(Alberts Basement - AB1) LP $20.00
A document of underground musicians working out of Melbourne, recorded in one night at a gig in a bedroom, captured live on one microphone into a computer. Excellent recording considering the circumstances. Melodic instrumentals, lo-fi songs in unique styles, some heavier territory, some fuzzed up mayhem. Great Earthquake - The Violent Storm Part Three (electric guitar and accordion); Humansixbillion - You Hear The Sirens, There's My Song (indie pop, early Flying Nun style); Patinka Cha Cha And The Thimble Orchestra - Mime (electric guitar and percussion instrumental); Low Rise Estate - Untitled (keyboard and percussion instrumental); Fulton Girls Club - September (guitar with hushed vocals); Extreme Wheeze - T.V. Theme (acoustic guitar with audience participation and whistling); Popolice - Untitled (nice dual electric guitar / fx drone); Touch Typist - Spastic Duck Vomit Excerpt (almost freak-folk style improvisation); Guns For Saint Sebastion - A Is For Apple (stripped back Dirty Three / Mick Turner style with what sounds like harp, cello and xylophone, musically ambitious and well executed); Seagull - Train Tracks (electric guitar / vocals); Johnny Saw Horses - NYC (strummed acoustic guitar with strung out female vox); Oscar's Psyche - Vultures (electric guitar / vocals Devendra Banhart style). Individually hand-painted covers. “Most terrascopic.” --Simon Lewis, Terrascope. Edition of 300.
1970s Algerian Proto-Rai Underground
(Sublime Frequencies) Used LP $40.00
In the early 1970s, a new group of singers and musicians operating on the Northwest coast of Algeria were forced underground and banned from broadcasts, yet slowly built a small following around the seaside cabarets of Wahran (Oran). Groupe El Azhar and Messaoud Bellemou, who can comfortably be considered the godfather of the modern Raï sound, and L’Orchestre Bellemou, used modern instruments (especially the trumpet), which became during the 1970s the backbone of the Wahrani genre. Reinterpreting the gasba melodies on trumpet, Bellemou backed singers such as Boutaiba Sghir and Sheikh Benfissa who carried on the lyrical tradition of their forefathers singing about daily preoccupations and problems as well as love affairs, alcohol, or simply owning an automobile. Toward the late 1970s, Cheb Zergui brought in electric guitar with a wah-wah pedal. The development of vinyl pressing in Algeria enabled many small artists including the Wahrani scene to record and release singles documenting their repertoire. 180-gram vinyl. Sealed

A Beginner’s Guide to COMA
(Rotary Totem) Used LP $25.00 (Out-of-stock)
A completely essential compendium of 1980s L.A. underground music. “The California Outside Music Association represents a somewhat more art-rock oriented orbit (often with distinct R.I.O. affiliations) than Los Angeles Free Music Society’s more anarchic and crude attitude / approach,” notes Mutant Sounds. “There’s … extraordinary work at hand here, from the The Motor Totemist Guild’s archly fey and lopsided gem ‘Farmer Without Strings’ to the plangent garage prog fury of The Underpeople’s ferocious ‘Zontar: The Thing From Venus’, the devastating R.I.O. angularity of 5uu’s contribution, and Dogma Probe’s late-Fibonnaccis-like ‘Thirteen’ to the single finest tracks that either Cartoon or Newcross would ever commit to tape.” From 1985.

Batak Of North Sumatra
(New Albion) Used CD $10.00
Traditional music of the Toba, the Karo and the Mandailing (three of seven ethnic groups living on the shores of Lake Toba). As noted by your dad’s old hippie zine Rolling Stone, “Voices and instruments rise in sacred and secular celebration with an idyllic elegance that belies the music’s vigorous, complex locomotion.” Music and dance play a crucial role in Batak society. The words for “ceremony” are actually a musical term and refers to the Batak orchestra of drums, gongs, and oboes and also to the tunes they play. The musicians are essential intermediaries between humanity and the Creator. The sounds of the drums and gongs convey human prayers to the spirit world.

So-called “absent” works, evidence of their creators’ critical approach and lack of consent to political pressure under which they had to function.

Bowed + Popped
(Nur/Nicht/Nur) Used CD $10.00
Michael Vorfeld’s improv / composition hybrid for percussion trio bears the influence of electroacoustics as much as Stockhausen’s rhythmic and textural complexity pursued to the fullest extent. Stephan Froleyks’s half-hour “Hispeedo” is more volatile, owing to an apparent love of loops moving in and out of phase a la Steve Reich. Relentlessly inventive guitarist Hans Tammen bows, pops, grinds, and squeaks Styrofoam, for a strange collision of a friendly, intentionally unsophisticated material and rather horrible sounds with satisfying imaginative overdubbed textures. Metal box with inserts. From 1999.

