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)."
4/10/2005	G55	1	CDR	$10.99	Kindling	"New boy band featuring three renegade Lost Domain pin ups. A healthy brew of kraut beats and no wave primitivism mixed with a dash of “I can play louder” hijinks. 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."

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."

Songs are Brighton Beach, Piece for Peace in the Middle East, Sixties, Four Dances for Balinese Angklung, Kebyar Leyak, Slendro Clarinet, Mostly Slendro Passacaglia.

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.

11/9/2004	Gang Gang Dance	Gang Gang Dance	CD	$12.99	Fusetron	"Gang Gang Dance are a group composed of well-known entities (in and around NYC in particular) but have left a sporadic, almost shadowy, impression upon people nonetheless. The opening female vocal ululations soon enough refract electronically, and the summoned whalesong dimension spires into an urgent metempsychotic groove. Coming as they do from different angles, its safe to assume there is humanity to the postproduction approach on here. Indeed the first side in its totality achieves a narrative facility which, when sized up against the nature of its parts, could remind one of a more quietly-alloyed Chrome. It does not end there, in fact there is something of a sense of unfinished business, and the second side strikes off with a snapping dream of desert suspense. Mechanic industry rises up here too though, marking yet another salient entre into the crafted spuriousness GGD seek to espouse. An open drone fills for much of the half, accumulating a lyric denouement that possesses overtures toward melody and texture but less toward propulsive mien."
4/10/2005	Gang Gang Dance	God's Money	CD	$12.99	Social Registry	"Gang Gang Dance's second full length release entitled God's Money. Recorded over the course of a year at Junkyard Audio Salvage the band utilized whatever means were available to them: drums of all shapes, sizes and circuits, various keyboards and synthesizers, midi-triggering guitar scenarios, vocals reconfigured via guitar effect pedal and even the occasional aluminum chair."
10/25/2008	Gang Gang Dance	Saint Dymphna	LP	$12.99	The Social Registry	"Gang Gang Dance continue to push the musical envelope with "Saint Dymphna", the first proper studio recorded follow up to the bands 2005 critically acclaimed break through album "God's Money". Tempering the finer elements of Pop, Dance, Ambient and Experimental music; "Saint Dymphna" is both the bands most challenging and forward thinking release to date."
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)

Side A opens with three new enchanting songs from Matthew Mondanile's Ducktails, Argentina's Vluba provide smoke and sulphur to the same side. Gang Wizard's piece is called 'the Shed' and it's pure claustrophobia melted on a tape, while Golden Cup and Pumice's contribution is a romantic piece recorded live in Rome, and mixed in their private houses in Italy and New Zealand throughout summer 2008. 4 bands, 3 continents, 2 sides, 1 spirit! 100 copies. Each copy is different. Numbered."
5/11/2009	Ganglians	Ganglians	LP	$14.99	Woodsist	"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." Recommeded! Each lp jacket has a bumped, dented corner courtesy of UPS.
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

