8/11/2003	>3 (Greater than 3)	Untitled	CD	$6.99	Maritime Fist Glee Club	"The concept of synergy posits, as the late, great Buckminster Fuller wrote, 'behavior of integral, aggregate, whole systems (are) unpredicted by behaviors of any of their components or subassemblies of their components taken separately from the whole.' In other words, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Whether this is what Christian Asplund, Michael Lee & Jon Haek had in mind when they named their trio >3 is open to speculation. In the time since, >3 have crafted a sound that incorporates elements of improv with classical and modern composition, utilizing everything from contrabass, violin, viola, pianos, harmonium, flute and piccolo to found objects, depending on time and setting. The music, itself, defies comparison; at times cacophonous and searing, at others, droney subdued, and soothing. Perhaps a cross between Kronos Quartet and John Zorn’s “elegy” (such a lame comparison will have to suffice)."

Mr Ellaby’s string action and amp smoke will rekindle the flame for more than one retired air guitarist. Keeping the faith."

1/1/2008	Galbraith, Alastair	Orb	CD	$14.99	Next Best Way	"Not since 2000s CRY has Alastair Galbraith delivered an album of song-based material. here are 20 new tracks, all hiss and bones raw hurt and high wonder. familiar backwards folk "here not there", barely-there ballad-fragments "one direction","tumbling" ,"homesick" "Short Dream For Fire Organ" where alastairs home-made gas-powered instrument booms away in a tunnel (pictured on the back cover) while disembodied whisperers come and go with you trapped down there under a bad drug "cut" a very short track of what sounds like 3 frogs 2 locusts and several clockwork motors recorded in a pigskin bladder. "Head Down" a hypnotic lullaby with swelling rolls of delayed guitar and tidal washes of vocals. "Cloth Master" which punches you repeatedly,while screaming in your face favourites would have to include the rock-bottom alt-country resignation of "something happened" and the mirror-imaged "your lilt" which ends with you waltzing with a skating cello round heaven."
	Galbraith, Alastair	Talisman	CD	$14.99	Next Best Way	First solo cd from 1995 on Alastair's own label
10/28/2003	Galbraith, Alastair / Constantine Karlis	Radiant	CD	$12.99	Emperor Jones	"A monstrous collaboration between two of New Zealand's most vital underground musicians Alastair Galbraith and Constantine Karlis (High Depebdency Unit), and another chapter in Galbraith's quest for pure beauty. Includes the 35-minute title track - a blend of Galbraith's trance-state guitar loops and violin with Karlis' metronymic drum bursts - backed with the cut 'Four Orbits' - a haunting collage of varying moods and intensity."
4/24/2006	Galbraith, Alastair / Matt De Gennaro	Long Wires in Dark Museums Vol. 2	CD	$13.99	Table of the Elements	"Multi-talented ALASTAIR GALBRAITH is the glue that binds the New Zealand underground. His work ranges from achingly lyrical violin for artists as disparate as PETER JEFFERIES and the BATS, to the feedback squalls he conjures as member of A HANDFUL OF DUST, to the otherworldly miniatures he crafts for his own solo albums. However, in recent years, Galbraith, along with American MATT DE GENNARO, has developed another remarkable performance idiom, one that is positioned closer to the sounding sculpture of HARRY BERTOIA. In "Long Wires in Dark Museums," architectural idiosyncrasies are transformed into nuanced and hypnotic audio. Wires -- some as long as 100 feet -- are affixed throughout a building. When the wires are taught and stroked with rosined hands or a piece of leather, longitudinal vibrations are sent to the points of attachment, creating a natural resonator. It is not the wires that make the sound, but the wall, railing or window frames at their end; wire length and room acoustics determine the pitch. The result, achieved in a veil of total darkness, is a beautiful and eerie confluence of chance and accident, architecture and improvisation. As Galbraith himself puts it, "There is some quite magical feeling of communion turning the lights off and making the building sing."
3/3/2004	Gamelan Son of Lion	New Gamelan / New York	CD	$12.99	Gamelan Son of Lion	"Strange vibes this way comes! Privately issued cd of strangely beautiful contemporary tunes cut for Gamelan instruments by this legendary out ensemble. Songs are Brighton Beach, Piece for Peace in the Middle East, Sixties, Four Dances for Balinese Angklung, Kebyar Leyak, Slendro Clarinet, Mostly Slendro Passacaglia. Chants and snaky melodies make this disc as mystifying as their two Folkways discs but with an occasional swinging feeling reminiscent of late Moondog sides." Released in 1995.
3/3/2004	Gamelan Son of Lion, The	Bending the Gending	CD	$12.99	Gamelan Son of Lion	"Wiggy stuff by the Gamelan Son of Lion crew. Featuring 11 compositions by as many performers. You’ll be as inclined to think of Bat Chain Puller era Beefheart and the strange world of Harry Partch as you would the traditional rhythmic strokes of the Indonesian Gamelan." Released in 2002.
3/27/2004	Gandalf	Gandalf	LP	$14.99	Radioactive	“With spellbinding, atmospheric songs which spin from soft dreamscapes into blistering fuzz guitar breaks, Gandalf casts a powerful spell. Led by singer/guitarist Peter Sando, the group was signed by Lovin' Spoonful producers Charlie Koppelman and Don Rubin and conjured their sole, self-titled album for Capitol in late 1967. One of the rarest major label psychedelic releases, Gandalf features swirls of Hammond B3 organ, caressing vibraphone runs and electric sitar on Sando's originals as well as imaginative recastings of songs by Tim Hardin, Gary Bonner/Alan Gordon, and Eden Ahbez.” Now available a stunning picture disc, limited edition of 500 copies.”
3/20/2007	Gang Wizard	Atlas of Cancer	LP	$12.99	Deathbomb Arc	"Ten years of Gang Wizard has seen the band/collective take on many forms. For the US and European tours in support of their album on Load, Byzantine Headache, Gang Wizard locked down their lineup, cast off their "fight club the band" cocoon, and emerged as an angelic force, delivering a unique thrash-bliss sound to the world. This is the first vinyl document of that new lineup. Sparkling synths and homemade glitter electronics are combined with whirlwind drums, screaming vocals, and aluminum spring guitars. A fantasy of blindness cycling through your lungs. Features members of Dynasty, Yuma Nora, Foot Village, Kevin Shields, and Unicorn Hard-On.
9/30/2008	Gang Wizard	God-Time-Man Universal Continuum Calibration	LP	$12.99	Lost Treasures of the Underworld / Green Tape / Tanzprocesz	"Follow-up album to 2007's "Byzantine Headache" on Load Records. What really sets this Gang Wizard album apart is that it was recorded in an actual studio. The load album and albums on Ecstatic Peace were all recorded at home through one mic into a 4track. So, after 10 years of being a band, Gang Wizard breaks tradition. The results are a dense network of sparkling electronics, brittle guitars, and intense vocals that will surprise even the most well-listened GW fan. A landmark." Black Vinyl w/ pro-printed covers (artwork by Zeloot)

6/27/2009	Ganglians	Monster Head Room	LP + 7"	$15.99	Weird Forest	"Sacramento's Ganglians want an island somewhere where they can soak in the sun and prowl the canopy by night. It's not often that they do get out, but they can get down for that. Recording sometimes as one, sometimes as four it's a real game to figure out where the entity comes from and where it's going. First and foremost it's about uncertain pleasures. It's a bit like choose your own adventure. There's "Codeine Balladry" a slightly upsetting tempo that is quickly flushed into an aural high, the next moment you're in the toy strewn abyss of the bedroom and then out to the tribal caves of the natives. The planets align and the sun beats down, palms tingling, and you are on the island they've built, the scenery constantly shifting for a better view, of you." - Revolver. "All completely new songs. This album is pure naive headphone acid pop to drive to, at least that's what was going through our heads."-Ganglians. Limited edition vinyl (500 copies) includes a bonus 7-inch.
6/11/2006	Gaping Maw	Two Improvisations	CD	$9.99	Archive	"Kurt Johnson most notable I suppose would be his stint as the bassist for the Chicago based FLYING LUTTENBACHERS. Anyway Kurt is a fellow haino'phile and someone I've corresponded with over the years. He bought one of the Haino double discs from me and when I shipped in his package I threw in the Dikeman CD, as I knew he circulated a little amongst some of the folks on that disc. Kurt emailed back and mentioned that he had played some gigs with Tatsuya Nakatani and that he'd send them out for me to check out. Cool, totally liked Tatsuya percussion work on the handful of discs I have of him. Mail comes like a week or so later I drop the disc in the tray and wholly shit this infernal racket comes slamming out the speakers fantastic I thought sounds like the whole damn band kicked down a flight of stairs over and over. I was def. expecting some light noodling or polite improv. Work but I suppose with Kurt's background I should have known better. After a few listens I pitched him on the idea and we squared away the details and we had a release!! Here's the line-up: KURT JOHNSON - bass guitar, double bass, electronics KYLE BRUCKMANN- minimoog, electronics, suona TATSUYA NAKATANI- drums percussion Def. a low-end thundering herd monster of a release. Kind of old material that had been kicking around awhile. Two different live sets one from late 01, the other from 02, but I think it's cool they get to see the light of day." - Slimm

3/20/2006	Garbes, Ryan	Real Sugar / The Lights	7"	$6.99	Arbor	"Ryan Garbes is the drummer of Iowa City bands such as Wet Hair, Dunebuggy, Trash Dog, and formerly Raccoo-oo-oon. His recordings under his own name represent a unique brand of solo multi-track recording with a seamless integrity; through a skillful use of instrumentation and recording technique, Garbes eschews notions of low fidelity for songs reminiscent of traditional American garage rock produced in the haze of an early 90's UK aesthetic. Genuine pop songs, cloaked in a comforting wash of reverb, as if Lou Reed had done a record for Creation; more ecstatic than obstructed Garbes' voice is a refreshing one outside the continuum of the contemporary four-track bedroom pop. In an edition of 300 copies with full color sleeve and printed labels by Ryan."
9/23/2003	Garland, J.	I Was Born & I Was Dead	7"	$3.99		1997 4-track recordings of guitar psychedelia along the lines of My Bloody Valentine / Flying Saucer Attack. Lo-fi sounds using guitar, organ, and drums. Edition of 200 copies.
10/14/2004	Garlic Yarg	Great Magnetic Wolves	CDR	$19.99	Nokahoma	“Garlic Yarg recorded outdoors. They start out playing the main riff from Black Sabbath's ‘Iron Man’ so slowly it's completely unrecognizable and it takes them two minutes to play it just once. Then they go on to sound like they might be the Blithe Sons' ornery cousins. Smolken even plays some ukulele and still sounds as evil as always.”
7/5/2011	Garrincha & The Stolen Elk	Void	LP	$15.99	Weird Forest	"With a pair of cassette releases in recent months on the venerable tape labels, Stunned Records and 905 Tapes, Garrincha & The Stolen Elk may seem like neophytes on the scene but the truth is Davy Bui and Matt Kretzmann have been making music together in one form or another since 2002. Both have been active in their regional noise and DIY scenes for years with little official documentation other than Bui's releases in Antennas Erupt! for Weird Forest and S-S Records. Garrincha & The Stolen Elk's full-length debut reflects this combined two decades of fully integrated experience and influences. "I Don't Believe You" kicks off the album with chiming bells and an upbeat church hymn slowed down and matched to a barrage of processed chanting voices. The song morphs into a hypnotic guitar loop layered with ringing synths, guitar washes and ghostly vocals, all building to a cacophonous climax replete with bleating saxes, a buzz metal riff and shredded guitar. "Tower of Babble" begins with sounds of rainfall and something sounding like slowed-down Gregorian chants as a chiming guitar melody softly repeats, eventually giving way to a buzzing organ drone, a tribal drum beat and belted German vocals before taking a final sinister turn with an insistent snare roll propelling the song towards its grand finale. The album concludes with the side-long, three-part "First Rites, Last Communion" suite. Heavily comprised of processed Asian church ceremony field recordings accompanied by occasional guitar and keyboard statements, the piece eventually erupts into a maelstrom of noise blasts, wild guitar and ringing bells before settling into a series of long, drawn out tones. Mastered by Graham Lambkin (ex-Shadow Ring), this album sounds like little else in the Weird Forest catalog." Edition of 320 copies with insert.
4/4/2011	Garrincha & The Stolen Elk	We Were Wyoming	c20 cassette	$5.99	Stunned	"Following up their recent 905 Tapes burner, Garrincha & The Stolen Elk's members Davy Bui (Weird Forest Records) and Matt Kretzmann uncork a bottle of straight up rock & roll. It's pretty damn refreshing having a band like this around, ready to rip through four tremendous songs in twenty minutes and still managing to cover all the right bases along the way. G+SE's chops are unarguably tight and not a second is wasted as fun house blurt and a wicked sax (!!) spice up the group's own totally original brand of rock madness. It'll be hard putting the cork back on this one for a long, long while. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c20 tapes w/ double-sided color card."
2/12/2008	Gas Sheperds	Gas Sheperds	cassette	$8.99	Bread and Animals	"English autodidacts and 'musique concrète' sources Gas Shepherds. Two Birmingham druids that speak their language with an odd dialect. the usual "disability" remark is not that far away, when checking in on this universe of the Gas. these nutters communicate strange bubbles and sweaty fidelics in wheelchairs. recently used as an alternative soundtrack for multi-media vision Arcade. this bag of hash mysteries is about to send your life in new directions....-- factory dubbed tapes. full color artwork."

