Frammenti De Junk
This is the first record by this violent and mythical industrial band Circle X (just before the death of Bruce Witsiepe). Precursor (From 1977) of all New York No Wave groups, they were also famous in the art of performance, pictural arts and teXts. On this mini-CD, they leave a little the industrial kind of music they played before to eXplore more classical roots and put the uneasy singer's voice forward. A less violent but deeper work.' Last copies.
Untitled
their first EP released in France in 1979, a "seminal no wave classic"; in the words of jordan n. mamone: "brutal outbursts of feedback-and-blare emitted by the late bruce wisiepe remain perhaps the most underrated and unknown influences in underground rock.”
Middle Eastern Rock
An inspired fusion of Middle Eastern rhythms and psychedelia resulted in this the gorgeous album by accomplished oud player John Berberian and his troop of skilled musicians. First released on Verve/Forecast in 1969 this exotic album features music based on traditional themes from Turkey, Armenia, Greece, Arabia and North Africa blended with the terrific improvised energy of psychedelia. So what you end up with here is bustling bazaars and scorched sands passed through the prism of the lysergic …
Big Jar Solo Sets
As the title would suggest, this represents footage James filmed of all three members of LSD MARCH (SHINSUKE MICHISHITA, IKURO TAKAHASHI, MASAMI KAWAGUCHI) performing solo sets at Phillys best book store, BigJar, while on a short US tour in the fall of 2006.

AR3

The Snake
Sweden's extraordinary drums-and-vocals duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums return with The Snake, the fierce follow-up to their intoxicating debut, Heartcore. Acclaimed as one of Time Out's Top Ten Albums of the Year (among other accolades, including an 8.0 from Pitchfork), Heartcore introduced vocalist Mariam Wallentin and her percussionist husband Andreas Werliin to the world outside their lively Gothenburg scene and wound up as one of 2008's hidden treasures. The pair has since toured extensively, th…
Hard Knox
To quickly address the elephant in the room -- certainly, collections of demos, outtakes and home recordings are mostly bogus, but obviously you're reading this, so obviously I've somehow been coerced into releasing this batch of tunes, and you've bought it or stolen it or borrowed it or gotten a promo or whatever, so let's cut to the chase. In my defense, all of the cuts contained herein are 'songs' in the traditional western sense -- my experiments in 'surf harmonica' and 'doom zydeco' will no…
Rocky Mountain Low
Few critics in their right minds would hail Colorado as a hotbed of early punk rock, but the vigor of our state’s late-’70s punk and new wave scene should not be forgotten. Joseph Pope and Dalton Lawrence Rasmussen give it a proper salute with “Rocky Mountain Low,” an exhaustive, lovingly assembled compilation on CD and double LP. Like countless music scenes of the time, we had our own versions of the Stooges, the Velvet Underground, Buzzcocks, X-Ray Spex and others. And while locals like the He…

Split LP

Astra & Knyst
Now Voks is finally presenting his first full-length album (though only 30 minutes long this is epic in Voks' universe - both 3"CD's included 10 tracks each within 20 minutes). While keeping his trademark style of hyperactive and nervous high-pitched twisted pop songs a newborn interest in (italo-western) movie soundtracks seems to be evident. The sound of super fast surf guitars is colliding with what seems chinese opera samples, world music is combined with children's whisteling tunes. Think R…
