3/26/2006	J. Spaceman	Guitar Loops	CD	$17.99	Treader	"The first solo recording by J Spaceman of Spacemen 3 / Spiritualized fame. A strange and lovely work." Jason on Fender Jaguar & shaker, thru a Fender Super Champ. Studio recording, in one continuous take, June, 2005."
4/20/2008	J. Spaceman / Sun City Girls	Music From a Film by Harmony Korine	CD	$14.99	Drag City	"The all-new soundtrack album from Harmony Korine's film, Mister Lonely, featuring Jason Spaceman (Spacemen 3) and the Sun City Girls. The soundtrack is deceptively minimal-a guitar or piano line that blinks past repetition and blushes into something grander; a motif reappearing under new auspices; link pieces that become spotlight moments, densely worked-out, stars in their own right. Working independently and never collaborating, Jason Spaceman and Sun City Girls employ an instrumental approach for the sounds here, with one or two chanted exceptions. Without knowing what the other was doing, they've each brought half a body to the film, supplying the apparitional and austere sounds of a world in which everyone is something they're not, i.e., the people they dream of being."

2/11/2006	Jackie-O Motherfucker	Flags of the Sacred Harp	CD	$15.99	ATP	"This is the highly-anticipated fifth full-length JOMF release, their first in three years. Jackie-O Motherfucker was formed in 1994 by Tom Greenwood and Nester Bucket layering guitars and sax over hand-cut analog tape loops and collage, collections of found sound, field recordings, cut-up classic rock, hip-hop beats and 4-tracked drones. Assembled and processed, the band rehearsed often in the basement of an abandoned drug store on Mississippi St. in North Portland. The first live performances featured an amplified reel-to-reel tape machine and electric guitar while additions of live percussion, 8-track tapes, alto sax, and a turntable filled out the sound. After a US/European tour in the late summer of 2003 the East Coast configuration of JOMF temporarily dissolved, with members returning to Brooklyn and Montreal. The group re-assembled in Portland and recording sessions began for Flags of the Sacred Harp. Honey Owens returned to working with the group again, having departed after Fig. 5 to work with her other group Nudge. The new configuration also includes guitarist Adam Forkner (Yumi Bitsu, Whiterainbow, Devendra Banhart). Over a year in the making, Flags of the Sacred Harp displays the group's patient and evolved songwriting style with historic references to American blues and hymns. One of the most focused and sublime releases from Jackie-O Motherfucker, the release contains songs that are all manifestations, mutations and re-interpretations of old blues and gospel, specifically from an old hymnal called "The Sacred Harp." Three lush, beautiful vocal arrangements on each side of a 17-minute soaring instrumental making a total of 7 songs unfolding over 70+ minutes. Flags of the Sacred Harp is an epic recording documenting the group's maturing skills in writing, arranging and production and is a timeless de-construction of American music."
9/30/2008	Jackie-O Motherfucker	Freedomland	CD	$18.99	Very Friendly	"This is a collection of live-recorded improvised material by Portland, Oregon's Jackie-O Motherfucker. Compiled by founding member Tom Greenwood, this music captures the sound of a reconfigured Jackie-O during the late summer of 2006, with vocalist Eva Salens (Inca Ore), Tom Greenwood, Danny Sasaki, and Nick Bindeman. Their first stop was at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, where the group were scheduled for their first appearance supporting the Dirty Three. There they would begin -- unrehearsed in this formation, and in front of a large audience. The plans to perform material from their newest release Flags of the Sacred Harp were scrapped, and the band launched into a free-form set of improvised, trance-inducing, punk-inspired, psychedelic rock, which became the framework of the new music they would develop together over the next few years. Freedomland is the document of this trip through America. The record consists of location recordings, captured live, and mastered in the United Kingdom. The songs were created from the spirit of improvisation, and honed by performing nightly in dive bars, music halls, and art galleries across America. Salens' vocal delivery is raw and honest, the words flow from conversations, to streams-of-sub-conscious conjuring, and prayer. Guitars alternately soar into cloud-scapes, and battle like free-jazz saxophones, propelling the group into new terrain nightly, while the percussion of Danny Sasaki alternates between exploratory and dead-solid motoric. The collection was edited by Tom Greenwood, from dozens of live recordings, and captures a rare moment in the band's long and confusing history. As Greenwood himself describes, this is "truly the music of everyday life -- birthed each night in a new form, from musicians who put great faith in each other, under awesome strain at times, to project modern music, with soul."
4/2/2003	Jackie-O Motherfucker	Jackie-O Motherfucker	DBL CDR	$17.99	U-Sound	"The first disc is a epic collage of JOMF's West Coast tour down to All Tomorrow's Parties in March of 2002. Tonal Bliss! Featuring a few tracks that appear on the newest JOMF release ‘Change’. The second disc is a live show from Leeds, UK from JOMF's first European tour for the release of ‘Liberation.’" Highly recommended!
12/24/2005	Jackie-O Motherfucker	Kills + Hollers	CDR	$12.99	U-Sound Records	Live recordings from 2003 / 2004. Handpainted silkscreened covers - nice.
	Jackie-O Motherfucker	Live in Portland and Seattle '00/'01	CDR	$12.99	U-Sound	"Free Spirited 1969 ESP Freak-Out leading us into Vol.04 by JOMF. But actually recorded in the near end of 2000 in Seattle opening an Acid Mother Temple Shiners convention. Vocal mumblings of the godz down to an Albert Ayler yelp! Due Saxes and violin explode/implode across these first 3 tracks. The later 4 tracks recorded Live in PDX in June of 2001 begin warmly building and swarming over the pizzeria where this was recorded. The Sound is intense and deep. Definitely a softer side of JOMF to begin. Then playful and buzzing. The ending slowly triggers into a peaceful dirge with spaced guitars and violin sweeping in and out of consciousness with finally drums dropping in and lead it out." Part 4 of the U-Sound Archive Series.
	Jackie-O Motherfucker	Live in Portland, OR and Vancouver, Canada '00/'01	CDR	$12.99	U-Sound	“Live recordings beginning with a squiggly build up and into a pulsing mass which throws us into some harvester trance then back down to a sweet level throwing us back into the horns, the horns and these run on and on. Sentences/phrases on and on... Do you remember where you began or where you would ever leave off?! Luscious live ballroom sounds from PDX (Portland, OR) the first half when Jackie-O opened for John Fahey's last live performance, then its up to YVR (Vancouver, Canada) at the Ms.T's cabaret for some ecstatic dub if you know what I feel! Dropped out beats and the Ray-O-Graph (see liberation) Then ‘Echo's Of Lunch’ pushes into some sort of American gamelan with beautiful guitar like remains. The last piece ‘The Pigeon’ takes us back to a more horn-based root then crumbles and filters out into the night. Gorgeous!” Part 2 of the U-Sound Archive Series.
