people are always referring to.

Artist: TOUCH & GO Title: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine 79-83 Format: Book Label: Bazillion Points Country: USA Price: $29.00 |
|
"Touch And Go fanzine was the brainchild of Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson and was launched in Lansing, Michigan, in 1979. Major fanatics of the new punk happenings in the late 70s, TV and DS set out to chronicle, lambaste, ridicule, and heap praise on all they arbitrarily loved or hated in the music communities in the US and abroad. In laughably minuscule press runs by todays standards, T & G was made by guys within the Midwest scene strictly for the edification of scenesters and pals in other cities like DC, Philly, Boston, LA, SF, Chicago, et al. Inspired by magazines such as Slash and Search and Destroy and writers like Claude Bessy and Chris Desjardines, TV and DS pumped out seventeen naughty, irreverent issues together, and TV did another five solo. Magazines like Forced Exposure and Your Flesh, among others, soon fired up Xerox machines themselves, and the rest is history. So is the legendary independent record label launched from this zine, and so are the bands covered inside: Black Flag, Minor Threat, the Misfits, Negative Approach, the Fix, the Avengers, the Necros, Discharge, Iron Cross, Youth Brigade, Faith, Die Kreuzen, Crucifix, Poison Idea -- and all the other punks worth their weight in glorious black and white. Featuring new introductory essays by punk icons Tesco Vee (The Meatmen), Dave Stimson, Steve Miller (The Fix), Henry Rollins (S.O.A./Black Flag), Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks), Peter Davis (Your Flesh), Henry Owings (Chunklet), Byron Coley (Forced Exposure), Corey Rusk (Necros/Touch and Go Records), John Brannon (Negative Approach), and Ian MacKaye (Teen Idles/Minor Threat). Exclusive early interviews with the Fix, Necros, Minor Threat, Youth Brigade, Iron Cross, Misfits, Negative Approach, JFA, Battalion of Saints, Crucifucks, 7 Seconds, Faith, the Effigies, the Minutemen, Scream, Die Kreuzen, Crucifix, Poison Idea, SSD, & others. 8.5"x 11"x1.25", 4lbs., 101% offensive joy!" 546 pages." -Bazillion Points

Artist: TOUKASEIBUNSHI Title: Meta-Inorganicmatter Meta-Newlon Format: CD Label: PSF Country: Japan Price: $20.00 |
| "Volume 2 in the ongoing Japanese Avant-Garde Cassette Reissue Series. The 80s and early 90s saw a great deal of fascinating material released on cassette in the Tokyo underground. While some of the more noise-orientated stuff enjoyed a modicum of international distribution, the avant-garde material generally did not. This series, whose first release was Iro / Tamafuri (PSFD-180), aims to rescue the best of this music from historical oblivion. Toukaseibunshi (Permeable Molecule) was an ultra-mysterious solo unit created by Hironari Iwata. Iwata was a footnote figure in the world of Japanese avant-garde/noise from the mid to late eighties. As well as Toukaseibunshi, he also recorded under the name Haiginsha, ran the Angakok cassette label and wrote for various magazines. Theres an unshowy stoicism to Iwatas investigation of drone, clank and crackling sustain, a deep seriousness of purpose that beguiles as much as it confounds. Six tracks, fifty-eight minutes.

Artist: TOY LOVE Title: Live at the Gluepot Format: Double LP Label: Goner Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Previously unreleased live recording from legendary New Zealand band fronted by CHRIS KNOX (TALL DWARFS). TOY LOVEs music was in a constant state of formation and reformation throughout the bands existence-songs would warp and twist with every playing. So, for all its undeniable power, it appeared unstable, almost fragile, threatening to burst out of its own skin, shards and globs all over the place. Every gig was like another attempt to make this strange creature hold together and live. At times, it would only take off at a few unpredictable points, at others it would lift off immediately and roar through the air, an astonishingly compelling and unlikely flying thing full of dark folds and flashes of light. The best stuff was transcendent, and the near-failures were so often funny or had the buzzy pathos of a crash site, one couldnt look away. This double-album captures the legendary band in September 1980 at The Gluepot in Ponsonby, Auckland-one of their final live performances. The recording was transferred and prepared for vinyl mastering by STEVE MCGOUGH at Stebbings from a desk tape recorded by the bands soundman DOUG HOOD. Vinyl features four tracks not on the CD and digital versions; includes a download coupon." -Goner. |

Artist: TOY LOVE Title: S/T Format: Double LP Label: Flying Nun & Captured Tracks Country: USA Price: $33.00 |

Housed in a gatefold jacket, a 24 page booklet accompanies the release with photos, ephemera, and commentary from Toy Love. The back cover features a sketched cartoon of an early Toy Love flyer drawn by Chris Knox. Evolving from Dunedin band The Enemy, Toy Love had a brief but bright existence between January 1979 and September 1980. Invoking the ghost of punk and the melody and creativity of 60-70s pop, they were peerless at a time when New Zealand music was still struggling to imprint itself on the national consciousness. They became a model for local musicians around the country and inspired the birth of Flying Nun Records -- a label which many from the band went on to work with, including Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate with the Tall Dwarfs and Paul Kean with The Bats. Then, in 2005 Flying Nun released Cuts, a double CD anthology of Toy Love material. Electrifying and unmissable, Toy Love made an impact on all who saw then, and continue to do so around the world today." -Flying Nun/Captured Tracks. |

Artist: TOY.BIZARRE Title: kdi dctb 122 [f] Format: 3" CDR Label: Taalem Country: France Price: $7.00 |
| "kdi dctb 122 [f]" was done in november 2005 by cédric peyronnet. This stereo-reduction was especially made for headphone listenings. "kdi dctb 122" was a sound work of interpreted cartography whose theme was, on one hand, the sound environment in an area of 750m around the village of La Pommerie (in the town of St Sétiers), and on second hand, the sound events related to the birth of the morning dew in the same area. The 10-channels audio system restores 10 places from the area ; it can be considered as a partial restitution [a cartography sound work] of La Pommerie in july 2001 without pretending being the truth. But "kdi dctb 122" is also and above all a musical piece made of 10 elements that can be heard alone or all together, the exhibition place becoming the listening place. Here, space occupation and spacialization were major concerns during the installation of the work. Work was made of many recordings in/on 10 "micro-places" of the area ; every element was recorded. These field recordings were later sculpted with hard & and software. The final composition was only made with those elements ; so it can be considered as "the music of the place", a microscopic exploration of space..." - Taalem. |

Mototeru Takagi already released two beautiful duo LPs back then with master Japanese drummers like Masahiko Togashi (Isolation) and Toshi Tsuchitori (Origination), so this last DLP is complete in a sense the set of duo recorded with the best, 1st generation, free music drummers from Japan. On the other side its complete also, the duo recorded by Sabu with the greatest reeds player from Japan (still of the 1st generation); being, his various duos with legendary Kaoru Abe, already documented on Qbico (Senzei) and elsewhere. About the music: raw and passionate = primitive beauty; both musicians are in top form and surely in their most creative period. Mr. Takagi plays tenor, soprano sax and bass clarinet, while Sabu is on drums and percussion. Original recordings were very well preserved (fortunately) and the pressing came out wonderful!

Artist: TRAD, GRAS OCH STENAR Title: Ain Schvajn Draj Format: CD Label: Silence Country: Sweden Price: $16.00 |
| "New reunion album, recorded 1998-2000! Featuring original members Bo Anders Persson, Tobjörn Abelli & Thomas Gartz (all related to: Harvester, Int Harvester, Pärson Sound). This a layered, textural rock record and very strong for the times." - FE. "We want to thank the patient horses who were our closest neighbours when we recorded in Jacobs joiners workshop on the island Färingsö. Its true that they sometimes pawed the wall -- in appreciation or annoyance? When they were out in their pasture we had to shut off the electric fence. The impulses came into the tape, it sounded like a metronome with co-operative problems. A few tunes are recorded in a room in ÿllösa old school outside Stjärnhov, in Torbjörns sister Bissas home. All the instrumentals were created at the very moment, the result of an accidental alchemist occurrence -- a meeting of four old men at the crossroads of an imaginary landscape. Ain Schvajn Draj! is what ran out of the test tubes after Thomas Meras experiments with cloning TGS. The doa-choir The Nymphettes is his own highly temporary change of gender. The recordings are made by Träd Gräs och Stenar during several occasions from 1998-2001 on 2 ADAT tape recorders." - Silence. |

Artist: TRAD, GRAS OCH STENAR Title: From Möja to Minneapolis Format: DVD Label: Gashud Country: Sweden Price: $26.00 |
| "Träd Gräs och Stenar have their origin in the legendary Swedish psychedelic/experimental bands, Pärson Sound/International Harvester/Harvester who started playing in 1967. The band dissolved in 1972 but reunited in 1995, ready for new adventures and they never ever lost the spirit. They still rank as one of the most amazing contemporary psych bands worldwide. During 2002-2005, Mikael Högström and his video camera accompanied their gigs. As time went on, it turned into a little project. Mikael showed the band his latest clips and under their merciless eyes and ears, those clips slowly developed into this DVD. The amazing footage and sound documents the band performing in Sweden, USA and Russia. It also contains recordings from other cameras and sound recorders, including a few glimpses from the bands old 8mm movies -- an echo from the past. An amazing psychedelic journey in sounds and sights. Time 118 min., plus an extra bonus 3 min. 21 secs. with old film clips from 1970. 4:3; NTSC PCM; Stereo; Region: 0; DVD 9; Double Layer." - Gashud. |

First out is the best ever recording from the legendary Trad Gras & Stenar (Trees Grass & Stones) recorded at the first ever Swedish outdoors summer hippie festival in 1970.

