Artist: POLICEBAND Title: Stereo/Mono Format: 7" Label: Vacuum Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "Policeband was a one-man act - the man being Boris, a New York City kid and a classically trained musician who picked up on performance art while studying and teaching at Cal Arts in the early 70s. Boris became Boris Policeband after a live performance in 1976 during which he monitored, on headphones, police communications from a scanner and recited their chatter while he accompanied himself on electric violin. Boris was fascinated by cop culture and the often prosaic and sometimes poetic reality of law enforcement. Over the next couple years the cop-talk and violin-screech coalesced into discrete songs. His live performances were extremely loud/edgy aggressive/dissonant, and even though most songs were under a minute long and a set rarely exceeded 10 minutes, Boris could quickly empty a room; and that was something he took pride in. The rooms he cleared included CBGBs, Maxs and the Mudd Club; as well as other venues like the Kitchen and Artists Space. Boris, a self-proclaimed Materialistic-Socialist and Antidisestablishmentotalitarian, was a character and downtown club fixture. His days were spent combing thought thrift and pawnshops for material to add to his collection of used books, sunglasses (which he was never seen without), and wristwatches. Every night he was in clubs where he leaned against a wall while listening to classical music with an ear plug on his transistor radio and bouncing his pink Spaulding off the walls and deftly catching it; all the while engaging in snappy repartee and/or swapping insults with passersby. Boris put Policeband down in the mid-80s to pursue his classical viola practice. His present whereabouts are unknown."- Dike Blair (liner notes from New York Noise. Vol. 3). Tracks from this were recently included on Soul Jazz Records New York Noise series (subtitled Music From The New York Underground 1979-1984). Original, unplayed copies of this 1979 single on artist Dike Blairs short-lived label. Restocked yet again. |

Artist: INDEX Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Valord/DC Country: USA Price: $26.00 |
|
Last copies of this official reissue from 2004 of the first Index LP, originally released in 1967. All copies have a certain amount of edge-warp (as expected, I guess) and are sold as is. "Much has been written about this incredible band. Much of it isnt true. I want to set the record straight. Index was formed in the early spring of 1967 in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. I was 18 years old when I met a chain-smoking 16-year-old named Gary Francis. Our conversation soon got around to rock and roll. He told me that he and his friend, John Ford, were forming a band. I told him that I played drums and we arranged a jam session at Johns home on Lakeshore Drive. Our first meeting was incredible. Our sound was full and powerful. Johns lead guitar techniques were fresh and innovative. After our first sessions we knew we had something special. Index was born. Soon we hit the local sock hop circuit, playing at high schools and teen clubs in the area. We poured our unique sound out at The Hideout, Undercroft and G.P. War Memorial every weekend. One afternoon John pulled out a new album he had been listening to. It was a new band with a mind-shattering sound called The Jimi Hendrix Experience. John played some songs he had written inspired by this psychedelic sound. Over the next few days, Fire Eyes, Shock Wave and Feedback were written. This album was recorded in December of 1967 at the Ford estate. It is recorded in mono sound with literally one microphone and with all instruments and vocals recorded at the same time. The cover photo is of Orpheus and Bacus, founders of a singing group John joined at Yale. The stiff, board-like figures seem to characterize the exact opposite of this musical collection. This reissue is taken from the original recordings. Nothing has been added and all songs are in their original length. Over the years various bootleg copies of this album have surfaced but this is the original work." -Jim Valice.

Artist: SPECTRE FOLK Title: Ancient Storm Format: LP Label: Vampire Blues Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Tireless Michigan-bred multi-instrumentalist (and parent) PETE NOLAN runs the Arbitrary Signs imprint, drums for MAGIK MARKERS and has written a childrens book and accompanying album-yet still has time and energy to lead SPECTRE FOLKs doleful, spiraling psychedelic drones. With drummer STEVE SHELLEY (SONIC YOUTH), AARON MULLAN (TALL FIRS) on bass and PETER MEEHAN on guitar, they churn out black seas of noise guitar, psych jams, no-fi experiments and other interplanetary gunk. The follow-up to their The Blackest Medicine, Vol. 2 EP (Woodsist), The Ancient Storm opens with a slow-burning ballad whose vibe is right out of If I Could Only Remember My Name, and ends with creepy heaviness that wouldnt be out of place on a Jandek record. In between, layered, psychedelic guitar work and the occasional electrified vibraphone overlay a mix of beefed-up psych-rock muscle and a more stripped-down, guy-in-a-bedroom sound. Hard to believe a group this murky can swing this hard, but such is the nature of 21st Century astral projection. Includes free download card with five bonus tracks." -Vampire Blues. |

Artist: CEYLEIB PEOPLE, THE Title: Tanyet Format: LP Label: Vault Country: USA Price: $11.00 |
| "Repro-reissue of this 1967 album on Vault, featuring Ry Cooder. Obscure but classic drug vibed Indian-based psychedelic sitar-led instrumentals w/ an early Beefheart flavor. CD reissue from the 90s is long unavailable. "Ry Cooders Ceyleib People are arguably one of the more innovative groups of the late 60s. Taking the loping blues romp of Captain Beefheart and filtering it through Indian music, the group created a very short album of two 10-11 minute parts. For 1967, this is definitely hippy experimental music, hopping from guitar riffs to sitar drones to mellotron rambling and back without regard for convention. Its almost as if there was an intent to fuse the influences of Ravi Shankar with those of the old blues legends, except that rarely is there any true juxtaposition of both styles, instead one will start out and then give way to another, segment by segment. Its as if someone gave a studio the masters for several Ravi Shankar and Captain Beefheart albums, asked them to splice them together, and then left, only to have the engineer play a joke by adding parts of Days of Future Passed in as well. Overall, its a pretty successful experiment especially considering its age. While this might not have been so impressive had it been from a few years later, its presence in 1967 is quite prescient." -Mike McLatchey |

"Raskas taakka (Heavy Load) is a four part moan dealing with death in the
family. Extremely minimal and raw electronic pulses with deep nocturnal
narrations and barely there death chants create a truly hallucinatory
epitaph. It might be by far the most brutally personal statement from
Veli-Matti Laja Aijala, the Finnish underground legend known for his
work with groups such as Terveet Kadet, Billy Boys, The Sultans, Leo
Bugariloves, Aavikon Kone ja Moottori etc." - Vauva. 2005 recordings. Hand painted, one-sided lp co-release btw Jan Anderzens (Anaksimandros, Avarus, Hevoset, Kemialliset Ystavat, Puke Eaters, etc..) Vauva label and Joteskii Groteskii (see last years Billy Boy single). Highly recommended! |

Artist: ROSS, ALEXANDER Title: Grandfather Paradox Format: LP Label: Vauva Country: Finland Price: $20.00 |
| "Critically celebrated for his candy coated biomorphic abstractions, Alexander Ross equally visionary feats of sonic Surrealism have until now remained an insiders secret. Thanks to Kemialliset Ystavat and Tomutonttu mastermind Jan Anderzen, the resplendent oddness of Ross musical imagination is now finally available to be rolled around on the collective tongue of humanity once again via this vinyl reissue for his Vauva imprint. Originally issued as a cassette on the cult electronic label Generations Unlimited, this freak fringe tour de force from 1989 has its navigational coordinates governed by the kind of psychically dislocating dream logic more associated with Nurse With Wound. Across the epic suite that comprises these two album sides, Ross musical syntax pops with all manner of unexpected rhythmic and textural detailing. The friction and frisson generated by raking kernels of assorted organic ephemera from rolls of dice, clinks of ice or the rattle of bamboo wind chimes against the fur of his countervailing compositional gestures is responsible for generating a lot of the drama heard here. On the excerpt from Side A found below, they counterpoint foghorn-like trombone fanfares, ecstatic ethnological forgeries and welling tides of smeared orchestration." - Eric Lumbleau (of Mutant Sounds), Ad Hoc. |

And in the desert, wind, erosion and echoes work the surroundings of Poly Styrenes ex-hang-out, an oasis filled with lively people and empty beer cans. Ornamental carpets and fresh water, too. There it is again! Its Tsembla playing her modified samples, strings, reeds, percussion and the whole range of modern psych instruments to create fiestas with strong twists of pop music. Sounds old and new and like nothing youve ever heard before."

Artist: SQUIRMBO Title: Beyond A Fever Pitch Format: Double 7"/Frisbee Label: Vertical Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "In its initial incarnation between 1989 and 1994, Squirmbo was the caffeine-addled fabrication of Hornraiser (Tony P), Jason the Unpopular (Jim S), Guttersnipe (Phil S) and Stygian (Mark S). The western Massachusetts collagists endured a deep esteem for the hypnotic pastels and unholy mersh of Steinski, Prince Paul, Nurse with Wound, Ghédalia Tazartès, RRRecords, Christian Marclay, Sentridoh, Gum and William Burroughs cut ups. They also spent 1001 sleepless nights ingesting the stuzzadelik detritus of the previous 80 years, including and especially Fletcher Henderson and Tav Falco’s Panther Burns. Along with Bushwick V (Mark V), the five chums simultaneously established and maintained Vertical Records between 1989 and 1994 (which is poorly represented in the digital realm at present and should not be confused with the multitude of other Vertical Records, then or now). Vert issued seismic crunk from Cop Shoot Cop, Sebadoh, Royal Trux, Suckdog, Merzbow, Jason Loewenstein’s Sparkalepsy (or Heather’s Overbite, opinions vary), Caroliner and eventually Squirmbo and related deformities The Fuck Orchestra, Doña Velasquez & The Gag Reflex and BLBAF. Approbation for Squirmbo from the fanzine masses of the time - including a centerpiece in Bananafish - bewildered the group, who were nevertheless delighted and showed it to their parents. Tragically, our brother Mark S returned to dust in a final selfless gesture in 1994, thereby ending Squirmbo and Vertical Records and drawing the so called “classic era��? to a close. The remaining three Squirmbo members, again with Mark V, burrowed deep underground, only to emerge years later cloaked as professional normals who enthusiastically pay their taxes and quote Seinfeld episodes to the satisfaction of their urbane colleagues. The exception is Jim S, who publically resurrected Squirmbo in 2008 in a series of euphorically skunked videos available to all." -Vertical. "Special" edition packaged in a frisbee. |

Artist: JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER Title: Freedomland Format: CD Label: Very Friendly Country: UK Price: $17.00 |
| "This is a collection of live-recorded improvised material by Portland, Oregons Jackie-O Motherfucker. Compiled by founding member Tom Greenwood, this music captures the sound of a reconfigured Jackie-O during the late summer of 2006, with vocalist Eva Salens (Inca Ore), Tom Greenwood, Danny Sasaki, and Nick Bindeman. Their first stop was at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, where the group were scheduled for their first appearance supporting the Dirty Three. There they would begin -- unrehearsed in this formation, and in front of a large audience. The plans to perform material from their newest release Flags of the Sacred Harp were scrapped, and the band launched into a free-form set of improvised, trance-inducing, punk-inspired, psychedelic rock, which became the framework of the new music they would develop together over the next few years. Freedomland is the document of this trip through America. The record consists of location recordings, captured live, and mastered in the United Kingdom. The songs were created from the spirit of improvisation, and honed by performing nightly in dive bars, music halls, and art galleries across America. Salens vocal delivery is raw and honest, the words flow from conversations, to streams-of-sub-conscious conjuring, and prayer. Guitars alternately soar into cloud-scapes, and battle like free-jazz saxophones, propelling the group into new terrain nightly, while the percussion of Danny Sasaki alternates between exploratory and dead-solid motoric. The collection was edited by Tom Greenwood, from dozens of live recordings, and captures a rare moment in the bands long and confusing history. As Greenwood himself describes, this is "truly the music of everyday life -- birthed each night in a new form, from musicians who put great faith in each other, under awesome strain at times, to project modern music, with soul."-Very Friendly |

