Houdini
2025 stock Signed to Atlantic Records in the hubbub after Nirvana's Nevermind (1991) exploded, the Melvins' fifth album Houdini was a conscious attempt by the band to make a record that wouldn't alienate their fans but that the band members themselves would also enjoy. Their best-selling release by a country-mile, this album crested at number 29 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Houdini would be most folks introduction to the band and songs like 'Honeybucket' received MTV airplay. First time o…
Dale Crover
2025 stock In 1992 the Melvins' fascination/adoration/denigration of the mighty KISS rock and roll universe compelled them to excrete out three solo masterworks inspired by the KISS solo LPs. The first in the series is King Buzzo, from the Melvins' giggling guitar grumpus. Four songs of atmospheric clanging and rockin' banging. Also features the many talents, drumming and otherwise, of a famous Grunge superstar, whose name sort of rhymes with New Wave Asshole. The second in the series is Dale Cr…

Reflect
2006 release ** Oversized cardboard sleeve. "Square rhythms, flashes of punk-hardcore (almost deviated rock & roll at times, as in "Part 1"), modulated feedback, more than distorted voices (but never invasive), magmatic stasis, dissonances: this is the recipe of Two Dead Bodies, which will be appreciated both by fans of those who today go crazy for Liars and Wolf Eyes, or by those who nostalgically remember God or the schizoid metal of Naked City."
A New Astronomy
2006 release ** "A New Astronomy is the reissue of a CD-R limited to only 100 copies released in 2005 by Sub Pop and which serves as a pleasant appetizer while waiting for the new album scheduled for 2007. Dedicated to the do-it-yourself astronomer Giovanni Paneroni, who lived in the first half of the 20th century and theoretician of a new astronomy antithetical to the Copernican one (flatness of the earth, smallness of the sun, nothing but a sphere 2 meters in diameter and weighing 14 kg!), A N…
The Time Of The Ancient Astronaut
2001 release ** "The Spaceheads and Max Eastley have sculpted a complete work from a clash of ancient and future technologies. Music as, crafted soundscapes, sculptured washes of sound, deep textures, broad melodic invention, spontaneous meetings. The Spaceheads have been hurtling down a unique path of their own for many years now. This duo mix trumpet and electronics with drums and percussion. Plaintive trumpet calls are looped across pulsing beats that propel us into sheets of metal crashing a…
Live In Tokyo & Osaka
2004 release ** Art Byington, Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Dave Muller, and Jim Shaw wreak havoc in Japan. Live recordings of DAM performances in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, from 1996. This 17 track 72 minute CD contains early revamped DAM classics of 'You Can't Kill Kill' and 'Evil Works' plus many newer exotic oddities like 'Indecipherable' and 'Show No Shame'.
Prequel Oct. 1998 - Mar. 1999 + 1
2008 release ** "This is the first album by Mitsuru Nasuno (Altered States, Fushitsusha, Ground Zero, Korekyojinn, etc.), the top bassist in Tokyo's most cutting-edge scene, also known as the groove master. As the title suggests, the recording took place between 1998 and 1999. Two of the tracks (the third and fourth) were already included in the 10-disc box set "Improvised Music from Japan." This work is the complete version, so to speak. This complete version, which has finally seen the light o…
Yawling Night Songs
2005 release ** "Yawling Night Songs is the first album from the Italian collective Slumberwood who, after a long apprenticeship in the deepest crannies of the Italian underground, finally took some time to record this LP, now released for public consumption by the mighty A Silent Place label. Drawing inspiration from artists as diverse as Werner Herzog, Coil, Big Star, and This Heat, Slumberwood came to life years ago as a techno-industrial outfit before morphing into a completely different kin…
Wüste
2010 release ** "Former Mayhem front man Maniac, whose band Skitliv has proved to be a surprising departure from the Black Metal genre for which he was best known for over 20 years, has formed a side-project with Vivian Slaughter, bass player/vocalist with the Japanese all-girl band Gallhammer, Skitliv's guitarist Ingvar Magnusson and experimentalist Andrew Liles (Nurse With Wound). Unlike Skitliv, which is a noise/doom amalgam, with Maniacs vocals still firmly rooted in Black Metal, Sehnsucht i…
Still’s Keep
A timeless collection of heartfelt and abstract pop, as obscured through the lenses of Robert Wyatt, Legendary Pink Dots and an amalgamation of aspects from the Flying Nun catalog. As summarized from the label, previously: “Although he has lived in Berlin for most of the past decade, Paul Arambula has always been close-by on the localized level of Gilgongo Records. Living in Arizona, it would have been impossible to not find Paul: From his “legendary if you caught them as the opener for your ban…
The Pilgrim To The Absolute
2014 release ** "The forty-four minute pilgrimage presented by Montibus Communitas is nothing if not clear in its intentions. Each of the album’s six songs – from the slow, shining “The Pilgrim Under Stars” to the album-ending title track – is a chapter in which we find the titular pilgrim (which is the band, which is the listener, which is everything at once) on another stage of this massive, mesmerizing, metaphysical road trip. Heavy, heady, be-here-now stuff, right? Without question. Yet the …
Everything Depends On Us: Zebulon L.A. Live Recording Vol. 1
Imagined by Zebulon and made possible by the artists who answered our call for support during the extended period when our doors were shut due to Covid, this compilation captures just a handful of the many magic moments that have occurred on our stage over the years.
All of the tracks featured on this album were recorded live at Zebulon LA between 2018 and 2020 – with the exception of the title track by Jonas Mekas, which was recorded at Zebulon Brooklyn in 2009. Jonas is posthumously with us in…
The Wrong Cage
2008 release ** "Although this collaboration between Italian psych-pop band Jennifer Gentle and mercurial, collabo-prone Acid Mothers Temple guitarist Kawabata Makoto sounds pretty much like you’d expect, the The Wrong Cage can’t quite be reduced to the sum of its parts. It can be a rich, rewarding document for listeners on either side of the pop/free psych divide represented by the two groups. Separating Makoto’s and Marco Fasolo’s guitar (the latter being the sole JG member to carry over into …
Picking Through The Wreckage With A Stick
Zaius Tapes is proud to announce the repress of Jim Shepard's dark, cathartic masterpiece, 'Picking Through The Wreckage with A Stick' lp. Originally released by Siltbreeze in 1995, it seemed no plans were in order to see it in print again, so we took matters into our own hands. And you will all be the better for it! 'Wreckage bears little to no resemblance to Shepard's proto metal-prog rock band, Vertical Slit. If anything it follows the trajectory of his debut lp, 'Slit And Pre Slit'. Both alb…