Artist: TRAD, GRAS OCH STENAR Title: Homeless Cats Format: Double LP Label: Subliminal Sounds Country: Sweden Price: $32.00 |
| "Gatefold 2LP version with full-color glossy printed innersleeves, limited to 1000 copies. Just in time for Träd Gräs och Stenars ("Trees Grass and Stones") 40-year anniversary, the Swedish psychedelic trance-rock pioneers release a new album, Homeless Cats. The first one in 7 years, and the seventh since they began in 1969. Eleven boundless tracks with organic music for open minds. Back in 1967, the guitarist BoAnders Persson had already started his Terry Riley-inspired underground band Pärson Sound with the bass player Torbjorn Abelli and drummer Thomas Mera Gartz, amongst others. They evolved into International Harvester, then Harvester, finally striking root as Träd Gräs och Stenar. In 1970, they arranged, and performed at, the legendary Swedish Gardes-Festivals that pioneered the Swedish alternative music movement. Today, Träd Gräs och Stenar create their own contemporary music, even if they have been compared to Krautrockers like Can and Faust, internationally. Rhythmic, and heart-pounding for sure -- but at the same time, peculiarly Swedish, with their roots in the mold and soil, and with branches that reach high up into the clear air. Homeless Cats was recorded by the band themselves during the period between 2002-2007, mostly while jamming in the bands rehearsal house and studio in Viksund, Sweden, but also live at gigs. During this period, they also toured Europe, USA, Russia and Japan. In the meaty album booklet, they give us a couple of personal travelogues. Träd Gräs och Stenar have evolved a clear and mature sound with space enough for both suggestive heaviness and mind-expansion. These tracks bubble and seethe, growing forth freely. Sometimes, the mostly instrumental tracks are irresistibly captivating, as in the trance-inducing "Summer Disco," at other times, they are weightless, as on the loop-like "The Most Beautiful Moment Of The Dream," which breathtakingly floats into "Thorns Of Solitude," which could be an earthy, space-rock movie soundtrack. "Wedding Reel" is a slight divergence from traditional Swedish folk music, with rhythms and melodies that are played brutally, like a plow wrenching deep furrows into a field of stone. Homeless Cats makes its mark. Heavy, vertiginous, and, just like Träd Gräs och Stenar themselves, timeless." -Subliminal Sounds |

A rock group led by Bo Anders Persson (after his works with Pärson Sound, Harvester, International Harvester), this was their first of 3 albums , a definitely more "rockist" continuation of the post-minimalist experiments of the earlier groups, but still with that undefinable Swedish underground "feeling". - Silence. |

Artist: TRANSMISSION Title: Transmission Format: CD Label: Table Of The Elements Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "Here is an extraordinary excavation from the buried history of the Downtown NYC scene: the unreleased, self-titled Transmission EP, recorded in 1981-82. Comprised of Jonathan Kane and Daniel Galliduani, the duo is one-half of the original version of the behemoth band Swans. Transmission both preceded and ran concurrent with the formation of Swans (Michael Gira was enough of a fan that he mixed Transmissions few live shows), and much of their material evolved into Swans tracks, including the standout Weakling. Unclassifiable within any conventional genre, it recalls the improvisation and complex, trance-inducing beats of North African music while adding a crust of no wave bluster and enough percussive artillery to sink a small island. Galliduani, whose saxophone is so heavily treated and processed that it sounds like a wall of guitars, lays down drones then adds weird, fierce, Eastern-tinged polyphonics; meanwhile Kane is a frenzied dervish, generating complex cross-tempos and rhythmic subdivision." - Table Of The Elements. |

Artist: TRASH MONKEYS Title: Pass Out Format: CD Label: Smitten Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "Way back in 1986, back when Cyndi Lauper and Boy George ruled the world with a velvet fist, THE TRASH MONKEYS took their first baby steps on the long march to obscurity. Founding members LLOYD JOHNSON, BILL ORCUTT, MARK FEEHAN and GEORGE KELLEY-fueled by a passionate need for public scorn and armed with a witches brew of guitars, Old Milwaukee, illegal chemicals and provocative evening wear-attracted the attention of Miamis glittering, semi-comatose punk scene. They came off, according to Miami New Times, "like a whacked version of Guided by Voices, with a passel of bent but utterly catchy pop tunes that chronicled their obsession with Jesus, television, and housewives, as well as fuzzy guitar hooks that were alternately inventive and rooted in the minimalist pop of postpunk outfits such as Television Personalities and Beat Happening." After a few years of legendary shows, highlighted by the creative use of rancid meat, hungry dogs, and Vaseline, The Trash Monkeys came to the shocking conclusion that they were approaching competence and began to drift in other directions. Kelley and Feehan left to form the STUN GUNS, Orcutt started HARRY PUSSY (later joined by Feehan), and Johnson accepted a high ranking position within Perus Shining Path rebel army. Soon enough, however, the numbing drudgery of receiving critical acclaim, touring exciting cities and evading government death squads began to gnaw at the wayward Monkeys and they fell back into each others arms, weeping at their foolishness. With MIKE OBRIEN (THE EAT, DRUG CZARS) "recruited" at gunpoint to play drums, the reconstituted band has been faithfully offending South Florida audiences since 1997." - Smitten. |

Here Graveyards Ben Hall and Lambsbreads Zac Davis create a monolithic one sider influenced by too many private press jazz records and abstract instrumentalism. Davis turns in his effect pedals for nothing; pure clean tones plucked up and down scales and bridges so uniquely that it is easy to confuse the guitar for a sax.

Riggs is a brutal technician and theres not a guitar note to be heard and the chords--if you can callem that---- sound like machines self-inflicting tonal punches.

Artist: TRAVERSA, MARTINO Title: Critical_Path Format: CD Label: Die Schachtel Country: Italy Price: $18.00 |
| "Martino Traversa is a very well-known Italian composer who studied at Salzburgs Mozarteum, at the CCRMA at Stanford University and with Luigi Nono from 1987 to 1989. Critical_Path presents for the first time ever a selection of his electronic music works, composed between 2000 and 2008. Besides being a prolific composer, Martino is a very active cultural promoter: he founded the Ensemble Edgard Varèse in 1990, with Luigi Nonos support; in 1991 he launched "Traiettorie," a highly-reputed international festival of modern and contemporary music in Parma, where he is also Professor of Music at the University. He recently established the Casa del Suono in Parma, a place entirely devoted to new music events. The most important piece on this CD is undoubtedly "Variations Upon A Labyrinth" (2000), prompted by two of the most significant personalities of Italian avant-garde, the poet Edoardo Sanguineti and the composer Luciano Berio. The piece is in fact based on the "Laborintus" text by Edoardo Sanguineti, read by the poet himself, whose voice is electronically treated by the composer, becoming a sort of maze of sound and meaning. "NGC 253" (2007) is a sort of virtual sound sculpture realized for the outstanding "Sonic Chandelier" installed in the Casa del Suono. The Chandelier consists of 228 speakers precisely distributing sounds in the area below the installation, giving the listeners the feeling that the sound is coming from invisible sources moving just above and around their heads. This site-specific works main constituent is anything else but 253 milliseconds of noise, taken from an old vinyl recording that undergoes a subtle transformation, evolving and wandering in different time and spatial dimensions, but always following a spiral pattern, falling from the top to the bottom of the acoustic space as a sort of "quantistic rain of sounds." This is not the only composition inspired by a specific site: "Coming To The Temple Of Asclepion" was composed after a visit to the ancient temple situated on top of one of the hills of the Greek island of Kos, where the surrounding sounds are greatly evocative: waves breaking on the rocks and the shrill of cicadas in a landscape made mainly of blue sky. Taking inspiration from these sounds (and far from any New-Ageish reference), the composition is a sort of programmed crescendo that builds up to a drama: a high level of noise is followed by a sudden, immense silence. What remains is the image of the "écume des mer" that climbs up the hill, bringing with it the voices of the thousands of men and women that lived there, just to make us remember once again the fragility of the human existence. Last but not least, "Critical_Path" is a composition that once again starts from natural sounds, like wind and water, and the sound of traditional instruments like the piano, and aims to explore the intrinsic properties of the nature of each sound, in order to define a specific abstract reference model. It is realized through a sound-generation engine based on a new type of synthesis and sound models. The new sounds are multiform, almost protean, as different structures and reference models coming from different sounds co-exist within them. A great "electronic" premiere for a composer definitely worth exploring." -Die Schachtel. |

You already know about their 1979 debut album and you know its a masterpiece, but did you know about their second album recorded in 1984? Surely not, especially because it was a cassette-only release with a very short print-run. Luckily enough, The Tree People guys kept the mastertapes of these recordings and Guerssen Records is proud to be making this wonderful music available again. Reissued on CD with a vinyl version to come later, the sound quality is splendid, and the music itself is equally as good, if not better than, their self-titled debut and is a real must for any folk and psych-folk lover. Acoustic guitars, subtle percussion, wonderful flute work and some warm vocals -- overall, this is a real big dose of quality and originality that makes The Tree Peoples music absolutely ahead of its time and therefore so much admired today. A real beauty! This CD includes a booklet with liner notes by the bands leader Stephen Cohen, as well as some nice pictures." -Guerssen |

Artist: TREE PEOPLE, THE Title: s/t Format: CD Label: Tiliqua Country: Japan Price: $23.00 |
| "Tiliqua Records is psyched about being able to present a whole new audience and generation with the lysergic beauty of the Tree Peoples sole recorded artifact, a privately released acid folk gem out of 1979. In times when people are all getting excited about media-created scenes like ⿿New Weird America and ⿿Freak Folk, they seem to overlook the fact that such music was already being created decades ago. The Tree People is evidence of such a splash of creativity that sadly enough was doomed to disappear within the cracks of obscurity. Until now. Tiliqua was granted the opportunity to restore this gem and with the kind collaboration of Mr. Cohen of the Tree People, who provided me with the master tapes and a seemingly unlimited support, Tiliqua was able to prepare this reissue. To me, this album is one of the singular most beautiful gems to have crossed my path and words always fall short in an attempt to describe the aural sensation it unleashes. ⿿Upon listening today this hushed and intimate feeling still resonates through the music ⿿ the record possesses an extraordinarily potent atmosphere that still intoxicates the senses after so many years. Over a combustible backing dominated by shimmering strings, bone-shaking hand percussion rhythms, and quivering sensuous threads of eastern-toned flute playing, the group succeeded in concocting up a syncretic combination of meditative Indian raga, western folk stylings and idiosyncratic melodic ideas. The music breathes out intimacy and communicates with a rare directness - hooking you instantly with sheer aural bliss derived from the melody, from the flowing beat, from the sound of the words and syllables and of all those separate elements interacting with each other, rendered into a concentrated, gracious flow of lunar notes. The albums compositions have so many hidden qualities, all breathing out deep and affectionate sentiments that reveal, just like a lotus flower centered on the axis with its petals unfolding towards the circumference, a streamlined adhesion towards the groups own singular creed. Listen to it and you may feel like awakening from a deep slumber, your unconsciousness leaking away as aspects of reality slowly mix in with the rest of your already blurred mindset. First time ever official reissue, housed in a sturdy mini-LP styled gatefold sleeve." - Tiliqua. |

| "Extremely rare live in studio recordings of one of Englands most superlative female-fronted acid folk bands, recorded in 1971 and 1972 with DJ Bob Harris for BBC Radio 1. Formed in London in 1969, Trees have been likened to a more psychedelic Fairport Convention (with the amazing Celia Humphris taking the role of Sandy Denny). These are mostly tracks that never appeared on either one of their studio albums (The Garden Of Jane Delawney and On The Shore both released on CBS in 1970) making it an especially significant addition to their repertoire." -Klimt. |

The most obvious similarity to Fairport was that both groups had a female vocalist, Sandy Denny of Fairport and Celia Humphris. The other members of Trees on the two albums were Bias (short for Tobias) Boshell (bass guitar on the first album and also keyboard player on the second), lead guitarist Barry Clarke, David Costa (12 string and acoustic guitars, dulcimer, mandolin, etc.) and Unwin Brown (drums)" |

Artist: TREETOPS/CYGNUS Title: Split Format: Cass Label: Arbor Country: US Price: $6.50 |
| "At its purest, recorded music is two things: basements and one track recorders. Treetops and Cygnus are a complimentary pair of basement sludge psychers armed with little more than a few effect pedals (no distortion?!). The Treetops track is a grower and coming in at just under 10 minutes one of the longer Treetops jams to date. Light guitar strumming, tape manipulations and the occasional incantation are the sole sources for "Wild Beauty". Sky bound riffs float through the storm clouds. This track is a companion piece to the upcoming Ecstatic Peace tape, "In The Vanilla Grove/ Man and Horse". Cygnus is the guitar/keyboard duo of Heath Moerland (Sick Llama/Fag Tapes) and his friend Glen. Heath and Glen use slow flanged strumming and haunted house keyboards all progressing at a slow-ed down pace. The second track starts out with some fuzzed heavy riffage and keyboard overload while progressively deconstructing itself to two guitars; a totally zoned out "I forgot we were recording" style gem.