Have heard that this was largely recorded on a NYC rooftop, but you certainly cant hear any breeze -- there is, however, some serious driftage going on all over the place. Out-of-nowhere double album magnum opuses tend to go on to have genre defining significance, and its easy to see this one having research visibility for decades to come, as the pinnacle of its contemporary scene. Packaged in a slimline jewel case (to assure those worried this thing would come wrapped in tree bark or something), with an intriguing multi-page booklet of almost Gysin-esque hieroglyphics."- Forced Exposure (1996). Re-released 2006 by Very Friendly. |

Artist: SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN Title: Complexion Format: CD Label: Very Friendly Country: UK Price: $15.00 |
| "Very Friendly (in collaboration/co-operation from Spirit Of Orr) are honored to offer you 2005s Complexion for the first time on CD (and their first UK release) originally released on a limited run of 1000 vinyl. Another psychic gangbang from New Englands finest fever dream peddlers. This record contains futuristic meditations on some proto-gypsy ritual from the distant past & hyper-realistic abstractions tailor made for the absurdity of human interaction as it has come to be recognized in the present day. Complexion, unlike other Sunburned records, promises invisible skin for the faces between your ears and transcendental pulse options for the curiously minded purveyors of a young millennium. Once again the have-nots trump the haves with even deeper proclamations of emancipation and Complexion penetrates far below the surface, opening the pores, smoothing every wrinkle & gently guiding the crows feet closer to oblivion. Complexion is beautifully wrapped in the visionary artwork of Mr. John Jagel whose work also includes the album cover to John Coltranes Ole Coltrane and Ornette Colemans Ornette LP." - Very Friendly. |

Artist: WHITEHOUSE Title: Bird Seed Format: Double LP Label: Very Friendly Country: UK Price: $15.00 |
| "Bird Seed was the transformational album following the release of the seismic Wriggle Like A Fucking Eel, where Whitehouse first shockingly employed all kinds of new technology, incorporating acoustic elements such as African djembes and doundouns for their sound, featured also on the extraordinary Cut Hands Has The Solution and Munkisi Munkondi (recently interpreted by the Berlin-based classical orchestra Zeitkratzer). Featuring Peter Sotos, responsible for the infamous title track." -Very Friendly |

Artist: CUT HANDS Title: Black Mamba Format: CD Label: Very Friendly/Susan Lawly Country: UK Price: $18.00 |
| "Africas deadliest snake, Black Mamba, will seduce you with beauty and destroy you with venom. 2011s mind-blowing debut Afro Noise I (VFSL 101CD) was followed by electrifying sell-out performances all over the world. And now, after many long months of vaudou-fixated claustrophobia, Cut Hands is back to take you on a further hot, ecstatic descent into an aggressive, brooding, and immaculate polyrhythmic abandon. The album includes songs "Nzambi Ia Ngonde" and "El Palo Mayombe," featured in Reincarnated (documentary about Snoop Dogg in Jamaica that recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival) in addition to "Krokodilo," the heartbreaking main percussion version of the theme for the documentary Siberia: Krokodil Tears.

"The place it all began: the seminal first album by Whitehouse. Even to this day is a remarkable piece of work created entirely with tone generators and EDP Wasps, and lyrically full of what would be their uncompromising trademark irony, it would prove instrumental in dragging avant garde electronic music a long way from its initially limited boundaries." -Very Friendly/Susan Lawly

This incredible sounding, newly-mastered heavy vinyl LP shows the full range of Bennetts voice and the accompanying electronics, especially notable on filthy epics like You Dont Have To Say Please and Im Comin Up Your Ass." -Very Friendly/Susan Lawly |

Artist: AETHENOR Title: Betimes Black Cloudmasses Format: LP Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "The highly-anticipated second album from VINCENT DE ROGUIN (SHORA), STEPHEN OMALLEY (SUNN0))), KTL), and DANIEL OSULLIVAN (GUAPO). Like their genre confounding debut Deep In Ocean Sunk the Lamp of Light, Betimes is an atmospheric, constantly changing piece that encompasses a mind-boggling array of different performance and processing techniques. The deeply psychedelic and moving results present a soundstage that is continually evolving, with new elements entering and leaving the fray every couple of seconds. Includes significant contributions from free percussionists NICOLAS FIELD and ALEX BABEL, who sprinkle the sound field with an almost FMP-style rush of splattering drum sound, raising the intensity of the music (without resorting to bashing). The album also features a brief but affecting vocal from ULVER mastermind KRISTOFFER RYGG, who will make his first live appearance in over a decade when AETHENOR plays the Roadburn Festival in April 2008. Aethenors third LP, featuring vocals and lyrics by David Tibet, will be released in Autumn 2008." -VHF |

Artist: AETHENOR Title: Deep In Ocean Sunk The Lamp of Light Format: LP Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "The debut release from the trio of STEPHEN OMALLEY (SUNN0))))), DANIEL OSULLIVAN (GUAPO), and VINCENT DE ROGUIN (SHORA). Taking its title from The Iliad, the music is deep, cosmic, and equally epic, completely unlike anything youd expect from three such heavyweights. More in the tradition of Nurse With Wounds Spiral Insana or Klaus Schulzes Cyborg than any contemporary trend, the tracks float along in a masterful collage of activity, where careful scene changes highlight OSullivans classic but artfully placed Rhodes bombs, De Roguins organ, and OMalleys guitar. Extraordinary effort has gone into editing, mastering, and shaping these pieces-they are not tossed off improvisations or "side-project" orphans. Housed in beautiful, custom jackets hand-printed by ALAN SHERRY of SIWA." |
|
Artist: AETHENOR Title: En Form For Bla Format: Double LP Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
| "AETHENOR is comprised of STEPHEN OMALLEY (SUNN0))), KTL), DANIEL OSULLIVAN (ULVER, MOTHLITE, GUAPO), KRISTOFFER RYGG (ULVER) and STEVE NOBLE (N.E.W., COMPANY, etc.). En Form For Bla documents the continued evolution of this unlikely collective, a collision of players from various avant, improv, metal, and "other" threads who together make a unique and arresting sound. Documenting three gigs in Oslo recorded in 2010, the album is deep and weird, with liquid sounds juddering around the occasionally identifiable percussion or Rhodes motif. In the evolution from a side project / studio group to a frequently working live act, Aethenor kept their sound intact, taking the musique-concrete-style transitions and "whats that sound" ethos of their three previous efforts directly to the stage. Noble, having spent a couple of decades playing drums with Derek Bailey and other well-known UK improvisers, moves the music along subtly, keeping much of the focus on the burbling sound mass. OMalleys guitar, an instrument of extreme viscera in Sunn0))), is used with restraint, providing occasional low menace but mostly mixing it up with OSullivans thematic lines and Ryggs sound treatments. The overall effect is atmospheric rather than sedate-something like a modern, small group version of Miles Davis classic "He Loved Him Madly" or Nurse with Wounds Spiral Insana. Other than perhaps Supersilent, no one else is working this sonic vocabulary today. Designed by OMalley, the deluxe double-LP version is pressed on white vinyl and packaged with printed inner sleeves; the CD is in a card folio. Live dates planned to follow albums release." -VHF. |

Artist: ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB Title: Octuplex Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "After a couple years in the underground wilderness, NEIL CAMPBELLs unique ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB returns to VHF with the squelching, restless ambience of Octuplex. The CD is split roughly in half between Harmonia/Voigt-style chuggers and sweeping swirls of instantly recognizable dronage, familiar to fans of Campbells extensive contributions to VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA, SUNROOF! and others. His interest in techno comes out on "Caustic Roe" and "Muscle Adductor," which neatly compile the influence of recent minimal jam innovations with piles of synth and effects noise, lending the beat-driven tracks a rough, unfussy style. Other cuts like "Muegik Churn" and "Pilgrim Sunburst" swell with twittering electric birdsong and synthetic rain, the trademark sound of many Astral titles. Octuplex is full up with collaborator cameos, including the familiar (RICHARD YOUNGS, JOHN CLYDE-EVANS), and the novel (SPIDER STACY from THE POGUES!)." -VHF |

Artist: ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB Title: s/t Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "With this release the VHF catalog moves into triple digit territory and the label is celebrating with the first official album by NEIL CAMPBELLS (VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA) genre-destroying ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB unit. Following a series of instantly sold-out limited edition CDRs, Campbell agreed to select, edit and remix a collection of tracks for wider release from the groups rather exclusive catalog. VHF100 is a dense mega-mix of continually peaking sound-flow. Working a tricky hybrid ground between contemporary UK teams like Sunroof! and Vibracathedral Orchestra, and the influence of Kompakt-style pulsating electronic "techno," Astral Social Clubs music shimmers and throbs in a truly psychedelic manner. Campbell and TIRATH SINGH NIRMALA have radically re-worked these tracks to be unrecognizable from their original CDR issues, but they are instantly recognizable as part of the unrelenting Astral Social Club rainbow stream." - VHF. |

Artist: BLACK SUN ROOF Title: Feral Format: LP + CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Feral marks the return of MATTHEW BOWERs SUNROOF! (in the guise of BLACK SUN ROOF), for their first recording in five years. Quiet since 2007s blistering Panzer Division Lou Reed, the group delivers a more introspective set here, reaching back to the fuzzy, spacey sounds of releases like the epic double-CD Bliss. Among the drifting sonic washes, theres the crude, Dead C-like riffing of "Lions + Peonies" and the lock-grooved tremolo of "Son of the Blue Wolf" (referencing previous triumphs like Cloudz). Bower says: "I have a problem with the term psychedelia [and its] negative associations of a hippie falseness. Nevertheless, my arte is, I know, deeply psychedelic in a true sense, a kind of synaesthesisia, a scrambling, an overload that seeks Samadhi in its primal gush, that will reconnect one with the all, or rather, a black psychedelia, substituting the elective current, for all...." In addition to the all-new tracks on the LP, the package also includes a bonus CD featuring a Bower-curated overview of his work. Many of the tracks on the 75-min Zebra Blood CD are from scarce or out-of-print recordings, including "Austrian Shade" from an impossible-to-find TOTAL seven-inch. Also included is the epic and exclusive new track "Spirit Animal Danzig." Includes a bonus CD with scarce and out-of-print material from various Bower projects, plus one new track." -VHF. |

Artist: FLOWER-CORSANO DUO Title: Four Aims Format: Double LP Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "The Four Aims is the much-anticipated second full-length by the long-running duo of MICK FLOWER (VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA, SUNROOF, MICHAEL FLOWER BAND) and CHRIS CORSANO (FLAHERTY/CORSANO, JANDEK, BJORK, SUNBURNED). In the couple years since their debut, The Radiant Mirror (Textile), the two have toured and recorded frequently, expanding their range to include a mind-boggling array of free sound. "I, Brute Force" kicks off the record with the electrifying sound of Flowers virtuosic, heavily amplified Japan Banjo (also known as a Shaahi Baaja) over Corsanos free-wheeling percussion. Other tracks show off subtle improv moves, with both players using extended techniques to generate a wide range of unusual sounds. Corsanos technical mastery is almost without peer in his generation (Alex Neilson, maybe)-his ability to take the lessons of nearly five decades of free playing and extend them into new ranges is startling and exciting. Rather than play backup, Corsano meets Flowers strings and organ head-on with his own drum-bowing, cello, and circular-breathing-fired melodica." - VHF |

Artist: FLYING SAUCER ATTACK Title: P.A. Blues Format: CDR Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
|
"Personal selection of live material compiled by Dave Pearce for "casual" release. The centerpiece is "P.A. Blues," a massive collage of bracing, full-on sound recorded at various 1994 shows. Moving through various moods and grooves, the piece is similar to the material on the out of print In Search Of Spaces/Live CD released a few years back on Hermes Corp, tho theres no overlap in the contet between the two CDs. Also included: the 1995 groups take on the oft-covered "She Moved Through The Fair, a subdued performance of "The Season Is Ours," and an uncirculated (and assaultive) 1994 instrumental rehearsal, which I believe pre-dates FSAs first live performance. In mini-gatefold. 4 tracks, 66 mins" - VHF.