Burselm Accomplice
(Burselm Crypt Recordings) CDR $8.00
The Burselm. Small market town in the middle of the Midlands. Usual mither. Nothing good. Houses where the curtains don’t open. The only way in is by accident. A stranger parks herself at a table in the Turks. Seconds pass. First appearance; stick-thin youth tugging cheese from his drawers. Special price. Second appearance; short lady, ancient and crumbling. DVDs. Stars of yesteryear. Three for a fiver. And then nothing. No one. Nobody. Block of cheddar and a small pile of Charley Sheen. What is there to do in this town. Scan the room. Poster behind the bar. Handwritten promise of Live action. Inept punk and esoteric experimentation. Esoteric punk and inept experimentation. It’s hard to make out. Deliberately obtuse. Shitty. Upstairs. So she walks upstairs. The DVD lady is on the door. Five quid. Give me five quid and you can come in. Cheese boy is at the back of the room with a contact mic. Some old people huddle round an amplifier that has no plug on it. She pays her money. Five small coins. Already working on the cheese. Gobfuls of it. Hard to breathe. Starts up a glam rock medley. Nothing obscure. Just the hits. The numbers one. She’s part of it. That horrible thing. Horrible Burselm thing. She’s an accomplice.

Cold Blue
(Cold Blue) Used LP $10.00
In the early 1980s, a loosely connected bunch of young West Coast-based composers was creating a Far Eastern-inflected, nature-influenced, Americana-pastoral music with conceptual roots in the works of an earlier generation of composers: John Cage, Henry Cowell, Lou Harrison, Harry Partch. Pedal steel explorer and master instrument builder Chas Smith’s “Beatrix” is a massive meditation on a single distorted chord that fades and decays into endless overtones. Ingram Marshall’s “Gradual Siciliano,” with its parlor piano and tape-delayed mandolin, creates a lovely-but-foreboding Mediterranean landscape. Peter Garland’s “The Three Strange Angels” is a thunderous ritual for piano and bull-roarers. Michael Byron’s “Marimbas in the Dorian Mode,” is a gentle, organic, Eno-esque pastoral. The album ends with James Tenney’s “Spectral Canon for Conlon Nancarrow,” a piece for player piano and piano rolls hand-cut by one of the progenitors of the West Coast aesthetic, Conlon Nancarrow himself. The piece is at once thorny and melodically gripping.

De Nagalm Op De Kopf
(Ultra Eczema - UE60) Magazine + CD $20.00 (Out-of-stock)
Throw a rock in Belgium and you’re likely to draw blood from someone to whom Ultra Eczema's Denis Tyfus owes a trade, or who wants to piss down his neck because his tail is longer then their’s, or wants to hurt him physically because they sent a master of unbelievably great recordings years back that everyone should hear, yet no one, after all this time, has. De Nagalm Op De Kopf is a fine representation of the label’s reliable variation of odd, funny, retarded, great, noisy, free, off, loud, harsh, sad and brutal.

Disco Dildar
(Finders Keepers) Used CD $8.00 (Out-of-stock)
Rare, plugged-in proxy pop from some of Pakistan’s lesser-known teen flicks spanning the late 1970s and ’80s, featuring drum heavy disco guesstimates built around multilingual lyrics celebrating Saturday nights, Disco Dildars and Hindustani Hogmanays. These original synth-dripped 45 EPs are not from the front of the pile, nor the quirky result of some token musical tourism. The music found here once soundtracked rebellious all-nighters and hotel bar rendezvous from films parents would loathe. This opulent, off-center party targets the cut-and-paste, electronics and fuzz tones of flightless super heroes such as Tafo, Ashraf, Rana and Ahmed, voiced by Mehnaz, Runa Laila and Queen Noor Jehan. This workshop funk redefines both DIY and disco, revealing a whole new side to world music and marking Pakistani pop culture’s transformation from disposable and indefinable to indispensable.

