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."
2/26/2006	G55	2	CDR	$10.99	Kindling	"Northgate's favourite sons return with casiotone beats propelling saxophone/gtr duals. Features bar mitzvah tunes, an ecstatic blow-out, two-note pile-drivers and the dancefloor hit '2.6'"

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."
3/3/2004	Gamelan Son of Lion	New Gamelan / New York	CD	$12.99	Gamelan Son of Lion	"Strange vibes this way comes! Privately issued cd of strangely beautiful contemporary tunes cut for Gamelan instruments by this legendary out ensemble. Songs are Brighton Beach, Piece for Peace in the Middle East, Sixties, Four Dances for Balinese Angklung, Kebyar Leyak, Slendro Clarinet, Mostly Slendro Passacaglia. Chants and snaky melodies make this disc as mystifying as their two Folkways discs but with an occasional swinging feeling reminiscent of late Moondog sides." Released in 1995.
3/3/2004	Gamelan Son of Lion, The	Bending the Gending	CD	$12.99	Gamelan Son of Lion	"Wiggy stuff by the Gamelan Son of Lion crew. Featuring 11 compositions by as many performers. You’ll be as inclined to think of Bat Chain Puller era Beefheart and the strange world of Harry Partch as you would the traditional rhythmic strokes of the Indonesian Gamelan." Released in 2002.
3/27/2004	Gandalf	Gandalf	LP	$14.99	Radioactive	“With spellbinding, atmospheric songs which spin from soft dreamscapes into blistering fuzz guitar breaks, Gandalf casts a powerful spell. Led by singer/guitarist Peter Sando, the group was signed by Lovin' Spoonful producers Charlie Koppelman and Don Rubin and conjured their sole, self-titled album for Capitol in late 1967. One of the rarest major label psychedelic releases, Gandalf features swirls of Hammond B3 organ, caressing vibraphone runs and electric sitar on Sando's originals as well as imaginative recastings of songs by Tim Hardin, Gary Bonner/Alan Gordon, and Eden Ahbez.” Now available a stunning picture disc, limited edition of 500 copies.”
11/9/2004	Gandalf	Gandalf	LP	$15.99	Capitol	“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)

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

2/12/2008	Gas Shepherds	Gas Shepherds	cassette	$8.99	Bread and Animals	"English autodidacts and 'musique concrète' sources Gas Shepherds. Two Birmingham druids that speak their language with an odd dialect. the usual "disability" remark is not that far away, when checking in on this universe of the Gas. these nutters communicate strange bubbles and sweaty fidelics in wheelchairs. recently used as an alternative soundtrack for multi-media vision Arcade. this bag of hash mysteries is about to send your life in new directions....-- factory dubbed tapes. full color artwork."
9/17/2006	Gas Shepherds	Gas Shepherds	CDR	$9.99	Chocolate Monk	"These uk primitives are drooling. Salivating some wild liquids, most probably brought on from licking a finish mushroom, or toad. Bedroom plucking, strange clank and paranoid electricity. Its enough to send you back to the cave, asshole."
	Gastr Del Hemp	Revenge	CD	$8.99	vhf	"Back in 1993 or 1994, I had an idea for a new supergroup 'The Three Laptops.' Not b/c I thought people actually wanted to see/hear a bunch of guys fiddling around with @*&^!* laptops, but b/c I thought it would be funny - like the then big 'Three Tenors' but with 3 laptops in front of music stands instead of 3 big fat guys. It was stupid then, and seems even stupider now, I know. Anyway, in the interim between then and a lot of people have actually been cranking out records and kicking out the jams in public with laptops. Meanwhile, out of the proposed original lineup for The Three Laptops, only I've got one, and heck, I just got it and it's WINDOWS based, for crying out loud!!! So much for beating anyone to market with that idea....So it was left to the VHF A&R staff to find someone worthy or our grand idea, even if it's so dated by this point that maybe we should just forget it and get started on 'The Three PDA's.' Mahavishnu Arthur Crawshay (Laptop), Earl Kuck (Laptop), and El Bobo Del'Amour (Laptop) probably don't consider themselves an influence on today's big laptop scene anymore than they consider themselves the front office staff for the Sacramento Kings - if you follow me - but for a moment in time dear readers, they were truly giants. You can clearly hear the very nuanced evidence on this sole document of their work. Licensed from Laptop Recordings, Chicago. 1 track, 27 mins." vhf
2/26/2006	Gastric Female Reflex	Lovers In The Midst Of Eating Fries	LP	$16.99	Beniffer Editions	"co-released with Absurd, Humbug and Gold Soundz. - intensively assembled between two pieces of thick chipboard - double screened and marbled uniquely with pseudo-op screened innards this is a slab of arbitrary blips, psychedelic vocal coaxings and collage insanity culled from the reflex archive." - Bennifer Editions.
6/10/2004	Gastric Female Reflex	Moments	CDR	$9.99	Gold Soundz	“Gold Soundz proudly presents 2 new works by Canadian psych / noise group Gastric Female Reflex. The music is generally rather low-key with some wonderful bursts of noise...All kinds of weird instruments are being amplified and recorded through different devices, there's a bit of tape manipulation and electroaccoustic clatter and rumble... on the second album even some voice loops... All mashed together and whipped up for your listening pleasure... You get flashbacks of ‘classic’ NZ noise (Surface of the Earth, Sandoz Lab Tech etc...) and perhaps some of that Dylan Nyoukis or American Tapes madness.... Both CDRs come in numbered editions of 50 copies, the actual discs are beautifully handpainted and the covers are individually made.”
12/24/2005	Gate to Gate	I Turn Black Keys	CD	$9.99	Troniks	"Confused like a two-headed snake trying to bite its own non-existant tail, Gate to Gate churn through gross tones, bass shudder and worst of all - vocals - with exactly the maladroit precision you'd expect from such a beast. This release presents one new 38 minute mess of blackened clatter and clunk, as well as collects their two extremely limited cassettes BANE and HOUSE WITH THE CLOCK IN ITS WALLS in remastered form. Heavy-handed and heavy-footed industrial noise by all accounts. from the blackened minds of Greh (Hive Mind, Chondritic Sound) and Mike Connelly (Hair Police, Wolf Eyes, Gods of Tundra). nearly 80 minutes of PURE SLUDGE."
4/11/2008	GazHeart (Rita Ackermann / Dave Nuss)	GazHeart	LP	$18.99	Locust	"With GazHeart, celebrated visual artist Rita Ackermann (voice) & the No Neck Blues Band's Dave Nuss (found percussion) created a playful spontaneous sound that seemingly bridged the gap between the broken pop sounds of certain strains of the no wave movement, sound poetry and catchy, otherworldly art folk using the barest of resources available to them. One time pressing of this special edition one-sided LP features an original etching by visual artist Rita Ackermann on the flip side. GazHeart is housed in a plain jacket with two opposing drawings for front & back by Ackermann."
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. Out of print.
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.