This is Roses most diverse outing by far, with straight ragtime, heavy 12-string, and that sweet, sweet Weissenborn lap guitar all checking in. Honed during endless touring in 2004, the repertoire here is delivered with maximum authority in a series of first-take performances recorded in early 2005.

Artist: ROSE, JACK Title: Kensington Blues Format: LP Label: VHF Country: UK Price: $14.00 |
| "Fourth full-length from Jack, an inspired mix of styles and sounds that brings his in-person mastery down to CD scale. Kensington Blues is Jacks most diverse outing by far, with straight ragtime, heavy 12-string, and that sweet sweet Weissenborn lap guitar all checking in. Honed during endless touring in 2004, the repertoire here is delivered with maximum authority in a series of first-take performances recorded in early 2005. "Cathedral et Chartres" and "Calais to Dover" are dense, brooding 12 string numbers, recalling the key tracks on 2004s Raag Manifestos CD. "Calais" features a sequence of right hand picking furious enough to evoke a dream state ala Charlemagne Palestines "Stumming Music." "Rappahanock River Rag" and "Flirtin With the Undertaker" are pure syncopated ragtime, while "Kensington Blues" offers an almost regal take on the intersection of Anglo and American trad. The epic "Now That Im A Man Full Grown" was the signature piece of many of 2004s live shows, a display of mind-boggling slide invention that straddles the line of east and west ala "Yaman Blues" from the Opium Musick LP. In something of a surprise inclusion, Jacks take on Faheys "Sunflower River Blues" (long a staple of Pelt and J.R. gigs but never included on a record) is subtle and expressive, with a wonderful rise and fall that perfectly accentuates Faheys beautiful melody. LP is a new cut by John Golden, pressed by RTI, and sounds glorious. Gatefold cover."- VHF |

Compiled from a variety of sources, Raag Manifestos cuts across various acoustic styles much like Roses Opium Musick LP, but with a more aggressive attack. "Black Pearls from the River" and "Hart Cranes Old Boyfriends" are dense, serious assaults on the 12-string, with the intensity of the latter enhanced by IAN NAGOSKIs roaring electronic backdrop. With subtle tabla accompaniment by ERIC CARBONARA, "Crossing The Great Waters," is another epic modal journey in the style of Pelts "Road To Catawba" and Roses own "Red Horse." The traditional "Blessed Be the Name of the Lord" finishes off the CD on a calming note." - VHF. |

Artist: SKULLFLOWER Title: Carved Into Roses / Infinityland / Singles Format: Triple CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Recorded together and originally conceived as a double-CD back in the dark ages of 1995, Carved Into Roses and Infinityland find the transitioning from the heavy riffs of SKULLFLOWERs early days to a more free-form sound that continues to drive MATTHEW BOWERs many guises (TOTAL, SUNROOF!, HOTOTOGISU, MIRAG, etc.) to this day. The revamped lineup of Bower, STUART DENNISON, RUSSELL SMITH (of UK scuzz legend TERMINAL CHEESECAKE) and PHILLIP BEST whacks away at both styles simultaneously, with lumbering hooks meeting rainbows of coruscating feedback. Both records start with lengthy, two-chord modal jams, anchored by the guest organ of SIMON WICKHAM-SMITH. The Singles disc collects both sides (over 50 minutes) of the four 7-inch records that were released around the same time and made largely by the same lineup. Not exactly a "singles band," Skullflower nevertheless has more than a dozen releases on the format. The alternate take on "White Fang" is even more jagged and crackling than the one on Infinityland. "Choady Foster" and "Spent Force" are huge pools of sound. Among these more straightforward tunes are oddities like the live version of "Metallurgical King," and the two sides of the Village Sorting single, a studio recording featuring TIM HODGKINSON (HENRY COW, THE WORK) blowing the roof of the place on alto." -VHF. |

Artist: SUNROOF! Title: Bliss Format: Double CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "The atmosphere of this somewhat delayed yet unstoppable annual collection from long-in-the-tooth UK vibe maestro Matthew Bower and friends (who include Neil Campbell, Rosalie Bower, and maybe some other people - honestly, who can tell?) is mostly spaced and buzzing instruments and voices hovering and floating in the dense mix, all running together like some sort of alien shortwave broadcast. Disc 1 takes off from where last years Found Star Sound left us - a mix of fuzzy guitar and organ rhythms jousting with voice, bowed strings, and unidentifiable percussion in a compressed fog. Disc 2 is a headlong rush into newish territory, with analog synth vs. birdsong, childs voice vs. sawing violin, chug vs. fizz, etc. There are many tracks on both discs that have subtle (and overt) melodic and rhythmic undercurrents suggesting a fuzz/hiss-dominated alternate-universe version of say, Harmonia or Richter Band. Probably a coincidence, but very, very appealing." - VHF. |
|
Artist: SUNROOF! Title: Delicate Autobahn Under Construction Format: Double CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "The debut album release from MATTHEW BOWERs new trio, following the retirement of SKULLFLOWER and TOTAL, mines territory similar to Total, but with a more group-oriented communal trance arrangement. Taking cues from minimalist composers, Indian music and assorted folk musics, Sunroof uses guitar, violin, hand percussion and reeds to build up layer upon layer of stratospheric bliss, creating the perfect cloud for Bowers sometimes gentle, sometimes excoriating electric guitar to float on." - VHF |
|
Artist: SUNROOF! Title: Panzer Division Lou Reed Format: CD Label: VHF Country: US Price: $12.50 |
| "Beneath the usual lovely psychedelic artwork on the cover of Panzer Division Lou Reed lurks SUNROOF!s most explosive and assaultive record ever. The key track here in the Sunroof! evolution is the opener "Slew Plateaus #1," with MICK FLOWER (VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA) on guitar and JOHN MOLONEY (SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN) on drums. This live shot of electricity gradually ramps up from Flower and MATT BOWERs dueling guitars to the point where Moloneys drums come crashing in after about six minutes, leading to a furious crescendo that lasts for the remainder of the 19-minute track. "Slew Plateaus #2" is a lengthy collaboration with underground gadabout MATTIN, whose previous collabs with Tony Conrad, Bruce Russell, Eddie Prevost, et al. hopefully prepared him for the Bower wrecking ball delivered here. The other two cuts are absolutely blistering demolition work, which, in spite of their visceral impact, reach a state of zen-like stasis after a couple of minutes, a la the best of Bowers work with HOTOTOGISU." - VHF. |

Artist: SUNROOF! Title: Silver Bear Mist Format: Double CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $16.00 |

Artist: VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA Title: Dabbling With Gravity And Who You Are Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "The latest and current pinnacle from the quintet of Neil Campbell, Bridgit Riley, Julian Bradley, Michael Flower, and Adam Davenport was assembled from recordings of their weekly sessions in Flowers kitchen. The tracks here represent the joyous, celebratory side of VCO - all forward motion, massed strings, percussion, horns, and little instruments rocketing forward in a swirl of sound. Compared to the more austere sounds of recent CDs like Lino Hi and Versatile Arab Chord Chart, the tracks here take off from the spot where the loose hippie-chant-and-drum action of collectives like Amon Düül intersects with the polyglot instrumental approach of mid-60s Sun Ra (ref. "Exotic Forest," "Shadow World," etc). "There is no chord formation that can be planned," says Bridget Hayden, "which creates elation or sadness, or any art which is profound enough to change anything fundamental about a person. There is just a resonance around us which musicians and artists are using or not using." - VHF. |

Artist: VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA Title: Joka Baya Format: LP Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "The ever-mysterious VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA returns from another relatively quiet period with an uncompromising set of outre jams on a trio of limited-edition LPs. Slightly reorganized around a line-up of stalwarts MICK FLOWER and ADAM DAVENPORT with frequent collaborators JOHN GODBERT (TOTAL) and JOHN MOLONEY (SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN), the band here stretches way, way out over these six sides. Joka Baya offers up a set of shorter pieces on the A-side in a high-fidelity style that contrasts the dark, smoky sound of the rest of the tracks. The percussive grooves are overlaid with SUNROOF!!-like shimmer, stabbing electric leads, gentle acoustic rain, and droning organ peeking through at opportune moments. The roaring side-long epic on the flip is a droning, phasing slice of psychedelia with Moloneys drums battering the tape in between long stretches of humming stasis." |

Featuring the "classic" lineup (MICK FLOWER, NEIL CAMPBELL, BRIDGET HAYDEN, ADAM DAVENPORT, JULIAN BRADLEY) that made Queen of Guess and Dabbling With Gravity and Who You Are, this self-titled double takes a wild ride through the inner-workings of VCOs stream of consciousness. Many of the tracks (selected from research and development jams) cut in abruptly, continuing the informal, expansive vibe of the bands other self-released items. The thick blanket of signature drone-fog is never far away, anchoring tunes that veer from early Velvets-style rock jammers ("Thrift") to swirling electronic mystery ("Clear"). On side three, "Gist" builds up a looping, guitar-led rhythm like a lost AR & Machines track, sharing the same side with the pulsing "Floetz," which rides a taut electro-pulse bolstered by group small percussion. This lengthy two-disc album concludes with the almost side-long "Minkey," featuring the full complement of VCO sound signatures in one big, hallucinatory swirl. Exclusive to this release is a 35-minute DVD of three live performances selected by Flower. A rare chance to see some cinema verite of the group in action, the performances here (shot in the UK in 2005 and 2007) are all on the rocking side, with furious drumming and guitar strangling. Perhaps best of all is Flower and Campbells optional audio commentary track (!) on "Wisdom T," providing some insight on the how and why (and some witticisms, too)." -VHF. |

Artist: VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA Title: Smoke Song Format: LP Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "The third of three new LPs from the VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA. Smoke Songs more gentle exposition starts with ADAM DAVENPORTs santoor (a type of hammered dulcimer) leading the band into a lengthy mid-tempo groove on "Smoke Song," followed on the second half of the side by the short, quiet "Cholita Maria." The second sides 17-minute "Get It?" lays down the tremolo and phase in a manner reminiscent of the best Spacemen 3 comedowns, taking a pulse and riding it into organ- and percussion-fueled bliss." - VHF |
|
Artist: VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA Title: The Queen of Guess Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "While certainly VCOs most upbeat and percussive music, the nine tracks on this immense, visceral slab of rackety action run through a wide range of styles. Ramshackle Sunrise has a gamelan-like, five-note melody overlaid with a hovering drone. The Silent Socket rocks with Sister Ray-style guitar careening along side actual drums. The two 20-minute epics that bookend the record are a study in contrasts: Your Head Shone Like A Stone has a heavy, excited buzz, while the closing Goodnight Stars Goodnight Air is a gentler acoustic epilogue, gliding into the rosy future." - VHF. |
|
Artist: VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA Title: The Secret Base Format: LP Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "The second of three new LPs from the VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA. The Secret Base starts up at full throttle, straight into a raw-sounding live outing, with MICK FLOWERs overdriven guitar occupying the same sonic space that gives his Japan banjo / shaahi baaja workouts with CHRIS CORSANO their urgency. The sound is dark and rough, almost Xpressway-like in its claustrophobic atmosphere. The percolating krautrock stylings of "If You Cant Smoke Em" chugs along hypnotically for over 13 minutes to close out the side. The entire B-sides 20-plus minutes are devoted to the clanging free sound of "Eyes of Wood," where gamelan-like metal percussion dominates the proceedings." - VHF. |

Artist: VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA Title: Versatile Arab Chord Chart Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "The second full-length outing from the quintet of NEIL CAMPBELL, MICHAEL FLOWER, JULIAN BRADLEY, BRIDGET HAYDEN, and ADAM DAVENPORT. Like their UK cousins and fellow VHF recording artists Sunroof!, VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA usually works from a base of modal improvisation. Led by Campbells sawing violin, the group builds up arcs of lingering overtones beneath an undercurrent of melody. They cut the drones in their life with extremely effective bursts of near rock, in a style reminiscent of the pre-Nico Velvet Underground (circa 1966 or so). The bands combination of clattering percussion, droning strings, and considerable sense of where to put the "groove" makes them unique among their peers.