Artist: TREMBLING BELLS Title: Abandoned Love Format: LP Label: Honest Jons Country: UK Price: $18.00 |
| "LP version. Following on from the unanimous critical acclaim of their debut, Carbeth, Glasgow-based Trembling Bells second album deepens their signature synthesis of traditional folk forms with the romanticism of country music, the deceptive complexity of Medieval music and the swagger of classic rock. Anthemic visions of the British landscape as a fantastic and treacherous netherworld are set to vying country-style duets, Bowie-esque stomps and the mysterious, serpentine melodies of Earlie Musik. Baroque, stately, flowery, richly-orchestrated British folk, with moments of acid burn. Members include: Alex Neilson (Jandek, Taurpis Tula, Current 93, Six Organs Of Admittance, etc.), Lavinia Blackwall (Directing Hand), Simon Shaw (Scatter) and Mike Hastings (The Pendulums)." - Honest Jons. |

Artist: TREMBLING BELLS Title: Carbeth Format: LP Label: Honest Jons Country: UK Price: $17.00 |
| "This is the hotly-tipped debut of new new-folk outfit, Trembling Bells, masterminded by protean drummer Alex Neilson, one of the UKs leading young improvisers. From the ashes of Scatter, a Glasgow-based collective which long anticipated the free-folk phenomenon, emerges a new song-based venture. Having served apprenticeships with some uniquely talented songwriters (Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Current 93, Alasdair Roberts, Baby Dee, Red Krayola, Six Organs Of Admittance, Josephine Foster, amongst them), Neilson sets out with the group to reanimate the hidden, mythic landscapes of Yorkshire and Glasgow (in particular) via a love of canonical rock, early music, and traditional folk. Featuring the diverse musical talents of medieval music scholar and psychedelic siren, Lavinia Blackwall, Venusian bluesman, Ben Reynolds, Lucky Luke progenitor Simon Shaw, plus trombonist George Murray, and viola player Aby Vuillamy from Scatter and the Bill Wells Group. Carbeth is absolutely sweeping, grandiose baroque-folk like a newly-minted Pentangle or Fairport Convention, but with strange keyboard/horn arrangements, and sometimes thunderous percussion. This isnt music for tatted lace-wearers, but for folk-rockers wearing sturdy woolen travelling capes for backwards horse-rides through a long-lost Britain." - Honest Jons. |

Artist: TREMBLING BELLS Title: The Constant Pageant Format: LP Label: Honest Jons Country: UK Price: $18.00 |
| "Glasgow four‐piece Trembling Bells release their third slice of Caledonia dreaming, following on from the acclaimed Carbeth (HJR 043CD/LP) and Abandoned Love (HJR 047CD/LP). From its very first notes, The Constant Pageant flies the flag -- a banner of arms -- with a more confident, anthemic sound than ever before. Trembling Bells are 21st century troubadours who know their history, on a quest to connect with the core tradition of Song, and live deep within its mysteries. Medieval ballads, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen are amongst the guiding lights in a music that embraces British folk‐rock, American roots and electric psychedelia. The album title pays tribute to folkloric culture as "omnipresent in my thinking, and a source of personal joy and affirmation," says the Bells Alex Neilson. "A kind of florid, seething, creative wellspring that taints everything I do. Though, with this collection of songs, there were a number of other influences too. I think of traditional folk music as being like my first serious girlfriend, and all subsequent dalliances with other forms have been indelibly affected by it." Its a record of windswept bitterness and joyous elation: "Cold Heart Of Mine" is a paean to embattled lovers written in the shadow of Veronas ancient amphitheatre; "Where Do I Go From You" and "Torn Between Loves" describe doomed romance, dramatized by Mike Hastings screaming fuzz guitar. Theres also a strong sense of place. Neilsons native Yorkshire is the setting for "Goathland" -- home of folks first family, the McCarthy‐ Watersons (not to mention the BBCs Heartbeat) -- and "Otley Rock Oracle," in which a small Yorkshire market town is re‐imagined as a place of dead roads, where severed golden heads and cauliflower‐clouds clue in a young adept. Classical and early music come to the fore on "Colour Of Night" -- in which a medieval feast seems to be taking place behind the songs stately gavotte -- and the melancholic closer, "New Years Eves The Loneliest Night Of The Year," a tribute to favorite modern songwriters like Gordon Jenkins, Nelson Riddle and Hoagy Carmichael (with a cheeky aside about stolen Roman marbles). The Constant Pageant is a rhapsodic celebration of the power of Song, from one of the UKs most eclectic and inventive groups." -Honest Jons |

Artist: TREVOR, RYAN Title: Introducing: Ryan Trevor Format: LP Label: Galactic Zoo Disk/Drag City Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Wow...we cant seem to figure out the true story of Ryan Trevor - were not sure he even knows it! Is he an industry guy who pitched songs to Barry Manilow, wrote songs for Sesame Street, and roadied for infamous germaphobe Robin Trower? Is he a sensitive loner-folker who lived in England and all over the globe? Is he an ex-60s Indiana garage band kid who rocked in The Blue Glue? Or did he simply replace his friend Paul McCartney when he died in 1968? It just might be all of the above, though working closely with Trevor (well, as closely as we can get to New Zealand -- its about eight thousand miles away) has shed remarkably little light on the man - even his exhaustive autobiography ends in the early 70s, just before he started recording music! The usually in-depth Acid Archives has a mere one sentence listed about the man. Is this a conspiracy? What we do know is that he produced one incredibly rare and homespun pop LP in 1977, Introducing: Ryan Trevor. It may have been merely a demo for a never-materialized Warner Brothers album (though we question the veracity of this claim), or a definitive concept album statement (are there any non-concept albums that begin with an Overture)...but well let the music speak for itself. A privately-pressed bit of psych-pop perfection, Introducing: Ryan Trevor at last answers the question on ALL of our minds: What if R. Stevie Moore and Emitt Rhodes recorded an album with Joe Meeks ghost in the late 70s? Whatever the case, what you have in your hands is a near-exact repro of an insanely catchy song cycle of Macca-melodies, subverted by copious amounts of phase, fuzz, and a bedroom production ambience that would certainly make Bob Pollard, Ariel Pink or The Godz jealous. Drag City/Galactic Zoo Disk is proud to get this incredible rarity back into circulation, where it can soon after be filed next to your Rundgren and Brian Wilson records in the loner genius section." -Galactic Zoo Disk. |

"Its a very rare experience to be sucked into such an honest and fragile universe as Bobb Trimble`s. A space of its own, a musical experience on the other side of what people usually define as proper behavior. Psychedelic folk, real-people music, religious visions. Its hard to label Bobbs music. Life Beyond the Doghouse consists of previously unreleased studio recordings from 1983 and 1986. On side 1 Bobb is backed by his old backingband Violent Reactions from the LP Iron Curtain Innocence from 1980. Six years havent made the music more mainstream. Its so dark and its so lonely. The songs are desperate and have a strange dreamy atmosphere. Bobb is floating like an untouchable ghostlike entity through the darkness. And the voice... scary! Crippled Dog Band on side two is recordings from 1983. Fuzzguitar with adlib phaser. Uncontrolled microphone to all bandmembers. Punkrock attitude from first on. Psychedelic folkpunk with a lot of sounds thats really not supposed to be there. In spite of nearly 20 years in the cupboard it sounds just as fresh as on the day it was recorded." - Orpheus.

"This reissue of some rare 1981 tracks by Bobb Trimble, a strangely sensitive sounding folkie/singer-songwriter, whose odd voice and artistic ambitions get his ultra-rare records classified as psyche, earning him a cult status that resulted in the eventual re-release of his private press materials. Whats most intriguing about Trimble may be that for a while he assembled an all-little boy backing band, and while they were not incompetent musicians, their imperfection adds to the vulnerability of Trimbles work (think they are backing him on the A-side here, which is the weirdly wonderful title track). Plus, the photos on the sleeve of bob and his Bad News Bears backing band are AWESOME!" - Roctober |

Artist: TRIMBLE, BOBB Title: The Crippled Dog Band Format: CD Label: Yoga Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "The year was 1983, and Bobb Trimble had two then-unrecognized masterpieces to his credit and a lot of confusion and indifference from his fellow travelers in the Worcester, MA "Wormtown" scene. Never one to worry much about appearances, Bobb accepted an invitation to join a group of teenage boys who called themselves The Crippled Dog Band, named after Boopsie, a three-legged canine local. Bobb donned the title of Chief Crippled Dog and led the Band on enthusiastically-received gigs throughout the region. Unbeknownst to almost anyone, they completed a raucous album full of addictive hooks, feedback, teen chatter and video game noises. But soon the Band splintered and Bobb decided to forget about the whole thing, disposing of the entire 500-count LP pressing in an office park dumpster. All of which would be nothing more than a typically weird footnote to the Bobb Trimble legend, except for the fact that The Crippled Dog Band is very different from, but every bit as remarkable and brilliant as Iron Curtain Innocence and Harvest Of Dreams. Having proved himself, if only to himself, this is where Bobb stops chasing glass menagerie fantasies of perfection, tempers the dread of his first two records, and reconnects with his DIY roots. This unique collaboration between "the greatest psychedelic musician of the 80s" and his scrappy acolytes yields pure rock and roll and the effect is raw, crazy, and infectiously exciting." -Yoga |

Artist: TROCKENEIS Title: 5025 AD Format: LP Label: Ehse Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "From the den of pre-scientific iniquity in which Baltimore sound actors thrive on non-planning, the stately emergence of professional harsh acousticians in five-part harmony, a brash romp through the New Frictionalism, The New Spectralism, and The New Ritualism. Bowing. Rubbing. Scraping. Squealing. Squeaking. Screeching. Moaning. Silence. Anything else. Nothing else. Sound fixations waiting to unfix in the act of observation/measurement. Go ahead, measure them. Then flip to side B and watch your numbers float away in a muddy stream of ink. All sounds were made without electricity. Its portable music. You can easily move from now to the time when there was no emotion, just its precursors of permanently lingering urgency. Paul Neidhardt, Catherine Pancake, Dan Breen, and Andy Hayleck caress their idiophones until theyre lost in backporch lullabies of terror. Audrey Chens voice also gets lost, swallowed by its mechanical half-kin and trapped into the shadow world of forbidden overtones. In the center we find a steaming hunk of dry ice, hosting the sounds of molecular frenzy at the interface of hot and cold. Metal. Wood. H2O. Larynx. Danger. Safety. They say its built into the limbic system." - Ehse. Instrumentation: bowed metal, dry ice with heated metal, musical saws, percussion and voice. |

Music will never sound the same again, and in the world of Love Backed By Force, it doesn?t even sound the same from song to song on the same album.

