12/30/2002	e jugend	formate heaven syntax hell” featuring the epic tales of tempokhan	LP	$13.99	Saucerlike Recordings	"e jugend is the side project for members of germany’s experimentalists Ma Cherie For Painting and Stale. On this record they evolve through various moods incorporating drones, samples, tape loops, eighteen instruments and found sounds. In the footsteps of the Fab Four there are seven songs per side, each painstakingly and perfectly crafted to flow into the next so both sides play as one long soundscape. Vinyl only. ‘e jugend is no. 5 and no. 9’, and this debut album is more or less treating the tracks of Tempokhan, a forgotten legend which has almost mystic traits now. Some say it has been a slavonic medieval vagabond, wizard, trickster that devastated Eastern countries, some are sure it is the brother of a famous German football goalkeeper, again others presume it is the lost texture that unites manhood whereas others are convinced it is the desperate pursuer of a greek mystic female figure in the direct family line of Aphrodite. No use saying that they’ve almost become mad while having finished these recordings to the point that more than a teeth has fallen out and we both ended up in hospital. Thanks to the Stuttgart producing celebrity Bach Vick these recordings still survived and thanks to Saucerlike Recordings they are going to see the day. (Hooray) Supper’s ready, and I’m starving'"

11/27/2007	Earle, Matt	Golden Guitar	CDR	$11.99	Black Petal	"Sometimes muura just wants to be himself. harshest yet. Downer vocals and acoustic guitar recorded by a dying fire in the murky winter dark of the blue mountains. cdr with thread-bound covers. Matt Earle also records as Muura and is a member of XnobbqX, who recently released an lp on Siltbreeze."
	Early W	Volume 2: Nur Die Tiere Blieben Ubrig	LP	$10.99	Swill Radio	"Volume two in a Swill Radio series of LP's documenting the early work of Ralf Wehowsky (aka RLW). As with volume one, a slightly different version of this LP was originally released on cassette by Wahrnehmungen (later renamed Selektion) in the early 80's. This is a much more band-oriented release than volume 1. A number of tracks were recorded live and the mood is aggressive throughout. This is a fantastic Neue Deutsche Welle document. If it had been released on LP, it would be legendary. It still is."
12/24/2005	Earth	Legacy of Dissolution	CD	$12.99	No Quarter	"This features exclusive remixes (commissioned by No Quarter) of classic Earth songs by Mogwai, Russell Haswell, Jim O'Rourke, Autechre, Justin Broadrick and SunnO))). "Seattle band Earth have a had a less than luxurious career consisting of substance addictions, catastrophic live performances and angry record labels. Yet through the tumultuous haze they managed to release a number of highly regarded studio albums in the early to mid 90's. Often attributed to helping sculpt the ever so popular Doom/Drone/Stoner Metal genres, Earth's influence was far more wide-reaching as evidenced by this varied collection of remixes entitled Legacy of Dissolution -- a fitting title for a band who existence was corrosive from the start. Only lasting member Dylan Carlson helped compile the list of remixers, each of whom chose their favorite track from the Earth back catalog."
6/19/2007	Earthling Society	Plastic Jesus and theThird Eye Blind	LP	$24.99	Nasoni	"Earthling Society's second album takes you into the furthest reaches of the Earth's stratosphere. It comprises of 6 new tracks (up to 20 minutes long pieces, like the 'Kozmic Suite No.2') as well as a bonus live version of 'Outsideofintime' which was recorded at Sonic Rock 2005 and features legendary Harvey Bainbridge (Hawkwind) on keyboards. The album is a crafty combination of spacey ambient jamming trips and outstanding cosmic rockers with space-funky jazzy grooves, wailing cosmic trip guitars and alienated electronics. This is mindblowing psychedelic space rock at it's best." Edition of 500 - copies here are on black vinyl
6/19/2007	Earthling Society	Tears of Andromeda - Black Sails Against the Sky	DBL LP	$42.99	Nasoni	"3rd album by the Lancashire, UK based band. Similar to the albums last released this is an other brilliant mind-bending Spacerock'n'Psychedelic journey at it's absolute best. Consequentely it is more psychedelic and a bit more krautrock informed as ever before. Coincide with the release of this new album the Earthlings performed a highly acclaimed show at this year's Roadburn Festival in Tilburg (NL)." Gatefold sleeve, edition of 500 copies - 100 on colored vinyl - all copies in stock are colored vinyl.
12/24/2005	Earzumba	Afuera De La Naranja	CDR	$12.99	Audiobot	"Behind the mystic monniker of Earzumba hides none other than Christian Dergerabedian, originally born in Buenos Aires and now residing in Barcelona. Christian once played with Argentinean outrock absurdists Reynols and the Lens Cleaner Trio and is now currently working solo. He now resides in a dimension all of his own, where thick waves of punishing drones coalesce with a meditative layer of sound manipulation. He scrapes together unusual sound sources, cuts them from their 'common' environment and lets them reemerge from nowhere in order to crave a rich deep cavernous sound entity. Yet strangely always balancing on the outer limits of imagination, allow the archangels to enter the auric field to work with you. Indeed his way is elsewhere... Packaged in jewel-case with full color digital-printed artwork and blue tray. Limited to only 60 copies so don't fall asleep..."
4/16/2007	Earzumba	Real Ruido Pastizo	CDR	$7.99	Editions_Zero	"Christian Dergarabedian is by now more known through his Earzumba than his previous engagement with Reynols, and releases a great bunch of great CDRs. More and more he relies on the sampler to be the crazy melting pot of sounds and here he seems to be taking matters a bit further. From the field recordings of 'Intro' to a heavily cut up reggae collage madness in 'Descuidado'. Spinning vinyl by hand and picking up crazy fragments, and not by strange coincidence Editions_zero remarks that this is a nice soundtrack to a b-movie. I was playing this a couple of times in a row, and each time I turned it back on and discovered new themes in this crazy road movie. It has a strange appeal, this madness, this hotchpotch of music. A strange kind of radio play even when words aren't really used here to any extent. Not even a real story actually now I come to think of it. Turntablism without turntables. A story of no words, but the perfect soundtrack to out and make your own crazy roadmovie." (FdW) - Vital Weekly
12/25/2005	Earzumba	Simulando Un Refugio	CD	$10.99	Old Gold	"Apparently this is already Earzumba's tenth release, so I am sure I missed some here and there, which is a pity, as so far, 'Simulando Un Refugio' included, I liked what I heard. Earzumba is Christian Dergarabedian, once a founding member of Reynols, a member of CD Lens Cleaner Trio and since time a solo artist. The eleven tracks on this new album can be seen as one long track. Earzumba plays synthesizers, percussion, guitars and piano, but he knows how to process these with the use of a computer beyond the point of recognition. In one long mix, the eleven parts drift by, moving from hectic and furious sound collages to more ambient like passages, such as 'Con Sus Heroes Famosas'. As ever an eye for detail in the production, there isn't a single moment of weakness here. I never realized before, but there is a strong resemblance between the work of Earzumba and the old Brume work: the strong collage approach, with hectic and nervous changes, the percussive element and 'the never a moment of silence' approach. You can get lesser things to be compared with. Another great CD. The only trap Earzumba shouldn't fall into, is producing too many similar works (like Brume did for a while)." (FdW) Vital Weekly
9/30/2008	Earzumba	Vivo	CDR	$9.99	Hrysallida	"Out of the blue striked the idea of handling a surprise birthday party in xanthi to celebrate the birthday of a close friend last december 07... being foxed of whom to invite to perform and whom for a dj set we were intoxicated by the sounds of 'bestia infernal' a super blaster of earzumba so without 2nd thoughts an email to christian dergarabedian was sent resulting a pure freaked-out 4 day mayhem in the city of xanthi ...on one hand the ever mindblowing almost 'soundtrack' like performance of christian @ the city's folk museum and after the stellar dj set of mr. overdub @ the bar 'kokori' set our souls on fire!!!! & upon our return while discussing w/ christian about life on the road did the idea of this release strike... blended also w/ his performances at m.a.m.b.a. (buenos aires) & flue (wien) makes it a pure bizarre coctail of sounds, from his soundtrack like dialogues / effects to more a la 70's synthetised prog or 'funky'(?) sounds this is another stunning ascent/descend to earzumba's disillusioned world!!! why don't you step into it?"
