Artist: ASTREINTE Title: Cest Pourquoi Il Importe, Aux ÿpoques Dadversité... Format: LP Label: Nashazphone Country: Egypt Price: $29.00 |
| ...De Demeurer Intérieurement Fort Et Sobre De Paroles. "No one knows or will ever know who Astreinte are and what their story is. If ever told, theyll be immediately elevated to cult status considering their personal backgrounds and live shows (besides the fact that anything remotely French, sounds wonderful in North America nowadays). Astreinte is a five to nine members collective delivering a totally deafening sonic wall assault directly inspired by Japanese legends such as Hijokaidan or CCCC. The group mainly consists of hippies, crust punks, industrialists, garage rockers and a jazz fanatic. Dwelling in and around Pau, in the south west of France, near the Pyrenees and the Spanish border, their very scarce and violent live appearances have been greeted with comparatively aggressive and emotionally charged reactions. Cest pourquoi il importe... is their debut LP as a nine piece (vocals, guitar, bass, trumpet, drums, 2 x synths, electronics). Edition of 190 copies, with insert." -Nashazphone |

"BLANK REALM have been setting hearts aflutter in Brisbane and beyond (including, most recently, the United States) for the better part of the last decade. Over two LPs and a gaggle of small run CDR and tape releases, this rabid family unit have blurred the lines between spoiled Krautrock, FM channel-surfing and psychedelic shrubbery. Their first release on NGL is also the first in a series of Negative Guest List Jukebox Singles, where artists are invited to take a song that has been pre-written by another and attempt to transcend the meaning of the word "cover", the only guidelines being that it should be fit to cut at 45RPMs. Here, the SPENCERS (and a WALSH!) add a blazed psychedandy vibe to Alex Chiltons orgiastic "Hey! Little Child," taken from his classic Like Flies On Sherbert LP. If this is your first taste of Blank Realm it will surely only leave you wanting more, and for the old fans here is your chance to be satiated in hearing the only tune this band has covered on stage immortalized to wax.

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

The Hatefuck crew (HFK) existed in the early 2000s, their legacy left in a number of legendary live shows and a handful of demo recordings, from which these tracks were decalcified. Rock N Roll Let Down contains three cuts of amphetamine hardcore. A side “When Time Takes Over” is a long rock-based tune that necessitated the 33RPM run time speed. The flip offers three faster cuts, from the high octane punk of “HWY 10” to the Stoogoid rumble of “Little Girls Make the World Go Round.” -Negative Guest List. |

You take what you have....a resonator guitar, a mandolin, 3 fuzz boxes, a 5 watt valve amplifier, a 44 gallon drum, some old records....and you acquire a 3-in-1 home stereo with dual tape decks with record and overdub functions....and you tap into what youve been listening to, what youve been living your whole life, a stream running free through pre-war blues, songsters and saints....and you feel it when youre sober even, and you do it when youre fall down drunk....and somehow, over a couple of tumbledown, turnaround months in 1990 you commit An Unnatural Act. And it contains both kind of breakdowns, it has stolen voices, a cover (sort of), a love song, a piece by Samuel Beckett, sensitive feedback, a back beat, insensitive jokes, the sound of losing it, a tribute, a debt being paid in part, a groove found, an entirety."

"Originally recorded in 1995 and seeing vinyl here for the first time-as it were always intended-Blondes... is arguably the LOST DOMAINs first masterpiece and surely represents the groups creative zenith. The record might appeal to fans of Jandek or the People With Chairs Up their Noses, not specifically in sound, but in the skewered approach and unhinged intent. Three drummers forge a tribal, free landscape, grounded by SIMON ELLABYs (aka RAGTIME FRANK) vocals and the virtuous guitar work of PAPA LORD GOD & spiritual group leader DAVE MACKINNON. What results is one of the finest rocknroll records ever cut in Brisbane, Australia." -Negative Guest List

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.

Artist: MARCLAY, CHRISTIAN Title: Guitar Drag Format: LP Label: Neon Gallery Country: Sweden Price: $25.00 |
| Soundtrack from the video Guitar Drag, 2000. Recorded in San Antonio Texas, on November 18th 1999. 12" one-sided transparent vinyl. 14 minutes. "The record is actually the soundtrack for Marclays video with the same title that was shown first at Londons Hayward Gallery sound art exhibition Sonic Boom in 2000. The piece as well as Marclay has become an icon in sound art circles, and although the video can only be seen in exhibitions as an installation, it is widely known. The full 14-minute soundtrack is released on a beautiful 12" clear vinyl record packaged in a sleeve with stills from the video. Filmed in San Antonio Texas, it shows an amplified Fender Stratocaster guitar attached to a rope being pulled behind a pick-up truck. As the guitar drags across the road it produces a range of sounds from the bumping and the friction against the varied surfaces. A fantastic visual piece, but also an amazing sound piece, that stands just as well alone, and in some ways just as visual! From the first sounds of duct-tape being ripped, the familiar sound of someone gently slamming the strings of the guitar, to the sounds of an engine starting and then slowly the beginning of a sound that is hollow and at the same time human, and that takes us through the deepest roarings to high pitched screams until the very end when it all slows down and stops, unwillingly it seems. Knowing the story behind the work or not, the sound itself triggers your imagination, leaving your soul no peace. For even if this could be seen, or heard, solely as a beautiful noisy sound piece, there is too much to the idea behind Guitar Drag, for it to not leave you restless and thoughtful." - Neon Gallery. |

Numbered edition of 107 copies in silkscreened jackets. "There is a deliriously sad quality to Nona Marie Invie of Dark Dark Darks voice that can make even the happiest song seem heartwrenching. Theres a good reason fans often refer to her as an old soul; her hardy, unwavering voice helps to chisel down her emotions to their finest points. Add in a backing chorus of nearly a dozen like-minded female singers, and the effect is downright devastating.
Though Nona has been experimenting with choral elements in Dark Dark Dark for a while now, it wasnt until recently that she broke off the backing singers into her own group. First known as Nona Marie and the Choir and now billed as the Anonymous Choir.." -The Current.

Artist: BRAIN SOUND Title: An Attempt To Record Coincidence Format: LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
  "Pictured in all its tantalizing, eye-popping glory in Hans Pokoras 1001 Record Collector Dreams, this hellishly-rare Austrian avant garde LP from 1972 is nothing short of astonishing. There are no instruments, but rather varying configurations of solo, duo and ensemble vocal improvisations, presumably informed by the aforementioned (and nearly impenetrable) code (or "charts"). Although this might be seen as part of an interesting continuum, this unique and prescient music will stun even the most astute followers of outsider art. Describe it, you say? Sweet Jesus! "Shape note singing for acidheads," perhaps? From an avant-classical perspective, one might mention late-60s Penderecki as a possible reference point (along with Ligeti, or perhaps even Nono). In improvised music, the Spontaneous Music Ensembles larger workshop groups similarly feature masses of vocal sounds; comparisons with Alan Watts This Is It are as plausible as they are inevitable. Ultimately, though, nothing will quite prepare you for this LP. In fact, when an original copy landed at Neros Neptune headquarters, one notorious "outsider" label chief/collector extraordinaires peni-meter became so perilously engorged, that he nearly burst with envy, casting ridiculous offers of rare wax and unmentionable "favors" Neros Neptunes way while begging to let him take over. In other words, it is strongly recommended that you purchase this limited reissue while you can, while securing appropriate spiritual condiments for the trip. After all, you CAN be anyone this time around. Strictly limited edition of 500 copies only. Packaged in high-gloss, tip-on sleeves, and pressed on 180 gram vinyl." - Neros Neptune.

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

Artist: EIH, A.L.K. AND BROTHER CLARK, DAMIN Title: Never Mind Format: CD Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "On many hardcore psych collectors Top 10 lists (including one via Patrick Lundborgs Acid Archives book), this insanely rare and impossible-to-describe 1973 brain-fryer from Minneapolis is utterly soaked with mystic, thoroughly-dosed higher key psychedelia -- think Zerfas meets Bobb Trimble, but youre still nowhere near the lysergic laboratory. Damin Eih rambled off to India to clear his head after leaving behind this lone, legendary offering, never to be heard from again. Painstakingly and spectacularly re-mastered from two virgin copies of the original vinyl (the master tapes have long since disappeared), this treasure is now rescued from the deepest catacombs of psychedelic fatso obscurity for all to hear." - Neros Neptune. |

Artist: EIH, A.L.K. AND BROTHER CLARK, DAMIN Title: Never Mind Format: LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $28.00 |
| "Now available on vinyl in a limited edition of 475 copies. On many hard-core psych collectors Top 10 lists, this insanely rare and impossible-to-describe 1973 brain-fryer from Minneapolis is utterly soaked with mystic, thoroughly-dosed higher key psychedelia. It is a truly unhinged gem of out-there, acid-dipped geniusness, with quavering vocals, flanged-out guitars & effects, acoustic ramble, and fuzz confusion. Damin Eih wandered off to India to clear his head after leaving behind this lone, legendary offering, never to be heard from again. Painstakingly and spectacularly remastered from two virgin copies of the original vinyl with the full participation of Brother Clark (the others are lost and presumed dead), this treasure is now rescued from the deepest catacombs of psychedelic fatso obscurity for all to hear. 180 gram vinyl, original insert reproduction, and 28 pt. craft stock with old school paste-on sleeves." - Neros Neptune. |

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

Artist: KOERNER, SPIDER JOHN Title: March 1963 Format: LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "A major archival discovery, taped March 24, 1963 for a Milwaukee, Wisconsin radio program, on the eve of the very same day that the seminal Blues, Rags & Hollers LP by Koerner, Ray & Glover was created. Spider John Koerner is the man who first introduced a young Bob Dylan to the 12-string guitar, a bona fide legend who is acknowledged as an influence by artists as diverse as John Lennon, Beck, The Doors & Dylan himself. Nearly 50 years ago, Paul Nelson, writing in the Little Sandy Review and Sing Out respectively, said that "Koerners art is like Chaplins, as great and lasting as it is entertaining," while calling him "the most innovatively brilliant acoustic blues musician of his generation." In the year 2010 -- seldom performing and now in his 70s -- the reclusive Koerner is "one of the worlds greatest living practitioners of traditional American folk music." It is with enormous pride that Neros Neptune presents this long-lost piece of American musical history. Tip-on sleeves, pressed on 180 gram vinyl." - Neros Neptune. |

Artist: METZGER, PAUL Title: Four Improvisations on Modified Banjo and Guitar Format: Double LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $27.00 |
|
"Four lengthy improvisations venture into the meditative sublime, a deeply cognitive set of compositions that exit miles beyond what one normally expects from the banjo and guitar. Both of these instruments have been stretched well beyond their intended parameters by Metzgers design modifications. The banjo bears little resemblance to that backwoods icon that it once was (he has added more than a dozen strings and a sitar bridge, and otherwise mutated a traditionally limiting instrument into something entirely unique), and his fretless acoustic guitar also has had additional drone strings built in. Metzgers iconoclastic approach and fluid dexterity in attack are truly unprecedented. Middle-Eastern, North Indian and Asian influences as well as jazz and hill country folk styles seamlessly echo through his extended improvisations; rhythm is implied more than imposed, and time seems to take on new dimensions. Three banjo pieces here are simultaneously released on CD by the Chairkicker label. Additionally, theres a 14:20 guitar track recorded during the same sessions which is exclusive to this edition of 240 numbered copies. The handmade covers are individually assembled & designed by Metzger and have completely different artwork than the CD."

Artist: METZGER, PAUL Title: Tombeaux Format: LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "LP version on 180 gram vinyl. Tombeaux, the much-anticipated new album from Paul Metzger, marks our alchemists third appearance on Neros Neptune, following critically-acclaimed contributions to labels like Locust and Honest Jons. Metzger summons the spirits of musical Appalachian forefathers, guitarist Django Reinhardt and classical sitarist Nikhil Banerjee, among others, weaving a peerless, highly individualistic music that sounds unlike anyone but himself. Metzgers playing doesnt imitate raga structures so much as use those modal figures as a starting point. He employs dazzling, breviloquent string-plucks on the main banjo strings, while producing rhythmic, droning textures on the cross-strings of an added bridge. Some have suggested similarities to the works of John Fahey or Sandy Bull, but Metzgers modus operandi doesnt constitute a mirroring of those styles; rather, he composes and operates apart from their music, in an insular and altogether separate universe. In the process, Metzger transcends and expands the lexicon in a wholly organic manner." -Neros Neptune. |

Artist: PARR, CHARLIE Title: When The Devil Goes Blind Format: LP + CD Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "Includes a CD of the entire LP. 180 gram vinyl with tip-on sleeves. The legendary Charlie Parrs spellbinding finger picking and slide techniques on guitar and banjo place him front & center among the worlds foremost string-benders. His blood & guts songs are infused with an originality, integrity and heart rarely (if ever) displayed by contemporaries operating in or around pre-war blues traditions. In 2010, hes enjoying an ever-growing fan base comprised of folk-blues purists, American Primitive beard-scratchers, jam band-lovin neo-hippies, etc. Produced by Bo Ramsey (former guitarist with Greg Brown and Lucinda Williams), Charlies first nationally-distributed record is easily his most fully-realized effort to date." -Neros Neptune |

Artist: PERE UBU Title: Live at the Longhorn -- April 1, 1978 Format: Double LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $30.00 |
| "Double LP version. The three vinyl sides of Pere Ubu Live at the Longhorn are as much an indispensable live rock album as Modern Dance is an indispensable studio album. The show consists mainly of material from the Modern Dance album, only rocked out and swinging, more raw-nerved yet seasoned than their studio counterparts. What becomes apparent, especially on repeated listens, is how well-made this music is, how the drama and comedy flows within the modules of each song, how the songs fit together to give an audience an experience that -- while sharpened to paranoia and sensitive to harsh realities -- is as ineffable as it is concrete." -Neros Neptune. |

Artist: VAMPIRE HANDS Title: Two E.P.S Format: LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: USA Price: $24.00 |
| "At Wizard Island Too Punk To Fuck/Cuz Its A Beach Funeral. Neros Neptune has bestowed the last copies of this ultra-limited, swankly-packaged, tour-only LP upon Forced Exposure to coincide with Vampire Hands Spring 2009 23-date tour with Wavves. Minneapolis Vampire Hands are a rather difficult-to-pigeonhole lot, one with so many disparately abundant ideas bubbling out of their collective skulls that they barely keep pace with them. Citing influences as diverse as Exuma, Can, Neil Young and Simply Saucer, Vampire Hands sound might (lazily) be described as Marc Bolan meets Mayo Thompson in Neil Haggertys cannabistro. Fuzzy, distorted guitars meet tribal, pulsating rhythms. An eerily affecting falsetto melds with a lower, drier voice to create delightfully off-kilter harmonies. Get this NOW before this band assuredly ascends the hype-ladder." - Neros Neptune. |

Artist: YONKERS, MICHAEL Title: Circling The Drain Format: LP Label: Neros Neptune Country: US Price: $24.00 |
|
"The second of two startling Yonkers releases is an eight-band LP of solo, modified guitar improvisations. These recordings were picked from a number of tapes representing the entire works recorded by Yonkers that utilized a severely altered Steinberger knockoff guitar (that has since been retired). The music was recorded on a high-speed four-channel cassette machine, further manipulated during mastering. This is the noise record that lucky regional Yonkers aficionados have been hoping for since witnessing his infrequent, brain-scrambling, all-instrumental performances - and then some! Vinyl-only edition of 303 numbered copies in a gorgeous, four-color hand-screened jacket by Minneapolis artist and printer Dan Black complete the scrumptious package." - Neros Neptune.

