Sticks, stones & breaking bones
restocked: "the hardest thing in the world is to have an original idea. As much as creative musicians hate to admit, free improv/experimental/underground (and all other useless adjectival identifiers) music now has as many stylistic tropes as your standard 19th century symphony: the endless variations on white noise, the orgiastic free ensemble climaxes, reassuring bass drones, "brutality", all of which point to performance, not playing. Musicians cling to the next solution that the med…

Truly far out electronic music that evokes a space age alternate universe. Bruce and Ms. Nelson are joined by pianist Praxietellis Pandit and their relaxed sounding friend Chris to bring you songs about everything from ancient folk tales to outerspace to what the world sounds like when y…

Daily Dance
Deluxe vinyl edition of this legendary outta time private press LP, cut by the duo of electric guitarist Doug Snyder and drummer Bob Thompson in Ohio in 1972...Amazing, unique, celebrated, and genuinely rare artifact from Rural Ohio. After stepping out of a Stooges concert in 1971, Doug Snyder and Bob Thompson set up a studio in their kitchen and attempted to record a record HEAVIER than the Stooges. They were completely successful, and the resulting LP, their only release at the time (put out b…
Eddy Merckz
Beside the usual noise- and experimental-projects there were also great new-wave-bands like The Misz. Eddy Merckz is a good example for the extreme high quality of the 80′s cassette-culture-scene. Their very catchy sound is comparable to early Virgin Prunes with some more pop-appeal; fine harmonies and male/female singer made this band to remarkable milestone in european new-wave, although they unfortunately never reached a bigger audience. And “Eddy Merckz” is in my eyes their best wo…

Violence of discovery and calm of acceptance
Considered by the Chicago Reader to be "one of the most gifted and innovative guitarists of the decade", Rafael Toral has been developing in the last 15 years a unique sound world, having been as influenced by Alvin Lucier and Brian Eno as by Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. Using the guitar as part of a complex electronic instrument, Toral has collaborated with Jim O'Rourke, John Zorn, Sonic Youth, Rhys Chatham and Phill Niblock and played in many European countries and in several states in…
Birth of anolder, much more ugly Christ
'This shit is dark and I'm not talking about some fucking 'I sleep during the day' dark... I'm not talking some 'Cannibal Corpse shit - I'm a fucking mutilator' dark... And I'm not talking 'I'm a noise dude into black metal' dark I'm talking total fucking end of the world... shit... like... everyone is going to die and it's gonna be fucking terrible. Recorded in 2009 by sisters Roxann and Rachal Spikula while in a hospital doing some fucked up health study where all they could drink was …
Rag
Rag captures the best from a series of freely improvised meetings between saxophonist George Cartwright and percussionist Davu Seru, recorded at various Minneapolis venues over the course of 2009. Cartwright – longtime leader of Curlew, and owner of a musical c.v. which includes Ornette Coleman, Half Japanese, Alex Chilton and Loren Mazzacane – can be restlessly melodic or jaggedly guttural on the reeds, although his bedrock lyricism is never far from the surface. Seru’s playing is a tr…

The Mad Excitement, The Barbaric Pulsations, The Incomparable Rh
Smegma has been around, in one form or another, since 1973, issuing an average of a record a year out of odd tape-loops and jarring-yet-ambient original instrumentation long before electronic sampling was even a glimmer in Mr. and Mrs. Casio's eyes. They achieved a small degree of noteriety in the '80s as one of that proud elite of North American new-music acts hiply obscure enough to have European-only record deals. They're also known among the anti-pop sound exchangers of the international cas…

Split LP
Excellent split with Ryan Garbes and Shawn Reed’s Wet Hair delivering one of their most perfectly articulated runs of psychedelic pop narcosis with aspects of late Spacemen 3/Spectrum, Silver Apples, Boston garage, classic Kraut radiophonia and an approach to melodic song styles that has aspects of Woods. Naked On The Vague go back to their original duo line-up for their side, by far their most interesting set-up, with a darker/heavier Industrial aspect than on their recent Siltbreeze LP a…
Dark summer
250 copies, vinyl limited edition. 'Some days everything goes wrong. Some days sky is always grey. Some days lovers goes. Some days the disease focuses on friends, other ones pass away.

Rough improvisations (guitar and/or bass - 1 or 2 takes) recorded by Thierry Müller in summer 2006
