Cow's milk vinyl, artworks and music by Chris Pottinger, with insert. Side A originally released as a limited edition CD-R art set in 100 copies on Tasty Soil, Creature. B1 track is unreleased, recorded in 2007. B2 originally released in 2006 on Fag Tapes as a side of a tour cassette with Sick Llama.

El Telonero
it took ernesto gonzalez more than three years to record the follow-up for his 'vallée de dith', but it was definitely worth the waiting! 'el telonero' is a tribute to the art of opening up for other bands. this album was created during a period in which gonzalez got more comfortable on stage, often setting the vibe for the night. concentrating on the ultimate tuning-in quality. the loose kraut-inspired jams of his second record are pretty much absent here. the focus is on analog synths a…
Moon Phantoms
Moon Phantoms is a collaboration between the bands Bardo Pond and Suishou No Fune from Japan. This record came about as most of these collaboration records do by two bands doing a tour together, hitting it off and deciding it would be fun to record a session together. Here's a review I'm stealing from Aquarius Records who always seem to sum up the mood of an album perfectly in just a few sentences: "Deep in the forest ethno-drones, drenched in buzz and shimmer. Sitar, guitar, cumbas and all sor…
Revep
LAST COPIES Now deleted, this is the super-limited transparent vinyl. Revolving around a collaborative new arrangement of Sakamoto's classic 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence', this third outing for Carsten Nicolai and Ryuichi Sakamoto has been once again packaged and delivered with utmost attention to detail from the quite remarkable Raster Noton imprint. Designed to accompany their extensive tour through much of Asia and Europe this Summer, 'Revep' is another indispensible record from two absolute…
Fifty-Six
Dark red vinyl. After releasing two unique LPs back in the '60s for the legendary ESP label with his Ritual All 770 and another one for Riverboat, finally Alan Sondheim is back! This is his 1st LP after nearly 35 years and here he plays guitar, alpine zither, electronics, field recordings... as usual he presents us an eclectic mix of fascinating sounds.
Old Souls Wearing New Cloths
Restocked, last copies: limited edition of 323 copies, this LP is a live recording for piano, voice and electronics. Issued in a beautiful red vinyl pressing, it's a terrific minimal droning piano in La Mount Young vein
Conrad & Sohn
Gorgeous one-off private-press released in 1981 by one-time Tangerine Dream / Kluster associate Conrad Schnitzler, which was given only to friends and family. Tracks 6-11 are pretty odd, even for Schnitzler, with its pitched up vocals & arbitrary lo-fi synth drippings; but the real prize are tracks 1-5 featuring his teenage son Gregor on electric bass and completely fried vocals (in English no less) as run through Conrad's massive modular synth rig.Limited to 500 pieces. Unplayed archival copy
E Pluribus Unum
a pure mantra: blending North African and Middle Eastern textures within a western context into our experience, regrettably the experience of a small few, but hopefully a wider community of listeners to come. Not only important historically, but musically: a wide range of music genres over the last couple of decades have worked with drone-note principles and it is an increasingly common device, but Sandy Bull was/is a superlative master of utilising the drone sounds;understated but effective in …
9 Solitaires
Dag Are Haugan is certainly for most people not the most common name. Being half of the legendary Norvegian outfit Alog made him one of the most original musicians of the last decade. At the start of our label we did carry his debut on Myke Droner stating it as “classic". A couple of years further we received this wonderfull demo. You can call it guitar-glitch if you want... The result comes close to a beatless Gas, a more guitar-driven Novisad, etc... Pressed on vinyl-only, with artwork from Ru…
Urge To Kill
Nobody knows what a Brainbomb is, but with the sounds of this record strapped close to your skull you will not need your fancy pants college thesaurus to figure out exactly what the meaning is. This record is maximum, in-the-red and dealing with more issues than a year of after school specials. Sounds like a fried out speaker blowing a mix of Detroit fueled orgy fun and evil bad-assery. Driving around in your car, being tired, picking up hitchhikers and killing them with hammers and scre…
Cycles of confusion
Connecting his many worlds, ideas and influences into highly personal live performances and recordings, floris vanhoof keeps on amazing people here and abroad. after his vinyl debut on ultra eczema, this is his second outing on wax. cycles of confusion unites two different aspects of vanhoof's work. side a is a live piece recorded to four tracks and mixed in his home studio. it shows vanhoof's riley inspired side, focussing on consciousness outside the mind as evoked by modular synth soun…
Concussion Summer
'Concussion Summer' on Not Not Fun is by a merry band of travelers called Social Junk. I've never had concussion but I was hoping to this summer, sadly there's been no decent weather for me to go out tree climbing or trying to get myself set upon by gangs of local toughs. Next year, eh? It's kind of hard to know what to say about this LP really, other than I like it. Some bits are noisy and lo-fi tribal a bit like that amazing Heavy Winged LP from a couple of weeks back and there are even…
Cluster II
Beautiful legit 2010 remastered reissue on Brain, deluxe gatefold cover, including a digital download coupon...Cluster II is the second full-length album by German electronic music group Cluster. It was recorded at Star-Studio in Hamburg, Germany in 1972 and was the first release for the legendary Krautrock label Brain Records, a relationship which would last until 1975 and include the subsequent album Zuckerzeit as well as the first two Harmonia albums, a group which included both remaini…

Octagonal polyphony
These recordings, sadly, mark some of the final trio recordings with David Gamper who passed away in 2011. This LP is being released simultaneously with DLB's Great Howl At Town Haul CD and Pauline Oliveros' comprehensive 12 CD collection of electronic work. Pressed in an edition of 500. 'Deep Listening Band January 2011 residency and concert at Town Hall Seattle produced enough material for both a CD and an LP on Important Records, and a double LP on Taiga Records. The subsequent summer consist…
Jealousy And Diamond
Kranky manage to sieve through the muck and pluck out another breathtaking album, the debut from Autistic Daughters - a collaboration between Dean Roberts, Werner Dafeldecker and Martin Brandlmayr (Radian). Those of you out there (and there are many) who revere Talk Talk’s ascent into heavenly climes with their “Laughing Stock” and “Spirit of Eden” albums will immediately find themselves seduced by this project’s wondrous effervescence. Except whereas Talk Talk emerged from a pop-focused univers…
Undercurrent
California Gothic set to the tidal rhythms of the Pacific and tuned into the metabolic pathways of the northwest coast. Porras (Barn Owl) has scripted a love poem to the mist, a prayer cast in ghostly reflected guitar and deep pools of distortion. The ominous opening of 'Gray Dunes' is a dense and impenetrable murk, a fear that eventually succumbs to distortion but then gives way to a endless open space of delay in its second half. Its trajectory is symbolic of the record as a whole, with many o…
Equal Eyes
The first full-length of this heavily active live unit from Providence, RI. There is no solid footing in shallow waters. Only a suffocating hail of falling rock, strangling vines, and sinkholes. It is with rare exception that voice spits the last of breaths, the dying breaths, with such spite. Like a rabbit trapped in the hole of the snake's throat, this duo comprised of members of Immaculate:Grotesque and Em Dath Rir batter and tear their way through six tracks of power electronics eco-fallout …
Beatings With Gimpy Flighted Wings Entrapped By Post-Fence Of Ga
EXCLUSIVE! Member of CAROLINER RAINBOW & DEERHOOF. Some may call these tunes brashly harsh, some might call it electronic composition, others may think it to be the sounds of rusty robots mating. Oh no, this is none of those, this is hardcore done with wires, lo-tech tape manipulation, bits of synth, home rigged effects, and a whole bunch of other crap.