Epicurean Escapism
(The Epicurean - CURE1) CD + DVD $26.75
The episodic track by Swedish industrial trio IRM is constructed with elements from Indications of Nigredo (Segerhuva 2008), Order4 (Cold Meat Industry 2010), and Closure (Malignant 2014) — unified into a new, holistic composition which contrasts aggressive noise segments with illusionary moments of lavish quasi-folk. The track by John Murphy’s Krank is a dark collage of fragmented noise, acoustic samples and female vocals. Erik Jarl (of IRM) contributes a subtle piece of circulating drone with a tranquil surface that makes partially hidden harshness more audible. Anemone Tube and Human Larvae’s lucid piece combines the knock-on effect of the former’s flow of sounds with the heaviness of latter’s doom-like industrial. The ninety-two-minute DVD by IRM’s Martin Bladh includes his earliest short film Pig and Tomboy (2005), the epic pentalogy Cycle (2006), and the conceptual installation video DES (2009), among others. All the films present unvarnished set pieces of the human body subjected to subtly implied violence within claustrophobic spaces, where the camera itself, the voyeuristic eye, is the only free player. The accompanying art catalogue includes collages and Polaroids, short essays by Bladh, and introduction text by Carl Abrahamsson. Edition of 350. Listen to an excerpt from “Triptych” by Irm here: http://epicureanescapism.bandcamp.com/album/epicurean-escapism-i
Epicurean Escapism III
(The Epicurean - CURE.3) CD + DVD $21.75
The third and final edition of this series again unites music, film and visual arts in a vision of uncompromising utopian transgression, diving into this subjective counter-world. On the forty-nine CD Sutcliffe Jügend present a straightforward power noise track with a pulsating electronic hook; Swedish units Alfarmania and Skin Area dig deep into the depraved consciousness, each with of a unique version of morbid industrial resonating with decay; Budrus seduces the listener with beautifully melancholic Lithuanian poetry; German act Gerechtigkeits Liga clank and rattle with their brand of organic industrial; appearing as a vaudevillian, prominent voice of Radio Werewolf Nikolas Schreck’s perverse neo-psychedelic composition alludes to Lord Sutekh, merging European neoclassical with ethnic Indian music and poetry; one of the last recordings of John Murphy on drums can be heard on Last Dominion Lost’s ritual piece “To The Master, A Long Goodnight.” On the three-hour DVD are: video works, live performances and collaborations by radical Swiss sound artist Dave Phillips of the notorious Schimpfluch Gruppe, whose work has many facets — composition, performance, psycho-acoustics, sonic rituals, voice, video, field recordings, objects and electronics, etc. — and is presented here in all its undiluted brutality, urgency and topicality; documentation of unique solo live actions and the notorious Paris 1996 performance of Schimpfluch-Gruppe; recent collaborations with G.X. Jupitter-Larsen; visual interpretations of Phillips’s audio works by video artists Pakise Akin, Jan Van Hasselt and Remote-Control Rectum. Includes 24-page catalogue with a text about the work of Phillips, collages, pictures, drawings and lyrics.
Erewhon Calling: Experimental Sound in New Zealand
(CMR) paperback book $40.00 (Out-of-stock)
Bruce Russell-edited survey of how a bunch of antipodean misfits and malcontents have forged new ways and new reasons to make noise -- the full range of “non-standard” audio practices in contemporary NZ culture, from the borders of composed art music, through improvised noise, to deconstructed “rock’n pop filth,” and everything in-between. While not comprehensive (nor aiming to be), Erewhon Calling surpasses what anyone else has even attempted before. Artists and informed commentators mainly tell their own stories, describe their own work, and outline their own goals in working on the fringes of audio culture. Text / page works by Branden W. Joseph, Phil Dadson, Bruce Russell, Michael Morley, Byron Coley, Alastair Galbraith, Empirical, White Saucer, Clayton Noone, Andrew Clifford, Jeff Henderson, Daniel Beban and Nell Thomas, Su Ballard, Jon Bywater, Dan Vallor, Clinton Watkins, Witcyst, Andrew Scott, Campbell Kneale and Antony Milton, Vitamin S, Jon Dale, Mark Williams, Lee Noyes, Nathan Thompson, Beth Dawson, Sean O’Reilly, Kraus, Sean Kerr, Peter Stapleton, Stephen Clover, Dugal McKinnon, Omit, Peter Wright, Jo Burzynska, Ian-John Hutchinson, Kim Pieters, Paul Winstanley, Gentle Persuasion, Zoe Drayton, Simon Cuming, Stevie Kaye, Rachel Shearer, Richard Francis, Rosy Parlane, Kiran Dass, None Gallery, Zita Joyce, Mr. Sterile Assembly, Ben Spiers. 192 pages.

Flux Gourmet
(Ba Da Bing) Used 2xLP $35.00
“The original motion picture soundtrack to Peter Strickland’s film about a dysfunctional group of performance artists who undertake a month-long residency at an institute devoted to culinary disciplines, where food is interrogated for its sonic potential as the group mic-up, amplify, distort and transform what they cook in front of an audience. The noise that the characters in the film itself make is driven by food blenders, overflowing cauldrons of gurgling soup, and sizzling frying pans (courtesy of The Sonic Catering Band), yet the music that soundtracks the culinary capers is engorged with aching melodies and wordless, airy vocals. Contributors include Cavern (Anti-Matter), Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost (A Hawk and a Hacksaw), Trost’s band Roj (formerly of Broadcast), and Nurse With Wound.” Gatefold jacket, detailed liner notes.

"Several tracks each by three New Zealand artists. Doe achieves quiet and compelling, nirvana-like states of layered hum. Eso Steel’s “A Scratch” ups the noise ante a tad with more sound tidbits and “Ircania” goes one further with stretches of mild noise and furnace hum. Birchville Cat Motel’s three tracks bet the whole pot with feedback drenched guitar and clutter." From 2001

Ikebana: Merzbow’s Amlux Rebuilt, Reused And Recycled
(Important) Used 2xCD $7.50 (Out-of-stock)
“According to the liners, artists were supposed to use the original album’s music as an element in a new composition, rather than piece together a traditional remix…. There are a few unruly moments that seem plucked from some forgotten cassette-only … release, but in general, much of this … could pass for an experimental IDM sampler. Alec Empire’s raging ‘Digital Hardcore Mix’ comes on like the soundtrack to a Terminator sequel that didn’t suck, with wildly distorted drum tracks kicking the shit out of all the extraneous debris…. Performing under his Plug alias, Luke Vibert’s excellent untitled futuro drum-n-bass slaps an engorged, fuzzy repeating synth bass under jagged glitch stutter beat…. Mouse on Mars’s ‘Superstar’ features no beats whatsoever, and in truth, sounds almost exactly like a Merzbow original, albeit a piece wherein he doesn’t so much opt for deafening displays of violent florescence as disorientating sound design. Cornelius’s untitled piece starts out innocently enough, with sampled jungle birds and rain, but gradually mutates into the pitter-patter of static electricity and industrial clang. Nobukazu Takemura’s ‘Assembler Mix’ takes the static idea and gallops with it, giving you hundreds of variations on the same grating implosion for what seems an eternity…. Makoto Kawabata’s amazing / nauseating ‘Revolved Jane’ … shows you don’t have to bother living up to a legacy if you’re perfectly capable of vandalizing it with a chorus of grotesque psych-locusts…. DJ Spooky’s trip-hop treatment doesn’t really sound like it belongs on the same album as the MoM or Takemura tracks, and Negativland’s highly annoying ‘An Actual Attack’ doesn’t sound like anything I need in my collection at all.”