	Jackie-O Motherfucker	Live in Portland, OR and Vancouver, Canada '01/'02	CDR	$12.99	U-Sound	“Live sways from Portland, OR starting the disc off. Vibes and harmony rein with ‘Pray,’ moving into frazzled sax/guitar movements in ‘Song for a New Moon.’ Last of the Portland set is ‘Pants On At The Bus Stop’ which swings and rocks like Neil Young in '72?! Maybe I'm just out! The later half of the disc taken from a live show opening for the Sun City Girls in Vancouver Canada wavers in with dream like guitars and saxes sweetly riding over top. Building the total mass into a jerked out Trance. This performance is utterly pleasing, more of a groove on most of these tracks. There are elements of these first 3 JOMF CD-R's that blow over their official Releases. A tad more unyielding and wild! Dig in!” Part 3 of the U-Sound Archive Series.
12/24/2005	Jackie-O Motherfucker	Live Radio	CDR	$12.99	U-Sound Records	Live radio performances from 2002 / 2003 in London, Paris, and WFMU in Hoboken, NJ. Handpainted silkscreened covers.
9/30/2005	Jackie-O-Motherfucker	Liberation	CD	$15.99	ATP	"Reissue of Jackie-O-Motherfucker's 2001 Liberation, originally released on Road Cone. This album was highly acclaimed for its superior production, and marks the band's slow move towards more song-oriented and loosely-composed material. It's a dreamier, organic, more transitional record that proudly displays Jackie-O's emotional sophistication and ever-expansive chops. Multi-intrumentalists Tom Greenwood and Jef Brown and various Jackie-O collective members use vibraphone, fiddle, organ, turntables, sitar and reed to augment and illustrate a variant cacaphony, even dipping into free-jazz territory. Liberation picks up where Fig. 5 left off, except with more lone, anthemic post-rock simultaneously invoking elements of Spaceman 3, Can, Dirty Three, Derek Bailey, the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Amon Düül. Far more hazy than their previous releases, Liberation cemented the band as an ever-revolving cast of collaborators willing to participate in a free-flowing experiment in free-jazz, folk, psych-rock, post-rock, and distorted Americana."
1/15/2005	Jackman, David	Edge of Nothing	10"	$19.99	Die Stadt	"The re-release of yet another classic work by David Jackman. Edge Of Nothing was recorded in 1983 and was originally released on the legendary The Elephant Table Album compilation (also feat. among many others Nurse With Wound whose Steven Stapleton got in touch with Jackman after hearing 'Edge Of Nothing' stating that the track was 'a cherry on a pile of vomit'). Soon afterwards Jackman and Stapleton would work together on several projects - Stapleton released two albums by Organum Submission and the split NWW/Organum A Missing Sense/Rasa LP on his own United Dairies label. Both tracks are new mixes of the original material made in January 2003."
7/30/2003	Jacks, The	Super Session	CD	$21.99	Toshiba / EMI - Japan	"1998 official reissue of the Jacks' 2nd album, originally released in 1968, after Vacant World. Focusing more on the softer, melancholic side of the Jacks, this is a lesser album than Vacant World, but still something that fans would want to hear." - FE
9/29/2005	Jacobs, Henry	The Wide Weird World of Henry Jacobs	CD & DVD	$16.99	Important	"Henry Jacobs is a sound artist and improviser par excellence. His influential recordings as well as collaborative projects resonate with an irreverent sense of humor and a love for musics of the world. >From the early 1950s into the 1970s, Jacobs experimented with tape music, staged the early surround sound and visual spectacle Vortex (with artist Jordan Belson), and developed an array of absurd characters that would pop up as crank callers, relaxation coaches, or upside-down smiling instructors. A contemporary of Ken Nordine and Lenny Bruce, Jacobs honed an individual style that was droll and laid-back but winked at you at the same time. On his recordings for Folkways, World Pacific, and Fantasy, as well as on his private label MEA, the world of Jacobs is an audio collage that embraces many cultures and sensibilities. This CD/DVD collection pays homage to Jacobs' creative play, presenting recovered and restored audio as well as rare animated films that will give you a taste of this man's special talents."
11/4/2006	Jade Emperor	Telegrams for Our Council Oak	CDR	$8.99	Students of Decay	"Jade Emperor is a long distance collaboration between the uber-productive Brad Rose and Hong Kong's Wilson Lee. The sounds on the record are unique to both musician's repertoires, with the folk driven melodies of many of Rose's projects, and the wide-ranging, polyphonic guitar experimentations of Lee's work in Fathmount fusing and contorting in order to create something entirely new. 'Telegrams for our Council Oak' is a reverent album, full of bright, echoing picking and deep, billowing drones that sound like they could have been recorded under the auspices of some ancient clergy from outer space." Edition of 100 copies.
1/20/2002	Jaloppy	Walkin Off Naked	CD	$12.99	Womb Tunes	1999 release from J. Bone Cro, Wes Cummings, David Gardner and others.
12/21/2004	Jan Dukes De Gray	Mice and Rats in the Loft	CD	$13.99	Breathless	"Jan Dukes De Grey - Rare second album by one of the most legendary underground acoustic folk bands to come out of the UK in this era. Although the band released just two LPs, it achieved cult status and is considered responsible for spawning a whole new genre. Recorded for Transatlantic in 1971, Jan Dukes De Grey's second album was (despite the addition of drummer Denis Conlan) much more free-form than the first. While still essentially a folk album, the band's progressive leanings are far more pronounced, dissolving song structure and taking the audience on a wild, semi-improvised journey. Liner notes by David Tibet (Current 93)."
3/21/2007	Jandek	Austin Sunday	DBL CD	$11.99	Corwood Industries	"48th Jandek release, and 5th of 2006! Pictured on front: French doors slightly ajar, revealing a placid, grey sea. This 2CD contains such revealing track titles as "Wine You Devil" and "You Just About Killed Me." Recorded live: Scottish Rite Theatre, Austin, Texas, August 28, 2005." - FE
10/21/2002	Jandek	Follow Your Footsteps	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Reissue of the 13th Jandek album, originally issued by Corwood in 1986. ‘A song like 'For Today', w/its sparsely-plunked notes and melancholically assertive vocals, could almost be an out-take from one of Michael Hurley's classic albums on Racoon... As the soul of individualism is being destroyed by the forces of evil, Jandek's flame is an especially bright beacon in the dark.’" - Byron Coley.
6/26/2002	Jandek	Foreign Keys	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	Reissue of 11th LP from 1985 featuring singing from Nancy.
	Jandek	Glad To Get Away	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	From 1994 - with nice use of echo effects.