4/16/2007	Eastenburia	Eastenburia	LP	$20.99	Japan Overseas	"A wild and primitive festival of tribal fever and ultra-modern sound sensations from this cutting-edge performance troupe consisting of Yoshimi P-We & Atari (Boredoms), David Nuss (No Neck Blues Band), Shoji (Japan Overseas), painter Rita Ackermann, and Mhayow (Psycho-Baba). Pressed on picture disc vinyl with artwork by Rita Ackerman on one side and Yoshimi on the other." Long out of print. "Summer of 1999 Dave Nuss of NNCK and Rita Ackermann traveled to Japan for the book release of Revelations, a chronicle of the Father Yod dynasty penned by Byron Coley and illustrated by Ackermann. While there they scored a record deal for Angelblood with Capt. Trip, and traveled to Osaka to record an album for Japan Overseas with the Yoshimi and Atari of the Boredoms, joined by in-house musician Yoshida. Recording and recording, only breaking to visit the local Shinto shrine, the ensemble found their sound in a blend of NNCK primitive shaman percussion with the Boredoms penchant for electronically-inspired repetition, Rita's Eastern European vocal eccentricities, and the ocassional strum of the sitar. Yoshimi handled all mixing and re-mixing. A beautiful full-color picture disc with art by Yoshimi and Rita. Is it middle-eastern? Indeed, it is Eastenburia."
7/30/2006	Eastern Fox Squirrels	Eastern Fox Squirrels	CD	$12.99	Last Visible Dog	"Dream Magazine has come to the same conclusion as I: Brad Rose does not sleep. He can't possibly. Here is a man who runs two labels (both highly prolific), an e-zine, blog, podcast, and who knows what else, and still manages to both work and be about half a dozen bands. He seems a one-man jewelled antler (in fact, he's revived their old e-mail group!), especially when it comes to pioneering some truly innovative and beautiful new groups. Eastern Fox Squirrels is a collaboration between Brad, his wife Eden and Robert Horton. Along the way they are joined by the talents of Tom and Christina Carter (Charalambides), Dan Plonsey (a player in the company of Anthony Braxton and Eugene Chadbourne) and Jason Bill (Charlambides, also recording with Jack Rose.) Sonically, Eastern Fox Squirrels has a varied pallet. Like the Jewlled Antler folks, we have bouzouki, glockenspiels, bowed banjos, weird exotic flutes and who knows what else being used to great effect. The results being very much like what you'd expect; experimental but with soft, round edges and nice, nearly ambient dirges that feel welcome but really aren't normal." - label
7/10/2008	Eat Skull	Sick To Death	CD	$13.99	Siltbreeze	"Eat Skull are a quartet hailing from Portland, Oregon, co-masterminded by Rob Enbom (former bushwacker in the ranks of Hospitals and Hole Class) and another original Hospital, Rod Meyer (the greatest living genius of punk). Previous Eat Skull efforts include a cassette-only EP and a pair of 7-inches, all of which might be out of print. Like their brethren and forebears, Eat Skull runs a post pattern deep beyond pop and punk. They bring to the game an extrasensory appreciation of New Zealand's South Island Sound (Great Unwashed, Axemen), Cleveland art-damage skronk (Modern Art Studio, X-X), and the wretched excess of forgotten Midwest hardcore (Stiff Legged Sheep, Chemotherapy).

11/5/2002	Echo Is Your Love	8 Hours	CD	$10.99	Stickfigure	"The second full-length album from Finnish noise-pop and art-punk/rock Echo Is Your Love. Nine beautiful tracks of out-of-tune guitars and near-angelic vocals that aims to land somewhere between Evol-era Sonic Youth and the Dead C."
8/1/2006	Eclipse Records	Bullhead City	t-shirt	$11.99	Xero Ink	New Eclipse shirts made by Phil Franklin (Sunburned Hand of the Man). These are all black, sizes small through extra large. The design is a kind of fish eye lens effect with the shirt layed out like this in the psychedelic Fillmore font: Eclipse Bullhead City Records The shirts are 100% cotton (pre-shrunk) and the lettering have a rainbow effect = usually 2 or more colors (red & blue on many). Sorry I do not have a scan of a shirt yet. These shirts are limited in quantity but there will be a new design out next year after I have relocated from Bullhead City.
7/10/2008	Eden Express	Que Amors Que	CD	$14.99	Holy Mountain	"Eden Express is a trio comprised of Kip Uhlhorn (Cloudland Canyon), Kelly Uhlhorn, and John David Lovelace. Their debut is a lush, tropical album formed by a decadent love of drink, the non-erotic possibilities of equestrian ownership, and a finely tuned sense of the dark supernatural side of things. It's like castle rock with warm, white sand beaches! While most groups form to play together with recording an eventual if somewhat unnecessary goal, Eden Express was formed to record this album first and to become a band second. That they so wildly succeed is a testament to the magic used and manipulated here. The witchy beauty of Eden Express recalls Pan y Regalis, Charlie and Esdor, and early tropicalia albums. Pour yourself and a friend some cocktails, sit by the pool, and try to become lucid as your bare, tanned forearms grow beyond 17 feet long."
11/16/2004	Edip Akbayram & Dostlar	Nedir Ne Degildir?	CD	$17.99	World Psychedelia	"A very different take on the Anatolian rock sound (tracks date from 1975-76), with strange keyboard washes leading to arrangements that feature wah-wah fuzz guitar and (I think) wah-wah saz, Akbayram's powerful swirling vocals, all backed by funked-up drums; many of these tracks have a tough hashish rock sound that somehow meshes well with folk instruments, and/or the odd addition of Jethro Tull-esque flute; keyboards and arrangements from 'genius' Murat Ses (Mogollar) supplement the Dostlar line-up; probably the most important non-Erkin Koray, 3 Hur El, or Mogollar album from Turkey; among the best that Turkey produced in the seventies - and that's saying something; lyrics and photos in 12-page booklet." - Lion Productions
9/14/2004	Edwards, Dave	Loose Autumn Moans	CDR	$12.99	Fiffdimension	"In a way the most 'definitive' fiffdimension album to date - songs, spoken word and instrumental interludes, and with a subtle new sense of duende. Tends toward the acoustic end of the spectrum but ye'd never in a million years mistake it for Bryan Adams Unplugged. From summer tans fading solo to live performances by The Winter - includes string-section accompaniment from cellist San Shimla and Sammy the Snake on violin."
9/14/2004	Edwards, Dave	Mantis Shaped and Worrying	CDR	$12.99	Fiffdimension	"Third Dave Edwards solo album moves into increasingly unique territory. Grit spate in scribble, guitars describing captivation intense, unmade in taut barrage. Stupid funk basement and all cause for rueing contempt or contemporary perfume wanders. Numbered edition in handmade fold-out cover."