Amazing split lp by New Zealand free noise legends Dead C and local heroes of surreal theatre, world damage and spaced rock The Hi God People. Dead C provide 2 tracks taken from their ATP show in LA 2002. Starts of with a suprisingly gentle and repetitive rock mantra, ends in punk noise, feedback wall of squall - killer! Hi God supply 3 tracks - a mind blinding mix of sermonic atmosphere, space chug, tribal clunk and glorious plunk. All up a genius paring of 2 of the southern hemispheres finest: Noise, trance, rock, feedback, fun, love and weirdness all wrapped in a stunning silk-screened sleeve by Dylan Mattoral (snawklor, hi god). Local record of the year.... ?" - Synaethesia. "Pairing of northern suburbs conceptual improv performance art collective and New Zealand noise addicts of a 20 year vintage. the Dead C boil down the top-impact sections of their relentless 2002 LA ATP performance to 18 minutes of brutality. Hi God People take ears on a free form sonic adventure. Limited to 500 copies, each come with silk screened artwork by Dylan Martorell thatll have your mind collapsing at first sight of its intricacies." - Missing Link. Highly Recommended! |

| "Debut record from Brooklyn-based group LYDSOD on the Nest Recordings label. Devoted to an ideology of non-stop recording, "Ancient Age" is a psychedelic petri dish displaying the reassembled highlights of a year and a halfs worth of group improvisations . For each session a reel of tape is loaded onto the machine and the members embark on a journey led by the core unit of JZ Barrell on drums and Patrick Hambrecht on sampling keyboard. Guest players Alice Cohen, Zach Layton and Nick Anderson reflect the resulting axis of sound back at them, only to have it sampled again into a sonic hall of mirrors. "Ancient Age" contains the distilled essence of these 18 months of recordings, in one potent dose. Additional guest players include Hamish Kilgour (The Clean / Mad Scene), Linda Hagood (Double U / Smack Dab), Danny Tunick and Chris Talsness.

Artist: SKULLFLOWER Title: Strange Keys to Untune Gods Firmament Format: Double CD Label: Neurot Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "All must bow before the pagan wall of drone..." "So reads the opening line of SKULLFLOWERs website. Hearing their tortured, distorted, and eerily shamanic sounds emanate from the stereo for the first time in the early 90s was truly a revelation. IIIrd Gatekeeper and Obsidian Shaking Codex are two of my all-time favorite albums and have been extremely influential on the way my brothers and I approach guitar-based heavy music. To grab an instrument, drive a loud amplifier to its physical limit, and ride the drone into oblivion is ecstasy, and MATTHEW BOWER has been showing us all how it is done for 20-odd years. Strange Keys to Untune Gods Firmament evokes Wagnerian sonic bombast, a Nietzchean worldview, and a warlike cry of rebellion against the false, encased in a whirlwind both psychotropic and psychoacoustic. Each spin brings new themes to the forefront. Not easy listening by anyones standards, Strange Keys is not for the faint of heart-but those willing to submit and immerse themselves in the deep, thick waters of self-transformation will be greatly rewarded."-Steve Von Till. |

 "O.R.D.U.C. was founded in 1971 and stands for One-O-Seventh Royal Dutch Underground Company and was led by Nicko Selen, who ran also the label, and later IF Records, along with friends who played guitars and drums. Highly naive electronic music, partly inspired by krautrock. At first O.R.D.U.C. was a band which wanted to play a mixture of Frank Zappas and Pink Floyds music from the late sixties. But after the initial members had left, Nico Selen decided to go on with O.R.D.U.C. as a project for experimental music." - http://433rpm.blogspot.com. Original copies of this obscure LP from 1981, edition of 500 with insert. O.R.D.U.C.s first recordings were on the V/A "17 To 7 On 33" 7" (Plurex/1980).

Artist: NEW HUMANS Title: New Humans Format: CDR Label: New Humans Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "On New Humans new self-titled CD, the minimalist impulse is harnessed across disparate lines to create raw and improbable compositions, rendering an almost visual experience to listening. Unraveled, deconstructed and repurposed: sonic passages and genre motifs are treated as block and geometric progressions of sound, noise and rhythm. From the systematic meltdown of Sabbath-like doom riffage to the relentless super deformation of Riley and Brancas legacy, each track builds and clear cuts at the same time documenting a body of performances and installation projects by the New Humans in the past two years. New Humans is a hand silk-screened limited edition CD of 200 with custom insert." - New Humans. |

"By simply rambling off improvisational cycles of vocal rhythm into her her fuzzed-out vocoder, Merkey constructs music which feels refreshingly aimless and free yet thoughtful and beautiful." - Tiny Mix Tapes. "Introducing the debut LP by Madalyn Merkey, an artist based in Chicago. Synthetic sounds fill the air in Madalyn Merkeys debut album of bizarre and beautiful phase vocoder experiments. Using harmonic voice processing, analog synthesis, and stereo panning, Merkey addresses the Centaurs of her imagination. Influenced by celestial bodies, artificial intelligence, and opera, the journey is a mysterious meshing of mechanical fibers and polymorphic organic exchanges. Highly emotional, yet non-emotional at the same time, the alternating energy is a truly lovely work, warm, and lifting experience." - New Images. Highly recommended! |

Artist: UNCHAINED Title: The Happy Stirrup Format: Double LP Label: New Images Country: USA Price: $24.00 |
|
"The songs are constructed from the practice tapes of two bands I was playing in at the time, Gateway Evening Colours (with Alex Farrill on drums and Brian House on bass) and Innnocent Delights (with Miles Huston on drums and vocals and Sam Mehran on keyboard and guitar). In both bands I was playing guitar through a no-input mixer setup. Gateway Evening Colours was working on a kind of deep blues/country-rock noise-wall sound, very minimal and jammy. Innocent Delights was less rock-ish, more free, more psychedelic. The majority of the songs consist of loops cut from GEC and ID practice tapes, cut-and-pasted with a computer wave editor, and also EQd and tweaked on a computer. While the source tapes were collective efforts, the editing process was my own solipsistic endeavor. What I wanted to do was isolate moments of group-improvisational clarity, and cut and paste them into a larger composition. It was this combination of the non-control of group improvisation with the hyper-control of cutting and pasting alone on a wave editor that intrigued me. Instead of developing compositions through the act of improvising, here the improvisations themselves become the compositions..." - ND. "Originally released as a CDR in 2007, Unchained is the project of Nathaniel Davis. Also included in the reissue are a number of bonus tracks from the 2006 CDR, Anlehnung, originally released on the Paha Porvari label." - New Images. |

Artist: GIBSON, JON Title: Two Solo Pieces Format: CD Label: New Tone Country: Italy Price: $22.00 |
| Second, equally essential Jon Gibson reissue, available again. "This is a reissue on CD of Gibsons second LP, which was originally issued by Philip Glass extremely collectible Chatham Square label in 1977. This CD version presents presents five pieces, three of which are unissued. Cycles, for solo organ, uses a seven note melodic progression in four-part harmony exploring various technique on the pipe organ. Untitled, for solo alto flute, is a long melody where the note sequence is indicated while the other elements of the performance (duration, phrasing, tempo, ...) are left to the player choices. Both these compositions combine elements of the written structure with elements of improvisation. Then there are three unissued compositions. Melody IV Part 1 is part of a series of «melody» pieces that use the same melodic material in different contest. Another piece of the «melody» series is Melody III, for Yamaha Organ, built around the number 36 and his possible divisions. To close the CD, Song 1 for quartet that echoes, in the sound and instrumentation, a string quartet with soprano sax, violin and two cellos. The inspiration source is almost traditional and the result is very charming and nice. On cello on this track there is the great American composer and performer Arthur Russell. This release offers another possibility to discover the music of composer Jon Gibson and, more in general, of another side of the American Minimal Music." - New Tone. |

Artist: GIBSON, JON Title: Visitations I + II + Thirties Format: CD Label: New Tone Country: Italy Price: $22.00 |

"American composer and saxophone player Jon Gibson is one of the most important exponents of the American Minimal Music school. He is the only musician to have performed with the three major figures of this school: Philip Glass, Steven Reich and Terry Riley. As a performer Gibson took part in several very important world premieres, such as Drumming by Steve Reich, In C by Terry Riley and Einstein on the Beach by Philip Glass. He is a founding member of the Philip Glass Ensemble. This is a reissue on CD of Gibsons first LP, which was originally issued by Philip Glass extremely collectable Chatham Square label in the seventies. This CD version presents the original material that appeared on the LP, as well as previously unissued material. The original tracks were two long compositions: Visitations I - II, that Gibson describes as 16 Multi Track-Textured Environmental Soundscape. The music presentes several layers of sounds, mostly natural, that create a very unique Environmental Soundscape."

Artist: REICH, STEVE Title: Four Organs/Phase Patterns Format: CD Label: New Tone Country: Italy Price: $19.00 |
| 1990 CD reissue of this classic album, originally issued by the Shandar label, 1971. A core set of Minimalism icons, these 2 works are as significant as significant gets. These are the original and best recordings (there are a few others, none terrible, but you wouldnt want to start out with Bang On a Cans versions, please!). Listed as #4 on Alan Lichts "Minimal Top Ten". "This is an important and peculiar recording. Important because it is the first available recording of a live performance of Steve Reichs music played by real musicians and moreover by an ensemble. Up to then his main work Its Gonna Rain and Come Out for magnetic tape and the various phase (violin phase, piano phase, reed phase) for solo/duo instruments. Performed by Reich, Philip Glass (today very well-known American composer) on keyboard, Jon Gibson, composer and saxophone player with the P. Glass Ensemble, on keyboard and maracas, Art Murphy, keyboard, also with P. Glass Ensemble during the 70s, and Steve Chambers, composer and keyboardist, first with the P. Glass Ensemble, then in solo. Peculiar recording both for the instrumentation: electric organs and for the music. Reich has used very rarely electric instruments in his music. The choice of four electric organs, here, gives a strange sound to the music, very different from other pieces of the same composer. At a superficial level it resembles very much of certain recordings of Philip Glass in the seventies." - New Tone. |

Artist: RILEY, TERRY Title: Persian Surgery Dervishes Format: Double CD Label: New Tone Country: Italy Price: $27.00 |
| CD reissue, original recordings from 1971/2. Terry Riley: electric organ + feed back. "This is the reprint, in CD format (2 CD), of one of the masterpieces of American minimal music: Persian Surgery Dervishes by Terry Riley. Originally issued by Shandar in France as double LP album, the recording went out-of-stock in the early eighties and since then became a collectors item. Recorded in two different concerts in 1971 and 1972 in Los Angeles and Paris, Persian Surgery Dervishes presents two different versions of the title track. Terry Riley, all alone with his keyboards and feed-back, improvises on a basic structure strongly influenced by the emotion and the relationship with the audience. The results are two very different versions: one, the American, very dynamic with moments that reach trance-like peaks resembling the dance of whirling dervishes. The other one, recorded in Paris, is more meditative and thoughtful, dominated by a deep sense of quietness. The music is organized in the typical minimalism vein but it is rich in emotion, an element not always present in such intensity in the music of any style. The emotion is strictly related to the high degree of improvisation we can find in Rileys music that mixes the traditions of the Western and Indian Classic Music. Persian Surgery Dervishes is also one of the milestones of the psychedelic era of the 70s." - New Tone. |

Artist: A HANDFUL OF DUST Title: Panegyric Format: CDR Label: Nextbestway Country: New Zealand Price: $14.00 |
| "An onslaught of extended improvised noise workouts: senseless,messy,directionless and ear-wracking.... for improvisation to be a risk the performers need to be striving for a vision, need to be striving to take us somewhere. On these recordings however it doesnt sound like any striving is going on at all. This sort of self-indulgent,directionless improvisation irritates me not for its rejection of structural convention,or its grating timbre,but because of the self-satisfied absence of ambition it embodies. I cannot help but feel swindled - I can hear no passion, no giving, no magic, no sharing, no dynamics, no vulnerability. Just the air-tight armour of arrogance. Im sure the band members are marvellous people personally: but musically this is obnoxious and not in a good way" - Henry Lauer/ Heathen Harvest.

Wink With Both Eyes is a distinct statement in the contemporary underground music environment. It is a distilled, unified, collection of songs compiled from the hundreds of songs BBB has created in the last couple of years. To add extra flavor to their weirdo synth pop songs on Wink With Both Eyes, BBB enlisted many of their Brattleboro music friends including shredders like KING TUFF, CHRIS WEISMAN and GRAHAM BROOKS. Band members SARAH SMITH and ZACH PHILLIPS didnt use any computers, samplers, drum machines or sequencers when they created Wink With Both Eyes sticking to their own unique processes of song craft. Retained from prior releases is the urgent jazzy retro synth feel, catchy monotone vocals and minimalist post punk references. BBB is a distinct creative team and this LP is there definitive statement thus far." - Night People. |

"This is the debut LP by Olympia Washington three-piece BROKEN WATER. Consisting of former SISTERS (Parts Unknown Records) and CELEBRATION members, Broken Waters sound seems to resound in the rainy coastal woodlands that they are surrounded by. Dense walls of slow swirling distortion breath out into moments of cold syrupy magma and reverb drenched beauty. Droning post punk bass grooves build foundations for constantly evolving guitar riffing and somber vocal passages, a subtle psychedelic sound as heavy as it is lite, as dark as it is colorful, and as deep as it is wide. Broken Waters dreamy take on hazy pastoral sonic exploration is as unique as it is nostalgic and provides endless amounts of killer listening. Silkscreened artwork by SHAWN REED." - Night People.