	Gastr Del Hemp	Revenge	CD	$8.99	vhf	"Back in 1993 or 1994, I had an idea for a new supergroup 'The Three Laptops.' Not b/c I thought people actually wanted to see/hear a bunch of guys fiddling around with @*&^!* laptops, but b/c I thought it would be funny - like the then big 'Three Tenors' but with 3 laptops in front of music stands instead of 3 big fat guys. It was stupid then, and seems even stupider now, I know. Anyway, in the interim between then and a lot of people have actually been cranking out records and kicking out the jams in public with laptops. Meanwhile, out of the proposed original lineup for The Three Laptops, only I've got one, and heck, I just got it and it's WINDOWS based, for crying out loud!!! So much for beating anyone to market with that idea....So it was left to the VHF A&R staff to find someone worthy or our grand idea, even if it's so dated by this point that maybe we should just forget it and get started on 'The Three PDA's.' Mahavishnu Arthur Crawshay (Laptop), Earl Kuck (Laptop), and El Bobo Del'Amour (Laptop) probably don't consider themselves an influence on today's big laptop scene anymore than they consider themselves the front office staff for the Sacramento Kings - if you follow me - but for a moment in time dear readers, they were truly giants. You can clearly hear the very nuanced evidence on this sole document of their work. Licensed from Laptop Recordings, Chicago. 1 track, 27 mins." vhf
2/26/2006	Gastric Female Reflex	Lovers In The Midst Of Eating Fries	LP	$16.99	Beniffer Editions	"co-released with Absurd, Humbug and Gold Soundz. - intensively assembled between two pieces of thick chipboard - double screened and marbled uniquely with pseudo-op screened innards this is a slab of arbitrary blips, psychedelic vocal coaxings and collage insanity culled from the reflex archive." - Bennifer Editions.
6/10/2004	Gastric Female Reflex	Moments	CDR	$9.99	Gold Soundz	“Gold Soundz proudly presents 2 new works by Canadian psych / noise group Gastric Female Reflex. The music is generally rather low-key with some wonderful bursts of noise...All kinds of weird instruments are being amplified and recorded through different devices, there's a bit of tape manipulation and electroaccoustic clatter and rumble... on the second album even some voice loops... All mashed together and whipped up for your listening pleasure... You get flashbacks of ‘classic’ NZ noise (Surface of the Earth, Sandoz Lab Tech etc...) and perhaps some of that Dylan Nyoukis or American Tapes madness.... Both CDRs come in numbered editions of 50 copies, the actual discs are beautifully handpainted and the covers are individually made.”
12/24/2005	Gate to Gate	I Turn Black Keys	CD	$9.99	Troniks	"Confused like a two-headed snake trying to bite its own non-existant tail, Gate to Gate churn through gross tones, bass shudder and worst of all - vocals - with exactly the maladroit precision you'd expect from such a beast. This release presents one new 38 minute mess of blackened clatter and clunk, as well as collects their two extremely limited cassettes BANE and HOUSE WITH THE CLOCK IN ITS WALLS in remastered form. Heavy-handed and heavy-footed industrial noise by all accounts. from the blackened minds of Greh (Hive Mind, Chondritic Sound) and Mike Connelly (Hair Police, Wolf Eyes, Gods of Tundra). nearly 80 minutes of PURE SLUDGE."
4/11/2008	GazHeart (Rita Ackermann / Dave Nuss)	GazHeart	LP	$18.99	Locust	"With GazHeart, celebrated visual artist Rita Ackermann (voice) & the No Neck Blues Band's Dave Nuss (found percussion) created a playful spontaneous sound that seemingly bridged the gap between the broken pop sounds of certain strains of the no wave movement, sound poetry and catchy, otherworldly art folk using the barest of resources available to them. One time pressing of this special edition one-sided LP features an original etching by visual artist Rita Ackermann on the flip side. GazHeart is housed in a plain jacket with two opposing drawings for front & back by Ackermann."

8/2/2008	Geerken, Hartmut	Mappa #9	one sided LP	$33.99	Troglosound	"Hartmut Geerken is an incredible and misterious writer, filmaker, musician, composer and big traveller coming from the south of Germany. His musical work is unfortunately not well-known by the mosts; during the years he was working stablely with Famodou Don Moye, Art Ensemble of Chicago, John Tchicai and many others, and in 1971 he invited Sun Ra and the Arkestra in Egypt, where Hartmut was living at the time, being also the founder of the Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble. On this live recording from 1989, he's performing on prepared piano and short waves receiver, with the collaboration of Grace Yoon dancing and playing percussions. "Mappa" was a series of long performances (lasting usually around 4 hours each) the duo was acting on those years, and "Mappa #9" is the first released witness of this experience. The sound is a burning and explosive vortex of fire, without a single moment of breath." Limited edition of 117 copies pressed on pink vinyl. Each lp jacket is unique - artwork by Troglosound.
6/11/2006	Gelsomina	Nostalghia	CD	$15.99	Cipher Productions	"painful, multi-edged ambientisharshfuckingnoise with a bonus Grunt collab" - edition of 500 copies.
6/27/2009	Generals & Such	Quixote	c73 cassette	$7.99	Digitalis Limited	"This is a first for digitalis & friends... this baby is produced from a painted score. yep, painted scores. how fucking cool is that? well, based on the results from this trio of californians: christian kiefer, timothy rowan, & erik werner - it's pretty damn cool. here's a little background... generals & such, this is what they do. they play painted/graphic scores. this one is produced by werner (don't know if they all are) and this one is a 15 ft painting based on the first eight chapters of don quixote. i feel like i don't need to say anything else because that is simply incredible. but i won't taunt you... what do you get with a 15 ft painted score? scattershot percussion anchoring acoustic & electric guitars making skronks and waves. werner's acoustic playing at times reminds me of akiyama. rowan offsets this frenetic playing with calm and cool reverb-drenched spirals. it's an awesome contrast. the music progresses and unfolds slowly. kiefer's drumming guides the trio through the valleys and deserts, avoiding pitfalls unless necessary. the whole thing just feels monumental. tape is 73 minutes long, but each side is exactly the same. so it's basically a 1-sided c38, but i hate tapes with a blank side. pro-dubbed to boot."

Two brothers, two musical visions, different but so complementary to understand the subtlety of this family apart from the standards. Cyrus incarnates a folkier side while M.

5/21/2009	George-Edwards Group, The	38:38	LP	$15.99	Drag City	"38:38 is the lone release of The George-Edwards Group, an autumnal alien soundtrack that, over thirty years after being recorded (but not really released) defies time and categorization. If you've never heard of it before, that just means it's rare, right? This makes The George-Edwards Group's 38:38 one of the rarest private press albums of all time. 38:38 departs from the norm of the genre: instead of a low-fi demo-quality outing elevated mainly by dealer hype, it's a haunting piece of music that offers an unusually highbrow take on the archetypal Midwestern rock n roll existentialism usually addressed with a solid beat and sneering vocal. Crafting their sound out of the many influences of the day, Edward Balian and Ray George (aka, The George-Edwards Group) created pop music with acoustic guitars and harmonies, heavily-reverberant piano riffs, cold sheets of synthesizer, bells and chimes. Operating amidst the factory-charred grime of late 1960s Detroit, Balian and George's first group was the garage-rock obscurity Andromeda, regularly sharing bills with local heroes like The Frost, Rationals, and Amboy Dukes. Unlike these groups, Balian and George spiked their guitar blowouts with incongruous sound-on-sound experiments whose strangeness recalled lounge/exotica records of the 1950s. Too heady for the Motor City hard rock scene, they gradually lost interest in the restriction of playing all-covers gigs and turned to the basement, powered with multi-track tape recorders, processors and Moog synthesizers, flanging and phasing heavily with space effects and backwards loops, leaving a fair share of destroyed microphones and tape machines in their experimental wake. They first called themselves The Sorrento Steel Band to emphasize their metalloid leanings, but in 1974, Balian and George renamed their duo The George-Edwards Group (a la Pink Floyd, but using their own names) and began working on 38:38. Like other fascinating basement loners (Bobb Trimble or brain-fried Youngstown, OH scuzzers Stone Harbour), like The Beach Boys, Mamas and the Papas and Lovin' Spoonful. Their use of synthesizers to fill out the sounds created a melodic yet freakish hybrid. Listening to 38:38 one would assume that the George-Edwards Group were copping moves from Krautrock records (with a disheveled Arthur Lee-inflected singer/songwriter tinge), but those records were not sold at local mall outlets -- the guys had never heard them. All original artwork is included plus one more equally rare 45 track!" Repressed.

9/30/2008	German	Bunker	CDR	$6.99	Killertree Records	"Some trusta-irie chump sprawls his curry n' cloves apartment scent out in to the alley, jammin' Marley's "Could you be loved" and ready to give "great and good love" to some skinny-minnie broad (yeah, dreads) when the vibe gets reamed by trash can arguements and a scattered transmission (car), hurling down this sweaty purgatory. The doors/windows get locked and the trustas don't emerge for days from fear. Fear from music, man. German (Julian from skull-crushin' The Pope/L.A.) Give some unsettling electronic scabage - kinda like when The Residents were cutting their teeth on homemade sound devices, toss in some undanceable New Wave Hookers styled revelry, pull the plug on vision and fuck off to the rest of the kingdom.

Limited edition of 400 clear vinyl, 100 black."
	Ghost	Ghost	CD	$13.99	Drag City	“This is primitive early Ghost, psychedelic in the bell-bottomed way, sort of like a German Os Mutantes (or perhaps a Brazilian Amon Duul), mixing ethnic sounds in with the groovy beats, guitars, and the haunting wail of a recorder to create (rather than recreate) and ultimately define (rather than redefine) a completely modern psychedelic sound! With titles like 'Guru in the Echo,' and 'I've Been Flying,' the young psych side of Ghost is much on display here.” Debut from 1990.

Their new offering, Hypnotic Underworld, is their best album ever - more colorful than Ghost, heavier than Temple Stone, deeper and wider than Lama Rabi Rabi, more psyched and folked than Snuffbox Immanence and Second Time Around and with a more mountainous jam than Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet. Believe it. Yes, Hypnotic Underworld is heavy with highlights, ranging the continents in quicksilver fashion, adding 70 minutes of Ghost sounds to this world, all streamlined to an ultimate intensity."
	Ghost	Second Time Around	CD	$24.99	Drag City	"Ghost's second full length, SECOND TIME AROUND was originally released in 1992 on Japanese psych label PSF, but Drag City scooped up the American release in 1997. Much like their first self-titled release, this album flirts with acoustic guitar-based Eastern and Western trad folk while tip-toeing around psychedelic flourishes; the results conjure images of sweetly smoke-filled rooms and long, flowing hair. Masaki Batoh's throaty Japanese-language vocals drive the melodies, which are buoyed by flute, oboe, and various percussion, as heard on "A Day of the Stoned Sky in the Union Zoo." Batoh takes a break from his native tongue, however, on "A Drop in the Sea," a gently strummed tune sung in heavily accented English. Bouzouki, mandolin, piano, and vibraphone also make waves on other songs as a reminder of Ghost's psychedelic roots."
	Ghost	Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet	CD	$13.99	Drag City	"A series of dense, somber, acoustic compositions. Each of these songs turns a new page in the eternal book of Ghost. An atmosphere of morning pervades, as Ghost gives their undying respect to the nonviolent resistance of the people of Tibet."
8/28/2007	Ghost Brâmes	Eagle Arpegi	CDR	$7.99	Foxglove	"Florian Tositti and Jacob Garret's ghost brames brings a handful of magic mushrooms to the party. it is woozy music, as patterned as an acid high. simultaneously breaking apart and sewing itself back together again, "eagle arpegi" encapsulates the infinitism of the universe. slowly, the leviathan raises its head and sinks in its teeth, without alarming its prey. this is the true measure of great music. your blood will boil and your skull crack at its base, but in the end you're better for it. because really, how can you actually free your mind when it's trapped inside a bony prison? 100 copies"
12/31/2003	Ghost Exits	Cincinnati Riot Blues	12 "EP	$7.99	The Social Registry	"Destined to be the most played underground record of the summer" - Joshua Gabriele, Artrocker. "We are proud to present the debut offering from NYC two piece Ghost Exits; a four song 12" EP. Ghost Exits have seen incarnations as a free jazz combo & rock band but it was late in 2001 when the current incarnation began to take shape. Trading in their drums & guitars for a sequencer and some out moded analog synths Christopher Exit & Ivan Sunshine began looking to the British post-punk aesthetic and early 80s hip-hop for inspiration to create a new starting point from which to deliver their sound. Fast forward two years and you find the fully realized sound of Ghost Exits taking shape as they created a new beast to be reckoned with. It didn’t take long for the rest of the NYC population to catch up with these two; and it wasn’t long before they began playing shows with the likes of James Chance & The Warlocks. These four songs serve up but a taste of the raw animal magnetism that this band delivers. This is the inaugural edition of our 12" series, limited to 600 copies."