9/14/2004	Edwards, Dave	Scratched Surface	CDR	$12.99	Fiffdimension	"The debut album, first released in 1998. 'Worth searching out coz this lo-fi singer/songwriter oddball has a unique take on the genre. He’s pissed off, a tad fucked up (as usual), but not full of lugubrious self-pity (as unusual) and is happy to get raucous & obnoxious in just the right kinda way' - Chris Knox."
9/14/2004	Edwards, Dave	The Marion Flow	CDR	$12.99	Fiffdimension	"2nd idiosyncratic sepia-toned album, ranging from lazy acoustic pop, through postpunk distortion frenetics to spoken word and a touch of free jazz. Warm sounding and accessible, but revealing hidden depths. 'Edwards' music is often a sculpture rather than a melodic composition... there's much difficult pleasure to be had for the musically adventurous' - Real Groove"
7/16/2006	Egghatcher	Cat's Ear	CDR	$11.99	Spanish Magic	"A few friends have been raving about Robert Horton's music lately and although I certainly have enjoyed everything I've heard, nothing has had the same effect on me as his most recent work under the Egghatcher moniker. Cat's Ear is an enthralling journey through a wide range of experimental musical styles, but in some strange way Horton manages to bind things together no matter if we get shimmering blankets of drone fog, fractured folk structures, buzzing improvisations, claustrophobic layers of feedback or dense fogbanks of primitive electronics. The opening "Lost Issues" kicks things off with a thick lava flow of buzz, screech, fuzz and hiss that brings an equally cavernous and joyous feeling to the table. Without recognizing quite how it happened the frantically insane electronic monsoon is all over and has perfectly flowed into the title track that sounds like a graceful celebration to someone that wandered off a bit earlier than expected. Another favorite cut is the dark and beautiful folk of "Tamlin" that drones, swirls and vibrates for just over eight minutes. I have no clue what's what here as Horton generally applies a myriad of all sorts of weird instruments and field recordings but I do know that the sounds presented hangs in the air like distant echoes in the clear night of a hidden valley. These eight minutes are just true bliss. The following track is decidedly more electric but shows the same sort of tension between complete darkness and skeletal guitar beauty. It offers a kind of rustic, caustic, even abrasive electric folk music that is so honest that it might be painful for some to listen to. There's a loose and natural approach to notes, folk, drones and quiet noise present here that has me thinking as much about early Charalambides and Sunroof! as Sandoz Lab Technicians and Roy Montgomery. If you know anything at all about what makes my head spin you know exactly what you need to do. Nearly perfect." - Mats Gustafsson, Broken Face
4/24/2006	Egghatcher	Empty Microphone	CDR	$12.99	musicyourmindwillloveyou	"Egghatcher is Robert Horton made of space in delicate petals that speak like stars like red units fresh from the cosmos seeping a thinking upon distilled minds."
2/4/2007	Egypt is the Magick #	The Valentine Process	LP	$15.99	Mad Monk	"Resistant to the clutches of Anubis, the members of Egypt have emerged from a six year hiatus to produce an archival release dating from the DCLXVI Dynasty. After serving as priests to Hathor, the Mistress of Life, the Great Wild Cow, for five years, these Egyptian numerologists have honed their aesthetic reeds to razor sharp points. These tracks include glossalalia praising the pantheon, an illustration of the electromechanistic migration of the soul as well as ecstasy soaked instrumental excursions. Look for these adepts appearing at your local oasis soon! 180 gram vinyl, full color covers, 500 copies!"
9/24/2002	El Ron	Are Dangdut Kings	LP	$10.99	Records	"Released in 1997, this is the first record to feature the music of Keith Whitman (aka Hrvatski). El-Ron was a duo featuring Keith Whitman on guitar and electronics and Russ Newman on drums. The facts of this history have been obscured through the use of generic record labelling techniques, pseudonyms, and a musical approach that sits outside of popular genres. Hrvatski interviews have mentioned that El-Ron was a no-wave band, and it is best to approach this record in that way, although their recorded work is way more psychedelic than most 'no-wave'. Unlike his creations that fall into IDM, electronic, computer-based experimental, and ambient categories, El-Ron is a noise heavy, feedback scrawl, with ever building anthemic themes puctuated by powerful raw explosive drumming. Its a freakout. Limited to a few hundred copies."
6/5/2005	Electric Banana	Rave Up With Electric Banana	LP	$29.99	Guerssen	"Licensed vinyl reissue of the legendary Pretty Things sessions - released for contractual reasons under the name Electric Banana - and some of the greatest examples of British psychedelia. The music was originally recorded for the De Wolfe Music Library, who used it on various low-budget Swingin' London flicks such as ''What's Good For The Goose', 'The Haunted House Of Horror' & 'Some like it sexy'. This is top notch psychedelic rock full of tight harmony vocals, fuzzed out guitars, swirling Hammonds, Mellotrons, effects...Fourteen tracks including ‘Alexander'’, ‘Grey Skies’, ‘Blow Your Mind’, ‘Eagle's Son’, ‘Rave Up’ and many more! LP comes housed in a groovy cover. Limited to 1000 copies." - Lion Productions
	Electric Company and Vas Deferens Organization	More Pelvis Wick For The Baloney Boners	CD	$12.99	Tekito	"Electric Company and Vas Deferens Organization is another teamup between VDO and Brad Laner and features the classic freaked out madness that we've come to expect from the VDO camp. There are numerous layers of electronics and Constant shifts in the action making this extremely hard to follow, yet one hell of fun ride. This is among the most well-crafted freaked out madness you can find. Aggressive electronica that demands the listener's attention. It's only 35 minutes in length, but believe me... it makes its statement quite succinctly in that timeframe." Aural Innovations
	Electric Orange	Orange Communication	CD	$11.99	Delerium	Technokrautrock!
	Electric Prunes	Stockholm ’67	CD	$13.99	Birdman Records	“In the winter of 1967, a psychedelic-garage-punk band from Woodland Hills, California, arrived in Europe for what would be their first and last tour of the continent. On the strength of their hit single ‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night,’ the band was welcomed with open arms by European rock fans as well as British rock royalty - they smoked out with Hendrix, partied with Brian Jones and Keith Moon, and hung out in the studio with the Beatles - but were also subjected to harassment and ridicule over the fact that their homeland was at war in Vietnam. Yep, good times, good times... Twenty days and six countries later it was all over. Luckily, on the last stop of the tour someone pushed the record button and this artifact is the result. Stockholm '67 finds the Electric Prunes at the height of the powers. Some ninnies have griped that the 'Prunes were nothing more than a psychedelic one-hit wonder, and a studio project at best. This performance burns the criticism to the ground. Over-amplified and fuzzed to the max, the 'Prunes here are explosive, noisy and wild. This recording proves that the Electric Prunes deserve to be ranked alongside the very best bands of their era.”
	Electric Prunes	Underground	LP	$15.99		Awesome follow up to their debut LP. This one is slightly less garage and more psych-pop, emphasis on psych. Also highly recommended.
6/19/2007	Electric Riders	Music For a Family Gathering	DBL LP	$42.99	Nasoni	"Third album of the acclaimed psychedelic underground band from Spain. The Music for a Family Gathering is a collection of eleven tales of the best heritage of 60's - 70's psychedelic rock bands, a new experience based in eclectic songs where all influences come to mind. Ten original songs and one superb cover of 70's U.S. rockband Demian ("Coming") became this record in a trip over the golden years of the music." Gatefold sleeve, edition of 500 copies - 100 on colored vinyl - all copies in stock are colored vinyl.