Artist: VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA Title: Wisdom Thunderbolt Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "Wisdom Thunderbolt marks the triumphant return of VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA (MICK FLOWER, BRIDGET HAYDEN, NEIL CAMPBELL, and ADAM DAVENPORT) after more than three years in the wilderness of intermittent performance, tangential projects, and unfindable limited editions. The seven tracks on Wisdom are the VCOs most rocking dispatch ever, neatly combining the Ra-like collage of tracks like "Wisdom Thunderbolt" with the insistent pulsing jams of "A Natural Fact" and "Order of the Broad Eraser." "Ochre Dust" and "Rainbow Whirlwind" are more in the old-school VCO thick-blanket of sound, with tuned-percussion melody peeking out from the fog. After a surprise opening, "Sway-Sage" heaves with raucous drumming (courtesy of MAGIK MARKER PETE NOLAN) under the swells of sound. Hard to imagine, but this is the first widely available music (except for the Tuning to the Rooster comp) from the VCO since 2003s acclaimed The Queen of Guess." - VHF. |

Artist: WICKHAM-SMITH, SIMON & RICHARD YOUNGS Title: 5 Years Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "5 Years is the venerable duos first release since 2001s Lammergeier. After recording and releasing nearly twenty albums between 1990 and 2001, RICHARD YOUNGS and SIMON WICKHAM-SMITH attempt an opposite approach to music making-an annual meeting to record a solitary ten-minute track. The resulting songs, each named for an intervening year, show the duo remarkably unaffected by the elapsed half-decade. Their signature mix of electronically treated percussion, ululating noise, and hand-on-the-knob tweaking continues to adapt "real human" instrumental expression to musique concrete sensibilities." - VHF. |
|
Artist: YOUNGS, RICHARD & SIMON WICKHAM-SMITH Title: 20 Years Format: LP + 3xCD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $34.00 |
| "20 Years celebrates two decades of music from RICHARD YOUNGS and SIMON WICKHAM-SMITH, featuring four previously unreleased albums. The set includes the first new vinyl from the pair in almost 15 years, plus three other projects (presented here on CD) that were all completed and intended for release by the duo in the 90s, but fell by the wayside for various reasons. 20 Years, the newly recorded LP, is one of the heaviest, most uncompromising records of the duos long career. It consists of eight electro-acoustic reworkings of their first (unreleased) recording from 1987, and is a blistering set of tracks as wild and weird as anything theyve ever done. The SMIRR CD features four epic instrumentals in the vein of classics such as LAKE and Asthma and Diabetes, flowing with extended grandeur, mixing drone and eccentric instrumentation in the duos immediately identifiable style. Songphases ten simple, lovely tunes are a reminder of their considerable "trad" songwriting and performing prowess. While Youngs has worked in this style on his solo efforts, hearing Wickham-Smith match him track for track is a revelation. "Dream Song" is among the formers most moving pieces. Finally, LIVE!!! is a head-scratcher of an album, recorded live in-studio in full-on Dadaist style--extended clavinet mania, Casio jams and plenty of outre expression. This set is packaged in a gatefold jacket with essays by DAVID KEENAN, NEIL CAMPBELL, MARC MASTERS and JON DALE and an extended interview with Youngs and Wickham-Smith. The CDs are housed in a custom-bindered insert in the pocket opposite the LP, with each disc held snug in its own die-cut pocket, and the audiophile-quality LP was cut by JOHN GOLDEN." -VHF |

Artist: YOUNGS, RICHARD & SIMON WICKHAM-SMITH Title: Lake Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "Originally issued in an edition of 300 on their No Fans label and for all intents and purposes unavailable and unheard for a decade, the tenth anniversary CD-ification of their classic debut double LP still sounds as revelatory and alien as it did when it was released. Tracks like the immortal college freak-out Dance: Help the Aged (Give Them A Heart Attack), the minimal pulse epic Chord, and the psych-fuzz rock mania of Goat have been undiluted in their majesty by the unbearable decade that has elapsed between then and now. Deep breath, keep the eyes from rolling back in the head, focus, focus, highest rating." |
|
Artist: YOUNGS, RICHARD AND ALEX NEILSON Title: Electric Lotus Format: LP + CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "This epic double set combines an LP of all-electric rock mayhem with a CD of subtle drum/shakuhachi tracks. Electric Lotus is the YOUNGS and NEILSONs self-proclaimed "rock" album, and it is a mind-boggling clutch of guitar/bass/drums demolition. Coming off like an amphetamine-fueled Guru Guru, the music tumbles out in a crazy quilt of stun-level attack zonage, especially on the side-long "Electric Lotus." Neilsons staggering free-drumming hits a new peak here, stepping beyond his laudable work with Jandek, Bonnie Prince Billy, etc., into new realms. Youngs lights it up with raging guitar and bass action, including some deeply psychedelic leads and heavy riffing. Lotus Edition is a companion CD of restrained and completely live duos for drums and shakuhachi. A couple of the tracks feature the kind of long notes, bowed cymbals, and other droneage heard on previous releases like Partick Rain Dance, but in a stripped down live setting." - VHF |

Artist: YOUNGS, RICHARD/MATTHEW BOWER Title: Site/Realm Format: LP Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
|
"Someday, the meeting that occurred between these two guitarists will be legendary. For now, its only available on the archaic 12" LP format. Matthew Bower has been carving great big swaths of sound into the collective unconscious of hundreds of young people for over a decade. His work with Skullflower, Total, Sunroof!, etc ranks as some of the most memorable and durable (not to mention enjoyable) of the "noise" era. Richard, on his own and with assorted collaborators, has been busy issuing creative and personal missives from a practically unknown and unexplored corner of the universe of sound. The music on this thing is two side long tracks for electric guitars. "Site" bakes the listener with radioactive waves of high pitched and droning feedback. After a few minutes, a zen like peace emerges from the noise, causing the listener to fall into a deep trance which induces thoughts of flowers and birds and peace and stuff. "Realm" works a slightly less dense tangent on the two guitars as atom-splitters formular, but still manages to throw off all sorts of sparks. As if all of that bragging about the music wasnt enough, the record comes housed in a beautiful fold-out jacket, lovingly hand screened and assembled by Charlestown MAs Kristin Anderson. You know her work from various Poon Village and Sound@1 releases, Ill bet. 2 tracks, about 50 minutes." - VHF.

Artist: YOUNGSBOWER Title: Relayer Format: CD Label: VHF Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "The second collaboration between these two stalwart titans of the true UK underground comes eight years after their first pairing on the Site/Realm LP. The title no doubt a nod to the odd resemblance of seven-year-old Rosalie Bowers cover art to another LP of the same title, this Relayer throws out the live methodology of the earlier LP for a dense set of layered studio recordings. Like the music of Matthew Bowers Sunroof! group, the tracks are rainbows of colors and textures with string drone, percussion, bleeps, and the unidentifiable, competing in a mix devoid of the traditional lead with backing schema. Many tracks have the kind of welcoming electronic bed seldom heard since the demise of Harmonia, with ring-modulated fuzz bleeping away over a chugging, but non-oppressive beat." - VHF. |

The title track (translation: Our Music) would become an anthem for the national Pinoy rock scene (I wrote it in the toilet, twenty minutes before going onstage. I was on acid at the time... -Pepe) and, via tracks such as Take You Home and Shake Your Brains, one can be assured that getting laid and getting wasted are truly universal pursuits!" |

Two monster proponents of noise aesthetics, representing two continents whose cultures have often been described as incompatible and yet meet in the celebration of noise. Purifying noise annihilating nationalities and differences. Noise inviting us to a fabulous sonic orgy where energy will reign over precision of execution, where violence is sublimated through strings, reeds and skins, where artistic research consists in destroying over and over what one has managed to build, in order to reinvent it. Two sax players, two guitar players, an electronics player, a singer and a drummer, all working hard to convince you that noise can be a lot more than noise, but exists mostly for making some noise!" --François Couture |

| "*WALLY GONZALEZs second solo release from 1978 steps things up a notch, leading off with "Kailan Pa Kaya," a sludgy explosion of powerful drumming and shards of Albini-esque guitar. Another solid collection of Pinoy Rock with improved production over his debut, plus the quaint addition of some wiggy ARP bits that carbon-date everything with astounding precision. Head bangers should start here. Retiring from the scene in the 80s and 90s to help with the family business, Wally recently returned to the stage, a joyous occasion for his legions of fans: "Im just here to play the guitar and have fun."

In keeping with the tenets of the Pinoy Rock movement, all vocals and song titles are in the native tongue save for "Rock & Roll, Mama," a blistering instrumental." |

Artist: BLATCHLEY, JOSHUA EMERY Title: VDSQ- Solo Acoustic Volume One Format: LP Label: Vin Du Select Qualitite Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Id like to introduce you to a new label that is a joint effort between Steve Lowenthal (Plastic Records, Swingset Magazine) and Rob Mason (Old Flame Records), Vin Du Select Qualitite. The first three releases planned for early fall release include the debut recording from Joshua Blatchley (A new voice in the Ragtime and American Primitive guitar-playing lineage, Blatchley offers a unique interpretation of both new and traditional compositions. Blatchley performs in the band Mountain Home with Marissa Nadler and Greg Weeks of Espers.), Mark McGuire, who plays guitar in Cleveland drone heroes Emeralds, and session-man, indie rock legend Chris Brokaw, who played in bands such as Codeine, Come, The New Year, Pullman, and the New Wave Bandits and many others. The series will be released on high quality LP with letterpressed sleeves, each with a picture of the guitar used to record the albums. Track-by-track liner notes will also be included. ⿿The idea behind VDSQ was really to create a label that was a nod to the great guitar-oriented labels like Takoma and Transatlantic but focusing on contemporary artists rather than reissues, said Lowenthal. ⿿I tried to curate a series that transcended genre and really pull together some exceptional musicians from different geographic and musical scenes. The goal is to hopefully bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary styles of music all within the context of acoustic guitar music. The process of each edition of the series is such that it really lets the personality of the player come to the forefront so each record really reflects the essence of the personality of the players. The first run is 500 of each LP" - Vin Du Select Qualitite. |

