Artist: MARTIAL CANTEREL Title: Austerton Format: LP Label: Xanten Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
|
"Brooklyn based Martial Canterel (aka Moravagine)
second LP release "Austerton", recorded in 2003, is a
continuation of the spirit of "Confusing Outsides"
however, he pairs down the processes even further. One
of the foundational principles he abides by is for all
of the music either live or in the home studio to be
accomplished - performed - live in one push. The
reconstructed ruins of Xanten inform the
claustrophilic narratives of loss, indecipherability,
and betrayal. The analog synthesizer is now truly a
folk instrument...no longer necessarily an attempt at
some conception of the future, but, rather, its
impossibility, a lament for its ultimate undoing." - Xanten.

Artist: DAMON Title: Song Of A Gypsy Format: CD Label: Xenos Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Damon. This is the artistic name of David Del Conte, a genius American gypsy musician who is responsible for probably the rarest and most sought-after psychedelic music album of all time. Were talking about his debut album, Song Of A Gypsy, which was originally released in 1969. This album has a totally unique sound, with the crooner-like voice of Damon, the omnipresent melodic fuzz guitar of Charlie Carey and truly atmospheric melodies. Vernon Joynson, on his latest Fuzz Acid & Flowers book, says about this album: If there really is such a thing as psychedelic music, this is surely it. The Damon album is an essential purchase. This is a new CD version of the album. Reproduction of the original first pressing, in textured carton and golden graved lettering, gatefold cover with brief liners in the inside." - Xenos. |

Artist: BADGERLORE Title: We Are All Hopeful Farmers, We Are All Scared Rabbits Format: CD Label: Xeric Country: USA Price: $16.50 |
| "Badgerlore is the great tribal council of the so-called freak folk movement. The supergroup features Rob Fisk (Deerhoof, 7-Year Rabbit Cycle) and Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance, Comets On Fire), with Tom Carter (Charalambides), Pete Swanson (Yellow Swans), Glen Donaldson (Blithe Sons, Jewelled Antler) and Liz Harris (Grouper). Together they proceed with masterful nuance and inexorable tension; We Are All Hopeful Farmers, We Are All Scared Rabbits is the sound of effigy mounds slowly rousing from prehistoric slumber." - Xeric. |

Artist: BILLY BAO Title: Accumulation Format: 7" Label: Xerox Musik Country: UK Price: $8.00 |
|
"Heaps of noise and feedback, insistent arrhythmic pounding, and desperate hot screams coalesce into a textured, deeply layered wall of sound that is more compelling than any of its more-or-less revolting constituent parts on this new 7-inch by BILLY BAO. The concept behind the record is accumulation, as each track (uniformly 1 minute per track) adds an additional element--noise, voices, instruments. Accumulation is the engine of capitalism, and this record, which transforms accumulation into a sound, shows it to be as unpretty as one might expect. Perhaps the sound is meant to evoke the non-stop, bursting-at-the-seams chaos and disorder of Lagos, the place Billy tells us he began his journey. But of course no one, it is said, begins in Lagos; its a place where people end up. Its a city that accumulates people and detritus, or people as detritus. If Billy managed to escape, it was only physically--because judging by this record, his spirit remains in the clinking, scrounging fetters of the megapolis. Less metallic than the recent 10-inch, though still rather throbbing, this 7-inch is one of those uncommon records that you put on either to start or end a party, depending on what kind of party it is. Obscure referents: Demo-Moe, Z, Church Police, Agonia, SPK, Doden."--Stuart Schrader

Artist: VELVET UNDERGROUND Title: Unripened Format: LP Label: Xtv Country: Europe Price: $22.00 |
| "Complete with a green banana on the cover, this is the original version of their first album, recorded in April 1966 and rejected by Columbia Records. Darker, more primitive and abrasive than the version eventually released, this features either different recordings or different mixes of each song, some with different lyrics, and in a substantially different running order. And since this was made from the original acetate masters, youll hear some glitches, scratches, pops and clicks along the way, so while not perfect, its certainly very listenable and the first chance weve had to hear the album as originally intended. With revealing liner notes. Euro import."-Xtv |