It was created in May 1969 when leading members of Hljómar (Sounds) and Flowers set out to create the finest Icelandic rock group of all time. Guitarist and composer Gunnar Thórgarson, bass player and singer Rúnar Júlíusson and lead vocalist Shady Owens of Hljómar had been plotting this for some months, along with organist Karl Sighvatsson and drummer Gunnar Jökull Hákonarson of Flowers, before the bands genesis was announced publicly. These were troubled times and Trúbrot had countless hurdles to overcome before the band eventually fell apart early in 1973. After the debut album was released in December 1969 by EMI, vocalist Shady Owens announced that she was quitting. Trúbrot recorded 3 more albums. Tony Branwell of Apple Records was saying these were one of the two best bands he had seen perform on stage in the preceding six months. Really cool underground album full of musical ideas and well-crafted music, male & female vocals. The music should hit the same listener of UK bands such as Blossom Toes, Billy Nichols; underground with a touch of pop." - Shadoks. |

| "Originally released in Iceland, 1970. Numbered edition of 500 pressed on 180 gram vinyl, housed in a heavy gatefold sleeve with a double-sided insert. "In 1969, Trúbrot was the first supergroup ever founded in Iceland. After the début album with vocalist Shady Owens, this is the second album released in 1970 without Shady on vocals. After a last concert in Iceland with the original line up, they invited Led Zeppelin and became friends with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. When Jimmy and Robert returned to their hotel at four oclock in the morning they were amazed to discover that the sun was still shining bright. The sight of the midnight sun, the snow-capped glaciers and the Icelandic geysers apparently inspired them to write The Immigrant Song for the third Led Zeppelin album. Trúbrot was very much influenced by the electric music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young by Led Zeppelin and Keith Emerson. Trúbrot went to London to have Orange amplifiers custom-made for the band, and to Copenhagen to record Undir Áhrifum at the Wifoss Studio. The album became the best album of 1970. Really amazing male English vocals, great arrangements, guitars, organ. Psychedelic/progressive rock of the best kind strongly influenced by British underground. Trúbrot recorded 2 more albums which will be released on Shadoks, too.

Theyre legit boneheads having fun, and it shows. Their tune, Setting Fire to Your Loft, ranks among their very best. Also, bonus points for the Calvin and Hobbes pissing on Scion label design. TRUE SONS OF THUNDER are wading in similar waste on their side, their first on vinyl. Featuring a couple high-profile names from Memphis punk elite. TSOTs Butt Bong is a tongue-in-bung noise plod through a total inebriation haze. Spoken vocals a la The Legendary Stardust Cowboy or Ross Johnson, but so fucking absurd you cant help but be impressed. Its booming on AmRep levels, yet falling apart from the moment it begins. Drug-punk rampage spread across two sides. If anything, this record reclaims art-punk from yuppies and brings it back to the punks.

Side B starts with another beautiful & melancholic all acoustic affair (mostly stringed) and ends with an improvised electro-acoustic number of magical and fragile beauty.

They advertised for a "lead singer, brain optional", and recruited Glen Galloway (now SOUL JUNK) as a result. Other members of the band have included Ely Moyal, Andres Malinao, and Kevin Cascell. Captain Beefheart, Wire, The Boredoms, Sun City Girls, Pavement and Sonic Youth have all been identified as influences, and during the course of the bands history Trumans Water has produced experimental indie rock, often with a substantial element of improvisation." - Wikipedia. 1994 release, with handmade/spraypainted jackets.

| "Born out of desperation in the brutal Canadian winter of 2009, ROBERT ALFONS and MAYA POSTEPSKI began writing songs about nostalgia, erotomania, and lust. TRUST combine elements of dark synth arpeggios, live and programmed drum beats and haunting, effected vocals effortlessly. What begins in the genre of minimal synth progresses into a sort of slow-techno that is equal parts introspective cold-wave and extroverted danceable. Their debut video directed by Eva Michon, shows a playful side to the duo as they ride around nature on a motorbike together, later though, hints at the pairs darker undercurrent emerge in the form of an Equus referenced incident involving Maya and a mare. Candy Walls is a gorgeous and controversial visual debut, which will undoubtedly be heavily buzzed about." -Sacred Bones |

Artist: TRYPES, THE Title: Music For Neighbors Format: LP Label: Acute Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
|
Beautiful letter pressed and hand assembled sleeve (w/ "tipped on" photo). "The Trypes were a wonderful psychedelic folk rock band from suburban New Jersey that featured Glenn Mercer and Bill Million, on hiatus from the Feelies. Along with Yung Wu and the Willies, The Trypes were part of a group of friends whos shifting membership comprised these sibling bands. The Feelies are the most well known, but each band had their own unique sound. The Trypes featured some of the jangle youd associate with The Feelies, but brought a more expansive and ornately arranged baroque psychedelic folk rock.
Trouser Press, reviewing their sole EP, wrote "The Explorers Hold is a placid, constantly shifting landscape of sounds. The four songs emphasize coloration, not beat; yet, for all its subdued calm, theres an explosive tension bubbling underneath the music…The quieter songs, complete with woodwinds and keyboards, are hauntingly beautiful." Despite only releasing a few songs during their existence, there was a wealth of fantastic unreleased material. Side A of Music for Neighbors will compile everything The Trypes released, the collectible Explorers Hold EP and one song from the classic Hoboken compilation Luxury Condos Coming to Your Neighborhood Soon. Side B features mostly demo recordings from an earlier period. Like all our vinyl releases, Music for Neighbors comes with a download card featuring the LP plus 7 more otherwise unreleased songs, mostly recorded live at rehearsals held at the legendary Hoboken club Maxwells. The lo-fi recording only adds to the epic psychedelic mystery and charm of these tracks. In addition to the download card, there is a deluxe booklet featuring liner notes by Trypes John Baumgartner, Mark Francia and Trype and Feelie Glenn Mercer, as well as intro notes from the bands first fan, journalist, Maxwells sound-man (and later Yo La Tengo man) Ira Kaplan." - Acute.

Artist: TSEE MUD Title: LSD Bacro Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $44.00 |
| "500 numbered copies. 180 gram vinyl in a heavy sleeve with insert. It may be possible that, until this release, that these three names do not sound familiar to lovers of South American underground music, but for any fan of good Venezuelan hard psych rock of the 60s and 70´s, Bacro, Tsee Mud, and LSD are really special bands and well known. Beside the other great album from Venezuela, Ladies WC, this release is as good and as important. The band has only released a couple of singles and played a lot of great live concerts. Those bands from José Romero on guitar changed names from LSD to Tsee Mud and to Bacro. In-between those bands, José lived in USA and was part of the band The Del-Vikings, which included a concert at the Madison Square Garden. José went back to Venezuela and continued playing with his band Bacro. All those tracks presented on this album here are extra strong and heavy psychedelic with amazing fuzz guitar and vocals and lots of acid moves. A really wild album all the way." -Shadoks. |

Artist: TSEMBLA Title: Fauna Format: LP Label: Ikuisuus Country: Finland Price: $19.00 |

"More mysterious electro-acoustic Finnish psych-folk. Dont hear too many lyrics on this one, but as would be expected, the titles are all in the native tongue, so Im not sure whats going on. But as with Kemialliset Ystavat and similar artists, theres a playful mix of broken-sounding synths, acoustic instruments, bird calls, small percussion, and plenty of other exotic sounds.
For whatever reason, side 2 grabbed me a lot more than the first. I think its a little more straightforward, rhythmically, and theres also more of a Boards Of Canada distorted childhood memory vibe to it. Its quite pretty. As a whole, though, the album isnt quite as energetic, schizophrenic or densely constructed as Kemialliset Ystavat, but its definitely worth checking out if youre into that style." - Paul Simpson, Foxy Digitalis.

"Decay and copulation rites flourish around a trash raft that fish take for a coral reef. The sun blinds your eyes, but you can see a figure there... And in the desert, wind, erosion and echoes work the surroundings of Poly Styrenes ex-hang-out, an oasis filled with lively people and empty beer cans. Ornamental carpets and fresh water, too. There it is again! Its Tsembla playing her modified samples, strings, reeds, percussion and the whole range of modern psych instruments to create fiestas with strong twists of pop music. Sounds old and new and like nothing youve ever heard before."

Artist: TSUNODA, TOSHIYA Title: Vibrational Movements Of Metal Plates / Limiting Feedback Oscillation Format: LP Label: Ahora Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
|
"Side 1: vibrational movements of metal plates - a thin metal plate is suspended between 2 attached loudspeakers. The output of both loudspeakers are sine oscillations within a low frequency range which generate vibrational movements of the metal plates resulting in a complex variation of vibrational movement. In this work, I placed 2 microphones close to the plate in order to record the movement faithfully. The determination of the placement of the microphones gives an observational perspective of the vibrational movement; in this way, it is possible to fix some phase variation from these vibrational movements. The metal plate is suspended lengthwise by a fulcrum which is fixed at the horizontal center, and within 1 inch from the the top edge. The two loudspeakers are attached to the upper end of the plate and the two microphones are placed at the lower end. side 2: - limiting feedback oscillation. these tracks are a recording of my installation that I have dealt with some feedback oscillation. When an input microphone and an output loudspeaker are set into the same space, a feedback oscillation occurs in the signal transmission circuit because the sound of the output returns to the input microphone. I inserted a gate device into the circuit in order to limit the feedback oscillation between the input microphone and the output loudspeaker. The device cuts the signal below a certain voltage of the signal. Thus, I can find out a threshold level of the feedback oscillation using the gate device as the limitation. In this work, I put the microphone and the loudspeaker at a short distance into the same room, and adjust the limit level in accordance with the threshold level. In this result, the feedback oscillation reacts to the fluctuation of the chamber sound, in this work, the limitation on the circuit can give an opportunity to affect the space where the chamber becomes my motif. The limit level on the circuit is fixed on track 1 of side 2, I sounded a 1463 hz sine wave into a closed room where the size is 14 square meters x 2.5 Meters high. On track 2 of side 2, the motif is a chamber sound of an open room where the size is 490 square meters x 4 meters high. I placed the two circuits side by side - i.e. There are two output/input systems in the space. Recorded august 1997." - from the liner notes. edition of 425 copies.

