★Last Visible Dog

Long overdue second release by Renato for LVD.  As with Horse Frenzy and his contributions to the Invisible Pyramid and Crows of the World comp, Renato shows his unique vision for what music can be; drawing comparisons to virtually nothing else out t…

Brian Cook (TERMINALS) & wife Maryrose make up this long-running project who's releases on Ajax/3 Beads of Sweat & Siltbreeze have continued to tread a line between haunting country-esque ballads & the brand of noise-rock for which the Terminals is k…

Brand new, this makes some very pleasing nods to Henry Cow/Fred Frith & a few others; but these are take off points only. Ultimately the album explores a broad swath of musical possibilities, & certainly the release goes a long way in establishing Co…

Fabio Orsi (collaborator on last year's 'Wildflower's under the sofa') returns with a double disc effort that is at once a highly satisfying 2 hour entry in the ambient genre. Although LVD's catalog often leans toward noiser, less melodic works, Audi…

Peter Wright's music has a warm, organic quality to it, and he even manages a short song here to close the cd. Recorded august 2001-april 2002, Sumner, New Zealand. Guitars, violin, bowed gas bottle, supsended bottles, electronics and voices. Origina…

Three CD retrospective collecting two complete albums (Pariahs Sing Om, Catch a Spear As It Flies'), significant excerpts from Duna and A Tiny Camp In the Wilderness and various unreleased tracks. None of this material has ever been available outside…

Armpit is another Clayton Noone project (along with CJA and the Futurians), this one being (I assume) the oldest of the three.  Back when LVD was in its first year or so, Clayton suggested we do a release, but something terrible went wrong and it nev…

What happens when you bring together not just two but THREE of the strangest bands ever (Kulkija, Uton, Eyes Like Saucers), allowing them to record by their own (lack of) rules an album that sounds about like nothing else that's ever been recorded?  …

2008 release ** "Jack Wright lays down a whole disc's worth of monumentally impressive solo alto sax recordings on The Indeterminate Existence, taking some cues from the idiom-expanding sonic experimentation of Evan Parker, whose vocal-styled squawks…

2007 release ** The third release by Italian duo consisting of sound artist legend Gianluca Becuzzi along with relative newbie Fabio Orsi, “Wildflowers” is a surprisingly passionate mix of found sounds, acoustic and electronic, along with some guitar…

Haunt is a swirl of Farfisa organs, loops, stretched-out guitar, and the fragmented, fractured beats of an analog drum machine and tube amplifier static. The album was recorded by Erik Carlson & Jeff Knoch late 2005. What began as a plan to record a …

2007 release ** "First entry in an on-going 'annual report' style compilation, programmed with the same sensibilities as 2005's Invisible Pyramid compilation by label guru Chris Moon. This entries' line-up includes: Keijo's Free Players, Brad Rose's …

3CD live retrospective covering '98-2006 & incl. shows in New Zealand, Japan, Denmark & Scotland. Shows the evolution of sound from the mid 90's slowly emerging drone-fields to the more dynamic sound. He's assembled the best possible overview of his …

"Ben Reynolds is one of the newer voices from the same UK scene that includes Ashtray Navigations and many of the VHF celebrities (Sunroof!, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Richard Youngs, etc.) It should be of little surprise then that Book of Beyond …

This is the same Clayton Noone who isn't (but will soon be) a legend; the same man behind the art-punk Futurians and junk-noise Armpit. Nevermind his super obscure CD-R- only collaborations with Last Visible Dog label-mate Antony Milton, going under …

2006 release ** ""This is the same Neville behind Pumice (Raft previously on LVD, and Yeahnahvienna (Soft Abuse) as well as a collaborator with the likes of C.J.A, Witcyst, Matt Middleton, Antony Milton, Chris Knox (Tall Dwarfs) and Campbell Kneale (…

2006 release  ** "Avant garde jazz, it's all just a load of old guys making squeaky sounds with long pauses isn't it? Well yes, to a point it is but I think Rune Grammofon have taught us that it can, occasionally, be a lot of fun. Over two giant spra…

If you picked up Last Visible Dog's recent six-disc Invisible Pyramid: Elegy Box, you were treated to a 19-minute exercise in drone poetics, courtesy of Providence, R.I.'s Area C. His track, 'Chain Bridge,' led off the final disc of the set and prove…

Enormous 7-1/2 hour 6 CD compilation featuring almost everyone from the label roster along with plenty of new faces. Each artist has contributed an EP's worth of exclusive material (10-20 mins) specifically recorded for this release (not the normal t…

Indescribable Italian artist who has had previous releases on Fringes, Fusetron and Public Eyesore.  Hoarse Frenzy is like Faust doing a folk album; terribly beautiful and weird.  Incredible use of sound space and field recordings. "Last Visible Dog …

2005 release ** "First real CD from little known NZ knob-twiddler/sound-sampler/drone-minimalist in the footsteps of Peter Wright and Omit. Seht is one Stephen Clover, who has released a handful of drone-oriented limited lathe cuts under different na…

2005 release ** "The Nether Dawn is the ambient noise project of Anthony Milton. Whiskey Mute-Down first came out as a private CD-R on Milton's own Pseudo Arcana imprint, and here it is given its first official pressing (Last Visible Dog had already …

They call their home studio the Space Room; they name their pieces after galaxies and nebulas; and their cat appears to be an alien. Please act surprised when you learn that this duo from Torino, Italy, plays space music -- not your ordinary brand, t…

2003 release ** All music was completely improvised and not overdubbed. Originally released as a CDr with the same catalogue number, this reissue contains a bonus track. "Tsurubami is yet another side project by the prolific Acid Mothers Temple guita…
