Helegy
2005 release ** "Here we are, grappling with the twin-needle turntable, the forced-groove vinyl, the ambient feedback, and everything else. The tracks reproduced and mistreated in the eleven excruciating episodes of the mini are this time by AMK. It's only right to recommend the album to fans of the most stripped-down and minimal dark ambient music."

What started as an unplanned encounter between two visionary musicians has now crystallized into U TA, an album that brilliantly captures the haunting and complex interplay of Haino's resonant …

The Suddering Years
*100 copies limited edition* G Lucas Crane returns with a huge slab of new sound work drawn from the last two years of vibrating sonic gristle and swollen sound jelly, producing the new righteous gibberish adjective of ‘suddering’.