12/31/2003	Electroputas	Piano Blooms	12" EP	$7.99	The Social Registry	"Still nothing could prepare for the total overhaul espoused in the group's confidence, agility and creativity. Piano Blooms surges with a focused tension and rhythmic stride of a group who're coming into their own as songwriters as well as feedback laden rockers." Artrocker. "The Electro-Putas are finally ready to unleash the spatial sound groove attack from their modern era with this the second release in the The Social Registry’s 12" series. Think krautrock in the realm of Can with dashes of no wave, free rock, and just plain freakiness. This is the antidote to all of those bands who are 'pushing the envelope' with all the force of baby sloth. These three songs will put the frizz back in your hair and have you checking your smoke for flakes of something else besides tobacky. Joe, Jaiko and Akio combine their love of psychedelia, full force blasts, and ramblings along the noise path on this limited edition chunk of vinyl. This is for the people who swing their hips in more than just one direction. Sure to be playing on your turntable until the needle gives out or your mind does. This releases is the second in our ongoing 12" series and, as always, is limited to 600 copies."
11/2/2008	Elephant Micah	Equine Emblem	7"	$7.99	Great Pop Supplement	"Following a number of wonderful CDR releases and the incredible "Hindu Windmills" full length on Time-Lag in the U.S, comes this vinyl only EP, "Equine Emblem" on The Great Pop Supplement. Four hauntingly beautiful pieces penned by Kentucky based Joe O'Connell. "Return of the Gentle Rider" opens the EP, a predominantly acoustic / drone / feedback laden, slow builder which gives way to the gorgeously fragile, vocal only "Game Reserve". An incredible piece with a seemingly 'recorded in one take' feel. Side Two opens with the late night blues of "A Harmony (with horse)", before closing the EP with the violin and banjo hoe-down of "Rocky Ripple Meltdown". A beautiful record - housed in sweet screened sleeves and one of the best on the GPS so farŠ370 numbered copies."
10/25/2008	Elm	Bxogonoas	CDR	$9.99	Digitalis Limited	"Another look through the prism to see how the other half lives. elm is the solo guise of jon porras, best known for his adventures as half of the magnificent barn owl. "bxogonoas" is the word used by the muisca people of colombia to describe the mystery of time. elm slows things down to a caustic crawl. these nine tracks are like golden sonic arrows dipped in black blood and shot straight into the heart of the earth. porras is the master arsonist, sacrificing his guitars in effigy, pouring plumes of smoke into the heavens. "bxogonoas" is dark and cathartic. each sound hangs in the air constantly trying to balance the doom and gloom cascading underneath. porras guides each song through emphatic exercises in ecstatic offerings, like a meticulously choreographed homage to the sun gods. elm is organic reverie, sacred to the last drop. limited to 90 copies." Out of print.
12/25/2005	Eloe Omoe	Eloe Omoe	cassette	$5.99	Animal Disguise	First edition of 150 numbered copies in full color sleeves. This is the second document from the Boston area free-sludge duo containing two full live shows from Boston and New York. "Bass and drums splattered shark disaster. The sound of a weak human trying to remove itself from the fangs of the great white death! A totally straight faced, head nodding... AWESOME!"
9/30/2008	Eloe Omoe	Marauders	LP	$9.99	Animal Disguise	"Eloe Omoe is the Boston, MA duo of Sam Rowell (bass) and Tim Leanse (drums). For the uninitiated and other strangers to Eloe Omoes aural assault, I have described them as relentless free-sludge. Their challenging and rewarding sound could be compared to both the depths of early free-jazz and the over-the-top amplifier worshipping metal of the legendary godheadSilo. But more than anything, the music is akin to the unpredictable shift of a group of sharks than to normal song structure. This is crisp and extreme rock rejection. From the first note of the first song, you are instantly sucked into the undertow and already past the point of no return. Churning and chugging bass that sounds as if 8 arms are striking the strings in a battle to keep time with the insanity of the spastic and shifting drums. An album that reveals more subtleties and gets better with each listen, Marauders is an impressive debut that has been long overdue."
10/25/2008	Emaciator	Coveting	LP	$16.99	Not Not Fun	"Misery wears many masks, but Tulare, California fatalist JON BORGES has etched his mark on most of them. For at least half a decade he's pursued increasingly suicidal tendencies under his PEDESTRIAN DEPOSIT guise (which is currently on hiatus), splicing subdued loops of morbid beauty against savage canyons of harsh noise histrionics. Lately, though, he's been straying more and more from this aggressive exercise in contrasts in favor of his EMACIATOR alias, which draws from the same dark wellspring of bitter memories and bipolar rage but, instead of unleashing it in grand frenzies, bottles everything up inside until it seeps out the pores. Early efforts/cassettes retained a strain of buzzing nausea reminiscent of his PD days, but the last 12 months have witnessed a complete abandonment of any ties to the past. Times are still bleak, sure, but the gray prisms of brooding ambience Borges now conjures and slowly collapses convey a depth of mood and subtlety far surpassing simple signifiers like Indifference, Resentment, Remorse. Coveting collects together five exquisite Emaciator compositions (including two particularly riveting songs that were debuted live at Echo Curio last winter) for a harrowing 40 minutes of troubled solace, crisscrossing suicide guitar lines, and entranced self-reflection. Meditation is a myth; desire does not sleep. Black vinyl LPs in shrink wrapped jackets with layout by Borges, Edition of 430."

7/10/2008	Emeralds	Solar Bridge	CD	$11.99	Hanson	"Starting out in 2005 performing live sets using only television sets as sound sources, Emeralds has grown in recent years into a monster of HEAVY improvised drone using analog synths and masterfully effected guitar. Born out of the midwest scum-noise scene, these guys have taken the INTENSE HEAVINESS of their midwest brethren to a place that is entirely their own. They have replaced the creepy atmosphere and abrasive harsh noise of their peers w/ a VERY DIFFERENT though EQUALLY INTENSE blast of COSMIC DRONE POWER! HANSON RECORDS is proud to announce EMERALDS - SOLAR BRIDGE, the trio's first full-length album after numerous cassette and cd-r releases on such labels as American Tapes, Chondritic Sound, and the bands own imprints Wagon and Gneiss Things. The album opens with the side long "MAGIC" where the band builds a quiet drone into an extreme thick sawblade of swirling noise as beautiful as it is menacing. The flip is yet another sidelong journey titled "THE QUAKING MESS", a track that stabs your brain with fluttering sparks of synthesized needles before relaxing you into a Göttschingesque dream state while slowly bringing you back to earth with an electronic wave of molten rumble. Fans of the smooth tones of 'New Age Of Earth' era Ash Ra Tempel and the buzzing thick drones of Throbbing Gristle's 'Heathen Earth' should take note, as Emeralds may be their new source for electronic drugs." LP version coming, too...

1/9/2003	Emergency String Quartet	Motions	CDR	$3.99	Last Visible Dog	"Bob Marsh's ensemble is joined here by Carol Genetti, producing one of the most heavy 'free jazz' recordings this side of Alan Silva's Celestial Communication Orchestra. The 'string' designation is no joke; if you know what a powerful command of stringed instruments can do in classical music, then you may have a clue of what to expect here. Put that into a ESP-style jazz framework (IE Alan Sondheim or the likes) and you may get an idea of what to expect. This is apocalyptic improvized music with a psychedelic sensibility. A very strange amalgam of forces to produce a startling powerful record. As essential as anything else you could possibly think of in defining modern improvized music!"
