Live in Vilnius
RESTOCKED! At the tail end of 2008, the folks at NoBusiness Records got in touch with us to propose the release of the last recorded work by the David S. Ware Quartet in an exclusive vinyl edition. Terms were met, authorization was given, and the gorgeous result is now available. The very last U.S. performance by the DSWQ (June 18, 2006 at the Vision Festival) was documented and released by AUM Fidelity on the CD Renunciation. David then brought the group overseas for one final European tour in …
Pyramiden Von Gießen
This latest from German weirdos Datashock must be what it feels like to double drop the blue pill. From the first couple of notes of ‘Intro/Lasagne Phalanx’ it’s pretty clear that the extended collective of prog folkies are vying to drag our unconsciousness through the rabbit hole before exacting all manner of mental tortures. It’s probably worth it though; with the gritty, bass heavy backdrop of classic Amon Duul II (I’m talking Yeti here, none of those later-period bootlegs) and the rag…
Alas Sobre El Mundo
Madrid-based Aviador Dro recorded some of the most leftfield minimal wave synth punk ever made. Truly amazing industrially-themed this rerelease features their vinyl-recordings from 1982 "alas sobre el mundo" lp (dro010), the "nuclear, sí" 7"ep (dro-001) and "programa en espiral" 12"ep (dro-007)
Heart Ache & Dethroned
Deluxe gatefold 2LP version. Some of Broadrick's most outstanding work in the past decade. "Sixty-eight minutes of unreleased new/early Jesu on two LPs, including the band's lost 2004 EP Dethroned. There are few artists operating at the fringes of popular music today whose sound has not been in some way or another informed or shaped by the works of Justin K. Broadrick."
s/t
Brooklyn-based guitarist Ninni Morgia (Quivers, The Right Moves), in this occasion with multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter, one of the most active and talented musicians of New York’s free jazz community, who has played, among others, with: Sun Ra, Sunny Murray, Test, Matthew Shipp, Other Dimensions In Music, Plastic Ono Band… and drummer/percussionist Jeff Arnal, create a beautiful mix of psychedelic free jazz and Indian raga with a wide range of instruments like thumb piano, kalimba, bells, g…
Tyrant
"NOW AVAILABLE ON LIMITED VINYL EDITION. Circle really have it all don't they? Not content with their innate ability to rock the damn place down, they managed to cough and splutter their way through two jam packed discs of melancholy, gloomy moonlit ambience on last weeks 'Miljard' and now they're back with a unique contribution to Southern's killer Lattitudes series of releases. I'm sure you're all aware now how limited these are, Sir Richard Bishop's disc must have lasted all of five minutes, …
Pareidolia
Tetras take a long-form approach to their music - the gradual structural development of their pieces blurs the sense of time passing, moving through various fields of improvisation which owe as much to rock (This Heat, Can), as they do to jazz (Sun Ra, electric-era Miles Davis), minimal music (Steve Reich) or drone (Phil Niblock). Comes in silkscreened jacket with download included.
The Structure of Chance
Years On Earth’s electronic, experimental and industrial approach to their music reminds one of a mix of early Cabaret Voltaire, Eyeless in Gaza and Throbbing Gristle. It can be considered as an alchemistic creation, forming something very unique and amazing in mood and atmosphere produced and experienced by the listener. As Mutant Sounds website stated: “… wonderful, dark, claustrophobic, scary atmosphere... an absolutely unknown Gem!“Years On Earth (Bob Roke & Mebz) have been act…
Psychic Secession
This is the third Yellow Swans vinyl release on Weird Forest and they've really tattooed it out of the ballpark on this one. It's a pulse-pounding, synapse-blasting expedition straight to the cacophonous pleasure points of your innards. It must also be known that it's one of the most grooving releases I've heard all year, dig? Makes me shake it maniacal. Yellow Swans? Yeah, they do all these things, baby. Their ultimate release Ñ simply phenomenal Ñ features a treasure-trove of guests including …
self-hypnosis
AWESOME!!!!! What’s going on here? Well, a couple sides of Self-Hypnosis were recorded in a concrete racquetball court (and a couple of sides weren’t) which has been mysteriously transformed into the legendary Black Ark Studios and Lee Perry is going NUTS with the ol’ echo effects. A tiny clatter in the background suddenly rushes up to your ear-bones, magnified into giant sheets of rubberized steel plates which bounces as high as you are. The backwards flow-motion is set on fire as the storm app…
