Oddities 2013-2015
Hardy Fox was the primary composer of The Residents. He created an incredible body of work, using all kinds of names other than The Residents, amongst them Combo De Mechanico, Sonidas De La Noche, Dead Eye Dick, Charles Bobuck or Black Tar And The Cry Babies. The Tar projects were generally created to help raise money for needy projects for poverty, mass destruction in fire, and to fight the evil of Trump uprising. Before Hardy died, he sent us several albums to be released after his passing. On…
Drookitarlùp

An orchestra of specialised players, The Kafkian Cladistique Claque, gathered with the authors at Andrej Bagar Theatre in Nitra, Slovakia.
They rehearsed time and again, then both composers conducted one performance each with their specific interpr…

In 15 years Xeaxx Xeaxx have released one CDEP on Troniks and one 7-inch on Fast Weapons and played two shows (one in the bathroom at The Smell and I can’t recall where the other one was, but involved us both trying to get into a sleeping bag with some microphones)… 15 years later we have a new 7-inch! Maybe we will do an LP in 2048? For this recording Brace…

Difference and Repetition / A Musical Evocation Of Gilles Deleuze
This new album (the tenth in their discography) was born from two ambitions: to pay tribute to Soft Machine's Third on form (4 sides / 4 titles) and to philosopher Gilles Deleuze (Difference and Repetition is the title of his thesis) on the contents. The 4 long pieces of this double concept album were developed over 2 years and each has a different style and climate. Bold and kaleidoscopic, Difference and Repetition perfectly synthesizes the musical and literary obsessions of Palo Alto.
Formed i…

Back From The Deep Water (Sharkive: 1981-1987)
**Edition of 300, one-off pressing** Basking Sharks are one of the unsung heroes of the original minimal / synth–pop / wave era. Formed in 1980 in the North of England, members Adrian Todd, Ged McPhail and Martyn Eames used an array of home–made electronic instruments plus customized second hand synths to provide unique sounds. On stage they always played "live" without the use of backing tracks. Their stage act included a slide show, films and computer visuals synced into the stage performanc…

Volume One
Before Om, there was Sleep and ‘Volume One’ was their debut album release, on Californian label Tupelo (probably best known for releasing Nirvana’s ‘Bleach’ in Europe). It hit the shelves in 1991 to great acclaim and the band were eventually signed by metal dons Earache, but ‘Volume One’ has been unavailable for some time now, and with the renewed interest in Hakius and Cisneros it makes perfect sense to have the album available once again.
Sleep were quite clearly indebted to Black Sabbath at t…

Threnody for Judas Iscariot
* Edition of 100. Housed in high quality folded card stock Silk Screened. * Spit-tested veterans of frontal-lobe extermination, Key of Shame’s Pat Murano (Decimus, NNCK) and Mark Morgan (Sightings) discharge focused algorithms of unease and decay in split-second intervals on their third LP, Threnody for Judas Iscariot. A sly codicil of dim textures and gestalt arpeggios, Judas Iscariot shudders itself open and stays gaping, bum notes skittering and splitting out of the electronic backwash like e…