7/11/2008	Jandek	Glasgow Friday	CD	$7.99	Corwood Industries	"53nd Jandek release. Pictured on front: a ruined castle on the sea. Recorded live: The Arches, Glasgow, Scotland, October 14, 2005. As with the other Jandek CDs recorded live in Glasgow, this features backing provided by Glaswegians Richard Youngs (bass) and Scatter percussionist Alex Neilson on drums." - FE
3/21/2007	Jandek	Glasgow Monday	DBL CD	$11.99	Corwood Industries	"47th Jandek release, and the 4th of 2006! Features wandering piano strains, and whispered forlorn vocals. Pictured on the front, a stone cottage surrounded by hills. 10 tracks divided into parts, recorded live at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow on May 23, 2005." - FE
7/14/2007	Jandek	Glasgow Sunday	DVD	$18.99	Corwood Industries	"Jandek played his first ever live set at the Instal festival in Glasgow, Scotland on October 17, 2004. He sang and played guitar, joined by Richard Youngs on bass and Alexander Neilson on drums. The performance was not publicized beforehand or even identified as it happened. Many of the people in the room didnt know until later what they had witnessed. You can choose to watch Camera 1, Camera 2, or a 2 camera mix edit."
10/25/2008	Jandek	Glasgow Sunday 2005	CD	$7.99	Corwood Industries	Recorded live at The Arches, Glasgow Scotland on October 16, 2005.
8/21/2003	Jandek	Graven Image	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Jandek is an obscured Texan who has been privately releasing beautiful documents of fractured, internalized song de-con, since the very late 70s. There have been no tours, no interviews, no public appearances but the representation of individualistic creation has never been more perfectly rendered than via the Corwood discography. Utilizing guitars (one at time, both acoustic or electric), voice and percussion, this is music from the ultimate void - vaguely related to genres like folk, blues and avant-garde, but in the end it can only be the sound of Jandek. And there's never been anything else quite like it. There were 22 LPs released by Corwood in the LP era (all reissued on CD now). With Graven Image Corwood moved into the CD era for the first time. Haunting, eternal genius, continued." 1994 release.
11/6/2002	Jandek	I Threw You Away	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"New, return to form album. Cover features controversial photo of a street in Europe(!), rumored to be from Cork City in Ireland, with the St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral church featured in the background. On this album, the Blues turn Black." - FE
	Jandek	I Woke Up	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	1997 release - 26th release overall.
12/15/2001	Jandek	Interstellar Discussion	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Mostly electric. Jandek really cuts loose vocally on 'I Ain't Got None' (he is quite adamant about not having any whatsoever). 'Hey' has two overdubbed {???} vocal tracks (both Jandek, I think) and the title is also the lyrics (like the Butthole Surfers song of the same name - it must be in the air in Texas). The name of the next song after 'Hey' is 'Why Did I Change a Word in the Last Song'. The lyrics of 'Rifle in the Closet' have nothing to do with the title until the very end of the song, which runs, 'The Rifle in the Closet' is just the name of this song.' There is a phone number in this same song: 'The theater's been dripping/ The movie's 3-D/ There's two rides to Texas/ 547-3668/ I hate John...'" Reissue of 9th Jandek LP from 1984.
11/9/2004	Jandek	Jandek on Corwood	DVD	$18.99	Unicorn Stencil	“Documentary/Music, 2003, 89 minutes, Region-free NTSC, 16:9 Color, Stereo. ‘The longest-running, weirdest, loneliest enigma is popular music is a guy from Texas who calls himself Jandek.’ (Douglas Wolk, Providence Phoenix) ‘25 years, 35 albums and not a single live show or public appearance. The documentary film Jandek on Corwood definitively explores the most intriguing mystery in modern music. Featuring revealing interviews, evocative imagery and one of the most bizarre and compelling soundtracks in film history, Jandek on Corwood will challenge the viewer's conception of music, Art and the nature of celebrity. Contains selections from Jandek's albums. Extended audio interviews with Jandek scholars Byron Coley, Irwin Chusid & Phil Milstein. Articles by Katy Vine & Richie Unterberger." - FE
2/26/2006	Jandek	Khartoum Variations	CD	$7.99	Corwood Industries	"44th Jandek album, the 1st in 2006. A riveting, stark cover features a man in black standing in front of a castle. Bent, acoustic guitar grapples with signature fractured howls of later releases. Best song title: 'In A Chair I Stare'." - FE
	Jandek	Later On	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	Reissue of 1981 LP - 3rd Jandek release.
	Jandek	Living In A Moon So Blue	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Another LP of atonal guitar with moaning vocals that reminds me of the delta blues played by a member of the Godz." - Op magazine
7/11/2008	Jandek	Manhattan Tuesday	DVD	$15.99	Corwood Industries	"DVD version. Filmed live at the Anthology Film Archives, Manhattan New York, September 6, 2005. NTSC format, theoretically Region 0. Aspect ratio: 16:9. The music and artwork is the same as the Manhattan Tuesday 2CD, released in 2007. The representative from Corwood plays Korg synthesizers (set to organ-like sounds) and sings; he is accompanied by Loren Connors (electric guitar), Matt Heyner (bass), and Chris Corsano (drums)." - FE
10/21/2002	Jandek	Modern Dances	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Almost a comedy album, and certainly a lot fuller, noisier (than Blue Corpse). Slow and desperately filthy rusty percussive beats, electric guitar played by 2 rats fighting, making up, and fucking on the fretboard, noisy fuzzyhowl male vocals joined by that anonymous femme and yet another he-throat in places…" Reissue of the 14th Jandek album, originally issued by Corwood in 1987.
	Jandek	New Town	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	1998 release - 27th release overall.
2/28/2006	Jandek	Newcastle Sunday	DBL CD	$11.99	Corwood Industries	"45th Jandek release, and the 2nd of 2006! This is a 1.5 hour live performance recorded at The Sage Gateshead England, May 22, 2005. First ever Corwood double CD, as well!" - FE
7/14/2007	Jandek	Newcastle Sunday	DVD	$18.99	Corwood Industries	"Jandek played his second and third live shows ever in the U.K. in May 2005. Unlike his first show in 2004, these were publicized in advance, though it wasnt announced whether the performances would be solo, trio again, or what. The first show (documented on this DVD) was at the Music Lovers Field Companion festival at The Sage Gateshead on Sunday, May 22 2005. (Gateshead is in the far north of England, across the River Tyne from Newcastle.) Jandek played electric guitar and sang. He was accompanied by Richard Youngs on electric bass and Alex Neilson on drum kit. You can choose to watch Camera 1 or Camera 2; there is no 2 camera mix edit this time."