3/1/2007	Ghosting	Fox Glove	CDR	$7.99	Foxglove	"The seismic ripplies that ghostings drones are sending through the rose city are taking flight and planting seeds all over the globe. this group of sonic harbingers haunt the cracks and crevices of a world that seemingly only exists deep under water where life is a barely-there flicker amongst the murk. but ghosting's haunted aural landscapes are a beacon, like a lighthouse sunk below miles of the icy ocean, offering a glimmer of warmth in hostile waters. this trio continues its journey through the fuzz and static, and once again emerges with wings unscathed and silver skin." Edition of 100 copies.
2/4/2007	Ghosting	Live / Oakland +	cassette	$6.99	Arbor	"This Portland drone duo manages to create lengthy tracks with a psychedelic precision that makes you forget what time is/was/will be. This tape contains a track from a live show in Oakland with bustling airy drones and the dinging of bells luring the ears to go to places they have not been before. The track progresses thoughtfully with exact subtleties building to a climax only to come tumbling down with that exact progression. The B-side is a deja-vu conjugated burner starting where the other side ended.

9/17/2006	GHQ	Heavy Elements	CD	$12.99	Three Lobed Recordings	"Following on the heels of their fantastic 2006 release cosmology of the eye, GHQ and three lobed recordings are proud to release the aptly titled heavy elements. culled together from a live performance in brooklyn (january 2006), the trio continues to explore the intricacies of electric/acoustic drones and ragas in what is their most intense set of recordings to date. for this recording the band consisted of marcia bassett (double leopards, hototogisu, zaimph), steve gunn and pete nolan (magik markers, spectre folk, the vanishing voice, etc). heavy elements churns with the deeply layered drones that marked previous GHQ releases. while these sounds are present, this album differentiates itself from the band's prior outings through the addition of nearly-tribal drums and a more intense overall aural atmosphere. this is music that, while blissfully transcendent and beautiful, is not for the faint of heart. from a one-time pressing of 1000 copies."

3/20/2007	Giant Skyflower Band	Blood of the Sunworm	CD	$11.99	Soft Abuse	"During a sabbatical from regular duties in The Skygreen Leopards, Glenn Donaldson (never one to rest) dreamt of Giant Skyflower Band, an exotic, flowery and crumbling new recording project with nods to fruity new age, psych, prog, folk, and pop songwriting. Donaldson quickly invited multi-instrumentalist Shayde Sartin to "smoke marijuana & make up strange pop songs, " and thus the band was born. With Gong's seminal Magick Brother as a starting point and a sitar close at hand, the duo created a dark, peregrine pop transmission from their shoddy analog recording studio in San Francisco. Blood of the Sunworm is the duo's debut offering. Giant Skyflower's purpose is to examine in detail the idiom of Bummer Psych; the strain of damaged Anglo-pop music pioneered by Syd Barrett that arguably reached its apex with The Television Personalities' Painted Word LP in the mid-80's, but found new life in Japan via the genius of Tori Kudo and like-minded acts such as Nagisa Ni te and Tenniscoats. Indeed, Blood of the Sunworm consists of depressing pop songs and damaged instrumentals - teeth bared and falling apart as they are cobbled together - on a hazy, cryptic journey through a busted kaleidoscope, behind a dusty mirror & up through the rafters."
11/2/2008	Giffoni, Carlos	Adult life	CD	$10.99	No Fun	"This is shining and pure electronic music. Adult Life continues Carlos Giffoni's work in slow-building drones and prickly, trebly peaks, but he also imbues these new compositions with subtle structure and blind-siding rhythmic pulses which recall the many pioneers of electronic composition, among them Cluster, Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream.The caustic melding of foreboding abstraction and lively pulse raises Adult Life to a paradigm of the breathing and the immaculate, a strange set of dichotomies finding a shocking common ground. Carlos Giffoni describes this as some of his most musical work to date, a pure electronic excursion into more grounded troupes which almost paradoxically work out completely new sonic concepts and ideas. Original Illustrations for this full length by Megan Ellis."

7/19/2011	Giffoni, Carlos	Lift	LP	$19.99	The Spring Press	Pressed #01 in an edition of 250 copies on 200 gram virgin clear vinyl, featuring artwork by photographer Rachael Cassells. "A new studio LP from this synth maverick. Primordial dance music comprised of pulsating analog rhythms and austere waves of mechanical tones. With beginnings in laptop electronics and his focus now turned toward analog synthesizers and modular manipulation, results vary from the extreme to the beautiful. Mastered by Casey Rice." "On "First Steps in a ruined world", he pushes this bleakness of vision further than ever into the noise territories he used to stalk in his pre-modular synth work... There's physicality and momentum elsewhere, but by stripping back his music to its barest essentials, Giffoni has found a way to merge rhythm and texture, in the process creating a music whose sense of space and depth belies it's economy of means. Over a concise four tracks, Giffoni projects a vision that revels in the idea of the synthesizer as a grimy, mud-encrusted machine whose function is to soundtrack a dystopian present rather than reference an idealised golden age or imagine a shiny ergonomic future." - Keith Monliné, THE WIRE

11/21/2008	Giffoni, Carlos	The Absence of Essence	double 7"	$11.99	Arbor	"Carlos Giffoni's heavy synthesizer work recalls the crushing, massiveness of early industrial music. Completely consuming the air around it with heavy vibrations and total deprivation. These four tracks rip holes through the sonic barriers, loud and powerful but with entrancing subtleties and discreet builds. The nature of the 7" format does not harm Giffoni's work which normally exists in extended lengths; instead very succinct and unwavering compositions result: creating four vignettes of grey industrial zones. As the person responsible for No Fun Productions and the No Fun Fest, this Brooklyn transplants presence in the current progression of the genre is undeniable. In an edition of 400 2x7"(one on white vinyl and one on black) sets in gatefold sleeves with art by Maya Miller of Heavy Tapes/Religious Knives."

3/26/2006	Giffoni, Carlos	The Last Analogue Sessions	CDR	$9.99	Chocolate Monk	"Mr Monotracts final analogue throw up is a Chimo paste dripping brain tangle. Recorded in Bushwick in 2002, here we hear Carlos stumble into broken electronic/radio confussion, and emerge the other end with some kind of sonic afro."
1/17/2010	Giffoni, Carlos & Hive Mind	Claustrophobic Wreck	LP	$29.99	Ultra Eczema	"Although it's better than prison, it still isn't easy to live with two guys wearing an ankle bracelet, in the smallest possible wooden cabin somewhere in between new york and detroit. there's no food anymore, tab water is not drinkable, and eating each other's intestines seems to be the last enjoyable possibilty. The thick dense sound of synth throbbing bubbles up from these hungry bowels. 2 synths fighting their ways to better times, though right now everything looks pretty dark, gnarly and industrial, classic heavy synth waves, rhythmic madness and electronic sadness. comes in a collage sleeve by dt, limited to 300 copies."
3/2/2004	Giffoni, Carlos / Dylan Nyoukis	Chewing Smoke	CD	$9.99	Imvated	“Long awaited collab from these two fine chaps. Carlos is known for his work in Monotract and Old Bombs and his various collabs with artist like Thurston Moore and Jorge Castro. Dylan plays in Decaer Pinga / Prick Decay and has recently assisted Kemialliset Ystävät, making a better album. Chewing Smoke is compiled sending bits and crap to each other through the mail. In the end Carlos decided to end the thing, and took care of the final mixdown. And what a result that is. A superb clash between digital and analogue sounds, hums and cracks. Like a demented Pierre Henry on crack. Or your best friend, playing with alarm systems. Really. And what about the packaging. Cool drawings from the Nyoukis-dude silkscreened by a local hardcorekid. Silver prints on shiny colors. That kind of shit.” Numbered edition of 500 copies.
2/4/2007	Giffoni, Carlos / Prurient	Heavy Rain Returns	CD	$12.99	Ideal	"Heavy Rain Returns is a truly monumental album. Recorded in Bushwick, New York City - it's an intense trip into harsh noise and electronic sickness. Carlos Giffoni is maybe best known for his great "Welcome Home" record for Important and his curator skills are infamous through his No Fun Fest in Brooklyn which is the world's most extreme music festival. Prurient is Dominick Fernow who is operating the Hospital Productions label and shop out of a basement in New York. His albums "Black Vase" and the latest "Pleasure Ground" for Load Records are both highly recommended and loved. Here we hear two of the US-noise scene's absolutely most important creators together - and man, it's pure energy hitting you hard."
4/10/2009	Giffoni, Carlos / THE RITA	Two on a Match	double LP	$21.99	No Fun	"The ongoing study and execution of harsh noise by driven artists constantly reinstates the medium via different techniques, concepts, and different artist amalgamations for a collaborative work. For myself, working with the different 'warbling' and generative moving lines of modular synth from Carlos Giffoni offered me a chance to investigate many different 'spaces' of tone and line manipulation. Manipulating and playing with escalating and dying tones that all the while keep a throbbing pace was something that I always wanted to work with being a fan of the jutting and tremolo-like rough 'wave' tones of harsh noise artists from Aaron Dilloway/Spine Scavenger to Atrax Morgue. The opportunity of working with the sources of Carlos Giffoni was exciting as I got to manipulate 'dirty' and constantly moving cutting modular synth electronics, the challenge being making the lines articulate with something of THE RITA's hiss and pedal driven nature. The examination and crossing of the different LINES slowly become their own parallel entity as the adjoined and wavy synth lines are further dirtied, cut repeatedly, and joined with the knife of 'gated' and cutting HN pedal work. Not unlike the manipulation of the textural, rough, and linear landscape pieces of Richard Longs mixed with the 'chopping', yet smooth lines of Donald Judd's installations. Both exude the same amount of power, but via very different textural 'lines' of installation. To further manipulate and display the different lines and HN stylizations, Giffoni had the opportunity to heavily edit the textural work of THE RITA to exude the constantly moving and jutting sense of Giffoni's own pulsing and driving synth decay via the dirtied analog source material of THE RITA. Modular snyth and pedal work have been long standing tools in the world of harsh noise, but not often are they crossed over with such investigative and crackling tendencies - a virtual criss-crossing of the different technical lines. - Sam McKinlay(THE RITA) - Limited to 300 copies"
5/16/2010	Gift	Blue Apple	LP	$19.99		"A limited vinyl reissue of a rare Krautrock release from 1974 on the Nova label. Their 2nd album, it continues with the excellent heavy, hard-charging guitar riffing of the first, but adds substantial progressive keyboard parts with organ, mellotron, piano and moog, plus some very tasty flute parts. This has the original, really grotesque artwork, and before we get too hippy-dippy here, let's recall that "Gift" means "poison" in German. German import."

1/17/2010	Gitchi-anahmi-bezheu	Wonder	cassette	$6.99	Earjerk	"We have said it before and we'll say it again... Earjerk is not a drone label... exclusively. But when something beautiful graces our ears we can't resist packaging that beauty up! (no matter what pigeon hole you want to stuff it into). I got to hang out with this cat and do a few live shows with him out on the East Coast, and man... I gotta say, dude delivers! I actually saw Ian perform as Dream Safari but, if anything, this new incarnation just turns everything up a notch... or down...however you wanna look at it! I guess down would be more appropriate. Cause this is deep, deep stuff! Fantastic Underwater Panther Music! The two times I saw Ian play live (and on all the cassette releases I have encountered) there is a definite progression that his pieces live through. This is something that is missing in many (MANY!) drone projects you might encounter, in which most finished pieces sound like they were chopped out of some large sprawling jam. *Snip! Snip! There' s the best chunk.* Not with Gitche. You can tell these pieces were self contained. A definite beginning, middle and end, you know? You can easily imagine these creations as living things as you listen to them originate, grow and die. Fleshy pink tapes. Individually hand-stamped covers on beautiful vintage paper. Limited to 99 copies."

"Our" is their third release, following tapes on Tone Filth and Twonicorn (which have recently been released together as the "Two Tapes" LP), and constitutes a formal peak for their unmistakable sound. Helgerson's utterly blasted guitar spurts smoldering static drones which are stalked and devoured by Meyers' rumbling tapes and electronics. Broken plumes of charred, oceanic rumbling, and gorgeous vistas of saturated analog gliss."