International P.E.A.C.E.
(R Radical) Used 2xLP $30.00
Songs by 55 hardcore bands from around the world addressing the dangers of the global arms race and the threat of nuclear war. As the acronym Peace, Energy, Action, Cooperation, and Evolution makes explicit, Reagan-era hardcore had grown into a global phenomenon, and hardcore was ready to work hand in hand with leftist politics. In line with the ideals of the project, MDC’s Dave Dictor and his R Radical Records label released the album as a fundraiser, with the profits slated for various anti-nuclear groups and activities worldwide. Released in 1984, most of the best and best-known hardcore acts of the day appear, including MDC, Dead Kennedys, Crass, D.O.A., Butthole Surfers, the Dicks, D.R.I., False Prophets, and Subhumans, as well as bands from Italy, Denmark, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Japan, and South Africa. The comp includes a 72-page booklet coordinated by the editors of Maximum Rock’n’Roll packed with political rants, cartoons, suggestions for further reading, and calls for activism against corrupt authority. Each band is provided with a full page to express their ideas (and plug their wares) with printed lyrics and crudely effective collage art. Some corner dings scuffing on jacket edges.

JMSA Presents Wave From Free Music Undecided
(PSF) Used CD $8.00
Previously unreleased live recordings from late 2003 and early 2004 by Keiji Haino (hurdy-gurdy), Kazuo Imai (guitar), Junichiro Okuchi (piano), Michihiro Sato (tsugaru syamisen), Yoshihide Otomo (turntable), Masayoshi Urabe (alto sax). The six solo tracks here document a series of lecture-concerts at Mesar Haus in Tokyo, exploring the meanings, methods and implications of free music. “Approaches vary between the grey kaleidoscopic fields of Haino’s hurdy-gurdy, the art-brut physical terrorism of Urabe, the traditional improvisatory, plucking style of Sato, and the anti-fundamentalist feedback dialectics of Otomo’s turntable work. All bore channels through time-space continua and consensus reality like no one’s business.”

Le Couperet: Music For The Crimes Of Dr. Petiot
(Harbinger Sound - 105) LP $18.00 (Out-of-stock)
First-time vinyl reissue since its original release on cassette (Broken Flag 1983). According to our friends at Norman Records, “Third Phase’s ‘Ashley Grove’ … sounds like a giant robotic bee dying a slow and painful death, gradually … becoming increasingly deranged [from] slow-motion weirdo guitar scraping and feedback…. Vortex Campaign’s ‘Live Tielt / Torhout’ … underpin[s] crude and primitive screeching and squealing racket [with] simple, almost mechanical-sounding pots-and-pans … percussion…. [The idiosyncratic style of] Ramleh’s ‘Live Emaciator’ [sounds] like … the engine of [a] conked-out Datsun Cherry … on a frosty English morning … [with] blue murder [shouted] into the exhaust pipe … result[ing in] an indecipherable phased vocal assault…. The New Blockaders create an almighty riot of industrial clattering…, bludgeoning everything in sight…. Citipati [sound] like some kind of malfunctioning bandsaw / moped hybrid contraption…. Depilate Corps close the show with … sinister undertones and [drunken Dad] vocals.” Edition of 300.

Light Bulb Magazine Number Four - The Emergency Cassette
([ no label ]) Used 2xCD $25.00 (Out-of-stock)
Unauthorized reissue of the original 1981 double-cassette. Ricocheting back and forth from themes of rampant human decay, paranormal and supernatural phenomena, the campiness of mainstream wholesomeness (1950s style in particular), absurd and adolescent humor, and the elusive kernel of triumph within self-defeating nihilism and inward-looking mockery, the Emergency cassettes are a source of the contemporary avant garde’s most valuable asset - the irrelevancy of barriers between naïf outsiders, intuition- driven slackists, and sarcastic conceptual complainers. It establishes the central role of a common, infinitely malleable vernacular available to anyone with a desire to get mucky with it. The variety here is so initially stunning that it seems like nothing in the comp’s two-hour duration is remotely similar to anything else on it, even if that isn’t the literal truth: real songs made of backward tape loops, strummed folk tunes, spastic punk bands that run the gamut from unison drum-pounding and shouting to out-of-control dementia to college nerds in overdrive, destroyed electronics, shit that sounds like a senior citizens attempting a space opera in a cafeteria, janitors chasing mice with brooms, lunatic lounge singer impersonators, repetitive machines, ridiculous parodies, geeky showtunes and cartoon music, surreal carnival nightmares, et fucking cetera. Tracks by Tom Recchion And The Friends Of Leslie, Monique, Jad Fair, Doug Snyder, Creatures Lives, Smegma, Peepland, The Lunchmen, John Duncan, International Language, Duba / Sansome, 30 Windswept Dimes, Decayes, 45 Grave, Half Bodied Baby, Human Hands, Neef, Glo-Bin Treeflip, Bachelors Even, Rick Potts, Bridge, Fragile Hats, Fredrik Nilsen, Jes Grew, Bpeople, Phranc, Asmus Teitchens, Them Rhythm Ant, Tiny Holes, Random Samples, Flap, Tela Conversion, Meat Puppets, Doodooettes-That Moment, Pep Lester, Cameron Hands Penis Envy, Dennis Duck, Brent Wilcox, Planet Z, Arrow Book Club, Bruce Licher, Slimy Adenoid & The Fab Pabs, The Tribal Fops, Bill Noland, and Foundation Boo.
Like a Frog In Winter
(Hospital - HOS138) LP + 7-inch $30.00 (Out-of-stock)
In 2004 while residing in Providence, Dominic Fernow of Prurient and Hospital began compiling Like A Frog in Winter, in response to his perceptions that noise had become rather hi-fi, technological, and cold -- entertainment rather than entertaining, something clean, something stimulating. Fernow's choices represent a more psychological, minimal, dismal, and rejected feeling, and calls for a return to the fetishistic and erotic attitude of noise -- and a negative one at that. Participating criminals, in order of incarceration: Ffh, A Fail Association, Immaculate:Grotesque, Cleanse, Pedestrian Deposit, Chrysalis, Ahlzagailzehguh, Habeeb, Craniopagus, Alberich, Bereft, Barrikad, Prurient, Sewer Election, Panicsville, Filthy Turd, Omei, The Seven Arts, Age Of Enlightenment, Mark Solotroff, Whorebutcher, Climax Denial, Stegm, Burden.