12/15/2001	Jandek	Nine-Thirty	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	Reissue of 10th LP from 1985. Richie Unterberger says "...with that trademark out-of-tune guitar that owes equal debts to Texas blues and the background music you hear in a lot of Asian restaurants... his phrasing is better than ever... I also dug the lyrical swipes from Jimmy Reed's 'Honest I Do' in 'Faye'... Even us fans concede that the same out-of-tune chord he uses 90% of the time gets a little wearing."
2/18/2003	Jandek	On The Way	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"17th album, originally issued in 1988. Features a darkly obscured color photograph of a drum kit barely illuminated at dusk through a window shade. I'm not sure it really translates on CD, but in original LP form it rated as one of the more staggeringly oblique jackets of all time. Working within blues-rock realms this one features ‘real’ drums, bass, dual electric guitars, a possible guest vocalist on some tracks, etc. ‘I'll Sit Alone and Think A Lot About You’ isn't far from Skip Spence-like detachment." - FE "The most varied and easily-accessed Corwoodian brain-scrambler in a while... Of course, if you pay close attention you discover that the central core is as explosively cathartic as any of Jandek's previous recs." - Byron Coley.
5/12/2003	Jandek	One Foot In The North	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Electric guitar (sometimes one, sometimes two) and vocals, no woman singer, no acoustic guitar, drums about a third of the time. 'Yellow Pages' is a kind of cousin to 'European Jewel'. 'Alehouse Blues' is a pretty straight electric blues. 'Upon the Grandeur' is built around a very beautiful winding figure on the guitar; there's also a second guitarist and someone thumping along throughout on a kettle drum (?). (At the end you can hear two male voices speaking to each other, off-mike: I can't pick out any words except when one of them says ?What??)." - Seth Tisue. This is a reissue of Jandek’s 20th LP, originally issued in 1991.
8/21/2003	Jandek	Put My Dream On This Planet	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	“It’s certainly a head-scratcher. No guitar, no drums, no piano, just him rambling on for a small eternity in a sort of song/speech mode... all of it sounding kind of like it was recorded though a 15 watt Peavey Bandit amp with a broken reverb spring and a noise-gate pedal. Eerie (some might say annoying or god awful), almost bluesy hiss bathed vocals are separated by some rather lengthy periods of complete silence, covering some of the places and ‘feelings’ that populate his other records so vividly. Reading into it a bit (for in this place everything means something), we see that his last record ended with ‘The Beginning’ (!) — a 15+ vocal-less (!) piano ‘meditation’ which certainly clouded the waters when it dropped — which can now be viewed as an intro to this new acapella recording...you get the idea. So then, as concrete poetry it’s not so hot, and as some kind of Out Blues piece, it’s actually rather dire, but viewed in the microscope of the Jandekian Canon, it’s pretty massive, and that’s saying something too.”
12/24/2005	Jandek	Raining Down Diamonds	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"42nd Jandek album, 3rd new release of 2005. Like some sort of spirit photography, the cover photo features the ghostly image of a bearded man wearing a startling piece of haberdashery. Perhaps some sort of prayer cap? The darker side of Jandek, with deep, rumbling bass and despairing vocals, i.e. "Jesus take my will/take mine and make it yours."
7/11/2008	Jandek	Ready For The House	LP	$22.99	Corwood Industries	"The 1978 release of Corwood Industries #0739, "Ready For the House", began one of the most compelling, disturbed, and singular legacies in musical history. In the 30 years since this unique debut, Jandek has released 53 albums of mournful, atonal music that continues to defy classification and accessibility. And while the past three decades of intense productivity have yielded a depth of discussion, a handful of legendary live performances and even a film documentary, no amount of time or experience can prepare a listener for the experience of "Ready For the House." Beyond stark, beyond oblique, beyond outsider, the first Jandek LP (originally credited to The Units) explores musical territories no one even knew existed, with just a hollowed-out voice and a lonely, detuned guitar. In 1985 it had infamously sold less than ten of the 1000 copies originally pressed, however by 1999, when it was issued on CD, the vinyl had completely disappeared, with original copies changing hands for hundreds of dollars. This exact vinyl repress on Corwood Industries, is the first time "Ready For the House" has been available on vinyl for nearly 20 years, finally giving collectors and fans the opportunity to own one of the most peculiar, solitary, and strangely magnetic records of all time."
7/23/2004	Jandek	Shadow of Leaves	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Jandek plays bass again, claims to 'no longer exist,' sings about drinking ‘mechanically produced beverages,’ and announces plans to 'think about breathing.' Recently he took a walk. The music seems improvised but is satisfyingly varied and tracks the varying moods of the vocals closely. During the long piece, moments of abjection or desperation occur, but they pass; mostly the voice we hear is lucid. He's leveling with us. When he sings 'I won't drive my car for the rest of the day,' it's a fact. The most harrowing moment comes during the last track, a love song that turns threatening: 'please take my bait... I want to eat you up... you'll never get away, you won't want to... you don't have a life, you live in me.' The music plunges down to the bottom of the bass's range, but by the last line, the point of view has pulled back again to encompass 'the grand scheme of things.'" - Seth Tisue. 36th release from 2004.
	Jandek	Six and Six	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Perhaps the most catatonic, monochromatic, non-melodic Jandek LP - music on the edge of sleep, or death..." Second Jandek release from 1981 - 3 years after Ready For The House.
2/18/2003	Jandek	Somebody In The Snow	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	Reissue of 19th album from 1990. "Rounded up into one big heap, all the Jandek records at once amount to an almost impenetrable thing... A demanding, invigorating, tragic, visionary work."
7/30/2002	Jandek	Telegraph Melts	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"In 'You Painted Your Teeth', Jandek frenziedly harangues an unknown second person: "'Don't paint your teeth! You painted your teeth! DON'T PAINT YOUR TEETH!' The title 'Governor Rhodes' may refer to James A. Rhodes, the Ohio governor who ordered the National Guard into Kent State; the song itself is a sort of incantation with Jandek and 'Nancy' repeating after each other 'Celebrate our love, celebrate our magic, chant with love, chant always,' etc., in endless variations." 12th release from 1986.
	Jandek	The Beginning	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	1999 release. I have been listening to this one a lot lately (after not being interested in Jandek since my one and only listening to him a few years ago). Anyhow, after 'writing him off' I have found his recordings grow on me after each listen. Features 16 minute piano solo.
