Did You See?/Spectacular Of Passages
Two stunning exclusive tracks finally unleashed after (too many) years on the shelf, just in time to coincide with Samara's wonderful new album Future Slip on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label. A sweet little dose of hushed and fragile melancholy folk-pop-drone fluttering. Samara's unmistakable slow-bliss songforms are at their most stripped down and psychedelically entwined, with thick hovering violin tones, distant reverbed atmospheres and gentle swirls of quivering guitar feedback all li…
Acoustic solo percussion-vol.4
Fourth and last single in the serie. Again and only acoustic percussion.
Night Tripper
Former drummer of enigmatic LA synthpunk outfit NEW COLLAPSE, RICH BITCH (aka FRANK ALPINE) has been privately sharing his solo work with friends over the last few years on cassette. Dais is proud to announce the first vinyl release of these original cassette recordings of Alpine’s dark ambient / coldwave excursions. Limited edition of 300 hand-numbered copies.
Refuse This Gift
The third album Refuse This Gift from Bear Claw is one of two records that ended up being part of a double whammy of releases from Sickroom Records just recently for me. Paired up, at least in my mind, with the excellent Conformists record (which you can find a couple posts below) Bear Claw gives a bit more of a traditional spin on the Chicago math/noise-rock sound compared to their label mates. With their third album Refuse This Gift the band hasn’t deviated all that much from their pr…
Mask Rewind
LISFRANK was an obscure one-man project from Savona area, Italy, active from 1980 onwards but not releasing much music ever since apart from a few tracks via the own Mask Productions label in 1982 and 1983. The first and only LISFRANK stand-alone release was the 12”EP “Man Mask” (Mask Productions, MKX 01, 1982), definitely one of the best and rarest early 80’s minimal electro 12”s ever and on top of most want lists ever since, including the super hit “It’s Life”, as well as “Violence in m…

Musiktheater Und Experimentelle Musik
This is an original copy of a 1984 privately released avant experimental music Boxset of 3 LP’s (plus a 4 pages informative insert) by the obscure Phren ensemble. The music is very atmospheric and higly experimental/ free improvised not far from AMM, MEV or Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza but more in a 'german' way if i might say so (and if it says something!).

Fever
Aiaiai, there we go again, 2 years ago it started and now it seems too late to ever stop it.. where is this gonna end, is of course an interesting question.. after a whole night long LA Bamba party (which is seriously a bigger aural torture than any noise gig), a lp with only La Bamba cover versions, a whole night long Popcorn and a accompanied comp lp, it's about time to abuse Eddie Cooley and John Davenport's Fever! on september 3rd 2011 the Fever night is happening on a boat in oostende, and …
Miaux
"warm thick tears force their ways out of droopy eyes, children cover their ears and peppep is rubbing his underbelly with sandpaper.the general gloom MIAUX spreads on her sandwiches is darker than tatort and could easily replace any soundtrack of a fassbinder movie, the sad joy of a lady from sarajevo pushing her entire hands into a keyboard, don't ask her for a encore or you'll receive a grim reward!it seems that a new breath of electronic music is blowing over antwerp, all in a sort of kubin/…
Season Of Risk
Colour photocopied sleeve. Edition of 325** Arresting Americana Doom and etheric grunge from the edge of civilization. Since sacrificing their Mythical Beast, Corinne Sweeney and Jeremiah Cowlin abandoned Philly for the wilds of Coyote, New Mexico, living off the grid and conceiving the low sunken sound of Ether Island. "A Side opener “Season Of Risk” corrals a mud-flood of thick tectonic shred over a buried beat, Sweeney’s vox tearing through in hot red flashes like a prairie flash fire …
Magnedisk Recordings Of Gfrenzy Songs
Liars - Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross - return in 2010 with their boldest and most exhilarating record to date. Sisterworld was written and recorded in Los Angeles by Liars and Tom Biller and is an invigorating summation of their career so far. Building on the back-to-basics approach employed by previous album, Liars (2007), Sisterworld is a dense art-pop thrill from start to finish. The expanded 2CD version comes with a second CD of remixes and reinterpretations of all 11 tracks…

All copies of the 4/23/03 2xLP are …
Silent Movie
silent movie documents the only known live performance of the alias of the new blockaders at no fun fest. the dvd holds only silent footage and one must spin the vinyl to hear the sound while witnessing this futile destruction. dvd features additional commentary by g.x. jupiter-larsen.
Faults
Seefeel is one of the most emblematic British bands of the beginning of the 90s. They formed the chore of the first round of what was later called (British) post rock together with bands like Bark Psychosis or Disco Inferno, performing a sound that came straight from shoegaze influences with layers of evocative distortioned guitar sounds with elegant electronics that moved into different territories through their initial EPs to achieve a completely new sound many tried to imitate once the…
Parsons' Blues
Six Organs goes stomping wordlessly into the next phase with heavy gravity boots on. This is full-bore, petals-to-the-metals Six Organs, featuring Ben Chasny backed with his erstwhile bandmates known as Comets on Fire
Insect Dilemma/Disallowed
This is the brand new project of Alvarius B. (Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls). Recorded in Cairo in October 2012, both tracks on this 7 inch are not found on the new Invisible Hands self-titled album and exclusive to this 45 rpm. Side one is a fully orchestrated version of two Alvarius B tracks, one of those tracks, Insect Dilemma, was included on Sun City Girl's classic 330,003 Crossdressers from Beyond the Rig Veda album from 1996. Side B, Lili Twil, is a cover of a Moroccan folk song from…
Rasputin 3000
This one-time limited edition of 750 copies comes from Austria's Comfortzone label and catches Mika Vainio in swaggering backroom dancefloor mode again for a 2nd, Jukebox-styled 7". A-side is a corrosive, killer slice of Industro-Bashment called 'Rasputin 3000', all skeletal rhythmic swagger and elemental distortion. B-side features an even more stripped down and haunted number called 'Devil Arrives To Finspång'. Nobody does this thing quite like Vainio - miss out at your peril!
Hunker
Minimal Wave is proud to announce our 34th release, a limited edition hand-silkscreened 10” release of Schedelvreter (which loosely translates as “Skull Gobbler”), the Dutch side project of brilliant minimal synth pioneer Danny Bosten, best known for his project Das Ding. The seven tracks were originally recorded in Danny’s home studio and self-released on a cassette entitled Hunker via his Tear Apart Tapes label in 1985. The newly remastered 10” is limited to 999 hand-silkscreened numbered copi…
Freeze!
After 2 full-lengths mining vintage horror scores and Italo/Goblin-isms for inspiration, Kansas City riddler and composition whiz Umberto slow-pans his focus out of the graveyards and black widow cobwebs into the celluloid-stained artificial streets of Beverly Hills police beats and pop culture ghost-busting. Freeze! is an inscrutable but impressively legit reinvention of Jan Hammer-style 80’s soundtrack cheese: soaring keyboard lines, fast-tappin’ piano, locked-in bass grooves, goofy canned dru…