Crackling prisms of guitar drone flow forward, carried by minimal tape loops and a penchant for abrupt editing. Dreamy and dreary at the same time. These tracks were both caught live in the fall of 2006. Color cover on white gold cardstock, individualized clear color labels. Hi-bias chrome tapes in an edition of 130."
1/17/2010	Glass Rock	Tall Firs Meet Soft Location	LP + Download	$13.99	Ecstatic Peace	"Glass Rock is a song, is a band, is a way of life. Glass Rock is the crystallized movement formed by the molten lava makeout of the two bands of the album title: Tall Firs meet Soft Location. It's a werewolf and a rhino on a first-date rampage of Korean Food and poppers, doing the Cabbage Patch on the boardwalk, kissing babies with beer breath, all with truthful love in their hearts. The core elements of the Soft Location sound are Kathy Leisen's haunting voice and boneyard guitar, and Matt Kantor's slo-mo jet fuel bass jamminating. Add Tall Firs: Ryan Sawyer's could-blow-your-pants-off-but-prefer-to-slowly-work-them-over-your-hips drumming and Dave Mies and Aaron Mullan's creamy dual-savant guitar stylings: two dudes who don't even know how the other guy's guitar is tuned but nonetheless have brought the tandem knockout reverb dropkick since 1991. The band actively refuses to discuss influences, even with one another. With two pairs of childhood friends in the band, the music just happens and the listener is left to speculate. The dilettante thinks Chan Marshall or an Astral Weeks-era Van Morrison caught an extra-rad time machine ride and now inhabits every moment from 1955-2013 simultaneously. The serious aficionado is thinking Martha Reeves, Amon Dull II, the Gories, Otis Redding. But Heads know: This thing is wigs, Pepsi commercials, Sam Cooke, hardcore festivals, and free stuff on craigslist. In reality, Glass Rock are a prisonyard football team: a motley collection of wizened lifers, small-time pimps, and the wrongly convicted. Leisen is their Burt Reynolds. A painter on the Outside, she woke up back in the huskau of a recording studio after Awesome Michael ratted her and Kantor out to Ecstatic Peace. In the yard Tall Firs were hanging around bench-pressing twice their body weight. This record documents their crushing and dramatic defeat of the prison guards, and their harrowing escape during the ensuing melee. There is nothing contrived about this band. Neither derivative nor hybridized, GnR II are truly shark / half alligator sung of in days of yore, with inflatable Sasquatch feet and one popsicle arm. This thing will get bestial with you on the dancefloor, and will hold you tight on a pre-dawn canoe ride; staring at the stars crying at the wonder and terror of it all."

8/2/2008	Glory Fckn Sun	Spectra	LP	$17.99	Tipped Bowler Tapes	"The sky done clouded over after Glory Fckn Sun's debut album, yielding this brooding and corrosive follow-up. The New Zealand sorta-super group of Antony Milton , Ben Spiers, and Simon O'Rorke concoct a slow-burning behemoth of metallic shivers and distortion churn, dark enough to invoke the dread name Haino. Spectra is an unsettling mind-meld: Spiers desolate soundscapes bleed into Milton's heavy drones, which are complemented perfectly by O'Rorke's restless percussion. Group improvisation is the natural language of these three; even listing their solo and collaborative albums over the past decade would take way more effort than I can muster. Suffice to say this is a stellar and unique record to add to their massive discographies. In an edition of 300 red 160 gm. vinyl records, housed in silk-screened, heavy-gauge recycled stock jackets."

Crushing rhythms, searing lead guitar, wrapped up with a deadly production make GOATREIGN a solid slab of classic metal! This has been an underground classic circulated amongst metal bands and fans alike.

7/19/2011	Goblin	Roller	picture disc LP	$38.99	AMS	"Roller was the second record for Goblin, originally released in 1976, just after the successful score of Profondo Rosso, and is one of the very few Goblin records that was not intended to be a soundtrack. By many considered their best effort, in Roller the band develops their dark, hypnotic and totally instrumental sound, but with an always vivacious and dynamic edge. The record also features new members Agostino Marangolo (from Flea) and Massimo Guarini. 300 copies limited pressing in beautiful picture disc."
7/19/2011	Goblin	Suspiria	picture disc LP	$38.99	AMS	"Probably the most scary soundtrack Goblin has ever written (don't listen to it when the lights are down!), apparently it seems that the score was composed before the film was ready, so that director Dario Argento had to make some changes to the movie script, in order to have the music perfectly suited! This legendary soundtrack combines elements of music and sound scary effects going far beyond traditional background scoring, becoming an integral part of the film. As critics say nowadays, Suspiria music 'is so perfectly integrated into the film, fares less well as a stand-alone item. All that pounding, howling, thumbing, and wheezing is enough to send chills down your spine even without the movie images (it is the perfect imaginary soundtrack), but not all of it could be called a pleasant listening experience (unless your idea of pleasant is having your nerves set on edge).' 300 copies limited pressing in beautiful picture disc."
12/25/2005	Goblin Market	Haunted	CD	$14.99	Camera Obscura	"Camera Obscura Records is pleased to announce the long-awaited second release by Goblin Market, a side project of Green Pajamas' members Jeff Kelly and Laura Weller. Their 2001 debut release "Ghostland" garnered lavish praise for musically rendering the morbid and occult sexuality of the pre-Raphaelite movement, and their new release examines a current analog of this milieu for another mind-bending excursion into the themes of gothic literature. Titled Haunted, it features songs inspired by the novels and poetry of celebrated American author Joyce Carol Oates. The musicians' mutual fascination with this prolific and masterful author and her uniquely dark vision resulted in this collection of songs, the source material for which mines a broad range of her work including lesser-known short stories, a novel under Oates' nom de plume, and poetry. The musical style blends alternative and folk-rock sensibilities with rich vocal harmonies. Exploding into flames with Weller's burning Green Pajamas-like rocker 'Dark Days', 'Haunted' again showcases the versatile songwriting and performance skills of Weller and Kelly, running the gamut from epic piano-driven psychodramas to delicate, perfectly-formed ballads, to sultry gothic (as opposed to 'goth') rock. Most strikingly, the near nine minute opus 'The Model' takes Kelly into new territory; icy electronics perfectly mapping out Oates' dark themes. As elsewhere on the release, prior exposure to Oates' work is not required for appreciation of what Kelly and Weller have achieved."
12/24/2005	God	Anti-Sex, Anti-Wiretapping (Made In Taiwan)	CD	$7.99	Jyrk	"FINALLY. The first CD release on JYRK. Brought to you also by Gameboy and Little Enjoyer. For those familiar with the label, you'll know that GOD is a favorite of us at JYRK. We've gone on and on about their odd ways and majestic sounds. GOD could be compared to folks like AMM or the Improvised Music From Japan crew due to the meticulous attention paid to the construction of even the most minute sounds in their pieces. Instead of rambling on about how they busted Gabe's eardrum at low volumes or how Bryan isn't interested in editing music at all (it HAS to be good from start to finish), I should let the dudes speak for themselves about WHAT they do (this little bit was stolen from W. Week and was written by James Squeaky) Sundstrom: I use old record players and various types of records (vinyl, tin, graphite, drum cymbals, etc.) to produce different frequencies of feedback. Everything from temperature to arrangements within a room can change the type of resonance of the frequencies. This resonant feedback is attenuated with a parametric equalizer in order to arrange specific beating tone patterns. The grooves of the records are rarely used. The speakers and how the room is shared amongst the people in it dictate the end result. A positive attention is what really generates a positive outsource. Eubanks: I have designed an open-circuit board instrument composed of four former guitar effects pedals that were digital delay/sampling pedals. They have power modulation I installed, and they feed back directly into their circuit boards and each other with wire and alligator clips. It is much simpler than it sounds, sort of a very basic modular synth, with patches created each time I play. It is very dependent upon my physical interaction with the instrument. There are no button-pushing or static effects and/or outcomes. I also use pure sine-wave samples I have created that are stored on various CDs and mixed together, and sometimes field recordings."
9/29/2005	God on our side	OST	3" CD	$7.99	Fact Records (Israel)	"Inspired by Picasso's Guernica (1937), 'God on our side' is fundamentally about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the name of God, people are infused with rage and violence. Fear leads to brutality and vengeance follows. What hope is there for a child born into this circle of loss? The music was composed by Uri Kranot (a member of Hapuritanim Hatze'irim ) and recorded live (with members of Yuppies With Jeeps ) while screening the film, during August 2004 in Jerusalem."
1/24/2009	God Willing / Privy Seals	split	LP	$12.99	Arbor	"God Willing and Privy Seals are two of the prime purveyors of meditative harsh tones. God Willing's guitar and oscillatior drone has been reaching epic levels of hypnosis lately and this piece is a great example. The repetitive nature of textured signals act like the swaying charm of the pocket watch: onward march. Matthew Sullivan has been crafting his Earn project recently, and this, one of the final Privy Seals recordings acts as a logical bridge. Heavy, hi-end guitar and tape interlacing: a harsh movement, but possessing transcendently soothing qualities buried under the deprivation of distorted tones. At the end of the hallway a door lies open. A long overdue document of the LA Diaspora. In an edition of 300 LPs with silkscreened chipboard covers by Ren Schofield."

1/24/2009	GOL / Charlemagne Palestine	Pandamoniahbleeummm!!!!	LP	$25.99	Planam	"Entering their twentieth year of existence, the GOL orchestra, together with the label Planam, celebrates and starts a new program of collaborations: the Gollaboration series. Volume 2, Pandamoniahbleeummm!!!! marks the encounter with Charlemagne Palestine, pioneer of strumming music and piano maximalism, in the St. Eustache Church in Paris, known for its world famous church organ. The following battle, in form of a long incantatory improvisation, Charlemagne Palestine playing the church organ and GOL doing the electronics, bass, guitar, and the flutes part, combines many attributes of a pagan ritual. GOL was formed in 1988 in Paris by Jean-Marcel Busson, Frédéric Rebotier, Ravi Sharda and Samon Takahashi. The quartet embodies, within a post-dada spirit, a lost rural tradition. GOL plays flute, horns, guitar, violin, toys, self-manufactured instruments, tapes, turntables, voices, various percussion instruments and electronics, an appropriateness of both traditional string instrument and handmade lo- fi equipment. GOL's first LP (gol lp 01), issued in 1993, compiles their first items (88-92) based on vinyl- record's scratching, tape's cut-ups and acoustic instruments. The issuing of this LP was followed by a 9 years long hibernation. Since 2002, the band is back together to pursue its common research and play together of instinct and invention. Their music, electroacoustic oriented, is partially improvised and partly tense. At the time of a collaboration with Rumanian composer Iancu Dumitrescu, GOL developped a score system known as 'layer's leaf '. Through this system, they could elaborate an hybrid music, between orchestral conduct and free interpretation of movements. Edition limited to 300 copies, also including a large insert with liner notes great graphics by Jean-Marcel Busson who also design the front and back cover."

Electric and intense spontaneous experiments, on the edge of electroacoustic music and primitive avant-garde. Live recordings in Marseille and Paris with the participation of Ansamblul Hyperion members Petru and Matei Teodorescu on one track.

6/1/2002	Gold Sparkle Band	Fugues And Flowers	CD	$12.99	Squealer	“There's a palpable sense of adventure at play over the course of the four magnificent pieces on Fugues and Flowers, recorded at various venues during the band's tour of the Midwest in the late spring of 2000. The southern astro-funk of their previous album Nu*Soul Zodiac gets transmogrified into something deeper and more complex, as new ideas inform the music and allow it to expand outward. The band was always solid and well-rehearsed, but now the rhythm section has that rare intuitive quality, the compositions are complex, yet memorable, and the ensemble playing is exciting. GSB is capable of a driving muscularity, as they demonstrate on the powerful opener ‘Zodiac Attack’, but they are just as comfortable with a gentle, melodic lyricism, as their excellent version of William Parker's ‘Holiday For Flowers’ proves. The band reworks their older material with vigor, and attack the challenging new material with verve. Fugues and Flowers feels like a transitional recording, yet it's a powerful statement in its own right; if there's a transition taking place it's from excellence to transcendence.”
10/26/2004	Gold Sparkle Trio / Ken Vandermark	Brooklyn Cantos	CD	$12.99	Squealer	“With one foot firmly planted in the avant tradition and the other boldly stepping into the future, the Gold Sparkle Band’s newest recording, Brooklyn Cantos, unites them with kindred spirit Ken Vandermark for one of the first important jazz recordings of the new decade. Vandermark and the GSB members share similar sensibilities and influences, and their sympathetic interplay exemplify the heroic conviction present in the heart of the finest jazz recordings. This is the third full length Gold Sparkle release on Squealer, following Nu*Soul Zodiac in 2000 and Fugues and Flowers in 2002. Liner notes are by Bill Meyer.”
7/6/2011	Goldberg, Sam	Having Had Forgot	LP	$14.99	Arbor	"Having Had Forgot marks a distinct departure from Sam Goldberg's past recordings, both his lush electric guitar and synth work as well as his borderline-pop project Radio People. Having Had Forgot features Sam working with a rotating ensemble of Midwestern musicians (Tiger Hatchery's Ben Billington, Mike Forbes, and Andrew Young; as well as J. Guy Laughlin, Ben Osbourne, and Jeff Host; for a total palette consisting of acoustic and electric guitar, field recording, percussion, synthesizer, saxophone, double bass, and clarinet). The result is eight careful, delicate songs; varied in instrumentation, but presenting the same elegant consideration of mood and contemplation as his solo works. Private music from a young man; a contemporary offering in the tradition of ensemble records on Windham Hill from William Ackerman and Mark Isham; the opportunity of actualizing personal moments through various actors and the unique textures they are each able to contribute to the whole." Edition of 500 records with full color jacket and inner sleeves.