11/23/2004	Jandek	The Door Behind	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	“38th Jandek album, third to be released in 2004. Guitar & vocals. Recently, Jandek played a show in Scotland and now we see that ‘his representative’ once had a beard, as shown on this stunning new album cover. The world truly is square and we're all about to fall off the edge.” - FE
9/23/2004	Jandek	The End of It All	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	“37th Jandek album, from 2004. 4 tracks, including the 20 minute ‘One of Those Moments’. Vocals, electric guitar, in what one would think of as the ‘contemporary Jandek style'.” - FE
3/9/2004	Jandek	The Gone Wait	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"35th Jandek album. 'The Gone Wait' was a track on 1993's The Twelvth Apostle album, now it's an album title. This has happened before, and will happen again. Five tracks, good titles: 'I Went To Hell', 'I See The Open Door', 'I Was A King', 'I Just Might Go Now', 'I Found The Right Change'. Cover photos features a continuation of the Cork window shopping theme that has developed through the 770 series of Corwood releases. This time: sale pricing. Musically, a new style: acoustic guitar and electric bass duos, with Jandek's vocals teetering into almost-Steve Martin territory." - FE
4/9/2003	Jandek	The Humility of Pain	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Sounds similar to the last one (‘I Threw You Away’). They definitely are a pair that stand apart from the others. But: shorter (though still long-ish) songs, no harmonica this time, and the guitar is more jangly and dissonant, lots of clashing ringing high frequencies. It’s lower on the lulling melancholy, higher on the in-your-face suffering. In the vocals Jandek will draw out the last word of a line into a long wounded moan, letting the pitch of his voice wander up and down, hitting all the most pained-sounding cracks between the notes, pulling the listener into his head with him. Other times he pushes the listener away again with lyrics delivered in a lazy sarcastic you-wouldn’t-understand drawl. This one hurts you as much as it hurt Jandek."
2/18/2003	Jandek	The Living End	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	Reissue of 18th album from 1989. "Janitor's Dead is sequel to ‘The Janitor’ from Later On. Female vocals reappear on this LP (Nancy, or someone new?)."
	Jandek	The Narrow Road	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	The 30th Jandek release and is similar to the 29th release 'Put My Dreams On This Planet' as it is another acapella release. 12 tracks with the first being the longest clocking in at just under 30 minutes.
8/21/2003	Jandek	The Place	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"New Jandek album, return to music (a form of music, anyway). Guitar & vocal." 34th release from 2003.
	Jandek	The Rocks Crumble	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"Jandek goes electric! Contains three eccentrically numbered (613, II, 501) versions of 'European Jewel' and two versions of the rock anthem 'Message to the Clerk' (refrain: 'Take a message to the clerk/ Tell him not to work'). 'Birthday' is a new version of the same song previously recorded as 'Nancy Sings' and 'John Plays Drums'. Reissue of 8th LP from 1983.
7/30/2003	Jandek	Twelfth Apostle	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"The most 'pure' Jandek album since Blue Corpse - rock and/or blues overtones are basically absent. All-acoustic, one guitar only, no drums, three to four minute songs. Uniquely, a heavy echo effect is added to the guitar on several songs on side two. Mood is thorny, ambivalent, a little impersonal, serious but not depressed like Blue Corpse. This is the first album in Jandek's 'late period'; stylistically, it resembles the CD's that follow, not the LP's that came before." - Seth Tisue. Reissue of Jandek's 22st album, originally issued in 1993.
7/16/2006	Jandek	What Else Does the Time Mean?	CD	$7.99	Corwood Industries	"46th Jandek release, and the 3rd of 2006! Features strangled, tinny guitar and even a harmonica! Pictured on the front, a young man in winter, sitting on a bench, holding an axe." - FE
	Jandek	White Box Requiem	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	From 1996. "It seemed that after the two 1994 CDs Jandek had buried his guitar for good... Like his last few, this is an all-acoustic affair. He doesn't play full chords a lot this time around and concentrates on his famed extraterrestrial single-string melodies..."
2/24/2002	Jandek	Worthless Recluse	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"The 31st Jandek album, this is the third document in Jandek's new solo-vocal style, following Put My Dream On This Planet & This Narrow Road. The cover photo depicts our man wearing a sweater I wouldn't be got dead in, standing in front of a red barn."
10/21/2002	Jandek	You Walk Alone	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	"A celebratory exorcism... His most hard-rockin', conventional record... The progression of the guitar playing is astounding... It recalls the savage beauty of Mr. Howling Wolf... A masterpiece." Reissue of the 16th Jandek album, originally issued by Corwood in 1988.
	Jandek	Your Turn To Fall	CD	$6.99	Corwood Industries	Reissue of 7th Jandek LP from 1983. "Title of 'Liquids Flow to the Sea' reiterates river theme. 'John Plays Drums' is the first appearance of an outside instrumentalist on a Jandek record."
2/10/2004	Jango	First s/t	LP	$24.99	Fast Music	Edition of 200 copies - now sold out. "One man experimental project by an Israeli rocker who decided to explore the electro/kraut/psych realms of the seventies. This instrumental LP is the first in a series of six releases of Jango's musical retrospective...loads of fuzz and primitive drumming with gibbering vocals."
8/28/2007	Janiurek, Frank	Electric Sex Goddess	CDR	$15.99		"New limited edition self-released CD-R from one-half of the already-legendary brother/sister UK psych outfit Red Kites. Electric Sex Goddess has that same lonesome, nowhere feel as the Red Kites debut with tough, almost percussive solo electric guitar manipulated into glorious psychedelic madrigals that sound somewhere between SF ballroom style solo blitzing and the more lugubriously extended electric Loren Mazzacane/Hisato Higuchi style. The use of feedback is particularly mesmeric, with dense globs of tonal machine noise oscillating like great clouds of lava and illuminating the endlessly re-stated six-string mandalas. Other tracks have such a great feel for commanding feedback and the movement of electricity through space that the only thing remotely comparable would be the non-Euclidean beauty of Derek Bailey's String Theory recording or aspects of the Fripp/Eno albums. Either way this is another hypnotically-charged broadcast from the edge of the world and a near-p erfect solo guitar record. Highly recommended." - Volcanic Tongue
12/24/2005	Japanese Karaoke Afterlife Experiment, The	The Japanese Karaoke Afterlife Experiment	3" CDR	$12.99	Audiobot	"If you dig spastic beats that flutter around in a distorted no-wave manner. sweaty armpits and bringing back the 'mosh' to experimental music. this drums/synth duo shits on your front porch with a vicious smile on their face. Japanese Karaoke Afterlife Experiment is everything their name promises. It is an experiment in music. orchestrated dance noise music. skits. masquerading personas that speak for themselves. involving you like a dirty psychedelic soap opera. the party. the good times.They've been often described as sounding like an overheated robot malfunction. a gruesome fact that ain't far from the truth either. Someone mumbles They make Lightning Bolt look like The Clientele! - Yeah and for the record they're from Providence and they do wear masks... Packaged in full color stencil-printed oversized jackets by enfant terrible Dennis Tyfus. Limited to only 150 copies and flaming hot."