Artist: TUCK TUCK TUCK Title: Format: LP Label: Skul Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "This first release consists of two distinctly different sides recorded in 2001 at home on a tascam 4 track. The first is a group of somber acoustic ditties, while the second is a side long, low-fi noise exploration. What we endearingly refer to as "the quiet side" could be understood as a further exploration of the classic singer-songwriter with their acoustic guitar strumming quietly in their room. The songs come off as raw and innocent. The voice is quiet, stark, forlorn and rambles freely. What we like to call "the loud side" works in a very similar way to the quiet side, in that it operates in a naive and raw manner, it is just that here the influence is more in the vein of early noise artists such as Throbbing Gristle. The sounds and instruments weave in and out, a pattern will arise and be followed out, only to be crossed by another and another and another. The sounds range from effected guitar to organ to bleeping electronic noises, to vocal shrieks to banging on the walls. Though the two sides are drastically different, both share an overall feeling or emotion. Edition of 300, handmade covers." - Skul. "And its nice: improvised scrape and amp shudder with a bitching deftness" -Thurston Moore & Byron Coley, Arthur Magazine. |

Artist: TUCK TUCK TUCK Title: The Story of Tuck Tuck Tuck Format: LP Label: Skul Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Here on the second Tuck Tuck Tuck record, (which arrives with the helpful title ⿿The Story of Tuck Tuck Tuck), the previously separated qualities of noise (side b) and singer-songwriter (side a) of the first lp are here combined in a set of songs that contain singing, sounds, guitars and noises throughout. While all the songs from the first release were untitled, on the new record half of them have been named. Adrift in these new songs, named and unnamed, sparse acoustic guitar is coupled with erratically-timed slow and sad, somber and sleepy singing. Primitive electrical interruptions and constructions arrive to enliven and frighten the songs, as do some surprising electric guitar arrangements, noises and solos. While the songs that make up ⿿The Story of Tuck, Tuck, Tuck contain certain traditional elements, (melodies, lyrics, singing, strumming), they are perhaps more unpredictable and free in their neglect for traditional song structures than even the weirdest of the current crop of -out- sounding singer-songwriters. edition of 300/handmade covers." - Skul. "This oddball release of broken glass melodies at first seemed like a lost child, meandering endlessly toward nothing. But with each subsequent listen, each shard of glass seemed to fit into place, revealing something more majestic; some kind of beautiful, disjointed mosaic." - Foxy Digitalis. "...and the sound is as diffuse as the emotions. As in life, everything here can sound totally lost (even the instrumental bits). And that raises the human stakes to incredible heights at times when you didnt even know you were betting. The production is mammal-friendly too--a warm sound, like paper tearing in the next room, pervades everything. And it suits the words and the plucked guitar to a goddamn T." - Bull Tongue, Arthur. |

| "There seems to be two truisms I keep to: ONE - By and large, when an album is described as loner / psych / real people it isnt going to be as good as I hope, and TWO - The Residents suck. Generally these hold true for me, maybe you too, and often Ill look suspiciously at descriptions like that. But then I remember, hey the first few Residents records are pretty damn amazing, and hell, the Kenneth Higney and Moolah records are pretty great too. But when I have a need for the real people sound, the first record I reach for is Mark Tuckers In The Sack. Although better known for his Batstew record, which is pretty relative, this album is no slouch. The cast of characters is familiar, upright piano, backwards vocals, rants, ravings, life savings. But here its damn cheap; hell you should buy a few for friends, Im going to! Mark Tucker is very mean on the piano and the best backwards vocalist Ive ever heard, he knows more than blues progressions, this guy is writing pop symphonies. If David Ackles or bootleg Brian Wilson is your bag, this one is gonna rip the sack open (you can take that literally or apply it to Coley style allusion). Comparisons to the first Residents record are not far off, but I truly prefer Tuckers record, and it wouldnt be out of place in a spin with Moolah, Bruce Haacks kids records, Song Cycle and Horrific Child." - Jim ORourke, Brooklyn 04.

"America is a great country when one realizes its roadside stops offer artistic haven for all brands of perverts, bloodletters and musical cut-ups. More than mere concréte audio-collage, Batstew is both a respite from and an antidote for the sottish Reykjavik-borne revues polluting our national collegiate airwaves, and when the rare song-icons of folk-rock rise up from the maelstrom, one wants to offer both a firm handshake and a slingshot to the eye. Ive followed Merce Cunninghams lead and pasted a photo of Hilary Duff on the jacket of my copy, letting the excrement seep outward at its whim. something else, again, that i suppose you can file next to your tweddle, trimble and grudzien lps. this is tuckers first lp, the second being in the sack, a rec which goosed jim orourke into gasping, "thats the greatest record ever made"! batstew was pressed twice, with a stop at the mental institution inbetween. and with that thing passing around for not much less than 5 bones, this reish is priced for the people. sweet, innocent and totally wrecked DIY vibes, evoking the desperate bicylcles, department store santas, et al.

Got a few more sealed copies of this 1982 release (we last had them 4+ years back..). Tucker is known amongst the hardcore for his legendary private press LP, Bat Stew, which at this point has achieved near-holy grail status. On that record Tucker recorded his cars engine and, after realizing that that was somewhat dull to listen to, he assembled songs over/with the autosounds and pressed it up on vinyl. This was back in 75. The recordings on In The Sack, while not as out there as Bat Stew, still maintain an eerie, semi-crazed songwriter/outsider aura. With bizarre postal nightmare cover artwork. Highly recommmended! Vinyl reissue of Bat Stew coming soon..

Its striking artwork has made it much sought after by collectors but the music is the main attraction - delicate and rather extravagant, and very original for the time period, characterized by complex arrangements featuring acoustic instruments with an excellent use of flute, acoustic guitars and impeccable vocals. Tudor Lodge were very well known at the time, thanks to their numerous live appearances, in particular at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 1971.

Artist: TULLY Title: Live At Sydney Town Hall, 1969-70 Format: CD Label: Chapter Country: Australia Price: $16.00 |
| "Chapter Music presents two rare live recordings from quintessential Sydney prog group Tully, including their 1970 performance of Australias first-ever rock opera. These recordings capture the band in their first incarnation, before they joined forces with members of revered folk-psych band Extradition to explore more contemplative territory. Formed in late 1968, Tully The First were wild, expansive and unpredictable, their live shows now the stuff of legend. Terry Wilson (vocals), Richard Lockwood (reeds), Michael Carlos (organ), John Blake (bass) and Robert Taylor (drums) employed extended improvisation, spacious dynamics and an intuitive intensity, so impressing Australian jazz icon John Sangster that he called them "the best band in the world at the time." In mid 69, Tully became the house band for love-rock musical Hair, recording the original cast album later that year. They also starred in a six-part live-in-studio series Fusions, which premiered on ABC TV in August 1969. "Sights & Sounds Of 69," from a May show of the same name, is the only live Tully recording to have survived the intervening four decades, and documents a typically far-ranging, mind-expanding performance. Ken Firth (later of the Ferrets) replaced John Blake on bass in December 1969. Perhaps Australias greatest living composer, Peter Sculthorpe wrote "Love 200" specifically with Tully and vocalist Jeannie Lewis in mind. The work, commemorating Captain Cooks expedition to map the Transit Of Venus in 1769, was dismissed by the stuffy classical establishment at the time, but Sculthorpe now calls it simply "one of my best works." Heard here for the first time since the early 70s, "Love 200" is an astounding piece, both elegant and jarring, serene and chaotic. After Tullys 1970 self-titled debut, Wilson and Taylor left the band, which then assimilated Extraditions Shayna Stewart and Colin Campbell before releasing two more albums, Sea Of Joy (1971) and Loving Is Hard (1972), both markedly different from their fiery and often thunderous early form. Live At Sydney Town Hall, 1969-70 is a fascinating insight into the early work of one of Australias most heralded, but least-heard bands." -Chapter |

Artist: TULLY Title: Loving Is Hard Format: LP Label: Chapter Music Country: Australia Price: $18.00 |
| "Includes download card for the entire album, plus a bonus 1971 single. Luminous third and final album, Loving Is Hard, originally released in 1972, is the latest in Chapter Musics reissue series of Australian psychedelic icons, Tully. This follows the 2010 release of Live at Sydney Town Hall 1969-70 (CH 076CD), and 2012s reissue of the solemn, dreamy 1971 surf soundtrack Sea of Joy (CH 080CD/LP). Even before they began recording Loving Is Hard in late 1971, Tully had officially broken up. Over the previous 12 months, they had shifted from the towering, organ-driven rock dynamics of their 1970 self-titled debut, to a serene, contemplative folk-psych sound. Show-stopping drummer Robert Taylor and original vocalist Terry Wilson had departed, replaced by guitarist Colin Campbell and singer Shayna Stewart, both of cult folk heroes, Extradition. Although the change created music of stark, unearthly beauty, Tully had been massively popular in Sydney as a rock band, and their spiritually-driven transformation left many fans scratching their heads. Audiences declined steadily, response to the Sea of Joy soundtrack was muted, and by the end of 1971 they realized they could no longer continue. Still, they had one more album owing on their record contract, and decided to make a final statement before going their separate ways. Thankfully for us, in hindsight Loving Is Hard is an elegant triumph, all the more affecting for the turmoil that went into its making. The records centerpiece is Colin Campbells seven-and-a-half minute masterwork "Ice," originally recorded by Extradition for their 1971 album Hush, and later covered by Margret Roadknight. Shayna Stewarts voice is sublimely dispassionate, while the string arrangement by keyboardist Michael Carlos gives the song an imposing grandeur. The title-track, with lyrics by Campbell and music by bassist Ken Firth, is a summation of what the band were going through at the time, and for that reason is perhaps the most emotionally resonant track on the record. Stewarts gentle vibrato matches Carlos pulsing Hammond organ, and the resignation in Campbells lyrics is reinforced by Firths slow, haunting melody. Saxophone, clarinet and flute player Richard Lockwood opens the album with the stately "Love Can Make You," and sets a poem by fellow Meher Baba-devotee Francis Brabazon to solo piano accompaniment. As bonus tracks, this reissue appends Tullys one and only single, the sparse and somber 1971 release Krishna Came/Lord Baba. Like Sea of Joy before it, Loving Is Hard possesses a profound, serene beauty worlds removed from anything else happening in Australia at the time. Along with Tullys other albums, it has had to wait far too long to be rediscovered." -Chapter. |

Artist: TULLY Title: Sea of Joy Format: CD Label: EM Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "First time on CD & re-issue of the music for the classic Australian surf movie filmed by Paul Witzig in 1971, starring Wayne Lynce, Nat Young and Ted Spencer. Filmed in Australia, Mauritius, South Africa, Oahu and Kauai. The music was all written & performed by a psychedelic rock acid folk outfit called Tully featuring Richard Lockwood and Michael Carlos. The band that recorded Sea of Joy was the precocious child of two very different creatures, Tully the First (wild psychedelic & spiritual progressive rock) and Extradition (ethereal acid folk sounds, later survived the album entitled Hush). They played together once then became Tully the Second. The music they played for the soundtrack was engrossing and particularly enchanting (and still is!). You may find there will be nothing to compare such a recording with - not even other surf soundtracks or surfing-related music in the whole of surf music history (even now). Deep-psych-progressive-rock-acid folk surf in the early 1970s!" -Stephen McParland. |

