Steel Night 29.11.01
"As a surprise on the night, and impressed with the line-up, Douglas P of DEATH IN JUNE approached and asked if he could open the show with an acoustic set. All four acts were digitally recorded by Stephen Meixner (CONTRASTATE). For this set, each CD is packaged in its own card wallet, in its own camouflage, inside a shrinkwrapped `clamshell` style box. The set is made complete with a foldout poster of images all the bands that played this STEEL NIGHT."Limited edition four-disc box set of…
Awake!
Staggering reissue, long time coming, of what was originally a six cassette box released on Broken Flag in 1985 documenting every last recorded artefact from Ramleh’s original ‘power electronics’ incarnation, here with massively upgraded sound and bonus previously uncompiled material that runs from their inception on 21/5/1982 through to their eventual hiatus on 21/7/1984. The eight CDs contain over 100 tracks that clock in at over 500 minutes of playing time. Each CD is housed inside an …
Cocaine Death
Cocaine Death is a compilation of three of Prurient's finest Hospital cassette releases as well as two unreleased tracks. The previously released material forms a triptych exploring the relationship between futile pleasure, substance and escape; escape being a myth. Cocaine Death (originally C-10 packaged in an envelope, limited to 46 copies) is perhaps the most sought after of the recent Prurient cassettes. The content is based on the glamour and destruction of toxic nightlife. The B-side featu…
Merzbient
RESTOCKED: The old adage "nothing exceeds like excess" is inversely defined in Merzbow's latest exploit, a beguiling, gargantuan and limited (to 555 hand-numbered copies) 12 x CD boxset of "quieter" material, housed in hardcover box with red foil block print, featuring sounds recorded between 1987 and 1990 and accompanied by a die-cast metal medallion enscribed with the word 'dōbutsukaihō' meaning 'Animal Liberation' in Japanese.

All My Life (I Love You)
Two of Skip's rare post-Oar studio excursions; 'All My Life (I Love You),' from '72, is Spence's boisterous take on Badfinger/Raspberries-style power pop, while 'Land Of The Sun,' recorded in '96 with the X Files in mind, sounds like nothing else under the sun, and finds Skip sonorously intoning a poem atop a psychedelic bed of sound.
Stations Of The Cross
Ltd ed of 500 copies, first edition "New release from baroque conceptualist and improviser, Josef Van Wissem, who, for more than a decade, has been quietly but surely reinventing the vocabulary of that most unlikely of instruments, the lute. With the exception of the odd Renaissance preservationist context, the lute, which was once the most popular portable instrument in the Western world, has all but disappeared from our musical landscape. Despite the arcane associations of his chosen ins…
Le désert avance
'With this new album, Melmac reveals a new maturity gained in the course of three French and european tours that have enabled the group to initiate a major part of the ideas presented here through extensive improvisation sessions on stage in the spirit of the instant composing sessions ran by Kraut Rock bands during the psychedelics years. These new experiments have opened the artistic spectrum of the band to new horizons clearly rock, heavy, trippy or noise reminiscent of bands like Sleep or Sk…
Duos II

It is the special affinity for the balladic and the noisy, i. e. the non-separable combinat…
I Hate Mozart
"Why do I have to sing Mozart all the time?", the tenor in Bernhard Lang's opera "I hate Mozart" cries out in despair. Well, why always listen to Mozart operas and not an opera of the early 21st century for a change? With their provocatively named contribution to the Viennese Mozart Year 2006, composer Bernhard Lang and librettist Michael Sturminger succeeded in creating a parody of the opera business that loses none of its sharp wit in the CD recording. The "backstage insights" supplied on DVD …
Cortical Art III
Boston's best cdr-label is run by a fine gentleman named K., and it's dedicated to reissuing obscure 20th century avant garde electronic music in shrunk down replica sleeves, complete with inserts, etc. Follow up to the brainwave recordings made our fave man in the ivory tower, Pierre. It's also on Creel Pone. This one's a performance of the piece given for French brain doctors, who presumably used similar equipment to track the neurological problems of their patients. In addition, the brain whi…

Meets the Clear People with Mystery Gypped...
Last copies from a dead stock, out of print... Technically the full title is No Neck Blues Band Meets The Clear People with Mystery Gypped Live At Ken’s Electric Lake, but that seems unnecessarily long to me. In short, it’s NNCK with members of Sunburned Hand Of The Man. Over the course of the two discs the few inevitable moments of dullness are obscured by glorious passages of spiraling rhythm, spaced hypnotics and trance grooves. Woods evoke a primal sense of refuge and sanctuary which the ba…
