First Live Performance
(Hypnagogia - GIA06) CD $13.50 (Out-of-stock)
COMING SOON. "Listening to this in 2012, it's obvious how ahead of their time TNB were in the early '80s," states The Freak Animal Sex Farm newsletter (subscriber since 1994). "List whichever avant garde artists you wish and ... references to the Futurists or whatever ... but THIS was the real noise ... with many sonic qualities beyond anything else done at the time. [First Live Performance] is amazing ... not just random noises or the prototypical industrial percussion, but such a vast range of objects with their unique sounds. Remains to this day almost unbeatable."
History of Nothing
(Hanson - HN199) LP $22.50 (Out-of-stock)
Freq’s testimonial should make anyone who reads it giddy with anticipation: “Sheer sheets of onanistic sound ruin the rack and explode across the consciousness. Imagine what it would’ve been like to hear this in 1982, when it was completely new and very few frames of reference were hanging on any wall, anywhere. This is the hard rain that’s promised to fall -- this sound is a rage against loneliness in one of the loneliest places on Earth while pursuing one of the loneliest forms of expression. Totally interstellar, completely vital, utterly timeless.” Now go record your next C10, you little pussy. All tracks are from the 80s and early 90s, previously released on CD (Siren 2001); this is their first appearance on vinyl. Edition of 300 copies. Heavy duty silk-screened covers with the usual Hanson Droll-Flaps.
Meta-Klamauk (For Jean Tinguely) / Crincum Crancum
(Hanson - HN191) LP $22.50 (Out-of-stock)
“Meta-Klamauk returns us to that garage of doom featured on Changez Les Blockeurs,” notices Sound Projector. “The mechanics have installed a noisy fan-heater device, and are getting a lot more work done. Crincum-Crancum is, relatively speaking, a near-musical concoction. Perhaps twenty plus years hath mellowed their saturnine psyche and dulled their appetite for relentless noise; this is less urgent, and there’s almost an air of resigned weariness to this 2002 work. That said, it is no less bilious, the reservoir of hatred still fuels the evil intent.” Both sides originally appeared on the delirious, jawdropping Gesamtnichtswerk 4xCD (Hypnagogia 2003); this is their first appearance on vinyl. Edition of 300 copies, silk-screened covers with the usual Hanson Droll-Flaps.

THURSTON MOORE / NEW BLOCKADERS / JIM O'ROURKE
Voloptulist
(Hospital - HOS144) Used CD $8.00 (Out-of-stock)
Two tracks, one a collaboration with Thurston Moore, the other with Jim O’Rourke (and Chris Corsano on percussion). Tense drones with English clutter dissolving into tape hiss ambiance with booming, free barbaric yawps. Such butchery.