	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
2/13/2003	Gastr del Sol / Tony Conrad	The Japanese Room at La Pagode / May	7"	$19.99	Table of the Elements	"This split Gastr del Sol/Tony Conrad record was originally released in 1995. The Gastr side features one of their earliest efforts at intensive multi-track recording; instrumental passages segue through the faint murmur of a thousand voices. Conrad's contribution is excerpted from an unreleased version of Early Minimalism: May 1965, recorded at Steve Albini's studio with Jim O'Rourke and Bob Weston (Shellac). The packaging is, arguably, the most lavish of any Table of the Elements release: the sleeve unfurls into a 21" x 29" poster, displaying texts by the artists in metallic plum and copper inks."
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."
10/25/2008	Geerken, Harmut	Amanita	Double LP	$36.99	QBICO	"Practically impossible to make it brief here, HGeerken: author, composer, musician, film-maker, performer, actor, mycologist, archivist, stager of exhibitions, publisher of numerous authors from the circle of literary expressionism and dada, lumberjack, bumble-bee-keeper. during his six-year stay in Egypt in the 60's he is co-founder (together with Salah Ragab and Edu Vizvari) of the Cairo Jazz Band as well as founder and head of the Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble. played in various music groups: Embryo, trio with John Tchicai and Don Moye (extensive tour of Africa) and also with the Art Ensemble of Chicago. he worked with Sunny Murray, Don Cherry, Okay Termiz, Peter Kowald, Takehisa Kosugi, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Michael Ranta, ect... today Geerken possesses one of the most comprehensive Sun Ra archives (waitawhile sun ra archives). his book omniverse sun ra (1994) ,which contains a first all-embracing discography of the musician, has meanwhile grown to be a priceless cult book. together with James Wolf from the library of congress in Washington DC , he's editor of the recently published collected poems and philosophical works of Sun Ra (the immeasurable equation 2005). better to read his bio to know more. This is Geerken 1st ever solo release (a major event indeed !) and it was recorded under the influence of magic mushrooms (dried amanita muscaria). one of the instruments played here is Sun Ra's Sun harp (a Bulgarian bandura), which Sun Ra gave him in 1971 in Egypt, were Hartmut invited the Arkestra to play... they got no money to fly back to the States, so Hartmut kindly borrow them some bread for the trip back... in exchange Sun Ra gave him his Sun harp (which you'd hear on several Saturn LP and which was one of the few instruments that Sun Ra played besides keyboards) saying i'll buy it back from you one day... which evidently never happened. the other string instrument played here is a Swarmandal, which was given to him in 1976 in New Delhi by the renowed Dhrupad singers: the Dagar brothers. probably the wildest qbico ever, alien sounds!" 2LP with folder cover in heavy outer plastic sleeve, black vinyl & gold vinyl (180gr), cover by qbico.

8/2/2008	Geerken, Harmut	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.

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.

	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.
1/27/2004	Ghost	Hypnotic Underworld	CD	$13.99	Drag City	"For the first time in many moons, the tribes of Earth have real call to celebrate - the return of Ghost. 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."
3/20/2007	Ghost	In Stormy Nights	DBL LP	$16.99	Drag City	"Over the hour's-worth of music and sound that makes In Stormy Nights, Ghost apply their folk sounds, improvisations and avant-garde constructions to a savage evocation. In the world we live in today, we can only imagine what this means. And we agree. Throughout In Stormy Nights there are a variety of sounds and songs, ranging from pop-folk numbers to hard rock to outré concepts held together by Ghost's diverse musical personality. The essence of Ghost is the epic 'Hemicyclic Anthelion.' Nearly thirty minutes of free improvisation from several live shows are strung together into a seamless progression. This piece is a cornerstone of In Stormy Nights and a representation of the original approach of Ghost - pure improvisation. Ghost are forever looking for themselves in the music they make. To make ordinary beauty is easy, but Ghost are listening beyond that. Even the acid-folky songs are based in improvisation. Over the years, Ghost have never had the same lineup twice on any of their album sessions - until now. The In Stormy Nights Ghost is the same Ghost that recorded Hypnotic Underworld and the same group that thundered across the U.S. in 2004. They display intense power on these new recordings, incorporating frame drums and tympanis and the 'springer' (a device made by Batoh that contains metal springs, a resonance box, plasma ball (light) and rotating machine to create a heavy yet Theremin-like sound) into their already-diverse orchestra. The center of the album is a series of tympani-driven songs that rock with a fury, mirroring the martial mood of our governments - a mood that musicians and artists may not share in beyond reflecting it. This powerful section concludes with an absolutely blasting cover of Cromagnon's 'Caledonia' - a favorite band of Ghost's that they are delighted to share with listeners in this fashion." Double LP version housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket.
	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."

Just when you think its time to start head-banging, it's over. So, you hit play again and wait for that urge to surge, let it wash over you. Whole brains can be lost in this record.

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.

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."

Side A on this LP is a live realization of this piece recorded at the Compound in San Francisco in 2006 (mastered by Lasse Marhaug). Carlos composed and performed this piece live on several tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan all throughout 2006 and 2007, if you saw him live in those two years, this is the piece he performed. This was the most complete version of it that made it to tape. Side B is a studio piece recorded live on a much larger modular synth, based around the same theme, but with structural and tonal variations not in the original composition. This is pure psychedelic electronic music. Cover illustration by Megan Ellis. Screenprinted at Monoroid." Limited edition of 300 copies in a heavy stock screen-printed jacket.
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"

"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."