9/30/2008	German	Bunker	CDR	$6.99	Killertree Records	"Some trusta-irie chump sprawls his curry n' cloves apartment scent out in to the alley, jammin' Marley's "Could you be loved" and ready to give "great and good love" to some skinny-minnie broad (yeah, dreads) when the vibe gets reamed by trash can arguements and a scattered transmission (car), hurling down this sweaty purgatory. The doors/windows get locked and the trustas don't emerge for days from fear. Fear from music, man. German (Julian from skull-crushin' The Pope/L.A.) Give some unsettling electronic scabage - kinda like when The Residents were cutting their teeth on homemade sound devices, toss in some undanceable New Wave Hookers styled revelry, pull the plug on vision and fuck off to the rest of the kingdom. Limited to 45 copies."

	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	CD	$14.99	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."
3/29/2005	Ghost	Metamorphosis: Ghost Chronicles 1984-2004	CD & DVD	$19.99	Drag City	"From twenty years of performances, many of them hidden from the public eye, Ghost give you Metamorphosis: Ghost Chronicles 1984-2004 DVD + CD. What you will find in the nearly three hours of footage on the DVD (NTSC, all-region, 150 minutes): improvisations, one-time-only band lineups, unknown band lineups, unknown places, performances in temples, psychedelic costumes, bonfires, freak-outs and trances, the visual analog of a song from Temple Stone, footage from Terrastock, a variety of light shows and a demonstration for the oppressed people of Tibet. Over the course of the twelve performances, a total of thirty different songs are played - with a couple of extras thrown in for good measure."
	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."
11/17/2007	Ghost Moth	Sealand Fortress	CDR	$7.99	House of Alchemy	"A rally cry of twisted horns, mangled junk-tronics and guitar peals through the air. A declaration on intent to march for the freedom of Sealand! Improv titan Daniel Carter blows loud and hard with two mysterious NY noise peddlers and rolls broken marbles down your spine. 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. Stick your lunch in a burlap sack and come join the majesty." Limited to 123 copies, with handmade wax paper 'stained glass' inserts.
3/1/2007	Ghosting	Fox Glove	CDR	$7.99	Foxglove	"The seismic ripplies that ghostings drones are sending through the rose city are taking flight and planting seeds all over the globe. this group of sonic harbingers haunt the cracks and crevices of a world that seemingly only exists deep under water where life is a barely-there flicker amongst the murk. but ghosting's haunted aural landscapes are a beacon, like a lighthouse sunk below miles of the icy ocean, offering a glimmer of warmth in hostile waters. this trio continues its journey through the fuzz and static, and once again emerges with wings unscathed and silver skin." Edition of 100 copies.
2/4/2007	Ghosting	Live / Oakland +	cassette	$6.99	Arbor	"This Portland drone duo manages to create lengthy tracks with a psychedelic precision that makes you forget what time is/was/will be. This tape contains a track from a live show in Oakland with bustling airy drones and the dinging of bells luring the ears to go to places they have not been before. The track progresses thoughtfully with exact subtleties building to a climax only to come tumbling down with that exact progression.