The collaboration vibes from Mike P. and Peter F. seem to have no trouble channeling heavy zones for what is only there fourth release. They use the constraints of a 7 minute side to there absolute fullest potential. a perfect balance of fuzzy ambients and weirdo key collage. The b-side is new jams from Sam G. Heavily influenced by Cybertracker and the films of Paul Wynne, his side offers more short "cycles" -esque synth pieces. This time introducing sequencing and vocals to the mix. Extended full color inserts and hand painted cassettes." Edition of 100 copies.
7/16/2004	Goldblood	Live	Cassette	$5.99		"Goldblood is a C60 cassette-only project with Plastic Crimewave & film director Amy Carghill, in which the duo take the melody ‘As Long As He Needs Me,’ that mawkishly peon paeon to patriarchal wife-beating from Lionel Bart’s ‘Oliver’, and subsume it under a barrage of arthymical industrial suffering in a Raw & Alive stylee redolent of Fripp & Eno’s magnificent ‘Swastika Girls.’ Carghill’s jagged Vox Jaguar organ transcends even Martin Rev’s ROIR-period Half Alive-period Suicide for sheer heart attack, and I’d love a split-screen video of the two to go along with it!" – Julian Cope

Golden Cup's wild sound comes from there unique use of electronic mandolin, electronics, electric guitar, and electric organ making a wildly original psyche out blast that is truly immense. This LP consists of two long pieces, one per side, both quite different, but both equally awesome and hazy psychedelic jams to highest order. 'O Sol, O Mar E A Harmonia, Do Seu' opens with bubbling electronics, layering in drones and shimmering guitar bliss outs. The drone steadily increasing to a massive wall of electric burn. The B side, 'Improvisation', gives us wailing strings with mandolin bursts, raging to a full on ethereal freak out.

Composed via the postal system, Autumn Testament is a hymn to the season of red, gold, and orange. A canopy of leaves shelters the proceedings from the fog that threatens to obscure these sounds. This is a glorious combination of organic grace, blessed by the forests of past centuries and those still in their infant stages. The trees will put tears in your eyes!"
4/20/2008	Golden Oaks, The	Paradise	CD	$12.99	Music Fellowship	"Paradise is free form Applachain abstraction from the folk/minimalist duo of Keith Wood and Brad Rose. Originally released in a here today, gone tomorrow CDR edition on UK label Barl Fire, this batch finds these autumn alchemists offering seven soul-soothing hymnals to the wind and the trees and the sky and the leaves. Tranced-out falsetto drifts atop supple strumming to create traditional backwoods folk, stressed and compressed by the walls around them (or lack thereof), making it softer and airier. Their fractured take on folk is complimented by multi-layered bowed string and harmonium drones, created from that same soft and airy palette. As the smokey reverb of the drones reaches resonance, the spectrum fills and amplitudes peak in spaced-out bliss. While this collaboration shows Wood and Rose at their most experimental, the two are likely better known for their original solo projects. Wood's Hush Arbors project has lurked around the edges of public consciousness, soliciting raves from fucked folk figureheads Ben Chasny (Six Organs) and James Toth (Wooden Wand), which led to touring and recording with both. Wood's first supporter - like so many underground folk acts - was Rose, releasing many of Wood's early recordings on his Foxglove CDR label, and then rereleasing them in fuller runs on his proper CD label Digitalis. Rose's solo project, The North Sea, holds an equal underground significance with understated forest folk recordings released on almost every folk friendly CDR label. The most prolific and interesting of his many collaborations is this project, The Golden Oaks, as these two friends trade ideas and expand on each other's vision. This reissue of Paradise is remastered and extended."
7/31/2011	Goldendust	Digital Skies	c16 cassette	$5.99	Night People	"A cassette precursor/demo to a Night-People LP coming out later this summer, Goldendust are the Midwest's finest purveyors of minimal synth bleakness, catchy synth pop gloom, and lingering soundscape isolation. This duo has horded and honed there analog synth and electronic library to create something mesmerizing and of its own will. Upcoming LP on Night-People this summer."
4/24/2006	Goldoolins	Songs of the Turly Crio	CD	$12.99		"A great thing for acid folk lovers about this second album is that the style of the group has a stronger consistent focus on an acoustic fundament, with the same Trader Horne/Sallyangie association as before and beyond. All songs but one are sung in English. The arrangements are wonderful, and the vocal harmonies have a love driven happiness, even in the lament styles. The few brass instrument arrangements, much more than the previous album, are better adapted into a folk / perhaps slight old music flavour. A bit different is the humorous blues song, "Country Traveller", still with the stringed instruments playing like troubadours having lost their time perspective and making fun of it. And "Dusty", equally fine, is more like an on the road songwriter expression. A great album with integrity, which will surely appeal to those liking the fundamental 70's more than the periods with different interests after this."

1/30/2010	Goner, The	Behold A New Traveler	CDR	$9.99	Deep Water	"Behold A New Traveler is the second Deep Water entry from Sweden's The Goner (after H.H. , last year's 2-disc reissue of super-limited self-releases), and it marks a confident move forward on all fronts. In contrast to earlier work, most of the new Goner material is song-based (just a pair of instrumentals on hand here) and full-band powered, making for an album that's both thematically unified and stylistically varied, from solo acoustic melancholy to wailing psych-rock. While it is still possible to draw lines from BeholdŠ to the music of other contemporary folk-derived artists such as Six Organs of Admittance, Palace Brothers, and Stone Breath, at the same time the overall feel owes as much to Westerlund's own cultural roots (recall that Sweden produced some legendary psychedelic rock & folk back in the 1970s), and the Goner's creative voice continues to develop with a clarity of purpose that offers much and suggests more. Pro-pressed CDr; seven tracks, 37 minutes."
4/10/2009	Goner, The	H.H.	double CDR	$11.99	Deep Water	"H.H. reissues a pair of wonderful 2008 folk-psychedelic-experimental discs by a Swedish artist called the Goner. We first heard about him from our friend Mats Gustafsson, who wrote that the Goner "delivers spiritual music that accompanies dreams, as it organically flows across the sky when you're walking to work and creeps up on you when you least expect it to. It's tempting to place his work along the lines of Hush Arbors and Six Organs of Admittance and although that's true you can also hear his background in the lo-fi scene", not to mention subliminal influences ranging from Swedish folk songs to the trippier end of technoid electronics, all processed via a sonic template that's both richly layered and authentically "there". Of the two discs, Hind Hand works as a flowing instrumental psychedelic journey, while Haven experiments a bit more broadly with style and instrumentation (including vocals), and together the two tell a story that's as deep as it is wide. Seventeen tracks across two discs, around ninety minutes of music."
3/27/2004	Gong	Acid Motherhood	CD	$14.99	Mister E	"When the standard-bearers of 21st Century psychedelia Acid Mothers Temple merge with experimental originators like the maverick Anglo/French collective Gong, it's total music - post-industrial nu-psychedelia at its most intense and beguiling. Gong return to the creative fire once more - to be reborn. From the crucible comes the glorious chaos that had to happen. In February 2003, Kawabata Makoto and Cotton Casino (both of Acid Mothers Temple), with guitarist Josh Pollock (of University of Errors) joined Gong originators Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth, plus drummer-son Orlando Allen and Indonesian bassist Dharmawan Bradbridge in Byron Bay, Australia, to record a new Gong CD together - an album is like no other in the band's 35-year history. For the first time there are three wildly different guitarists, no sax and, on half the tracks, no bass player." Recommended!
12/11/2002	Gong	Magick Brother	CD	$17.99	Victor Japan	Japanese reissue of classic 1969 LP originally released on the French BYG label. "This CD reissue beautifully replicates the original's artwork on a nice mini gatefold sleeve and thankfully rescues this work into public visibility. Led by Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth, Gong's debut album presented their spiked vision of ‘The Kingdom of the Pothead Pixies’ into truly illustrious fashion. The spiritual heirs to the fractured throne of Syd's Pink Floyd, this is space-whisper genius from the peak days of the psychedelic dream." - FE

Those 2 albums are the rarest and best LP´s beside Juan De La Cruz Up In Arms. Wally Gonzalez is the amazing heavy fuzz guitarist on all Juan De La Cruz albums. If you like heavy fuzz guitar / prog music similar to Shinki Chen and Speed Glue and Shinki, you will love those 2 albums by Wally.

6/11/2006	Goslings, The	Spaceheater / Perfect Interior	CD	$12.99	Crucial Blast	"Spaceheater/Perfect Interior collects the first two EP's from husband-and-wife duo the GOSLINGS, originally released as short-run CD-Rs on low-fi/indie noise imprint Asaurus Records in 2003-2004. Working with a signature palette of melted,low-fi indie pop and muggy/smeared psych-drone ambience ground through overdriven amplifiers and shot out into pools of swirling basement shudder, The GOSLINGS adorn their gorgeous powermurk with eerie field recordings, ghostly subterranean vocals, and crackling cable buzz.If SUNN O))) had, in actuality, been a psych-addled late-80's dreampop outfit on 4AD Records, or if cult shoegazers MEDICINE had ever collaborated with drone-axe sorcerers EARTH, the resulting fug may have been similiar to this avalanche of mystic black sugar. Simultaneously ethereal and blown-out,angelic strains of four-track mud-majesty shaking the walls of the ancient well it's buried beneath."

This is more radio drama than music. You really have to know your history to appreciate the melding of historical event that this disc presents."