Artist: FEATURELESS GHOST Title: Personal Matrix Format: LP Label: Night People Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "Personality Matrix is the debut LP by Atlanta duo FEATURELESS GHOST following a steady stream of EPs including the recent Mind Body cassette on Night-People. All of those prior releases were great but Featureless Ghost were holding onto something special that they have now fully materialized in the form of this LP. Pre-release listens of the vinyl had friends of the band and the label awed by the heavy and deep sound of this record, a true stunner that buries the speakers and space around the sound. A fully realized master work recorded and mastered to perfect specifications; Night-People has never released anything that simply sounds this good. Featureless Ghost set high expectations and surpassed them. Any reference to the aesthetic or influence seems too simple to fully describe what has been accomplished with this release. Synth pop, dark wave, minimal synth, trance, none of it really matters. This is deep eclectic electronic music performed to live midi, hybrid digital and analog perfection. The dual male/female vocal delivery presented on this record shows a high concern for distinctly developed interplay and identity that is perhaps unequaled in contemporary synth pop. Cyber dreams, lost worlds, and dystopian futures seem to be the subject of Featureless Ghosts expression but the music itself couldnt be more solidly realized and perfected. Night-People is so honored to be a part of this release and we hope you end up enjoying it as much as we do." -Night People. |

"This record has been in the works for a little while now and Night People couldnt be more happy to see it finally out. FNU RONNIES find home turf in both Philly and Oakland and have a previous 7-inch on Richie Records. This one-sided 12-inch contains the same material as the recent cassette/CD on Denmarks Skrot Up label, but is now reissued on vinyl. Deluxe art work by band member JIM VAIL with silkscreening by SHAWN REED. FNU Ronnies are a weird almost indescribable mix of fucked up hardcore propulsion, industrial heaviness, electronics thrashing, and punked out cyborg nihilism. Aesthetic themes elude to psychedelic nightmares, Middle Earth monsters, and generally dark times. Seeing this band live last summer was a revelation into how musical genres could be mutated into something truly unpredictable and inspiring." - Night People

Artist: KOI POND Title: Volcano Format: Cass Label: Night People Country: USA Price: $6.50 |
| "Koi Pond is a three piece from NYC made up of some generally awesome dudes. Arik Roper plays bass and is a legendary artist/illustrator who does work for numerous bands, labels and publications such as Arthur, Southern Lord etc. while also playing in other bands such as Under Satans Sun and Mattalama. Pete Vogal plays synth while also jamming in Bow Ribbons, and designs arwork for clothes, David Aron plays drums, is the perpetrator for Little Cakes Gallery, used to skateboard alot, makes rad visual artwork, and jams in USUN with Mark Borthwick and Hisham Bharoocha. Despite these dudes epic resumes, Koi Pond is epic all on its own. Volcano is all about cosmic grooves, deep often minimal, endless repetitions that slowly evolve into more psyched out blissed out trances. Roper and Arons tight rhythmic foundations create the perfect backdrop for Vogals synth improvisations. This is a meditative listen that never gets old, it just keeps grooving on and on forever. Like Neu covering Dark Magus in a Tibetan Monastery. Artwork by Dave Aron, printing by SDReed." -Night People Tapes |

"This is a re release of Meth Teeths Indian Spirits Demo from last summers nationwide tour. Long time Night-People pals, Meth Teeth reside in Portland OR. and in some ways embody the rainy day big country vibe of the city with its youth culture dreamers, old druggies, and rustic history. There is something that is really hard to pin down about Meth Teeth, the songs rely on simple ramshackle rhythms, upbeat shinny guitar interplay, and big fat chord churners, and alot of tambourine banging away on the snare drum. Ultra catchy summertime rockers keep you sad and lonely, and upbeat and hopeful all at once. LP on Woodsist soon. Artwork by SDReed. ." - Night People

Artist: PEAK TWINS/SCOTT AND CHARLENES WEDDING Title: Split Format: LP Label: Night People Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "Night-People presents a very fine split LP by little known Australian bands, Melbournes PEAK TWINS and SCOTT AND CHARLENES WEDDING, who have recently relocated to NYC. This is a co-release with Aussie label Bed Room Suck our friends out of Brisbane and is the first in a string of co-released splits representing some of Australias best bands highlighting the distinct artistic atmopshere and friendships that have made Australian underground music so vibrant right now. Melbourne duo Peak Twins (who share members with KITCHENS FLOOR, BITCH PREFECT, TERRIBLE TRUTHS, etc.) ride the jams and compose their music with utmost attention to well played pop hooks, somber sublte psychedlics, and a general downer dissposition that never gets to heavy but lets the light shine through onto the 60s psych pop flavored jangle and shamble of their great songs. Scott and Charlenes Wedding (who share members with PANEL OF JUDEGES) have a distinct punky jangly guitar pop aesthetic going that is distinctly Aussie and south hemipshere in its sound. They are good mates with rising indie rockers Twerps and have some shared influences but where Twerps keep it a bit more chill and mopey Scott and Charlenes let the angst and grit stick out more. Perfect tunes for dreamy summertime days." - Night People. |

| Silkscreened picture disc. "Tyvek dont need much introduction, Detroit area art punk garage rockers, who have a bunch of killer prior material on labels like Siltbreeze, Subpop, MLadys, X, Whats Your Rupture etc. Absolutely killer stuff here on this delux arted out vinyl reissue of a limited tour cassette. Blunt Intsturmental isnt all insturmental but there is a focus on letting the rythms and noise play out a bit. Whats interesting is that while the sound and insturmentation jam out a bit more it feels even more raw and stripped down then the recent full length LP. A sort of step forward into a more groove oreinted, noisy jammy territory while simultaniously returning to the sound of the early singles. A real raw art punk feel like early Swell Maps or The Fall etc. One of the great bands of these times. " - Night People. |

Artist: WET HAIR/NAKED ON THE VAGUE Title: Split Format: LP Label: Night People Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "A prime split LP from Iowa Citys WET HAIR and NAKED ON THE VAGUE from Sydney Australia. 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. |

| "Yves/Son/Ace is a solo outlet from the Factums/Love Tan camp out of Seattle. Less an experiment in synth noise and drone then the"Cold Showers" Night-People cassette, Parade of Thoughts/Cant Sleep evokes a sort of deconstructed synth pop aesthetic. Druggy, hushed vocals float over vintage rhythm machines, synth noise goop, and lost world music radio tones. Minimal, isolated, deranged, and savage, Yves/Son/Ace is junk pop music for a disconnected world full of detritus and longing. A subtle sound that grows in your skull like fungus on rotting wood." - Night People. |

Though typically of fluctuating dimensions, these recordings from 1992-3 feature only the founding pair, just before the group broadened into the transmedia conglomerate that stands as their legacy. Each vignette unravels gradually into delicate drifts of environmental blur and rustles and screeches, rarely tethered to rhythm for a feel more akin to drifting in and out of consciousness. Knowing that they only got better, its tough to shake how incredibly good they are here." - Twice Zonked. Warehouse find of this 1995 release. |

Artist: BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE Title: Wooden Ball Format: LP Label: NNA Tapes Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Sarah Smith and Zach Phillips, better known as Blanche Blanche Blanche, live by the element of risk. This becomes clear upon listening to their latest full-length record Wooden Ball, where the unpredictability reaches palpable levels. These prolific young masters of harmony from Brattleboro, Vermont have spent the last couple years recording and releasing nearly 10 full-length records worth of brilliant and confounding musical quicksand. Describing it in words can be difficult, but make no mistake that these songs are both highly calculated and drenched in paradox. Manic keyboard lines are pounded out with hyper chops, running circles around octopus basslines. Each progression is seemingly different from the last, showing a simultaneous reverence and destruction of the tonal study. Percussion pads are guided by ruthless polyphony at an intense, hummingbird-paced tempo, with lines and melodies colliding at every junction, clashing and crashing, like the most fluid and elegant car wreck youve never seen. The cutting, topical lyrics and deadpan, bare-bones vocal delivery are wholly original, while undoubtedly fueled by the eternal flame of the punk spirit and DIY ethics. Most importantly, at the heart of the all the technicality lies the warmth of the human element. Wooden Ball, like most BBB, was lovingly recorded to four-track tape, so you can tangibly feel the intention of these spirited musicians. This taps into what seems to be an emerging Vermont-style, evident in other locals artists like Ryan Power, Son of Salami, Chris Weisman, or Happy Jawbone Family Band -- raw, no-rules songwriting, unattached to genre or principal. The revenge of the small town feel, where rock and roll is in the eye of the beholder. There must be something in the syrup. Mastered and cut by Lupo at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin." -NNA. |

Artist: CARLSON, MATT Title: All Moments Format: LP Label: NNA Tapes Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "NNA is proud to present our 50th release, Matt Carlsons All Moments long-playing record. Where 2011s Particle Language LP acted as a study in texture and density within experimental synthesizer music, All Moments finds Carlson engaging with the more traditional musical materials of melody, harmony, and rhythm, calling to mind his work as one half of Portland, OR duo Golden Retriever. The pieces on this record range from shorter pop études to longer, more open improvisatory synth studies, retaining a sense of playfulness and expressiveness within a highly focused and calculated framework. Recorded to four-track cassette and primarily hand-played with very little-to-no auto arpeggiation, All Moments captures an often-overlooked warmth and human quality in electronic music, emphasized further by Carlsons use of modal and tonal vocal studies, electronically transformed by his use of the vocoder. The result is a well-rounded collection of colorful, exuberant electronic music." - NNA Tapes. Full-color printed innersleeve. |

Carrying the tradition of psychedelia into the next age, Decimus weaves dizzying melodies between synth and guitar, ranging from tender to gritty, creating a dense mass of multi-fidelity atmospheres that seem to score a tale of otherworldly travel.

Artist: KESZLER, ELI/KEITH FULLERTON WHITMAN Title: Split Format: LP Label: NNA Tapes Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "NNA is very excited to announce a split LP between world-renowned electronic music composer Keith Fullerton Whitman and multi-instrumentalist composer Eli Keszler. This LP is a conversation in sound between two prominent artists, one working in the electronic realm (Whitman), and the other in the world of live acoustics (Keszler). In fact, Whitmans piece was inspired and created as a direct response to Keszlers signature frenzied percussion style. Both sides of the record are full of incredibly detailed nuance-driven music. These artists work with sound on the microscopic level, deliberately placing each individual molecule of sound in its intended location. Whitmans piece Occlusion is automated machine music warfare, utilizing rhythm as a textural tool, while Keszler uses live percussion, bowed metal, and other acoustics to act as a humanized response to Whitmans machine-regulated assault, solidifying this record as a fantastic document of human vs. machine call and response.

Artist: ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER/RENE HELL Title: Split Format: LP Label: NNA Tapes Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "NNAs second split LP unites two American artists on the cutting edge of experimental electronic music: Brooklyns Oneohtrix Point Never and Los Angeles Rene Hell. Daniel Lopatin and Jeff Witscher have each been working tirelessly in the US underground for the last several years, releasing progressive, forward-thinking, and highly acclaimed music under a wide variety of guises and manifestations. In 2012, we see them each offering their respective unique visions and interpretations of digital music in the modern world, processing the world around us through the lens of technology and modern sound. Oneohtrix Point Never brings us Music For Reliquary House, which consists of sonic reworkings from the Reliquary House audio/visual installation, a collaboration between Lopatin and video artist Nate Boyce. In a series of five pieces, Lopatin delivers a sequence of hallucinatory informatic assaults, a satirical re-envisioning of modernist sculpture. Picking up where 2011s Replica left off, OPN uses digital technology to dissect human speech patterns and timbres almost beyond recognition. Via computer, Lopatin converts pieces of text to human speech, only to dismantle it entirely, surgically reassembling the scraps of frequencies and the shrapnel of pure sound into something new altogether. Starkly melodic at times, but altogether harsh and inhuman as a whole. Rene Hell presents In 1980 I Was a Blue Square, a suite of five pieces for piano, synthesizer, and computer. Juxtaposing mid 20th century classical music with chaotic electronic blasts, Witscher creates his own style of contemporary music that is peaceful and violent on top of itself, creating a rift of confusion that sits nicely between more vast, soundscape-like vignettes. Witschers previous forays into the worlds of noise and ambient are tastefully apparent here, indicative of an artist who is able to retain a broad array of influences and use them in a way that is both personal and original." - NNA Tapes.

This record represents a new direction for Young, as he deviates from trademark aggressive murk-and-misery sounds of his previous works, and instead opts for a queasy, subdued zombie lullaby consisting of bizarre rhythms, synthetic melodies, and almost gamelan-sounding ritual sleepwalking. Featuring an epic closer with contributions from past & present Wolf Eyes members AARON DILLOWAY and JOHN OLSON. This is a record to sit and get absorbed in, a non-linear travel through a different place altogether. Mastered by LUPO at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin." -NNA.

Approximately half a year after visual artist Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven discovered body artist Danny Devos (who sent out inivitations to people to search for him in the International Cultural Centre -the first Flemish contemporary art institute, based in Antwerp- where he hid himself with only a hand of sleeping pills in his pockets), Club Moral was formed on the 1st of January 1981, as a performance group and as an all purpose art space. CM soon became both a pioneering DIY player on the Flemish art scene as an internationally praised Euro noise/power electronics/aktionist duo, by Google-intellectuals often put in one sentence with the Come Organisation, TG and Industrial Records, Con-dom, Le Syndicat, Controlled Bleeding, etc. etc. Their vast network and the publication of their own Force Mental magazine created a steady spew of limited CM cassette releases, compilation contributions (e.g. on the infamous Für Ilse Koch elpee), concerts and exhibitions. The failliet of the flower power ideals was mainly expressed by the extreme nature of the in Force Mental (e.g. a controversial article on Whitehouse and pornographic art work by Peter Sotos) and at the industrial CM space exhibitioned art and held performances (a Boyd Rice/NON show only attended by 35 people, to name one). Altough the taboo breaking flirts with the aestethics of e.g. the New Right only had to do with their amoral vision on the synergy between sound, image, action and space, they were often misunderstood. The fact that after a while there was more input from bar philosophers and neo-fascists than from contemporary artists with a more socially healthy vision, made them stop their living room activitities in the late 80s. AMVK dived into the world of computer art and started to focus even more on her personal investigations concerning feminism and the working brain -which eventually lead to a cultural award by the Flemish Governement, hailing her whole carreer-, while DDV expanded his interest in true art crime, seeing parallels between the psychological processes and modi operandi of serial killers and artists -his letters to and from e.g. John Wayne Gacy are still available online-, and kept on doing performances. A small 90s hiatus aside, CM is still active nowadays as an experimental live act. These seven steps away from social hypochondria were culled from the large body of Club Moral live recordings along some rare compilation tracks, all dating from the 80s. Comes in a pro-printed sleeve - liner notes on the front, "AMVK+DDV being socially hygienic on an Antwerp tram" pic on the back- and with a repress of the 12 page booklet that also accompanied the first 10" and that includes the CM history in the form of an essay by Jan Landuyt, archival photographs and a bunch of literary quotes. One time pressing of 520 copies." -No Basement Is Deep Enough |

Plunging straight into the chasm of ultra-minimalist abrasion and chaotic improv, these two records stand as unrelenting and engrossing epics of guitar feedback, disintegrating electronic sound, string-shredding violin abuse, and other facets of impassioned iconoclasm.