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."

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."

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.

The first side, "Wanderjahr" is particularly different than most of my live sets. Recorded using a synth and a record player rather than reverberated guitar. Art by John Elliot."
1/24/2009	Goldberg, Sam	Out of Body Experiences	cassette	$8.99	Pizza Night	"A second run of my first self released tape. two sides of small casio keyboard pieces..one side minimal patterns and repetition, the other a dense side of heavily reverberated drone recorded in a "real" studio... some guitar at the end.." - Sam Goldberg.

1/24/2009	Goldberg, Sam / Color Dream	Cultivating a Sound Garden	cassette	$8.99	Pizza Night	"Color Dream creates a lush blanket of gentle and peristent quivering radiance which represents to me some of the best sounds coming out of these kewl comrads. 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

10/25/2008	Golden Dawn	Power Plant	LP	$13.99	International Artists	"One of the most powerful Int'l Artists albums, released in 1968. Some will go so far as to say that this album defines the Texas third-mind psych revolution, even more so than Easter Everywhere. The combinations of Eastern-tinged philosophical lingering, staggering hallucinogenics and pure Texan dirt produced a legitimate monster of its time." Exact repro vinyl edition.

Atmospheres for the end of the earthly." Edition of 280 copies with handmade collage artwork by Troglosound.
2/21/2009	Golden Oaks, The	Autumn Testament	CD	$12.99	A Silent Place	"Comprised of Brad Rose (The North Sea) and Keith Wood (Hush Arbors), The Golden Oaks features road show magicians springing forth candles from wooded sanctuaries. 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."
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."
1/24/2009	Goldstein, Malcolm	Early Electronic/Tape Collage Music	LP	$25.99	Alga Marghen	"Alga Marghen proudly presents an LP edition including some of the seminal electronic/tape collage pieces by Malcolm Goldstein, created in close connection to the sulphuric New York pre-Fluxus environment of the early 1960s. The 1960s downtown New York City, rich with activities, doors opening upon a world fertile with possibilities: the delightful unknown. Malcolm Goldstein first worked at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, then joined the Judson Dance Theater with dancers, musicians, poets, and visual artists all interacting in the common ground of improvisation/exploration. Most of the music on this recording was created for the Judson Dance Theater, 'Sheep Meadow' (1966), a collage of two musics, folk & court music, was realized on a very cheap single tape recorder that offered its own electronic distortion embellishments. It was created for an anti-war demonstration to be held in that meadow of Central Park, with a dancer on top of a flat-bed truck and with loudspeakers. 'Images Of Cheng Hsieh' (1967) was for a dance by Carol Marcy at Judson Church, simultaneously with an instrumental ensemble performing from the calligraphic graphic score, with the name of Cheng Hsieh. 'It Seemed To Me' (1963) was composed for a dance by Arlene Rothlein; a collage of traditional musics chosen by her to be incorporated with electronic sounds. 'Judson #6 Piece' (1963) was for Ruth Emerson, using only electronic sounds. Finally 'Illuminations From Fantastic Gardens' (1964), the only composition for a vocal ensemble on this recording, was composed for Elaine Summers' 'An Evening of Fantastic Gardens,' a multi-media event of dance, music, film and visual projections, as part of the Judson Dance Theater concerts. It is the first music notated by Malcolm Goldstein with graphic renditions of the words of Rimbaud and without traditional music notation. Two performers were trained singers, while the others were a visual artist and an actor; two women & two men, all in the spirit of the times, sources coming together, as exploration. Edition limited to 350 copies, also including a 12-page large booklet with the reproduction of the complete 'Illuminations From Fantastic Gardens' graphic score."