Artist: PIC NIC Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Vinilissimo Country: Spain Price: $26.00 |
| "A recording of disarming delicacy, the only album by Pic Nic was released by the Hispavox label in the hazy year of 1968 after the short, one-year life of the five-piece, and it featured an innocent and touching cover which immediately invited people to find out what was behind it. The formation of the group began in 1966 Barcelona after the split of Brenners Folk, a short-lived band created by the Venezuelan musician Vytas Brenner. They included most of the original members of what later would become Pic Nic, mainly guitarist Toti Soler, then 17, Jordi Sabatés and, of course, Jeanette. The rest of Pic Nics line-up was completed by Isidoro "Doro" de Montaberry and Mexican Mario Alfonso "Al" Cárdenas. Jeanette (real name Janette Anne Dimech, born in London in 1951) was a child of the diaspora; her mother was from the Canary Islands and her father from the former Belgian Congo. From her native England the family had moved to the United States, where she would remain until she arrived in Barcelona as a 14-year-old, her tender voice carrying the echoes of Californian folk-rock. Rafael Turia, a radio man and neat interpreter of Donovan songs in Spanish for Discos Belter, introduced them to the Hispavox label. Their official story starts after their meeting with the Madrid record company. Producer Rafael Trabucchelli got involved and that was it. He changed their original name to Pic Nic and chose Jeanette as their vocalist. They recorded their first single, Cállate Niña/Negra Estrella (1967), which sat at number one on the charts for 10 weeks. After their equally-successful second single Amanecer/No Digas Nada (1968), they got working on what would be their only LP. The album possesses a rare pre-adolescent lyricism, and Trabucchellis arrangements and production transforms their folk ballads into something never heard before, or since, in Spain. Besides the Vytas Brenner song "Te Esperaré," the covers of Peter, Paul And Marys "Tiny Sparrow," Janis Ians "Societys Child" and the only track sung in English, bluesman Jesse Fullers "San Francisco Bay Blues," are remarkable and their renditions rival the originals. However, theres no better track than "Cállate Niña" to define the spirit of the album: a lullaby sung by two small girls after the death of the mother of one of them, it overflows with melody despite its simplicity, and its use of triangle, harmonica and a male backing vocal provide an absolutely ghostly quality. Jeanette would start a successful solo career two years later, covering songs written by Manuel Alejandro, José Luis Perales and André Popp. After that, Pic Nic never recorded another record. Includes an insert with liner notes in Spanish and English. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl in a limited edition of 1,000 copies only." -Vinilisssimo |

Artist: VAINICA DOBLE Title: Heliotropo Format: LP Label: Vinilissimo Country: Spain Price: $26.00 |
| "Heliotropo (Ariola, 1973), the second LP by Vainica Doble, strikes me as the discovery of the world in little more than half an hour -- a treatise on the human condition, from childhood until death, based on the small things. Themes on this album include disappointment and the necessary courage to face mistakes, the road that lies between perception and memory and that vital path that appears once we have cleared out the fallen leaves that were hiding it. Its the recalled memories that will make up our life, as life is just firm present and feeble past. Carmen Santonja and Gloria van Aerssen speak to us, sometimes as the worried mother, other times as the warm lover that whispers secrets in our ear and, finally, as the slightly older friend, wiser and more experienced, who tries to show us lifes twists and turns. They possessed an intellectual and vital knowledge light years away from their contemporaries, an unusual curiosity and talent, and their musical references were as wide as scarce were their prejudices. Often considered two kind and sensitive angels, they were indeed that and much more too: malevolent, sweet, sarcastic, intelligent. From each of their tracks flowed a power and talent that showed us a thousand ideas. Social commentary, folk and fuzz hand-in-hand, treatises of luminous psychedelia born out of a childrens tale, the scent of the southern seas, and more. They carried Spanish copla and traditional songs in their hearts and the old (even then) musical movies of the 40s in their memories -- all of it strung together by a decadent melancholy that provokes an almost unhealthy attraction. What in others were anomalies poured from Vainica Doble as something natural, fluent, truthful. Nothing in them seemed forced: rock, copla, folk, French chanson, nursery rhymes, etc. And standing behind it all is the great Pepe Nieto: arranger, producer, and artisan who was able to reproduce and support their natural, iconoclastic personalities. Their songs were and still are buoys of memory. Familiar places in which to find shelter. Every time we visit them something wonderful happens." --Ximo Bonet. Vainica Doble were one of the most unique artists in Spanish music. On Heliotropo, they brought together rock, folk, Spanish copla, French chanson and lullabies to create music completely their own. Deluxe gatefold 180 gram reissue with original artwork and liner notes." - Vinilissimo. |

Artist: DISEÑO CORBUSIER Title: El Alma de la Estrella Format: LP Label: Vinilisssimo Country: Spain Price: $26.00 |
| "In the mid-80s, Granada was a small redoubt of avant-garde resistance. While Madrid bragged about being the capital of the new wave scene -- the much-trumpeted Movida madrilène -- away from any media interest, the Andalusian city was part of a European-wide network where the free circulation of ideas and knowledge could be linked to the current CopyLeft movement -- an international scene where musicians were editors and the artists were equally fans. They exchanged music following that do-it-yourself philosophy in which the cassette had an ideal role as the vehicle of music diffusion. Ani Zinc would become an expert amateur of such activities. As a child, there were no records in her home in Andújar, but radio gave her company. It was her only contact with music. She received her first shock listening to "Remember Love," the repetitive song by Yoko Ono. She later found out about Llorenç Barber. Only when she arrived in Granada to study psychology did she discover that she wasnt the only one that liked a kind of music that didnt resemble anything. Granadas proximity to Africa made it possible to tune into Arabic, flamenco and pop radio stations. She would record those sounds with a radio cassette and with her own hands she would cut and paste the magnetic tape. Unable to get that Yoko Ono song out of her mind, she started discovering the possibilities of her voice. Diseño Corbusier was born out of that obsession and also out of the electronic explorations of Javier G. Marín, then a first-year law student. They had met in 1981 after an ad in the music magazine Vibraciones. "If youre into bands like Cabaret Voltaire or Flying Lizards, call me," wrote Marín. If their first record (Pérfido encanto, 1985) was a vibrant experiment where the rhythms werent yet muscled up, with El Alma de la Estrella the duo took a step ahead. They renovated some electronic equipment and signed a distribution deal between their own label, Auxilio de Cientos, and one of the most prosperous Spanish independents of the 80s, Nuevos Medios, who were working with labels such as Factory at the time. Marín had been advised: if the rhythm cant be danced to the records wont sell. It was 1986 and he was constantly listening to DAF. El Alma de la Estrella gathered all of Zincs obsessions. On "Chiquillo" she imitated the angry womens voices which filled the streets of the poor neighborhood where she had grown up. "Ritmo 21" cant hide her admiration for Yoko Onos vocal register and "El Club del Ruido" came about as a fragmented document of an interview they did on the radio show of the same name. Marín created rhythm structures with which to organize the material. This time, he replaced an archaic Korg synthesizer with a powerful Roland SH101, and the tiny drum machine Boss DR-55 with a German-built one that used real percussion sounds: the MFB-512. Rather than electronic or even industrial music, Diseño Corbusiers second album was a vibrant piece of domestic craftwork. Very few got to hear it, but you get to hear it now. On 180 gram vinyl with insert. Limited, hand-numbered edition of 500 copies." -Vinilisssimo. |

Artist: DISEÑO CORBUSIER Title: Perfido Encanto Format: LP Label: Vinilisssimo Country: Spain Price: $28.00 |
 "180 gram vinyl reissue with insert. 1982: Dragged by decades of international isolation, Madrid and Granada performed, unaware and in their own way, the same roles that London and Sheffield had assumed during the punk explosion in the UK. While the capital grabbed headlines and considered itself the epicenter of modernity, 400 kilometres southwards, Granada developed an experimental scene despite the scarce resources available. Pérfido Encanto is Diseño Corbusiers first contribution to a European-wide scene where electronic instruments rose up against the media domination of guitars. They first got together when Ani Zinc, a psychology student without any previous musical experience, met two law students obsessed with the power of machines but with different approaches. Rafael Flores believed in the extreme noise of bands like Throbbing Gristle as a source of endless energy. Javier G. Marín had a sexier concept of synthesizers. The outcome was natural: Marín and Ani Zinc amicably parted ways with Flores, who would have a remarkable career under the alias Comando Bruno. Under the name Auxilio de Cientos, Maríns intention was to provide distribution to those unclassifiable projects he knew through fanzines, radio shows and record trading. Anis intention didnt go beyond spending time manipulating her voice on the cassettes she recorded. But one of her collage tracks reached national radio. Signed as by Neo Zelanda, "Paso hambre," consisting only of a treated, menacing and magnetic vocal, was played one night and the calls brought the radio station to a standstill. The record label DRO quickly signed her. The deal was for two singles: one with said track and another one for Diseño Corbusier. The latter never happened, so Marín decided his humble distribution company would become a label. And its first release would not be a single but an LP. The Korg synthesizer was the perfect tool for those who didnt know how to play and would never go to music school. The Boss DR-55 rhythm machine had a sweet appearance but a devastating character. A radio cassette player plugged into a Revox was the recording studio. And finally, Ani Zincs microphone: naivety made intention. Pérfido Encanto quickly sold its 500-copies run, more than half outside Spain." -Vinilissimo.

"Though its Rent-a-wreck homage to the Doors, the Mothers and Jimi Hendrix is immensely satisfying in a Teddy & His Patches sort-of-way, it wasnt the music on Outrageous which still leaves 21st century listeners gasping. No no no, the genius of this 1968 album is all contained in the dizzyingly portentous and truly whacked-out vocal delivery which Fowley chooses to foist upon us, And its a delivery which, I might add, entirely pre-empted 70s Iggy Pop and must have (at least temporarily) kicked Jim Morrisons dick into the dust. And hearing the various members of Steppenwolf trying to keep up with Fowleys heart attack vocalese is mesmerizing in itself. And all this at a time when iconoclastic recording acts were commonplace enough to be almost expected." -Julian Cope. |

Artist: VAINICA DOBLE Title: Taquicardia Format: Double LP Label: Vinilisssimo Country: Spain Price: $29.00 |
| "180 gram vinyl reissue of one of Vainica Dobles strongest and most experimental albums. Folk, jazz, pop and traditional Spanish music create a beautifully haunting and captivating LP. "In 1984, the Spanish Movida movement was in full bloom and the people taking part in it professed the same devotion to Vainica Doble that British punk displayed towards teen idols such as Marc Bolan. But it would be hard to find a record from those years more impervious to the Movida than Taquicardia, the authors of which seemingly didnt know about such admiration or didnt care about it. Eternal dilettantes, it wasnt strange that the career of Gloria van Aerssen (born in 1932 in Dos Hermanas, Seville) and Carmen Santonja (San Sebastian, 1934) moved forward, most of the time, due to the encouragement of a fan. But this jump without safety net, as Mario Pacheco described it, only could have happened on a label as pathologically respectful towards its artists as Pachecos Nuevos Medios imprint, and at a vital point such as the one the duo were going through during the middle of the decade. It was his enthusiasm which took them out of their silence to record their sixth album and the end of a cycle, as their later recordings would finally be an epilogue of what culminated here magnificently. Elegant, classic, austere and, nevertheless, sounding at times like genuine avant-garde, Taquicardia is the reflection of a critical stage in the life of its authors. Disillusioned by the poor repercussion of their two previous albums for Guimbarda, the outstanding El Eslabón Perdido (1980) and El Tigre De Guadarrama (1981), Gloria and Carmen had found themselves at the peak of mature age and empty-handed. The duo delivers here their most personal, introspective and bitter work, which surprisingly becomes, as if by magic, a superb collection of calls to chaos, libertarian fables and exultant love songs. Passion becomes idolatry, gallant coplas (Spanish popular songs) are touched by grace, pieces of marital bitterness, all of which culminates in an anthem of incredible beauty such as Sígueme, clean, stripped, overwhelming. Gloria declared being so ashamed of the tracks almost pastoral tone that she refused being credited for it. Of course, its her voice which will make the song remain forever. Stripped of the glitz they had displayed in the preceding years, its harder to find here the source of popular and academic music which could usually be heard in their music. But that clarity allows us, more than ever, to enjoy the boldness of many of their song structures and, of course, their vocal harmonies. These two pieces of vinyl contain their most refined work." --César Sánchez aka Fulgencio Pimentel; Liner notes in English and Spanish by César Sánchez." -Vinilissimo. |