Artist: CLINE, NELS/CARLOS GIFFONI/LEE RANLDO/ALAN LICHT Title: Nothing Makes Any Sense Format: CD Label: No Fun Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "A constantly shifting and engaging long-form piece of developed drone, foreboding melody, and harsh grit, Nothing Makes Any Sense finds Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Nels Cline (Nels Cline Singers, Wilco), and Alan Licht pushing their guitars into a cacophonous state that bears much influence from the post-jazz fields theyve all cut their teeth in, but also bearing down a forceful brutality that has sometimes eluded their past material. While Carlos Giffoni uses his analog Synth mastery to adequately contend and mesh seamlessly with the trio of strings, letting his analog noise pulsate and pierce with its own sense of contained stampede. This collaboration was recorded in February of this year at the sadly-defunct NYC venue Tonic and was mixed and mastered by the ubiquitous James Plotkin. Included with the packaging are ink drawings from Lee Ranaldo and a review of Lou Reeds live classic Rock N Roll Animal by cult musician/Creem scribe Peter Laughner, which includes a line which bestowed this album with its title." - No Fun. |

Artist: DEMONS Title: Evocation Format: CD Label: No Fun Country: USA Price: $12.00 |

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

Legendary Japanese noise masters Incapacitants and Pain Jerk performed for the first time ever in the US at No Fun Fest 2007, this CD include crystal clear board recordings of their sets, mastered for full audio brutality. If you havent had the pleasure of experiencing either of this acts live this is your chance, if you have then this is also your chance to re-experience two of the most amazing live performers of our time. Liner notes by Carlos Giffoni and Chris Goudreau (Sickness). Incapacitants began in 1981 as Toshiji Mikawas solo project in Osaka, where Mikawa collaborated with Yamatsuka Eye and others. Later, in Tokyo, Fumio Kosakai became a member, to form the current duo. From the beginning, while the attempt to achieve pure NOISE has been the most important aspect of their sound, they have also been famous for their stage performances, which are so wild they may remind people of pro wrestling matches. This aggressive, energetic style and the beauty of their NOISE are unrivaled. Along with Hijo Kaidan, Merzbow, C.C.C.C., and Solmania, Incapacitants is one of the most well known of the NOISE bands which started out in the early 80s. Because of the members other work (Mikawa is a bank employee, and Kosakai works in a government office) they have rarely toured inside or outside Japan. Pain Jerk is a noise music unit run by Japanese musician Kohei Gomi. Pain Jerk was one of the more prolific and influential noise artists of the 1990s, and is one of the leading figures in the "dynamic" style of Japanese noise, alongside acts such as Merzbow and Kazumoto Endo." -No Fun. |

Keeping pace between two laptops and an amplified sheet-metal instrument, the walls of computerized droning distortion and psyched-out metallic scarping easily reminded those attending to the world of noise that even icons with twenty-plus year careers under their belts can still vivaciously channel the advancements they helped build as well as compose stunning untried sounds. Along with the recent Pain Jerk/Incapacitants split CD and the upcoming Aaron Dilloway/Carlos Giffoni split LP, Live Destruction at No Fun 2007 manifests itself as an essential audio document of one of many striking performances at this years festival. Often considered a genre best experienced live, the gargantuan walls of outer-region sonics set forth by noise were aptly spawned in-the-moment and afresh by their performers, and the variety, sheer power, and unrelenting confidence of Merzbows set in particular no doubt left longtime followers thoroughly fulfilled while those whove only heard the name thrown around in mythical regard were bound to have been left with a hearty appreciation of his genius.

"Oneohtrix Point Nevers Rifts trilogy comprises Daniel Lopatins first three full length records - Betrayed in the Octagon, Zones Without People, and Russian Mind. The Rifts trilogy travels from the outside-in, beginning with the dark space sonatas of Octagon, down through the mechanized vistas of Zones and completing itself with the haunting electronic animus of Russian Mind. This journey is underscored with a natural growth which sees Lopatin developing his unabashed worship of the analog poly-synth as a free standing musical apparatus towards a fully realized OPN world of sound; at once incorporating synth prog, modern noise, early techno, drone, minimalism and computer music. With Rifts it is possible to zoom out on the OPN project and recognize Lopatin as both an auteur and alchemist; achieving a signature sound while drawing on a buried history of electronic music. The double disc includes all 3 albums in its entirety (originally released on limited edition vinyl only) as well as selections from rare and out of print cassette and CD-R releases, with recordings spanning as far back as 2003. Fully re-mastered for digital audio by James Plotkin, art by Tom Scholefield." -No Fun

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 |

| "Ira Cohen was born in New York, NY on February 3rd, 1935. He is the son of the late Lester Cohen and the late Faye Cohen. Mr. Cohen was an innovative and original poet, photographer, filmmaker, publisher, and editor. A self-described "Electronic Multimedia Shaman", he was an active humanist from the 1960s to the present. Mr. Cohen was educated at Horace Mann, Cornell and Columbia. He spent the early 1960s in Tangier, Morocco, where he lived and worked with William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Paul Bowles. While there, he prepared his first major work; editing and publishing the anthology Gnaoua (1964). This volume contained work by William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Jack Smith, and others. In the late 1960s, along with Bill Devore he developed and perfected a photography process in his "Mylar Chamber", producing distorted, iconic photographic portraits of Jimi Hendrix, Jack Smith, Robert LaVigne, Angus MacLise, Pharaoh Sanders, and William S. Burroughs, among others. In 1968 he made his first film, The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda, a baroque, underground experimental film. The following year he produced the experimental film Paradise Now in Amerika, documenting the Living Theatres 1968 tour. In the 1970s he lived in Kathmandu, Nepal, and operated the publishing house Bardo Matrix, publishing books and broadsheets on handmade rice paper by authors including Gregory Corso, Charles Henri Ford, Paul Bowles and Angus MacLise, as well as several books of his own such as Gilded Splinters and The Cosmic Crypt, illustrated by Petra Vogt. After returning to New York City in the early 1980s, he continued to write and publish poetry as well as stage exhibitions of his photography. In 1986, he directed the film Kings With Straw Mats, a documentary about the Kumbh Mela festival, Indias annual pilgrimage and gathering of sadhus and holy men, which premiered in 1996. His primary work since the early 1990s was as a poet and editor; he edited numerous books (Jack Smiths Historical Treasures, Gustav Meyrinks Petroleum Petroleum, and poetry anthologies Shamanic Warriors and Celestial Graffiti) and periodicals (Ins & Outs, Third Rail, Nexus, and 15 Minutes). Mr. Cohen was a participating artist in the Whitney Biennial 2006, Day for Night, which included his photographs of Jack Smith. In the last years of his life, in increasingly declining health, Mr. Cohen gave local poetry readings and received a steady stream of visitors to his home on 106th Street, where the widest possible array of friends and admirers would listen for hours as he would tell stories, read poems and cast insights."

Artist: HOKE, RUSSELL Title: The Magic of My Youth Format: Double LP Label: No Label Country: USA Price: $38.00 |
| "When Russell Hoke first set out to put out a record - a decade or so back - he did it with the simple idea of just having a copy for himself to play on his old record player. He pressed up 100 of the now long gone "Cosmic Outlaw" and then, with no real plan in place for distributing it, he simply started donating them to charity shops and second hand shops in the area Johnny Appleseed style. Some years went by and, once again, Russell had the impulse to get more of his music back on record - again so he could have a copy to play on his record player. Thus was born "The Magic of My Youth"- an out of nowhere double lp of warped real people outsider banjo & singin folk comprised of twisted moans, surreal meditations and inverse field hollers that were mostly recorded throughout the mid-1980s. Russell pressed these up in an edition of 100 copies and packaged them in a gatefold jacket with hand pasted front and back covers.

Artist: HYPE WILLIAMS Title: Do Roids and Kill Erything Format: 7" Label: No Label Country: UK Price: $12.00 |
|
"New 3 track EP from Hype Williams. Ooovrrr melts Drakes vocals down to a syrupy slur and lays over a snappy lo-fi beat, heavy on the 1s and 3s, as some wavering synths play off each other in a haze. Rescue Dawn III drags an early 90s jungle bassline down to a snails pace. A super melted vocal refrain, a VHS quality synth line and hiss-drenched bass form a something that could loosely be referred to as dub. The b-side is an alternate take on Sades The Sweetest Taboo – a beautiful version envisioned through the heroin haze that the lyrics evoke.
No group is absorbing and filtering pop culture quite like Hype Williams. A truly unique project.
Features artwork by Ed Lehan. Limited edition of 500 copies."

Artist: LEON, CRAIG Title: Nommos Format: LP Label: No Label Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
"CRAIG LEON, producer of late 70s albums by Suicide and Blondie among many others, recorded two solo records in the early 80s of proto-techno minimalist drone, including NOMMOS, for John Faheys Takoma label. Long considered a classic of electronic and cosmic music, as well as being a total anomaly for Takoma, NOMMOS is an album that sounds as if it could have been produced any time from its actual conception in 1981, up until the present. A pure mass of eye blinding expanse set adrift into the world. One time pressing, paste on front and back covers."
"Most people should recognize the name of this artist. However, most people will recognize the name of this artist when its paired with a production credit, not as...well, the artist. Craig Leon is, of course, one of the seminal NYC punk/New Wave producers who brought us so many excellent things from that scene, ranging from Suicide to Blondie. And hes continued his production work on up to the present day, of course. Still, very few people know about the electronic albums hes made himself. And thats a shame, because theyre fine, fine drone-a-delic stuff. Especially his first, "Nommos". Used as a soundtrack for a dance work by Twila Tharp (as was a lot of nifty NYC stuff from this general period), "Nommos" is supposedly based on African rhythms and the like. But really, its always reminded me more of some sort of missing link between the proto-industrial rhythm and drone of Suicide and the whole minimalist drone/static/repetition method as in Terry Riley, LaMonte Young, etc. Youve got the rhythm generator thing going on. Youve got the synthdrones. Youve got the constant repetition. The whole hypnotic but not necessarily relaxing vibe. Much of the album uses the nifty-but-simple trick of comb filtering to make the drums/rhythm box ring on a certain pitch. And then over this, Leon builds up layers of more drones. And more. And even more. And then sometimes, as in "Donkeys Bearing Cups", also adds a bunch of evil, headwarping processing to this. End result: hypno-brainmelt. On the first side of this, both "Ring..." and "Donkeys..." are fairly fast-paced affairs, constantly rhythmically pulsing, droning, buzzing...like the discoid equivalent of some mutation of LaMonte Youngs "The Tortoise, His Dreams and Journeys" pieces. But "Nommo" slows things way down, with this discontinuous, jerky, almost bluesy-type beat, over which everything just slowly builds chordally, like some weird heat-mirage architecture. Its a serious eyes-roll-back-in-head sort of thing...blissy, hypnotic...off in a kosmische sort of zone, but at the same time not really having that kosmische sound to it. Side two kicks off with a harsh, bzzzaaating rhythm, also jerky, and incomplete-sounding. But in this case, instead of building up a chord, Leon builds the components of the rhythm pattern. One bit here, another bit off in the reverb zone out there somewhere, and so on as this insectoid buzz-hum starts to key up and ripple away, a bit disquietingly perhaps. Then a voice...an actual voice, yes...and then another, joins this, sometimes tunelessly, making odd birdcall-like sounds, ahhs, wails, vocal line fragments, and so on. Whoevers doing this isnt credited, but I can say that it reminds me some of Meredith Monks primal-vocal type work. Eerie, spacy...quite trippy. Then BAM!!! suddenly were dropped without warning into the fast, frantic rhythm-box groove of "She Wears a Hemispherical Skull Cap". Its abrupt, almost startling, because you get locked into the former and chucked headlong into this. But as a chordal, hymnlike polysynth starts to arch over this, you just sit back and go yeahhhh.... as the dronebliss just washes over you in one long I-chord being played out and with. Theres things here that, like I said, remind one straightaway of Suicide. But its never really as abrasive an experience as Martin Revs great work with that duo. Instead, its more blissed-out. You could also draw some comparisons with some of the more motorik Kraut stuff; theres a sonic kinship here with, say, Clusters "Zuckerzeit". But its the obvious minimal/drone school linkages that really draw things together here, from the buzzdrone beats to the washing chords and hummmmmmmming synths. Head music? Oh, yes...yes, indeedy. But also, the sort of head music that anyone with an astute ear for an electronic beat can gravitate to. As for where to get this these days...no idea. Its odd that Takoma, which is usually known for folk-type releases, put this out, because its about as antithetical to a folksy-sounding record as one can get. But its very much worth hunting down if youre into the robotiker groove-trance brainhum sound its got." - Julian Cope. Very highly recommended! SOLD OUT

Artist: MUEHL, OTTO Title: Psycho Motorik Format: LP Label: No Label Country: Europe Price: $18.00 |
| "Otto Muehl is an Austrian convicted child molester, who is best known as one of the co-founders as well as the most exciting participant of Viennese Actionism. Hes the sort of guy who might fuck a swan, and then scream a little poem about it. In the sixties his aim was to overcome painting on canvas through staging the process of its destruction. He made rhizomatic structures with scrap iron (Gerümpelplastiken), but soon proceeded to the Aktion in the vein of the New York Happenings. Gradually, Muehl began to distance himself from Aktion. He regarded the happening as a bourgeois artform, mere art. This is an exact reproduction of his 1971 Psycho Motorik LP, which documents that very departure." |

Artist: NOTHING, CHARLIE Title: The Psychedelic Saxophone Of Charlie Nothing Format: LP Label: No Label Country: Price: $19.00 |

Charlie Nothing was the fractured-psyche pseudonym of author, organic farmer, beekeeper and philosopher/clown Charles Martin Simon, inventor of the dingulator (guitar sculptures made out the metal from American cars). The Psychedelic Saxophone Of Charlie Nothing made a minor splash in the European free jazz melting pot upon its initial release, but the albums non-dingulating psych sax improvisation, accompanied by gong, conga drum and banjo (supposedly borrowed from Tiny Tim), is highly sought-after by the adventurous and heavily medicated.

Like the legendary poet/musician for whom this album is named, Pelt have never gotten hung up on the epistemology of drones. The generation of meditative trance states is as valid when produced by Roscoe Holcombs banjo as by La Monte Youngs well-tuned piano. Hints of both lurk deep in the wells of sound Pelt produces. Two side-long slabs of aural bliss. Best heard behind a few bowls of your very best kif. Edition of 500 with stickered cover and insert." |

Artist: DNA Title: DNA on DNA Format: CD Label: No More Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "New Yorks seminal No Wave band, DNA, makes its highly anticipated American CD debut with this definitive collection of studio and live recordings. Surviving two line ups over a brief four years; this highly influential, strikingly original and extremely under recorded band left a huge void in its wake. Formed in 1978, Brazilian raised singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay hastily assembled an international trio of non-musicians. Robin Crutchfield played keyboard and Japanese-born Ikue Mori played drums. DNA played their first gig within weeks and recorded their first 7" shortly afterwards. The ear of Brian Eno was quickly caught, recording them for the infamous No New York compilation alongside James Chance, Mars, and Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. Before No New York was released, Robin left the band after a total tenure of nine months. Bassist Tim Wright had just left Pere Ubu, relocated to NY and quickly joined DNA. With a new face, a new instrument and a new sound, DNA recorded their classic nine minute EP A Taste Of DNA . DNA toured the States and Europe bringing their explosive live show to a wider audience. DNA only released 12 songs during its lifetime, and another 3 shortly afterwards on a european compilation. Their impact was far and wide reaching. Many musicians have sited DNA as a main influence including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and the band Blonde Redhead, who appropriated their name from a DNA song title. This CD compiles all of the studio and many choice live recordings. Of particular interest are the original lineups early versions of Detached, 5:30 and Low (which is closely related to A New Low.) The unreleased studio tracks Grapefruit, Police Chase and Young Teenagers Talk Sex are heard here for the first time as well as live versions of the unreleased songs Nearing and Surrender.