The legendary recording of Wahnvorstellung documents the band almost getting thrown off stage by a dumb rock audience. Flow My Tears The Policeman Said is garage rock in a Beauty Contest / Painless Dirties vein, remembered for Stender's mutation into a madman when they performed live. Edition of 110.

Nganasan Chants Chamaniques Et Narratifs De L’artique Sibrien
(Buda Musique) Used CD $20.00
The narrative chants here, performed for a variety of situations, including Shamanistic séances, by autochthonic / indigenous minority populaces living in Siberia, represent some of the last vestiges of their dying culture, proof that they existed and maintained a structured belief system. The chants reverberate with rich images of universal abstract ideas — joy, sadness, prosperity — and recall a primordial culture that hunts wild reindeer and geese and partridges, and fishes in Arctic waters. A few of the tracks are intensely dramatic, as if the chanter was channeling all his / her energy into healing someone.

Nordisk Sang — Music Of Norway
(New Albion) Used CD $6.00
A rare and intimate look from 1991 at genuine Scandinavian folk music courtesy of artists from the Heilo roster. Willow bark flutes, pristine voices, fiddles (both hardingfele and standard). Central to it all is Kirsten Brten Berg, a ear-swooning singer of pure tone and ethereal space. There are two pieces for transverse flute (one as a duo with a pipe organ that is quite unusual); one solo dulcimer piece; and one for willow bark flute. There are only two slightly larger ensemble pieces, one a trio for voice, saxophone, and hardingfele, another for voice, hardingfele, bouzouki, and recorder.
Nostra Signora Delle Tenebre
(Backwards - BW20) 2xLP $34.00 (Out-of-stock)
Alongside the world-famous auteurs, lesser known and critically unappreciated Italian directors (mockingly called cinematografari) excelled at wild, sick takes on horror and crime dramas, in the success of which music played a big role. Classically trained composers like Ennio Morricone and Stelvio Cipriani rubbed shoulders with pop-stars-turned-soundtrackers like Nico Fidenco and Pino Donaggio and together happily immersed themselves in the muddy waters of this cinematic swamp, creating their own distorted versions of the funk, psychedelia and beat rock canons. The aberrant results were then applied like thick make-up to equally mind-boggling, malevolent, highly stylized movies from directors like Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci or schlock-meister Joe D’Amato. Here Italy's current occult psychedelia scene pays tribute to the gloriously adventurous soundtracks of the less glorious horror and giallo flicks — movies that retained a decidedly Italian flavor in a bizarre mix of nasty violence, lurid sexuality and feverish Catholic mysticism, all filtered through a manic obsession with death, blood and the sins of the flesh. Track listing: Heroin In Tahiti “Nuda per Satana” (A. Baldan Bembo); Lay Llamas “Palude” (L. Michelini); Second H. Sam “Gli ultimi cannibali” (N. Fidenco); Lamusa “Tourist trap” (P. Donaggio); Edible Woman “Magic & Ecstasy” (E. Morricone); Mai Mai Mai “Sette note in nero” (Bixio – Frizzi – Tempera); Jennifer Gentle “Chanson de la Nuit” (E. Macchi); Slumberwood “Toby Dammit” (N. Rota); Mamuthones “The Thing” (E. Morricone); Gianni Giublena Rosacroce “Incubo sulla città contaminata” (S. Cipriani); Beautiful Bunker “L’aldilà” (F. Frizzi); Cannibal Movie “Sans espoir” (B. Nicolai); Father Murphy “L’alba dei morti viventi” (Goblin); OVO “Nuda per Satana” (A. Baldan Bembo); and Maria Celeste “Cento campane” (Fiorentini – Grano). Colored vinyl. Edition of 500

Optional Ingredients From A Vile Recipe Volume II
(Trackshun Industries - TR714) 7-inch $10.00
The second of Justice Schanfarber's three-part series was reviewed by CMJ when it was released back in 1995: “A peculiar six-track combination of hideous noise and gently radiant beauty. The noise tracks illustrate nicely the variety of things that the ear hears as noise instead of music, how easy it is to switch to thinking of them as music, and the way the overtones can be heard as notes. And their contrast is pretty effective – especially at the end when Total’s vacuum-cleaner-of-the-pit ‘Austrian Shade’ cuts off and makes way for Paula Frazer’s unironically gorgeous, retro country lament ‘Is She Lonesome Now’.” Also includes Beauty Pear, Brain Ruryk’s frenetic love/hate guitar, Bren’t Lewiis Ensemble’s “Mid-Range Phase/Link 3" Dome” (a different excerpt from the one on Induced Musical Spasticity), and Supreme Dicks. All covers are unique (pages torn from obsolete encyclopedias).