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
3/5/2003	Gong	Magick Brother	LP	$16.99	Get Back / BYG	"This is where it all began. Before Camembert Electrique, there was Magick Brother, originally released on the French BYG label in 1970. Here Daevid Allen and his wife Gilli Smyth (who wrote most of the material on the album) are still finding themselves on the straighter, more pop-oriented side of psychedelia. 12 tracks including the 'Gong Song' where Allen first introduces his pothead pixies. Original artwork. Gatefold sleeve. 180 gram vinyl."
8/13/2004	Gonzalez, Wally	On The Road / Tunog Pinoy	DBL LP	$59.99	Shadoks	"For the first time both rare LP's reissued as a double album. 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. These days Wally is still on the road playing clubs in the Philippines."

Based in Nottingham, the duo has been performing everywhere lately, from late-night improv blowouts in the Midlands to North America (where they are embarking on a lengthy tour this summer). Instrumentally focused around Jones' guitar and Farmer's percussion, Full of Beans explores space both acoustic and physical, moving from quietly bowed ringing tones to spastic, clattering explosions."
11/15/2008	Good Band	Good Band	cassette	$8.99	Lal Lal Lal	"Good Band was founded in 2005 by Aapo Rapi (8 Bits High, Verticals, Sunnuntaiorkesteri) and Benjamin Bergman (Vectors, The Torsors). The result is strongly good wibes party band: lots of funny minimal synths and some junk yard instruments. This tape compiles the best tracks of a huge mountain of tapes they have recorded during the past thousand nights, and it's all you need for a Good Party."
12/25/2005	Good Good, The	A Fer Era	LP	$12.99	Harlan	"17 songs of loud, jubilant theatre punk from these three fine Brooklyn folks. feels like late 80's sonic youth, the slits, tom tom club, and deerhoof in similar spaces. folks were also in Boomfancy, Cobra Kai, and Cha Cha Cha."
2/12/2008	Gore Orphanage	Two Day Songs	CDR	$8.99		"Gore Orphanage is Kris D' Agostino, synth player from Brooklyn based psych prog outfit Titan. All sounds on Two Day Songs were created by Kris using a variety of instruments and recorded onto his laptop in a tiny Greenpoint space over the course of 2005-2007. Dark synth drones."
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."
	Goucher, Charles	Pint Sized Spartacus	CD	$12.99	Gravelvoice	"This is the Charles Gocher (Sun City Girls) solo project with the help of Elaine DiFalco, Terry Nelson, Mike Bisio, Eyvind Kang, Michael and Cynda. 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."
12/24/2005	Gown	Early Works	CDR	$8.99		Solo recordings from Andrew Macgregor (Amarillo Stars) who also performs with Christina Carter these days. Limited.
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."
8/2/2008	Gown	On the River	CDR	$8.99	House of Alchemy	"Gown is Gown is Gown. We love it. 3 tracks of earthquake balladeering. Packaged in a double sided 11x17 3-color poster folded to hold the Gown sounds in mothering fashion. Darryl Norsen has created something both lush and arresting in his art for this release, ideal and deserving housing for this magisterial music. The guitar doesn't weep, it sobs." Edition of 130.
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.
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
12/24/2005	Grass Magic, The	The Grass Magic	cassette	$6.99	Skullfucking Tapes	"This is mystery school freak folk orchestra involving elements of the Skaters, Davenport, the Mudslide Family, Jewelled Antler Collective, and Craig Microcassette System. Recorded in ancient barn temple site and around campfires in the pastures of Wisconsin."
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/

On their debut album titled "Cutlery HIts China: English for the Hearing Impaired" they use DVD subtitles of horror / thriller / crime / drama films as lyrics, molesting and dragging them down a boiling hot lava of a stoner-rock dirge, in order to create new aesthetics of doomed, heavy and hectic music. And it's beautiful one hour earlier." Check this out if you're into Hey Colossus, Corrupted, Boris, Gravitar, Darkthrone and Electric Wizard.

Strange slombo, impossible to tell any instruments, could be just a recorded meeting with rusty fans and sharp cutlery clanging around under black waters. 4 tracks. Lonely sounds pitched in the forgotten corners of your memory. In a clear dvd case with whacked color cover."
8/4/2007	Graveyards	Harmm's Way	CDR	$11.99	The Lotus Sound	"This '07 recording represents the darkest smolders of Feldman meetsThreadgill meets cacophonic church bells performed in a manufacturing plant in the Graveyards catalog. 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.

