Artist: WADA, TASHI Title: Gradient Format: 7" Label: De Stijl Country: USA Price: $7.00 |
| "Tashi Wada is a San Francisco-based composer and performer whose recent work focuses on sound perception as a basis for direct modes of listening. His work has been performed throughout the United States and Europe, and for several years now he has performed alongside his father, Yoshi Wada. Gradient is two sustained tones, a fourth apart, positioned along a wall, one at each end. The string player produces a very slow glissando from one pitch to the other while physically moving from one pitch to the other -- in other words, the string player moves so that pitch distance coincides with spatial distance. The two possible directions form a sculpture-like presence shifting through all of the blue notes. Harry Partch often worked with this type of harmony, so Tashi and Marc Sabat used one of his adapted violas for the recording." -De Stijl. |

Artist: WADA, YOSHI Title: Earth Horns With Electronic Drone Format: CD Label: EM Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "Yoshi Wada and EM Records presents the first-ever, world-premiere release of Earth Horns With Electronic Drone, recorded live in 1974. Combining four of Wadas self-made "pipehorns" (made from plumbing materials, over three meters in length), with an electronic drone tuned to the electrical current of the performance space, this is a lost masterpiece of early minimalism, placing Wada rightfully in the pantheon with La Monte Young, Phill Niblock, Maryanne Amacher and Alvin Lucier. Recorded live in Syracuse, New York, this recording captures the room-filling complex overtones generated by the ever-shifting interplay of the breathing horns and the constant electronic drone. This is a music of ritual hypnotic power, its heavy low-end mass and sense of change within constancy engendering a meditative transcendency. Earth Horns With Electronic Drone is the fourth and ultimate release in Em Records Yoshi Wada series, a must for all fans of minimalism, heavy drones, ritual, mystery and world-shaking transcendence. From an original performance of almost three hours, the CD features a 77-minute excerpt. The full performance is also available as a 3LP set (162 minutes). From Earth horns to beyond the firmament: prepare to be elevated! Pipehorns constructed by Yoshi Wada; electronic equipment designed by Liz Phillips and Yoshi Wada; Electronics: Liz Phillips; Pipehorn Players: Jim Burton, Garrett List, Barbara Stewart and Yoshi Wada. 96khz/24bit digitally remastered, including a booklet with text in Japanese & English, and a reproduction circa-1975 Fluxus poster by George Maciunas." -EM |

Artist: WADA, YOSHI Title: Lament For The Rise and Fall of the Elephantine Crocodile Format: CD Label: EM Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "Finally, a CD reissue of Yoshi Wadas most important and most rare LP, Lament For The Rise And Fall Of The Elephantine Crocodile, originally released in 1982 on the India Navigation label. Yoshi Wada is a Japanese sound installation artist and musician -- he moved to New York in the late 1960s, and became well-known as a Fluxus artist with links to La Monte Young, and has been involved in many performances and sound installations. However, he has released only two recordings, which are both hard to find. This CD contains two pieces: track 1 features a solo overtone voice (he studied with legendary Indian vocalist Pandit Pran Nath) recorded at the performance space Dry Pool (literally a dry pool that Wada slept in before this recording), with a deep underground echoing feeling. Track 2 displays Wadas trademark dense psychedelic drones using his "pipe horn," a home-made, bagpipe-like instrument. These wondrous sounds will take you to another, better world. 96khz/24bit digitally remastered complete full-length version (original LP edition was edited). Liner notes in English & Japanese." - EM |

Artist: WADA, YOSHI Title: Off The Wall Format: CD Label: EM Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "More Yoshi Wada from EM Records! The long-awaited reissue of Wadas 1985 LP Off The Wall, recorded in Berlin and originally released on the esteemed FMP-subsidiary SAJ label. A minimalist yet majestic monsterpiece ("massive," as Tom Johnson declares in his perceptive liner notes), Off The Wall features Wada and Wayne Hankin on bagpipes, Marilyn Bogerd on adapted organ, and percussionist Andreas Schmidt-Neri. The original album consisted of two side-long pieces recorded on successive days by Jost Geber, who captured the power and dynamics of the quartet without losing the meditative delicacy of the bagpipes and the intricacy of their interplay with the homemade organ (constructed by Wada), resulting in a slowly-evolving mosaic of combination tones and overtones. Simultaneously static yet changing, rooted and ethereal, homespun and alien, ancient and very modern, the music is created entirely with acoustic instruments but has "electronic" textures at times, yet is very warm and human, always pulsing, shifting and mutating. Em Records is pleased indeed to release Off The Wall for the first time ever on CD, with the bonus track "Die Konsonanten Pfeifen," a slightly earlier recording with Wada and Hankin on bagpipes and Kevin Newhoff on percussion, originally released as a cassette." - Em Records |

Artist: WADA, YOSHI Title: Singing in Unison Format: Triple LP Label: EM Country: Japan Price: $68.00 |
 "Singing in Unison is the latest in a series of recordings from acclaimed sound artist, composer, and performer Yoshi Wada. Recorded live over two nights in 1978, on March 14th and 15th at New York Citys legendary performance space The Kitchen, Singing in Unison is a dramatic yet meditative work: modal improvisations for three male voices, singing, with great gravitas, in purposeful unison. These previously-unreleased recordings, featuring vocalists Richard Hayman, Imani Smith, and Wada himself are extremely powerful, with a glacial majesty and a sense of timeless wonder. Wadas earliest musical memories are of hearing Zen Buddhist ritual chants in his native Japan, and those memories are reflected in the deep vocalizations here; also evident is Wadas period of intense study with Indian master singer Pandit Pran Nath. Thus there is a definite "eastern" feeling to Singing in Unison, with further elements added by Imani Smiths Sufi background and Wadas interest in eastern European vocal styles, but the music is also informed by Wadas experiences in the Fluxus movement and as a member of the New York avant-garde community. The edgy atmosphere of 1970s New York City pervades these recordings, adding a hint of menace. Despite the fact that this is purely vocal music, fans of the slow-moving heaviosity of Sunn 0))) will appreciate Singing in Unison. Yoshi Wada has four previous releases on EM Records: Lament for the Rise and Fall of Elephantine Crocodile (EM 1074CD); The Appointed Cloud (EM 1076D); Off the Wall (EM 1078CD); and Earth Horns with Electronic Drone (EM 1081CD). This triple LP set features a complete version of both performances, March 14 and 15 (two and a half hours in total). Singing in Unison is a massive, monumental, monolith of vocal sound. 96khz/24bit digitally remastered. Liner notes written by Yoshi Wada, with English/Japanese text. Cover art by Yoshi Wada." -EM.

Artist: WADA, YOSHI Title: The Appointed Cloud Format: CD Label: EM Country: Japan Price: $21.00 |
| "This is the first-ever release of the extraordinary 1987 performance of Yoshi Wadas interactive sound installation The Appointed Cloud, recorded in the Great Hall of the New York Hall of Science. This majestic recording captures 60 minutes of sound produced by a self-made 80-pipe organ, a pipe gong, sirens and a massive suspended metal sheet, all triggered by a computer program designed by David Rayna. The CD also features Wada, Bob Drombowski and Wayne Hankin on bagpipes, plus Michael Pugliese (percussion). Dramatically structured, shifting and intense, The Appointed Cloud features massive low frequencies and regal percussion vying with the ululations of bagpipes, all resounding in the huge, reverberant space of the Great Hall with its 24-meter ceiling. This CD, the second Yoshi Wada release as a joint production of EM Records and Omega Point (the first being the reissue of 1982s Lament For The Rise and Fall of the Elephantine Crocodile), is sure to delight all who enjoy drones, dynamics and drama. "His creation explores the effects of low, rumbling bass sounds and the higher, ringing tones of the organ as they reverberate off the curving walls of the space ... The work continues Wadas fascination with producing sub-sonic sounds -- sound frequencies so low that it seems the sounds are produced by the inner ear rather than an outside source. "- EM |

Artist: WAGON TONGUES Title: Shadowrock Destroyer Format: Cass Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
|
"You can live in LA/Southern Cali for 40 years and still not traverse all the fucked up fringe boroughs and forgotten neighborhoods sprawling outwards in every direction, no matter how hard you hit the highways. And as long as weve been rooted out here, weve only had reason to venture into the sun-dead desert no mans land of Beaumont on one occasion, but the place speaks volumes about the weird water which hometown garbage-folk-chaos ensemble Wagon Tongues have clearly been drinkin their whole life. A creepy meeting ground of olde-tymey Wild West relics and trashy meth-dealing truckstop culture, its an ideal breeding ground for drifters, criminals, and creative youth with singular visions. Which is pretty much the name of the game on Shadowrock Destroyer, the Tongues most recent EP of deranged collective chemistry. The A, �??Fire In The Hole,�?� is a raw free ritual of stomping drums, loops, teen screams, guitar noise, and pots and pans, conducted in a crappy basement with cavernous reverb and black mold on the walls. Confusion is king. The B rises up in a similar cloud of clatter but swings with a folkier gait, sunlight brain-fry chords, dusty horns, and possessed babble bubbling over into an ecstatic tumbleweed hayride into the sunset. Squint yr eyes, raise your hand, seek the shadows. Pro-dubbed yellow cassettes with hand-brushed tape labels in cases with hand-numbered full-color masked band photo cover artwork, and wrapped with a hand-cut patch of brown picnic cloth stickering. Edition of 100." -Not Not Fun

"A collection of live recordings made between 1977 and 2000 by Amsterdams Studio For Electro-Instrumental Music (STEIM) director, Crackle Box inventor, and software/hardware designer MICHEL WAISVISZ. Edited by Sonig label head FRANK DOMMERT, the album is a very musical, humorous, and fresh approach on Waisviszs 1978 debut. Amid morphing noise-strangely leaping reggae quotations, modulation sessions seemingly forgotten in time and space, and hard, metallic stacattos of chords-outlines of songs and flashes of harmony are always discernable. Nine tracks of playfully absurd and consistently innovative sounds." - Sonig.

This impeccable LP is bolstered by the equally inspired EPs and singles that surrounded it, Talk About the Past, Of The Matter and Something That No One Else Can Bring have long been difficult finds for an aspiring record collection, until now.

Artist: WAKHEVITCH, IGOR Title: Docteur Faust Format: LP Label: Fauni Gena Country: Spain Price: $32.00 |
|
"Housed in a fantastic and menacing sci-fi cover courtesy of Druillet and
bearing the famous dedication: "A mes grands amis Robert Wyatt et Mick
Rattledge", Wakhevitchs second album was a step beyond its predecessor
into a music alchemy that defies categorisation and the one that started to
define his trademark sonic collage of styles and moods. Like the previous
record, this was the music for a Norbert Schmucki ballet "Ergonia",
premiered at Festival DAvignon 1971, and featured top french players of the
era like Janick Top on bass. Oozing darkness and mistery, Wakhevitch
displays a wide array of mind-bending tricks that take the listener to a
wild and trippy ride into occult zones starting from the spoken word
passages and open drum break of "Aimantation" to the psyched-up delirium of
"Sang Poupree". Elsewhere delirious acid passages, hypnotic bass riffing,
stoned funk beats, wild free-rock freak outs, avant-garde orchestral drama,
dubbed-out passages and Wakhevitch trade-mark collage and sound manipulation
make up to a really unique listening experience that submerges and puzzles
the unexpecting listener. A psychedelic kaleidoscope full of intense moods,
from stoned to thrilling drama, from medidative and mystical ritual trance
to way out tape and synth manipulation that in spite of all contrast, holds
together well - not unlike the similar collaged, contrasting and now much
revered opus "LEnfant Assasin Des Mouches" by Jean Claude Vannier or some
of Fausts work. Originally released by Pathe Marconi in 1972, it has become
over the years Wakhevitchs hardest to find album and one thats been chased
also because of his striking cover-art, made by no-other than Jean-Pierre
Druillet, one of the top exponents of french 70s sci-fi comics school
together with the great Jean Henri Gaston (better known as Moebius) which
revolved around the seminal Metal Hurlant magazine. LP in gatefold cover +
insert. Limited to 500 copies. " - Fauni Gena.

Artist: WAKHEVITCH, IGOR Title: Hathor Format: LP Label: Fauni Gena Country: Spain Price: $32.00 |
| "Subtitled "Liturgie du souffle pour la résurrection des morts", this is probably Wakhevitchs most esoteric and occult-influenced work. Some sort of dark ritual for synthesizer and orchestra inspired by Kabbalistic writings where Igors trademark bottom heavy electronics pulse, wizz and sweep to a backdrop of heavy tribal drumming. Elsewhere, menacing and majestic spoken word passages open us the doors to the netherworld, leading you into an esoteric sound ritual that sounds spooky, virulent, powerful, droning, entrancing and mystical at the same time. Again Wakhevitch brings together disparate elements, bridging apparently unrelated musical forms and integrate them in order to deliver another unique work that sounds strangely prescient and recalling at the same time works from Mort Garson (Black Mass), Ruth White (Flowers Of Evil), Terry Riley (Surgery Persian Dervishes), Stockhausen (Stimmung), Tangerine Dream (Zeit) or early Klaus Schulze (Irrlicht). LP in gatefold cover + insert. Limited to 500 copies." - Fauni Gena. |

Artist: WAKHEVITCH, IGOR Title: Logos Format: LP Label: Fauni Gena Country: Spain Price: $32.00 |
| "Subtitled "Rituel Sonore pour Group Pop (Triangle), Choeur mixte et Bande Magnetique" and originally recorded as music from a N.Schmucki ballet premiered at Festival dAvignon 1970, this is the perfect introduction to Wakhevitch dark, powerful and often menacing sound world. An unlikely mixture of 20th century classical avant-garde, both orchestral and electronic and psychedelic rock courtesy of french psych-prog band Triangle. A strong piece which pairs epic choral parts with Wakhevitchs taped electronics and Triangles hypnotic jamming to form, in typical Wakevitch occult fashion, an ode to mans relationship with sound forces with the composer acting as a medium between the magical forces of sound and listener. The text inside the wonderul red gatefold cover holds some keys to the composers universe, mentions to early 20th russian mystic / thinker Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff and also Kabbalistic and Alchemistic traditions are coupled by Wakhevitchs vision of a cosmic art for the 20th century, aligning himself to similar efforts by William Sheller and Guy Skornik. No surprise since this record sits comfortably next to other period pieces like Shellers "Lux Aeterna", Skorniks "Popera Cosmic", Jason Havelocks "Pop Symphony" or even vangelis Papathanassious "Fais Que Ton Reve Soit Plus Longue Que La Nuit". Typical french post-mai 69 orchestral avant-pop vibes galore !!!! LP in gatefold cover + insert. Limited to 500 copies. Often regarded as one of the unsung geniuses of 20th century, Wakhevitchs music has puzzled and surprised listeners and critics alike since it first came out in the early 70s. His six albums, released between 1970 and 1979 contain some of the darkest and more powerful music ever commited to vinyl and have been revered and praised by inquisitive souls everywhere: from progressive rock fans and avant-garde lovers to, in more recent times, noise kids, beat diggers and modern-day bloggers alike. His is music that defies categorisation as it draws and takes elements for many disparate styles: from psych rock to 20th century classical avantgarde. Throw in some weird cut-up techniques, a penchant for sound / space manipulation and real way-out electronics and you get some of the elements that appear in this composers cookbook. No wonder his name turns up on the famed NWW list, as Steve Stapleton sometimes travels similar music mind-roads as the visionary frenchman. Born in 1948 in a small town near Cannes, son of famed russian scenographer and painter Georges Wakhevitch, Igor grew up in an artistic environment and recalls being both exposed to the russian diaspora that settled in France after the October Revolution and the artistic circle to which his father belonged who included such names as Jean Cocteau or Herbert Von Karajan. Attracted to music since very early, he studied and devoted countless hours to become a piano concertist. As teen years arrived, young Igor decided to take his own road and become a composer - he went thru all the academic degrees, becoming pupil of one of the greatest composers of the century: Olivier Messiaen. Because of his family connections, young Wakhevitch soon found himself scoring music for theather and ballet - this allowed him to present a highly personal music that often dealt with mystical and praenatural subjects (no wonder taking into account he had been in contact since an early age with traditions such as jewish Kabbala, Alchemy and Christian Orthodox mysticism). Most, if not all of his recorded output, comes from this association with the stage world - specially with american dancer and choreographer Carolyn Carson (who did work with a number of underground luminaries from the european experimental and free scenes). A chance meeting (but not on a dissecting table) in the parisian offices of Mr. Filipacchi (head of Atlantic/WEA) led to Wakhevitch being the choosen musician to score Etre Dieu - Salvador Dalis unique and unstageable opera (as it stars, amongst others, Marilyn Monroe as a stripper, Brigitte Bardot as an artichoque and Dali himself as "The Divine Dali") in which the genius from Cadaques rants about life, death and general nonsense over Wakhevitchs ever changing sonic tapestries. Fascinated with India since a child, he started travelling to this country in the early 70s finally settling down there later that decade in Shri Aurobindos and Mirra Alfassas Auroville and travelling regularly to Europe promoting indian classical artists with his company. In the meantime, his old records have become collectable items that command high prices in the second hand market. The reissue of his six albums on a now long-unavailable cd boxset entitled "Donc..." further fuelled interest in his music so this reissue program should fill the gap in all those collections needing Wakhevitchs music. Released it as it should be enjoyed, in proper glorious analog sound. Directly licensed from Igor Wakhevicth himself, this reissues come approved and supervised by the composer who has always taken great care on how his music is presented to the people. This should open the doors to a future release of a series of unreleased works that certainly deserve to see the light." - Fauni Gena. |

Artist: WARLUS Title: Songs Format: LP Label: Guerssen Country: Spain Price: $28.00 |
| "Released as a private edition of only 200 copies in 1977 on the Joint label (but recorded two years earlier, in 1975), Warlus Songs could be regarded as the king of all French 70s obscure private pressings. Warlus was the brainchild of young musician Richard Maubert, who created a mini-masterpiece of twisted, melancholic, fuzzed-out psychedelic-pop, with a charming homemade sound/production and druggy atmosphere. Sung in English, it also brings to mind other obscure USA private pressings like Kath. This is a very special record that will appeal to both psych aficionados and fans of 70s DIY weirdness. If you like other French private pressings like Dandelion and Les Temps Heureux, youll be amazed when you hear Warlus. The reissue includes liner notes and pictures. Carefully remastered from a clean original copy (master tapes were lost in time), and done under permission of Richard Maubert." -Guerssen. |