Artist: ANT TRIP CEREMONY, THE Title: 24 Hours Format: LP Label: Vinyl Lovers Country: Russian Federation Price: $26.00 |
| "A fleeting moment of inspired folk rock/psychedelia, recorded at Oberlin College in 1968 by four college students and one local teen. The band was the brainchild of student and guitarist Steve DeTray who had just returned to school after a brief hiatus in Utah, where he was undoubtedly inspired by the whole West Coast psychedelic rock scene. Upon returning to Oberlin DeTray recruited some friends who had already been playing together in a blues band. After a year spent playing a mix of covers and original material, mostly at on-campus and off-campus parties, the boys decide to commit their moment in history to vinyl, recording 24 Hours in two sessions with the help of fellow student David Crosby (not of CSN&Y fame, as is sometimes claimed). The original pressing was just 300 copies that were then sold mainly to friends and local fans, and soon became one of those rare collectibles from which several low-quality bootlegs were made. This album has been digitally remastered and features the original sleeve art. 180 gram vinyl." -Vinyl Lovers |

Artist: SUN RA Title: Piano Recital (Teatro La Fenice In Venice) Format: LP Label: Vinyl Lovers Country: Russian Federation Price: $26.00 |
| "Sun Ra was an extremely prolific artist and while hundreds of recordings exist of Sun Ra, there are only a handful where he can be heard playing solo. This amazing and rare solo performance recorded live in 1977 at the world-famous La Fenice opera house in Venice, and featuring Sun Ra playing a mix of standards as well as his own material on piano, is a rewarding journey into the repertoire of one of the most controversial and unorthodox musicians in the history of jazz." - Vinyl Lovers |

Artist: SUN RA ARKESTRA Title: Egypt Strut Format: LP Label: Vinyl Lovers Country: Russian Federation Price: $26.00 |
| "In 1983 Sun Ra travelled to Egypt -- the land of great African kings and perhaps descendants of an alien race, and therefore, a kind of spiritual homeland for Ra -- to record two compositions by the godfather of Egyptian jazz, percussionist Salah Ragab. The second piece, Dawn, is a composition based on an Islamic hymn sung during the Arabic month of Shawall and features Ra playing the Hohner melodica. This record is particularly significant because, despite Ras enormous discography and tours to all corners of the globe, this is one of the few times he ever recorded with a non-African American musician. Perhaps Ra was intrigued by the fact that the two men shared the same initials? Or perhaps he was drawn to his exceptional talent as a percussionist... knowing Ra it was probably a little of both. Also includes Watusa, recorded live at Il Capo Jazz club in Cairo in January 1984. Backcover notes by Hartmut Geerken." -Vinyl Lovers |

Artist: BATTIATO, FRANCO Title: Foetus Format: LP Label: Vinyl Magic Country: Italy Price: $35.00 |
| "An internationally known artist, Franco Battiato has been everything in his long career, from beat singer to avantgarde performer, producer, and contemporary music composer. His beginnings lay in the mid 60s, with many singles released with no particular success, the first two under his real name of Francesco. He had left his native Sicily (he was born in Jonia, near Catania in 1945) moving to Milan around 1965. In 1970 after his collaboration with Osage Tribe (that he quit before their only album Arrowhead) he had a record deal with Bla Bla, releasing his first solo album in 1972. Foetus, housed in a outrageous cover (reproducing a foetus) was definitely a prog album, but a very original one, with a minimalist sound mainly based on the use of a VCS3 synth, unusual lyrics, complex arrangements. Two tracks, Energia and Una cellula were also released as single. Produced by Pino Massara in the 70s, Foetus remained unreleased until 1999, when Vinyl Magic finally released it on CD (VM CD 065). This little gem of Italian progressive music is now reissued in its most suitable format, as a black 180 gram vinyl enclosed in a beautiful argent laminated cover." - Vinyl Magic. |

Artist: INNOCENTS Title: Caen 1982 Format: Double 7" Label: Vinyl Vidi Vici Country: France Price: $17.00 |
| "First recordings by this band formed by four musically inept students in Caen, France, 1978, and originally called Les Stukas. Innocents played their first shows in 1980, alongside Theatre (one single on FLVM), Les Spurts, and Brainwash - "there was, among others, a show where Koko (bass) was threatened at gunpoint by a hysterical person, one at an anti-nuclear festival full of pacifist hippies (there was a fight, anyway), and one in a psychiatric hospital (featuring a nutcase masturbating in a window)." A planned tour was thwarted by compulsory military duty, after which they recorded six songs at the Melody Music studio in Caen: four of them are here, another one was compiled on the 1984 "13 Rock a Caen" compilation. Gatefold sleeve and an (inkjet-printed) insert with more info and lyrics (all in French)." - Vinyl Vidi Vici |

Artist: CRASH COURSE IN SCIENCE Title: Crash Course In Science Format: 3 LP/ 7" Box Set Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $108.00 |
|
"Legendary minimal-synth/wave-band from Philadelphia formed in 1979. Choosing toy instruments and live drums out of necessity, CCIS began by experimenting with a series of recording devices. The toy instruments gave way to crude drum machines and Frankenstein-type homemade instruments. Their first 7" (also included with bonus tracks in this set) introduced listeners to a noisy, unpredictable world. This 7" went on to become a classic minimal-synth record that should be included in any vinyl-collection. In 1981 they took a new direction with a darker, more sinister sound. The result was the 12" Signals from Pier Thirteen (also included in this set are 8 unreleased demo tracks from this period). The songs Cardboard Lamb and Flying Turns gained exposure through club play during the 80s and still sound fresh and up-to-date. Two live performance recordings from 1980 and 1981 are also part of this box set, including CCIS opening for the Philip Glass ensemble in Philadelphia. The third LP Near Marineland contains completed mixes of previously unreleased studio material (along with some remixes of this material) arranged and produced by John Wicks, CCISs original producer. After listening to this box set you will be convinced and have no doubt about CCIS being the godfather of 90s techno music and their ultimate protagonist-role. They remain an inspiration pool for many elektro bands/artists today." - Vinyl on Demand.

"Early eighties sound-project and conceptual work from 1984 also known as Gerry Belz. Worlds of music ringed out on our planet. Simultaneously blown out, not attuned but still tuned incidentally, partly at on purpose. In 1984, Die Tödliche Doris was given the chance for such a coincidence of two different worlds. They were invited to compose the music for a fashion-show in the Deplane Kunsthalle Berlin. For the first time, this fully documented composition consists of 24 Audiotapes with sounds and music-recordings which were recorded and then played with different technically defect tape-recorders and which were accompanied of the band Gerry-Belz-Showband which has been selected from the employment-office in Berlin. The repertoire of the three olderly men did consist of the usually well-known evergreens of entertainment and light-music.
Die Tödliche Doris is sometimes referred to an industrial-band. In fact, the group has played and cooperated with SPK and Twin Vision. If there is any music of the band which can be referred to Industrial, then it is this project here, which was only released in certain pieces to this point." - Vinyl-On-Demand.

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

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

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

| "Gerechtigkeits Liga is the band/project which evolves around Till Brüggemann. In the early 80s, GL traveled to London to meet up with Domnik Guerin of Twin Vision/SPK. Dominik introduced them to Graeme Revell and Brian Williams of Lustmord, who were running Side Effects Records and both of them decided to release an album by GL. Two more GL tracks were also released on the seminal compilation Vhutemas Archetypi, which also featured groups like Laibach, Lustmord & SPK. The band is known for their mystical, almost martial and epic sounds, which can easily upset the listeners emotions. Nothing for weak nerves. VOD and TB compiled a perfect supplement to the LP Hypnotischer Existenzialismus. The double LP set covers the very early musical period of the band, including outtakes, tape-contributions, a live performance from L.A., as well as a Berlin atonal performance.

GRIM is an absolutely amazing, almost schizophrenic and obscure power-electronics and noise-one-man project of Jun Konagaya. Juns sound changes its mood and atmosphere in seconds. From extreme harsh and hard power electronic noise-walls to ingenious folk-songs and tunes as you know it from Charles Manson. In the very early 80s Jun formed White Hospital together with Tomosada Kuwabara. They released one album called Holocaust in 1984 and split. At that time Jun had already released the Vital tape with his project GRIM. Kuwuhara moved on to form Vasilisk while Jun continued as GRIM releasing one LP, 12" and 7" as well as contributing to several compilations during the 80s." - Vinyl-On-Demand. |

"Shadows out of Time is a collection of three LPs with unreleased and formerly cassette-only material from Hunting Lodge, representing the first blush of their creativity, a time when each sonic experiment festered into a beautiful sore. Dark ambient, noise, power electronics, all represented here before these pigeons had holes in which to fit. One LP is comprised of the now-legendary Exhumed, which was formerly released cassette-only, heard here in better shape than ever - direct-metal mastered from the original two-track mixes. The second LP is all unreleased material, highlights of which include never-heard gems from the recordings for the promotional cassette 23 Minutes Of Murder. On the flip-side, both literally and figuratively, are the electro-disco-teckno recordings used for intermission music at Hunting Lodge live shows in 1983. The final LP contains live material which was formerly cassette-only, including tracks from At The Harrington Ballroom and S/M Operations Live, as well as much of the formerly unreleased Live At The Lodge. Oft-bootlegged, this performance is pressed here direct from the original masters, representing the two-piece early noise-unit of Hunting Lodge in harrowing live intensity. Furthermore featured in the box-set is an additional bonus 7" including studio cover version of John Wrights Stellazine Shuffle b/w Learn to Will II, formerly released on Nekrophile Rekords Beast 666 cassette compilation in 1983. These LPs and 7" are presented with period-accurate, gloriously bold, black and white artwork. Each LP comes in its own printed sleeve inside of a box printed with the Thomas Nordstrom artwork previously only seen on early Hunting Lodge stationery. Also included are liner notes by Jeff Central Chenault and recording details, including information on equipment used, and never before seen photos of live Hunting Lodge and of collectors minutiae.

"unreleased (Der) Plan or Pyrolator-like material from early eighties." - Vinyl On Demand. "Hermann loves Amanda Lear and Paul Vrilio. Hermann started to make music
because the radio never played what he wanted to hear. He was taught to
play Violin for 5 years but never learned to play with the left hand so
that the tone would vibrate. With his first synthesizer Hermann has
played songs like John Caless "Heartbreak Hotel" and "I wanna be a good
boy" by Ramones.
Hermann made "Industrial-pop" with the german group "Keine Ahnung".
Hermann is somehow in charge of the "violent-movie-movement" with his
soundtracks for Jörg Buttgereit-movies. Hermann has played a lonely man
in the movie "Todesking" which will commit suicide in a bath-tub.
Hermanns first 12" is called "Aquaplaning in Venedig" which is long
deleted and highly collectable to minimal-wave collectors. SO is his
second M-Lp.
Hermann lives in Katalonien, but this can change very quick.
Hermann has his own style of music and usage of voice, hard to compare
to anything else. Very minimal, intellectual and dark on the one hand,
obscure, excentric, intellectual and somehow funny lyrics on the other
hand. Hermann Kopp, nothing else but Hermann Kopp." - Vinyl On Demand.Numbered editon of 500 in full color jackets.