Artist: DNA Title: DNA On DNA Format: Double LP Label: No More Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Previously released on CD by No More Records, now issued on a limited edition 2LP featuring newly-discovered songs exclusive to this LP: "Pompeii," "Shrinking Thing," "Drinking Water," plus two encores from DNAs final performance at CBGBs. Definitive collection of studio and live recordings by New Yorks seminal no wave band DNA. Surviving two line-ups over a brief period of four years; this highly influential, strikingly original and extremely under-recorded band left a huge void in its wake. Formed in 1978, Brazilian-raised singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay hastily assembled an international trio of non-musicians. Robin Crutchfield played keyboard and Japans Ikue Mori played drums. DNA played their first gig within weeks and recorded their first 7" shortly afterwards. The ear of Brian Eno was quickly caught, recording them for the infamous No New York compilation alongside James Chance, Mars, and Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. Before No New York was released, Robin left the band after a total tenure of nine months. Bassist Tim Wright had just left Pere Ubu, relocated to NY and quickly joined DNA. With a new face, a new instrument, and a new sound, DNA recorded their classic 9-minute EP A Taste Of DNA. DNA toured the States and Europe, bringing their explosive live show to a wider audience. DNA only released 12 songs during its lifetime, and another 3 shortly afterwards on a European compilation. Their impact was far and wide-reaching. Many musicians have sited DNA as a main influence including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and the band Blonde Redhead, who appropriated their name from a DNA song title. This LP compiles all of the studio and many choice live recordings. Of particular interest are the original line-ups "early versions" of "Detached," "5:30" and "Low" (which is closely related to "A New Low"). The unreleased studio tracks "Grapefruit," "Police Chase" and "Young Teenagers Talk Sex" are heard here for the first time, as well as live versions of the unreleased songs "Nearing" and "Surrender." Featuring exclusive liner notes from Byron Coley, Jason Gross and Glenn OBrien alongside many unseen photos and flyers housed in a gatefold sleeve." -No More |

Artist: MARS Title: Mars LP: The Complete Studio Recordings NYC 1977-1978 Format: CD Label: No More Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "The Mars LP is the definitive collection of the 32 minutes of studio recordings released between 1977 and 1979 on vinyl by the first of the no wave bands. Supervised by the surviving members, remastered from original sources without any added effects, and packaged with detailed notes and lyrics, the Mars LP is an effort to recuperate the groups legacy and make up for the unavailability of these tracks in their original sound." "Static transmissions from a distant dark star. Taking up and tripping out further than the Velvet Undergrounds Black Angel Death Song , Mars punished not with blunt force, but with a propulsive agitation which signaled a neurological insanity. A crippled tension swathed in nervous friction. A cavernous musical universe riddled with eerie sound storms whose poisoned atmosphere seduced and threatened. Obtuse and unforgiving. Sickly sexy. Red noise redefining bass urges, forcing the listener to question their own sanity by drilling into ear holes using electroshock guitars as saw blades trepanning into grey matter. Mars unleashed a choking cacophony illustrating the body as machine in disrepair fuelled by the impending repulsion and disintegration of a perverse romance with ones own demons. Demons who once wrenched free, made mimicry of the jangling nerve centers, and given voice as song, turned schizophrenic and howled these testimonials to the unbearable." -- Lydia Lunch. "[note: Mars LP is the title, but this is a CD only release]. Includes their first single on Rebel/Ze, the No New York tracks, the Mars EP on Lust/Unlust -- their complete discography. This CD should be considered as an alternative to the still-valid Mars 78+ CD on Atavistc -- this one features all the original recordings as intended, with all the Thirlwell sound reprocessing of the Atavistic CD eliminated." - FE. |

Artist: FOREST SWORDS Title: Dagger Paths Format: CD Label: No Pain In Pop Country: UK Price: $15.00 |
|
"FOREST SWORDS make a textured, gauzy music as indebted to the Liverpool regions rich musical heritage as it is to the bleak-yet-beautiful coastal environment from which it was born. The result is something completely organic, sounding like a dancehall mix of Mogwais more luscious soundscapes, Burials sample-strewn claustrophobia, and Ennio Morricones spaghetti western scores. The records sweaty and thunderous dub grooves and cavernous guitar licks rub shoulders with RnB shuffles, dread-soaked percussion, and heady drones to create a visceral and epic sound. Dagger Paths consists of specially remastered versions of songs from the out-of-print cassette singles Miarches and Glory Gongs, along with brand new tracks." - No Pain In Pop.

"Cincinnati native C. Spencer Yeh has been releasing records under the Burning Star Core moniker since 1993. A classically trained violinist, Yeh is the center of the amorphous free noise group whose past collaborators have included: Comets on Fire, Hototogisu, Chris Corsano and Thurston Moore. Operator Dead... finds BxC as an extremely loud four piece who waste no time and get right down to business creating massive, looping, head-splitting drones and titanic walls of sound. Calculated and controlled; the intensity builds and builds only to crash down into free-noise, psychedelic fury -- sounding something like the universe imploding in on itself, only captured inside a run-down Kentucky recording space." -No Quarter.

Spencer Yeh, the lone constant of the long-running Burning Star Core project, conceptualized Papercuts Theater: one long piece (broken into four movements) culled from over sixty live performances, spanning years and continents.

Earthworm finds the band further integrating their love of late seventies/early eighties metal with the circular Kraut-influenced psych that has become their trademark. The songs on Earthworm are heavy and dense with guitar riffs that shred, backed by the intense and hypnotic rhythm section of bassist Jussi Lehtisalo and drummer Tomi Leppanen. The band has invited Bruce Duff (singer of the legendary LA band Jesters of Destiny) to contribute vocals on three tracks." - No Quarter. |

With one of the worlds best drummers; the magnificent Chris Corsano (Vampire Belt, Death Unit, Vampire Cant, etc.) and one of the UKs prime improvisers Michael Flower (of the Vibracathedral Orchestra) on Japanese banjo this was always going to be something special, but really just how intense these two tracks are is almost impossible to put into words. Anyone who has seen the duo perform live might have an inkling of the kind of heady psychedelic experience their music drags out of you, and on The Undisputed Dimension their shows are truncated to just ten minutes of music." - No-Fidelity.

This album was arguably their finest moment ... Creeds searing, heavily FX-laden guitar and Edges eerie Moog and vocals, underpinned by metallic drums, came together to create what could have become a radical new departure point for a nascent form of post-rock." -The Wire; "One of my Personal Top 25 albums of all time, this is certainly one of those records you can keep returning to and find new things buried in all those layers of ZOUND." -Julian Cope. |

Artist: CHROME Title: Third From The Sun Format: CD Label: Noiseville Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "Noiseville is very proud to have the chance to reissue these absolutely must-have traces of interstellar psych perfection from San Franciscos legendary Chrome. The sound was beefed up, and each was repackaged with the original art from their initial release back in the early 80s. These 3 albums (Alien Soundtracks, Half Machine Lip Moves, Third From The Sun) are classics and should never have gone out-of-print. But due to fighting within the band, these CDs will not be repressed and most unfortunately, the LP counterparts never made it past the test pressing stage, until the dispute has been settled by the courts, this is it." Third From The Sun was originally released on Siren Records in 1982, right before the bands break-up, with Damon Edge and Helios Creed chuddering out creepy post-garage industrial murk. Third From The Sun sounds more conventional rock than their prior releases, while still maintaining the garbage-y, weird-space psychonaut vibe that would be their trademark. Grinding guitars, terrifyingly creepazoid vocals, and a bass that sounds like rocks thudding off of someones head." -Noiseville |

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

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

It was used on albums by Terry Riley, Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, to name a few artist. I used two reel-to-reel tape decks placed about a foot apart, though you can set different distances to control the loop timing. This was all done in real time by starting the recording on deck 1, playing it back on deck 2 feeding the signal back to deck 1 carefully keeping the recording level stable, all the while adding new music and letting old music fade out. This image from the back cover of Brian Enos Discreet vinyl album illustates how this works. I used the Crumar Organ as the only instrument, adding different riffs and themes as it developed. Then I did the final master using a tape delay for the movement between tracks and a synthesizer for the ocean sounds.

I mixed the four tracks to a Teac A-6300 Master 2-Track using a DeltaLab DL-2 to create the delay track. In 2006, I used a Tascam 34B 4-track to remaster all my master tapes to digital master of 196 KHz/24 bit .WAV files using Soundforge 8 software. The original Wizards LP was published in the Summer of 1982 with the black and white cover. The initial tracks had not names and were call Movements I-V. Several years later sales had slowed down, in an effort to improve sales we tried the color cover and I created names for each track.." - North Star. |

This recently unearthed and meticulously restored series compliments our previous trio of early Sun Ra rarities." - Norton Records. "Our third volume of Sun Ra spoken word opens with a rare space story that I discovered on an unmarked five inch reel of tape. When I played the recording, I discovered an incredible story recited by an unknown artist, with Sun Ra going beyond the call of duty on keyboard. Included are two complete lengthy performances from this 1967 session.... The group recitation, The Outer Darkness, is a reworking of the poem I Seek A Better World originally recited by Ray Stubbs on the first volume.... We close this interplanetary poetry series with an extended piece, The Cosmic Visitor, incorporating This Is My Day, The Scheme Of Words, Black Holes In Space, and A Better World, performed live on-air on April 11, 1977 at radio station WXPN-FM... Sun Ras poetic incantations are accompanied by percussive musical arrangements or by a deliberate organ soundtrack, working with the rhythm of his words." - Michael D.

Artist: LYD)2 Title: Elefanta Poteket Bukentaur Format: 7" Label: Norway Rat Country: NORWAY Price: $5.50 |
| "If like me you sometimes wish to have your dusted fuzz rock built up around melodic structures youll find this little piece of pink vinyl very enjoyable. The a-side is the most intensely rocking one, starting out like an uncontrollable volcano of raw, pounding Dead C-esque noise before gradually keys are brought into the mix and distinctly slow things down to something very repetitive and hypnotic. To a large extent, that comes from the drum playing which is excellent throughout, very heavy and rhythmic but somehow seems more inspired by jazz and Krautrock than of classic rock. The b-side is more jam-like, combining powerful drumming with guitars and electronics into a tidal wave of sound where every instrument is clearly visible yet obviously a part of something much bigger. This is an impressive debut that comes recommended both to fans of throb rock, post-rock and of the heavier side of things Krautish." - Mats Gustafson (Broken Face). |

Artist: CHICO MAGNETIC BAND Title: Chico Magnetic Band Format: CD Label: Nosmoke Country: Portugal Price: $24.00 |
| "Chico Magnetic Bands eponymous album, released by French Vogue subsidiary Box Office label in 1971, defines the term heavy Psychedelia. These bunch of freaks, lead by Algerian born Mahmoud Chico Ayari were clearly influenced by the Jimi Hendrix Experience but somehow they created a song of their own: violent, trashy, stoned as hell heavy psych featuring demented vocals, furious guitars, loud rhythm section and mindblowing studio effects including phasing, backward tapes, weird and groovy electronics. Eight killer tracks including their insane fuzzed-out deconstruction of Hendrixs Crosstown Traffic and cult classics like Pop Pull Hair, Explosion, Pop Orbit. This reissue includes a good number of bonus tracks (a total of 8 on the CD making their complete recordings). Features an insert with full band story and rare photos. Edition of 600 papersleeve CDs." -Nosmoke |

Artist: NGOZI FAMILY Title: 45,000 Volts Format: LP Label: Nosmoke Country: Portugal Price: $31.00 |

The Ngozi Family (Ngozi means danger, and dangerous is their music indeed!) were also the band backing for Chrissy Tembo on his now well-known My Ancestors album. They released this one in 1977, and youll be amazed when you hear it if youre somehow into Hendrix, Black Sabbath, heavy psychedelia or Afro psych-rock. Most of the tracks on the LP follow that direction, and the rest enter the Afrobeat sound -- but most of it is fuzzy, heavy psych-rock as you can expect. This release has a surprising high quality sound and is limited to 600 copies only. One of the rarest rock albums of the whole world!!! Get it while you can!!!" -Nosmoke. |

If you were raving on Cazumbi Vol. 1, wait to hear the second. I swear, its much, MUCH better than the first! Absolutely stunning collection of 21 tracks, ranging from the more sophisticatedly produced (but hell, WILD!!!!) fuzzy garage sounds of South African groups like The Gonks, Birds of a Feather, Them or The Invaders, to the primitive raw garage, beat and jerk of Tall Emma & His Skipper (from Ghana with their killer Hammatan), Vum Vum and Os Rocks from Angola, Les Kilts from Cameroun, Les Safari and Les Jokers from Madagascar, and a good number of Mozambique combos.

A mix betwen ye ye, garage and hallucinated experimental rock. Evariste is probably one of the most interesting musicians from the French 60s rock scene, though maybe too weird to have really had that recognition from the public and media at the time! And Michel Colombier is involved in these recordings too! This first time ever reissue of his works includes his complete discography, thats two EPs and one single.

Artist: BURIAL HEX Title: Six Wings Format: LP Label: Nostilevo Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Burial Hex is Clay Ruby. Sometime around 4 or 5 years ago, I asked Clay to submit a track to a compilation which never saw the light of day. As the compilation reached some pit falls, Clays recording went missing and the release went to a staggering halt. Later, re-enamored of the idea of tying up loose ends, I asked if Clay potentially had another copy of the recording handy and if he would mind sending it back to me, as a release for a one-sided 12". He did. However, instead of providing the original, Clay decided to re-work the track to fill in gaps of time which needed to be covered since the project had left off. Later, I found the original version of the recording, and upon discussion, that one-sider became an LP. While both sides share distinct familiarities, they are different environments, albeit contained within a single terrifying shell of thought & practice. Side A begins with a grinding oscillation (soon finding itself a familiar trait of the LP), whilst simultaneously utilizing an immensely large, low-end crumbling sound. As the record travels, the atmosphere of this is such, by the sheer force of its massive nature, turned into a suffocatingly bleak piece of droning industrial electronics. While Side B begins familiarly, it quickly courses to a wavelength of torturous acceptance; Organics throned in minimal space mold a (comparatively) subtle path through its remainder. Open space allowing room to catch a quick breath before continuing to dig the hole. I am proud to say/feel that this is a monumentally crushing 45rpm experience, which perfectly illustrates what I picture as eternal limbo.

Smoke Dogg. as a founding member of Demons, Steve has become greater recognized over the past few years for his dirty synth and tape delay performance style exclusive to his own. his limited output began with a C30 for Nurse Etiquette in 2009, followed by various collaborations with Chris Pottinger, Heath Moerland (together as Slither), & Andrew Coltrane, + a myriad of limited cassette titles. "Live Lex" is his first piece of vinyl, and additionally, "Live Lex" is also one of the least pretty & welcoming synth records I have ever heard. a record that is clearly intended for a dark nite, from what maybe was a dark nite. brings to mind select works of Maurizio Bianchi, Franciso Lopez, & Asmus Tietchens, however this record does not mimic; Steves sound is one of his own. very stark, yet without a limited scope; exceptionally full synth accents through an extremely dense fog clatter; that of the pro-one death sound. Here, listen to Steve find true uncharted darkness within his vices." - Nostilevo. |

 "Every year to commemorate the Carnaval of Santiago, my Cuban buddy Fortunado constructs this enormous structureve hollowed out flan in his back yard n then invites bands what to come play inside. Is am always surprised the thing never gets ate down (at the end theys douse it w/brandy, then set it ablaze) but thats another story. So this time someones called K-9 Sniffies & Roach Clip was the featured acts. Now Is have to come clean n say I didnt see neither ofem. Was way in the thickve of judgin a serious cachete taco eatin contest. And them Cristals was goin down like water too. Plus anytime I gets close to that flan hut I just feel all custardy. No thanks! Word was theys was both top notch. Always a plus. Anyhow, at some point in the evenin I seen Fortunados wife, Yanela, fannin herself w/this Roach Clip record. She looked pretty relaxed & maybe not a little too familiar w/the pitcherve sangria plopped down right in frontve her. She spied me makin my way, stood, smiled & breathed a sigh of relief. "Ah, senor Woodbean, eh, the band, they want for you to have they record. So was for me to keep. My favor, you know? As music.......I am not so sure, but for, eh, ventilador, is most useful. Here", she thrust the record into my hand, "now is no more for me to look after. And I must go, wait for you has made me to starve. Lead me to the sesos! I can smell them frying. Or perhaps that is you, eh, Woodbutt"? With that she threw her head back n laughed. It sounded like a hyena bein impaled on a pike. Thank heavens she werent much ever in a good mood. Them jolliesd curdle milk. Despite Yanelas opinion, as music goes, this Roach Clip ep is a doozy. And w/a title like Al Pastor, is most prescient too. Its a rollickin ride through a panaceave frizzled audio crackle. Not unlike the Meat Puppets, 15 minutes after sheddin theys skin of the eponymous 1st lp but still burnt from that peyote scorch. Or maybe the Godz, lost somewhere in them 10 matrix numbers between Contact High & Godz 2, sortin it out through a Dubonnet hookah. Either way you bake it what yous got here is sounds as crisp as a chicharron gordita.So let your ears inhale." - Siltblog. Second pressing in new sleeves (pictured).

| "Shit is cliché, but ya cant fight the fact that time changes EVERYTHING (or wait, maybe its money?). Either way: were pretty old but not so old weve forgotten the cradle days of early Abe Vigoda shows when they only liked Smashing Pumpkins, short shorts, and boating shoes, and their sets were short spiky blasts of post-Unwound lo-fi outsider-punk (a la the Sky Route/Star Roof LP). That was a long time ago. But like all good bands the Vigodans have re-invented themselves a half dozen times over since then, and its been a totally rad ride to witness the evolution/transformation, especially since their journeys culminated in the total sparkling tropic magic sunbath of Skeleton, the best AV record ever. Years of fiddling with delay pedal settings and intricate bass/drums equations somehow resulted in a weird, bright, upbeat island punk sound thats as catchy and life-affirming as it is tripped-out and overwhelming. Who knew? Catch these die-hards at a show in yr neck of the woods any day now; they are now on PERMA-TOUR. Pro-dubbed cassettes in a ⿿Columbia Records-style super legit J-card. Edition of 200.