Artist: WARM CLIMATE Title: Glass Singer Format: LP Label: Monofonus Press Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "WARM CLiMATE blew us away with a trio of tapes released on the wonderful Stunned label between 2009 and 2011, so we couldnt have been more excited when given the chance to release their latest LP, Glass Singer, their first to be given the vinyl treatment. Glass Singer sees the band further explore a more straightforward rock approach, but remains as volatile and genre transcending as ever. Led by SETH KASSELMAN and featuring CAITLIN MITCHEL (METAL ROUGE) and M. GEDDES GENGRAS, Warm Climate fluidly swerves though thick drones, frightening whispers, BeeGees harmonies, up tempo rockers and free horns as a beautifully arcing album is formed. Glass Singer is a focused work, despite its many audible influences, and Warm Climate is a band made for the long play format, so dont expect an 18-sec clip to explain the entire journey." - Monofonus Press. |

Artist: WARMER MILKS Title: Let Your Friends In Format: CD Label: Release The Bats Country: Sweden Price: $15.00 |
| "The current line up of Warmer Milks is probably not what it was yesterday or what it is today. Hell, there is talk of it changing up for next month. Blame this on schizophrenia or an urge to not run in circles but its how things have always been for the loose group. Founder Michael Turner started Warmer Milks in 2003 and has refused to go backwards regardless of outside (or in house) opinions since its inception. Warmer Milks have toured by themselves throughout the United States as well with the likes of Six Organs of Admittance, Bonnie Prince Billy, Arbouretum, Howlin Rain and others The band did an extensive tour throughout Europe winter of 2007 and will be back on said continent Summer 2008. Let Your Friends In is another chapter in the more brash, aggressive side of Warmer Milks catalog. Leaning more towards skate punk and black metal, the group touched on intensities left behind from nerd critically acclaimed Radish On Light (Troubleman Unlimited 2006) but with a more street rock cum vomitorium feel. The flipside to the first track is a spook gang romper, drumless yet still punching the walls with a force no other rock can manage. The "Let Your Friends In" sessions went down in Shelbyville, Kentuckee at Rove Studios home to engineer Paul Oldham (Speed To Roam, Bonnie Prince Billy Band, ex-Broadcast Choir and Royal Trux) where various members present during the "Soft Walks" sessions (coming March 2008, Animal Disguise) took time to record this scorcher. Featuring usual WM attendees Michael Turner and Greg Backus the two lengthy cuts on "Let Your Friends In" also boasts the addition of Shawn David McMillen (Austin, TX solo artist, Iron Kite member and former member of Ash Castles) on guitar and Paul O. on dead wah guitar. Where the group has flirted with heavy rock in the past, it is easy to say that group now owns heavy rock." -Release the Bats |

Artist: WARMER MILKS Title: Soft Walks Format: CD Label: Animal Disguise Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "The second proper full-length in the expansive and elusive discography of Warmer Milks, Soft Walks is a unique blend of southern rock, improv and modern confusion. Features Michael Turner, Shawn David McMillen, Greg Backus and Travis Shelton (Cadaver In Drag), Paul Oldham (Bonnie Billy Band, Baby Dee Band, Speed To Roam) and Amber Kinglsey. Subject matter includes what grows, what dies, and where we fit in between. Michael Turner has been making music under the guise of Warmer Milks since 2003 and while he tries to bury the name year after year, queer circumstances always bring it back. The group has numerous tours in the States under their belt as well as one European trip to date. Warmer Milks plan on hitting the road this summer on the Midwest and East Coast in support of Soft Walks. We are very excited to welcome Warmer Milks into the ADR family. With this release being their first of 4 albums scheduled to be released in 2008, they will now truly emerge from the ghetto of the cassette/CD-R underworld and finally attract the attention they deserve." -Animal Disguise |

Artist: WARMTH Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Arbor Country: US Price: $14.00 |
| "Even though Warmth main man Steev Thompson still appears to be incommunicado totally epic recordings continue to surface. Before Roxanne Jean Police was officially over and Steev still lived in Chicago, he joined up with another then Chicago resident Branden Diven of Quilts/American Grizzly Records. The jams that were created filled a couple of cdrs and the Warmth side of the split with Quintana Roo on Not Not Fun. This LP consists of a remixed and edited version of the original cdr running at just under 45 minutes. Forgotten smog floats through a Northside basement. Sounds emanate but their source is totally unrecognizable. Quiet growing tonal blobs erupt into washes of aural color. A complete union of samplers, synths, vocals, guitar, organs, percussion, and electronics merge to create the sounds contained within; a loss of individual existence. Completely serene. In an edition of 300 LPs on creamy yellow vinyl with hand stamped labels in pro-printed and screened fold over sleeves with art by Roy Tatum and an insert by Steev." - Arbor. |

Artist: WARNING SIGN Title: Live at Copymax Jasons Birthday Format: One-sided LP Label: American Tapes Country: USA Price: $13.00 |

"All right...this is going to take a while to explain... Hang in there with a mug: While still in union at the cove, me and the Conn Artist would always hit up the local Office Max (re: Copymax) and scam copies, grip supplies - usual underground lurker shit. So after months of doing this, a Max worker finally talks to us and is into noize= dudes is Jason, sayz all his coworkers are freaked out of me and Connelly cause we copy weird shit, wore shorts and look like Heroin addicts (????)... So we hit it off with Jason, hang with his crew and let the good times roll... Enter PE PAUL, AKA Mr. Nutzo AKA New Pledgmaster AKA dude most likely to get naked at a crew gig with no ladies present. You might also know him as the wacko who was kicked outta the last No Fun during the Smegma set for being shirtless, on acid, and crazy. When Paul was getting escorted out, Weise turns to Dilloway and says, "Man...what a loose nut... causing a ruckus... you know him?" "Yeah I do, Hes Paul from Boston. Me and Olson have a band with him called Warning Sign." So fast forward a month or so, middle of summer/ Ann Arbor= crazy. PE PAUL sublets a huge crib christens it the GSPOT. Turns out to the be the summer spot for all gigs underground and nutz. A gig twice a week, ruling times, massive final show literally hours before Paul has to vacate. Rumors spread of destroying the spot and burning it down... comes pretty close. Turns out when the renters come back to reclaim the house Paul is passed out on mounds of broken glass and bottles on a some Iggy trip shit and the parents threaten his life... ruff scene. Warning Sign -- which never end up being with Dilloway -- becomes a house band at the GSpot....duo with reeds, drums, and ?????? Every gig was pretty strange, you never knew what PE PAUL was gunna do. The mug apparently studied music in Boston but no one has seen proof of it. So aanyhow... black to Copymax Jason... his birthday is coming up and his lady at the time Alicia (re: Alicia Warning) wants to have a birthday show at they house before their lease runs out. The only band that signs up is Warning Sign. No Wolves come cause we are leaving the next morning for Barcelona, no crew members show up. Weird gig/scene. Only lurkers and some weird dudes on BMX bikes that "kinda know Dilloway AKA that weird dude at Disks & Tapes" are around. Turns out there is no place to jam... except a basement that hasnt been opened "in forever." Me and Paul crack the door, peer inside, nothing but low ceilings, cobwebs, dampness, and a mound of something that died a slow horrible death months ago. Totally gross. So we set up and its the middle of summer and like 110 Degrees in the basement. Fully Nasty. Turns out Alicia is a flute goddess and wants to jam along/sweet... so we start playing... and within minutes every Nutzo in the basement is playing a horn, jammin, freaking out, yelling... weird shit/brain jolting/numbing gig. Woke up the next morning and sent the tape to the plant. Pressed here on wax for eternity is the results of the gig. Super strange ultra crude echo chamber basement jazz cubism. Edition of 113 on black wax with paste on covers. Copymax Jason Postscript: After moving out, Jason and Alicia broke up, all them + "Copymax Chris" (re: Brian, who never worked at Officemax or Copymax) who also played on the above WS record, and nearly everyone on the record moved into the short lived "Pleasuredome" in Ypsi that did two gigs, one with Corsano, Traum, Laundry Room Squelchers/both busted hard by Copz and shut down permanately...." -American Tapes

Artist: WATERMANN, JOHN Title: Calcutta Gas Chamber Format: Picture Disc LP Label: Die Stadt Country: Germany Price: $33.00 |
| "Re-release of the long out-of-print album by the late John Watermann. The idea for this project came about after a visit to Calcutta in 1990, and through the nightmarish experiences during that short visit. The concept of aurally conveying the horror of a gas chamber was realized through field recordings in an abandoned electrical power station in Brisbane in 1992. The sounds are grating and harsh, a mixture of field recordings and electronic manipulations. One can rarely pinpoint a location or action but the images the sounds conjure up are of all sorts of nefarious activities related to death by machinery. The sleeve notes take you into the horror that is the Calcutta Gas Chamber. John Watermann started the re-design for this re-issue (originally released in 1993 on U.S. label ND), but tragically passed away in 2002 before its realization. A beautifully composed and produced album, completely remastered and featuring new artwork. This special picture LP is limited to numbered 444 copies. A CD version of Calcutta Gas Chamber was released by Cold Spring in late 2006." - Die Stadt. |

"In the mid 1960s vocalist/pianist Patty Waters released a pair of groundbreaking recordings Patty Waters Sings and College Tour for the legendary avant garde/jazz label ESP-DISK. Sadly, since that time, very few recordings have been released by Patty, although she still performs. You Thrill Me is a collection of all previously unreleased recordings spanning a nearly 20 year time period, capturing this unique jazz vocalist at the peak of her powers. Theres several Patty original compositions as well as her own spin on various jazz standards. Among the highlights is a 1964 three song session produced by Tom Wilson (known for his work with Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground).

| "If a tape should ever be described using the word "submerged" it is this one. Watersports is the Brooklyn duo of Russ Waterhouse and Lea Cho, who in the same configuration also make up Blues Control. The A side begins with "submerged" bubble sounds mastered from the inside of an aquarium. The serene scene ebbs and flows until shimmering keyboards pierce the murk like sun into the blimey deep. On the B side the duo is joined by Aaron Rosenblum of Son Of Earth/Sapat. This track is keyboard heavy from the start with what seems like all three of the players weaving sounds through each others keyboarding. A glorious and shimmering overtone blurs reality. Howling flutes act as sea creatures in crisis. If you put the shell up to your ear and concentrate you can hear Rosenblum totally shredding. In an edition of 100 numbered tapes in oversized double sided collaged tape cases." - Arbor. |

Artist: WATERY LOVE Title: Die With Dignity/Leave Me Alone Format: 7" Label: Siltbreeze Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "Another two shots of bilious commentary courtesy of Philadelphias best band at the moment. The A-side is penned by RICHARD CHARLES; a litany of condescending, sneering lyrics behind the roar of what sounds like the gear shaft of a Kensington garbage truck being stripped out and blazing a path of fire down Girard Ave. You know, the kind of good timey tunage you can only light up somewhere between Mecht Mensh & Iron Cross. The flip is an interpretation of a song written by Louis Allan Reed. But WATERY LOVEs cover eschews all manner of hip, uptown vibrato found on the original, preferring to accessorize their stud w/the leather & switchblade swagger needed in a sketchy, downtown milieu. You know, the kind of controlled lunacy you can only sniff out somewhere between John Cale & Chain Gang. Thick black vinyl pressing housed in a sweet high gloss sleeve. One time edition of 330." - Siltbreeze. |

Artist: WATKINS & BROOKS POSTON, PAUL Title: Young Girl Format: One-sided 7" Label: Helter Skelter Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "Breathtaking, innocently sinful folk obscurity from Paul Watkins & Brooks Poston of the Manson clan, developed in their wholly insular community of impulse, drugs, violence and marked creativity. Young Girl reveals a softer, affecting beauty, the antithesis of their well-known exploits at the fringes of sadism and hatred: a spontaneous convergence of raw, self-taught instrumentation and the stupefyingly gorgeous voice of these outcastes. Fallen down a rabbit hole beyond their own comprehension, their song elaborates the fable of a similarly embattled youth, assaulted by the harsh landscape of adulthood and her struggle to retain the purity of childhood, free from the insanity of maturity and civilization. A search for key answers of adolescence and a simultaneous refutation of the intellect, Young Girl reminds us that even in the depths of darkness, ignorance and despair, the most beautiful specimens of creation and transcendence can flourish." -Helter Skelter |

These four works grew out of intense dialogue with sound artist Morgan Craft that dealt with our mutual interests in questioning the stakes and pushing our art amidst a landscape of sameness. Its these spaces where ideas on race, gender, sex, politics, etc. inform the imaginations of artists in communities and influence new works. Also around this time, I found a dusty tape recording of a lecture from the late 70s on the topic of Black Spirituals given by scholar and musician Bernice Reagon, an original member of the vocal group Sweet Honey On The Rock. This tape has helped me incorporate into my performance, stories and voices of New America. These improvised tapestries are tuned by ear and offered as meditations. What does Black Spirituals mean to you?" --Zachary James Watkins, Santa Cruz, CA, March 24, 2010.

Artist: WATSON, CHRIS Title: Cima Verde Format: CD Label: Fondazione Edmund Mach Country: Italy Price: $17.00 |

"The UKs Chris Watson is the worlds leading wildlife sound recordist. He was a founding member of Cabaret Voltaire and The Hafler Trio, and a sound archivist for the UKs Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He has since joined a film and video production company, working on BBC wildlife documentaries and occasional feature films. Following a period of residence at Monte Bondone in the Italian Alps and Paneveggio Park forest preserve, Chris Watson was invited to explore the acoustic phenomena of Trentino, Italy to capture the atmospheres and sounds of the alpine environment. A series of sound recordings made in situ, resulting in the CD Cima Verde, present the soundscapes uncovered by Watson, which capture the change in seasons from winter to spring, the different degrees of altitude, the reawakening of sounds on the cusp between night and day and the alternating and mixing of audio signals that characterize different natural habitats. Dosso DAbramo, Cornetto and Cima Verde are the three peaks of Monte Bondone. There is air in motion; ice crystals, water vapor and changing pressure mix and merge into an annual dance across a deep blue sky. This is sound into light. Down alpine slopes, across high pastures and into the forests, a frozen mountain of sound thaws out from a mono bloc and into an ordered seven-stage descent through 3000m of unique acoustic habitats. Jumbled chords are snatched from passing ravens, blackgrouse performances, tawny owl signals, and the clear silver song of the nightingale. Shapes and music, rhythm and sound, a series of ritual performances for animal ears."- Fondazione Edmund Mach

A radio program was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010, produced by Sarah Blunt, and described as "a thrilling acoustic journey across the heart of Mexico from Pacific to Atlantic coast using archive recordings to recreate a rail passenger service which no longer exists." Its now more than a decade since FNM operated its last continuous passenger service across country. Chris Watson spent a month on board the train with some of the last passengers to travel this route. As sound recordist, he was part of the film crew working on a program in the BBC TV series Great Railways Journeys.

Featuring 22 close-up recordings of animals, birds and insect life, Outside the Circle of Fire enlarges our awareness of the sound universe, intimate with voices from the past. There is an intensity here that television pictures cannot conjure. These are the sounds of secret languages, particular events that have been recorded as close up as possible to try and reveal something of their individual beauty, rhythm, eloquence and sheer power. Several of the sounds would be inaudible or radically degraded more than a few meters from the animal. Yet others collectively use the acoustics of their habitat to modulate the message. They exist, however, whether we hear them or not -- close up details of signals that are beyond our reach outside the circle of fire." - Touch |

The 12 recordings on Stepping into the Dark contrast a windswept forest in Glen Cannich with the gathering conversations of rooks roosting in a churchyard in Northumberland. Other atmospheres include the heat and wall of sound found on the River Mara in Kenya, fishing bats on a mangrove pool in Venezuela, the ritual dance of snipe at dusk in the Northern Hebrides... a hydrophone at 5m. depth in the Moray Firth captures the signature whistles and clicks of bottlenose dolphins." - Touch |

This is Chriss first foray into composition using his location recordings of wildlife and habitats -- previously he has been concerned with describing and revealing the special atmosphere of a place by site specific, untreated location recordings. For the first time here he constructs collages of sounds, which evolve from a series of recordings made at the specific locations over varying periods of time."- Touch |

"A psychedelic holy grail re-issued. This is It -- originally cut in 1962, is regarded by many of the whos who of psych fanatics as the first aural document of psychedelia. It is a plundering, blistering, free form freakout of totally unselfconscious group sonic exploration. Whats more: its a great, great album that stands the test of time. Legendary Zen guru Alan Watts led a cadre of musicians and non-musicians alike through communal chant, primitive choogle and raw American tribalism that features many of the same Bay Area Heads that appeared earlier on Locusts Electronic Kabuki Mambo -- the inimitable satirist and collage whiz Henry Jacobs, genius percussionist William Loughborough (early performer with Chet Baker/Harry Partch) among many others. This is where the so-called Weird America begins and if you dont find yourself with that rare facial twitch of awe, befuddlement and unbridled glee, then surely you need your head checked." - Locust

In the early 70s, a community activist, Mike Joseph, discovered a group of children in Watts playing music using junk and scrap metal as instruments. He brought them into a studio in Los Angeles and produced a record in 1971 in cooperation with the Watts Writers Workshop and other community groups. Scrap oil drums, iron bars, metal cans & other urban castoffs are played with enthusiasm, backing R&B favorites and a childrens song. But it was more than a mere document of childs play -- this peerlessly unique musical expression sends a strong message." - EM. |

"During his lifetime, Alan Watts (1915-1973) became, and remains, one of the most beloved interpreters of Eastern thought. For more than forty years, Alan Watts introduced the Western world to the full range of eastern philosophies and arts all filtered through his buoyant personality and charm. His life and work reflect an astonishing adventure. There remain few treats as wonderful and lively as this, one of three records originally put out on the Sausalito based MEA label. Haiku and its companion release, Zen and Senryu, hold the truly unique position of documenting a poetic form (Haiku) or philosophy (Zen) and Satire (Senryu) through both lecture and stunning performance. Both discs feature the instantaneous Japanese translations by Sumire Hasegawa Jacobs to the spare musical accompaniment of Vince Delgado, Robert Garfias and Henry Jacobs. This brilliant tension between Alan Watts self assured delivery and Sumires urgent cries, makes both Haiku and Zen and Senryu two of the most essential documents for admirerers of Watts rich personality, eastern thought, and the heavy ways of 1960s counterculture." - Locust

Artist: WAY OF THE CROSS Title: Mind Of The Dolphin Format: LP Label: Phoenix Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "In the Spring of 2007, a tour commenced from Latvia to Holland called Way Of The Cross: On The Path Of The Ninefold Muse, titled from Robert Graves book, The White Goddess. The tour spanned Polish clubs, Dutch radio, Berlin galleries, and the Latvian beach; Mind of the Dolphin documents the music spawned at these stops. WOTC members include Dave Nuss (NNCK), Stellar OM Source, The Skaters, Jan Anderzen (Kemialliset Ystävät), Kuupuu, Mik Quantius (Embryo), and Tiitus Petajaniemi and Jari Koho (Uton, Keijo). The White Goddess is far more than a long-discredited pagan deity. She is still alive, and her worship takes many strange forms both inside and outside the conventions of Western morality. In particular, she continues as the Ninefold Muse, patroness of the white magic of poetry." - Phoenix Records |