2/12/2008	Gown	For the Maples	LP + CD	$20.99	Three Lobed Recordings	"Gown (aka Andrew MacGregor and otherwise known as one-half of the Bark Haze with Thurston Moore) moved from western Massachusetts to Nova Scotia earlier in the year. Before he moved, he wanted to have one big audio blow-out to remember some grand old MA times. With that goal in mind, Gown went into the studio with the Sunburned Hand of the Man gang (represented this time out by John Moloney, Sarah O'Shea, Ron Schneiderman and Taylor Richardson) to melt some audio consoles. "For the Maples" represents a portion of that recorded output and believe us, it's some massive stuff. Sunburned's thick funk presents the perfect background for Gown's shredding guitar-play. Extremely hot stuff, especially the massive side-long "Bending Close." As per the Three Lobed standard, "For the Maples" is pressed on 180g RTI vinyl. It will be housed within silkscreened jackets (screen work by Alan Sherry / SIWA) bearing new artwork by Gown. The record will be from an edition of 693 copies and, similar to the Basalt Fingers LP and as an added convenience for our vinyl friends, will come packaged with a glass-mastered CD (not CD-R) of the material present on the wax."
6/27/2009	Gown	The Old Line	LP	$14.99	Divorce	"Andrew MacGregor may be most known for his otherworldly guitar collaboration with Thurston Moore in Bark Haze, but his solo work as Gown is equally cosmic. The Old Line is avant-garde guitar music for deep listening and coming undone. A weird meditation. Sprawling webs of guitar ambience and outsider mantras capture an ethereal solitude- the sparse Nova Scotian landscapes that Gown now calls home reflected in the texture of his music. This is noise that sounds like a sky of birds settling into the trees for a night away from the wind. Limited to 500 copies."
3/2/2008	GR	Xperiments Within the Tentacular	LP	$21.99	Lesdisques Blasphematoires Du Palatin	"As the needle first hits the vinyl you would be forgiven for thinking you had been sold the soundtrack to an obscure sci-fi film as metallic sequencers, alien synths and driving percussion flood from the speakers. You can almost see the men wrapped in bacofoil, trying to take over the world as a barrel of psychedelic effects render the film almost impossible to watch. The one thing you will remember is the soundtrack, the electronic feel now overtaken, by crazy guitar playing, exploding across the universe, as a weird cacophony of sound melts your brain into soft goo. After this fantastical opening, the music takes another sharp turn with the warped Electro-Pop madness of "Berlin Corpse Is The Sister Damage", the sinister electronic pulses causing you nerve-endings to dance across your skin. Finally for side one, the aliens attack again, a resolute march, the tension wound up tight, as creature climb through the air vents and the lights flicker…..After a brief alien lullaby, side two picks up where it left off with "Deviation No. 1), a powerful tsunami of noise, beautifully constructed, raw and untamed. This is an album that benefits from high-volume as it invades you home destroying all in its path. Featuring vast amounts of guitar, overdriven wah usage, and some dextrous fingers to put it all together, it is a relentless attack, maybe in this movie the aliens really do succeed in wiping the puny humans from the earth. Just as it all become too much, the haunting grace of "The Phantom Suite" offers quiet reflection amongst its grooves, Perhaps salvation is at hand after all, the aliens weakspot has been discovered. Finally the long guitar overload of "Bullets for People" unites the rebel forces for the final battle, the instrument singing a hymn for freedom, as the people take control of their destiny. Strange, ragged and glorious, this slab of vinyl should be snapped up by everyone, the spirit of the individual burns brightly throughout its sonic grooves." - Simon Lewis, Terrascope Online Reviews
2/7/2009	GR and Full-Blown Expansion	GR and Full-Blown Expansion	LP	$24.99	Lesdisques Blasphematoires Du Palatin	"How does one man jamming with himself sound? GR & Full-Blown Expansion is the incarnation of one Gregory Raimo's various alter egos come together for a psychedelic freak out in the vein of Ash Ra Tempel, performed with Neu!'s proto-punk crudeness, and dragged through a gallery of effects, manipulated beyond musical recognition. I ought to weave in some clever reference to Pessoa's toying around with heteronyms, interacting with each other and employed to express different aspects of their author's emotions, but this French one-man-band is way too acid-drenched to even consider not being one, if it's just one with, well, one-self. And falling apart, over and over again, throughout the 43 mins of this ridiculously limited vinyl only release. Who be he, this GR? He's the French singer and guitarist in Gunslingers, he's wont to fool around with old organs, and he knows enough about drums to completely fuck up anything approaching a steady beat, even though opener "Descent Along the An-Ti-Fohn-Nul" reminds me of this mid-90's UK group The Invisible Pair of Hands, if it that serves as a reference to anyone out there? No? Thought so." Edition of 300 copies pressed on white vinyl.
6/4/2010	Grails	Black Tar Prophecies 1,2,3	LP	$17.99	Important	"LP version of Grails' pivotal 2006 release Black Tar Prophecies 1,2,3. Released to coincide with the debut of Black Tar Prophecies 4 being released simultaneously on Important Records. Cut and pressed at RTI for maximum fidelity. Heavy duty tip-on gatefold jackets by Stoughton. At the start of 2005 Grails returned to the U.S. from a month long European tour. Stepping off the plane, most of the band walked in one direction and the violinist strayed off in another. It ended up being the last time most anyone would see or talk to him. A bandmate of three records and five years had vanished only to exist in the form of vague rumors (violin hocked for petty cash, living on the streets, etc.). As the varied reports of brief encounters and sightings grew stranger and darker, the band started a series of recordings called Black Tar Prophecies. The remaining members had particular dissatisfactions with how the band had been grouped into the innocuous contemporary 'post-rock' movement. This frustration, combined with newly liberated instrumental roles, introduced new possibilities for the band's sound. In this way the collected Black Tar Prophecies ends up being a more idiosyncratic mission statement for future Grails recordings, revealing their fondness for the ground floor '60s and '70s experimental artists that saw music as a process of discovery as opposed to the pre-conceived, pre-parametered, commodified sport that underground music has become. A parallel is now forming between Grails and old-school experimental bands like Faust who, rejecting their past, started over from the beginning to build new languages in music. Grails' third full length recording, and first full length since leaving Neurosis' label Neurot, is The Black Tar Prophecies. Seven of the nine tracks from this full length were released in small, highly sought after pressings of 12" vinyl on two European labels. Important is proud to release The Black Tar Prophecies in its complete form, including two tracks not available on the vinyl releases. The Black Tar Prophecies is a massive evolutionary step in the established Grails sound and it is shrouded in change and pain. The somewhat clinical studio sound and recording style which has established them a tremendous following has been replaced with a much more free and conceptual recording style. This method liberated the group in the studio and these recordings feel much more open, heavy and for lack of a better term 'psychedelic.' We're not talking about the cliché co-opted psychedelic fashion, but psychedelia as a reckless embrace of new states of mind and possibilities. This sound has always existed within a Grails song but now it has been heavily pushed to the foreground. Perhaps even more eloquently and simply stated, Black Tar Prophecies 1, 2, & 3 is their best record yet."
6/4/2010	Grails	Black Tar Prophecies 4	LP	$17.99	Important	"With Black Tar Prophecies Vol 4, Grails reawaken the series that initially began the run of records that mapped their rise to the forefront of modern instrumental music. While recording their full-length records with an eye towards cohesion and epic production, the Black Tar series affords Grails a backdoor to a black lodge where they can explore total head music. With a more lawless atmosphere and an overtly dark aesthetic, Black Tar's relentless re-mixing and sonic juxtapositions return the listening experience to a more innocent position, where expectations can be exploded and insidious sentiments come dressed in gently poisonous forms. In this volume, Grails combine back-masked satanic tape collage with old Emmanuelle soundtracks, pushing them further in the direction of a classical Italian melodrama soundtracked by Nurse with Wound. The Black Tar material is conceived slowly, in between tours and full-length albums, giving Black Tar its own experimental space and keeping its final sum unknown even to its practitioners. Like the slab of black slate in the opening of Kubrick's 2001, Black Tar is an attempt to bring the ritual act of music back to it's original mysterious genesis, where the listener and artist both stare into a nebula's electric cloud before it takes its inevitable shape as a planet." Comes with a heavy duty, tip-on style jacket.
10/25/2008	Grails	Doomsdayer's Holiday	LP	$16.99	Temporary Residence Ltd.	"Following up last year's "Burning Off Impurities" and their recent "Take Refuge In Clean Living" EP, GRAILS return with their darkest, heaviest record yet. Written and recorded over the last 18 months, "Doomsdayer's Holiday" delivers on the promises made by their previous albums, taking equal pride in smoky psychedelics and mountain-ascending riffs. With Faust, Earth and Sunn O))) collaborators acting as engineers - not to mention drummer Emil Amos having recently become the new other half of Om - Grails' avant-metal leanings are evident as always. But "Doomsdayer's Holiday" finds their already-broad palette continually expanding with 70s European film noir and cosmic free jazz explorations complimenting the Middle Eastern psychedelic folk-metal the group is already known for. After a wildly prolific three-year streak that saw the band ceaselessly pushing forward, Grails have finally made an album that pushes back."
3/21/2007	Grand Hotel, The	The Upper Reaches of Wind River	CDR	$8.99	267 Lattajjaa	"Another unknown name and another winner from the eclectic 267 Lattajjaa label: this opens with soporific layers of blissed-out folk - minor-key guitar arpeggios and murmurred vocals, then deviates into a more ritualistic sound of pounding percussion with psych-guitar trying to tunnel its way through the smothering thunder. The last track delves deeper into abstract noise: guitar-based drone / repeptition and vaguely industrial clunking." - Boa Melody Bar
3/20/2010	Grand Trine	Sunglasses	12"	$12.99	Divorce	"The Sunglasses EP finds Montreal's leather clad, psych delinquents Grand Trine injecting the energy of rock with the liberating sonic adventurism of the avant-garde. They do it with violence, piss, life, bleakness and primitivism. And they do it well. Led by agitated frontman Tobias Rochman (formerly of Be Bad) and featuring free jazz sax player Cabral Jacobs, this 5 song EP captures that primal four-on-the-floor frenzy epitomized by proto-punk outfits like the Stooges, MC5, Electric Eels, and early Velvet Underground, bands that lit the spark for the initial punk movement. Grand Trine have been riding a hot streak that shows no sign of letting up. This 12" is easily the next best thing to watching these guys bleed it out in some sweaty Montreal loft. Grab a copy while you can."
10/8/2010	Granelli, Jerry	1313	LP	$13.99	Divorce	"Jerry Granelli has lived a mythic life. He drummed in some of the biggest jazz outfits of the 50s-60s, including Vince Guaraldi Trio and the Denny Zeitlin Trio. Like many of his peers, Granelli could have played it safe and made a comfortable career doing traditional jazz into his old age, but instead he dove into the new worlds of free and psychedelic music that were opening up around him during the hippie era in San Francisco. In the early 60's he led one of the first free jazz bands in America. They did a three month opening spot for Lenny Bruce and toured extensively through Europe with the Grateful Dead, playing completely wild and spontaneous sets night after night, often to the scorn of unsuspecting audiences. A few years later he joined Light Sound Dimension (LSD), an outfit that paired marathons of free, amplified jazz with projection painting, effectively launching the first ever psychedelic light and sound event at the San Francisco Art Museum in 1967. LSD was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Since those early years Jerry has played with an impressive list of innovators including Bruce Frisell, Ornette Coleman, Jamie Saft, and Anthony Braxton to name just a few. And at 70 he still travels the world playing and teaching new music. Despite all his accomplishments, until we asked, Granelli had yet to make a solo drum record. For us it seemed fitting that after a life behind the kit, Jerry finally go it alone. No one, including Jerry, knew what to expect, but the results are remarkable. All the tracks on 1313 except one were played with no overdubs, and most were done in a single take. For those of us involved with documenting the session, it was a magical night. 1313 is dark, masterful, and bravely unique --- an outstanding new exploration of percussion and sound by a man who has been challenging himself musically for 60+ years. Here at DIVORCE we have never been more excited about a release. Engineered by Charles Austin. Produced by Charles Austin, Jerry Granelli, and Darcy Spidle. Mastered by Weasel Walter. Art by Yo Rodeo."
2/14/2008	Grass Magic, The	The Grass Magic	LP	$19.99	Earjerk	"This LP features members of the Skaters, Jewelled Antler Collective and Davenport, all kicking up dust in a rickety old barn. A spontaneous happening, the few hazy nights leading up to PastureFest 2004 may not be easily recalled, but the christening sounds, emanating from a ramshackle farm in the vales of southeast Wisconsin, are imprinted here on this unassuming LP. Featuring an alternate B-side jam (of music pulled from the same session) not found on the cassette version. Otherworldly and just down right cosmic!" - label. The "Grass Magic LP comes from Wisconsin and the 23 Productions scene (label is Earjerk)... it's a one-off jam that was recorded the night before the legendary Pasture Festival and Jubilee in August 2004, by a 10-person lineup that features most key members of The Davenport Family, both of The Skaters, Glenn Donaldson of Jewelled Antler.... it's a total jam and it sounds like it, but once Side A gets going it picks up a nice walloping head of steam and one thing that distinguishes both sides from the general mid-00s moanwave onslaught is the crafty psychedelic rhythms that snake underneath. Anyway, I'm glad they pressed this thing up (the cover is a thrift-store LP jacket turned inside out and silkscreened with stoner artwork, and some brief liners that name the lineup and include a rad quote from Rabindranath Tagore, stuff like that)." - Larry Dolman, Blogstitude - http://blastitude.blogspot.com/

Rather than filling every possible space with the common horror vacui free jazz attacks the duo's riposte lets the sky open unto the bleakest corners they can find. A return to the early, pre-Wolf Eyes Olson-Hall duet square-offs, this 'cello-less document finds Olson grasping with the Braxton-Teitlebaum sides and Hall running the push-pull linearity of Xenakis circa Psappha and addition to the Milford Graves poly-metered rewirings of flash card rudiments. The hiatus of Buetow's 'cello in the forum alleviates much of the homage to contemporary classical phraseology and architecture. What it lacks in mock-intellectuality brains it makes up for in the post-fire music brawn of any reasonably raucous energy." - Ben Hall. Edition of 100.
4/6/2010	Graveyards	Relocated Cooling Towers	one-sided LP	$13.99	American Tapes	"What is up with the mail these days? Sometimes you get the weirdest things. Are "Dog Missing" flyers illegal now? Seems like it, cause just the other Tuesday I lurched out to check the daily box to see if my new copies of DIRGE or EVIL MINDED shown up yet, and there was this lone LP resting there. Had a post it note stuck to it that read: "PLEASE HELP: OUR CREATURE THING HAS VANISHED. WE SUSPECT THE WORST. WE CANNOT GIVE DETAILS ON THE THINGS/ANIMAL OR HAVE ANY PICTURES< BUT WE DO HAVE RECORDINGS OF IT IN "ACTION". PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS RECORD (at any speed) AND CALL 237 - 4568 IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON OUR MISSING CREATURE. AND RETURN MY STAMPS- THANKS- YR NEIGHBORHOOD LOOSE ANIMAL CULTURE CENTER" Shaking my head, thinking how I just got a killer local platter to add to the animal sounds/droll Yankee/ chooltch industry recordings sections and put the record on. Well, it seems like they are never gonna find this thing cause it SOUNDS like a super shy version of that horrible creature in the twilight zone flick that tries to scare the passengers and eat the plane. But this "Thing" hangs out in empty hangers and lightly scrapes its torn and rotten fingernails across HUGE rusty industrial size fans at 3am in a creaking wet unlit corner. Who would want this in their house? Sounds from this animal are rare, seems like this LP has like three light rustlings and the THING is gonzo, moved on...just like a ghost trace of it... good luck to them. After jamming the "MISSING CREATURE" lp on every speed my numark can handle, I IM chatted fellow animal sound lp vet DILLOWAY and told him about the new local style missing thing section, and he said energetically: "Dude, you should quick like go around the neighborhood and grip all those lps and put em out, donâ•?t get busted say it's...I dunno... GRAVEYARDS or something..." FUCK!!! Killer idea. So here it is - all the LPs from District 176 Howard St./Frandor with NO INFO and a crude handmade painted sleeve like from the hairy mitts of the said MISSING ANIMAL itself. If you find this THING.... shit, record it and do a FOLLOW UP. And leave it in yr NEIGHBORS mailbox. UUUGGHHHHHHHH.

8/30/2009	Green Blossoms, The	Whiskey Leaves	CD + 3" CDR	$16.99	Digitalis	"It was important we get this out in the heart of summer because "Whiskey Leaves" its familiar melodies and breezy instrumentation are the perfect accompaniment to your hot, humid nights. The duo of Aiko Koa and Anthony Guerra first made their presence known on a micro-edition CDR from New Zealand's Pseudoarcana. "Whiskey Leaves," though, is a different beast entirely. While on the surface these compositions feel simple, once you dig a little deeper you realize the care put into each song. This is intimate music. Guerra sets the pace with layers of makeshift percussion and guitar. Koga also plays ukelele, but it's her voice that is the real focal point of the album. Soft and restrained, even when you can't understand her words (some of the lyrics are in Japanese), you are hooked from the get-go. Hours later, you find yourself humming her melodies whilte her ghostly incantations are stuck in the back of your mind. This is fractured pop perfection. "Whiskey Leaves" will be a welcome addition to fans of Tujiko Noriko, Tenniscoats and the like. Beautiful. Limited to 500 copies.