Overland
(Naturestrip - NS 3002) CD $14.25 (Out-of-stock)
Four sound artists working with field recordings. Toshiya Tsunoda’s “Reclaimed Land,” recorded in Japan, captures an immersive and rich environment, momentarily framed. Melbourne-based sound artist and improviser Joel Stern’s track was produced using binaural microphones, two bottles of soda water, damaged cables and speakers; it moves between richly textural surface noise, investigations of acoustic space, and minute gestural detail. The cyclic mixture of breathing, resonant drones, static rustlings and scrapings of Tarab’s “Of Hollow Traces” was constructed from a series of improvisations, using found objects, microphones, simple electronics and field recordings. Brisbane-based writer, composer and artist Lawrence English collects together a series of field recordings captured in Tokyo and New York into an audio diary of abstract reflections. Imported from Australia.

Popcorn
(Ultra Eczema - UE82) 2xLP $40.00 (Out-of-stock)
A follow-up to 2009’s La Bamba (which annoyed the shit out of everyone who ever put it on), made in conjunction with Ultra Eczema’s Popcorn Night(Mare), where more 30 people performed Gershon Kingsley's banger from 1969!

Porcelain Summer
(I Dischi Del Barone) 7-inch $10.00 (Out-of-stock)
Celebrating five years without an accident, the label presents twelve previously unreleased tracks — from shimmering lo-fi glory and falling-down-the-stairs pop, to free noise skronk, treble-down maxed-out folky bliss, and electronic bedroom mayhem — by Pumice (NZ), Johnny R. Spykes (US), Brannten Schnüre (Germany), JJulius (Sweden), Vital Idles (UK), Karla Borecky (US), Red Brut (Netherlands), Amateur Hour (Sweden), The Futurians (NZ), Greymouth (NZ/Japan), Jon Collin (Sweden/US), The Ivytree (US).

PRES Scores
(Bôłt - BR ES09) 2xCD $16.50
Original and new realizations of five of Polish Radio Experimental Studio’s seven published scores. Pieces by Andrzej Dobrowolski (Music for Magnetic Tape and Piano Solo; Music for Magnetic Tape No.1), Bogusław Schaeffer (Symphony: Electronic Music), Włodzimierz Kotonski (Aela; Study for One Cymbal Stroke), and Krzysztof Penderecki (Psalmus) “performed” by Eugeniusz Rudnik and Bohdan Mazurek and by Lionel Marchetti, Thomas Lehn, Philip Zoubek and Wolfram, Arszyn and Piotr Kurek, Marion Wörle and Małe Instrumenty. The scores are among the first attempts to write down electronic sounds, and provide links between music and graphics, making explicit the replacement of utilitarian functions for experimental ones. Precision of communication between a composer and a sound engineer — noticeable in early Dobrowolski scores or in Kotonski’s Study — yields to a tendency to experiment with this communication. In 1964 Bogusław Schaeffer’s graphic score was full of new symbols, well-defined by the author but which above all serve as tools of identifying the potential actions of the sound engineer. Six years later Włodzimierz Kotonski’s composition, deprived of graphic symbols, is a nineteen-page text-score describing the most important principles of a family of electronic pieces called Aela. The PRES Scores album is dedicated to the ambivalence of conservatism and experiment. Scores on paper are what the composer leaves behind and in this way requires, or at least allows, subsequent realizations. Twenty-eight-page booklet. TEDIUM HOUSE BEST OF 2013

Record Store Record
(RRRecords - RRRRSR) 2xLP $28.00
Location / environmental recordings made inside record stores -- the sound of regular everyday customers looking at records, talking about records, buying records, and of record store owners boxing up records for mail-order customers. Audio vérité, sound poetry and a touch of musique concrète (two tracks are processed / cut-up / collage; three are straight open-mic recordings). Participating record stores are Hospital (NYC), RRRecords (Lowell), Sarvilevyt (Lahti, Finland), Second Layer (London), and Weirdo (Cambridge). Includes record bag made of heavy-duty nylon with the RRR squiggle design silkscreened by Shogun Shop / Heartworm Press. Also includes a bonus platter selected at random from the back catalog of RRRecords; it's unrelated to the concept of the album, but we're listing it as a 2xLP for postage purposes.

Reportage: Spela Själv
(UNM - UNM1970) LP $20.00
Exact reproduction of a Swedish raga concrète LP from 1970. Field recordings of amateurs playing and making sounds: a playground, drummers and fiddlers, a garden cafe, children, one track simply titled "Gronas" ("Green"). Time to getcher esoteric on. The title roughly translates to Play Yourself or Play Naturally. It has been credited to Träd, Gräs och Stenar, but they aren't featured on it. Bo Anders Persson did, in fact, compile, edit and release this album in collaboration with Solvieg Bark. (Persson was a member of the legendary Swedish bands Harvester, International Harvester, Pärson Sound, Träd, Gräs Och Stenar; Bark was one of a few young composers who, through the UNM (Young Nordic Music Festivals), became a contemporary of Erkki Kurenniemi, Folke Rabe, etc.)