Artist: WAYGOOD, OTIS Title: Ten Light Claps And A Scream Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $46.00 |
| "South Africa, 1971. It was the worst of times in Johannesburg white suburbs. The Beatles were banned on state radio. Haircut regulations were merciless. Life was an unutterable hell of boredom and conformity, but lo: salvation awaited. They came from the north in the summer of 69, armed with axes and scarabs, long hair streaming behind them, and proceeded to slay the youth of the nation with an arsenal of murderous rock tunes. They were the biggest thing our small world had ever seen, our Led Zeppelin, our Black Sabbath, maybe even our Rolling Stones. They were Otis Waygood. After two albums released on EMI S.A. the album Ten Light Claps And A Scream was simply the best Otis Waygood record and among collectors the most sought after. The music is influenced by the British underground for sure. Bloodwin Pig, Steamhammer, IF are working in the same field. Great guitars and vocals, blues influenced underground rock, sax, organs and well crafted composition and arrangements making this album a unique masterpiece. Julian Laxton of Freedoms Children was the producer. Rob Zipper- vocals, guitars, saxophones; Ivor Rubenstein- vocals, percussion; Leigh Sagar- guitars, organ, Hawaiian guitar; Benny Miller- guitars; Alan Zipper- bass. 600 numbered LPs, glossy heavy sleeve, 180 gram pressing." -Shadoks |

Artist: WAZOO Title: Wazoo Format: CD Label: World In Sound Country: Germany Price: $19.00 |
| "This group from the Detroit area is probably the weirdest experimental psych outfits from 1970. Originally the band was hired by Zig Zag Records to record cover tunes and easy listening, with the intention, Were just doing whatever we want, the result was an overdosed rock concept album... to give the music back to the people. Original copies are rare and pretty unknown among psych collectors until now! The 7 songs with an average length of 7 minutes combine different styles of music, from heavy garage rock to bluesy West Coast, drifting into various tripped-out, funk, jazz elements with humorous/social comments. Structure, feeling and complexity can be compared to experimental Krautrock, while the groups basic sound is represented better by end-60s U.S. hippie rock as Country Joe & The Fish, Grateful Dead or The Head Shop with its excessive fuzz guitar work, Farfisa organ, amazing vocals by Clevelands Bocky and several additional instruments, sax, harpsichord, cello, percussion, bells. Studio work is pretty tricky, lots of unexpected mixing and experiments, with flashes of UKs legendary White Noise. This CD issue contains a 12 p. color booklet with a bands bio, and the cool original album design, made by John Williams who also worked for Zappa -- so it can be assumed which influences Zappa used for his 1972, Grand Wazoo album?!? Wazoo presents at the highest level of musicianship free & atmospheric rock -- a unique kind of musical renaissance! -- Discover it, its a unique piece of early 70s psychedelia." - World In Sound. |

Artist: WE GOT POWER! Title: Hardcore Punk Scenes From 1980s Southern California Format: Book Label: Bazillion Points Country: USA Price: $30.00 |
 "Featuring essays by David Markey, Jordan Schwartz, Jennifer Schwartz, Henry Rollins, Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski, Dez Cadena, Louiche Mayorga, Cameron Jamie, Pat Fear, Steve Humann, Tony Adolescent, Jack Brewer, Jula Bell, Mike Watt, Sean Wheeler, Joe Carducci, Daniel “Shredder” Weizmann, and Janet Housden. Presenting nearly 400 first-generation L.A. hardcore punk photographs Including complete color reprints of We Got Power fanzine 1981–1983 and beyond.
As teenagers in 1981, David Markey and his best friend Jordan Schwartz founded We Got Power, a fanzine dedicated to the first-generation hardcore punk music community in their native Los Angeles. Their text and cameras captured the early punk spirit of Black Flag, the Minutemen, Social Distortion, Red Cross/Redd Kross, Suicidal Tendencies, the Descendents, White Flag, the Last, the Gun Club, Saccharine Trust and many others at the height of their precocious punk powers.
In the process, the duo’s amazing photographs also captured the dilapidated suburbs, abandoned storefronts, and dereliction of the early Reagan era—a rubble-strewn social apocalypse that demanded a youth uprising! Never before seen except in crude fanzine form, these detailed and richly narrative photos are now collected to present an intimate portrayal of a uniquely fertile creative moment." - Bazillion Points

Artist: WE LOVE YOU/DUCK THAT! Title: Split Format: LP Label: Feeding Tube Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Western Mass (via Feeding Tube Records) gives a big old hearty handshake to the Boston "reductionalist" jazz scene (read: very quiet, detail oriented, non-traditional stylings) with this great ensemble record featuring two exciting bands. We Love You (represented here by Dave Gross on sax and Polly Hanson on percussion) makes spitting into your axe and scrapping on your skins both fun and palatable. Duck That! is made up of Angela Sawyer (Weirdo Records, Preggy Peggy, Exusamwa, etc...) on duck calls and two ace hornsmen - Josh Jefferson and Steve Norton. Their side of the disc is a wonderfully textured excursion into the limits of acoustic sound. There you have it, youd swear you were in a loft somewhere in Chinatown." - Feeding Tube. |

| Trio from Sheffield, England of slide guitar/vocals, upright bass & drums. Cover art by Billy Childish. Liner notes by Mick Farren of the Deviants. Press: "Bee-stung guitar, vocals dug up in some gravel pit, Chicken Legs Weaver create some of the most feverishly destroyed RnB in recent memory.." - Byron Coley, Arthur Magzine. "The Debut Album Nowhere [produced by Johnny Dowd] has a timeless, stateless feel -- equally rendolent of dingy northern cities and the plains of middle America .. essentially, this is international blues of the very highest calibre.." - Joe Cushley, Blues Matters magazine / Ballin the Jack on Resonance FM 104.4. "Clearly the best band the UK has produced in a while.." - Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth. "Hard times, lost loves, missed connections and dangerous visions, common to all, concealed from none, but each murderously twisted to the tenor of the times. Too true to be any easy, diamond-ring tall-shucking tale - and too good to be ignored by those who know the shouts and moans - the howling of the mighty Wolf and the graveling of the exalted Captain -- and all the rest who have moved, red-eyed, in from the special places where the brain and the heart and the hand strike the ever-particular smokestack-sparks -- and the words that make strong men weep, women wail, and policeman turn in their badges. Cheap gin will make you blind, but the clear truth will never fail you. The blues will set you free....Chicken Legs Weaver play the blues -- and plays it right, right? Not a bad one in the barrel. So help me, Hannah." - Mick Farren. |

Artist: WEBB, TK Title: TK Webb Format: LP Label: Mexican Summer Country: USA Price: $22.00 |

Webb trades in the power moves of his last album Ancestor for the sad-eyed folk foundations that propped them up, bringing back the power of the rock trio and transposing it into a more personal, confessional offering. Honest music by a guy whos been killing it for years." - Mexican Summer. |

Artist: WEEKEND Title: Sports Format: Double 12" Label: Slumberland Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Within a grainy film-still between a summer sunset and the end of times lies the post-punk squall of WEEKEND. The band filters the aggression, tempo and sneer of punk through a wall of reverb, haunting melody, feedback and primitive garage guitar. Formed in San Francisco in late 2009, theyve quickly developed a totally distinctive take on the history of noise rock. Combining noisy guitars, pounding rhythms and dark post-punk vibes in fresh ways isnt easy, but Weekend somehow does it effortlessly. Sports is one of the most assured debuts in recent memory, full of rumbling rhythms, layers of loud guitar and most of all great songs that pay special attention to texture and atmosphere while leavening even the most riotous moments with unexpected shards of melody. Spread across four sides of vinyl cut at 45 RPM (and of course CD), Sports is an authoritative statement of intent from a sharp new band, and surely one of the best albums of 2010. Previous release was a limited 10-inch single on Mexican Summer. Vinyl includes a download." -Slumberland |

"Repressed. Long deleted in the elaborate box set version with its unique Tarot cards, here is the regular priced double CD version of this Krautrock all-time classic. Originally issued on the OHR subsidiary label Kosmiche in 1973. Wegmuller was a gypsy painter who had designed a 78 card Tarot set; the music, spread out over 2 CDs is performed by what is essentially the first version of the Cosmic Jokers: Manuel Gottsching, Hartmut Enke, Harald Grosskopf, Jurgen Dollase, Jerry Berkers & Walter Westrupp. Produced by Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser & Gille, with guest appearance by Dieter Dirks and Rosi. The music is classic space-out Krautrock (ala early Ash Ra or C. Jokers), with 22 tracks dedicated in concept to the Major Arcana cards in the Tarot set. "Tarot is a major German electronic music piece composed and directed by Walter Wegmüller and played by the Cosmic Jokers. In the past it was available in a limited boxset coming with the Tarot game designed by Walter Wegmüller. As it is sold out since over 3 years, it was time to re release it as a double CD with the original 16 pages leaflet." -Spalax

"First in a series of LP-only releases documenting the early work of Ralf Wehowsky. In Search of C.R. was originally released as a cassette in 1980 by the Wahrnehmungen label (renamed Selektion in 1982). The late 70s and early 80s produced a lot of fascinating music, inspired by the free space opened up by punk. There was a lot of movement toward exploring non-rock forms (improvisation, electronic composition, etc.) This is a fine example of the type of experimentation going on at the time and an interesting look at the early musical development of RLW, who, unlike most of his contemporaries, continues his experimentation to this day." - Swill Radio.

Artist: WEHOWSKY, RALF & BRUCE RUSSELL Title: Sights Format: CD Label: Corpus Hermeticum Country: New Zealand Price: $17.00 |
|
"Take two collaborators, one a German sound artist noted for his painstaking micro-engineered computer compositions, the other a New Zealand noise terrorist with a reputation for making albums over his morning tea breaks. Put them in a basement studio in Karlsruhe for three days in February 2003, feed them on coffee and apple juice and let them out to walk in the woods once a day. What do you get? Sights, a dramatic collision of two very different but complementary approaches to the same problem -- what is this sound?.
This is a postcard from Bruce Russells 2003 European holiday, consisting of three duo improvisations, one recorded after the fact by mail collaboration, and two recorded live in Ralfs studio. Russell and Wehowsky take turns in the studio playing guitar and manipulating a range of tone generating electronics, while the mail collaboration includes clavioline and teaspoons. The recordings have then been subjected to Ralf Wehowskys characteristically careful mixing, where stereo placement and subtle tweaking of the recorded sounds grants a bewitching crystalline sheen to every click and whine. Its the combination of instantaneous composition and carefully-planned post-production that imparts the mystery to this particular session. At once quite unlike Wehowskys recent work, yet imbued with the same ethos of care and judicious consideration which marks all his productions, Sights if anything represents a return to the more carefree jamming practiced by the earliest post-punk incarnations of his first band, PD. In this we see some influence from the slap-dash New Zealander, but whereas the average Russell production has an unmistakeable air of accident about the fact that anything wound up on tape at all, in this case the beautifully-managed production does perfect justice to the audible excitement captured at the point of creation.
Theres a measured care to the way these sounds have been put together, but theres no slavish adherence to any tenets regarding how the results should sound. This is too rocking to be reductionist, too chance-driven to be minimalist, and too noisy to be lumped with any temporarily fashionable schools of micro-improvisation. What you get is the meeting of two well-made-up minds, which have spent upwards of two decades each deciding what the business of sound is all about, and then a long weekend putting the resulting experience into practice." - Corpus Hermeticum.

W.M. is a master at twirling frecuencies, making endless psychedelic loops out of foggy synthesizer grooves. Just like walking into a smokey cave and finding out youre over the edge to outer space. My songs in this one are mostly generated thru internal feedback and lots of oscillator fuzz, strong classic industrial reminiscences it ends up getting kind of weird. Even vocals in one of the songs in a sort of paranoid-creep-teenager kind of way. It never really gets too harsh. Covers are two inks silk-screened on black cardboard with a little paper insert." -Ozozokids |

Artist: WEISMAN, KURT Title: More Is More Format: 7" Label: Mad Monk Country: USA Price: $6.00 |
| "We were crazy about the music of Kurt Weisman from the first second we heard it. You can Google at least two or three examples of us publicly gushing over ⿿Past The Moon, one of Kurts songs played with his band Feathers. Its probably our single favorite song of last year. Needless to say we are overjoyed to release Kurts debut on vinyl, following an excellent self-released CD-R. Possessed with the rare talent of writing tunes that are at once whimsical and strangely ominous, Kurts music is reverential without being anachronistic. His solo work is even more far-reaching, adding electronic elements without sacrificing the charisma and charm inherent to the songs. While somewhat poppier than his work with Feathers, dont worry - Kurts solo vinyl debut is just as possessed with the spirits of Canterbury. Fans of Les Maledictus Sounds cut up / collage work, (not to mention their affinity for speeding up vocals) will be delighted, as will those who cant understand why the Beach Boys didnt make ⿿Vegetables a sidelong jam. Elsewhere, Kurt conjures Comus as remixed by Otto Von Schirach. He also writes some of the most compelling melodies weve heard in a long time ⿿ timeless, beautiful ones. Remember the feeling you got when you were a kid and you first saw that last scene in Over The Edge, where they play Valerie Carters version of ⿿Ooh Child as the kids head off to juvie? Kurts single gives you that kinda feeling. Your life totally needs this." - Mad Monk. |

Artist: WELTTRAUMFORSCHER Title: Herzschlag Erde/Verdunkelt Die Sinne Format: LP Label: Planam Country: Italy Price: $33.00 |
| "Right on time for its 30th anniversary, Herzschlag Erde, cassette debut album of Die Welttraumforscher, is being re-released in a collaborative effort between the labels Planam and A Tree In A Field. The new, limited vinyl edition includes a large-format, 20-page booklet as well as the previously unreleased follow-up album, Verdunkelt die Sinne. Die Welttraumforscher is one of Switzerlands most enigmatic musical projects, with a catalog that not only spans more than 30 albums, but also films, stories and countless illustrations. These documents are the only proof that Die Welttraumforscher actually exists. Small creatures with big, gentle eyes, more reminiscent of friendly ghosts than of scientists (Forscher), are depicted with child-like innocence and painstaking attention to detail. Their universe also includes such characters as the Moon Pope, Kip Eulenmeister and Leguan Rätselmann. Together, they experience weird adventures with a touch of science fiction, metaphysics and dadaism. As Die Welttraumforscher themselves put it: We are working for the next world. No wonder that those of us stuck in the here-and-now are not always able to make sense of it. The man behind this phantom band is only mentioned in the small print: Lyrics, music and illustrations by Christian Pfluger for Die Welttraum-forscher. Not unlike musical kindred spirits The Residents, Pfluger remains in the shadows, creating a mystique. However, instead of concealing or disguising himself at shows, he just very rarely plays live at all. This veil of mystery, the borderline-esoteric mysticism, plus the fact that the lyrics are almost exclusively in German, might explain to some degree why Die Welttraumforscher have always led a niche existence. Among musicians, however, they have already gained cult status. Mouse on Mars, Neoangin, and Harald Sack Ziegler are just a few known admirers. Together with other musicians, they released a remix LP on Felix Kubins Gagarin label in 1999. Other well-known aficionados are Dieter Meier (Yello) and German astronaut Hans-Joachim Roloff. Herzschlag Erde sets a musical and artistic course that has remained largely unchanged in the following 30 years. New, affordable technology such as the 4-track-cassette home studio made it possible to record music alone and with simple equipment; We work with what we have, not with what wed like to have. Technological constraints are compensated by an unbounded imagination, yet the final result remains playful and intriguing. The opening track, Traum der Welt (i.e. Dream of the World), is also a manifesto of sorts: ...they are [...] coming to us. Die Welttraumforscher, music from the far end of our thoughts, Neither-Nor sounds, and dance ambushes. Edition limited to 350 copies including a large (20 page) booklet with sinister photos, surreal drawings and lyrics in German and English." -Planam |

Artist: WENT, JOHANNA Title: Club Years Format: CD/DVD Label: Soleilmoon Country: USA Price: $17.50 |
|
"Johanna Went is a pioneering performance artist who began performing as part of a street theater troupe that traveled America and Europe in the 1970s. Following her years on the road, she settled in L.A. in the late 70s and began transforming her street theater performances into what would become her signature style. Using found props and hand-sewn costumes, she developed a wild stage act that included live musical backing from legendary performers such as Zev and KK Barret of the Screamers. The DVDs main attraction is its 80 minutes of live performance footage shot on video tape at clubs and galleries in the Los Angeles area from 1977 through 1987. The eight performances range from an early and very raw solo performance by Johanna Went at a small storefront club to a pair of performances video taped by Academy Award-winning avant garde film director Shirley Clarke. The recordings on the bonus CD reveal a wacky sense of New Wave insanity that reminds us of the Residents if they were a punk band backing Ornette Coleman. It collects for the first time all of Johanna Wents studio recordings written and produced by Johanna and her musical collaborator Mark Wheaton. This includes the complete Hyena LP, first released on Poshboy Records and now remixed and remastered, as well as the songs from their first 45 rpm single originally released on Boyd Rices Graybeat label." -Soleilmoon.

Artist: WEST COAST NATURAL GAS Title: Twos A Pair Format: CD Label: RD Country: Switzerland Price: $22.00 |

"An album full of vintage 1966-1968 music by the band that brought you the incredible Hashish on the legendary San Francisco Sampler Fifth Pipe Dream. First ever release of this killer Westcoast psychedelic monster that took many years to complete!!! West Coast Natural Gas started in 1965 in Seattle. In early 1967 they went to San Francisco to work for a local music manager named Matthew Katz. Katz was the original manager for Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and later also Its a Beautiful Day. He talked West Coast Natural Gas into signing a contract with him but being young and stupid, they didnt realize at the time that they had basically signed everything over to him. They went into the studio and recorded some original tunes: A Favor, Go Run and Play, The Jumping Frog, Hashish, Water or Wine, Beyond This Place, and Twos A Pair. In early 1968 the band broke up and went back to Seattle. Katz released a single -- Go Run and Play / A Favor on his S.F. Sound label under the name West Coast Natural Gas. Later he released a compilation album -- the first San Francisco Sound sampler -- called Fifth Pipe Dream. The four songs mentioned before, Water or Wine, Hashish, Beyond This Place and Twos A Pair were the ones recorded by WCNG and relabeled by Katz as Indian Puddin and Pipe. This superb release includes all the above mentioned songs, plus others from acetates. As a big surprise we found another four never before heard songs. All recorded 1966 in a local Seattle Recording Studio before they even went to San Francisco, all of which are included in this great release. A pinnacle of the West Coast psychedelic acid scene." - RD.