Artist: TULLY Title: Sea of Joy Format: LP Label: Chapter Music Country: Australia Price: $18.00 |
| "Australian psychedelic icons Tullys solemn, dreamy 1971 surf soundtrack Sea of Joy. Sea of Joy documents a period of massive change for the band. For the previous two years, they had arguably been Australias most dynamic rock group, renowned for their wild, largely improvised concerts. Their rise was meteoric, from Sydney house band for tribal love-rock musical Hair in 1969, to starring in six-part ABC TV series Fusions and performing Peter Sculthorpe rock opera Love 200 at the Sydney Town Hall. By 1970, when they released their self-titled debut album, Tully were rock stars of a very rare order in Australian music, feted by highbrow critics and teenage groupies alike. Within a year, however, almost everything changed. Showstopping drummer Robert Taylor departed the band, swiftly followed by vocalist Terry Wilson, and the remainder of Tully joined forces with members of gentle, exploratory folk group, Extradition. Suddenly, Tully were rockers no longer. Flautist, clarinetist, saxophonist and de facto band leader Richard Lockwood had approached surfing director Paul Witzig after his now-iconic 1969 film Evolution (for which Tully had contributed some music alongside Sydney colleagues Tamam Shud), offering to record an entire soundtrack to his next film. Witzig had agreed when Tully were a towering rock band, driven by Michael Carlos massive Hammond organ and Lockwoods exploratory reeds, but by the time Sea of Joy came to be recorded, they were a drummer-less, contemplative folk-psych outfit, dedicated to spiritual guru Meher Baba. Although unexpected, the results were luminous. Sea of Joy radiates a serene purity, miles removed from what people generally think of as surf music, but as Witzig wrote on the back cover, "Tully are not surfers, but there proved to be many things common to both our worlds: a feeling for peace, beauty, simplicity and freedom." New member Colin Campbell contributes "I Feel the Sun," also recorded by Extradition for their lone, celebrated album Hush in 1971. The miraculous voice of Shayna Stewart is also heard for the first time on the Lockwood-penned title track. Humble, disarming and sublime, Sea of Joy is a record like very few others in the Australian rock canon. But like Tullys other albums, it has had to wait far too long to be rediscovered. Includes free mp3 download." - Chapter Music. |

Artist: TUMA, SCOTT Title: Dandelion Format: LP Label: Digitalis Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "This is Scott Tumas third release on the Digitalis label. After a five-year hiatus, 2008s Not For Nobody reminded everyone of the subtle force that was lurking in Chicago. He followed that up with an epic collaborative LP with Zelienoples Mike Weis and an underrated gem as part of the Good Stuff House trio. Those ideas and manifestations present on all three albums come to a head with Dandelion. This is Scott Tuma at his most definitive, most vocal, and most devastating. His acoustic vignettes flicker in and out like the specters of long-forgotten greats, showing up just long enough to remind you that once upon a time, they ruled the land of kings. Sparse guitar plucks and banjo strums ache in the thin air. "Red Roses For Me" puts all the pieces in place with hollow, reverberating drones piercing the grey skies in the first half of the song. Quiet recordings of birdsong echo in the background, bouncing off minimally shifting banjo and chimes. But this is when Tuma really starts to mess with you, this is when Dandelion takes one of many unexpected turns. As a siren wails in the background, he is almost playful in the last half of the piece with a chord organ and gently strummed guitar bleeding nostalgia into the streets. Its a sinister joke in the middle of the flood. Dandelion is a hymn to loves won, then lost. Dying on the vine, he bellows "you are so pretty," yearning for something simpler and easier to navigate. "Youre always on my mind" reminds us that things come to an end, that even the best things have a shelf-life. It runs head first into the megalith that is "Free Dirt." Mike Weis makes his presence felt as the duo navigates the darkest moments Tumas ever put to tape. This is "Taradiddle" drowned in the mud. Hope is lost to the darkness as denial turns to acceptance. Winding down into a wall of cymbals and heavy-handed acoustic guitar, its total catharsis. Eventually this ride, this testament comes to an end. The mournful longing of the final two pieces wraps Dandelion up into a perfect, graceful package. Scott Tuma shows one more time why theres nobody else like him around. This may be an album that asks a lot of questions, but it also answers every single one.

Artist: TUNNEL CANARY Title: Jihad Format: LP Label: Rundownsun Country: Canada Price: $22.00 |
|
"Formed nearly 30 years ago at the height of Vancouver BCs early punk scene, amidst Canadian HARDCORE progenitors like D.O.A., NO EXIT and SUBHUMANS, TUNNEL CANARY emerged with a sound more in common with the then still incubating UK POWER ELECTRONICS scene and a militant attitude/lifestyle more in-line with straight edge hardcore or East-Asian asceticism.
Influenced by avant-garde guitarists like Fred Frith and Keith Rowe, contemporary electronic composers like TUDOR, STOCKHAUSEN, and CAGE, and NO WAVE bands like MARS and DNA, TUNNEL CANARY produced a volatile and often violent mix of pure-noise, synthesizer music, free-improv, and confrontational performance art. Centered around the chaotic guitar-noise antics and synth compositions of guitarist Aleh Kaheen (now: Nathan Holiday) coupled with the accusatory and often absolutely-hysterical caterwauling of vocalist Ebra Ziron, and supported by the tasteful and powerful bass punctuations of David Sheftel, TUNNEL CANARYs unique sound sits somewhere in the spheres of POST-INDUSTRIAL, PROTO-POWER-ELECTRONICS, and NOISE while remaining outside the aesthetic trappings of any one of these genres.

Artist: TUNNEL OF LOVE Title: Rockin Rollin Bitches Format: LP Label: Black Gladiator Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| *"A reissue of the single greatest punk album of the 2000s, TUNNEL OF LOVEs Rockin Rollin Bitches. Two different labels have released this on compact disc, but this is the first time this album will ever be available on vinyl. Equal parts Guitar Wolf (the noise & fury),early Flamin Groovies (the pinnacle of trad rocknroll in a post55 world), and the Electric Eels & Slayer (for pure fucked-upedness and extreme Satanism), this fourteen-track LP clocks in at a modest 25 minutes, yet delivers more devastating music than most bands entire discographies. Tunnel of Love never practice, but every now and then they assemble in public, decked out in black and white striped tights and black capes, ripping apart punk clubs and leaving audiences stunned. This is truly the most bad-ass rocknroll band onearth. You can either get down or you can get out of their way."-Black Gladiator |

Artist: TURMAN, ROBERT Title: Beyond Painting Format: Double LP Label: Fabrica Country: USA Price: $28.00 |
| "Now on vinyl for the first time, one of Robert Turmans most cohesive and hypnotic recordings from circa 1990. Robert Turman began making sound experiments in the early 70s employing reel-ro-reel tape, cassette decks, an Arp synthesizer, drum sequencers, multiple string and percussion instruments, and whatever else he could scavenge. In the late 70s he co-founded NON (along with Boyd Rice), but left shortly after the release of Mode of Infection/Knife Ladder 7" to focus on composing and releasing his own music on limited-edition, and now extremely rare, cassette tapes. Robert has collaborated with art rockers FZ13, post-apocalyptic industrialists Z.O. Voider, and more recently Aaron Dilloway (Wolf Eyes, Nevari Butchers), Neon Depth and Jandek. Beyond Painting, with its 72 minutes of haunting lo-fi ambience, is probably one of Roberts most accomplished recordings. Layers of meditative synth loops, guitar, and eastern tinged melodies, all beautifully delayed, bring to mind blistering desert landscapes, high-tension cold war era spy action sequences, and dark cavernous sounds. Originally recorded in 1990, these tracks did not see the light of day until 2010 when they were self released on a limited run of 100 professionally printed and duplicated CD-Rs. Beyond Painting follows in the footsteps of the recently reissued "Flux" cassette on LP (Spectrum Spools). Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk (Mississippi Records, Sublime Frequencies, Grouper, Wooden Shjips, Yellow Swans) at Stereophonic Mastering. Edition of 500 on 140grm black vinyl in full-color gate-fold jacket." - Fabrica. |

Artist: TURMAN, ROBERT Title: Flux Format: CD Label: Spectrum Spools Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Flux is the 1981 debut solo outing of Robert Turman, an American multi-instrumentalist and avant-garde composer. Until recently, Turman was perhaps best known for his contributions to the ballistic NON project with Boyd Rice, as well as other obscured U.S. industrial acts such as Z.O. Voider. In the summer of 1981, Turman decided he would take a drastic turn from the noisy/electronic/industrial work of his compatriots, and began work on what is now the classic Flux cassette. Flux was originally self-released in extremely limited numbers. Weary of the noisescapes of old, he set out to create long-form minimalism utilizing kalimba, piano, "Mini-Pops Jr." drum machine, and tape loops to create a complex bed of interweaving micro-stasis. The results of these new experiments were as beautiful as they were perplexing. A curious, dusty fidelity carries these classic tracks across four sides of vinyl, including all of the original Flux content. These compositions glow with a sprawling, slow-motion haze thats light years ahead of its time. Flux reveals wide spectrums of sound from melancholic kalimba and percussion patterns to slowed-down, syrupy exotica. Turman had complex ideas in his mind, yet only the simple technologies of the day were at hand. Hear the click of the stopping and starting Tascam 3340 open-reel tape machine as one hand presses the "record" and "play" buttons and the other plays piano phrases. While there are similarities in style to classical minimalism, Turmans sound and vision is his own and is exclusive to his limited discography. Lovingly remastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering from the original C-60 cassette master. Original cassette artwork and scans provided by Aaron Dilloway." -Spectrum Spools. |

Artist: TURMAN, ROBERT Title: Way Down Format: LP Label: Dais Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
|
"Originally released as a small run cassette in 1987, only to fall into tape label obscurity, Robert Turmans industrial genre-bending masterpiece album Way Down finally has been excavated for a proper vinyl reissue after twenty-three years in the shadows. This album solidifies Turman as a cut above the rest with respect to his talent and his natural ear for experimental composition. Turman first came onto the industrial scene in the late 70s as the ominous other half of legendary noise outfit NON, alongside Boyd Rice, together releasing the now classic first NON single, Mode of Infection/Knife Ladder 7″ in 1977. After parting ways, Turman went on an excursion of self-released cassettes to which he fused every possible influence at his disposal, culling together past habits of experimental know-how and going forward into uncharted terrain. After his previous experimental efforts included on his Flux release in 1981, and even later in the prolific Chapter Eleven boxset, Turman turned the tables with the creation of Way Down, using synthesizer arrangements and drum machines alongside guitar solos, piano chords, tape loops and primitive sampling to create a whole new concoction of dance-like minimal synth blended together with the industrial darkwave noise he was mostly known for. After almost vanishing from the music scene, Turman resurfaced in 2005, teaming up with seminal noise musician Aaron Dilloway to not only reissue previous recordings, but to record and perform once again with new releases out on Hanson and Medusa. This vinyl reissue of Way Down serves as the blueprint of what Turman sought to render as a very accessible minimal synth/industrial album, yet keeping it just obtuse enough to make it one of the most brilliant and engaging albums to be ushered into the canon of 80s experimental culture. Numbered, limited edition of 500. Includes a glossy insert with new notes by Turman." -Dais

Night before Im about to move...INSANE SNOWSTORM HITS....(If I remember correctly it was the same one that TOTALED AND STRANDED THE HAIR POLICE!)...drunk and missing my wife and kid who had left for Michigan a week earlier, I decided to camp out over at Turmans for a few days...On my insane drive a whopping 3 blocks away... my truck breaks down...