1/16/2003	Emergency String Quintet	On the Corner (Market & Sixth)	CD	$8.99	Public Eyesore	"Under the direction of Bob Marsh (who also contributes cello), improvisers Jeff Hobbs (violin), Kevin Van Yserloo (violin), Jonathan Fretheim (viola), and Damon Smith (double bass) present a series of four extended pieces, that extend from vaguely reductionist dialogs to lush sonic landscapes. Follow-up to ‘Hill Music’ on Jack Wright's Spring Garden music."
3/1/2007	Emil Beaulieau	Moonlight In Vermont	LP	$11.99	Ecstatic Peace	"Emil Beaulieau is the nom de plume of Ron Lessard, long regarded as the most significant arbiter of American noise music. As a record store owner and label boss (the infamous RRRecords) Ron has introduced to ravenous noise mongering appetites around the world the pitiless pleasures and perverto-platitudes of the most arcane and near-insane noise practitioners of the last 20 plus years. All along Ron has himself been an extremely influential and highly unique creator of noise music on both record and stage. His performances are legendary. With bizarre turntable machinations, a sweater-vest, tie and table-lamp Ron's live show is a possessed demon dance to the relationship of normality and not-rightness. Moonlight In Vermont has long been considered, to those who were able to find it in CDR format, one of Emil Beaulieau's most masterful documents. A recording due to be released by the inimitable Hanson records in 2004, it's production gone awry, it was put into the Ecstatic Peace release schedule in late 2005 and again got tied-up in an unforgiving production morass. The details are ridiculous in retrospect but Ron's original cover concept of a minimal white lettering on black jacket got skabibbled and resulted in Ron creating hand-made cut n' paste collage covers. Every LP is it's own work of art and each is stunning. 500 are for sale and not only is this LP one of the great noise listens of the age but it's an amazing and singular visual document of a mind dedicated to danger."
3/20/2007	Emil Beaulieau / Jason Lescaleet	split	7"	$5.99	Absurd	"Split single in a hand-numbered edition of 333 copies in octagonal card gatefold sleeves from two renowned turntable/loop manhandlers. First side is a wheezing grunt through spliced and glued shards of rock noise, B-side is a beautiful dart shot straight through the heart of Aerosmith. They fucking deserve it." - Volcanic Tongue
10/9/2003	Empirical	untitled	3" CDR	$7.99	Pseudoarcana	"New pair of improvisations from Empirical, Marcel Bears project exploring the sonic world embodied in his (amplified) handmade shimsaws (intricate constructions of steel and wire that are bowed and plucked). The sound of these may be familiar to you from his track on the Hermes Corp. compilation ' Le Jazz Non'. This time around he is joined by Rosy Parlane and Alie McPherson. Beautiful stuff."
9/17/2006	Enema Syringe	Bögens Massage Institut	LP	$24.99	Ultra Eczema	"This is a collection of rare and unreleased tracks by these crazed heavy industrialised weirdos from sweden! all recorded between 1986 and 1988. originally formed in 85 by kai parviainen and mats lundberg (who later got replaced by landgang) ENEMA SYRINGE played heavy monotone simple noise industrial the way it should be done; straight forward, loud, heavy and simple!! brutal toy synths and repetitive beats dominate the whole recorded archive and the few live sets this duo did, spiced with horrific sounding lyrics in swedish (usually about funnier things then the usual industrial fan would hope for like farts, massage shops, etc..) all of the tracks on this lp are recorded without any mixing possibilty straight onto two channels with a marrantz amp and a tape deck, prophet one, casio RZ1 drummachine, casio toy synth, an old rhythm box and vocals thu headphones and a crappy mike! these beats are the best fist in the airpumpers ever, reminding of early throbbing gristle, club moral or more recent wolf eyes and meerk puffy! the lp comes with liner notes by kai parviainen, a discography, and is completely remastered. artwork by dennis tyfus - limited to 400 copies"

7/11/2008	Enfer Boreal	Cloud Matter Inside Your Bones	CDR	$8.99	267 Lattajjaa	"Four droney tracks recorded in November 2007 by Maxime Primault in his small haunted room in Rennes, France. Mostly built upon prepared guitar improvisations fed with different effects. Bass, electronics, voice, field recordings, voice and various objects has also been used to complete the recordings. The whole disc is quite quiet and meditative with different moods for each piece. No supercharged sounds here. No dance music. Only abstract and intuitive expression. Think about clouds filling the sky. Think about bones wich are the main structure of your body. Imagine them both related through music."
8/2/2008	Enfer Boreal	Les Plumes Noires	3" CDR	$6.99	First Person	"Tapping into his French heritage through the work of the musique concrete pioneers, Maxime Primault uses the world around him as his source material. The results are first rate exercises in electro/ acoustic manipulation in which tones are shaped and matched to produce attenuated and considered drone studies. Primault also takes time out to run the 'Crier Dans Les Musées!' label, notable for the compilation 'Cris et Chuchotements' featuring likeminded artists such as Peter Wright, Valerio Cosi, Kuupuu and Ghost Brames of the Cerfs." First edition of 50 copies.
9/30/2008	Enfer Boréal	Eldorado	3" CDR	$10.99	Cut Hands	"Creepy ambient electronics by this relatively new project helmed by Frenchman Maxime Primault. A total trip that lingers somewhere between soothing meditation and psychedelic nightmare. Waves of drone that wrap around your head like a thick blanket while the psychedelic undertones take you to a place where those ugly ass nightmares are born. 40 copies, in slimline dvd cases with art by Nazi Knife Jonas."
2/19/2004	Enkidu (Chie Mukai / Sei ichi Yamamoto / Eric Cordier)	Hasselt	CD	$16.99	Turtles' Dream	"Live recording from the European tour of the trio in October / November 2002, to the invitation of Densité festival (France) . Meeting between two Japanese improvisators : Chie Mukai (kokyu, drums, voice) and Sei ichi Yamamoto (guitar, flute, voice) with Éric Cordier (hurdy-gurdy & electronics). " At the risk of officiously imputing to it a conceptual patness it neither implies nor desires, _Enkidu_ - a 67-minute live recording from a 2002 visit to France, Mukai's regular duo with Yamamoto enlarged to accommodate kindred spirit Cordier - could be said to form a trilogy with _Live At Showboat_ [Last Visible Dog] and _L'Energie De L'Existence_ [Turtles Dream]: each offers its own interpretation of Mukai's trademark long-form noise-drone-dream psych-folk improvisations. Basing itself around two momentously elongated, deliriously swirling and head-spinningly noisy slow-burn deep-sound drone-ragas, _Enkidu_ drifts nebulously and looms menacingly, exerting a subtle yet irresistible undertow, always on the brink of falling apart and cohering into something ‘else’ altogether, sucking in signifiers and referents, spinning them out into an endless psychedelic fug.” - liner notes (extract) by Nick Cain
9/29/2005	Enos Slaughter	On the Shore of Jupiter	CDR	$11.99	Sound@One	"Special spring / early summer edition from the string band trio with the highest slugging percentage around.