Artist: WESTERN STANDARDS Title: Unraveling Designs Format: LP Label: Western Standards Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| “Whereas most other music squabbles for your attention whilst it plays, Unravelling Designs is content to remain in your subconscious mind, gently seducing you in an unhurried manner. The steady swelling of opener Recognition is a welcoming crescendo of highly atmospheric textures, seguing perfectly into the bubbling Down From The Sea, which is certainly one of the most carefully conceived and expertly executed numbers of the growing Western Standards repertoire. The monumental title track is the natural centre-piece of the album, like a single ebbing tide of hypnotic magnificence, replete with layers of gradually developing sound-effects and awash with droning ambience. As the song builds to a wonderfully understated climax, the hidden majesty is gradually revealed during an enormously satisfying conclusion. The insistent pulsing of The Needle is a pleasing contrast to the positively ghostly harmonics which sweep in and out of the mix before settling back to a simple, undulating loop. The following Terrain demonstrates some of the harshest textures present on Unravelling Designs, a veritable orchestra of horn like interjections, boldly metered above a fog of hazy distortion. Comparatively, the beautiful closing number Smokewalk is a borderline triumphant series of near musical harmonics which jangle and chime to an appropriately beatific finish. One of the more refined albums of the year but also one of the most rewarding.” - Tommy Dski, pocketjury.net. |

Artist: WET HAIR Title: Dream Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: UK Price: $17.00 |
| "When Iowa City freak-out free-rockers Raccoo-oo-oon called it quits last year it left a bummer scar in the Midwest underground scene. But time is a great healer, and so are new bands. So out of the ashes of the RAC pack comes Wet Hair, a synth-punk-trance duo composed of keyboardist/vocalizer Shawn Reed and keyboardist/drummer Ryan Garbes, and Dream is the bands debut vinyl full-length after a series of increasingly shredding limited-edition cassettes on their own Night People label. Piling together an unlikely trash heap of Suicide-style drum machine beat-bops, zone-droned Krautrock keys, and fucked up outsider crooning, the LPs four tracks careen across a spectrum of moods and mangled melodies. Recorded at Flat Black Studios by Luke Tweedy and mastered by Pete Swanson, Wet Hairs cult electric annihilation has never gleamed with such razor-edged weirdness; this is their dream made real. Black vinyl LPs in jackets with artwork by Reed and Garbes, plus a pro-printed full-color 11x11 insert." -Not Not Fun |

Artist: WET HAIR Title: Dream Format: CD Label: Release The Bats Country: Sweden Price: $15.00 |
| "Wet Hair is Shawn Reed and Ryan Garbes from the now defunct Raccoo-oo-oon. It started out as a soloproject of Shawn but after a while Ryan joined in as well. After several tapes and a 12", the duo is now unleashing Dream, their first fullength album. Four long tracks of analog synth atmosphere and industrial trance punk. Sure some Raccoo-oo-oon echoes can be heard if putting an ear close to the speaker, but Wet Hair is in many ways different. Melodic, upbeat, focused, dark, warm, cold, catchy, and confusing at the same time. Hints of everything from Suicide and Public Image Ltd to Spacemen 3 shines through. Dream has a strong nostalgic feel, fragments from the past is passing by and at the same time we get a strange glimpse of the future... Glowing stuff." -Release The Bats |

Artist: WET HAIR Title: Glass Fountain Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "Welcome back. One of NNFs total favorite active bands return with a second full-length (most of which was recorded during the same sessions that birthed their debut LP, Dream) and we are pleased as spiked fruit punch. The Reed/Garbes duo mainly sticks to their guns, mining the same post-Suicide art-trance vein they perfected on Dream, but with Glass Fountain theres an added emphasis on the disembodied, oscillator pop mode that Wet Hair often toy with. Fountains five tracks include some of the bands simplest but catchiest songs (Crucifix In The Waves, When The Right Time Comes, etc), mesmerizing organ melodies over plink-plonky vintage drum machines with weirdo soulful singing and outer space electronics, like an outsider-punk Silver Apples or something. Hard to say exactly what universe Wet Hair are operating in and thats probably part of why we love it so much. A killer record that gets better each spin. In jackets with art drawn and designed by the band, plus a pro-printed 11x11 insert." - Not Not Fun. On opaque lavender-colored vinyl. |

| "Wet Hair have been living on the road and in the studio for the last few years and have made something special out of little more than synths, drums, flesh, blood, organs and ideas. Theyve traveled the world supporting the astral concepts of their music, which has henceforth had a subterranean visibility. In Vogue Spirit is their third LP and it is surely the one wherein all elements have gelled : the hazy, shifting experimental semi-thrust, the psychedelic production (notice we didnt use the word dub) and the effortless melodic flow contribute to the vibe that makes this sound infinitely more fresh than the forms explored therein. There is no seismic shift. Worlds dont collide. Silver apples dont grow on the moon. The contributions Wet Hair makes nudge a strange and subtle augmentation on the template, and thats all Im content with asking of pop music." - De Stijl. |

Spill into Atmosphere is the freshest whitecap in the crashing-upward wave known as Wet Hair, the Midwestern duo-cum-trio thats been holding it down for years as a multi-stop repeat-shop-n-hop psych-pop pin-drop right there in the dead center of everything and/or nothing, Iowa City. The Wet Hair discography having spired itself to a respectable vantage - shared releases with such powers as Rene Hell, Naked on the Vague and Peaking Lights, both via frontmensch Shawn Reeds Night People imprint and others - Spill into Atmosphere becomes the bands second full-length with De Stijl. There is motion here, oh yeah - circling swirls of lighter-than-air energy, born aloft on propellers of foam yet anchored to earth with thunder-clap rhythms and Reeds heady bellow.

Both bands have a slew of releases on a host of good labels but this might be the best offering from both yet. The release feels cohesive despite being a split long player with the similarities in aesthetic ideas and sounds of the two groups being taken into consideration. Despite both bands recently taking on new members beyond there duo origins both stick to the duo lineup for this release. Wet Hair is at there most composed taking on more pop sensibilities then prior recordings, focusing on the melodies both vocally and musically but retaining the psychedelic pulse of older material. Naked on the Vague follow with the focus on melody but draw things out as well into instrumental addition and subtraction, letting the effected variety of sound sources battle it out only to decay together in the end." - Night People. |

| "The debut album from WETDOG. "Wetdog will not be seen in some bar in Dalston pretending to like Italo Disco. Sarah will be at home, crying and listening to Morrissey. Rivka farms a tortoise and chickens in the Kent countryside. Billy lives in Arsenal and likes lego. Together, they form a triad of female energy vibes not seen since Wilson Phillips. The band have an affinity with Welsh genius, counting Datblygu and Euros Childs amongst their influences (there are hints of pastoral climes in the melodies), but The Wicker Man, Jeremy Kyle, Syd Barrett and Robert Crumb are just as likely to feature in any album-related discussions. Rivka Gillieron (guitar, vox), Sarah Datblygu (drums, vox) and Billy Easter (bass, vox) agree on one thing - hard and sparse music contrasting with vocal harmonies. Astringent, atonal guitars, off-key harmonies, squealed screechy vocals, a style of playing that could at best be described as optimistic... really, it needs no qualification. Anti-rock. Anti-stadium. Anti-commercial. Anti-glamour." Twenty-two tracks pressed on moss-colored green vinyl. UK import." -Angular |

Artist: WETDOG Title: Frauhaus! Format: LP Label: Captured Tracks Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "The UK-based band, composed of Billy Easter on bass, Sarah Datblygu on drums and Rivka Gillieron on vocals and guitar, excel in creating atmospheric, erratic sounds with a jaunty disregard for anything mundane . . . Wetdog count a variety of top notch influences on Frauhaus!, citing Micachu, Syd Barrett and Euros Childs, with legendary graphic novel illustrator Robert Crumb and 1979 cult British horror flick The Wicker Man also flagged, the latters flashing play between gentle pastoral and darker reveals most evident on the twittering bird song and thick, stop-start chords of Trees Fall. Though each of the albums fourteen songs has a disjointed style and rhythm of its own, they bob and weave into each other with a connecting sense of joyful weirdness, darkly irreverent rather than pretentious; menacing at times, but in a deliriously fun way. Fabulously uncompromising, its futile to attempt any generic labelling here; Wetdog delight in merging styles, setting keyboard and guitar melodies clashing gloriously against stubborn basslines, beginning songs in one manner only to change all the rules come the chorus. These helter-skelter tactics mean Frauhaus! has a kind of anarchic spontaneity to it, where the ground could shift at any moment. Its an exciting atmosphere that evokes the tumultuous ethos of The Slits, made even more potent by the darker, Halloween-style motifs of The Need, that cover the corners of their songs with spiderwebs and vampire fangs." - Captured Tracks. |

Hell To Play is a major leap forward in fidelity and songwriting from their 7". Anchored by Kariannes hypnotic voice and basslines and colored by Jesses raw guitar and Bobbys primitive drumming. Tracks were recorded alternately by Rob & Rod from Eat Skull with 1 track recorded by Kyle from Meth Teeth / Meercaz & 2 tracks recorded by the band. This LP brings to mind things like Neil Young, Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Dead Moon and Cheater Slicks filtered through contemporary ears/minds. Sequenced like a classic album with moody rock songs, melted psych garage tunes & strange, haunting heartbreakers. Play this over and over. You will be rewarded." - Meds. |

"Reish of heavy & fuzzed out Acid Archive proto metal jammer that will satisfy Heshers & Rockers alike. Word has always been this masterpiece is the work of a lone duder from Virginia yet cover has 4 bad asses spoiling for a rager. Sure sounds like a one man frenzy, but who knows for sure? Kenneth Higney gets some Schenker chops & becomes a fixture at Lamour where he functions as gangbang meat for Meanstreak. Yeah! How could you not be fucking stoked?" - Roach.
"This is stretching the limits of the Archives here -- its a 1980s and sounds much closer to the kind of post-punk hard rock that got college airplay in the late 80s than it does like anything else reviewed on this website. That said, its speedy not-quite-metal hard rock with a pulverizing distortion sound (to call it fuzz guitar is to understate it by a mile). One song is acoustic, but mostly this is just in-your-face blitzkrieg, and its really great." - Aaron Milenski, Acid Archives. "My eyes did a double take when I see this record perched in my mail trap (theys aint got no word here for box nears I can tell). Good lord I was happy, only cause Id been lookin for a copy since Robin Yount was a five figure Brewer. The writeup that Roach Records put togther kindve says it all, cept I aint got a damn clue whats Lamour is (or was) ors this Meanstreak theys reference. I guess Ill have to get to investigatinem! Wouldnt wanna miss out. Some nimble-toed piker once tried to tell me this was the same band as Mr. Ott & Jake Whip had but Id knowed that was a sack of shit n told him about it.He made a mess in his drawers what stunk up the bar to high heaven, but at least hes still around to deny it. The real word is the band aint but one feller & he hired them others on the front to look all tough. It sorta works. Takes me back to some dumbshits what tried to tangle w/yours truly in Parkersburg, WV in the early 80s. None ofem even seen the blade theys surrendered to, let alone feel it. Ah, youth, to be wasted so young. Feel free to quote me on that. So White Boy & The Average Rat Band.....hard to say exactly where theys (or he) was comin from but know this; when it wants to, this lp is as wild as a peach orchard hog. Theres also some screwy ballads goin on (Oriental Doctors, wow! Too bad Tommy Bolin aint around to here THAT one) + an outta nowhere acoustic number too. Locked into some current thats more metal than punk, it aint no joke, as funny as it may seem at times. In other words, Nig Heist it is not. Im hip to the Kenneth Higney reference too, and Michael Schenker. It woulda been cool if Kennyd aped Scorpions more than Cat Stevens, but he didnt & behold wes got both Attic Demonstration AND this here White Boy lp. Hows are any of us worse off for that? The best of both. Now if only that Higney lp would get rereleased...." - Roland Woodbe, Siltblog. Not related to White Boy on Doodley Squat. Highly recommended! |

Artist: WHITE CAR Title: No Better Format: 12" Label: Hippos In Tanks Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "In the rough and humble south side of Chicago, 22 year-old Elon Katz and his counterpart Orion Martin manufacture an industrial space funk sound that taps Ballard and Dionysus on the shoulder to remind them their time hasnt run dry in 2010. The music struts a particular brand of artifice with a panache swagger that always finds new potential in its birth citys past revelations- think the Wax Trax lexicon with touches of classic Chicago House. Katz serenades the tracks of No Better with 16-bit crushed vocals and the listener is accosted into a paranoid tale of contemporary reality: the minds capacity in relationship to the abundance of databanks, hunting as hobby, sexuality as commodity and the ever entangling web of online identity." - Hippos In Tanks. |

Artist: WHITE FENCE Title: Is Growing Faith Format: LP Label: Woodsist Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Those who expect TIM PRESLEYs WHITE FENCE project to be an extension of DARKER MY LOVE and STRANGE BOYS are in for a lysergic surprise. Sure, listen to Is Growing Faith, and youll hear the same 60s love thats in Presleys day-job band. But replace the boogie bass with The Velvet Underground and Nico guitars, ramp up the weirdness-youll start to feel all the brown acid in your brain melting into your pineal gland just in time for the bad trip lyrics to kick in. That and the laughter, and the reverb, and the echo, and the feeling that this is a nightmare Presleys welcoming you to enjoy. "Few albums in the recent past have had such a bleeding, in-the-red mystery. Is Growing Faith has a calm-before-the-storm feel, albeit a paisley one filled with hashish-laden clouds of wonder. Aside from a few well-placed punk drums and vintage guitar sustain that stretches as late as 1978, this could be the great lost Teenage Shutdown or Pebbles compilation, with fantastic, fanciful ballads and faded odes to lost friends all wrapped up in a stoned-ground aural husk rough enough to wear down ones teeth. The individual songs each tell their own story, sometimes in Kinks style, sometimes like a Voxx Records band from the 80s, and sometimes like a third-generation Dylan-buzzed teen who only recently learned two chords on the Farfisa." -Dan Collins, L.A.

"All time Japanese noise/psych classic rarity. Limited, numbered edition of 300 copies on 180 gram. Reissued with 1 bonus track. Cult guitarist Michio Kurihara and crew, created this awesome psychedelic cranium damaging noise masterpiece in Tokyo 1988. It was originally released as a 700 only LP release that sold out instantly thereby rendering it instant cult status with a scarcity value that beggars belief. This has to be the most sought after album of its genre and makes Les Rallizes Denudes look positively commonplace and as we all know, they are NOT!

Artist: WHITE OUT Title: Asphalt and Delay Format: LP Label: audioMER Country: Belgium Price: $25.00 |
| "2011 release. Whiteout is a weather condition in which visibility and contrast are severely reduced. The horizon disappears completely and there are no reference points at all, leaving one with a distorted orientation. These same characteristics could be applied to the sound of the musical brainchild of Lin Culbertson and Tom Surgal. In the past White Out have been heralded for the way they entirely reinvent themselves to accommodate the creative personalities of their many prestigious collaborators, including Thurston Moore, Nels Cline, Jim ORourke, William Winant, and many others. Recorded over an extended period of time in an undisclosed midtown Manhattan location high above the city streets, Asphalt and Delay marks the first time in White Outs recorded history that Culbertson and Surgal have devoted an entire album to duo improvisations. Each of the five compositions captures a different hue of the spectrum of sound in White Outs sonic universe. Asphalt and Delay puts White Out in a whole new light, unfettered by any external influences they burn super nova bright. The artwork for this LP is provided by Belgian photographer Yoko Tack." - audioMER. |

Beautifully ringing guitar tones of organic-metallic origin (sounding akin to some of the sweetest extrapolation of electric string activity since Sonic Youth took Bad Moon Rising on tour), occasional whispered vocals, bits of piano and taped-haze add together for the effect of ultimate dreamsearch ambiance. Simply, one of the most gorgeously resonating releases of the current millennium. Typically stunning Poon Village screen-printed, die-cut folio packaging wraps it all up." - FE. |

Ralph is a truly inspirational folk artist. His music could be described as "psychedelic", but only in the way that his voice cuts straight through your psyche into the very heart of your being, melting away all resistance. No, really, its that powerful. Whites voice soars mournfully over interlocking banjo and kalimba parts that are firmly rooted in traditional Americana, but belie the influences he garnered on his cross continental African bike trip." - Feeding Tube |

| "WHITE/LICHENS is the collaboration between MATT CLARK and JEREMY LEMOS heavy guitar drone group WHITE/LIGHT and ROBERT LOWEs LICHENS, who adds his voice, guitar and piano. While White/Lights name was inspired by the Velvets feedback-drenched "White Light/White Heat," they also claim as influences Earth 2, Fripp and Eno, and the guitar solo on the title track from Maggot Brain. The albums five tracks are named after demons from the Goetia, evoked and compelled into obedience by King Solomon, contained in a bronze vessel that was sealed with magic symbols. As a result, the music is alight with giant, pulsating fire storms of oceanic sound and shorter pieces that are the sonic equivalent to opening cans containing mechanical dreams. There is a magic to these sounds that surely goes back to that first electronic musician in Egypt over 2,000 years ago. The tools might be different but the spectacular results are the same." - Holy Mountain. |

| "Keith Fullerton Whitman bursts back with his first full length record in four years, Disingenuity b/w Disingenuousness, comprising of two pieces of forward thinking electronic music with a deep exploration into the analogue sound. Live and studio recordings of the past two years (Cambridge-New York-Toronto) were used as source material, which were then realized into two longform compositions. Using a Musique Concrète approach of deconstructed sounds (ala Pietro Grossi, Costin Miereanu, Basil Kirchin, Dub Taylor, etc), Disingenuity b/w Disingenuousness encompasses various reference points from François Bayle, Jacques Lejeune, Richard Pinhas & Heldon to the minimal textures of Basic Channel / Chain Reaction axis... Both tape-collage pieces which derived from an hour-long improvisation based around a setup involving a tape of chance field-recordings (a helicopter, walking on snow, children) bounced to a mono nagra tape machine, which is covered in contact mics that translate not just the sound coming from the speakers, but the actual mechanical interface of the unit into control voltage & triggers that drive a modular synth thats processing said audio using the classic electronic music toolkit (i.e. ring modulation, panning VCAs, filters, etc). The LP is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, in a limited edition of 500 copies, pressed on 140g 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 Bill Kouligas." - Pan. |