Artist: TUUSANUUSKAT Title: Nääksää Nää Mun Kyyneleet Format: LP Label: Fonal Country: Finland Price: $22.00 |
| "Tuusanuuskat is a collaboration between Es and Tomutonttu. The name of the project Tuusanuuskat is a play on words derived from the phrase "tuusan nuuskana," (trans. "total shambles"). It is a Finnish saying that is used when something has broken to a million pieces. The phrase is generally used in a playful context, and often received with laughter. If you Google "tuusan nuuskana," some of the first hits youll get are: "After birth; private parts tuusan nuuskana," "Ferrari tuusan nuuskana" and "Steve Jobs mansion tuusan nuuskana." Yes, they have chosen their name wisely. Es is a project of Sami Sänpäkkilä, a musician, filmmaker and the head of Fonal Records. To date, he has released five full-length albums, and made tons of short films and music videos. He also scored the soundtrack to the Swedish award-winning film Apflikorna. His music and films are experimental moodscapes that explore the themes of melancholy, pathos and hope. Tomutonttu (trans. "dust gnome") is a human by the name of Jan Anderzén, a visual artist and leader of the respected avant-garde sound group Kemialliset Ystävät. Toy reed streams, mutilated vocals and groovy loops of animal noise are just some of the colors used to create the whirling mess that is the lonely song of Tomutonttu. His discography is a labyrinth reflecting the nature of his music. Together, they have prepared an experimental cocktail that sounds like two drunken masters of music, conducting the protons and neutrons travelling from their instruments to their skulls and back, to create a musical nucleus. The packaging both displays Fonals customary attention to detail. It includes a striped acetate film, that when placed over the cover, creates an animated sequence of images. The illusion works on the persistence of vision principle. The covers are designed and produced by Jari Suominen (of fellow Fonal recording artists Jarse and Shogun Kunitoki). Limited edition run of 500 copies." - Fonal. |

This recording took place in the building and garden of Fundacao de Serralves and Porto Palacio Hotel. The basic idea was to record the sound of running horses for a collaborative public sound sculpture by both artists, however during the process other sounds (such as drunk Venezualan singing, "vacuumcleaning," rambling, and discussions about Maurizio Catalan and the snake of jungle book who by the way "has a very stupid expression on his face") landed on the tape which changed the running horses into crazy horses. This record is released for the "involved" exhibtion in Shanghai, curated by Phillippe Pirotte. Limited to 500 copies, B-side features an etching by Tuymans and Balka." -Ultra Eczema

"How many records just feel mysterious these days? The debut Pink Reason 7" had it, the Los Llamarada LP has it in spades, certainly the Blank Dogs can pull it off whenever "they" choose, but most records will sit before your jaded eyes and ears and perform exactly the dance they appear to advertise: powerpop, electro-beep, folkie stems n seeds, etc. This here TV Ghost 7" is more in line with the aforementioned bands as a new X Factor on the micro-popular music scene, a band whose sound is difficult to categorize and resists easy comparison. No, they dont sound like the Blank Dogs, they are working a vein that drives a path back thru indie rock all the way to early No Wave and threads forward to us thru the LAFMS archives with a pitstop in Port Chalmers for a spot of homebake. It helps that the songs on this record feel like excerpts from a larger whole, and that the vinyl tends to make your needle act like its haunted by St. Vitus in the middle of one side. Musico Mysterioso. Please kids, no limited-to-50 cassette follow-up to this, get this shit out to the "masses"�?� "-RW, Z-Gun.

If one can swim through the murky grime long enough to let ones frazzled senses adjust, its clear how effectively TV Ghost incorporates the licentious nuances of The Cramps earliest scuzz, no waves cacophony, and Suicides terrifying throb alongside cavernous bellows from the depths of the third layer of hell. With their 7-inch and 12-inch EP on Die Stasi Records as evidence of their shambolic songwriting and inhuman creativity within rocks static-laden low-end sound spectrum, TV Ghost now have aligned their belligerence with In The Red and delivered Cold Fish-ten tracks of a teeth-shattering, unhinged, and thoroughly penetrating version of whats lurking in punks darkest corners." - In The Red |

Artist: TV GHOST Title: Mass Dream Format: LP Label: In the Red Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Taking their name from the phenomenon of analog television frequency disturbances, Lafayette, Indianas TV GHOST conjures an especially sludgy and punishing brand of art-punk. They began making a name for themselves in 2007, when their first 7-inch, Atomic Rain, was released by Die Stasi Records, also home to the noisy likes of Pink Reason and Zola Jesus. TV Ghosts sinister sound-which echoes the Scientists, Suicide and The Cramps 70s output-and frantic live show won them an underground following; a 12-inch EP on Die Stasi, a single on Columbus Discount Records and their debut album, Cold Fish, followed in 2009 with several rounds of touring the US in support. The bands trek across Europe in 2010 left a trail of busted gear, annoyed booking agents and new fans behind them. TV Ghosts sophomore full-length was recorded by GREG ASHLEY (Gris Gris), and Mass Dream is by far their clearest and most coherent release to date. While sacrificing none of the bands scuzz-punk dementia, this album is far less dense and impenetrable than its predecessor; Ghost frontman TIM GICKs lyrics are clearer and his complex song structure a bit easier to get a handle on. That said, this is still blood-boiling, spastic and down right evil music by anyones standards." -In the Red. |

We here at Sweet Rot are huge fans of all the bands records, and feel that this just might be the best one yet and the one that best captures the intensity and urgency of their epic live show.

Artist: TV-RESISTORI Title: TV-Resistori Format: LP Label: Fonal Country: Finland Price: $22.00 |
| "TV-Resistori, the flagship of Finnish indie-pop, finally present their third album, which has been under construction since 2007. The album fuses a broad array of influences into one seamless entity, appealing to aficionados of American roots music and modern indie kids digging Jenny Wilson or Belle And Sebastian. The beautiful vocal harmonies of Päivi and Ykä (the singer-songwriter of the group) flourish, while the cheap bubblegum keyboards have been mostly exchanged for warm, acoustic sounds from upright piano, to banjos or drums made out of suitcases. Although these mature, timeless songs lean towards Finnish schlager, Motown or even country music, it doesnt mean things have gotten boring or middle-of-the-road -- theyre just more confident. TV-Resistori can still shake, rattle and roll like young stallions let out to the fields for the first time after the winter. Nevertheless, to balance the upbeat dance numbers, their tape has also captured one of the most touching bluegrass ballads of this century, "E.S.O.P.M.J.M.V.M.P.S.O. (Pallo)." Dont let the song title fool you." -Fonal. |

Try to imagine Bob Dylans unreleased basement tapes with the Band accompanied by French musique concrete composer Luc Ferraris masterpiece of natural sound Presque Rien, and youll get an idea of the brilliance to be found on this privately pressed, head-scratchingly amazing opus of Appalachian psychedelia. Originally from Kentucky, Tweddle found himself ensconced in the Haight-Ashbury scene in the late-60s where he experimented with a good deal of LSD." - Other Music. "Reissue of eccentric folk artist Charlie Tweddles self-released 1974 LP Fantastic Greatest Hits, a unique blend of psychedelic country and tape experiments. Charlie felt sure his new style of music would take the world by storm -- it didnt work out that way. Recorded in 1971, 500 copies of Fantastic Greatest Hits were pressed in 1974 under the name Eilrahc Elddewt with extravagant packaging. The LP was hand-distributed and received only minimal positive feedback; sales were poor. Why? Well for one, side two of the album is 25 minutes of chirping crickets and sound fragments. The abrupt patches of dead air on side one probably didnt help much either. More than a few of these albums were returned as defective. Of course, all of these production moves were intentional. The CD was transferred from a copy of the original album. It includes six unreleased tracks from the same period as well as all of the original artwork in a fold-out digipak." - Companion. "One of the more significant outsider 70s albums to finally get a reissue. Originally recorded in 1971 and rarely ever seen, never previously bootlegged even. High quality digipak packaging, with 6 bonus tracks." - FE. Highly Recommended! |

| "Coasts has been a long time in the making. John Twells (aka Xela) and Matt Christensen (of Zelienople) have been collaborating in various forms for years, but this is their first fully-realized work. The entire album was made with vintage gear and recorded to 8-track during a weekend in Chicago in 2008 and finally mixed at Twells Seventh Door Studio outside Boston. The resulting record is a spectral odyssey in two parts. Darkened passages shift and fall apart while keeping the piercing sun at bay. Faint song structures lurk beneath the rolling black waves, but only get an arm above the surface during those rare moments of light. Opening with "The Crate," immediately you are immersed inside the belly of the whale as Twells siren call gets trapped beneath Christensens bleak guitar notes. It all feels held together by the thinnest of threads. Rattling tones crawl out from underneath swirls of electronics, like barely-there points of reference in a white-out. Lines are crossed but blur together and everything ends up sounding like a desperate, beautiful collage of sound. Its all a ruse, anyway, as you are tricked into a sense of calm as the dying orchestral zones gently flame out. "Burning Bridges Together" is your reward for buying in. Crunching guitar chords bowl into you at full-force, moving slow but piling on the pressure. Christensen belts out the vocals this go-round, getting buried underneath endless washes of fuzz-soaked cacaphony. Tension rises to the point of no return as they desperately search for a breaking point. Things finally settle down and gently fade into oblivion, Christensens guitar providing the final epitaph. In the end, the seamless nature of the collaboration is what really leaves its mark." -Digitalis |

Artist: TWENTY SIX Title: This Skin is Rust Format: Double LP Label: Bobby J Country: USA Price: $38.00 |
| "The concept of the double album is all but lost these days. W/ CDs clocking in at 70+ minutes, its only logical that the vinyl version would have to be two discs, so naturally, there are more dull dbl-LPs now than ever. Of course, even before CDs ruined the format, it was still primarily used to cash in on something - the live LP, the career retrospective - but the dbl-LP as a non-negotiable statement of "what it is", not "fill it up" those are pretty few & far between. Personally Ive always been kindve into that statement - not the vinyl equivalent - the idea that said bulk of work has to be released as is because of some sortve linear transformation within. You know what I mean? For instance, I would say the two best example s of this in the 90s have been Lake & Harsh Seventies Reality. Not far down the path - & especially for the latter 90s - would be this. Its probably safe to assume that Mr Twenty-Six has been w/in earshot of both those releases, but no matter, the vectors on this here still point back to his basement. What I particularly like about this are the long, exorbitant breaths that are taken. The banding on the vinyl would have you believe that there are many different pieces - there are - but they move inconspicuously in & outve each other, like hemp-laced tether balls floating through plumes of pigmentary smoke in some anonymous, non-gravitational netherworld. It can be downright numbing at times. And while I cannot say for sure that anything on here consciously nods in the direction of fellow Texans Jandek or Charalambides, its staying power is certainly more up to par w/ them than, say, Stars Of The Lid or any of that ambient punk clone crap currently making the rounds. Go ahead & blab all you want about the Krautrock mumblings emitted, Ill still shove it in the pile closer to the This Heat records than anything else. Now theres a band who shouldve made a dbl-LP. There arent too many names to add to that list. The list of those who shouldnt have - well now, that list is very long. And growing." - Tom Lax / Opprobrium (1995). |

"Forming late 2008 around charismatic guitarist/vocalist MARTY FRAWLEY (son of revered Australian songwriter Maurice Frawley) and bassist RICK MILOVANOVIC, THE TWERPS have quickly risen to become one of Australias favorite lo-fi pop bands. Their debut EP, released on Chapter Music in late 2009, featured nine short, simple but incredibly infectious tracks, recorded by Eddy Current Suppression Ring guitarist Mikey Young. These tracks were also released by US label Night People, run by members of blog hype band Wet Hair. On the basis of these releases, the Twerps have received a wealth of positive attention from around the world." -Underwater Peoples.