Saloth Sar contains two massive tracks from Enos Slaughter, all electric and poking a thumb in third eyes everywhere. Electric guitar, bozuk, trashcan moog sounds, and mystery sources combine to create a throbbing piece of alienation that retains a weird undercurrent of lyricism. Space lute meets the human string incinerator. Housed in a beautiful package, this release includes graphics culled from Cambodias S21 prison archives. The imagery hopes to argue a sensible point: the abolition of the military of US. Featuring members of Sunburned, IZITITIZ, and NNCK.".
9/30/2008	Ensemble Economique	At the Foot of Nameless Roads	CD + CDR special edition	$18.99	Digitalis	"By now, just about everyone is familiar with the mighty Starving Weirdos and their otherworldly junkyard drones. Last year the world was introduced to another band of mystics from the Weirdos camp called RV Paintings. One of the constant threads from both of those bands is the inimitable Brian Pyle. Ensemble Economique is Pyle's debut foray into the solo forest. "At the Foot of Nameless Roads" is a masterpiece of an album, filled to the brim with cacophonous melodies, meditative auditory chants, & hypnotic shambolic rhythms. If you love the Weirdos, you will be all over this. "At the Foot of Nameless Roads" is one hell of a first statement. Pyle has concocted an absolute gem. This is dense music that begs for deeper inspection. Each space, each note carefully chosen and etched into glass. Ensemble Economqiue is music for the darkest nights, the pinkest mornings, and everything in between. This is vivid, haunting music that leaves a trail of gold in its wake. Limited to 500 copies. Artwork by Tarentel's Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. Special edition limited to 100 copies. **extra disc that comes with the special edition features 10 exclusive tracks featuring spencer doran (cloaks), ryan carlisle, & max brottman**"

8/4/2007	EOH	Cavernous Hall	CDR	$7.99	Brothers	"EOH are a coming together of Rob Mayson [Grey Daturas, Bone Sheriff, Breathing Shrine etc], Simon Taylor [Whitehorse, Malakat, Bone Sheriff] and Aaron Coyes [Rahdunes, Omen Compass etc] named for Mayson's son Max's imaginary friend. A trio of drinking buddies who channel their sparkling ale and amyl fueled unruliness into recording session after recording session. These 3 chunks of dark drones and abstract free noise were culled from hours and hours of wild drunken recording in a cavernous hall in the heart of Melbourne way back in April 2006. Aside from kicking out the drone, the three spent many an evening hanging around Mayson's kitchen, listening to records, eating Japanese curries, getting boozy and stonedŠ the usual shit. Densely packed with organ, oscillators, circuit-bent instruments, contact microphones, ride cymbals, bass, guitar, piano, floor tom, tape machines, transistor radio, the EOH - Cavernous Hall CD is being delivered as a memento to commemorate the group's upcoming West Coast tour of the US in late July 2007. This is what AQUARIUS RECORDS had to say about they're debut 3" CD: "still dense and noisy and intense, but with a soft touch. More whisper than roar, more drone than screech. A Wolf Eyesian industrial murk march. Dense swirling layers of thick pulsing guitar distortion, wavering and warbling in thick sheets laid over everything, peppered with occasional cymbal crashes and what sounds like some sort of throat singing. This is some seriously massive ur-drone shit. Huge industrial wastescapes, abstract spare stretches of low end rumble swirling like black fog over ruined landscapes of damaged amplifiers and detuned guitars. Haunting, and desolate but strangely lovely."

7/14/2007	Erickson, Roky	You're Gonna Miss Me	DVD	$27.99	Palm	"In the annals of spooked rock, Roky Erickson is a legend. When you hear his wobbling, impassioned, vocal yowl, you have to admit: He could've been a sort of psychedelic, proto-punk, American Van Morrison. Alas, history has been less kind to Roky. Kevin McAlester's documentary discloses precisely why (and how) Roky's early status as an icon--a maverick rock genius as demonstrated by his band, the 13th Floor Elevators--went sadly awry. At the center of You're Gonna Miss Me are some crucial dramatic tropes: a terribly broken family; a pressing, age-old "Am I my brother's keeper" predicament; and a relatively simple case of schizophrenia. The film opens in a courtroom, Erickson's aging and awkward mother, Evelyn, and his youngest brother, Sumner, locked in a battle for guardianship over the then-53-year-old, mentally imbalanced singer. The film captures Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Patti Smith, and Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), among others, testifying to Roky's non-pareil genius. Also present, however, are tales of Roky's singular madness--extended acid and heroin binges and, alas, his then-present-day condition, living in cramped, decrepit quarters with an array of transistor radios, stereos, TVs, and keyboards, all cranked fully as he placidly reclines or wanders aimlessly. The film painstakingly shows the Erickson family's longstanding fissures, contextualizing Roky's schizophrenia and, disarmingly, putting his mother's own awkward idiosyncratic behavior on display. Lee Daniel's cinematography brilliantly captures the desolation and desperation of Roky's life, camera shaking and panning and finding hidden angles to show the strange, seemingly endless schizophrenic signs around the singer--dozens of antennae, stacks and stacks of mail strewn throughout his apartment, and Evelyn's complicated obsession with Roky's history--from his highpoints as a rocker to his tragic three-year stay at the Rusk State Hospital for marijuana possession (where, for example, he played in an ad hoc band with a couple of murderers, a rapist, and, improbably, a hospital counselor) to her own, eerie film project where she casts Roky as "the king of the beasts" in a home-movie she undertakes as a "legacy" for the family. The film is all about otherworldly dimensions, centering in large part on youngest brother, Sumner--himself an accomplished musician playing tuba with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra--and his legal battle to become Roky's guardian and get Roky "simple medical care" and medication for his schizophrenia." - Andrew Bartlett.

2/12/2008	Erickson, Roky & The Aliens	Roky Erickson & The Aliens	LP	$19.99		"A reissue of the UK version of the 1980 Europe-only CBS release, with all the original artwork. Includes his best-known songs of that period: "Creature with the Atom Brain" and "Two Headed Dog." Includes lyric sheet. Euro import."
9/17/2006	Es	A Love Cycle	CD	$16.99	Fonal Records	"The second album from Es aka. Sami Sänpäkkilä. On this album the main source of sound is three turntables bought from fleamarkets for 10 dollars a piece. Those and a few effects are the only soundsources that have been used. The atmosphere maintains its course of melancholy through these romantic, and at times heartbreaking sound collages. The adjacent loops that you hear begin to create new dimensions and layers of sound. And when you listen to the song you can almost hear that forgotten melody that you have always searched for in your heart. Recognizable (and acknowledged) exemplariness can be heard when thinking of such artists as the loop 'n' scratch artist Philip Jeck and Terry Riley." Repressed - second edition.