2/26/2006	GHQ	Cosmology of Eye	LP	$22.99	Time-Lag Records	"First proper release from this headspinning acid/drone/raga crew thats been quietly haunting the northeast for a couple years now... for this album the band was marcia bassett (double leopards, hototogisu, zaimph, un, etc.) steve gunn, and pete nolan (magik markers, vanishing voice, etc.)... heavily dosed trips into eastcoast trance primitivism, gushing with mantric meshes of strings and voice. centered around bassett & gunn's acoustic guitar freeflow, and wrapped up in layers of hovering vocal mist, buzzing drones, percussive clatter, and nolan's subtle but massively psychedelic electric guitar moves. over five extended tracks things slide along from bone rattling minimal vibrations, dip into opiated folk beauty, and then blow things wide open with a full side of fevered, acid soaked raga lift-off... keep that third eye open folks... pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl and packaged in a sweet two color letterpress printed heavy black artboard cover, with a nice 8x10 photo insert shot by tom carter. hand numbered edition of 850 copies."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

8/28/2007	Glory Fckn Sun	Vision Scorched	CD w/ 72 page Book	$17.99	Pseudoarcana	"Formed in 2003 as a conduit for intense ritualistic sonic exploration Glory Fckn Sun is the ecstatic psyche-noise trio of Antony Milton (guitar/electronics), Ben Spiers (guitar/violin/electronic) and improv percussionist Simon O'Rorke (gongs/percussion). 'Vision Scorched' collects together one studio track and two live pieces. These range through long form rumbling distorted deep space explorations (complete with supernova and the odd blackhole), intense yet ethereal harsh noise to close with a droning metaphysical raga-esque paean to the great cosmic inevitable of the collapse of the sun; of light itself. Glory Fckn Sun have been described as having a sound that is like a cross between Flies Inside the Sun and Keiji Haino. Nearly 2 years in the making and continuing in the PseudoArcana tradition of fantastical over-the-top packaging (...) 'Vision Scorched' is presented in a professionally bound 72 page picture book of sun related imagery with hand printed covers.

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	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."

6/1/2002	Gold Sparkle Band	Fugues And Flowers	CD	$12.99	Squealer	“There's a palpable sense of adventure at play over the course of the four magnificent pieces on Fugues and Flowers, recorded at various venues during the band's tour of the Midwest in the late spring of 2000. The southern astro-funk of their previous album Nu*Soul Zodiac gets transmogrified into something deeper and more complex, as new ideas inform the music and allow it to expand outward. The band was always solid and well-rehearsed, but now the rhythm section has that rare intuitive quality, the compositions are complex, yet memorable, and the ensemble playing is exciting. GSB is capable of a driving muscularity, as they demonstrate on the powerful opener ‘Zodiac Attack’, but they are just as comfortable with a gentle, melodic lyricism, as their excellent version of William Parker's ‘Holiday For Flowers’ proves. The band reworks their older material with vigor, and attack the challenging new material with verve. Fugues and Flowers feels like a transitional recording, yet it's a powerful statement in its own right; if there's a transition taking place it's from excellence to transcendence.”
10/26/2004	Gold Sparkle Trio / Ken Vandermark	Brooklyn Cantos	CD	$12.99	Squealer	“With one foot firmly planted in the avant tradition and the other boldly stepping into the future, the Gold Sparkle Band’s newest recording, Brooklyn Cantos, unites them with kindred spirit Ken Vandermark for one of the first important jazz recordings of the new decade. Vandermark and the GSB members share similar sensibilities and influences, and their sympathetic interplay exemplify the heroic conviction present in the heart of the finest jazz recordings. This is the third full length Gold Sparkle release on Squealer, following Nu*Soul Zodiac in 2000 and Fugues and Flowers in 2002. Liner notes are by Bill Meyer.”

7/16/2004	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

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."

"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

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.

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."

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.

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 overtake