12 Stationer VI
Music of incredible beauty and complexity on Stephen O’Malley’s Ideologic Organ label. Inspired by Pierre Henry, Swedish-Hungarian composer Rózmann (1939-2005) rejected traditional orchestral work to purse his mounting obsession with electronics and acousmatic sound. This new vinyl edition features four passages from Rózmann’s landmark work, 12 Stationer, which was developed over 23 years and dramatises its creator’s spiritual journey from Catholicism to Tibetan Buddhism. Ákos R…
In memory of John Balance and homage to Coil
These artists explore and express, openly and without limits, what Coil’s heritage suggests to them, an opportunity to make an homage to Geff Rushton aka John Balance who left us on November 13th 2004. Coilectif is also an homage to all the musicians and illustrators Scherer & Ouporov participating to the project united for the first time in such an outline, where each one of them expresses what Coil’s universe evoques to him through lunar, astral and visionary excursions, keeping his own artist…
The Path Of Lighting
First off, this 2xLP set has THEE best cover I’ve laid my sockets on in many moons. It is soooo eye-burningly great that I’m tempted to run out and buy a van just to have the image painted on it. It’s about time the art world came around to the lucrative “ray-gun touting topless women riding giant tarantulas through darkened valleys” market. Bra-fuckin’-vo! But I’m not getting off my high horse just yet. I must say that this latest from NorCal’s finest, Starving Weirdos is one of their most swel…
Birth of anolder, much more ugly Christ
'This shit is dark and I'm not talking about some fucking 'I sleep during the day' dark... I'm not talking some 'Cannibal Corpse shit - I'm a fucking mutilator' dark... And I'm not talking 'I'm a noise dude into black metal' dark I'm talking total fucking end of the world... shit... like... everyone is going to die and it's gonna be fucking terrible. Recorded in 2009 by sisters Roxann and Rachal Spikula while in a hospital doing some fucked up health study where all they could drink was …
Mass
THE WIRE'S BEST OF 2010! While Morse followed traditional avenues of rugged folk narrative tinged w/ psychedelic foxing, Mass is an unchartered, one-way trip through a world of ritual. Broken guitars, percussive loops, backwards tracking, a (home-made) glass harmonium, lullabies, bagpipe thievery & the odd bit of fighting talk are just some of the many bricks laid here. New Zealand’s Alastair Galbraith, while originally coming from the Flying Nun stable of bands, has for many years now been…
C\'est Com... Com... Compliqué
LP version with printed inner sleeve: The Bureau B label breaks into new territory and presents a newly-recorded album by Krautrock legends, Faust. "There is no group more mythical than Faust." Thus wrote English musician and eccentric Julian Cope in his classic of the genre, Krautrocksampler. Which says it all really -- neither the habitus nor the music of the six-piece Hamburg group is easy to grasp. Formed in Hamburg in 1970, some lauded Faust as the best thing that ever happened to rock, oth…
6 Oscillators \'87 / Guitar \'88
Lucky find, long out of print: No Fun Productions present an unearthed pairing of archive recordings from avant-garde polymath Jim O' Rourke, who's at his most ferocious on these recordings. From a title like '6 Oscillators '87' you figure the piece could go one of two ways: warm, disciplined Eliane Radigue-type drone or flailing chaos. Jim goes for the latter option, rattling through a host of pitch modulations and noise assaults, working his way through a sophisticated noise composition that a…
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…
S/T
"2 psyched-out sides from the collaboration between mighty Aliens and Norways own answer to Hall & Oates - Bjerga/Iversen. These sides are boiled down from about 2+ hours worth of material recorded last summer in the stunning alpine village of Luserna San Giovanni, just outside of Torino, Italy.Space electronics, weightless freestyle strings, buzzing voices from the outer heliospheres and garbled and warped messages from the great beyond handed down on recycled trashcan tapes.... celestial harmo…
Frkwys Vol. 06
"Frkwys Vol. 6 features four pieces composed and performed by artists Julianna Barwick and Ikue Mori as part of a month long installation curated by RVNG Intl. at White Columns gallery, New York City, NY. For the installation, a particle board cubicle was custom constructed and placed at the center of the Project Space. The cubicle wall separated Julianna and Ikue to their respective seated work stations, while stationary web cams captured the musicians at work/play and became interactiv…