Rock’s Role (After Ryoanji)
(Art In General) Used CD $20.00
Responding to John Cage’s musical translations of the famed Japanese rock garden Ryonanji, the audio works in this exhibition are installed in a novel way to create an aural environment in which the pieces can be heard both individually and simultaneously. The speakers from which the sounds are broadcast are arranged to visually mimic the stones and space of the garden. Like the garden, which cannot be viewed in its entirety from any one point, Rock’s Role offers a separate experience from each position within the gallery. Tracks by Andrew Neumann, Barbara Held, Bernhard Gál, Brenda Hutchinson, Damian Catera, David Galbraith, David Matorin, Ed Tomney, Future Remix, Gabriel Burian-Mohr, John Hudak, Maggi Payne, Masahiko Sunami, Michael J. Schumacher, Mike Hallenbeck, Rilo Chmielorz, Ron Kuivila, and Stephen Vitiello. From 2004

Rubbed + Blown
(Nur/Nicht/Nur) Used CD $10.00
Claus van Bebber and Ron Schmidt’s well-constructed schizophrenic duet in five parts touches high-energy free jazz, isolationist noises, musique concrete, a barrage of droning, barely-changing synthesizer sounds decorated with a sprinkling of ugly samples, and conceptual art. Paul Hubweber gradually metamorphoses small cells of notes, via an ensemble of brass instruments and signal processing, into a dense slab. Another piece begins with homemade brass and deliberately clumsy edits, giving way to junk sounds and the virtual ambiance of industrial noises. Hubweber’s more minimal “Ab + Auf,” performed by a live ensemble, combines slowly sweeping drones with filigree solo-istic gestures. Metal box with inserts.

Solitude of Sounds
(Bôłt - BR ES08) 2xCD $16.50
A collection of works created at Polish Radio Experimental Studio by pioneer of minimalism Tomasz Sikorski and by his friends and followers. Four by Sikorski: Echoes II (1963); Antiphones (1963); Diario 87 (1987); Solitude of Sounds (1975). Two by Száblocs Esztényi: Created Music No 3: in memoriam Tomasz Sikorski (1989); Concerto (1971). One by Kasia Głowicka: Presence (2007). As opposed to American minimalism (with its urban soundscape flavor that emerges from frenetic human interaction), or Dutch minimalism (informed by a culture of activism), the Polish variation has been called “mystic minimalism” because of the personal experiences and environment of its creators, and their interest in expressing emotions in a grandiose way. Philosopher-minimalist Sikorski was concerned with the meditative properties of his compositions (which seem to long for brutal beauty), and impressed by the existential crisis in Kierkegaard’s The Sickness Unto Death. His attraction to despair may have had roots in personal tragedy, where intoxication, abandonment and ridicule plagued his existence. Twenty-four-page booklet. TEDIUM HOUSE BEST OF 2013

(Rampage) LP $16.00
Rooted derogatively in the spirit of Nonesuch Records' pioneering steps into the foray of primitive avant garde in the early 1960s, Tarantismo Summit ushers in a new age of reclamation of the broken and damaged arts, coercing the music enthusiasts of the present day to expand their horizons and explore new territories, still unfamiliar, yet unwavering. A satellite of unspeakable desecration in the free-jazz stratosphere of the '70s underground, Smegma is and were a pivotal point of aural disgust to many, and an unrequited love for the rest of the outsider population screaming for dissonance and catastrophe of modern sound. K.K. Rampage have lived in the squalor of Chicago's most egregious forbidden zones for years without sunlight or nourishment, and their inclusion is defaulted in their steadfast stance of perpetuating mental decay, along with an inherent unhinged velocity of self-destruction. The Floridian influence on this damaged crop of poisoned sprouts comes in the larval state of Insect Joy, a duo of crustaceous origin who obliterate the tranquility of a Gulf Coast sunset with a barbaric and drilling groove of mindless gravel-toned noise. The last nail in the coffin, in an electric storm of ghastly proportions, Ghost Moth vilify an age-old premise where confusion of sound and disruption of parallax combine to create a horrendous vision of a world turned inside out. 400 copies.

The Buntingford Long Playing Record
(Zaius Tapes) LP $20.00 (Out-of-stock)
At the dawn of the 1980s, when the UK was awash in regional compilations documenting the local punk, postpunk, DIY — spurred on by Rough Trade’s seminal Wanna Buy A Bridge? — a small market town in East Hertfordshire tagged in with a particularly strong collection, comprised of about a dozen or so local youths under different monikers. Originally released in 1981 by Small Town Tecords, The Buntingford Long Playing Record sidetracks the punk handle (quite the scarlet letter in this bucolic civil parish) and nails a brace of shambling mod, power-pop and DIY tracks by The Chokes, Riverside Rocky, The Debutantes, The Others, The Infinites Lots, The Runs, Malc The Talc.