Artist: LILES, ANDREW Title: Miscellany Deluxe Format: Double LP Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $43.00 |
| "Much of the music included in this set is exclusive to this vinyl version of Miscellany. Andrew Liles has compiled a comprehensive anthology including as much varied, interesting and unreleased material as possible. He spent many an afternoon sifting through piles of cassettes seeking the oldest and arguably most definitive pieces of music from literally hundreds of hours of tape. The earliest recordings on these discs date back to 1984. Find a New Husband was made on Liles fathers very cheap Amstrad tape-to-tape system. The tape machine ceased to work properly shortly thereafter. This track was the result or many hours of rewinding and re-playing and re-recording, and thus began Liles fascination, obsession and addiction with tape-manipulation, sound FX and recording techniques. Listening back to some of these works reminds us of the archaic and laborious fashion in which music used to be created and assembled. In hindsight the merits of working with tape compared to digital technologies seem to be the random nature of what would happen. Tape bleed, mishaps, the low-fi quality and errors seemed to give unique and often unpredictable results. Many of Andrew Liles early experimentations and accidental consequences are included in this collection. Also included are selections from his two self-released cassettes under the name Lividity. The Lividity tapes were given away to friends and sent as demos to assorted labels. Some 20 years later it is very doubtful that any of them exist other than the two remaining copies Andrew Liles has kept tucked away in some forgotten corner." -Vinyl On Demand |

Changez Les Blockeurs was originally issued in 1982, in a private edition of 100 copies, later issued on CD by the Urthona label and is one of the universal icons of post-Industrial "noise".

"Luigi Russolo is widely credited as being the first major noise theorist with his 1913 Art Of Noise manifesto. And, of course, composers like Arnold Schoenberg, John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen played their part in breaking with classically established harmonic systems. Lou Reeds epochal Metal Machine Music signposted a way of breaking free of the impasse created by the endgames of the mid-20th century avant garde... But contemporary noise artists like The New Blockaders and Einsturzende Neubauten were the first to progress from the use of noise as assault on tonality to the development of a rich, complex language capable of subtelties of shades and nuance without sacrificing any of its feral power or ability to unlock repressed personae in the listener..." - The Wire.

| "Lest We Forget is a collection compiled from the earliest recordings by Nocturnal Emissions, a group founded by Nigel Ayers, his brother Daniel Ayers and Caroline K in 1980. It is comprised of material previously only available on cassettes as well as tracks recorded under their earlier name, The Pump. The Nocturnal Emissions were active in what has been known as cassette culture and explored the medium of underground cassette exchange in parallel with their better known vinyl releases and live performances. They used the available technology of the day in a spirit which seems to have anticipated modern social networking through the Internet. This series of documents offers a rare glimpse at audio sketchbooks; raw, unfinished works-in-progress and live performances by the group. It covers a wide range of musical style by a group who were committed to radical experimentation in both form and content. The box set also contains some previously unreleased tracks from the early 80s which sound surprisingly contemporary and fresh. The group has undergone several mutations since these early recordings and continued into 21st century as a solo project by Nigel Ayers. Caroline K left the group in 1984 and produced one solo album before adopting a more private life. She remained a good friend and lived in England, Sri Lanka, and finally in Italy. She married Danny Ayers in 2001. While the edit of this collection was being assembled, she took ill with leukemia and died during hospital treatment a few days later. Carolines distinctively moody electronics, vocals and bass guitar feature strongly on these albums. We offer this box set as a tribute to her life and work."

You will be confronted with strong shouts and there will be violent (sound) charges, which run into the state of ...No Solution. Back then they called it primal industrial-punk. And thats Non Toxique Lost. Its music that will put you into a dream state as well..." - Vinyl-On-Demand.

Artist: NORMA LOY Title: Message From The Dead Format: Double LP/DVD Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $47.00 |
|
"Superb compilation of French cold-wave/goth legend Norma Loy starting with their very first recorded track from 81 to unreleased demos/rehearsals/live to unreleased treasures. In 1981, Usher and Chelsea formed Norma Loy. The band launched its first EP, the first one of its cold-wave-kind in France. Norma Loy searched for their identity and multiplied there experiences on the side, leading to the creation in 1984 of their own label, CPM, which produced a second EP distributed by New Rose: Psychic Altercation whose psychoanalytic rock gave the setting for later productions. CPM developed its own philosophy and centralized the different activities of the group (musical and non musical ones: (photo)graphic ones, literature, video making, dance etc...) and controls the entire artistic production (recordings, LP covers, song books...). A particular emphasis was drawn on the concerts mixing music and slide projections. Over the past 25 years, many excellent records have been released such as Rewind/T.Vision (86), Sacrifice (88) and the last part of the trilogy called Rebearth."

"It all started sometime at the dawn of the 80s by two Canadian brothers, Darrin and Stephen Huss while living with their parents in Edmonton, Alberta. The first and only synthesizer based act in our whole region, were joined by third member Dwayne Goettel and subsequently formed the band Psyche. A combination of horror and electronics that in the area of Western Canada was completely unheard of and would continue to be considered quite shocking until the music finally caught on. When the Huss family moved to Waterloo, Ontario, Darrin and Stephen took time out from their school work to lay down what would become this official debut album of Psyches music. With fearlessly experimental electro-titles such as Children Carry Knives, Psychic Vampire, Maggots, and The Brain Collapses. Under the disguised names Evan Panic (Darrin), and Anthony Red (Stephen) Psyche, with release on hand prepared themselves for a proper onslaught on the further unsuspecting Canadian audience, and the rest of the world. This 3 album edition of Insomnia Theatre also contains the 4-Track recordings while Dwayne was a member, as well as several rare direct to cassette demos, the tracks of Tales From The Darkside, as well as our now collectable 12" of Thundershowers.

Rapoon uses the musical construction techniques of loops and rhythmic repetition as a kind of platform for inducing a sort of trance like reception. The tracks chosen on this box-set are taken directly from the original 4 track cassettes. These recordings are sometimes copies of complete mixes that found their way onto released albums, sometimes sub-mixes and parts of mixes, and sometimes elements that were never used in any released material.

Artist: SLEEP CHAMBER Title: SixSixSix Format: 4LP/7" Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $110.00 |
|
"SixSixSix iz a collection ov material from the first 6 years ov Sleep Chamber. Mastermind John Zewizz gave permission to Theebradmiller.blogspot.com and VOD-Records to choose the tracks. The outcome reveals and demands for a renewed and extended perception of Sleep Chambers artistic synthesis of the last 30 years. On LP1 as well as the 7" you will find pure and very strong minimal synth-tunes from his very early cassette-only releases like Ze Wizz Kidz (released 82 but recorded in 79/80), Dream Distillate (82) or Music for Mannequin (83). LP2 and LP3 reveals so far unreleased recordings from 82 to 87 that range from minimal to the typical percepted Sleep Chamber-sound as known from the mid 80s. The two LPs are furthermore riddled with alternative versions, demos and unreleased tracks, based around the Admit to Desire-period. Any Sleep Chamber admirer would be in the Garden ov Eden with such a selection especially when listening to LP4 which is an unreleasd LP called Seremony, recorded in the beginning of thee Satanic Sanction Session in 1985/86. This completes the leak ov the Sleep Chamber vaults for another six years." -Vinyl-On-Demand

"Side 1 of the LP comprises full length versions of the the first two Storm Bugs singles; namely the 5 track Table Matters EP (1980) and the Metamorphose single (1981). Whilst tracks from these singles have appeared on compilations before, this is the first time they are being presented in their entirety. This means the first re-issue of the spoof industrial rockabilly track Tin and the vocal version of Make Customer Matter. The tracks have been digitally re-mastered from virgin un-played copies of the two discs. While side 1 displays Storm Bugs now infamous post-punk DIY sound with much use of scratched vinyl, disemboweled radios and home made electronics, side 2 of the LP contains tracks made exclusively with the unique British synthesizer, the VCS3. The VCS3 has a matrix pin patch bay in which any module can be connected to any other module, resulting in complex feedback loops and unexpected modulations. The VCS3 tracks which include Hodge, Slip Slap and Hiemal (And She Blew) are all taken from original Snatch Tapes cassette releases. This is the first time most have appeared on vinyl, and of course this means the gorgeous heavyweight VOD vinyl we have come to know and love." - Vinyl-On-Demand.

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

Artist: TAZARTES, GHEDALIA Title: Works 1977-1979 Format: 4 LP Box Set + 10" Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $148.00 |
|
"4LP-Box with 10" Tazartes Transports, Tazartes, Diaspora, Une Eclipse Totale De Soleil, and Quelque Part Quelquun. The French artist and autodidact Ghedalia Tazartes who is born in Paris in 1947 is a true nomad spending more than 30 years within musical practice and experimentation. Ghedalia is the orchestra and a pop group all in one person: the self is multitude and others, freely connecting the sounds, the rhythms, his voice, his voices. The extra-European music opens the ear to Ghedalias intra-European exotism. The permanent metamorphosis is a principle of composition; it escapes control, refuses classification, diametrical to the purists of synthetic culture and technocrates of noise. He wanders through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. Utilizing magnetic tape recorders, he paves the way for the electric and the vocal paths, between the muezzin psalmody and the screaming of a rocker. He traces vague landscapes where the mitre of the white clown, the plumes of the sorcerer, the helmet of a cop and Parisian anhydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies. This box concentrates on his early works from 1977-1979 and his four officially released vinyl-LPs plus a 10" of an unreleased work from 1978. All the material is superbly remastered for vinyl by Anders Peterson of www.ghostsounds.net pushing the overall quality and dimension in sound to an amazing new level and experience." - Vinyl-On-Demand.

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

They have become known for their controversial performances and imagery because they focused on the presentation of art and live events of an extreme nature. Acts that have performed at Club Moral have included Non (Boyd Rice), Coup de Grace (Michael Moynihan), Slave State, Gerechtigkeits Liga, - Delta t, John Duncan, Angst, AR/TE, ProduKtion, Jack Stevenson, ConDom and many more. This box-release should give an audio- and visual overview and insight into the work of and at Club Moral and their two protagonists, DDV and AMVK. It will take you beyond the highly sought after vinyl-release of To All Who Are Interested from 1989 and will focus on the very early stage of Club Morals work including acclaimed pieces of close friends and collaborators." - Vinyl-on-Demand. |

different recording. Its a little confusing what the differences are
between the two versions, the label described it to us like this: "The Lp-2
Set is an audience performance, a bit rougher but longer (e.g. Einstürzende
Neubauten Kollaps is 7 minutes on DVD/CD but 10 minutes on Lp) J and it
contains bonus to the CD/DVD (CD/DVD appr. 70 minutes each, 2LP 2 is 100
minutes in total)." - Vinyl On Demand.

Another ex-Monoman, William Wiusselink alias Wizzkopf, joined the project in 1982.