7/10/2008	Jarvis, A.	She Is Also Phasing	cassette	$7.99	Peasant Magik	"Three tracks of total John Carpenter worship. Sweeping synths, pulsing bass lines, and Kurt Russell. Jarvis takes hints from Carpenter's classic sound and manages to incorporate elements from all of his previous work: swells of feedback, analog shimmer, and subtle, but damaged, percussion. Like all of his previous work, this is absolutely perfect. High bias chrome tapes, pro-printed covers." Edition of 100 copies.
6/11/2006	Jarvis, A.	The Widow Myth	3"" CDR	$6.99	Firstperson	"Andy Jarvis (A Warm Palindrome/Anna Planeta) takes you on four meanders by moonlight. Shimmering summery squallings are pounced on by dirty scrape monsters. A walk across the fields mutates into a superb free scrap-metal bustup. The body snatchers and Willow the Wisp are closing in, but you just about make it. Shy fairground organs retreat into the trees to escape the final onslaught.. These four tracks lead you far into the backwoods and leave you there. Dark, beautiful and quite exceptional." (Mel Delaney). "New solo cdr from Andy Jarvis (A Warm Palindrome / Helvetica is the Perfume of the City / Sculptress) opening with fuzzed guitar burrowing its way into gently throbbing drones. Rumbling drum / percussion mayhem ensues, then its back to a hypnotic drone throb of organ and vocals before more distorto-guitar channelling." - Gayle Brogan, Boa Melody Bar
3/2/2005	Jarvis, A.	Thread (Uproot & Scatter)	3" CDR	$7.99	Firstperson	"Reissue of 'Thread (Uproot & Scatter)'. Recordings from 1996-99.

2/14/2008	Jasons, The	Live on Fryday the 13th	one-sided LP	$13.99	Tovinator	"Another PE PAUL/GSPOT specialty. This is Tovah Olson= synth, tapes, can/Haunted Dan (Haunted Castle, Uneven Universe) = electronics / & PE PAUL on ?????? Screams, strangeness, raw house party Michigan ambiance. Recorded in the dark over the summer on Friday the 13th. Tovah got busted cause she wore a Freddy K shirt with a Jason mask...what a clash! Hear the air frizzle & fry with buzzing electronics while Paul screams and gags for some reason or another. One-sided black vinyl LP with handpainted art by the TOVINATER herself. Edition of 90."
4/25/2008	Jazkamer / Mark Durgan	split	7"	$7.99	No-Fi	"Another instalment in No-Fi's vinyl catalogue, this 7" sees the head-on collision of two major acts in the European noise circuit. Norway's Jazkamer is the electronics and guitar duo of Lasse Marhaug and John Hegre, best known for their 'Metal Machine Music' death metal concept album but also for the searing blasts of electricity that typify their more noise-oriented work. For this release, they also recruit fellow Norwegian and multi-tasking guitar-mangling prodigy Anders Hana (Noxagt, MoHa!) - as if they needed any help to kick out the jams on this jawdroppingly raucous live recording. In contrast, the flip side is significantly more serene from Mark Durgan (who you may also know as Putrefier and who is rumoured to have been part of the mystery line-up of The New Blockaders at Thurston Moore's All Tomorrows Parties). Subsonic rumbles and birdsong dominate the surface of this track, but the devil's in the detail – poke your attention through the thin surface ice and you'll easily fall through to hidden depths."
7/14/2007	Jazkamer / Smegma	Endless Coast	CD	$10.99	No Fun Productions	"A collaboration between American underground psychedelic/noise pioneers (and still kicking hard now for over 30 years) Smegma and Norweigan noise/metal masters Jazkamer. From two totally different worlds and approaches to sound a totally original abstract language is born creating an imaginary coast that extends from the brutality of the Scandinavian frozen seas to the dark and mysterious rock filled beaches of the American northwest - a landscape full of strange creatures and beings, an eternal and endless coast. Recorded and mixed at Smegma's legendary home base Portland studio. Carlos Giffoni guests on bass and synth."
9/17/2006	Jazz Finger	The Little Girl On The Plane Who Turned Her Doll's Head Around To Look At Me	CD	$12.99	Muzamuza	"A band with a line in snappy titles and a penchant for annoying the police with their lo-fi improvisations. Primitive electric emanations from behind closed doors, fragments of warped minds directly produced by their homemade soundlab. Eerie mechanics that claw at the imagination that wouldn't sound out of place in the film 'Eraserhead'. Disturbing ambiences of inhuman proportions dwellin the psyche, who knows what lurks beyond." Recordings from 1996-1997 by Hasan Gaylani (fuckhorn) and Ben Jones (harpsichord).
5/14/2007	Jazzfinger	Listen and Vanish	CDR	$13.99	Cut Hands	"Hasan Gaylani and Ben Jones been at it for a while now as the high priests of the murky fog and with this rugged new set of primitive drone sorcery they prove their status once more. Zombie piano style, hardcore tape hiss worship, snare scraping, decaying flutes, drones so damn rusty you'll cut your eardrums listening to them. Feels like walking through forests of dead trees with your eyes sewn shut, it's all in your head, man. Edition of 60 numbered copies, comes in a square dvd box with full colour, pro printed covers, designed by Jason Rohm."
11/2/2008	Jazzfinger	Mole and the Morning Dew	LP	$17.99	Spirit of Orr	"It is with deep honor and wonder that we announce the release of this magical splaying of deep sound by NEWCASTLE's mighty JAZZFINGER. Truly Mr Jones and his crew are the bringers, the full cup, part of the GOOD that balances our lives against dark evils. Without hesitation, the people who hold the world together. Feel their power, and be comforted. Limited to 600, purple vinyl."
8/4/2007	Jazzfinger	Orange Sauce / Peace Factor Fashion	8" lathe	$25.99	Alt.Vinyl	"Brand new release from the Jazzfinger duo of Hasan Gaylani and Ben Jones. Part of Alt Vinyl's limited lathe cut series. Manufactured in New Zealand by Peter King and issued in a limited hand-numbered edition of only 150 copies. Two completely deformed dooms of drone, recorded with cardboard microphones somewhere on the other side of a windtunnel. Great New Zealand destroyed rock feel cut with a heavy UK industrial vibe." - Volcanic Tongue
7/10/2008	Jazzfinger	The Golden State	CDR	$8.99	Turgid Animal	"Early Jazzfinger recordings from 1997 finally seeing the light of day! Near 30 mins of perfect nothern improv drone that this duo is well known for. Comes in Turgid Animal style oversized bag with large artwork and printed CD-r."