11/21/2002	Green Pajamas	All Clues Lead To Meagan's Bed	CD	$14.99	Camera Obscura	"Following on from their 1997 ‘return from the wilderness’ album ‘Strung Behind the Sun’, the Green Pajamas return with arguably their strongest album to date in ‘All Clues Lead to Meagan's Bed’. If it wasn't already self-evident from earlier releases, there should be no doubt after this one that Jeff Kelly is the finest practitioner of the mid-period Beatles influenced psychedelic pop song around today. 12 of the 15 songs on ‘All Clues Lead to Meagan's Bed’ are his, characterised by heart-stopping melodies, swirling harmonies, and sinewy guitar lines. Mere replication of the codes of the psychedelic era is not the point here, though. Kelly has a poet's soul, and the songs are a potent medium for lyrical expression. There is no innocence here, the concerns are as often dark and ambiguous as they are elevated and joyous. On the flip side of delirious, celebratory treats like ‘The Secret of Her Smile’ and ‘Queen of Sunshine’ you'll find tales of obsession, psychic disturbance, madness and addiction like ‘Death By Poisoning’, ‘Rattlesnake Kiss’ and ‘The Laughing Horseman’. This dialectic is underlined by some extraordinary and unexpected musical delights. The folk-rock lyricism of ‘Dear Jane’ (characteristically about the Brontes) is shattered by a chorus of atonal blasts of guitar noise and distorted vocals - a direct product of Kelly listening to King Crimson's ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ just prior to recording of the track. Joe Ross's ‘Pastel Summer’ throws the whole bag of ‘I Am the Walrus’ jiggery-pokery into a collapsing star with the aid of the most remarkable descending chord sequence we can ever remember hearing. And the glowing mysticism of ‘Morning in Myra's Room’ rises in the East like a pole star, eyes focussed inwards as infinity wheels around it, a drone symphony of guitars, keys, sitar and tabla, and yet another signifier of quiet greatness."
8/7/2002	Green Pajamas	Narcotic Kisses	CD	$14.99	Camera Obscura	"In November 2000, Camera Obscura released an LP of Green Pajamas rarities in a tiny pressing of 300 that sold out on pre-order. We promised the band's many fans that a redux version on CD would come eventually, and here it is. The original was an ‘Odds'n'Sods’ style selection of rare and unreleased tracks from the PJ's vaults. ‘These are the Best Times’ and ‘Vampire Crush’ were released on a limited lathe- cut Camera Obscura single in January 1999. ‘Song for Christina/A Nightmare’ was given away as an MP3 single-of-the-month; ‘The Fall’ was on our 1998 compilation ‘Serotonin Ronin’. The other tracks were previously unreleased. This CD version adds six more tracks - more than 30 minutes - of equal coolness and rarity. ‘Dim Phantoms of an Unknown Ill’ only previous appeared on the cover CD for an issue of UK freakzine Ptolemaic Terrascope, and is a Cohenesque early template for the sound that would later evolve into the well-received Goblin Market project. ‘Deadly Nightshade’ appeared on the Terrascope benefit CD ‘Succour’, and is much revered among fans as possibly the finest Green Pajamas track ever. ‘If He Should Go Away’ is a fine album session outtake that appeared first on a Chunklet magazine CD. ‘The Night Wind’ and ‘Highgate’ are outtakes that were later reworked as Goblin Market tracks. ‘Just Another Perfect Day’ is another previously unreleased recording, made for a film but not used, and is a perfect closer. Far from being second rate or disposable, this is material right up with the Pajamas' best work, and will have their legion of fans astonished all over again."
11/21/2002	Green Pajamas	Northern Gothic	CD	$14.99	Camera Obscura	"Camera Obscura welcomes the Green Pajamas back where they belong for a new full-length studio release after several outings for the Woronzow/Rubric axis over the last two years. ‘Northern Gothic’ is the Green Pajamas strongest work since 1998's ‘All Clues Lead to Meagan's Bed’, containing their darkest and most atmospheric recordings to date, as well as the maximum safe dose of Kelly's psychedelic guitar work, superb contributions from other voices within the band, and an intricate thematic integrity that rescues the idea of the "concept album" from bad progressive rock hell. The title comes from the band's desire to evoke the geography of the USA's Pacific Northwest. As Jeff explains ‘It describes the feel and sound of a song like ‘Lost Girls Song,’; itself inspired by the novel Lost Girls by Andrew Pyper which, though modern, has a very gothic sort of feel and takes place in northern Canada. Living here, you have a certain landscape, a certain weather etched into your psyche. The trees, lakes, rain, the way the sky looks - they all combine into a very gothic sort of scene.’ The opening track ‘In the Darkness’ encapsulates this, sounding almost like collaboration between The Walkabouts and Neil Young. This album finally breaks the nexus between the band and its roots in Beatlesque psychedelia. ‘With the Pajamas records I've certainly been interested in influences, The Beatles being the most obvious’, says Jeff, ‘but we've done our I Am The Walrus parody ending for fun, and needed to move on. If you look at all of the releases since ‘Strung Behind the Sun’, there has been a progression and evolution of the music away from the obviously psychedelic towards a more unique place.’ The often extended and very live sounding tracks on ‘Northern Gothic’ mark the Green Pajamas hitting their own, distinctly American style; finding their own unique place. Beauty and darkness co-exist, no more so than on the keynote track ‘First Love’, where delicate piano and vocal sections are interposed with the heaviest guitar work in the band's oeuvre. Add strong contrasting song contributions by fellow band members Eric Lichter and Laura Weller to Kelly's compositions, and you have a landmark record to add to this band's already formidable body-of-work."
	Green Pajamas	Strung Behind The Sun	CD	$14.99	Camera Obscura	"Strung behind the Sun" is a dazzling ray fired into the prism of psychedelia, refracting off in all directions. Lyrically, "SBTS" sounds like product of pensive afternoons sat in Seattle coffee shops, a curtain of rain on the glass turning the street into abstract washes of colour. More songs about snow and Madonna complexes, family and Tumbledown Tess, darkness and illumination."

Originally released through the band's own Crashing Jets imprint, Dead In The Woods is a massive exhortation of lumbering metallic dirge, freely improvised amplifier noise and crushing riff splatter, and massive, sky-streaking psychedelic corrosion, travelling the speaker-shredding void between The Dead C, pulverizing sludge, and Skullflower's heaviest jams. The Crucial Blast re-issue of Dead In The Woods features a full remastering by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound, and will also come with a brand new packaging design via a 4-panel case printed by Stumptown Printers."

"times on wings of spit" is their first release outside their own label in a while, and these massive drone attacks are taking the quickest route to your skull. shards of glass cut deep into your psyche while the molten-lava tones pour in. few groups can build as much tension and simply make it disappear into a wash of field recordings and japanese samples like this. it's like being thrown out of an airplane at 30,000 feet; total chaos until you pierce the cloud cover and fixate on the canopy of trees below. you know it's going to hurt, but at least you've got the best view."

"Previous Grey Park releases (that I've heard) have been unsettling drones, like distant electric hums. Just one track on this 3" sounds like that. It opens strangely with a lopsided jaunt into African pop sounds (really!) and ends with an equally odd take on space-rock." Boa Melody Bar

Clocking-in at just over 40 minutes, the five-track "Candlelight Eyes EP" showcases the signature heartbreaking and brooding melancholy of its aforementioned sister-album, and at times incorporates intimate chamber folk arrangements, all of which draw more from the musical heritage of the mid-1970's German electronic underground, that inspired Bowie's Berlin trilogy, than the pastoral musings of 1970's psychedelic folk. "The Candlelight Eyes EP" features cover-art by Scapegott, is packaged in jewel cases and limited to 200 copies."
8/28/2004	Greyscale	Cruel Machine	CD	$12.99	Camera Obscura	"Cruel Machine is Melbourne trio Greyscale's debut full-length album and is an extension of the sonic tapestry of 2001's self-released 'Scientifically Rough' EP. Emotionally evocative, cinematic and forcefully beautiful; 'Cruel Machine' transports the listener into a distinctive mood zone which continually winds and weaves throughout the entire recording. From sparse to dense arrangements, 'Cruel Machine' menaces and appeases the senses. Most tracks are spirited improvisations, recorded live and subsequently built up with additional instrumentation and supplemented with atmospheric field-recordings. The results has roots in the beautiful noise of progenitors Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, and will appeal to fans of psychedelic power-merchants like Bardo Pond, Kinski and Paik. 'Cruel Machine' was entirely self-produced by Greyscale, free from the constraints of on-the-clock studio time. The long gestation period allowed the band the freedom to experiment with instrumentation such as vibraphone, acoustic guitar, congas, melodica, short wave radio, Kimbal entertainer organ, and double bass. Many field-recordings were employed such as industrial sounds captured on mini disc during a field trip to Melbourne's industrial precinct Dandenong. Of course there is the continued presence of previously explored instruments such as tamboura, vintage keyboards, and analogue synthesizers and the ever-present hum of tape echo and dirty analogue effects."
	Grillo, Fernando	Fluvine	CD	$15.99	Ampersand	"Originally released as part of Cramps' Diverso series in 1976, Grillo's Fluvine has long been regarded as an important and influential audio document by netherworld artists like Nurse With Wound. Karlheinz Stockhausen dubbed him the 'Buddha of the Contrabass,' and avant garde heavy hitters Iannis Xenakis, Luciano Berio, Luigi Nono, Klaus Huber, Henri Posseur, and Iancu Dumitrescu have all composed for him. This is the first-ever, fully re-mastered CD issue of Grillo's solo explorations of the limits of contrabass. Includes several archival photographs, schematic scores, original notes by Grillo, and retrospective notes by French composer Ana-Maria Avram.

1/17/2010	Grippers Nother Onesers	At Slimer Beach	LP	$15.99	Olde English Spelling Bee	"Completely remastered issue of a cult classic tape from 2004/2006. Limited to 450 copies. Pro-printed black & white covers and insert. also known as: Lamborghini Crystal 1992 Cool Runnings Holiday released 2006 on cassette on New Age Tapes. Recorded 2004 in the parking lot of the Jim Daytona Avenue 711 memorial. Dedicated to Richard Ramirez. Grippers Nother Onesers is a channeling of teenage mutant glue sniffing psycho dreams, a prelude to the psychotic beach bum depression induced by junkfood and huffing siphoned gas out of the Oscar Meyer mobile. 'After Dark Cravings' starts out with a voice saying ''hello earthlings' which is an alien mistaking a candy bar for the HIGHER LIFE FORM inhabitants of earth's soft analog air minimal lo-fi satanic ritual resinated at the bottom of a plastic bong. Ashes of the Charles Manson Family Band. A flash of memories of a Grateful Dead tape playing after you picked up a psycho hitchhiker. Jim Carrey self-consciousness about his new nose job at the Oscars, being a vessel for the voice of the omnipresent leviathan comprised of lost souls stranded naked on the shoulder of the fast lane. 'aside from the heavy Richard Ramirez zone I wanted the record to have the feeling of when you find a half empty bottle of anti-psychotics and just see the name of the owner and you wonder where that person is now'- PTC. So please enjoy this space caker from the heaven's waiting room of custom S.R.O. song booth stars."

11/30/2011	Grody, Danny Paul	In Search of Light	LP	$15.99	Students of Decay	"In Search of Light is the full-length follow-up to the well-received Fountain (RS 057CD), Danny Paul Grody's debut solo release. Many listeners no doubt recognize Grody from his work in San Francisco-based groups Tarentel and The Drift. As a solo artist, he produces wistful, poignant music culled principally from acoustic guitar and synthesizer. Grody's work recalls aspects of the post-Takoma school in that fingerpicked, cyclical melodies make up the crux of many of his recordings. However, he also masterfully avoids the pitfalls of the genre, invariably favoring concision, lyricism and ideas over dexterity and flare. In listening to In Search of Light, one can't help but imagine these recordings appearing on some lost private issue California folk LP from the late '70s- such is the timelessness of Grody's aesthetic. As an album, In Search of Light is an assured and beautiful statement, an aural tracking shot of the California coast that feels as old and familiar as the sun. Artwork by Billy Joe Miller. Mastered by James Plotkin. LP in edition of 500."