2011 repress, limited to 300 copies; originally a 2008 release. "Since first bearing witness to Barn Owls mythically desolate amplifier alchemy last year, weve been rabid fans/fanatics. But like lots of badass bands, BO are a rolling stone, heavy on the transformation tip, and the BO of today is an altered beast from the one that folkily fingerpicked Bridge To The Clouds and their self-titled disc way back when. And in case were not being clear: this is a beautiful thing. From Our Mouths A Perpetual Light burns with the sun-dead majesty of a Death Valley burial ground, all wasted waterless expanse and cracked earth smoke blowing in the dry wind. Heavy western drone revelations bleed into forlorn guitar drift, downcast percussion plods across the plain, a skull on its side lies in the sands. Evan Caminiti and Jon Porras have somehow flawlessly evolved Barn Owl into a blazing new universe, and From Our Mouths is the first mission statement from their new spectral/aesthetic outpost, a stunning and timeless eight-song suite of grim cinematic electricity. Tune in, drop dead, rot on. In swank matte jackets with four-armed demon warrior-yogi artwork by the band." - Not Not Fun.

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

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

Psychical is Pyles freshest full-length and easily his most drugged and dense. Thick, humid banks of synth-fog descend over looped cult hand-drum patterns, strangely panned waves of brainwash tones, and snippets of third world voices mumbling about blood and marijuana. As the name half-jokingly implies, EE is 100% Pyles creation instrument-wise, although his wife Phoenix does intone some possessed doom poetry over the crushing war drums of Forever Eyes and Tom Carter (of Charalambides) cameos with some searing white light guitar shrapnel on the creep-out raga of Real Things. All the pieces dissolve into one another, giving Psychical a dark-trip soundtrack mood, an upriver lost soul convoy into hostile off-radar territories, a thousand spectral voices misting down like blackening monsoon clouds. A total haunter, and an LP weve been spinning many midnights around NNF HQ. Black vinyl LPs in jackets with occult VHS artwork by Manda Beth Brown. Edition of 470." -Not Not Fun |

Artist: ETHER ISLAND Title: Season of Risk Format: 7" Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $7.00 |
|
"Among the legions of bands weve worked with that have died natural (or unnatural) deaths, MYTHICAL BEAST was a particularly lament-worthy casualty. Fortunately phoenixes rise, creative energies get repurposed and reharnessed, and whats gone is not always lost. So it is that singer/kettle drummer CORINNE SWEENEY and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist JEREMIAH COWLIN abandoned Philly for the Nowheresville of Coyote, New Mexico to live off the grid with other address-less culture renegades and be reborn as post-apocalyptic grunge-drone doom-soul duo ETHER ISLAND. A Side opener "Season Of Risk" corrals a mud-flood of thick tectonic shred over a buried beat, Sweeneys vox tearing through in hot red flashes like a prairie flash fire (tonally, its total 4-Track Demos-era PJ, raw and sensual). "Be Light" vibrates more vertically, rising like a smoke signal, a threatening cloud of raga strings and delay-stretched witch-blues vox. "Black Wind Way" deathmarches across the entirety of the B, plodding like a dying mule over parched plains, tremolo guitar hatcheting down, a single funereal organ melody threading over the sands and into the silence. Three singular statements from two old favorites on this one perfect nomad-psych slab. Black vinyl 7 inches in color-photocopied covers, with art/design by EL. Edition of 325." -Not Not Fun.

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

But artists -- in case you didnt know -- aint easily satisfied, and so Dylan felt compelled to return to the master tapes and further articulate the new age sci-fi ambient drift jazz vision of those pieces into something even grander and more elegant. Sounded like a worthwhile cause to us, so heres New Age Outlaws: The Directors Cut, mastered fresh for vinyl and bedazzled with new layers of robot noir synth lines, back alley cyber sax, and insomniac drum machine heartbeats.

Feeders of Ravens is definitely the most potent collection of harsh jazz violence the duos ever laid to tape, showcasing all their classic kill-moves: slaughtering saxophone dialogues, jittery percussive fits, raging horn/drum self-annihilation, etc. What escalates their improv attacks above just blind frenzy is the warped telepathy Jacob Heule and Jay Korber exhibit in their playing, wordlessly intuiting one anothers energy upswings and downturns. And nowhere is this psychic connection more apparent (and demonic) than on "Raven Harvest, the LPs final onslaught. Searing sax blasts burn through the ear drum, giving way to splatter paint percussion flailings and scraping metal, which then slowly take shape, coagulating into a dense, aggressive avalanche of pummeling, white-hot drum rapture.

Apparently there was a concept/thesis behind the albums genesis somehow involving psychic powers, lizard people, and the Bermuda Triangle, but the details are hazy.

Haunted Castle are a suburban Detroit duo of tortured basement clatter and poltergeist attack thrash, and their cacophony ritual here ("Rainbow of Octopi") is a cauldron of psychic evil and wraith frenzy.

Whoa! Makes you feel lazy right? Well actually thats not all, as he also spent a few months somewhere in there recording, mixing, and re-recording the five multifaceted ethno-flux odysseys that comprise Ascension, his debut vinyl full-length. Utilizing his usual toolbag of looped tablas, fuzz guitar leads, chiming white light guitar, synth swells, and cloud-climbing electronics, the album safaris through a host of ecstatic ritual landscapes with more focus and magic than any other High Wolf hunt to date.

If anything, Silver Sea is Saelens weirdest hour, layered in abstract environments, whispers, distant poetry, free percussion loops, with sudden passages of heart-dissolving ghost-piano beauty ("Shine On From The Heaven Above," "Adventure In Light"). Heavily impressive, and a brave pearl-dive into even more personal waters for the INCA ORE lifeforce. LPs come in jackets with art by Saelens, plus a full-color insert.

It only took half a listen before we green-lit this tape-degraded gem for vinyl treatment and we are dee-lighted to present it thusly. Comprised of two side-long suites, Once In Babylon and the oddly monikered Frighteous Wane, KWJAZ nimbly ebbs and flows the proceedings through airy cloud-jazz passages (complete with smoky crystal vibes keys and narcotic hiss-hazed horn sections), bouncy weirdo dub-funk vignettes, stretched-out syrupy synth stews, and smooth faux-Steely D soft-rock abstractions, all without ever sounding schizo or style-hoppy. A major feat, and a real riddle of an LP that deepens and ripens with each spin.

Theres a few bangers (Bone Is Bloodstone, Looking In), a few ballads (In The Desert, Vous), and a couple quasi-covers (Searching, No No No), so every mood is given its due. Local photographer (and drummer) extraordinaire Caitlin C. Mitchell even lays down some smoky trumpet on one track.

Blurry ornate cassette-loop architectures groove and grind under jazzy Casio canopies while Ms. LA Vamps screws it all down and layers in additional square wave keyboard lines, echo chamber FX, drum machine detailing, low-end throbs, and sings lead on a gold spraypainted microphone. The entire LPs got that melting-on-the-dashboard warped-world tonality of all the best Outer Limits tracks, and the fried radio-rhythm Matrix beats definitely coax out a cool hidden sunbleached LA V faux-pop vocal style not evident on any of her previous vinyl. Elaborately 4-tracked over the summer and microscopically mixed by M. Geddes Gengras, So Unreal is exactly that, and a rad synergistic statement by both parties.

| "Estonian Euro-beat enchantress Maria Juur aka Maria Minerva has had a lively 2011 already -- releasing a chic suite of glamour-pop abstractions via her debut, Tallinn At Dawn, as well as a sultry, sideways bedroom disco EP (Noble Savage) on 100% Silk. But time is money and money talks (or something) so rather than let a hot streak go cold Ms. Maria has crafted a fresh 11-song dream ride down fascination street, which were pumped and proud to unveil: Cabaret Cixous. Apparently theres a tradition/inside joke amongst a fringe strain of Estonian bands where you have to name yr album something with cabaret in the title, but regardless of ones knowledge of this micro-custom, Cab Cixous is a gorgeous, gauzy thrill, slip-streaming from cracked-crystal karaoke pop singles (These Days, Ruff Trade, Soo High) to slow-motion synth-washed ballads (Lovecool, Spiral) to radical miscellzanies (the alien soundsystem banger, Laulan Paikse Kaes, a cellphone-fidelity Abba cover, etc) and beyond. A beautiful, bizarre record, full of the weird vision and hazed-out soulfulness thats everything we love about music." - Not Not Fun. Includes glossy one-sided color insert. |

Artist: MOON POOL & DEAD BAND Title: Human Fly Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
"Detroit deviants MOON POOL & DEAD BAND hardwire their gutter-disco waveforms with all the slime lab atmospherics and sci-fi circuitry scuzz that one might expect (and hope for) from a duo comprised of veteran garage-punk drummer DAVE SHETTLER and WOLF EYES noise lifer NATE YOUNG. Utilizing a swap meets worth of crusty synths, sequencers, drum machines and outmoded FX units, and adhering to a purists regimen of "all live and improvised, no overdubs," Moon Pool & Dead Bands rogue-wizard approach to basement beat music has already birthed some refreshingly unclassifiable tunnel-rat techno (see their self-titled 12-inch on Agitated for proof), but "Human Fly" feels like their unambiguous highlight to date. Motoring on a busted industrial-funk rhythm, the title track grinds and grooves through a maze of modular synth sparks, acid ooze and fried smoke before stopping suddenly to reveal a Cramps sample sputtering tinnily under all the noise; then, with almost a comic sense of timing, they re-bury it in the pumping pulse of duct-taped electronics. "Jagged Orbit" and "Cyber Rebels" ebb and flow with a lighter touch while looped percussion, jazzy house leads and synthesizer shrapnel echo across the stereo field like soft comets, the beats finally fading away in soothing waves of deep space hiss. An unusual synthesis of vibes and ideas, "Human Fly" is an ideal addition to the canon of inexplicable American EBM originators. Limited edition of 500." - Not Not Fun.

Artist: MURRAY, HEATHER LEIGH Title: Jailhouse Rock Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Its been a while since Scorces sorceress, Jandek collaborator, and Volcanic Tongue branch manager Heather Leigh has ventured out on vinyl under her own name. And it may be a while longer, as Jailhouse Rock is in fact a wax reissue of a long OOP 2006 cassette classic on Michigan crud factory Fag Tapes. It was a fave of ours that year (and every year), so it feels extra celebratory to be able to offer up a freshly remastered (by Pete Swanson) LP edition of the album for global re-appreciation. Sprawling, long-form descent/ascents into mythic electric disorientation, powered by her trademark recipe of FX-soaked pedal steel and voice. Jailhouse feels loosely more aligned with a mid-aughts drone/noise aesthetic than the outsider dirt road Americana of her Devil If You Can Hear Me LP (also on NNF), but the distinction is a slight one. Side A swims in swooping sheets of vox and tempestuous wind tunnel dynamics before slowly dying away to wheezing disembodied harmonica. The B piece begins in a more overtly beautiful mode, a trinity of crystalline notes picked and stretched until theyre transformed into a rapturous sky of textural distortion. Sensual and vertigo-inducing in equal measure. Black vinyl LPs in jackets with brand new paint/collage artwork by Heath Moerland (of Sick Llama, Slither, Odd Clouds, etc). Edition of 400." - Not Not Fun. |

Artist: ODD CLOUDS Title: Deceiving Illusion Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "A thousand years ago, in 2006, Michigan moonlighters Odd Clouds drizzled down their LP opus, The Cavernous End. Within the sphere of open-eyed freeform organized psych-jazz sprawl, nothing compared. Years later that album still kills, but not much has followed in its wake (there have been some loose tapes but those are more in the crude basement fuckaround vein). So we are personally xxtremely pleased to be able to finally offer up the bands latest album-length affair, Deceiving Illusion. A six-song spelunk into the deranged group brain responsible for noise scene mainstays like Fag Tapes and Tasty Soil Records, Illusion rumbles through a hall of mirrors of zones/styles, from freaky garbage punk to robot throat games to motorik brass meditations to unhinged 70s German commune beardo psych-blazers. The journey is the destination and all that. Abuse yr Illusion.

Artist: PEAKING LIGHTS Title: 936 Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |

"Sometimes it feels so simple: two of our favorite people in one of our favorite bands release one of our favorite records of all time. 2009s Imaginary Falcons was its own genius slushpile of tape-hissy drift-dub haze anthems, no question, but 936 takes every facet of the Peaking Lights mighty diamond and shines it to fluorescent perfection. The songwriting is insane; All The Sun That Shines, Amazing & Wonderful, Tiger Eyes (Laid Back), etc, all seep into yr mindstream and float there like melodic gold dust. Indra Dunis silky soul-jazz keys and tranced vocals have never sounded so exquisite, and Aaron Coyes busts out the best bass/drum loops and sneaky dub guitar of his musical lifetime. Recorded by Luke Tweedy at Flat Black Studios in Iowa City (where both the NNF Wet Hair LPs were tracked) and mastered in Berlin, 936 retains the cool crate-digger grit of their earlier highlights, but within a much more vivid spectrum of sound. Could not be more jazzed and honored to unveil this total groove-wave classic." -Not Not Fun

Artist: POCAHAUNTED Title: Threshold/Echolocation Format: 7" Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, bands to solo projects -- its all the same arc. And here it is, the final RIP action by star-crossed NNF institution Pocahaunted and the only recorded document of the final triforce-vocal line-up featuring Leyna Noel on keys/crooning/dance magic. On the final day of their 3-week spring 10 US tour, the band booked a session at Louder Studios in San Francisco with Tim Green (Nation Of Ulyssess/Fucking Champs, etc) and it marks Pocas first & last time working in a proper studio setting. The results blaze/amaze. Threshold was written on the road and melts through a river mistress intro before revving into a tense kraut-funk burner with catchy (and surprisingly non-FX-soaked) femme-soul vocables cascading down from every side. The B, Echolocation, is a tranced ghost-reggae comedown ballad and classic slow-dance live staple. Nimble bass maneuvering by whimsy princess Diva Dompe leads the melody up through the choruses into the torch-song bridge climax that leaves everybody on the floor. Roll the credits, this is the end.