Artist: VOICE OF EYE Title: Anthology One: 1989-91 Format: Double LP Label: Vinyl-On-Demand Country: Germany Price: $38.00 |
| "Anthology One is culled from the first three cassette releases by Voice of Eye; Isolation, Voice of Eye and Resonant Fields / Hot Gypsy Fink Hell, all three tapes released on their own Cyclotron Industries Label between 1989-1991. These are the earliest recordings by Voice of Eye. Voice of Eye can be doubtlessly described as the protagonists and godfathers of the special genre of Ambient-Ritual-Music. Their specialty is organic sound sculpting: a form of electronic ethnic ambient music that relies mainly on electronic drones and manipulated instruments including instrumentation with special self-built instruments. The music is all improvised over a period of two years and covers the evolution of their early sound. It will immediately catch your attention and pulls you into an altered but extremely positive state of mind. This is the first in a series of Anthology releases documenting hard to find Voice of Eye material and previously unreleased recordings to be released on several labels in the near future." -Vinyl-On-Demand |

"The Blimp is something akin to all of the above and something else entirely, soaring beyond mere caveman crunch evident in passing, ferociously ripping thru the past and any kind of perceived influences, providing the mass ear w/ a clatterist cacophony of sound/s for now times and beyond. Guitar flight, zig-zag wanderings, warped sense shatterings, spoken/acapella yearnings, theremin derangement, and more -sometimes combine, sometimes crash- wailing high, revealing to the listener a not hardly hidden pop-sensibility evident almost at once to even the most never been experienced of ear and/or idea, life or song.
When every single mind in the physical has already been blown, what can ya really say or do? Blast away my blues. This is just a small tasting of things to come from this waking nightmare alive band." -Violet Times. |

Artist: CHAPLIN HARNESS Title: Chaplin Harness Format: LP Label: Void Country: USA Price: $15.00 |

The album contains all original songs and is mostly psychedelic with a couple progressive instrumental cuts, 11 songs in all. The band features a great singer and future guitar legend Rick Iannaconne, who later made a big name for himself in the world of jazz, playing with Coltrane, Miles Davis etc. The recording came from the bands original tapes and sounds very good. Songs include High on a Happy, Walk on Mister, and the classic Dit Dewey Man, which is psychy, funky and flat out cool.

All originals including title song. 700 pressing from master tapes on black vinyl, including lyric sheet. The original had just a blank white cover. Here we have a glossy cool color cover approved by the band. This is somewhat like a more folky Stone Harbour in its basement sound and eclectic vibes. Even has a Lennon-McCartney feel if they did acid folk loner vibes. We picked this for our 50th release because I love the music here. Highly regarded by all collectors who have heard it.

Heres the scoop -- The Hunger released their only LP on the Publix label way back in the 60s. This edition did not have (or had very little) guitar. Though it was a classic LP, it needed the guitar. Sometime later a friend in California found an alternate acetate with a stirring guitar versus organ sound and different arrangements and song lengths. Brian Hulitt contacted Mike Parkison and Willie Daffern about this lost sound and they claim that it was none other than Ed King who stopped in to put the guitar parts on this version! The rest is history, as they say. Here is the classic Hunger The Lost Album as it originally was and should sound. Liner notes by Clark Faville." Limited remaining stock..." -Void

Lead by Jeremy Rojas, their brand of "pre-apocalyptic" mutant-punk fuses early-80s punk with a gamut of paranoia and weirdness, and live the band stands out as a true propulsive force. Expect a 7 soon from Zoo Music, the label run by Brandon from the Crocodiles and Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls, as well as the debut 7 on Volar of Ale Mania, comprised of the same 3/5 members from the Sess, but this time lead by their drummer, Andrew Montoya, fusing punk, funk, and new wave paranoia." - Volar.

Artist: DREAM/AKTION UNIT Title: Blood Shadow Rampage Format: CD Label: Volcanic Tongue Country: UK Price: $17.50 |
| "Volcanic Tongue is proud to present the first ever release by the Dream/Aktion Unit, a free-thinking avant garage Ur-kestra based around the central kernel of guitarist Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), saxophonist Paul Flaherty and drummer Chris Corsano (Six Organs Of Admittance, Sunburned Hand Of The Man et al) and featuring Heather Leigh Murray (Taurpis Tula / Jandek / Charalambides) on pedal steel and vocals and Matt Heyner (No-Neck Blues Band/Test/Angelblood) on upright bass. The Dream/Aktion Unit were originally birthed as a side-project to allow Thurston Moore and Jim ORourke to fully explore the kind of ecstatic power blues that their work in Sonic Youth repeatedly implied. The addition of legendary New England saxophonist Paul Flaherty and powerhouse drummer Chris Corsano provided them with an umbilical connection straight to the source of modern musical freedom, while working to liberate them from previously articulated modes of known rock-speak. As a quartet, the group tore through a bunch of the USAs most winning festival spaces ˿ their ground-levelling F/X pedal assault at the De Stijl/Freedom From bash in Minneapolis in 2004 being a particular landmark - with both guitarists drawing creative sustenance from the kind of ego-obliterating drums/horn interaction previously articulated by players like The Reverend Frank Wright, Glenn Spearman, Denis Charles and Albert Ayler. Come 2005 ˿ with sub-underground modes enjoying a particularly unlikely shot in the sun ˿ The Dream/Aktion unit began to take on role of some kind spontaneous think-tank, with a revolving door policy towards membership and a commitment to the demands of the moment resulting in almost orchestral incarnations featuring members of Burning Star Core, Hair Police and Vampire Belt all pushing the hell out of the envelope. In May 2005 Moore, Flaherty and Corsano brought the Dream/Aktion Unit to Stirling, Scotland, for the final Le Weekend festival to be curated by David Keenan/Volcanic Tongue. With O⿿Rourke permanently out of the picture due to various film and musical commitments, Matt Heyner aka Count Heynowski of NNCK and Heather Leigh of Taurpis Tula stepped up. The results were mind-blowing, with the quintet tearing through a non-stop gush of energy/ideas without resorting to base musical concerns like dialogue or listening with your ears. This was pure simultaneity at some kind of peak of flux. Moores role was key. He would move from these kind of suggestive, shepherding chords that would work lubes of motion into the back line, where Corsano and Heyner hooked up to such a degree that it was hard to separate their individual tonal and percussive points. They sounded like a friggin combine harvester. Murray and Flaherty were floating on their own particular plane, one that worked to reconcile the insane pulse of blood from the base of their spine with the juice of pure vision. Flaherty⿿s sound touches on a whole bunch of jazz modes while re-situating the tradition somewhere way upwind of contemporary sound-as-thought while Heather Leighs exquisitely violent pedal steel stylings and free vocal improvisations seemed to touch on aspects of both Patty Waters, Lydia Lunch and Keiji Hainos flesh-extensions while resolutely refusing anything approaching previously-articulated tongue. The whole thing was recorded and mixed straight to 24 track and the results are what you have in your hands. The first ever document of the collective thought of what⿿s easily the cream of the subterranean cup. Packaged in deluxe hard card gatefold sleeves with specially-commissioned eye-gouging video nasty-style artwork from Miss Karen Constance of Brighton aka Karen Lollypop of Blood Stereo/Smack Music 7/Chocolate Monk this is the first ever real CD release from Volcanic Tongue after a run of limited and highly collectable art-edition CD-Rs." - Volcanic Tongue. |

Artist: ZAIMPH Title: The Undetermined Dyad Format: LP Label: Volcanic Tongue Country: UK Price: $26.00 |
| "Edition of 300 copies, with sleeves featuring original artwork by Marcia Bassett, all silkscreened by Alan Sherry of SIWA and with a full-color insert. Expertly mastered by Tom Carter of Charalambides. Zaïmph is working cover for the solo experiments of Marcia Bassett, formerly of Un and Double Leopards, currently of GHQ and Hototogisu. The Undetermined Dyad functions as the fulcrum of her career to date, looking back towards her experiments in group levitation with Double Leopards while extrapolating on her recent solo work. Most of all its a guitar record and one that sits comfortably alongside previous six-string monoliths like John Faheys Days Have Gone By, Donald Millers A Little Treatise On Morals and Masayuki Takayanagis Live At Zojoji Hall while sounding quite unlike any of them. Bassetts re-imagining of the instrument pushes it to the point of almost translucence, where the physical fact of the guitar itself is almost completely subsumed by echo, F/X, loops and the kind of improvisatory logic that prizes infinite expansion and organic growth over repeated tropes or riffs. Aspects of the first side -- the eerie ghost voices, the deep space echo -- recall the electrified ritual of nomadic Japanese avant gardists Taj Mahal Travellers but more immediately it sounds like a magnification of her individual contribution to Double Leopards, generating towers of electricity that move from malevolent arcs of anti-gravity and spumes of throttled single notes through to deep wormholes that do violence to feeble notions of time and space. The B-side is a little more aggressive, with the tactile sound of strings on pick-ups anchoring a gorgeous wash of all-consuming drone and garage band fuzz before Bassett cranks the tone into realms of total sonic reducer. If your concept of the guitar begins with Jimi Hendrix setting the fucking thing on fire and ends with the sound of voltage completely liberated from any kind of tonal or harmonic anchor whatsoever, then this record may well be the girl youve been praying for. But you wont wanna introduce her to your parents." --David Keenan, Glasgow, April 2008. |

Artist: VOLCANO THE BEAR Title: Volfurten Format: LP Label: Volucan Country: UK Price: $22.00 |
| "Volfurten is the new trip in to the odd and the strange from UK musically freaks Volcano the bear, its ltd to 300 copies each in a different hand painted cover. Which is a nice bonus,but what about the music- well this is as odd as anything they?ve done before, feeling like a very strange magic carpet ride- touch down musically in (their own) world music, jazz, odd metallic moments, dada sound tomfoolery, oh and no real vocals one this one either. The feeling, vibe or theme that starts the album and reappears later is very desert based in my mind. Though a very strange desert, one with muilt coloured sands and camels walking along the sky and strange arabic men with huge beards trailing behind them as they give audio swimming lesson backwards. Yes this is very odd stuff indeed, Track one drags us into this strange ethnic world with wonky snake dance guitar and ethnic percussion. Track two takes us deeper into the desert where we really seem to start to loose are mind as we meet all manner of manic chanting and strange audio shenanigans, before dropping into a very odd nightmare world of bent Bernard Herrmann string work, via strange building drone tones. Next it goes into a little surreal ballet dance practice, with clunky piano and all manner of bizarre calls and sounds over the top. It all ends off with a strange ritual air via distorted instrumentation and what almost sounds like typewriter key hits .Track three seems to ushers us into a black and white scene maybe something from a odd early Jess Franco film, where strange macabre female dances out a jerky and plainly disturbing death dance. As ragged violin hover and swirl in horrific air ,female voices chant like spirits calling you over the other side and goosepimply organ weaves on like the reaper seeking out victims. So as you can see you have to expected anything and everything to happen with in these audio confines. I wont detail any more as Volcano the Bear stuff is best tripped into solo and with out set vision." - Roger Batty. |

"Addle-headed and pleasantly isolationist, Volcano the Bears Volve punishes the listener for paying attention, but not necessarily in a damaging sort of way. This obscure little slice of avant-garde drone rock was second in a series of live cdrs issued by the bands own label, voluca. It has its moments, for the most part. "Organza," 11 minutes long, used feedback like a lonely violinist, embellishing its structure-battering pianos and unlistenable under-noise to dart under the legs of prog rocks manufactured philosophical extravagance. "Vast Banket" a-minute-and-a-half long, was the Boredoms being pushed down a flight of stairs. Enthralling, if a bit tuneless." - Dean Carlson, All Music Guide. Recorded live 22.3.98. |

Artist: VELVET UNDERGROUND Title: Praise Ye The Lord Format: LP Label: VU714 Country: Europe Price: $20.00 |

" A reissue of a famous 1988 fanclub release, these live recordings from 1968, 1969 and 1970 include a rare complete live recording of "Head Held High," a more full version of "Im Set Free" than on the third album, a somewhat subdued "Run Run Run," the only known version of "Candy Says" with Lou on vocals, a swinging and crunchy "Thats the Story of My Life," and a gripping and stark 9-minute "Train Round the Bend" that leads directly into "Oh! Sweet Nuthin," those two being their only known live versions and totally different from those on the "Loaded" album. Definitely a must for all Velvets fans!" -VU714