9/30/2005	Jazzfinger	Ugly For A Living	CDR	$10.99	Gold Soundz	"Brand new full-length CD-R from one of the best free/avant/drone/primitive groups in the UK. This one is as fuzzy and electronically lurid as you could've hoped, stepping up the action levels from the dead-static drone of their recent self-released lathe-cut LP to new levels of teeth-grinding fury. At points this sounds like it could've come out on Scratch tapes back in the day, at others it sounds like they've recruited Neil Campbell for a tribute to the Third Ear Band recorded direct to ZX Spectrum. Nine tracks, with conceptions of the quality of "Icy Bloody Lies, We Hardly Knew You" and "Ascent Through Degradation". This duo walk the line like no-one else and Ugly For A Living makes for a beautiful ticket to oblivion." - Volcanic Tongue
7/10/2008	Jazzfinger / Culver and Fordell Research Unit	split	LP	$18.99	Blackest Rainbow	"Brand new split LP featuring heavy hitting UK bleak dudes... A-Side is Jazzfinger's 'Killed In A Clear Sky', one solid slab of fucked up tapped guitar drone and distant errie whir... like a storm of electric feedback, slashes and cuts. Far out, and a real killer 20 odd minutes to make you lull out. B-Side is a collaboration between Culver and Fordell Research Unit, another side long piece, that starts off with some bassed up doom chugs and slogs that sound like fucking something that could lay down by some Southern Lord brutality, but then it punches you in the face with its distorted churning hell. Limited to 280 white label LPs in black sleeves with hideous brutal artwork by French."
4/1/2003	Jazzkammer	Knitter	7"	$6.99	Tonschacht	"Knitter is the first 7" from this Norwegian duo -- guitarist, improviser and composer John Hegre (also in Der Brief) and Lasse Marhaug, one of the most productive musicians in the international noise/experimental underground of the last 10 years. Jazzkammer combines timbre sound textures, drones, chrashing noise, digitalia, field recordings, turntables, static electric atmospheres, samplers sine waves and location recordings, all used in free improvisation to create fragmented, eclectic and relentless yet focused and massive collages. 'A-sia' might remind you of mixture between the hi-speed electronics of Belgian irregularities scratch pet land and the microsound-turntablism alà Otomo Yoshihide or Martin Tétreault, 'b-sia' begins like 'Pop' defined by the Tochnit Aleph crew, but slowly between layers of distortions there rise sweet, Fenneszian melody as if they were re-arranged by Rudolf E.ber."
	Jazzkammer	Turntable/Surface Fireball 2	12"	$9.99	Smalltown Supersound	"Turntable statics and electronic experimentation from Lasse Marhaug and John Hegre aka Jazzkammer. The 12" contains one studio side and one live side (recorded at MS Stubnitz, Rostock Germany)."
3/21/2007	Jazzkammer & Howard Stelzer	Tomorrow No One Will Be Safe	CD	$6.99	PACrec	"Ever wonder what would happen if two Norwegian Noisemen travelled across the USA with an obsessed tape improviser? Tomorrow No One Will Be Safe documents the 2004 Jazzkammer / Howard Stelzer US tour, featuring a track each (Jazzkammer: Richmond, Virginia / Stelzer: Columbus, Ohio), as well as a collosal collaboration between the two (Bloomington, Indiana). Live compositions of space & silence punctuated with feedback screech and tape squeals, always threatening to self destruct but somehow maintaining its sense of tense exploration. Edition of 500."
5/7/2004	Jazzkammer & Sir Duperman	Duperkammer	CD	$15.99	Smalltown Supersound	"A collaborative album from two Norwegian electronic giants sparked when Jazzkammer's Lasse Marhaug couldn't make a gig in Singapore and Sir Duperman went in his stead. A clash-of-the-titans electro explosion with each group remixing each others' material."
3/2/2007	Jazzkammer / Opec	split	LP	$21.99	Reverse	"Jazzkammer makes a turntable buzz, Opec a montage of the most fucked frequencies you'll ever hear on a vinyl record." Limited edition of 323 copies on transparent vinyl and housed in a transparent silkscreened plastic sleeve.
7/29/2004	Jelly Bean Bandits, The	The Jelly Bean Bandits	LP	$17.99		“This all-time classic US '60s garage psych album includes the monster mind-bender ‘Generation,’ and a whole host of other snotty and deranged acid-punk gems. Originally released on Mainstream. 170 gram vinyl, heavy gloss cover, Euro import.”
10/25/2008	Jendon, Neil	Invisibility	CD	$10.99	BloodLust!	"Neil Jendon is a fixture in the Chicago music scene, who has shifted between roles as a psychedelically-driven guitarist in the indie/alternative band Catherine [TVT Records], a more experimentally-minded guitarist in the avant-garde group Zelienople, and as half of the group Abduction [with Michael Miley], through which I first witnessed Neil's vivid modular synthesizer playing. I originally came to know Neil in the early 1990's, and if I recall correctly, we bonded over the U.K. band, Loop. But maybe that was his band mate, Jerome? In any case, after losing touch with each other for a long measure of time, I have seen and heard much more of Neil's work in the last two years - and more recently - after seeing him destroy a small local venue with a live solo modular synth set - I knew that it was time to talk to him about a release for BloodLust! Neil's skill as an improviser may come into play on "Invisibility," but at the core of these recordings there is what seems to be a familiarity with the palette of early industrial music, be it Maurizio Bianchi, Lustmord, instrumental Throbbing Gristle [grittier than "After Cease to Exist," certainly], etc. Neil recently played an excellent set, opening up for Consumer Electronics, in Chicago, and it struck me how well his flavor of synth sits with other types of noise and experimental music, even if I know that on one hand, he comes from a more psychedelic, shoe-gazer-aware place. Now if I could only get around to seeing his post-Catherine, dream-pop band Buglette play live... Professionally duplicated CD, single panel, double-sided insert; color artwork; in jewel box with shrink-wrap."
3/21/2007	Jennifer Gentle	A New Astronomy	CD	$13.99	A Silent Place	Dedicated to Giovanni Paneroni, amateur astronomer and misunderstood genius. He was born in 1871 and made a living out of peddling sweets and ice-creams around Northern Italy's towns and villages. In his free time, he developed his own, revolutionary astronomical theories: the Earth is flat, surrounded on every corner by perennial glaciers; the sun is nothing more than a small silver ball with a 2 meter diameter and a weight of approximately 14 kilos; Copernicus was wrong: the entire official astronomical science is just a bunch of lies; planets don't move, stars are just little fires hung in the sky, the universe doesn't exist . He also invented a new solar compass based on his "extraordinary discoveries". In his unstoppable attempts to promote the truth, Paneroni tried everything and suffered countless humiliations: he stalked professors, was arrested and became a well known character in many Italian universities. After some years spent in a mental institution, he died in 1950. Thousands of people from all over the country attended his funeral. "A new astronomy" is probably the most eccentric and out-there JG release to date. Recorded mostly in Marco Fasolo's bedroom on a 4-track cassette machine, the album has been conceived as the imaginary soundtrack for some of their most bizarre, vivid dreams - obviously interspersed by the occasional nightmare. It's made by grainy, hallucinated musical scores trying to depict the beautiful, the scary, the annoying and the simply absurd inhabiting dreams. It runs the gamut from ghostly ambient drones to brain-damaged acoustic sketches, covering everything in between - furious guitar freak-outs and a hommage to British 60's producer Joe Meek included.