Artist: WHITMAN, KEITH FULLERTON Title: Generators Format: LP Label: Editions Mego Country: Austria Price: $21.00 |
| "Over the course of a year, Keith Fullerton Whitman performed a piece of live electronic music a few dozen times entitled "Generator." The debut was given in San Francisco at Root Stratas On Land festival at Cafe Du Nord on September 19th, 2009 -- over the months that followed, stagings took place in venues ranging from flooded basements to festival stages in Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Easthampton, Iowa City, Jamaica Plain, Northampton, Raleigh, Saint Louis, San Francisco, Somerville and Washington D.C. This LP covers the final two performances of the piece over two consecutive evenings; the opening solo set from the final night of the High Zero festival in Baltimore at the Theater Project, September 26th, 2010, then the performance during the "For Eliane" night of the Propensity Of Sound festival dedicated to Eliane Radigues work at Issue Project Room, Brooklyn, September 27th, 2010. These recordings show the piece in two different iterations, taking two different trajectories entirely. Theyre considered the definitive versions of the piece. Composed for, and realized with a scalable selection of digital and analog modular synthesis equipment, "Generator" was an attempt to wrest a viable performance-based music out of what had until then been a solitary set of sound-design tools. The piece grew out of a frustration with the limitlessness of computer-based real-time synthesis and algorithmic/generative systems vs. their utter failure as performance solutions. It hinges heavily on the ideology of the "Playthroughs" system (in that the subtle tuning inconsistencies of a physical instrument -- the electric guitar -- could be amplified and multiplied) through the use of multiple layerings of different topologies of oscillator, yielding an unstable array of modal canons that drift in and out of "tune," causing all manner of inter-voice beating and assorted psycho-acoustic effects." -Editions Mego |

Artist: WHITMAN, KEITH FULLERTON Title: Occlusions; Real-Time Music For Hybrid Digital-Analogue... Format: LP Label: Editions Mego Country: Austria Price: $21.00 |
| "Occlusion is a loose framework for a multi-channel, freely-improvised piece of live electronic music, performed without the aid or consent of pre-recorded or even pre-arranged materials of any kind. A given realization will last between 10 and 30 minutes; time is elastic. Every effort has been made to avoid divisible rhythms (although mistakes are occasionally made). Still, I consider it a kind of dance music. These two realizations, recorded a week apart at festivals in France and The Netherlands during February 2012, capture the piece (much like those on the Generators LP) in two entirely different iterations, in states of (A) a mildly inebriated bliss & (B) an arbitrarily triggered blind rage. Both recordings were made at 24-bit, 96khz through the absolute cheapest means available to the consumer to do so. They sound fantastic. Occlusions is a companion piece to Generators in that they share the same tool-set; however, it is the free jazz yang to Generators minimalist yin. It is not recommended to those seeking meter, melody, cleanliness, or a clearly-outlined organizational sense." -Editions Mego. |

Artist: WICKED AWESOMES Title: Punk Holograms Format: LP Label: Psychic Handshake Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "When Punk Holograms started off with a modern twist on old Ultravox, I settled myself in for another sound-a-like rip-off of old New Wave. Not that Time Shit & Crystal Snot is a bad song; just that I am really tired of hearing the same crap rehashed by a generation who were barely in diapers-if they were even born-and gobbled up by goobs heralding said sounds as something new, when it is really just SOS badly recorded. Sooooo... I was pleasantly surprised when the WICKED AWESOMES jangled into some primo Leaving Trains cum Celibate Rifles p. rock. Any New Wave moments that followed were paisleyed-out enough to keep me happy. Tight songwriting + loose playing, propelled along by cool guitar runs and keyboard accents. I bet these guys are a killer live band."-S.S. (Z-Gun). |

 "No, not the first incarnation of Kiss, just three wasted kids from Cleveland, Ohio, infatuated with the new wave of British heavy metal. Kick-started in Cleveland in 1979, girls, drugs, sports, and jock rivalry fueled Wicked Lesters aggressive fuck the draft sound. Minted at Boddie in 1981, Wicked Lesters lone single paired Here Comes My Girlfriend with the lovesick, late-Pink Floyd moves of Say Your Prayers, recorded on the same ominous day that John Hinckley Jr. shot President Ronald Reagan. Weve added two unreleased tracks, thrown all four sides into a beautiful gatefold 7" sleeve, and added a couple thousand words about their near-meaningless existence." - Numero Group.

Artist: WICKHAM-SMITH, SIMON Title: A Seventh Persimmon Format: CDR Label: Tape Drift Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "Words are tough when it comes to describing music this astoundingly beautiful. A leading figure in the worldwide experimental music community since the early 90s, Simon Wickham-Smith adds to his sizable body of work with this masterpiece. Three tracks clocking in at almost 60 minutes, Simon s new work is the result of years spent honing his craft. His influences are drawn from sources far and wide, but the music that results is uniquely his own. Transcending genre altogether but most clearly informed by minimalism, this release is hypnotic, mysterious, and gorgeous. If you ve followed the arc of his career, you ll be pleased to see how mature and powerfully focused his musical vision has become. If you re new to his world, it s an excellent introduction. To say that it s an honor for us to be releasing his music would be a massive understatement. A true classic." - Tape Drift |

Two epic tracks, the first a very skewed take on religious chant which retains a genuine and relevant reverence at the same time as it forges a whole new path through both laptop electronica and devotional music. The second is a huge track characterised by ripping great digitally distorted drones which seem intent on tearing through the bullshit (Maya?) to reveal a clearer world beyond... All recorded on a small island off the coast of Scotland..." - Psuedo Arcana. |

Artist: WICKHAM-SMITH, SIMON Title: Love & Lamentation Format: CD Label: Pogus Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "The Sandokai (The Harmony of Difference and Equality) is a prayer written by the eighth century Japanese Zen teacher Sekito Kisen. The basis for this piece was a tape given to Wickham-Smith by a nun of a recital at her monastery. He wanted to create of this sample a prayer without borders, a follow-up to an earlier work, Ave Regina Caelorum (2000, released on Extreme Bukake), in which he used the Latin plainsong of a prayer to the Virgin Mary in much the same way. The organ sample at the end is from a piece by Erik Satie, whose spirituality was equally strange and eclectic. All the samples have been stretched and pitch-shifted beyond (immediate) recognition; to the ears they have melded into something that seems at once both ethereal and solid. The Kin-kindness of Beforehand grew out of his Multiple Tongues project, a series of pieces in which Wickham-Smith exposed the spoken word in many different languages to a series of digital manipulations. The Kin-kindness of Beforehand is divided up into several distinct sections, each of which took on a particular persona during its creation. For the composer, this was the most complex of all the Multiple Tongues works, because he wanted to use specific strings of words and the quality of writer Rachel Beckers voice somehow to comment on each another. Love & Lamentation started life as a setting for voice and electronics of part of the biblical Book of Lamentation, but it quickly became clear to that the literal setting of words was not going to convey the melancholic intimacy that needed to be expressed. As a teenager Wickham-Smith had heard Alain Gheerbrants wonderful ethnomusicological recordings of a blind Turkish troubador and had fallen hopelessly in love with his voice and exquisite playing of the saz. About the same time, through his friend Richard Youngs, he had discovered also the ex tempore psalm singing of the Scottish Isle of Lewis. Fifteen years later, he decided that these two could be made somehow to work together to show the love and lamentation which he felt they both held in their deeper recesses, and which he wanted to present in this new piece. The result is a strange melée of feelings, repetitions and textures."-Pogus |

Artist: WICKHAM-SMITH, SIMON Title: Rapt Format: CD Label: Disposable Thumb Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "On his latest release, with beautiful hand-printed foldover jackets of his own design, Simon continues to explore his obsessions and fascinations with reverence, wry wit and a skillful ear. Aesthetically similar to 2002s dyrø (PseudoArcana), the CD is an exercise in "wonderment and rapture" via the friendly conduits of electronic drone, cut and paste minimalism and mischievous white noise. Oftentimes a confluence of contrasting disciplines and perspectives, the document is a rich work of intricate spells merging tension and release. Says Simon of Meiji13: "Its a very uncharacteristic foray into program music: the fuzz over the top is like a patina of age, like hearing Caruso singing I Pagliacci." - Disposable Thumb. |

Two 4 Dancin shows Wickham-Smith at his grandest, as his music explodes at the seams with wonderfully resonant contradictions with exquisite textures capable of blissfully enveloping daily life and driving ones neighbors batty. An infinite block-rocking beat melts into deep transparency, revealing a subterranean omniverse of Casiotone mantras, silicon chip psalms, and the mystical babbling of angels and derelict gutter drunks. Think Steve Reich, 50 Cent, and a Buddhist throat-singing Devo." - C/Psi/P. 2004 release. |

After recording and releasing nearly twenty albums between 1990 and 2001, RICHARD YOUNGS and SIMON WICKHAM-SMITH attempt an opposite approach to music making-an annual meeting to record a solitary ten-minute track. The resulting songs, each named for an intervening year, show the duo remarkably unaffected by the elapsed half-decade. Their signature mix of electronically treated percussion, ululating noise, and hand-on-the-knob tweaking continues to adapt "real human" instrumental expression to musique concrete sensibilities." - VHF. |

Artist: WIESE, JOHN Title: Circle Snare Format: CD Label: No Fun Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "Consider "Circle Snare" a hard-wrought souvenir. Composed and realized in the midst of a comprehensive Scandinavian/European tour in 2008, John Wiese found himself tangled deep in dialogue with his instruments and ideas. Wiese increasingly scrutinized his native tongue and vocabulary, seeking new forms of grammar and cadence, as only extensive dives in unfamiliar waters can inspire. His given electronic anatomy of drum machine, microphones, tapes, and MSP folded out of their hard accustomed formations, breaking out into a more cogent and vital arsenal. "Circle Snare" is the cumulative result -- a finely detailed and dimensional evolution of an already unique voice. Those who have been stalking Wiese all along -- through the landmark statement "Soft Punk," to the recent "Dramatic Accessories" LP -- will find "Circle Snare" to be a revelatory work. As Wiese continues to travel and work relentlessly and restlessly, we have no choice but to keep up; the circle is a spiral from the side, and the greatest trap is standing still." - No Fun |

Artist: WIESE, JOHN Title: Seven of Wands Format: CD Label: Pan Country: UK Price: $18.00 |
| "As a composer, John Wiese is an elusive one. Employing a very healthy range of conceptual framework throughout his oevure, hes unmistakably recognizable, but rarely easy to predict. No matter what the sound, we find it always sounds like Wiese. Seven Of Wands contains a romanticism only hinted at previously. Comprised of pieces from a range of eras and sequenced into a narrative arc, this very unique album has a quality of being beautiful, listenable, immersive, and transportive all at once. On this latest, we find more emphasis on beauty and musical qualities, employing strategies and techniques of musique concrete and electroacoustic music throughout, all the while further emphasizing the mixing desk as a true instrument. Two of the albums central pieces were developed while touring the U.S., UK and Europe with Liars, No Age, and (in quadraphonic) Matmos, and feature source material contributed by Angus Andrew (voice, field recording) and Julian Gross (percussion) of Liars. CD is a limited edition of 1,000 copies, packaged in a pro-press digisleeve jacket which is housed in a one-tone silk-screened PVC sleeve." -Pan |

"This is an album of private press original music by New Mexico male/female trio Michael Sullivan, Judy Wilcox, and Dennis Wilcox, from 1973. Folky psychedelic rock with lush male-female harmonies. Bright and brilliantly textured acoustic guitar work throughout. Rocks at times, goes into hillbilly country territory and honest folk at others, with an acid influence that is pervasive yet subtle. Serious collectors have been swooning over this album for years, and with good reason. This is pure magic. Flawlessly remastered from the original master tapes by the albums producer, Emitt Brooks. From Rate Your Music: "Heaped with praise in ACID ARCHIVES. They were totally right. A rare vanity/private press facemelter with NO covers!" -Goldust. "Heres an album thats so good that it just invalidated every top reissues of 2010 list you may have seen. ..a top 10 folk private for me." - Douglas Mcgowan, Yoga Records.

Artist: WILD GUNMEN Title: Cocain Spyders Format: CDR Label: Mad Monk Country: USA Price: $12.50 |
| "The second volume in this exciting series by this wastoid troupe from the buckeye state is even better than the first. While the highly popular Volume One introduced the band as the parole boards answer to the Cherry Blossoms, Volume Two: Cocain Spyders (the misspelling is the bands) finds the group more stoned, introspective and deliberate, with oscillators, delay drones, horns, and high pitched feedback squeals taking the place of more traditional instruments. Singer Kristy is, as ever, center stage, singing beautifully harrowing misfit tales of lonely strangers, train wrecks and dreams fading away. Volume Two also features what is perhaps, in our opinion, the quintessential Wild Gunmen track thus far - an untitled jam near the middle of the disc begins like any other paranormal WG track, until Kristy nonchalantly takes a break from singing to audibly converse with her captive party guests about sex and cocain(e), while Witt and Ron, undaunted, lock into a supremely fucked clarinet / guitar duet that sounds like a moonlight meeting between Rafael Toral and Little Howlin Wolf. When Kristy decides to begin singing again, the track only gets weirder, stretching out over several parts and nearly fifteen minutes like a lost ESP side or perhaps the music the guy who left the desperate answering machine message at the beginning of Charalambides Market Square might have made. As if all of this werent enough, Volume Two also includes the soon-to-be-punk-classic "(Ive Got A) Washboard (For A Stomach)." This is the second in what we hope will be a long running series of releases by Wild Gunmen on Mad Monk, but each one could be the last - word has it a few of the band members are dead set against these releases - so treasure and cherish every minute while it lasts!" - Mad Monk. |

Artist: WILD GUNMEN Title: End Ov The World Format: CDR Label: Mad Monk Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "Were pretty thrilled to offer up the third volume in this series of CDRs by Wild Gunmen. End Ov the World is our favorite of the bunch, because it offers the expected - chaotic wastoid jams, cacaphonous raging, and crude acoustic punk ditties - along with the entirely unexpected - essentially, the albums untitled 12 minute closer, which is by far the best thing the band has ever done. "12" is a monstrous piece of low bass tones, disembodied vocal samples, ominous cascading noise, spooky backward effects, and singer Kristys deadpan voice (sample lyric: "I hate being raped every day / every day that I live I am raped / Everybody rapes me every day / do you know what its like to be raped every day?"). Scary shit. This track is unlike anything else in the WG discography, sounding like a cross between Consumer Electronics Teenage Nuremberg and "Revolution 9" for a post-Mullholland Drive world. There are other highlights as well, like the Godz-style punk of "Up Your Ass" (featuring rare lead vocals by either Ron or Witt), and a nearly lucid cover of "Folsom Prison Blues," complete with train whistle sound effects. Elsewhere, banjos collide with saxophones, guitars feed back mercilessly against found audio, chaos reigns. If youre new to Wild Gunmen, this is the place to start." - Mad Monk |

Artist: WILD GUNMEN Title: Volume One Format: CDR Label: Mad Monk Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "I was introduced to the music of Wild Gunmen by Russ Waterhouse, who handed me a tape wrapped in silver foil and told me Id love it. He was right, and I immediately wrote to main Gunman Witt, just telling him how much I liked his band. He wrote me back immediately, promising "years" of more music, and telling me Id better get ready, because this was some serious shit. He explained that the band - a trio - were bad on the biz end because they were all saddled with being drug addicts and had also been dealt the unfortunate blow of all being born under the sign of Libra (???). He also told me that two of the members were former FM radio DJs on Cincinnatis WAIF. A few days later, a package arrived containing three unmarked 90 minute cassettes, and a handwritten letter. The letter featured color copies of a sexy drummer who, Witt explained, was dead now, and another photo of a very young girl who Witt claimed to have taken to see GG Allin. The letter, rife with more references to the copious amount of drugs the band takes, quotes from South Park, and casual boasting, was still not enough to prepare me for the amazingly twisted sounds contained on the tape. Eerie acoustic blues, with oscillator and other various noises, super confessional lyrics sung by what sounds like the demon spawn of Jandeks gal Nancy and Niagara, and the unmistakable sound of several fucked up adults getting together to rock out in a self-described drug infested nut house. This one is hard to explain, and frankly, Im at a loss - a very authentic psychedelic nightmare that may be a little too real people for its own good. Of all the amazing shit coming out of Cowtown lately (and there is a LOT!) this is some of the most fried by far. Some of it maybe sounds a little like Sam Esh? I dont know, man. Anyway, this is the first of what we hope will be many releases of Wild Gunmen material on Mad Monk. We are super excited to share this with the world! I asked Witt to send me cover art and song titles, and he told me to "just make them up, cause no one here can ever agree on them...our singer Kristy is a drug addict...half the time I just want to kill her. And surprise us and cook up your own design for a CD cover - title it anything you want." Okay, then! Only 150 copies, hurry!"- Mad Monk |

Artist: WILD NOTHING Title: Gemini Format: LP Label: Captured Tracks Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
"Wild Nothing, is the solo-project of Jack Tatum whose music is inspired by a longtime love affair with nostalgia. His debut full length album, Gemini, set to come out on Captured Tracks this spring, is full of dreamy, carefree synth-pop songs that linger with an inexplicable sense of regret.
Prior to embarking on this recent solo-project Tatum sang and played guitar with the Abe Vigodaish tropical punk band Facepaint and the singer/songwriter project Jack and The Whale. In the summer of 2009 The Virginia tech-college student decided to embark on his first creative-solo project playing bass, guitar, synthesizer and drums while recording in his home-studio. He soon emerged with a unique brand of dreamy pop-songs influenced by bands like, My Bloody Valentine, Shop Assistants, Go-Betweens and Cocteau Twins. In 2009 he delivered a memorable cover of the Kate Bush song Cloudbusting, making it clear that Wild Nothing transcended the lo-fi pop-mold. On his debut album, Gemini, Tatums frail vocals come warped in an oozing neon haze. Carefully orchestrated synth-pop arrangements, trebly guitar riffs and tattered drum machines blend together to create an intriguing,texturally rich glo-pop album that could come only from the young at heart.
Clear vinyl pressing." -Captured Tracks

"Reissue of this private press psych LP from the USA, originally issued in 1970. Heavy glossy gatefold sleeve, 450 numbered copies. "One of the best from the USA, legit reissue with insert, many photos, extensive liner notes, posters, from master tapes, a killer guitar album. I was searching for an original LP for many many years but never saw one. Even the band has no extra copies. California trio Wildfire came to Austin in 1969. They shared the stage with many performers such as Johnny Winter, Allman Brothers, Freddy King, Shivas Headband and many more. After laying down partial tracks at the Beach Boys recording studios (Wildfire guitarist Randy Love is Beach Boy Mike Loves cousin) the trio ended up at Sonobeat Studios to record this 8-track album. Sonobeat became famous for the recording of the first Johnny Winter album, Dark Shadow/Cold Sun and Mariani. This album is extra heavy psychedelic rock with dual vocals, great stereo effects, all original songs in Moby Grape/Blue Cheer direction. They use to be one of the loudest bands around on their custom build Quilter amps. For the first time officially released direct from copies of the master tapes." - Shadoks.