Artist: PSYCHIC REALITY Title: Vibrant New Age Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Sadly (for us left coasters), in November Leyna Noel aka PSYCHIC REALITY decamped from SF to NYC, but before packing up her every worldly possession and road-tripping trans-America she eked out a sliver of precious time to hole up in the studio with Phil Manley (Trans Am, Jonas Reinhardt, etc) and record her long-awaited debut full-length on thick 2 inch tape. Vibrant New Age is the result. The name says it all. But Noels New Age is not the 80s redux fad of healing crystals, pastel fades, dolphin consciousness, etc, but a living, electrified awakening. From the high drama drum machinery of "Fruit" and "Expla" to the naked, airy avant-pop of "Hi High" and "Fanta" through to the stuttery, mechanized power ballad finale, "Soft Script," this is Noel at her most majestic and fully realized and its a wild life-force to behold.

Definite off-the-grid mentalities prevail on this genre-dissolving split 12" between San Fran anima soul voyager Leyna Noel aka Psychic Reality and So-Cal acid-jazz crate-digger LA Vampires. Noels toured the states coast-to-coast and dropped a couple potent tape/CDR effigies, but this is her vinyl debut and it captures everything searing and singular about her live alchemy in glowing, glorious detail. Four inter-flowing songs of tone-float piano keys, bedroom drum machines, and white light amplifier vox. Trance-damaged and truth-seeking. LA Vampires side madlibs through a more mercurial matrix, using slowed/screwed tapes, boombox Casio FX, low end theories, and bleached voice patterns to conjure a reverb chambers worth of dance floor mirages. Future collabs with Zola Jesus and Sun Araw should expound her rhythm method mission. Abuse yr illusion. Black vinyl LPs in glossy jackets with a boldly disrobed duo cover portrait by Caitlin C.

| "All things must come to pass, if you love something set it free, its better to burn out than fade away, blah blah blah. No platitude can mask the permanent bummer of a favorite band breaking up in their prime, and such is the case with Iowa Citys most untamed civic treasure, feral-psych foursome Raccoo-oo-oon, who decided to dissolve this year after nearly half a decade of radical and galvanizing activity (tapes, tours, t-shirts, etc). Fortunately theyre generous sorts, so their parting gift to the fans/haters/planet is a vicious, thorny wilderness of endless, nameless songs heaved across four fried sides of black vinyl. Crawl a mile in their shoes. As far as R.I.P. band statements go, this self-titled monster is tough to beat, by far the most ambitious slabs of sounds the RAC pack has ever put together. Doomed, desperate prog-rock flailings decay into hollow purgatories of dimly pulsing ambience, only to re-erupt into pissed percussion firestorms and experimental electricity. There are a few moments of Behold Secret Kingdom-style focus, but for the most part the mood remains raw and acidic, four souls on edge, backs to the crowd, channeling everything they have left inside. Its deconstruction time again. Nearly 80 minutes of music, mastered by Pete Swanson, housed in reinforced double LP jackets with Andy/Daren in repose photo artwork, plus a pro-printed 11x11 insert.

Artist: RANGERS Title: Pan Am Stories Format: Double LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $30.00 |
| "Tape-warped phantom band Rangers finally unleash the lush, soaring, expansive prog-pop opus we always knew was floating inside the fretboard (and imagination) of multi-instrumentalist mystery maestro Joe Knight. The north Dallas-raised, San Fran-residing head Ranger grew up taking classical guitar lessons from a dude who claimed to have toured with the Dead, and some of that brain-wonked jam agenda obviously seeped into the young Knight, who began recording his own loose, lo-fi jangle sprawls in 2005. But whereas last years critically lauded Suburban Tours LP found him condensing his cassette-crushed alien pop into 3 minute radio nuggets, Pan Am Stories uses the reverse strategy, letting each blurry strum pattern coast away and ride the breeze a bit before steering it into a fresh counter-melody or flanged-out guitar comedown. The extra breath and space gives the 13 songs a real sense of freedom and lightness and flight, layered in gentle blankets of fuzz, silky reverb, and audio collage riddles. A total saga, and a summit achievement of next-level invention for Knight as a musician (its insane he played/recorded every instrument on this thing!) and artist. Have been soaking in these tracks non-stop since we first heard em this summer and are thrilled to get to share Stories with the world. Black vinyl LPs (mastered by Carl Saff, who worked on Suburban Tours too) in gatefold jackets with micro-detailed collage art by Mr. Rangers himself; interior artwork by Knight and Anthony Yuen.

Title: Music For The Tactile Dome Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "The hermetic kosmische lexicon of San Fran-based synth synthesist/composer Jesse Reiner (Jonas Reinhardts founder and principal architect) has been simmering and swelling at a steady clip the past few years (2010s Powers Of Audition was def a highlight), but the added talents of drummer Damon Palermo (Mi Ami), bassist Diego Gonzalez (Citay, 3 Leafs), and guitarist Phil Manley (Trans Am, more) has levitated the JR Experience to a whole new head-music hall o fame. Recorded in Berlin, mixed in SF, then mastered/cut back in Berlin at Dubplates, Music For The Tactile Dome is easily the most deep-trip micro-focus Jonas odyssey to date, nine technicolor fractals of glittering synthesizer skyways and master-crafted pulsing kraut terrariums. A handful of tracks (Smokey Jotus, Hander Zader, etc) invoke more of the classic live JR vibe, with propulsive cold-grooved rhythm sectioning, but by and large Dome is designed for heavy headphone communion, an expanding magic eye tapestry of brainwave activity constellations.

| "Way too much is made these days of looking back, memory, social network fantasias. What a bummer, cause realitys a bad experience and 2012 is on deck; we deserve whatever we get. Evolve or erode, dudes. LA visigoths Robedoor slip into another sinkhole of voidist shadow-rock with Pacific Drift, three new tracks recorded across the last greylight winter. The A side stirs into a jazzy apocalypto depression with flute-keys and an overdriven OM groove that spirals in a web of distortion before drifting out to sea/silence. The flip finds a pair of deeply mutated RBDR genetic codes, one a mantric death-punk protest song cloaked in smoke and speed, the other a 3 AM slow-motion soul implosion set to upright piano, descending bass, tear garden guitar, and acid rain. The coast is a ghost, the city seethes. Mixed and mastered by M. Geddes Gengras at Green Machine in east LA. Black vinyl 7 inches in sleeves with corpse-diver artwork and a band photo by Caitlin C.

Raiders is the first RBDR LP since 2008s Endlessly Blazing and is the result of almost six months of slow-burn transformative tape machine meditation helmed by Mr. Ged Gengras. Bummed guitars, loner drone tones, low caverns of reverbed drums and rumble, echo dislocation, and dead voices cascade down into the isolated highways. Song modes are carved out and then left to rot.

Artist: SAND CIRCLES Title: Motor City Format: Cass Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $7.00 |
| "This is MARTIN HERTERICHs second pass around the NNF circuit in his SAND CIRCLES hovercraft (following 2011s Midnight Crimes EP), and though the general schematics and engine design remain the same-aged drum machines, afterhours analog tape echo, faded synth riffs, derelict metropolis atmospheres-Motor Citys grace and execution place it in a superior division to anything else hes tracked to date. A cool, loner narrative arc plays out across each side too: "Entering Motor City" across "White Sand" wherein theres a "Downtown Holdup" in the "Innercity Haze," before cruising back out of the urban sprawl, "Distant Lights" in the rearview, on through the "Endless Nights," "Descending Into Space." As with his last tape, the Sand Circles chemistry of transfusing reverb-refracted electronic horizon melodies with pulsing, primitivist warehouse-party drum machinery really succeeds in evoking this weirdly poignant bedroom/industrial reverie mood-sphere, and the 11 instrumentals of Motor City hit this interzone pressure point better than ever.

Artist: SECRET ABUSE Title: Violent Narcissus Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Secret Abuser Jeff Witscher is an enigma wrapped in a riddle rolled in cassette tape and plugged into a battered pair of towering PA speakers. Hes lived everywhere, met everyone, and inspired legions through his lifestyle, utopian fashions (refugee chic), and spellbindingly intense music. Up from Rainbow Blanket, through to Impregnable, and across the arid plains of Roman Torment and Deep Jew, Witschers maintained a singularity of vision and total commitment to execution that has wrecked us, personally, to the point of speechlessness at least a dozen times. But, despite his restlessly shapeshifting spirit, the past year plus has seen him settling slightly deeper into his Secret Abuse sinkhole style, and heres hoping he lingers a while longer, cause its a fucking winner. Brutal, pensive, blown-out tones crossfade into tortured minor key guitar laments before being slowly subsumed in a droning ocean of choked vocals and sulking, selfish electronics. Repressed, burning, and emotional like a young man pushing away everything, Violent Narcissus is as definitive a document as has thus far yet emerged from the SA canon (and lord knows theres been a grip of gems). Look long and hard; the mirror is a bitter mistress. Black LPs, mastered by Bill Hutson, housed in jackets designed by Witscher. Edition of 445." -Not Not Fun |

Both when fronting San Fran free-punk body-music trio Mi Ami or performing angst-dance psycho-dramas under his solo alias, Sex Worker, Daniel Martin-McCormick always succeeds in generating total motion (and emotion) and breaking the fourth wall. His vision of tranced/anguished rhythm questing hits an apex on The Labor Of Love, his LP debut under the Sex Worker guise, and weve been soaking in its dark arts for months. Pulsing, lo-fi kraut electronics bubble and sputter under hazy arcs of weirdo vocal smear. Escapist disco drum machines cruise into the horizon under a canopy of dubby accents and FX percussion, sometimes peaking in harsh frenzies of echo-scream meltdowns. All three pieces function as anthems or elegies or protest songs articulating Daniels heavy anti-sex trafficking/enslaved bodies activist agenda but you dont have to know the depths of the ethical framework to grasp the vibe. An intensely unique and hyper-personal statement from one of our favorite West Coast music-dreamers. Black vinyl LPs in jackets designed by the artist. Edition of 450." - Not Not Fun. |

Waving goodbye indeed. Sad times for California, but at least his parting gift/LP is as haunting and poignant and vivid as these six dance-damaged life/love/loss anthems. A huge evolutionary pole-vault upwards from 2009s The Labor Of Love, here the SW art-pulse echo-anguish aesthetic has been refined and reborn into fresh neon-smeared street grime crooner ballads (Cool Boy, Tough Love), sprawling forlorn trancefloor fantasias (Next To You, Honeymoon Babylon), plus a killer loner-ized Corona cover. Recorded over several months in SF and mastered in Berlin, WG is clearly his peak achievement to date and weve been jamming the shit out of it.

"Weve only had the good/loud fortune to witness Matthew Bower perform live on one solitary occasion, but the infinite incineration he managed to detonate out of a single electric guitar and knee-high practice amp was convincing enough to last several lives. In the meantime, theres the gallons of celestial skree he bombards the listening universe with via his cavalry of audio aliases (Skullflower, Total, Hototogisu, Sunroof!, Mirag), all of which radiates with Bowers iconic, influential, two-decades-deep quest to fuse the bruised with the blissed in a single white-light fist held up high. And although his specific mission for each project seems to have crossfaded a bit in recent years, its still huge news to us to be able offer up Taste The Blood Of The Deceiver, the first full-length Skullflower album to be pressed on vinyl since forever (at least the early 90s). Taste The Blood Of The Deceiver finds Bower in the more blackened, doom-damaged terrains like those stripmined on the recent Desire For A Holy War or Pure Imperial Reform -- abrupt vertical baths of blinding distortion and harmonic override spiked with cavernous cultish riffs and deeply bleak ritual moods. The blood is fresh, but the bodys unrecognizable. Charred and forgotten, this is another stepping stone on the path to the upturned altar. Black vinyl LPs in fucked-up-and-photocopied matte jackets.

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

Artist: U.S. GIRLS Title: Me & Yoko Format: 7" Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $6.00 |
| "There⿿s no disputing the truth that certain formats befit certain artists. Think about it: where⿿s the logic in Tangerine Dream rocking a 3-way split 3 CDR? Those fools need room to roam. Conversely, why would Orthrelm drop a 4xLP? Who needs 160 minutes of 8-second spazz songs? The medium is a message, man. And for Megan Remy⿿s brief, brave re-imaginings of guitar/voice pop rapture done under the U.S. Girls flag, the 45 RPM 7 inch single is the absolute dream medium for transporting said sounds to the interested earhole. Short and sweet (and chemical) like a sugar rush, Me + Yoko is her latest reverb-gaze drug nugget in a string of strong singles (following releases on Hardscrabble Amateurs and Cherry Burger), and it⿿s another keeper. Whistling to life with a scrap of found sound/dialogue, the song then wings into a vague, hazed-out stone-toss between 2 tired notes (a dead ringer for that famous Les Rallizes Denudes bass riff), ebbing and flowing beneath smeary streaks of white-washed vocal blur. A Top 40 single for a universe of ghosts. The B, ⿿Rise + Go, might actually be the more aching of the two, a broke-down bedroom ballad, awash in sad seas of reverb, lapping at the shores of isolated islands, gently sailing into heartbreak. Sounds lo-fi but lush, like it was recorded high on a cloud on a cheap 80s boombox. Imagine that. Black vinyl 45 RPM singles, mastered by Pete Swanson, in photocopied sleeves with art by Remy. Edition of 380." -Not Not Fun |

Artist: UMBERTO Title: Confrontations Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Kansas Citys goblin king of neo-Giallo, brood-blooded dark fantasy soundtracking returns with his fourth official full-length, two years after the badass psychodrama of Prophecy of the Black Widow. The time betwixt was well spent, on tours (Europe twice, including the Mogwai-curated All Tomorrows Parties fest), one-off tapes and 12-inches (Welcome to the Chill Zone, Final Exit, etc.), and tweaking the mixes and minutia of the seven undead invasion omens comprising Confrontations. What instantly distinguishes this new album from the previous two is its ominous, slow-burn compositional model, building its evil temple brick by brick, basking in the tension of each new chiming, Carpenter-esque synth line or monkish doom Om for multiple measures before stirring the next substance into the cauldron. This elegant sense of patience gives the tracks a more oozing, operatic aura; these confrontations arent hostile showdowns in the woods but the creeping dread of alien-nation body snatchers infiltrating the populace. Death comes slipping. Can someone hire this genius to score the They Live remake already? X-filed highway cover artwork designed by Dionysian visualist TIM GOODWILLIE." -Not Not Fun. |

Artist: UMBERTO Title: Freeze! Format: 7" Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "After 2 full-lengths mining vintage horror scores and Italo/Goblin-isms for inspiration, Kansas City riddler and composition whiz Umberto slow-pans his focus out of the graveyards and black widow cobwebs into the celluloid-stained artificial streets of Beverly Hills police beats and pop culture ghost-busting. Freeze! is an inscrutable but impressively legit reinvention of Jan Hammer-style 80s soundtrack cheese: soaring keyboard lines, fast-tappin piano, locked-in bass grooves, goofy canned drums, baroque purple haze soloing, etc. Put An APB On Those Bastards kicks things off with a tension-ramping Corvette cruise into the heat of the night, while Illegal Entry With Intent To Zuul is a pitch-perfect rooftop chase scene that ends with somebody falling fifty stories into a posh private pool (and is apparently also somehow about that horned dog demon that possesses Sigourney Weaver in G-Busters?). A bizarre and thoroughly enjoyable curveball from one of our fave current music-makers. Black vinyl 45s in pro-printed jackets with hilarious/hijacked Eddie Murphy artwork by Derek Goon.