1/28/2005	Jennifer Gentle	Valende	CD	$12.99	Sub Pop	"Hailing from Padova, Italy, Jennifer Gentle is not a girl. Jennifer Gentle is, in fact, a band made up of singer/guitarist Marco Fasolo and drummer Alessio Gastaldello (joined by various accomplices when they play live). Valende is their third full-length, and first for Sub Pop (their first two albums, I Am You Are and Funny Creatures Lane were released individually on Italy's Sillyboy Entertainment, and together as a double CD under the name Ectoplasmic Garden Party by Australia's Lexicon Devil label). The record was, like its predecessors, home-recorded by Marco and Alessio and it's a psych pop charmer, drawing on the band's own brand of musical dementia: an almost impossible-to-describe melting pot of whacked experimentation, deep fried eccentricity and acoustic beauty, drawing judiciously on the band's long-term fascination with Syd Barrett, 13th Floor Elevators, and Joe Meek production techniques. Jennifer Gentle is also the first Italian band Sub Pop has ever signed (such is our deep affection for the band). But, again, Jennifer Gentle is not a girl."

It's music for softspoken revolutionaries, drop-outs and daydreaming mountain-climbers. It's music that speaks of other values and other places. But above all it's more PSYCHEDELIC then you can handle with cosmic vocals from Jens and female singer Linnea, sitars, some lovely electric guitar work throughout.Beautiful mini LP gatefold card sleeve."

A haunting late '60's/early '70's styled rural west coast, psych rock/folk album that is reminiscent of Skip Spence with flashes of Euphoria. With sitars, some beautiful electric guitar work and dreamy whispered vocals this is a gem of an album. Mesmerizingly beautiful from start to finish! Triple fold digi pak."
	Jerman, Jeph	The Second Attention	CD	$13.99	Anomalous Records	"On the surface, a quiet, textural sound improvisation utilizing natural objects acoustically. Beautifully recorded by ace engineer Doug Haire in a very quiet room. these sounds are one outcome of a process that I've been involved with for a long time, namely, the attempt to give up control of the sounds. Trying not to impose an a priori design or structure as regards placement, repetition, exposition etc. and accepting the outcome. What you hear is what happened. at times, when I am making sound in a room with people listening, I can reach a point where there are no thoughts in my mind and I am just noticing that my hand is moving and the sound that is coming out of these stones is connected somehow with other sounds in the room, they seem to be anticipating and answering each other. With careful listening, some of these connections can be heard on this disc. After attempting for years to get a really good recording of one of these sound improvisations, I gave up, only to have the perfect circumstance handed to me." - Jeph Jerman, 4/21/01
2/15/2005	Jerman, Jeph / Albert Casias	Add This To That	CDR	$7.99	Shadow Puppet Recording Co.	“The first time collaboration between long time sound artist of natural objects and field recordings, Jeph Jerman, and sound artist / phonographer Albert Casias (aka Omnid).

Packaged in a protective sleeve with an insert and photographs of the objects used in the recordings and covered with a natural heavy fiber paper.” – excerpt of review by Jerry Kranitz or Aural Innovations.

To describe the sound of Skarkrau is near impossible, at times sounding like a Nowave meets death disco spazz punk band at others a demented Zappa meets Sun Ra. Jerusalem and the Starbaskets On this release J.A.T.S.B. make lofi folky pop that gives way to psych drones and synth rumbles. Jeremy freeze sings songs of Doom and of werewolves delight while Synth Guru Sean Witzman of Family LSD provides drones, and a psychedelic aura to the sound.

In Ryans words 'it's all acoustic. Supersonic acoustic sine waves interfering with one another making audible sweeps, etc. It's all just a floor tom. Secret fuckin' ninja jedi mind moves and shit'... really minimal and bleak, with an insane climax that'll blow your speakers away!

10/27/2003	JGrzinich / Seth Nehil	Confluence	CD	$13.99	Intransitive	"In 1998, American composers John Grzinich and Seth Nehil initiated a process of recording and experimentation that would result in a pair of full-length CDs. The seed of the project originated in Austin, Texas with acoustic recordings of found objects played by large groups. By the end, it had expanded into a three-year, transcontinental exchange of intensive interaction, questioning and dialogue. These works further the artists' interest in physical materials and natural acoustics which are consequently composed into imbedded, altered and engaging structures. Taking form with the integrity of a living organism, these pieces invite the listener to find his way through the reticulated and stratified development of a subtly unfolding, organic sound-body. The first part of this project, ‘Stria’, was published by the Erewhon label (Belgium) earlier this year. Intransitive is now proud to present part two, ‘Confluence’. The exploratory focus of ‘Stria/Confluence’ is the idea of resonance; the phenomenon of natural vibrations that give rise to intensified or stable structures within sound bodies and fields. In the production of these works, the composers' approach to resonance encompassed not only acoustical behavior but also included analogies of the phenomenon in group interaction and/or participation within the social context of sound generating activities. It was again applied to the studio in the use of massive multiplications and layerings, resulting in deeply transformed, evolutionary sound fields. Seemingly infinite layers of minute actions accumulate into a deep wash of sound, not unlike the similarly-minded Jonathan Coleclough or mnortham. Repeated listening reveals more and more subtle details so that the piece appears to change each time it is experienced. Seth Nehil's work with layered acoustic recordings has been heard on his previous releases published by KAON, Alluvial and 20City. Both artists, whose previous duo recordings used the band name Alial Straa, have collaborated extensively with mnortham and Olivia Block as part of Austin's Orogenetics group."
2/26/2003	JMJ Trio	In the Absence of the Third	LP	$12.99	Ontological Records	"The JMJ trio considers their music to be a part of the rich tradition of ambient music and trace their influences back to Erik Satie's 'furniture music' and John Cage's ideas of inclusiveness. The environmental re-structuring found in the tape works of Luc Ferrari and Pierre Schaefer also contributed to the work in both sound and process. Contemporaries who have inspired the JMJ trio include such artists as Helen Said This-era Dead C, K-Group / Surface of the Earth, Omit, Dean Roberts, and Rafael Toral." - Ontological.