Artist: TWIN STUMPS Title: Seedbed Format: LP Label: Fan Death Country: USA Price: $15.00 |

"If a bands surroundings influence their sound, one might assume that Ridgewood, New York, a neighborhood on the border of Brooklyn and Queens that TWIN STUMPS calls home, is a decaying urban wasteland seldom seen outside of dead industrial cities in Eastern Europe. Coming on the heels of last years critically acclaimed self-titled 12-inch on Dais, universally considered one of the most grotesque, misanthropic, and extreme releases of 2009, a listen to Seedbed finds the band pulling you further into the grime and mire of THEIR world. The result is a truly unnerving mixture of suffocating feedback and distortion, blown-out drum sounds, loop abuse beyond recognition, and the manipulated, maniacal barks of wild-eyed singer ALESSANDRO KEEGAN. Recorded and mastered by BEN GREENBERG (Zs/Pygmy Shrews) at Python Patrol. LP includes a download." -Fan Death

| "Twinsistermoon is the solo project of Mehdi Ameziane of Natural Snow Buildings. The Hollow Mountain was originally issued by Dull Knife Records in 2009 as an LP limited to only 105 copies -- unsurprisingly it sold out in a matter of hours. Widely regarded by many Natural Snow Buildings fans as one of the best releases from their camp, this reissue has been remastered by Ben Nash, includes new artwork, and brand new unreleased material. The album has a beautiful earthy lo-fi feeling throughout which perfectly compliments its short and sweet folk songs, and occasional wanderings into psychedelic drone ambience. This is an album that really is totally beautiful and probably one of my favorites from Mehdi. The CD is packaged in a square artwork booklet and a pro-printed card wallet showcasing the superb original artwork from the LP sleeve. Limited to 1000 copies." -Blackest Rainbow |

Artist: TWINSISTERMOON Title: Then Fell The Ashes Format: LP Label: Blackest Rainbow Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "Brand new full length vinyl LP from Natural Snow Buildings Mehdi Ameziane solo project. This is the third Twinsistermoon release since 2009s The Hollow Mountain LP and Bride of Spirits 7" which were both released on the excellent Dull Knife label. Following on from these two gems, various obscure self released items and CDs on Digitalis and Students of Decay, Amezianes sound has grown somewhat darker at times with this LP featuring nearly 50 minutes of brand new material. The A-side features 6 tracks, where as the B side is complemented with a huge, almost 25 minute track. The opening track Black Nebulae is a gorgeously textured psychedelic drone-based piece, followed by a short, quieter, guitar plucked piece with vocals, but no words, entitled 1976. Ghost That Was Your Life is a stunning beautiful layered guitar piece with Amezianes astounding beautiful vocals shining through. Big Sand opens as one of the darker pieces, with an occult feeling to its sound, swirling vocal drones, almost like a choir at times, and in come those stunning warm and distinctive gutar sounds with layered ghostly sound scapes, that haunt much of Amezianes solo and NSB recordings. Half way through this track it fades into layered field recordings, drones, and distant chimes, the sound of this track at this point just has a real melancholy vintage sound, the last two minutes are again a change of sound with a slow plucking of guitar strings. Desert Prophecy returns of the sound of just Ameziane and his guitar, with some lo-fi electric riffing distortion in the background. Its pretty incredible to hear this and think that its from 2010, and not from the 60s or 70s. The sixth and final track on the first side is Trailer, another beautiful somewhat lighter folk sound, which is interesting considering the following is the albums title track, Then The Ashes Fell, a side long track which is a considerably darker and heavier track than much of the rest of the LP, but it weaves in some beautiful lighter more reflective moments. Pro printed covers and labels. Heavyweight vinyl." -Blackest Rainbow |

Artist: TWITCH Title: Things Format: 7" Label: Supreme Echo Country: USA Price: $9.00 |
 "Canadas long lost doom/proto-punk legends finally unleashed! Distancing themselves from the bustling local psych scene, they formed in 1971 on the rural outskirts of Vancouver becoming a hard rock trio unlike any other local group. A newspaper article dated January 18, 1973 mentions "the ear-splitting Twitch" playing regularly to capacity audiences.Band leader Ian prompted the guys to wear bloody horror-fantasy make-up and bizarre outfits, becoming the first (and only) in Vancouver to do so (also believed to be first to use smoke & fog) packing full house night after night. Late March / early April they did two recording sessions documenting the entirety of original compositions - a mere four songs resulting in two 45 singles. The first 45 was issued in May and the second in August, both pressed in roughly 100 copies. Near to the end of 73, drummer Bernie decided that make-up was against his principles and left on amicable terms. The original power trio ended giving way to the legendary and shocking "Dark Years" of 1974-75 with all together new group, heavier sound, darker image (like black metal bands of today), and elaborate stage show. Twitchs legacy is the missing link for both early 70s proto-punk and proto-metal of the Pacific Northwest region; what was yet to come during 1974-78 only confirmed such to be true. Originally issed as two separate sleeveless 45s in very small editions, now compiled onto one EP with orange repro labels, deluxe picture sleeve (not fold-over), and 16 page booklet with detailed history & tons of photos. Fully authorized, limited edition of only 600 copies." -Supreme Echo, 2012.  |

Artist: TYBURN TALL Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Garden of Delights Country: Germany Price: $33.00 |
| "A rather organ-oriented record -- the keyboardist being a real achiever. The work is characterized by its long instrumental passages. There is unfortunately a certain audible tape noise -- the studio then left a lot to be desired. The band was founded in Speyer on the Upper Rhine in 1969 and released only this single LP. In 1972 all of 200 copies were produced, half of which were destroyed during a fire in the music store Markus. The original in mint condition is today thus traded at about 2,000 euros. Therefore, the record is -- together with the Langsyne LP and the first edition of Cans Monster Movie -- one of the three most expensive collectors items in the field of Deutschrock. The new edition has been limited to 1,000 LPs. It is numbered individually, has been released in the original gatefold cover, and contains a four-page insert in LP size." - Garden of Delights. |

The people who werent on the other side of the line thought it was funny, though. The conversations interlude with Vomgrills analog synth and scruffy voice tunes which gives it a specific radioplay sound or even borders with sound poetry.

| "This record is all about flipping the coin. Flipping the coin of persistence and patience. A heavy endurance test pill to swallow and right on time for chilly winter nights. Dylan Nyoukis is back on his grind. And a toothcrushing experience it is. Going back to the old school vocal perversion the Chocolate Monk president is known for. I met the bearded one at the beach in Brighton for the first time, where Dylan was sipping dirtcheap beer and gargling bits of Slayer lyrics while pointing directions to his crib. A retarded brew of high and low pitched vocal scruff, muffled sonic slime and lungs full of asbestos dust from sitting in a cave of obscurity for the past twenty years. He will sing for wine or ass candy and likes visuals that piss on the hi-brow. Total no-fi cassette trouble and underage kids chewing on dusted tapeloops, basically more science fiction that the inflatable puppets in Munchies. Then the needle stops moving and we hike to Belgium. Tyfus drools in the microphone and lets his bodily juices make contact with translation delays, empty kleenex boxes and the power that controls the earths core. Constant knob tweaking, contact micd cheese balls, endless layers of mutilated throat sounds jump across the circuitboard like mechanical ants. Theres a lot of weird information to absord here. Besides the vicious ragtime gobot action, theres a gentle more furry choir medidation zone that will trance your brain muscles over the rainbow. Highly influenced by aborignal ways of life and the medidative nature of throat singing, Homo Sapiens Tyfus spit out a true projection of his tormented soul. Apparently theres a difference between music and sounds ? Packaged in a classic fold-out silkscreen jacket in a limited edition of only 250 copies. Go hard is all they know..." - Carloo Steegen |

Took was replaced on this album by Micky Finn (backing vocals, Moroccan Clay Drums, table, bass, finger cymbals). and Bolan introduced electric guitar to their sound for the first time. Finns theory on bongo fury was a lot less inspired than Tooks and Bolans songwriting/singing seemed to aim more squarely at the anthemic/glam protocol that was soon to emerge.

A beautifully recorded collection of tracks composed between 2004 and 2010, Detours belongs to a rarefied class of supremely listenable and beautiful piano albums that are not encumbered by any new-age shabbiness. It possesses the sort of timeless and elegant romanticism so unpretentious and accomplished it seems to at once effortlessly canonize itself. The four pieces on Detours have their origins in disparate sources of inspiration -- a longtime friend in San Francisco, a chance visit to a Quaker meetinghouse, a choreographed dance, philosophical intuition. Harmonic discourses begin at a pre-determined location and wind up at a totally unexpected place. Tyranny is a master pianist, able to follow mood and impulse to uncharted new territory." -Unseen Worlds. |

Blunt Intsturmental isnt all insturmental but there is a focus on letting the rythms and noise play out a bit. Whats interesting is that while the sound and insturmentation jam out a bit more it feels even more raw and stripped down then the recent full length LP. A sort of step forward into a more groove oreinted, noisy jammy territory while simultaniously returning to the sound of the early singles.

Tyveks In The Red debut, Nothing Fits, is a scalding collection of amped-up and thrust-out songs that cranks up the energy level far beyond their previous releases and decimates the detractors into the abyss. Its Tyvek at their fiery, screaming best, and if this doesnt curl your eyebrows and your toes simultaneously with excitement, then you might need to settle for something musically akin to hospital food or take another laxative, because this blast of new recordings might just flush out your system to the point of personal emergency."-Todd Killings, Victimoftime.com* Vinyl includes digital download coupon. |

Artist: TYVEK Title: On Triple Beams Format: LP Label: In The Red Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "TYVEKs third album, On Triple Beams, picks up where the blistering proto-hardcore of the Nothing Fits record leaves off, but doesnt tarry long in familiar zones. The melodies open up into a much more spacious musical headspace, channeling unexpected positivity on tracks like "Wayne County Roads," "Say Yeah" and "Returns." Produced by FRED THOMAS, On Triple Beams is hard and direct but it doesnt pummel. Likewise, the lyrics aint pedantic. Searing punk rock is still the order of the day, and the tunes are just bangin. And in case theres any doubt: these are tunes in a major way-the songwriting chops are on this album are completely out of place in the 2012 bumper crop of plastic platters. Welcome to the strange path that Tyvek has trod for the past eight years: for every step forward, they take two steps to the side for good measure. This trip wont be spoiled by the crass opportunism of the Nu-Detroiters: they have to keep it real. Sometimes the new jacks just gotta get put in check, and obviously Mommy and Daddy werent ever going to do it. In the midst of so much change, Tyvek is energized by the chaos of a city in flux, the crucial moments that make up everyday life, and the unfiltered reality of sensory experiences. Hear the sound and jump all around." -In The Red. |