The Guiding Fever
(Chocolate Monk - choc.590) CDR $8.00
“Huffing in trilling devices and electrical crackle. Soothed by meditative crunk and mechanical whir. A feeling of paper scraps, lint and carpet debris stuck to feet and the infamous one-note pianist has Mod Podge slavered down his front. Prophetic glitching with accompanying echo throb is giving me a bad itch. The grunts and whelps of gobs repeating on themselves. What did the headshrinkers see? Static tone float trembles and there is a weird shuffler in the corner. Bedroom wheeze and half empty toner. Skittering tapes with warm warble. Is that dirty device mechanics or electronic sputs? A dank gutter man. I’ve got the groo.” This compilation celebrates that fever feeling, when cognitive processing is simmered to shit and, for better or worse, one idea, sentence, image or sound gets stuck in your delirious head. Tracks by Vitjist (aka Witcyst), Karen Constance, Ida K (aka D Coelacanth), The Daimon & The Sloth, Slums and Soft Migraine.” Edition of 50

The Last House On Dead End Street
(Vombis) Used LP $22.00 (Out-of-stock)
After decades of languishing in the cryptic haze of shabby bootlegs, the soundtrack to Roger Watkins’s sleazy horror magnum opus from 1977 achieves the grand debut it deserves. Comprised entirely of tracks from the legendary KPM Music Library, the soundtrack is a unique blend of haunting experimental terror electronics—the pure atmospheric embodiment of the film’s oppressive ominous vibe. Since none of the music is credited in the film, it has taken years of independent fan research to compile the complete electronic soundtrack. Library music aficionados had to identify each music cue by ear based solely on encyclopedic knowledge of the vast KPM discography. The fact that this identification succeeded all the way down to the exact source of synth sound-effects from the infamous vivisection sequence is a testament to the maniacal obsession this film breeds in its fans. For this vinyl-only release all tracks have been sourced directly from KPM’s archival master tapes, exposing the full dynamics and penetrating intensity. As an added bonus, some of KPM’s masters run longer than the versions that they originally issued on LP and are included here in their complete expanded form. Astounding and sinister gems from the mythic underworld of British 1970s avant-garde electronic music including Delia Derbyshire, David Fanshawe, Ron Geesin, Alan Hawkshaw, Eric Peters, and Lewis Stern.

Years of focus groups and market research went into the making of this perfect audio product for today’s consumer: the biggest load of shit ever, handbound in a 24-page gold-blocked book so fancy someone must have won Lotto. Dual Plover’s third installment in the series is one of their pearliest pearlers, their most impressively packaged and labor-intensive disc yet. So if you wanna dumb down between bouts of Xenakis and Cage — 7u? channeling Wesley Willis in an ode to Dual Plover; Fool veterans New Waver putting testimonials from mymiserablelife.com to music; songs of unrequited love wallowing in seedy Adelaide establishments; excerpts from instructional songwriting cassettes, absurd police tapes, and gay porn spoken in thick Australian accents — then this album is for you.

Tibetan Buddhist Rites from the Monasteries of Bhutan
(Sub Rosa) Used 2xCD $24.00
“For the rituals of the Drupka Order, the primary instrument is the long golden trumpet, along with various drums and percussion and a deep droning bass. Rather than soothingly meditative, the music, which can be a bit dissonant to Western ears, is chanted by 76 lamas and monks and played with long trumpets, shawms, cymbals, drums and other Tibetan instruments in sacred temples. The monastic music of Nyingmapa Order, recorded in a great fort-like monastery called a dzong, uses ethereal polytonal throat chanting, the long trumpets, shawms and percussion instruments.” Originally released in 1972 by Lyrichord as three separate records, t his 2005 reissue is packaged in a 56pp hardback book with liner notes, photographs, and musical illustrations by John Levy.

Wierd Compilation Vol.II : Analogue Electronic Music 2008
(Weird) Used 4xLP $35.00
Analogue electronic music that is synthetic yet organic and created through a symbiotic relationship between man and machine. The synth pop of Swedish performance artist Tobias Bernstrup is sung in stern, accented English about computers uniting against man. New York’s Xeno And Oaklander combine early industrial and minimal wave to eerie effect. Vendome, Led Er Est, Sleep Museum and Angel Of Decay chill the very marrow of your bones through various aural plans of attack. Includes a lengthy, full-size booklet that captures images of the bands and patrons of Wierd. Just as tantalizing to the eye as it is to the ear, fans of the abstract and the post-modern, early synth and contemporary noise should surely take note.
Wierd Presents: Cold Waves + Minimal Electronics 1
(Angular) Used 2xLP $16.00 (Out-of-stock)
Originating largely in small towns and isolated, non-metropolitan areas of France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and The Netherlands, as a raw, aggressive antidote to the superficial excesses of commercial new wave in the early ’80s, the artists here produce a new form of electropop that combines the sounds of German electronic bands of the ’60s and ’70s with early industrial bands of the UK. This 2010 comp anthologizes songs from ultra-rare seven-inches, lost radio sessions and cassette tapes by Absolute Body Control, Nine Circles, Linear Movement, Opera Multi Steel, Bal Paré, Eleven Pond, The Vylies, End Of Data, The Actor, Ausgang Verboten, Jeunesse D’Ivoire, OTO, Ruth, Stereo, The Neon Judgement, Land Of Giants, and Days Of Sorrow. Includes lots of previously unseen photos, extensive liner notes, free download card.

Four underground poets (Hans Wesseling, Simon Vinkenoog, Bob Lens and Nona) doing what poets do, mixed with “strange sounds and effects….

Lyrics are mostly in Dutch, but there are few poems in English.”