1/1/2008	Es	Sateenkaarisuudelma	DBL CD	$21.99	Fonal	"Sateenkaarisuudelma is my fourth solo album under the name Es. The double LP is a trilogy containing three independent parts: Sateenkaarisuudelma, Maailmankaari and Pianokaari. Sateenkaarisuudelma contains songs I've played live since 2002. These songs were composed and recorded during the same period I made Kaikkeuden kauneus ja käsittämättömyys cd. At some point it became obvious I was doing two albums at once. Also I soon realised that these songs would benefit and work well in vinyl format allowing me to divide songs to different sides and also give them an aging and changing format. With Sateenkaarisuudelma ready for pressing already in July 2004 I started my journey to Canada, Toronto where I studied fine arts for four months. During this time I also made a ten day tour in USA with Miriam Goldberg on cello, Jeffrey Alexander on guitar and effects, Tara Burke on vocals and keyboard. Shary Boyle did live drawings on overhead projectors. It was an excellent collaboration and the fruits can be heard on the second LP's side C. Maailmankaari I and II were recorded in Boston at the WMBR radio station. Side D finishes of the trilogy with two songs composed as early as 2002. I've recorded the first song Universaali totuus at least five or six times. This version was recorded in June of 2005 just before sending it to pressing. Pianokaari was mutilated, cut and changed for three years. These two songs span the whole duration of the recording and creation of this double album. All this time Juri Puhakka was working on the drawings on the sleeves. Featured on the cover is me with rainbows ponting directly at my hands. It represents hope for understanding dreams are within ones grasp. Other musicians featured on the covers are Suvi Mäkinen who has been a part of the Es live line-up many times. Jan Anderzen and I have collaborated on so many occasions that the facts get blurred. Elissa Määttänen has appeared on all but the first album and continues to contribute her vocals to Es live shows as well as the recorded releases. Other musicians on the album are Jeffrey Alexander and Miriam Goldberg from the Black Forest / Black Sea duo and Laura Naukkarinen (aka. Lau Nau). All my gratitude goes out to these people who have been an integral part in the birth of this double LP." -Sami Sänpäkkilä.
9/17/2006	Es / Sami Sanpakkila	Early Filmworks 1996 to 2006	DVD	$17.99	Fonal Records	"As an artist, Sänpäkkilä is someone who transcends conventional boundaries: film, music and visual art each vie for his attention. In fact, these separate areas are integrated in his work to such an extent that he could with equal justification be considered a visual artist, a filmmaker or a musician. His experimental short films are most notably characterised by a certain suspension. For instance, Sänpäkkilä portrays repetitive jumps, trudging through snow or waking up repeatedly. This suspension is also present in the soundtracks to his works. The resulting entity is hypnotic, trance-inducing. It has been said that every trance is an attempt to solve a problem. This should be understood broadly: a 'problem' could be anything, positive or negative, that calls for a decision or a solution. For the artist, it could be a problem or a challenge related to his work, and whilst dealing with it he falls into a state of waking dream. The spectators, however, do not have to concern themselves with the artist's problems. Each of them has a trance of their own, a train of thought that produces the ideas, solutions or answers for which they are prepared and which are useful to them. A trance does have an intrinsic value, though. It is a creative state in the twilight zone between sleep and a waking state. Trance can also be described as movement, like the jumps in 91: 11-12 or the running in 'Surrealistin Kaksi Vasenta Kättä.' This movement can lead to the recuperation, as well as the regeneration, of the mind and the senses. While it may initially be less obvious, another prominent quality of Sänpäkkilä's art is spirituality." Region Free. PAL & NTSC (double sided for worldwide play).
11/4/2006	Escapade	But Distractions Abound	CD	$11.99	Submergence	"But Distractions Abound" is Escapade's followup release to their 2003 split CD with Acid Mothers Temple, "A Thousand Shades of Grey". The band's hypno-rock explorations, begun on 2002's "Rule #3" and furthered on the split CD, are continued here for a set of music which although based on improvisation, often instead sounds like it's composed. This is because of the band's tendency to work as a collective unit in search of a unified musical statement rather than as a bunch of instrumentalists trading solos. While their earlier music focused on ever mutating underlying musical structures, their most recent music utilizes building blocks of repetition and drones that have a remarkable amount of detail creeping below the surface. The result is a solid release of modern psych music that the listener can trance out to, but also stands up equally well to attentive listening."
2/18/2003	Escapade	Citrus Cloud Cover	DBL CD	$18.99	Mother West	"For those like me, that love instrumental psychedelic rock, we're being spoiled for choice these days, and much of it (strangely) comes from the USA. Between the contrasting ends of the genre: Mushroom and Melting Euphoria, and taking over the mantle from the once great Djam Karet, are Escapade - intent on living up to their name - exploring further than anyone else. And, to prove their worth, here they treat us with a massive 2CD slab of jamming that sizzles as it trundles off into space! Though they're from the other side of the USA than Djam Karet, it's often remarkable to note the many similarities, that nimble slightly funky bass, guitars that bridge John McLaughlin and Syd Barrett stylisms, flowery yet solid drums, and superb interaction. Though Djam Karet implemented synths into their music in the late 80's, they let it become too smooth in the end, wheras Escapade have learned to let such sounds roar, scream and twitter along with the music, making them kind of a modern hybrid of classic Guru Guru and Hawkwind. As you may have guessed, this is another classic album, full of riffs, drifts, fiery drives and sizzling solos. Do I really need to say more?" - Alan Freeman, Audion #41
9/17/2006	Eskimo King	Tooth-Shaped Migration	CDR	$11.99	Our Mouth	"Debut solo monster from Brian Sullivan, guitarist/vocalist with void-gobbling 'rock' group Mouthus. Songs with huge seams of devouring fuzz ala Crystalized Movements, stoned thousand-mile vocals that overlap in butterflies of slow tongue, lo-fi post-hardcore balladry, lung-puncturing shots of drum and a beautifully addictive atmosphere of honey-thick lethargy." - Volcanic Tongue
7/10/2008	Eskimo King	Weird Flag	CDR	$5.99	Abandon Ship Records	"As Brian Sullivan still flies high from his performance at No Fun Fest this year, we've prepared a gem of a release from this half of the now legendary Mouthus. While feeding off of similar meditative vibes of the aforementioned Brooklyn duo, he manages to put together a cohesive collection of distinct tracks he can call his own. Infinite layers of blown out fuzz dominate some tracks, and deep, trance-inducing rhythms prevail in others. Another primer for an up-and-coming ASR LP, due later this year. Keep your eyes peeled. And as with most Mouthus-related material, this one will not be around for very long." Edition of 100 copies.
	Eso Steel	Galleries 1-3	CD	$12.99	20 City	"The official compilation of the three Geraldine 10" releases. Textured ambient sound. Watch out for a continuation of the Galleries sometime in 2000."
1/25/2004	Espers	Espers	CD	$12.99	Locust	"Espers are a boy/girl/girl trio from Philly featuring singer/songwriter Greg Weeks, Meg Baird and Brooke Sietinsons who combine the elemental sound of acid-folk with the baroque arrangements of late 60s chamber rock. Fully versed in the sumptuous vernacular of drug music, the cradle of Appalachian song, and the succinct truths of the three-minute pop ballad, their full length debut is an irresistible collection of sweet and subtle songs essential for fans of Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Jackson C. Franck, Bread, Love & Dreams and Bert Jansch. Espers are the sound of the New Weird America the way it should be heard - with the ease, infectious grace and absolute beauty of an ever expansive trio bound for ever greater pastures." Highly recommended!
6/11/2006	Espers	II	CD	$13.99	Drag City	"From the beginning, Espers has been a living, growing thing. II finds the group at sextet size, with greater powers and capabilities than before. Still, the original spirit of the band -- the American ideal of the democracy (that is in no way reflected in its current government) -- rules Espers in everything they do, gives them true freedoms to reach for the spiritual and the fun at once, and to make their music from it. The sound of Espers II was achieved using a mad variety of instruments, from your standard, everyday Martin 6-string acoustics, Fender jazzbass and drumkit to more exotic implements such as doumbek, dholak and male & female larynx (which we assume are swung around in the air to produce a recorder-like sound). Espers at play tap into their shared spaces with joy and a sense of humor (and wonder, naturally). The musical outcome is a friendly new sensation -- as the record plays, it warms the room and dims the lights with dense yet agile atmospherics, allowing you, the listener to relax, despite and yet still in communion with the realities of our present day."
