Anti-Natural
(Swill Radio) Used LP $10.00
In these “idealized field recordings that capture the hallucinatory isolation of an abandoned arctic base, Anti-Natural combines organic mechanistic processes into an aesthetic whole. Both severe and opulent, naïve and self-confident, it offers an escape route from the false dichotomies of man/nature and man/machine and attempts the transcendence of the impossible. Electronic recreations of the world around us, both real and imagined, foment immutable revolutions in sound.”
Beauty School
(Ultra Eczema - UE70) LP $30.00 (Out-of-stock)
Beautiful carpets of radio bleebs and static, piano by trained pianiste Karla Borecki, and almost kraut-like synth ambience by this under-appreciated collective led by the singular Scott Foust. Mono colored jacket by Dennis Tyfus full of dots, and comes with an insert. Limited to 300 copies
Explosion At A Shingle Factory
(Swill Radio) Used 2xLP $20.00 (Out-of-stock)
The early ’90s debut vinyl by Scott Foust’s post-Anschluss project. Basement experimental sound and collage recordings from Amherst. Tapes, keyboards, synthesizers, harp, piano, percussion. With booklet.
Music From The Impossible Salon
(Kye - KYE10) LP $15.00 (Out-of-stock)
Positioned on the frontline in the ageless battle for aesthetic purity, Scott Foust and Karla Borecky's minimal yet striking gestures in eight elegant settings variously combine piano, synth, radio, trombone, organ, gong and voice. Music From The Impossible Salon is a dusky pleasure center where jaded listeners can find discreet interruption from the horrors of the day. Numbered edition of 300.
The Fourth Dimension Is Money
(Swill Radio) Used 2xLP $28.00 (Out-of-stock)
“Natural sounds, Irish harp, percussion, minimalistic hypnotic free music” is how one Japanese bilbo describes this mid-’90s album by Scout Foust and Carla Borecky. “Spacey jam by electronics, ethereal cries and whistles of birds sound, analog synths…. [C]omfort and oddities are blended exquisitely…. Recommendation panel in the luxury!” With currency pasted-on front cover
The Island of Taste
(Fördämning Arkiv) Used CD $10.00
“The slow, eerie music benefits enormously from Borecky’s move toward the acoustic piano” notes our friends at Sound Projector. “Now she can actually deliver resonant chords, instead of struggling with monophonic synths. Indeed, the analogue electronic sound which used to feature so heavily on IFCO records has been all but replaced by other, simpler sounds: principally the radio and tapework of Foust, the found sound of Lambkin, or the mixed singing voices of Borecky, Swenson and O’Reilly.”
The Synthetic Elements
(Crisis of Taste) Used LP $14.00
“Deceptively simple conversations between Karla Borecky’s stately, withering piano phrasing and Scott Foust’s dicey yet assured treatments for synth, radio, guitar and occasionally more discreet sources. An intoxicatingly playful, yet hopeless atmosphere.” From 2016. Numbered edition 282/300