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."

It was the first cdr release from Finland's Grey Park. "Probably the most diverse GP release. They start with two naivistic no wave jogs featuring some pretty blithe female vocals, and then rush into the magical heavens of electro beats and cuts, and onwards to a track that could've been in Aavikko's first vinyl ep.

"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

HAUNTED CASTLE are a suburban Detroit duo of tortured basement clatter and poltergeist attack thrash, and their song here is a cauldron of psychic evil and wraith frenzy.

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.

Side "A" includes studies for the full piece and the full recording of "Never Mind..." while side B contains "Studies for a New Trio."

Group Inerane is the now sound of the Tuareg Guitar Revolution sweeping across the Sahara Desert and inspired by the rebel musicians that started this music as a political weapon used to communicate from the Libyan Refugee camps in the 1980s and 1990s. Spearheaded by the enigmatic guitar hero Bibi Ahmed, Group Inerane has been together for several years and carries the rich tradition of Tamachek guitar songs for another generation."
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."
7/16/2006	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

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."
7/16/2004	Grubbs, David	A Guess At The Riddle	LP	$15.99	Fat Cat	"The second duo recording from Swedish reed player Mats Gustafsson and American David Grubbs, and the follow-up to their 1999 Apertura release. 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
2/9/2002	Grubbs, David	Act Five, Scene One	CD	$14.99	Blue Chopsticks	"An hour-long instrumental piece from the trio of David Grubbs, Tony Conrad, and Dan Brown. Divided into four psychedelically digestible fifteen-minute slices, Act Five, Scene One is an electrified universe of repeat-mode rock'n'roll groove, perfect for zoning out, long solitary drives, and God only knows."
9/17/2006	Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza	Azioni	DBL CD + DVD	$55.99	Die Schachtel	"Il Gruppo was a brilliant and prolific composer's collective exploring extended techniques and new sound sources through the medium of improvisation. Although very much a product of its time, their music remains timeless. They were instrumental in founding a radical tradition of western musical improvisation that owed little or nothing to anybody and created some of the strangest music ever made. They were utterly unique." - John Zorn liner notes, NYC 2006. "This deluxe boxed edition presents some of the most compelling improvisations of this extraordinary improv group active in the 60s and featuring such names as Ennio Morricone, Ivan Vandor, Roland Kayn, Franco Evangelisti, Walter Branchi, Mario Bertoncini and John Heineman. Spanning from free-jazz to total abstract noise and wild electronic sounds, these pieces were recorded between 1967 and 1969 are released here for the first time. The enclosed video DVD, shot in a stunning black and white, is a unique document that captures the rehearsal of the thrilling concert that the group gave in Rome in 1967. It features both english and Italian subtitles. The cloth-covered box contains three individual digipak, a 72-pages italian-english booklet and a poster. Mastering by Giuseppe Ielasi."

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.
2/21/2009	Guerra, Anthony & Mark Sadgrove	Iron Sand	CD	$10.99	Black Petal	"On a real CD comes the duo of Mark Sadgrove with Anthony Guerra, who plays electric and acoustic guitar, electronics and vocals and Sadgrove playing electric guitar, aluminium harp, electronics and vocals. Here more care has been used to make the recordings. Recorded in their new homeland Japan, this is the point where improvised music meets singer songwriting. This is 'easy' music, music that makes your mind wander off, into the grey sky, into the desert, or into the deep sea. Blues like emptiness, very empty. Drone like strumming, slide guitar setting the tone. Vocals don't take a big place around here and are more to underline the desolate character of the music. A fine release of sparse sounds. Minimal indeed. Great cover on this release, as usual with Black Petal." - FdW, Vital Weekly

Definetely guest star... and maybe little too scary for many. But it's here... just visiting. Would you like to now serve him a cup of tea?"
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."
5/10/2004	Guru & Zero	Makoto Mango	CD	$17.99	Swordfish	"This is the long awaited collaboration between Daevid Allen from Gong and Kawabata Makoto from Acid Mothers Temple.

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.