Artist: UMBERTO Title: Prophecy of a Black Widow Format: LP Label: Not Not Fun Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
"The one Umberto performance we had the rad fortune to bear witness to involved at least a dozen dudes, dads, and ladies all on stage wearing sunglasses at night and shredding keyboards/keytars bathed in a sea of fog machinery and strobe lights and extraterrestrially-costumed interpretive dancers. Shit was BEYOND. Umberto mastermind Matt Hill allegedly went to legit music school back in the day and used to play bass for Expo 70 (Justin/Expo released the debut Umberto tape/CDR, From The Grave, on his Sonic Meditations label) before splintering into his current electro-satanic Goblin worship guise -- and we for one cant get enough. Prophecy Of The Black Widow is his sophomore LP and though the badass evil Italo goth-synth horror-score blueprint of Grave remains, the main variation is subtle vibe-shift from 70s Argento/Carpenter-isms into more early/mid-80s new wave creep-scapes. Theres still plenty of eerie nightmare keyboard riffs and vintage witch-disco breakouts but the synths squelch with more of a neon retrofuturist bent and theres even one brazenly feel good soaring-into-the-sunset closing credits anthem (the literally-titled Everything Is Going To Be Okay). Whatever prophecy Prophecy is foretelling, were on board. Black vinyl LPs in jackets with sick fake-3D lettering and art by Seth Johnson." -Not Not Fun

"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.

| "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.

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.

"Charlie Nothing had many bands that dingulated during the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Dingulations ranged from very well received (After one performance in L.A., Charlie Nothing was offered a ton of money to take a tour to Viet Nam with Bob Hope to entertain the troops. He declined, calculating that he was more likely to get shot than get the money.) to being spat upon by human beings who could not tolerate the disrespect that Dingulation represented to the Hamster Hierarchy of Respectable Entertainment.
Charlie Nothing has had many art shows in very established galleries which are no longer in existence. One of the first canvases he ever produced was purchased by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art circa 1963, after being featured in a show called New York Artists. He has performed in many places and times. Written many songs which were anthologized in the "Big Dingulator Song Book," which is unavailable. He composed and produced records and tapes as far back as the late 60s. One of his LPs "In Eternity With Brother Fred" was produced and officially released by the prestigious Tacoma Records and achieved an infinitesimal degree of infamy in Europe under the category of New Jazz, which, of course, it was totally not.
Charlie Nothing quit performing, having finally evolved past the entertaining-monkey-jumping-up-and-down stage." -

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

Artist: V/A Title: Those Shocking, Shaking Days: Subtitled: Indonesian Hard, Psychedelic, Progressive Rock and Funk: 1970-1978 Format: Triple LP Label: Now-Again Country: USA Price: $30.00 |
| "The untold story of Indonesias various underground 70s musical scenes; extensive liner notes, photographs and ephemera; fully restored and remastered audio; officially licensed. The progressive music scenes in 1970s Indonesia were largely underground as a result of strict censorship imposed by the dictator Suharto. Those who performed music marked by relentless fuzz, over the top, politically charged lyrics, strong rhythms and a cranky low-fidelity were truly rebellious. And the resulting output has been largely -- outside of the confines of this island nation -- unheard or ignored. Indonesia, based in large part on the restrictions imposed by Suharto, is better known for the coffee it exports than the music it creates. This situation hasnt been remedied by the rough-hewn Indonesian bootlegs that dotted the psychedelic landscape over the past five years. Thanks now to the tireless -- and expensive -- research of Canadian hip hop producer and Southeast Asian music specialist Jason Moss Connoy - and the trust that Indonesian rock legend Benny Soebardja placed in Now-Again Records as he traversed his homelands islands securing the rights necessary for us to offer you this anthology -- we feel like we can, in good spirits and conscience, shine the light on some of the most impressive organizations to offer their take on the psychedelic and progressive rock and funk sounds during the early shocking, shaking days of Suhartos regime." Artists: Panbers, The Brims, Rollies, Shark Move, Golden Wing, AKA, IVOs Group, Ariesta Birawa Group, Terenchem, Benny Soebardja and Lizard, Super Kid, Koes Plus, The Gang Of Harry Roesli, Black Brothers, Rasela, Freedom Of Rhapsodia, Rhythm Kings, Duo Kribo.

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.

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.

| "Now-Again Records presents exact reproductions of two of the four 7" singles that the Iranian psychedelic rock musician Kourosh Yaghmaei released before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Taken from Back from the Brink, the only legitimately licensed Kourosh collection, these recordings were thought lost after Islamic fundamentalists took control of Iran. They werent: Kourosh had protected them -- along with key ephemera from the 70s. Here, fans of the 7" vinyl format can purchase Kouroshs last two singles as he originally released them. The first single presented here, Hajme Khali, is a masterful psychedelic dirge that was included on this labels Forge Your Own Chains anthology.

"In the age of social networking and digital distribution, where music fans are inundated with an endless barrage of preview tracks, video clips, and promotional blurbs, the story of little known Texas-based songwriter, Russell Hoke, reads almost like something swiped from the pages of The Acid Archives than from someone who has released four albums in 2011 alone. The truth is that Hoke had recorded a bunch of songs in the Eighties and Nineties, but has only, in the past few years, begun to actively release this material in limited, hand-assembled editions on his private press imprint, Unheard-Of." - Foxy Digitalis. |

Artist: CAVE DWELLERS, THE Title: Run Around Format: Double 7" Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Recorded in 1967 at Chicagos Universal Studios and laboriously laden with Buckinghams-style horns and strings, the Cave Dwellers thought theyd locked their first hit down. Given just a few minutes to produce a B-side, the quintet unleashed their primitive and theretofore-unheard power. Run Around ended up a punk precursor that took contemporary rock to its tough, angry, and logical conclusions, scorching past anything the radio ran in its day. Intending only to tear off something fast and easy, the Dwellers had achieved one of Chicago garage rocks most ferocious moments. That original Jim-Ko single has been reproduced alongside two previously unissued rockers and housed in a glorious gatefold sleeve with copious notes and quotes from a confused newsman about the longhair invasion." -Numero Group. |

Artist: CIRCUIT RIDER Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "2012 repress of this reissue that previously appeared in 2009 (on Bookworm) , now given a more official Numero Group association, emitting even more intense Harley fumes." - FE. "Authorized exact replica reissue of this private press LP from approx 1980? or so. Recorded in Norwalk, CT; edition of 800 copies. "...projects visions of a biker high on PCP driving over a cliff at 100 mph, laughing and screaming all the way." -- Patrick Lundborg, The Acid Archives "This is the ultimate burnout biker-psych masterpiece. Finally repressed directly from tapes to flawlessly restore the cigarette burns, Harley fumes, and cocaine hangovers of the original ride. This is a 40 minute recipe for complete mental breakdown. Included on the Acid Archives list of Top Ten LPs Most Likely To Be Owned By A Serial Killer. Circuit Rider is lost on the same journey as Kenneth Higney, Nicodemus & Matchez, YaHoWa, Boa, Heitkotter, Dave Lamb & Gye Whiz, Raven, Fraction, and The Doors L.A. Woman." -Bookworm. Highly recommended! |

Artist: JOHNSON, OTIS G. Title: Everything - God is Love 78 Format: LP Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "For outsider gospel visionary and Detroit native Otis G. Johnson, the Holy Ghost was in the machine... in this case a rhythm-equipped Hammond organ. Everything - God Is Love 78, a singular 1978 mid-fi document, features android percussion against chords of Otiss own invention, possessed by minor tonality and frequent bum notes. Lifting it further are extemporaneous vocal homilies to the rapture, love, and everything, plus occasional other voicings that scratch at the periphery of the mix. Homespun gospel rarely entered this dirge-like, intuitive space, nor did it commonly achieve such a spectral and captivating hymn to its darkest conventions." -Numero Group. |

Artist: MEDUSA Title: First Step Beyond Format: LP Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $32.00 |
 "Chicagos reputation will forever be tainted by the horn-ravaged corniness of their eponymous band. Medusas First Step Beyond could have forever altered the perception of Chicago rock history had it managed to make the leap from tape to its destined vinyl pressing. Instead, this mish-mash of Sabbath, Hawkwind, and Amon Duul II remained petrified in the Corycian Caverns, or rather the drummers basement. Self produced on four track in 1975, the sole transmission from Medusas repertoire appeared on the extremely mysterious Pepperhead label, whose proprietor allegedly disappeared after a bad trip and has never been seen again. Housed in cushy mock-velvet and screened in blood red and gold, and art directed from the bands elaborate original stage props and artwork, we have positioned this unreleased opus to finally reach its destination: the turntables of pot-smoking teenagers, young and old." -Numero Group.

Artist: PISCES Title: A Lovely Sight Format: LP Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| Deluxe gatefold LP version. "By the late 60s, radio-delivered psychedelia had saturated even the heartland. A Lovely Sight, Pisces only attempt at an LP, never made wax; but the fuzz guitar phrases and tambourine shuffle of Dear One instantly illustrate the bands woozy realm. Deeper inside, bass scales borrowed from Sgt. Pepper give way to Who moves wrecked by bad fidelity and harsh intrusions of found audio. Jefferson Airplanes swirled, lysergic Haight Street utopia melds with the urban narcosis of the Velvet Undergrounds East Village. But Pisces hailed from another ghost town altogether: Rockford, Illinois, where rusted, endless plains bear close resemblance to a bummer acid trip or a junkies rock bottom. In 1969, the industrial Midwest was hurting for the hard stuff, but what it got was plenty of the White Album -- enough to have Jim Krein, Paul DiVenti and Linda Bruner recording through a glass onion all their own. The unsettling balance of their unissued LP combines homespun psychedelic vision and secondhand studio trickery with naive readings of the rock sound of the day, resulting in a diverse, haunted rock headspace few coastal bands ever flew through, let alone over." - Numero Group. |

Artist: PRETTY Title: Mustache in Your Face Format: Double 7" Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Recorded in an actual cave in western Missouri, the quartet formerly known as the Fabulous Four emerged from the depths in 1969 with an albums worth of wasted psychedelia. Helmed by the Electric Prunes Michael Quint, the session produced one promo-only 45, bearing the truly un-pretty Squeakie label -- a madmans face in red-on-white, howling out of the spindle hole. The songs blend backwards guitar lines, flamenco runs, triple-tracked vocals, heavy distortion, handclaps, key vamps, a Stones rip, and extremely absurd lyrical content. Mustache in Your Face and its flip have been paired with two other magical numbers, their five business card story, and stuffed into a cherry gatefold sleeve." - Numero Group. |

Artist: V/A Title: Boddie Acetate Box Format: Triple 7" Boxset Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Three 45s with original Boddie acetate artwork plus extensive notes, housed in a 7" shipping box, and sealed with faximile Boddie paper shipping tape. From 1965 until 1987, husband and wife Thomas and Louise Boddie provided the greater Cleveland, Ohio, area with custom recording and affordable record manufacturing. The Boddie Recording Company operated out of the African-American couples house on the east side of Cleveland, complete with a fullservice, hand-wired analog recording studio and a busy pressing plant steaming around the clock in a converted dairy barn at the back of the estate. A kaleidoscope of northern Ohio musical acts used the Boddie services in one way or another, booking time in the tracking room, cutting reference acetates, or pressing a couple hundred 45s for local distribution. Selecting from the reliable parade of musicians crossing paths with his enterprise, Thomas found time to curate his own stable of talent through his Soul Kitchen, Luau, Caribi, Plaid, and Bounty labels. But by and large, Boddie Recording Company was not a creative endeavor for Thomas or Louise. Instead, it made the Boddies an honest living by providing teenage bands and aspiring gospel ensembles an inexpensive shot at having their own creations laid to wax. Of these hundreds of groups, weve selected three that were found in unmarked boxes, never picked up, certainly never released. The labels are a facsimile of the Boddies custom acetate sticker, pressed on 48 gram vinyl, housed in a tape box, and sealed with Boddie Recording kraft tape." -Numero Group |

Artist: V/A Title: Good God! Apocryphal Hymns Format: Double LP Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $23.00 |
| "The third installment in Numeros series of otherworldly gospel, robed funk, and spiritual soul, Apocryphal Hymns is a slim new gospel songbook, penned powerfully by the genres lesser-known disciples. Here, heavenly harmonies, psychedelic guitars, damaged sacred steel, a bleeding French horn, off-kilter choirs, and consumer-side electronic percussion decorate the Word, with performance modes that stray far from the flock, but hew always to the message. In homage to the stock jacket record industry of the 1970s, select one of these four alternate covers: woodland twilight, seashore morning, mountain waterfall, and sunbeam canyon. Gatefold double LP version." -Numero Group. |

Artist: V/A Title: Titan: Its All Pop! Format: 4 LP Box Set Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $56.00 |
| "From 1978-1981 the Titan label issued only eight records, but over the years their tiny catalog has crawled to the top of power-pop want lists worldwide and appeared on scads of bootleg cassettes, building a legacy to rival L.A.s Bomp or New Yorks Ork. Located in fly-over country, Titan was forced to start their own scene, import their own skinny ties, and scour Missouri for their own talent. Their midwest AM bubblegum roots are apparent in the likes of Gary Charlson, the Secrets*, Arlis!, Gems, Millionaire At Midnight, the Boys, J.P. McClain & the Intruders, Bobby Sky, and Scott McCarl, but Titan was clearly influenced by the glam-punk spit being hocked from the 100 Club stage. Thirty years since they meekly flopped out their first 7" single, Kansas Citys Titan Records finally returns to record bins everywhere in a deluxe 4LP retrospective boasting ten bonus tracks not on the double CD, and a comprehensive 24-page book." -Numero Group. |

Artist: V/A Title: Wayfaring Strangers: Guitar Soli Format: Double LP Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "Double LP version, great gatefold sleeve. "Bridging the gap between American primitive pioneers John Fahey, Robbie Basho, and Leo Kottke, and the California modernists William Ackerman, Alex de Grassi, and Michael Hedges, Guitar Soli explores the private side of the solo guitar movement from 1966-1981. While Takoma and Windham Hill were laying the groundwork for the new age marketing juggernaut of the mid 80s, these fourteen loners were picking away in tiny cafes, selling records hand to hand. The double LP set comes housed in a beautiful recycled cardboard gatefold sleeve and features Ted Lucas, Daniel Hecht, Dan Lambert, Jim Ohlschmidt, Tom Smith, Mark Lang, Richard Crandell, William Eaton, George Cromarty, Scott Witte, Brad Chequer, Dwayne Canan, and Dana Westover."-Numero Group |

Artist: WICKED LESTER Title: You Are Doomed Format: Double 7" Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
 "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: NUSS, DAVE Title: Original Innocence Format: CDR Label: Nuss, Dave Country: USA Price: $7.00 |

The band includes Anders Nilsson of Angelblood, and among the many vocalists are members of the Philip Glass and Meredith Monk Ensembles, Rings, Amolvacy, Pigeons, and punk legends Atakke.