5/6/2011	Group Doueh	Zayna Jumma	CD	$15.99	Sublime Frequencies	"Group Doueh's latest record is here and the plot continues to thicken! >From the gorgeously cracked yet all-embracing opening drum roll of "Zayna Jumma" (the title track), it's evident this band is hell-bent on redefining the sound of its influences and in turn, shape the future sound of its surroundings. It's musical alchemy in its purest, most remarkable form, pushing at the boundaries of geographical divergence while simultaneously speaking to the shared resonances between Western rock rhythms and the pulse of the Saharan trance tradition. Since its inception, Group Doueh's ability to craft pop hooks from a foundation of saharoui roots music has been a manifestation of sheer song craft and innovation. The tracks on Zayna Jumma are a deeper excavation of the group's forged terrain: a collision of contemporary Afro-Saharan grooves balanced with the searing modalities of Doueh's desert origins, finally nuanced by the transcendental pop/rock/desert blues elements honed from gestating in the fringes of the Sahara desert. For the latest installment of this Dakhla family's musical dynasty, Doueh recruits his next eldest sons El Waar (synth) and Hamdan (drum kit), and wife Halima is augmented by three female back-up singers. The band keeps evolving and this album reveals its newest phase -- that of a formidable ROCK unit. The songs on this record were recorded in 2010 -- a busy year for Doueh, maintaining its day job as the go-to group of the Saharan wedding industry while still managing recording sessions and a tour with Tony Allen (Fela Kuti's long-time drummer). On the heels of this momentum, Zanya Jumma is released to coincide with the group's 2011 spring/summer tour of the UK, Europe and a first-ever U.S. tour. This band continues to redefine the musical landscape and keep listeners amazed and transfixed. It's the perfect ecstatic music for the impending apocalypse, a rogue sound rooted in the past and yet boldly harnessing the aural possibilities of the landscape ahead... go ahead and jump aboard. Recorded on location in Dakhla, West Sahara in 2010 by Hisham Mayet."

7/10/2008	Grouper	Dragging A Dead Deer	CD	$17.99	Type	"The third full-length release for Portland, Oregon-based Liz Harris. Harris might have achieved a significant fan base thanks to the whispering, near-ambient vocal crusades of her debut album Way Their Crept and its follow-up Wide, but those with a careful ear would have heard slightly more trapped beneath her fuzzy chain of effects. Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill marks a departure of sorts for Liz, which sees her turn down the fuzz boxes which caged (and to some degree defined) her sound and allows her voice to ring out above everything else. It is an album steeped in the world of dream-pop and far from shying away from the reference, Liz has instead grabbed on with both hands, creating an album's worth of perfect, left-field pop songs. Using delicate song structures which are at once both familiar and somehow alien, her vocals cry out hauntingly over stripped-down guitar lines and looped environmental recordings. These are the future soundtracks to love, despair and ultimately, hope."
7/15/2011	Grouper / Inca Ore	split	LP	$19.99	IOG	"Self-released second vinyl pressing of the split by INCA ORE and GROUPER. Initially self-released on tape in 2007. This version has new black and white artwork. Though it's a proper split, each side resonates strongly with the other-hissing and dream-sick, songs whispered in the dark. Inca Ore's side is feverish and haunted, much of it recorded while on a somewhat nightmarish journey taken through Mexico several years ago. Grouper's side is distorted and pitch-twisted Wurlitzer and guitar songs, recorded during a rain heavy winter, about unexplainable disappearances, invisible structures."
7/16/2006	Growing	Color Wheel	CD	$11.99	Megablade/Troubleman	"There have been many words and phrases to describe the musical duo known as Growing. Anything from "destructive" to "meditative" to "hypnotic" could be used, and anyone one of those words would be correct. But no one can really describes the power of pulsating sonic waves with the written word. The music of Growing, and any of their like-minded associates, is something you need to experience to understand. You need to place the headphones on your head to really get why these guys are so loved by their fans. You need to blast your stereo to dangerous new heights to grasp why people follow this band the way they do. And while Color Wheel might not be your prototypical Growing album, it might just be the record to push the genre forward. In the past, Kevin Doria and Joe DeNardo have mainly relied on sonic swells to engulf the listener into submission. But on their fourth full-length release, the two have pushed their own boundaries to create something that bridges gaps between the trance world and the NYC experimental scene. With beat like loops showing up on the opener ("Fancy Period"), and with the playful tones bouncing around on "Cumulusless", it's as if they made a conscious decision to push things forward. Instead of being complacent and treading water in the same place, the guys have stopped doing the dead mans float and started swimming towards the horizon. The fuzzed out bliss of past efforts is still present in songs like the Fennesz-esc "Green Pasture", but the overall tone is one of (pardon the pun) growth. It's two guys reaching beyond their comfort zone, beyond the sound that has garnered them their fan base and critical praise, to do something fresh and new. Sure, for the most part it's still just ambient drone, but this time it has an added sense of warmth and depth their past efforts didn't have. It will still be common place to see people enjoying a Growing show laying flat on their back, don't think that this will somehow change their public persona. But the subtle changes they have made will be later looked upon as genre defining and influential to many artists to come. So put on the headphones and blow your ears out, you only live once anyway. - Jake Haselman, indieworkshop.com

12/24/2005	Growing	His Return	LP	$12.99	Troubleman Unlimited	"The latest from Earth-shattering drone lords JOE DENARDO and KEVIN DORIA.

LP packaged in embossed gatefold sleeves in an edition of 750 copies."
9/30/2005	Growing / Mark Evan Burden	split	CD	$7.99	Zum	"Growing are well-known to experimental music audiences for their two albums on the venerable Kranky imprint (and forthcoming material on Animal Disguise). The duo of Kevin Doria and Joe Denardo have toured Europe and Australia and played at All Tomorrow's Parties UK. Their particular amalgam of doom metal, drone, and ambient music has been compared to the minimalist works of Birchville Cat Motel, La Monte Young, Sunn0))), and Brian Eno. This recording, "Firmament", is from a 2002 session. Mark Evan Burden's solo recording is a beautiful composition of electronics and piano. His 15 minute piece is a roiling, percussive powerhouse that conjures up John Cage, Keith Jarrett, and the player piano compositions of Conlon Nancarrow. The Portland, OR-based musician was formerly the organist for Get Hustle (31G) and drummer for Glass Candy and the Shattered Theater. He released an album under the moniker Silentist, an exploration of the heavier side of his compositional interests."

Forsaking the glacially meditative m.o. of Apertura, the duo delivers a shower of digitally recomposed slivers of contact-mic-equipped saxophone, chiming guitars and synthesizer. Includes guest appearances from turntablist Henry Moore Selder. The first track features an amazing rendition of balloon animals blown-up real fast, the rest only gets better." - Revolver

9/10/2011	Gruppo NPS	Nuove Proposte Sonore 1965-1972	LP	$29.99	Die Schachtel)	"The NPS -- Nuove Proposte Sonore (trans. "New Sound Proposals") group was founded in Padua (Italy) in 1964 by the composer Teresa Rampazzi, together with the visual artist Ennio Chiggio. Working with analogical devices, they produced some of the most compelling electronic music of the period, and they soon became one of the most reputed electronic music centers in Italy, together with the S 2 FM by Pietro Grossi in Florence and the SMET by Enore Zaffiri in Turin. With the departure of Chiggio, the years 1969-1970 transformed it into a female-only collective (Teresa Rampazzi, Serenella Marega and Patrizia Gracis). The two periods were characterized by different instrumentation, and it is surprising how they were able to achieve great results with some simple means -- at least in the beginning. In the first period, they used a couple of two-track tape recorders (Sony 777 and Sony 521), an EICO low-frequency generator, a radio station to produce long wavelength frequencies, a mixer, an oscillator, a Revox, and a self-built loudspeaker. They had to use the stairwell as an echo chamber. In the second one, when the studio was more established, they had six manually-controlled oscillators as well as six modulated ones, a white noise generator, an octave-band filter and a variable one, an amplitude modulator, a noteswitch, a reverb, a 10-channel mixer, a unit for audio signal routing, four tape recorders, a stereo sound system and a frequency meter (during the last years they also bought a 2500 ARP synthesizer). This deluxe edition presents the group's compositions for the first time ever. The LP comes in a silver-foil design, including a booklet in Italian and English in an edition of 300 copies." - FE
11/15/2008	Gryn Brvs / Siblings of Plasma	split	cassette	$8.99	Digitalis Limited	"This one comes from the UK with all sorts of dangling gold and buckets of skronk. fresh off their chocolate monk CDR, gryn brvs continue to be at odds with themselves, creating a cacaphonous sprawl that totally works, even though it seems like it shouldn't. harshly picked acoustic guitars rattle on above waves of ramshackle, junkyard percussion. it's like the percussion is trying to destroy the melody laid down by the guitars. it's fucken great. this sidelong meltdown squirms along for days, lulling you into a state of total abandon. siblings of plasma share members and membranes with gryn brvs, but their modus is down a different rabbit hole. walls of cello squalor mourning the end of days, wailing like the death knell of god only knows. these tracks are bathed in organic, hypnotic ruin. once s.o.p. gets their claws in, you are done. 75 copies w/ spraypainted wrap around sleeves."
8/22/2008	Guapo	Black Oni	LP	$37.99	Hlava	"Here at last, Guapo´s "Black Oni" on handnumbered limited edition 180g white vinyl. Originally released on CD by Mike Patton´s Ipecac Records in 2005, this record is the second in a recondite trilogy which began with "Five Suns" and will be concluded by the release of "Elixirs" on Neurot Recordings in February 2008. Here´s what was said about Black Oni first time round: With this, their sixth album, Guapo have conjured a harrowingly complex and unflinchingly epic piece of work. Heady and hypnotic, driving and relentless, tumultuous and visceral, sonic and serene, the odyssey that is Black Oni encompasses many paradoxes in its massively dynamic scope. Picking up where they left off from their previous Cuneiform Records release Five Suns (2002), the band continue to expand on their palette of dexterous chamber-rock anomalies, modal transcendence, and apocalyptic death marches, and like it's predecessor, Black Oni is one singular piece of music, making it the second record in a trilogy of large-scale symphonic forms. Incorporating elements of prog, avant-garde jazz, kraut-rock, minimalism and a range of folk mediums from Britain to Indonesia, Guapo take their que from a disparate array of influences including Magma, King Crimson, Boredoms, Goblin, Sun Ra, Charlemagne Palestine, Univers Zero, This Heat, Olivier Messiaen and Popol Vuh. The assembly of Dave Smith's explosive drum assaults, Matt Thompson's brazen and prowling bass throb, and Daniel O'Sullivan's ethereal keyboard reveries telepathically collide in an augury of rich and cinematic musical ceremony. Black Oni is Guapo's most monumentally unreserved offering to date. Limited to 500 copies!" Only a few available - out of print.

11/8/2003	Guignol	Angela, David and the Neopolitan Road Issue	CD	$12.99	Cenotaph Audio	"Guignol is a project comprised of Jeremy Barnes, Laurence Coleman and Aaron Moore. These three members form the core of the group, and are assisted by guests Nick Mott (also of Volcano the Bear) and Korena Pang. The lone American in the group, Barnes may be most famous for his participation in Neutral Milk Hotel, but his work in Guignol bears a closer resemblance to his more recent projects, Bablicon and A Hawk and a Hacksaw. These are quite definitely 'songs,' sounding distinctly British and rather intimate, though this intimacy is offset by an outsider aesthetic. Found sounds, scraped percussion, clattery improv and a gentle humour colour these songs. The music conjures images of not only the French countryside where it was recorded, but the mysteries of motion and distance."

7/16/2009	Gus, Larry	Iasmos	CDR	$12.99	Oko Records	"We were scratching our heads of what the hell to set up for orion's 2nd birthday... almost no idea was coming 'till accidentally chris carras dropped the name of 'larry gus' . he was doing back then his military service in xanthi and was already a name in the greek electronica scene. without 2nd thoughts we asked him for a live set at the party and mix his sounds with children's and our sounds. without hesitation agreed. did a lovely set but an evil eye managed to erase almost all of the recordings from our machines but an hour's field recording set done via another machine. the 3rd birthday was near too, any kind of magic we performed couldn't restore the erased digital files so larry spent less than 24 hours locked in his studio working on new material and using part of that field recording document of the party. the result is an 18 track cdr of fresh, joyous sounds where larry's ideas & tracks and field recordings extracts are mixed in a blend of a gorgeous electronica! taste it!" "Somewhere in the more remote area of Xanthi there is family who treat their two children with unusual birthday gifts, usually specially played recorded CDs. One Larry Gus played some music for the second birthday of Orion (who I saw being baptized, but that's another story), which seems partly based on field recordings of a children's party and, for a larger part, on electronic keyboards, loop devices and a bit of vocals. Eighteen short pieces here of highly improvised music - there is a story about the original master being and it had to be restored or recreated in a short time span, but it sounds quite nice altogether. Childlike, obviously I'd say, intimate and also at times joyous. At thirty two minutes also having the right length for such a thing." - FdW, Vital Weekly

6/18/2002	Gysin, Brion	Bruits du Beaubourg	LP	$39.99	Alga Marghen	"A previously unpublished and obscure sound work by the famous artist Brion Gysin... 'Bruits du Beaubourg' or, quite literally, the concrete noises coming from the builder's yard of the Beaubourg recorded on location in June 1977. Different layers of sounds that, with the natural development of the piece, create an hypnotic soundscape. Abstract and concrete. The recording comes from the original masters that Ramuntcho Matta personally got as a gift from Gysin himself; and Matta generously offered them to Alga Marghen. After listening to the pure quality of this peculiar work it was decided to issue it in a LP edition limited to 350 copies, available now for the first time." Comes in a full color jacket with artwork by Gysin.