Artist: WILKINSON, ALAN/JOHN EDWARDS/STEVE NOBLE Title: Obliquity Format: LP Label: Bo Weavil Country: UK Price: $23.50 |
| "Obliquity is a free jazz record, if youll forgive the use of such a hoary, old fashioned phrase. Its scorching, heads-down momentum, rhythm and drive places it in direct line of descent from the fierce originators of the genre: Ayler, Sanders, Graves, Frank Wright. It also swings. At times it dances. Obliquity is a free jazz record through the prism of the improvisational movement in Europe, though. This is no attempt at polite revivalism or looking back/up to the 1960s. Wilkinson/Edwards/Noble are producing new, vital music of and for now. John Edwards pins down the trio with precision and energy -- his tremendous internal rhythm on display to full effect throughout. Alan Wilkinson is a ferocious improviser, probably best known for membership of the demon Hession/Wilkinson/Fell trio. Obliquity features full-spectrum Wilkinson: flatouttakenoprisoners saxophonication, squeals, coughs, sustained improvisational experimentation and east London tribal chanting. Steve Noble is an upright drummer with a surgeons accuracy, his crisp percussion work has accompanied dancers, funksters, poets and tuba players. But hes not played better than here: great power, allied to grace, a subtle touch and solid time -- the drumming drives the music on to real heights." -Bo Weavil. |

"This tiny sampling of my poetic oeuvre is a very mixed bag, as they say; so much so that Im inclined to call it a bag of tricks. To confuse matters, some of the poems were meant to be looked at rather than read aloud, and others were intended to be performed with sound effects and slide projections."" -Editions Rz. |

Artist: WILLIAMS, GARETH Title: Flaming Tunes Format: CD Label: Life And Living Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "When Gareth Williams died on Christmas Eve 2001 at the age of 48, the world lost a huge personality and a unique creative talent, yet little is known of his work outside of the legendary group This Heat. With this first official release on Compact Disc of Williamss solo and collaborative works from 1985, Life and Living Records take the first steps to correcting this imbalance. Flaming Tunes was recorded by Gareth Williams and Mary Currie with input from a variety of contributors including fellow This Heat member Charles Bullen, long term collaborators Martin Harrison, Rick Wilson, Mick Hobbs and others. After Gareth left This Heat in the early eighties he made the first of several trips to India, an experience which affected him deeply on personal and musical levels. On returning he began a collaboration with Mary Currie, building up songs from fragments and simple arrangements, using whatever instruments they had to hand and the resourceful aesthetic of pushing a cassette portastudio to its maximum. Originally released on cassette in 1985, Flaming Tunes has languished in relative obscurity over the years, although bootlegged in its entirety in the 1990s. There has been no official Compact Disc release until now. Flaming Tunes comes packaged in a bespoke 4 panel Digipak with a PaperFoam tray replacing the standard plastic holder for the CD. This part of the package was specifically researched and made in line with Williamss wishes for future editions of his work, to reduce or remove all plastic where possible. The cover features graphics derived from the original cassette insert and expands the edition with a newly designed sixteen panel concertina insert with images and photographs from throughout Gareths life, selected by Mary Currie. Each section accompanies Gareths handwritten lyrics for the songs." -Life And Living |

Artist: WILSON, GARY Title: Forgotten Lovers Format: LP Label: Feeding Tube Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "First vinyl issue of this collection of rare and unreleased material by one of the most iconoclastic musicians produced by the 1970s. Gary Wilsons 1977 LP, You Think You Really Know Me, is a classic of alternate-universe lounge-wave, and has been cited as choice by everyone from The Residents to Beck Hansen. Forgotten Lovers includes unreleased studio tracks from the same period, subsequent singles tracks, as well as samples of Wilsons pre-You Think You Really Know Me records (a single and an album) which were more in a porn-soundtrack/jazz-funk vein. Gary has reanimated his career in the last decade, and we raise our hats to him for doing so, but this early stuff is really the donkeys eyelids. A classic bizzaro-world blend of various "real people" elements and explosive new wave dynamics. As rich as butter, youll want to spread this music on your torso to promote tanning."- Feeding Tube. |

Artist: WILSON, GARY Title: Lisa Wants To Talk To You Format: LP Label: Feeding Tube Country: USA Price: $25.00 |
| "Vinyl actualization of a Gary Wilson album originally released on CD in 2008. The second of Feeding Tubes Wilson retrievals (following 2011s Forgotten Lovers, FTR 065LP), the label considers this the most solid of Garys post-revival albums. While it goes in a slightly different musical direction than the deranged porn-lounge inventions of You Think You Really Know Me (the classic 77 LP, heisted in toto by Beck during his Odelay phase), the naif-ache of the lyrics and the musics laid-back bowling-alley-funk-thrust reveal unending vistas of pure pleasure. Wilsons vision and performance approach are absolutely personal and shockingly naked. Like other true outsider artists (from the Shaggs to Daniel Johnston), its possible to sometimes wonder what the hell Gary is up to, but the raw sincerity of his yearning is never at doubt. As with all his best work, Lisa Wants to Talk to You is about women. How they walk, how they sound, how they smell, how they can break your goddamn heart. A fellow and/or a gal could learn a lot by dancing quietly alone in the dark to this record. Saved from the digital graveyard by your friends at Feeding Tube, its time to prepare yourself for another small miracle. So do it. Limited edition of 500, with a dazzling cover by Ted Lee. Includes mp3 download code." -Feeding Tube. |

Artist: WILSON, LARRY JON Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Drag City Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "In from the cold is Larry Jon Wilson, with his first album since 1980, an intense masterpiece of his casual performing style. Once upon a time in the 1970s, Larry Jon Wilson released four acclaimed albums and garnered a reputation as one of the best new outlaw country songwriters around alongside such hallowed names as Mickey Newbury, Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark. Starting his career late (learning guitar in 1970, at the age of 30) and leaving it early (ten years later), he walked away from the business, not the music. Signed to Monument Records by Fred Foster on the strength of a letter and a demo cassette, his legacy has been the four albums of deep country soul released between 1975 and 1979, but none of them came as close to the bone as this new, appropriately self-titled album. Larry Jon Wilson has been quietly playing shows on and off in the southern states over the last two decades - but it wasnt until some new friends twisted his arm with recording gear in tow on the 15th floor of a Perdido Key condominium that a new album became a reality. This album stands apart from his 70s recordings. On Larry Jon Wilson, he stands mostly alone, occasionally accompanied by a single fiddle. With the release of Larry Jon Wilson, the world is privy to the Larry Jon Wilson sound, clear and worn, deep and resonant." -Drag City |

Artist: WINER, LESLIE Title: Leslie Winer &c. Format: CD Label: The Wormhole Country: UK Price: $16.00 |
| "Leslie Winer &c. brings together tracks from the first two decades of Leslie Winers extensive yet little-known body of work. The earliest pieces, recorded in the late 80s, appeared on her debut solo album Witch (Transglobal/Rhythm King, 1993). First issued as a white label pressing in 1990 and featuring Jah Wobble, Karl Bonnie, and Helen Terry, the album earned Winer the distinction "grandmother of trip-hop." After the official release of Witch in 1993, Winer all but disappeared from public view, making only sporadic guest appearances on releases by such varied artists as John Hassell (1994), Bomb The Bass (1995), and Mekon (2000). While she has continued to record throughout the 90s and 00s, little of Winers work has surfaced, until now. Some of the material from the two albums she cut in the mid-1990s with Joe Galdo at South Beach Studios in Miami appeared in 2010 on The Tapeworms release & That Dead Horse. Other tracks from these projects and her collaborations with Vincent Gallo appear here for the first time. Throughout her career, Winer has worked with artists as divergent as Holger Hiller, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, and Dale Cornish and her songs have been recorded by Sinéad OConnor, Boy George, and Grace Jones. Her most recent collaboration with French musician and producer Christophe Van Huffel, Purity Supreme, resulted in a four-track vinyl EP Always Already, released by Ash International. Leslie Winer &c. is a product of The Wormhole. Housed in a 9"x6" PVC sleeve with poster." - The Wormhole. |

Artist: WINTER DRONES Title: Blood In The Coffin Format: CD Label: Weird Forest Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Leon Dufficy is primarily known as guitarist in the hippie-jam outfit, Hush Arbors, but now he steps into his own as the driving force behind Winter Drones. Sounding like the perfect combination of fuzzed-out ambient drift, shoegaze swirl and propulsive pop sensibilities, Winter Drones have slowly gained attention in their native U.K. with a handful of obscure CD-R/cassette releases and compilation appearances. Earlier this year, the bands debut album, Blood In The Coffin, came out as a limited-edition tape on U.K. micro-label Sexbeat Records. While legions of artists are mining the ambient style, Dufficy stands out because of his ability to develop his soundscapes, infusing them with a touch of melody to impart a sense of emotion. Songs like the lead-off track, Watch Your Eyes, set the mood perfectly while Bongs Dream shows Dufficys intuitive understanding that the perfectly weighted note/chord can add tremendous emotional resonance to an atmospheric piece. But Dufficy isnt some common nu-age denizen and the album really shines when the drums come in and the band rocks out. Winnie Coopers Bones and Two Long Weeks Part 2 find Dufficy perfectly capable of crafting memorable songs that stick with the listener. The albums centerpiece, Stiff Wizard, serves as a thesis statement for the entire album. Over ten minutes, the track starts with flanged/fuzzed guitars swishing about and sounding like jet engines on a runway. As the piece builds towards take-off, a simple radar-like melody begins pinging and the song takes flight when the drums and driving guitar chords launch in -- a perfect microcosm of the whole record." -Weird Forest |

Over the course of those 250 issues, The Wire has developed from a quarterly fanzine covering avant garde jazz and modern composition into an award-winning and widely influential international monthly, with a total average monthly circulation of just under 20,000, that covers a vast array of underground, experimental and alternative music and culture. The December issue of The Wire will carry a special 40 track double CD cover mount, The Wire Tapper 12, the latest volume in The Wires ongoing series of exclusive new music compilations. The CD will be mounted on the cover and given away free with every copy of the issue worldwide. Cover story: The 100 Greatest Riffs Of All Time. From the repetitive, bass driven trance music of North Africa (birthed thousands of years ago, appropriately, in Moroccos Rif Mountains), to the world famous symphonic themes of Beethoven, to the blues hook, jazz head and rock lick, the riff has been a primary tool for injecting music into the memory. As this is a Wire guide to the riff, and not another rock magazine regurgitation of rock n roll clichés, the article will be ignoring the obvious stuff like You Really Got Me, Whole Lotta Love, Smoke On The Water, My Sharona, etc, etc. Instead, it will expand the notion of what a riff is or could be, covering all sorts of nagging repetitive aspects of music, from Techno and HipHop breaks to themes in jazz, avant rock, memorable funk motifs, riffs in world music from Inuit songs to Fela Kuti, Krautrock, lower case and minimalist/systems music, etc, etc." Features: The new finnish underground (starring Avarus, the Anaksimandros, Kemialliset Ystavat, Es, Kiila, Paivansade, Hetero Skeleton, Maniacs Dream and more), Joanna Newso, irr. app. (ext.), Greg Davis, My Cat is an Alien, Invisible Jukebox: Marshall Allen. |

From the liner notes: "Wired - its the eleventh hour for all of us, were looking for the way in an infinite space, our means of communication is non-verbal, the sounds lead us to one another: communications, tensions, confrontations, agreements- everything is lived out in the sound itself. There is no past and no future, only Now, and so breathless, we face up to each new sound...Who are we ? ...Who am I? After the recording I drive with Michael Ranta to the Köln-Wahn airport. That evening he is in Oska. Form A central sound elevates into the axis of the work, a central note B, that perpetually blends ino the musical occurrences, actually pervading the whole piece as a dominant, producing proportions, articulating, climaxes, and pauses. The tonic-like resolution after two hours twenty minutes leads to the total collapse of the piece." |

 "Wired Up! catalogs for the first time, some of the best and most sought after junkshop glam, bubblegum and proto-punk European 45 sleeves from 1970-1976. The book attempts to document this highly influential but seldom discussed movement in rock n roll through both the vibrantly colored and outrageously designed record sleeves as well as first hand accounts with some of the groups that were there, such as Jesse Hector of the Hammersmith Gorilas, Gordon Nicol of Iron Virgin, and Alan Gordon of Hector. The research for this book has taken several years of digging through record bins and scouring online auction sites for these hard to find records as well as collaborating with several prominent European collectors such as Phil King, Bass player for the Jesus and Mary Chain and the driving force behind the groundbreaking "Glitterbest" compilation among others, and Robin Wills, guitarist of the UK powerpop band the Barracudas and author of the Purepop blog, one of the longest running music blogs dedicated to junkshop glam and obscure pop 45s.
Wired Up! is a truly labor of love, compiled and self published by Mary Blount and Jeremy Thompson, both avid record collectors and designers living in New York." -Wired Up.

Artist: WISHART, TREVOR Title: Fanfare & Contrapunctus/Imago Format: LP Label: Pan Country: Greece Price: $27.00 |
| "Vinyl issue of two very important works by this early British sound poet and electronic composer, compiling one of Trevor Wisharts first ever pieces Fanfare & Contrapunctus (from 1976) and one of his latest, Imago (from 2002), documenting a modern approach in composition and an extremely unique progress in sound manipulation and music technology. Fanfare & Contrapunctus (1976): These two short pieces were made at the newly opened electronic studio at the Sydney Conservatorium, before the advent of music computer technology. The source material derives from free improvisations by Trevor Wishart and Martin Mayes using soft trumpets, pop-guns, French Horn and virtuoso eating noises, plus recordings of birdsong and other environmental sources. Imago (2002) ...the universe in a grain of sand... Imago is a piece of magical sound metamorphosis in which the single clink of two whisky glasses gradually metamorphoses into a multitude of other sounds, eventually alluding to the sounds of birdsong, a junkyard gamelan, the ocean and the human voice, but never entirely abandoning its links to this minimal source. The piece was made using sound transformation software written by the composer, available through the Composers Desktop Project, and the original source sound was taken from Jonty Harrisons et ainsi de suite. The LP is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, in a limited edition of 500 copies, pressed on 140g 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 & Bill Kouligas." - Pan. |

| "an amazing aural journey recorded in 1972, and highly recommended (really his best work)." - Anomalous. from the liner notes: "A musical / allegorical journey, created on tape. A man wakes from a dream and sets off on a car journey. On his car radio, he tunes into the sounds of a space-rocket launch. The two journeys coalesce in his mind. Traveling on through many strange musical landscapes he arrives at a hall of doors. On passing through, the threads of his journey are drawn together. Made in the York University Studio, Journey into Space uses many improvised and composed musics for scaffolding pipes, steel combs, toy instruments, doors & the sounds of many other objects & situations, as well as conventional instruments, voices and electronics." Recorded in 1972. |

"York Universitys music department houses one of the UKs first ever electronic music studios, and during the early seventies it was a hotbed of creative activity. Much of the released output from the studio at this time revolved around the work of the dynamic composer Trevor Wishart. Journey Into Space was his first release, composed between 1970 and 72, and was privately pressed (shortly before the formation of YES records), as two separate LPs in 1973. (The CD cover amalgamates the 2 original designs). Along with other early private releases of experimental music in the UK (ie the LP of sound poems by Cobbing/Jandl, or the LP of musique concrète by Desmond Leslie), this record is also a total anomaly in the canon of British experimental music and has little to do with the current, or even subsequent work by Wishart. The vast length of this piece has many different styles. There are acoustic sections, mostly of junk and toys (bike bells, squeeze horns, bottles, metal tubes, combs etc.) as well as flute and brass sections that are used as raw material. There are also sections of everyday field recordings, scraps of NASA Apollo transmissions, as well as plenty of multitracking, editing, vocal acrobatics and musique concrète. Among the 48 participants credited on the original sleeve are a whole roster of York University alumni including nearly all the artists who were showcased on the soon to be released 3LP box set Electronic Music From York, along with other noteworthy students as diverse as Steve Beresford, Jonty Harrison, Roger Marsh, Dominic Muldowney, Bernard Rands and Jan Steele. The co-operative spirit of Yorks music and drama departments, plus the raw enthusiasm and open attitude of the participants involved in the project gave this music an immediacy, similar to the later LAFMS scene." - Paradigm

Artist: WITCH Title: Introduction Format: LP Label: Shadoks Country: Germany Price: $48.00 |
| "Numbered edition of 500, glossy heavy sleeve on 180 gram vinyl. "Another out-of-nowhere African 70s rock discovery in the Blo mold. Completely unknown band from Zambia, privately pressed on a small local label, this five-piece electric band plays a strong electric African underground style. Tons of wah wah-fuzz guitar in every track, African style beats and vocals and all original songs. After the successful release of the other Witch album Lazy Bones, here is Introduction. Crazy & wild fuzz guitars all over, African beats and chanting, as good as it gets. Incredible cool and stoned album from the southern African country. Again we need to say: if youre feeling depressed, low, disturbed, out-of-sorts, sad, frustrated or widely demented, then folks, we suggest you seek out a quiet place, indulge in some soothing meditation and cut away that headache by listening to this inspirational album." -Shadoks |

Artist: WITCH Title: Introduction Format: LP Label: Now-Again Country: USA Price: $23.00 |
| "Our comprehensive overview of Zambias premier garage-, psych-, prog-, funk-,Afro-rock ensemble Witch, We Intend To Cause Havoc!, is now sold out in its 6LP box set form. So we are making the first four Witch albums available in archival reissue form. As with our box set, the audio is nigh-perfect -- restored and remastered from the original master tapes. The entirety of Witchs first album, restored and remastered from master tapes, and presented as an archival reissue. Witchs musical arc is contained to a five year span and, in retrospect, is a logical one. The bands first two, self-produced albums - released in unison with the birth of the commercial Zambian recording industry -- are exuberant experiments in garage rock, and are as influenced by the Rolling Stones as they are James Brown. Thus Introduction, their first, is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in delving into the Witch band, or Zamrock in general." -Now-Again. |

 "The complete works of Zambias legendary garage-psych, prog-, funk-, Afro-rock ensemble. 1972-1977. Witchs five albums and a bonus album of 7" tracks never available on LP, restored and remastered from the original tapes. Presented as a 6LP box set: contains sixteen page booklet with never before seen photos and ephemera; extensive liner notes and annotation; an interview with bandleader Jagari Chanda. By the mid 1970s, the Southern African nation known as the Republic of Zambia had fallen on hard times: self-imposed, single party rule; a decline in prices for the countrys largest natural resource, copper; conflict in other countries on Zambias borders. This is the environment in which the Zamrock scene that flourished throughout that decade emerged... fuzz guitars were commonplace, driving rhythms as influenced by James Browns funk as Jimi Hendrixs rock predominated, musical themes were often bleak and bands largely sang in the countrys constitutional language, English. Although Witch is the best known Zamrock ensemble and although they succeeded in releasing five albums in Zamrocks golden years -- they never made an impact on the global scale in, say, the way afro-beat maestro Fela Kuti did. Travel to and within Zambia is expensive, and the markers for the Zamrock scene are now few. Only a small number of the original Zamrock godfathers survived the AIDS epidemic that decimated this country. Witchs musical arc is contained to a five year span: The bands first two, self-produced albums, released in unison with the birth of the commercial Zambian recording industry, are exuberant experiments in garage rock, and are as influenced by the Rolling Stones as they are James Brown; their third albun, Lazy Bones!! is the bands masterpiece, a dark, brooding psychedelic opus that makes equal use of wah-wah and fuzz guitars, that relies as heavily on the stomping feel of hard rock as it does the syncopation of funk; the bands last two albums, recorded after the band toured with Osibisa, make use of traditional Zambian rhythms and folk melodies and are the most afro-rockof Witchs oeuvre." - Now-Again.