12/25/2005	Espers	The Weed Tree	CD	$12.99	Locust	"When discussions were first taking place for a teaser album before Espers' next 'proper' studio full length, it didn't take any of us long to agree on the timeliness of an album of cover songs. Over the last few years while out on the road supporting their self titled debut, audiences were floored by renditions of traditionals like the bittersweet 'Black is the Color' or the intergalactic take on master traveler Michael Hurley's 'Blue Mountain.' An album of covers & traditionals was a perfect plan. Simple, no big deal. Selections were made: Hurley, Nico, Durutti Column, Blue Oyster Cult, trad cuts inspired by Bert Jansch & the Famous Jug Band & a new original called 'Dead King' - a single dispatch from the future - would fill out the album. We could call The Weed Tree yet another exemplary example of acid folk, baroque psych or sunshine pop with a sinister edge but none of this brings us any closer to giving meaning to a mess of unexplainable tears - the result of the old happy/sad life humdrum that, by now, is a personal blueprint for an album gifted with the arch beauty of the Weed Tree. So, The Weed Tree is an album between the stations but, as transitions go, this is just further proof that Espers are at the nadir of what makes music meaningful & meaning matter in music today."
9/17/2006	Espvall, Helena	Nimis & Arx	CD	$11.99	Pax Recordings / Fire Museum	"The debut solo release from Helena Espvall, cellist of Espers. Her past and present collaborators include such diverse figures as Fursaxa, Oluyemi Thomas, Sharron Kraus, From Quagmire, Lukas Ligeti, Samara Lubelski, Eugene Chadbourne, Pauline Oliveros, Scorces, Katt Hernandez and many others.With production and electronics provided by sonic maverick George Korein of Infidel?/Castro!, "Nimis & Arx" is a recording of translucid wonder. Utilizing cello, guitar, recorder, voice and electronics, Espvall has delivered a CD which touches on aspects of all the multi-faceted elements of her musical journey to date while creating a vocabulary in a voice which is uniquely hers. Having played guitar and cello in several rock bands (as well as performing in a silent movie orchestra, an Arabian Music ensemble and free improvised music), Swedish-born multi-instrumentalist Helena Espvall moved to Philadelphia in the year 2000.

4/19/2004	Estribou, Gene & Jean Paul-Pickens	Intensifications	CD	$12.99	Locust	"By no means household names, both Jean Paul-Pickens & Gene Estribou levitated around the Bay Area scene and each made a subtle mark along the way: Pickens was one of San Francisco's legendary 'Diggers' and a knockout banjoist with poet David Meltzer's folk rock outfit Serpent Power. Gene Estribou famously recorded the Grateful Dead's second studio sessions & released their first 45 single in 1965. Footnotes? Sure. But that should only make the discovery of this lost gem all the more tantalizing. Cut in the mid-1960s, Intensifications is an obscure and illuminating slice of Marin county raga folk, a taste of latter day deltadelica that's a must for fans of the acid folk sound old and new. Together, Estribou and Pickens each cut a side of brilliant, meandering unaccompanied instrumentals: Estribou on acoustic guitar and Pickens on banjo. This single document has only ripened with age and should make it clear to anyone who ventures to give it a listen that both Estribou & Pickens deserve their place in the inner sanctum of charismatic acoustic guitar legends. Originally released on Henry Jacobs' MEA label."
5/29/2008	Eternal Tapestry	Mystic Induction	LP	$12.99	Not Not Fun	"In today's NEW new age one of the roughest audio landscapes to rehydrate and re-vivify seems to be ye olde 'rock/roll.' Too much schooled skill turns it to wanky puke, too much braindead string-mangling ends shit up in a puddle of noise drool. That hallowed middle ground is tough to hammer a stake into. But Portland posse Eternal Tapestry chase worms in that kinda moist soil all day and foggy night, and the two sides of glowing garden shroom-harvest they present on Mystic Induction makes a strong case for their status as psych-rock resurrectionists of the first degree. The LP opener, "Emerald Forest of Peace," weaves a languid path through ET's bright life as a short-lived five-piece (they're down to a trio again now), with mossy bass and blissed drums kissing the slow-motion wah fireworks exploding above in the rain-drenched air. It's a slow glide that continually threatens to ignite before eventually slipping into electric silence. And on the B jam ("Transcendence"), they make good on the threat of the A, riding a vertical riff into a howling storm of light and Jed Bindeman drum frenzy that leaves the rest of their recorded discography in the dust. Also marks the best use of wordless vocals ever captured on an ET track during the band's brief window with diva Janina Angel Bath on the mic. Planet rock is no longer a cold dead place. Black vinyl LPs in fabric-collage jackets with artwork by guitarist Dewey Mahood. Edition of 450."

9/17/2006	Eubanks, Bryan	Intrinsic Vol. 2	3" CDR	$5.99	Onomato	"Eubanks is one half of the duo GOD, who have released multiple discs on the JYRK label. Here you have one loooong track of minimal open circuit & cracxked electronics drone, developing at the glacial pace of a Niblock piece. It's quite a head crusher really. Limited to 50 copies. Hand stamped and #'d."
7/14/2007	Eubanks, Bryan / J.P. Jenkins	split	LP	$14.99	Olde English Spelling Bee	"Bryan Eubanks (of GOD) delivers a throbbing wall of distressed electronics that is "indeed heavy at intervals but also makes a cognitive transparent treatment" according to the cryptic liner notes. To further quote the liner notes: "... this music is a tool for is is sunk that in a different interpellation than overleving neccasitates." What? For his side, J.P. Jenkins (of Ghosting, Portland Bike Ensemble) layers acoustic guitars in a psychedelic, personal style thats more intuitive and exploratory than technically inclined. His unique approach sidesteps any of the current neo-folk/fingerpicking trends and goes for something more organic and amorphous."
2/19/2007	Evening Fires	Evening Fires	CDR	$9.99	Deep Water	"After a year in (slow-motion) preparation, Evening Fires are pleased to unveil their first full-length CD. Though the group includes members of the Clear Spots and Peacefeather , beyond a shared attitude of musical exploration you'd be hard-pressed to find many sonic connections here. "Side A" features a trippy flowing suite sculpted out of acoustic guitars, percussion, organ, synths, flute, and voice; while "Side B" is built around a lengthy invocation that starts from a mountaintop cathedral launch site to soar out over the forested valleys below. Call it folk-infused Northeastern psychedelia if labels are necessary, though the spirit is more important than any categories. . . . Eight tracks, 42 minutes."
8/2/2008	Evening Fires	Figures of Earth	CDR	$9.99	Digitalis Limited	"Evening Fires is a quartet of pennsylvanians, featuring members of clear spots and nessmuk, as well as the brains behind the deep water acres website & label. they're busy guys, but still found the time last summer and fall to crank out a set of backporch jams and slipstream electric boogaloos. they get help on banjo and mandolin on a few tracks, too, beefing up the downhome goodness. what really makes "figures of earth" such a stunning album is the diversity that doesn't take away from the overall flow. kraut-infused songs fit seemlessly next to something reminiscent of the black twigs. they don't fight it out, they just keep it mellow and roll on down the way. using an array of instrumentation from guitars, synths, and drums to saxophone, bodhran, and tabla, you get a lot of mileage out of these 47 minutes. the perfect soundtrack to your summer roadtrip. limited to 73 handnumbered copies."