Artist: WIZARD PRISON Title: Next Cycle Format: LP Label: Feeding Tube Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "Made up of Scott Colburn (producer/engineer for Sun City Girls, decade long member of Climax Golden Twins and audio wizard for Sublime Frequencies), John Vallier (an early member of CGT) and Ben McAlister (of the Degenerate Art Ensemble), Wizard Prisons music flirts with stoner metal riffery, cosmic electronics and field recordings, often at the same time. These Seattleites sound is in a state of constant "becoming". Each side long suite works as a seamless piece that goes along with a story told in haiku. Chiming or churning guitar/bass/drums give way, to pulsating synths and pitch-shifted foreign voices chanting to open an alternate dimension, perhaps. Never diverting from its mission or mood, "Next Cycle" is eminently listenable and is sure to warrant repeated spins on your turntable. To make a great record even better, weve added the exceptional talents of Baltimore comix hero Eamon Espey. His dark and humorous work, on the jacket and poster ties the whole album together." -Feeding Tube |

Nothing like Lightning Bolt, this is more a Tangerine soaked, dream pillow padded melodica that Kraftwerks its way into your main vein. Looking for reference points? Think Zombi, Yellow Magic Orchestra and John Carpenters Escape From NY soundtrack, .i.e smooth as butter creep scapes. Wizardzz has been accused of sporting a prog rock groove, so stuff this in your stockings you 06 version hacky sackers." -Load |

As their influences have cited, and the self-described trinity of Chrome, Crime and Creedence settles into place in your chemically-damaged skull, and the unexpectedly danceable hits from their string of vile, self-depreciating 7-inch singles are reborn with a devastatingly murky effect that will drag you down into a hole faster than any over-the-counter anti-anxiety cocktail youve ever ingested. Like Peter Murphy sucking on a tailpipe, Wizzard Sleeve are the end of the line for your happy good times and the start of a new atrocious standard in head-expanding, zooed-out and shut-in true punk weirdness that wont be getting many brownie points with mom, dad, church leaders, or parole officers anytime soon." -Horizontal Action. |

Artist: WOLF EYES Title: Burned Mind Format: LP Label: Wolf Eyes Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
|
"A rich tapestry of wires and pedals inextricably link Wolf Eyes Young, Dilloway and Olson, and their respective towers of homemade electronics, guitars, horns, gongs, etc. It all has fused into a single, monolithic machine-entity. Wires even slither up into their mouths for sonic purposes. It is an over-amplification of the humming spinal cord and the chatter of a billion cells sharing information. This machine-entity that Young, Dilloway and Olson have brought to life sprouts limbs and runs roughshod across America. This is the vinyl release of their new full-length CD for Sub Pop, Burned Mind. Wolf Eyes trademark boil-bursting thud has evolved into the roar of a lithe panther with rattling jackhammers for claws. Agility and quickness are now this beast?s most lethal attributes. Placed on the evolutionary charts, Burned Mind appears as the progeny of Throbbing Gristles Heathen Earth sound model. The complexity of muscularity and emotional range found in this Wolf Eyes release has rendered its apparent ancestry slow, clumsy and rather limited in comparison. Fuck, man, cite all the top-shelf noise and power electronics bands until you?re blue in the face Whitehouse, New Blockaders, Nurse with Wound, whatever.. but none possess the internal being of Wolf Eyes. The former were performance artists flirting with the dire circumstances of the human condition in the abstract. Wolf Eyes just ARE the dire circumstances of the modern human condition. Ever watch a movie about the future and the future is so oppressively grim, violent, foreign and insipid, that even a romance with nihilism seems way too quaint and inappropriate of a response? And then you realize we live in drastic fucking times, and Burned Mind is drastic fucking music." -Justin F. Farrar Burned Mind was recorded from October 2003 through June 2004 primarily by the band themselves. Bill Skibbe and Jessica Ruffins recorded parts at Key Club in Benton Harbor, MI. Mixing help came from Brendan M. Gillen.

Artist: WOLF EYES Title: No Answer : Lower Floors Format: CD Label: De Stijl Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| ""No Answer : Lower Floors is the record of 2013 you need to be most worried about. No Answer : Lower Floors is further flesh to the shadowy silhouette cast by this Michigan art abstraction unit, perenially poised on the cusp of a precipice. Wolf Eyes will carry on forever but always remain mysteriously unfinished. The No Answer : Lower Floors material covers all bases: tough to toughest to tangled, all done in the Wolves least convoluted smooth style. The vocals, delays, primitive electronics, woodwinds and raw guitar of newest member Jamas Baljo create a new destroyed space to crawl through. No Answer : Lower Floors was recorded and mixed at the Michigan Underground Groups gambling/clubhouse/art space, with the usually 2D-flat quality of the drums and electronics given creeping new brightness-life within the hollow echo acoustics of the sacred spaces cinder prisons. No Answer : Lower Floors shares a natural feel with previous Wolf Eyes efforts but goes much further in detailing their underworld of odd melodies and mangled harmonics. Within their system-based economic compositions, there remains zero room for wasted space. Wolf Eyes return to longtime friendbase and Interzone of outsider art De Stijl Records, with whom the band worked on No Face Lives, their collaboration with Smegma, and the loner blues cerebration unit Stare Cases Lose Today. No Answer : Lower Floors features former members Aaron Dilloway and Mike Connelly, and thus is a family homecoming of sorts. More important, its the dawn of a new Wolf Eyes era." - De Stijl. |

| "Recorded live in Porto this release shows a different side of Wolf Eyes. Clearly?uncomfortable for playing to a sitted audience, the band throws an unsetting 30?minutes long improvised track ranging from quiet moments - where scrapped?metal, electronics and horns melt - to the most explosive harsh noise and?guttural vocals.?But this was not the end. Without warning, Wolf Eyes start a 2 songs medley.?Both well know for the Wolfs concert goers. Minimal beats, distorted?guitars, cracked-up electronics and noisy vocals fill the remaining 20 minutes.?This edition comes in a gatefold cardboard sleeve with silkscreened original art?designed by Soopa?Limited to 200 copies." - Esquilo. |

Artist: WOLF EYES Title: Slicer Format: CD Label: Hanson Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Wolf Eyes roots are from a much hidden and very ugly world called the cassette noise underground. Here we have a proper CD issue of the most accomplished of their many cassette releases, Slicer. Unlike the heavy brutal beat vibe of last years Dread album, Slicer is a more minimal, tone heavy, and even slower recording. Deep electronic and horne generated tones stretch and separate overtop of glitchy electronics, ultra crude tape manipulations, and ear-piercing scraping glass. The most in the zone and stoned recording the boys have made yet." - Hanson. |

"The first young shorty that ever made my preteen heart sweat at night was Brandy Salem. So fine. The stage was set for some serious 8-year-old dating action but I got snaked by this lame dude named Shawn Murphy who won Brandys eye by shuffling baseball cards faster & being a little crazier on his four-wheel green machine. It killed me ... all summer I tried to get faster on the cards & upstage everyone on the street big wheel scene, but alas, no Salem. She moved to Iowa, still think of her when that "Im in love with the sea" song comes on. Fucking Shawn....
Fast forward 21 years ... in the game of pure electronic hard-core insanity, Wolf Eyes hear rumors of this RI band of PCP chair-throwing HC yahoos who hold the crown on violence & sonic terror. Fuck that. We thought we were the end of the well in electronic napalm. This Black Dice band wanted to play in Detroit ... no one will do it. Fear of violence/death threats/general horror left them with no gig. "Why would I wanna book a band who is gonna beat up my friends?" was the local consensus. So BD get a Monday gig at Club Olson/my basement in quiet Ferndale, home to a handful of whacked out electronic misfit gigs. Neighbors of the crib being left side= young couple / right side = quiet lesbian couple with child. My cell rings nonstop days before the gig with crazed young HC fiends asking if the gig is true. I start to get nervous, then I hear they need like 30,000 watts for their gig. What the?
Gig day/come home from my office job & the Dice dudes are waiting for me. These are the horrible terror junkies who stab people when they play? All I see is smiles, loafers, Bjorn playing with a kid, and starry-eyed-vacant-brain Danny. Weird. Then they load in; mounds of amplifiers, mounds. The whole basement looking like Iron Maiden was gonna play. Wolf Eyes jams, we think it is intense, whatever. Then they play ... starting with solo recorder and then / WHOA /the most violent, insane, Hiroshima tidal roar of basement sonic terror EVER. EVER. We never heard or witnessed anything so massive. We have seen the Merzbows, the Skin Crimes, the Gravitars, Youth In Asia, whatever.. This was in a totally different sound universe where the air is filled with concrete. It was louder in the street than it was in the basement black hole of sound. Imagine Black Dice playing in your fucking basement on a Monday night! Jesus. No neighbor complaints. Changed our view on sound/terror/attack. This was our challenge; meet this Dice volume unholiness on the same sonic field before Shawn Murphy & his Outlaw band does it better. Dudes were so cool two of them even slept in the basement. Awesome.
So we became best friends. Nate called me at work the next morning & said "we are gonna do a record together" I laughed ... that would rule...
So fast forward another two years. Here is it is. Recorded at a subterranean Chinatown studio in two days. Tons of jacked EQ, no space, cases of brew, clouds of smoke, Guinness record for most times "Dude" was said. We met on equal ground here. Total respect/the record really sounds like the shadow of each band. It was a blast. Play it on 16 rpm in a closet and jam along with the bones of an enemy. Me, it would be playing the remains of that rat fucker Shawn Murphy, dude couldnt shake shit at this horrible eerie black pond sound." - John Olson, Wolf Eyes, October 2003.

"Smegma man, fucking Smegma. They started the whole damn thing. Sure there was Lee Rocky & some soundeffects 78s that set the crew in motion but screw it.. you wouldnt be blasting "The Beast" or any "weird handdrawn lp" with rotten ears if it wasnt for this truly motley crew. In high school my sweet momma would give me ten bones a week for lunch, come Monday by noon that shit was blown at the local rec shop. When I only had a couple of raggedy bux left from gripping Zorlac stickers, the only option was the dollar bin at the store. It was there that John Bender, Haystacks Balboa, Nik Reicnek, & Peter Catham lps blew open my teen mind to the netherworlds. Among the giants was this homemade wreckord by Ju Suk Reet Meat. Looked amazing.. had no idea. Threw it on for nearly every day since. Mutant loops, improv from alien swamp prom & deviant horrible ideas. Changed my life. Just what a young mind needed to replace the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Found out later it was from the Smegma camp, a strange unknown mystery troupe from Portland. No photos ever... just a numbling clip on RRR comp video gave me & Dilloway a tunnel view into the spirtual mecca that would the Smegma klan. Before the first Wolf jaunt out west we dropped them a postcard saying it would be good to meet. Soon it mangled into a recording session. We would be so honored. The day came. The Smegma house, totally pink, queued us in to rainy green Portland. We knocked. A femme voice said through the door, "use the bell". Nate pushed it and out came a gargled electronic siren. The door opened, Rock n Roll Jackie, 5 foot tall, grinning & long beatiful grey hair. We all fell in love. Soon after we meet Ju Suk & one by one slowly met all the Smegmas in one of the strangest nights ever. Burned Mind, Meltzer, Stan, Amazon Bambi, others. All weird as hell, checking us as much as us checking them. Yep, this is what we wanted to be with the rest of our lives... the Mich crew had never been so inspired & moved this unholy blending of mutant minds... So we jammed. It was fucking amazing. Here are the results. Every year we are going to see them & hang like the best friend weirdo family. A total pilgrimage. Nate & I once got so blasted from Portland cloud we projected that Smegma has always existed, ever since the beginning of time. Someone will carry it on... might be this dude in Yspi who has no face. Really/ no nose, barely a mouth, always has a broken arm or something.. smells like shit. Dude is totally in Smegma. Fucking life rules." - John Olson, Wolf Eyes.

Artist: WOLFE, CHELSEA Title: Apokalypsis Format: LP Label: Pendu Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
"Its fitting that Chelsea Wolfes second album opens with a hair-raising, animalistic snarl — the sound of some beastly metamorphosis caught on tape. Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced "apokalypsis") finds the L.A.- based artist perfecting her distinctly doom-drenched electric folk. Here she graduates from mobile 8-track experimentation to an actual studio, enlisting a few friends to help even as she maintains the strikingly visceral elements of her powerful debut, The Grime & the Glow (2010). The end result is a both a broader sprawl and a tighter claustrophobia, a serious heaviness of sound and spirit prone to unexpected moments of beauty and triumph. Rightly, the albums title is Greek for both "apocalypse" and "revelation." Wolfes gift for tense beauty reigns supreme on "Tracks (Tall Bodies)," where warm guitar, cavernous drums, and her beguiling voice engender an elemental feeling of regret in tune with the words: Its a machine were up against/Devoid of reason, devoid of sense." The upbeat "Demons" follows, seemingly as counterpoint, rolling forth on a damaged surf beat and becoming a careening steam engine of scratchy thrash and tortured cries. Later, "Moses" demonstrates what Wolfe may very well do best, cooing choral over grinding Sabbathy guitars, somehow hinting at an odd ebullience hidden in the dirging murk. Though Ἀποκάλυψιςs tone is decidedly dark, its a dynamic album, evidenced by buzzing, organ-soaked soul of "The Wasteland," the clanging blues of "Friedrichshain," and the haunted ambience of "To the Forest, To the Sea," which feels like a field recording from the bewitched woods of Wolfes youth. The LPs undeniable high point however, is the unforgettable "Pale on Pale." The seven-minute song slowly bores its way into the listeners skull thanks to Wolfes ghostly moan — which deals death at every lyrical turn — and the thick black metal chords that push it along. Somewhere between the blood-curdling scream and squalling feedback that close out the track, transcendence is achieved, and Wolfes transformation into a true force of nature is complete." - Pendu.

Artist: WOLFLI, ADOLF Title: The Heavenly Ladder Format: CD/Book Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $31.00 |
| "Subtitled: Analysis Of The Musical Cryptograms. Belgian composer Baudouin de Jaer was completely moved by the artistic and human dimensions of the mystery surrounding the gigantic and universal body of work created by Adolf Wolfli within the Waldau hospital in the early 20th century. He managed what none other had accomplished before: to decode Woflis hermetic and emblematic scores. Adolf Wolfli (Bern, February 29, 1864 - Waldau, November 6, 1930) was a Swiss artist who was one of the first artists to be associated with the Art Brut or outsider art label. Wolfli was abused both physically and sexually as a child, and was orphaned at the age of 10. Institutionalized in 1895 at Waldau psychiatric asylum near Bern (Switzerland) where he spent the rest of his adult life, he suffered from psychosis, which led to intense hallucinations. Wolfli started drawing in 1899, but no work prior to 1904 has been preserved. In 1908, Wolfli started developing what would become a potentially endless narrative stretched across 25,000 pages interrupted only by Wolflis death in 1930. His images also incorporated an idiosyncratic musical notation. This notation seemed to start as a purely decorative affair but later developed into real composition which Wolfli would play on a paper trumpet. After his death, the Adolf Wofli Foundation was formed to preserve his art for future generations. Today its collection is on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bern and can be seen in many museums in the world. Baudouin de Jaers approach gives a new dimension to this unique artist. Interpretation/composition from Wolflis works and violin: Baudouin de Jaer. Contains only previously-unreleased material. All tracks exclusively recorded for this project. Includes a full-color 52-page book in French and English. Book size: 136 x 187 x 10 mm (5.35 x 7.36 x 0.40 inches)." - Sub Rosa. |

Artist: WOLFMANGLER Title: Dwelling In A Dead Raven For The Glory Of Crucified Wolves Format: CD Label: Aurora Borealis Country: UK Price: $14.00 |
| "WOLFMANGLER is the musical vision of Polish revelator D Smolken, formerly of DEAD RAVEN CHOIR. His music is slow, grim, noisy and shambling, a deconstructed hybrid of twisted folk and hinterland doom metal. Bowed double bass, electric bass, flute, French horn and violin merge with sinister growls and whispered vocals rich with the symbolism of life and decay creating a listening experience at once unsettling, twisted and darkly beautiful. Dwelling In A Dead Raven For The Glory Of Crucified Wolves takes his trademark raw buzzing intensity and pushes it even further down an uncharted thorny overgrown path creating a wall of noise that almost seems to suck the air out of the room, leaving a festering rotten discomfort ⿿ a real sonic alchemy ⿿ creating oil from sound. We doubt you will hear a record so deliriously unsettling this year. Maybe in any year..." - Aurora Borealis. |

If the Waste Sausage or Leather Donut comps were centred around Brisbane bands butterflying in the contemporary shitpool, rather than the dark side of 1980s Kings Cross, at least one of these tunes wouldve been a surefire album highlight, instead of, herr.....Purple Vulture Shit.

Their second, Its Cosy Inside, released in 1989, qualifies as some of the most electronic organic music ever made. We hearken back to a friendlier time, the 1970s, when Woo first began recording their relaxing and mysterious mood music, using electronically treated acoustic instruments without pretension, creating a sort of pop music for another universe. This is not to say that WOO were, are, or ever could be precious - far from it, in fact! But it is singular, in the mode of Neu!, Fela, and Ashra - a distinctive beat instantly recognizable to those in the know, and enjoyable by all. Woo have made music for more than 35 years now, much of it specifically designed for healing and meditation, while somehow entirely sidestepping the creative vortex of modern new age music." - Drag City. |

"One of the most exciting listens Ive had this year was the Skaters and Wooden Cupboard releases that have come out on Nature Tape Limb. Based around the core pair of James Ferraro and Spencer Clark (The Wooden Cupboard is Ferraros solo project) they sure manage to make a hell of a joyous and utterly insane ecstatic racket on their disks. The overall sound they capture is reminiscent of the recordings by Angus MacLise of tripping screaming hippies involved in dodgy rituals in Nepal in the early 70s, with crazy drumming and loops of lo-fi noise, except that rather than hippies it sounds more the ritual is being conducted by a cult of hyperactive and demonic elves... But its GOOD!
Extraordinarily energising music and one of my all time faves for the label so far." - Pseudoarcana.

Artist: WOODEN SHJIPS Title: Contact Format: 12" Label: Mexican Summer Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
|
"This release is brand a new slab from SFs incomparable Wooden Shjips. They are a modern day answer to space rockers like Hawkwind, F/i, or just the good parts of Van der Graaff Generator. This band helped to kick off the modern small-press vinyl revival with their debut 10"EP (now a sought-after collectors piece) and eking out limited releases one at a time since 2005. For this release the band has cooked up a two-song EP of colossal proportions. Contact is a cover of a Serge Gainsbourg classic, made famous by Brigitte Bardot. The Shjips update with their patented thousand yard psych-cosmos stare, transposing the originals freakbeat tendencies with a Krautrock bassline and a transcendental wander thatll put you in the zone, every time. Once there, chill out even harder to the EZ Version of original I Hear the Vibrations, is slower, grander, heavier, and dreamier, and takes full advantage of the 12" format for better fidelity and a truly blissful listening experience." - Mexican Summer.

"...Wooden Shjips seem to have their wagon hitched to a post psychedelic/punk damaged Krautrock environ that just not enough people are astute enough to homestead." -Tom Lax, Siltblog. "Intense, layered, guitar acid-wash motorbike rock from a San Francisco act who, with one record, are now one of my favorite bands on the planet circa 2006. Imagine an ear-blowing cross between Suicide, White Light/White Heat Velvet Underground, the guy that did that "Get Stoned Ezy with the Afflicted Man" record and some nut with a tape loop machine, and youve got Wooden Shjips on this wide-grooved psychedelic head trip." -Agony Shorthand .

| "How many music bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb? None, computer screens are backlit. Here we have a WOODEN SHJIPS record the world saw coming-not titled II, Sophomore, or Second, but Dos. The group maintains its strident pace like a silverfish rave in perfectly folded bedsheets, with more bounce per ounce as life goes jogging with bopping heads and digging heels. Five numbers whose style might fit as cozily at La Cave in 1968 as at Ibiza in 1988. Natural loops with just enough vocals take you where the khakis and the cut-offs play together. Dos sounds off as the inauguration speech of a group accepting the minimalist psych bop crown that once adorned the likes of Neu and Loop. If possible, their brand of whipping fuzz hooks have gotten groovier. Wooden Shjips debut album and various singles have established them as one of the best psych bands to inhabit this earthly realm. LP version to follow." -Holy Mountain |

| "WOODEN SHJIPS, a quartet from San Francisco heavily influenced by the experimentalism of psychedelia, classical minimalism, and garage rock excess, started as an experiment in rhythmic primitivism and group improvisation. The current roster brings a more structured rock approach to its performances, utilizing a traditional lineup of drums, bass, organ, guitar, and vocals.

"...tight-wound repeato psych guitar raunch with spoony (maybe even imaginary) percussion, surprisingly Rev-like keys, and vocals buried under burning driftwood. Its a nice one." -Byron Coley, Wire.
"...blissful lo-fi space rock meditations in line with Hawkwind, F/i, and a less amphetamized Comets on Fire...a sounding board for musical ideas that are immensely satisfying..." -Doug Mosurak, Dusted. "...Wooden Shjips seem to have their wagon hitched to a post psychedelic/punk damaged Krautrock environ that just not enough people are astute enough to homestead." -Tom Lax, Siltblog. "Intense, layered, guitar acid-wash motorbike rock from a San Francisco act who, with one record, are now one of my favorite bands on the planet circa 2006. Imagine an ear-blowing cross between Suicide, �??White Light/White Heat�?� Velvet Underground, the guy that did that "Get Stoned Ezy with the Afflicted Man" record and some nut with a tape loop machine, and you�??ve got Wooden Shjips on this wide-grooved psychedelic head trip." -Agony Shorthand .

Artist: WOODEN SHJIPS Title: West Format: LP Label: Thrill Jockey Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "It is easy to see why these would appeal to Wooden Shjips, as their music lends itself to exploration. It is both transformative and transporting, the sum being far greater than its parts. The steady driving rhythms are the elliptical motion machine driven by the often thick and distorted guitar lines, melodic and boundless. Where they may lead cannot be anticipated but following them is exhilarating. It is all about getting there, the destination, while the experience of getting there is an adventure. It is the guitar lines that guide both the listener and the band on the literal and metaphorical journey into the vastness. The ghostly vocals, obscured by dense layers of instruments surrounding them, are alluring with their airy mystery. This elusive quality further draws the listener in, while they attempt to grasp at their meaning. While indebted to both the psych music of the 60s and mid-70s, electric Neil Young, and even the induced travels of Spacemen 3, the Wooden Shjips music is modern and in every way their own. West is an epic journey to the edge and beyond." -Thrill Jockey |

Artist: WOODEN SPOON Title: The Folk Blues Guitar of Wooden Spoon Format: CD Label: Bo Weavil Country: UK Price: $17.00 |

Influenced by the Takoma school of guitar players, Popol Vuh & folk music from around the world, Wooden Spoons methods are instinctive, and his music has a reality and honesty rare in these times." - Bo Weavil. |

Artist: WOODEN WAND Title: Blood Oaths of the New Blues Format: LP Label: Fire Country: UK Price: $26.00 |
| "Blood Oaths of the New Blues is the Sunday morning wake and bake record to last years critically acclaimed Briarwoods Saturday night revelry. With his once-every-five-years proper rock and roll record out of his system, James Jackson Toth, aka Wooden Wand, retreated back to Alabama to record this spooky, heady follow-up: an album that demands close attention. This is music for quiet reflection and shares a worldview more in line with noise and doom metal artists than it does summer of love casualties and beach burnouts. Every Wooden Wand album trounces expectations, and Blood Oaths of the New Blues, thankfully, doesnt break that trend." -Fire. |

For those of you subscribing to the art as immortality school of thought, consider this Wooden Wands first mark, his initial score against the reaper." - Soft Abuse. |

"from the moment the first notes of the original polyamory cassette edition hit our ears last year, weve been way sucked into this one... wooden wand steps out solo from behind the vanishing voice and lays down one of the sweetest, most timeless, acid tinged loner folk journeys this side of 1974. intimately striped down and strait forward, but at the same time extremely psychedelic. these songs are the kind of inner skull reverberations that only gush forth when yr mind is alone... vocals whisper in yr ears, double up, echo, and soar through a warm web of acoustic guitars, sparse westcoast
electric moves, and hazy bedroom ambiance the thing that really sets this it apart from the pack though, is the pure quality of the songs. this is thoughtful, beautiful stuff folks, the kind of album that just grows with each spin... the bonus 7inch dishes up 3 even more bare boned cover songs, all exclusive to this vinyl edition... packaged in a private press style, letterpress printed, textured art paper cover. hand numbered edition of 760." - Time Lag.

Artist: WOODEN WAND Title: James & the Quiet Format: CD Label: Ecstatic Peace Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "The prolific JAMES JACKSON TOTH, working under the nom-detune WOODEN WAND has released some 20-plus albums over a handful of years. However, Toth considers James & The Quiet only the third proper Wooden Wand full length. While each release has explored a psychedelic-folk wonderland, this album is far and away one of the most concisely focused and downright catchy recordings in the WW oeuvre. Co-arranger and vocalist JESSICA TOTH may be the records secret weapon. While perhaps best known for her role as lead vocalist and occasional guitarist in Wooden Wand & the Vanishing Voice, on James and The Quiet she emerges as the perfect foil to Toths inimitable artistic voice. Together with LEE RANALDO, Jessica wrote and fine-tuned most of the albums exquisite harmony vocals and piano lines. Hoping to transcend genre tags, Toth, with more than a little help from his friends, has crafted a consistent and creative batch of songs that rewards repeat listens and continues to showcase his talent as a songwriter." -Ecstatic Peace. |

"Vinyl reissue of this fine record from James Toth, aka Wand, aka Wooden Wand that was issued earlier this year as a super limited CDR mounted on a block of wood. Wither Thou Goest, Cretin has a kind of lo-fi sound of some of Wands earlier work combined with the more confident sound of some of his recent releases, it kinda fits somewhere between The Harem Of The Sundrum and the Witness Figg and Born Bad in the extensive Wand catalogue. At times this record has a really underground surreal sound to it, not just in terms of songwriting, but at times with the music itself, and combined with Toths ever changing deliverance of vocals throughout the songs, it produces Toths unique style. Theres not many singer songwriters doing what Toth is doing right now, and here hes at the top of his game. It really cant get much better than how its sounding here.

Beautifully blurring the lines between songs and jams, this is the stuff youve been waiting for. The whole thing has a great dark, lo-fi edge to it that will tangle yr mind right up and not let go for a good 80 minutes. Seriously warped sounds abound, from folky dirges to throbbing trance rock to rippling sonic explorations to weird-ass organ lurch, all executed with a woozy minimalism that makes the walls crawl. Wooden Wand and Satya Sai Scuppety swap off vocals throughout to great effect, and the whole thing unfolds rather cinematically... certainly one of the most face melting downer/acid/folk/psych albums youll hear this year...includes two sweet tracks not available on the CD version! Pressed on two slabs of 180 gram virgin vinyl and packaged in an exquisite custom art paper heavy gatefold cover, with beautiful full color artwork inside and out, and heavy stock insert.

"First release on the bands own label, set up to issue specific group recordings in limited editions. Those in the know are aware that even tho the Vanishing Voice orbits around a nucleus of six members (Steven Harvest Taveniere, Glucose Crane, Heidi H Reality Diehl, Satya Sai Scuppety, Ursula Damm and Wooden Wand), the camp also occasionally augments the groupsound with other rebels, freaks and prophets such as DM Seidel, Adira Amram, The Christian Richard, Gabriel Walsh, Banana Holt, Bill Nace, Jeff Lightning Lewis, Tovah ORourke and Cut Above. The Folk Audio Tapes Series will be a vessel through which the band will self-release these improvisations - for those who prefer the more instrumental side of the ensemble, these 60 minute cassettes will be just the thing to burn comforters to. This first volume is a tour release for sale during our upcoming summer jaunt with Virgin Eye Blood Brothers and Son of Earth. Glossy, color covers, housing two long sides of exclusive tracks - some live, some outtakes from our upcoming Buck Dharma double LP on Time-Lag, some culled from deep in the archives.

Artist: WOODEN WAND & THE VANISHING VOICE Title: Lun Marquer Contre la Moissonneuse Format: CD Label: 3Lobed Country: USA Price: $13.50 |
| "Over the course of their recording career, Wooden Wand And The Vanishing Voice have proven to be a multi-faceted and difficult to define. They have successfully allowed the body of their work to be cryptic, proto-spiritual, emotionally bare, brashly exuberant and, throughout it all, completely entrancing. Their discography, which contains numerous cassettes, CDRs and a little bit of vinyl -- all of which display their twisted and droning take on psychedelic folk -- has been constantly evolving and has seen each of their superb releases build upon the strengths of its immediate predecessor. Lun Marquer Contre la Moissonneuse is an exploration of the goodness inherent in the human heart and how that decency can help transform the world into a better place. Sound grandiose? Well, revolutions do begin with ambition. Long-held beliefs state that every morning that one rises from bed they have cheated Death once more through the grace of God. Through the extension of this theme, every good deed a person performs during those waking hours may very likely stand as a mark against the Reaper on the great cosmic score sheet. Wooden Wand And The Vanishing Voice have collected these four tracks recorded in various locations over the fall of 2004 to act as a sonic testament to this principal." - 3Lobed. |

Artist: WOODEN WAND AND THE SKY HIGH BAND Title: Wasteland of the Free Format: CDR Label: Skulls of Heaven Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "In the Fall of 2006, James Jackson Toth (sometimes aka Wooden Wand) dreamt of a decadent "Rolling Thunder" styled tour and proceeded to hit the road to bring his simple songs to life with the electricity of a full scale, seven piece freewheeling rock and roll ensemble. This crew featured Glenn, Shayde, and Jason (from Skygreen Leopards, Giant Skyflower Band, Flying Canyon, Papercuts, and various other Bay Area and Jewelled Antler related outfits) on guitars and bass, Kelly (from Lazarus, Red Leaf Black Bird, etc) on drums, Clay (Zodiac Mountain, Totem, Hintergedanken) on electric piano and organ, and James and Jessica on vocals (wwvv, Totem, Oath, etc). After recording every show of the tour, this full length live album was compiled featuring some of the very best moments. This includes the definitive cult kosmic blues version of "the Pushers" as well as other new and classic Wooden Wand material rendered mercilessly vital by this heavyset crew. This is about as real as it gets, the heaviest "from the road" set by far. As usual, seven creepy loners forced into a van, driving eachother to their wits end, and all the while smoking every stage up and down the West coast. Comes packaged in the usual "from the road" style digipacks, limited to 277 copies.." -Skulls of Heaven |

"Over the past few years, WOODS has established themselves as an anomaly in a world of freaks. They were an odd proposition even in the outre company of vocalist / guitarist / label owner JEREMY EARLs Woodsist roster, perpetually out of time, committed to songsmanship in an age of noise, drone and improvisation, to extended soloing, oblique instrumentals and the usurping use of tapes and F/X in an age of dead-end singer-songwriters.

Artist: WOODS Title: At Rear House Format: CD Label: Shrimper Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "WOODS began in the woods, at the foot of Bear Mountain. In the earliest days it was a collaborative improvisational group with two core members and several guests, known as "Woodsists." Shortly thereafter, JEREMY EARL & CHRISTIAN DEROECK of MENEGUAR (Troubleman Ltd.) emerged from the woods, dusted themselves off, and began to walk upright. The two woodsists immersed themselves in human culture, learned to craft a melody, to wield a tambourine, to construct a crude phonograph from spare bicycle parts. They learned the value of a cassette. Earl and DeRoeck returned to the woods and shared their newfound knowledge with the other woodsists.

| "The fourth full length by Woods, Songs of Shame, rips deeper with both 90-second and 10-minute forays into skeletal psychedelia. This is not to say the idiosyncratic songwriting style & vocalizing of Jeremy Earl is not present in spades but expanded, colored, and twisted into a tie-dye of soundscapes. Having toured incessantly over the last 12 months as a four piece (Jarvis Taveniere, G. Lucas Crane & Kevin Morby round out the band), many of the songs on Shame benefit from having been road worn, windblown, and deeply grooved." - Woodsist. |

Artist: WORLD Title: Opus 1 Format: LP Label: Lysergic Sound Distributors Country: USA Price: $23.00 |
| "Recently discovered 1972 Latin teen soul-funk-rock private press mega-rarity from rural New Mexico. Pressed in very small numbers, this previously unknown gem is a very accomplished mix of smooth gliding soul and up-tempo funk, complete with swirling Hammond organ and mellow harmonies to go with the fuzz and funk guitars. At the albums core, however, beats the heart of an adolescent small town garage rock combo. This six piece teen group, led by Rick Chavez and the smooth vocals of Ray Williams, features nine very catchy original tunes to go along with their very own funky version of the classic, Bo Diddley. The great music on this authorized reissue has all been restored and re-mastered and is now offered as a very limited vinyl pressing for the first time. We have also restored the original hand-drawn outsider psychedelic cover art. With less than a handful of original copies known to exist at this time, this is a great new find and an absolute must have for the collector of rare soul-funk-garage vinyl." - Lysergic Sound Distributors. |

Pressed on heavy vinyl, in a fold-open cover thats supposed to be a tribute to Ash Ra Temples debut, this thing is beautiful whether shelved, displayed or spinning. Anyone into the more staggering forms of contemporary lunge-psych should own this one." - Byron Coley. 200 copies pressed.

Seven long, loud instrumental excursions that will take you back to the time when At least theyre not on drugs, was the rallying cry of Americas concerned parents." - Twisted Village. "A Twisted Village in-house project if there ever was one, this features Wayne Rogers & Kate Biggar (Magic Hour), Tom Leonard (L. Bags) and Joe Malinowski (Willimantic Shrin). Recordings started in 1992 and sorta languished for a while (one track under the name Wormdoom has previously appeared on the UK Deep Funnels of Entry comp CD), until its completion in 1994.

Artist: WOUNDED LION Title: Friendly? Format: 7' Label: In The Red Country: USA Price: $5.50 |
| "Los Angeles WOUNDED LION is a great no-frills pop band that sounds fresh, even when they remind one of classic American power-pop of the 70s. Inspired by The Velvets, The Cramps, The Clean and The Vaselines (as well as Credence Clearwater Revival and Kleenex), Wounded Lion is regularly seen at Los Angeles haunts such as Mr. Ts Bowl, The Smell, The Scene and Spaceland. Their hum-inducing, toe-tapping tunes wiggle their way into your brain and have you singing their choruses at the grocery store or waiting in line at the DMV. The bands formula is relatively simple: shambling, alternately silly and poignant songs that bend and twist timeless pop hooks. The bass and guitars belch out raw distortion, lending the music a primitive quality, but a whimsical sensibility elevates the abrasiveness to a jubilant level. Wounded Lion writes pop songs that celebrate the unrefined, dispensing with ego and tapping into the primal areas of the brain. LP version to follow." - In the Red. |

I personally have been eternally infected by the music of the above mentioned bands and others like The Troggs, Simply Saucer, Spacemen 3, Les Rallizes Denudes, The Adverts, The Ramones, The Damned, The Gun Club, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Vaselines.

Regardless of what theyre calling themselves these days, Wume are currently making some of the most tasteful (read: not cheesy) music under the mutant new age music umbrella. Bits of Wumes debut LP couldve scored 2001: A Space Odyssey, or more contemporaneously, Moon perfectly! The influence of synth maestros and Krautrock legends like Cluster, Brian Eno, Popol Vuh, Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream is very apparent, but Wume have taken these influences and combined them with what can only be described as a Goblin / John Carptenter-esque cinematic quality that puts them in a league of their own. Distance may be a document of new, new age music, but it aint no drone record. Wume wisely chose to keep the motorik beat. If Simeon from Silver Apples had been slipped more Benzos, Contact may have sounded a lot more like Distance. Eash listen definitely makes the heart grow fonder. Edition of 200 copies." |

Artist: WYATT, OLIVIA Title: The Pierced Heart & The Machete Format: DVD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "The Pierced Heart & The Machete is a vivid, unflinching exploration of two annual Vodou pilgrimages in Haiti. The first is for Èzili Danto, goddess of love, art and passion; worshipers from all over the world descend on the southwestern town of Ville-Bonheur to bathe in the sacred waterfall where Dantò resides. The second pilgrimage is for Dantòs husband Ogoun, god of war, iron and healing. It takes place at the end of July in the northern town of Plaine du Nord, where practitioners bathe in a mud pool and make flamboyant sacrifices. This beautifully-shot film offers disorienting yet illuminating glimpses of the contradictory and complementary aspects of these two lwa, the electrifying rites that honor them, and the intense music that accompanies these ecstatic and bloody ceremonies. As in her previous film for Sublime Frequencies, Staring Into the Sun (SF 065DVD), Olivia Wyatts vision is always sharp, unerring and unobtrusive. 70 minutes/color; digipack; all-region DVD; NTSC format. Limited one-time edition of 1,000 copies." - Sublime Frequencies. |
