AMON DÜÜL

Paradieswärts Düül

MAURIZIO BIANCHI

Symphony for a Genocide

(Hospital - HOS103) CD $12.00

(Hospital - HOS103) Used CD $5.00

Originally released in 1981, this debut album followed numerous tape-only releases by this Italian industrial legend. MB's bleak, chilling drones contain plenty of well-constructed brutality with hallucinatory blasts of electronic noise, grinding rhythms of hand-cut tape noise, and overblown synthetic distortion.

BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL

Birds Call Home Their Dead

(Celebrate Psi Phenomenon) Used CD $6.00

The thirty-minute title track on this 2007 disc comes on like "supercharged outerspace noise-rock ... that builds ... until the whole thing explodes into a full-on in-the-red space-rock free jam.... "Kissing Dragon" ... [with its] languid, high-end shimmer, layers of guitar, tangled melodies [and] deep reverberant swells [is] woven into a ... dreamlike raga...." The final track, "Her Anger Is Limitless," previously released as a tour CDR (Celebrate Psi Phemenon 2006), "sounds like a million guitars..., guys outside cutting down trees and tossing them in the wood chipper..., [a] futuristic synth battle, thousands of little bells and chimes, a roomful of amps turned on and buzzing with no instruments plugged into them...."

BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL / BRUCE RUSSELL

Untitled

(Celebrate Psi Phenomenon) Used CD $6.00

2003 collaboration by Campbell Neale and that one guy from the Dead C and A Handful of Dust. The former plays violin, turntables, space phone, bamboo rattle, amplified sugar bowl, milkshake mixer, turntables, contact mics, computer speakers, tapes, clarinet, recorder, transceiver mic, organ, and cheap synth, while the latter handles guitar, effects, tape loops, fire, pine cones, water, electric toothbrush, percussion, and oscillator.

BLITZOIDS

Stealing From Helpless Children / Look Up

(Ad Hoc - ADHOC16/17) Used 2xCD $10.00 (Out-of-stock)

This two-disc set compiles the entire recorded output of this band that came of age during the ascent of '80s DIY -- two full albums and bonus material collected from compilation appearances and the like. The first album reflects the irreverence of Residential / Zappa-esque rock and their own untamed personalities. One the second disc, their darker 1992 album, drum machines and lo-fi synthesizers dominate. Still fractured.

TORE HONORÉ BØE

Suave Siesta

(Purple Soil - PS2004) Used CD $8.00

Part reissue of an out-of-print Jazzassin release called Siesta, part new material in the same vein (Suave) by this Origami Republika head of state. Environmental collage, field recordings, minimally processed sounds, plenty of silence, and devices referred to as "analog laptops."

CHRISTINE 23 ONNA

Shiny Crystal Planet

(Alchemy - ARCD119) Used CD $20.00

A fusion of the psychedelic phrasing of Angel’in Heavy Syrup guitarist Fusao Toda and the spacey electronics of Masonna’s Maso Yamazaki, pumped full of pop fashion sense, the perfect soundtrack for an astro-modernist go-go lounge.

TONY CONRAD / FAUST

HOLGER CZUKAY / ROLF DAMMERS

Canaxis

(Spoon) Used CD $6.00

"Boat-Woman-Song" and "Canaxis" were recorded in Cologne 1968, originally released 1969, remixed from the original tapes. The previously unreleased "Mellow Out" was Czukay's first piece of music performed for an audience in 1960 on the German radio, cut into vinyl by a small recording studio straight from the broadcast.

DIN TRIPTYCH

To And From Concentrate

(Sillybird) Used LP $8.00

The one and only LP by this mid-90s Oakland trio rewrites chaos theory as we know it. Are you on the cutting edge of physics or not, asshole? “To and From Concentrate is a dissonant barrage of guitars jangling on the backbeat, arrhythmic bass lines loping and clambering through myriad time signatures, and drums switching meters at the drop of a high hat,” says the Bay Guardian. “The album's six tracks -- each one clocking in at exactly seven minutes and six seconds -- are exercises in endless displacement; instruments join for an instant, then scamper in divergent directions, dropping in at one beat and out the next. Vocals add to the din with syncopated cantos of blank verse about high school cheers.”

DISCORDANCE AXIS

Ulterior

(Ulterior) Used LP $30.00

The debut album from 1995 packed with loads of brilliant riffs from this bass-less grindcore trio (guitarist Rob Marton, drummer Dave Witte, vocalist Jon Chang) influenced by Japanese hardcore. Raw sewage production, chaotic drumming, and vocals alternating from low-ranged barks to viciously high shrieks. Near mint, with small scuffs on the corner edges.

ENKIDU

Hasselt

(Turtles' Dream - TDCD03) Used CD $6.00

WIth Chie Mukai, Eric Cordier, Seiichi Yamamoto. From 2003.

EXPO 70

Sonic Messenger

(Beta Lactam Ring - mt225b) Used 2xLP $15.00

Dark matter squeaks and moans in wave forms, like the Doppler buzz of an armada of flying fortresses piercing through the black vacuum. A fiery comet tail of piercing Kraut flavored psych trails behind. The whistles of cosmic winds commingle with acid fury. 180-gram vinyl, heavy-duty gatefold jacket. Edition of 300.

FE-MAIL

Syklubb fra Hælvete

(TV5 - TV5002) Used LP $10.00

The 2002 debut release from the Norwegian duo of Maja Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjord of all-female avant-garde free-improvisation quartet Spunk. Improv with analog electronic gear, samplers, voice, harmonica, and miscellaneous acoustic instruments. Jacket has seam split on top. Pink vinyl.

FRED FRITH

(ReR Megacorp) Used CD $6.00

2008 reissue of Frith's mid-'80s pieces commissioned by choreographer Rosalind Newman. Guests include Henry Kaiser, John Zorn, Christian Marclay, Tenko. Still sealed but the barcode has been drilled, so we're listing at used.

BRUCE HAACK

The Electronic Record For Children

(King Record Co. - KICP2633) Used CD $20.00

Electronic music pioneer Bruce Haack and child educator Esther Nelson dive into the world of psychedelic music compositions designed to open the minds and hearts of 1969's young. Their far-out electronic music evokes a space age alternate universe. Joining them is pianist Praxietellis Pandit and the relaxed friend Chris on songs about everything from ancient folk tales to outerspace to what the world sounds like when you listen with your inner self. Japanese reissue from 2005.

BRUCE HAACK

The Way-Out Record For Children

(King Record Co. - KICP2632) Used CD $22.00

Heavy songs about robots, Indian mysticism, motorcycle-riding fantasies and other touchstones of any psychedelic masterpiece. Recorded in 1968, the music is all generated by Haack's homemade electronic instruments, which churn out proto-hip-hop beats and straight-up avant garde moments left and right, while the voices of the kids in Esther Nelson's community chime in here and there. The record ends with a haunting existential twist that leaves all free-thinkers screamin' for more. Japanese reissue from 2004.

CHRISTOPH HEEMAN / ANDREAS MARTIN

Lebenserinnerungen Eines Lepidopterologen

(Robot - RR20) Used 2xCD $15.00

A retrospective look at their early solo works, which move between minimalist guitar compositions, tape-music narratives, and cascading electronics. Includes Martin’s Doppelpunkt Vor Ort ten-inch (Robot Records 1993) and Heemann’s Über Den Umgang Mit Umgebung Und Andere Versuche ten-inch (Robot Records 1991), previously unreleased material, obscure seven-inch tracks, and their collaborative H.N.A.S. opus from Ach, Dieser Bart! LP (KK Records 1988). This is the 2010 edition, with two additional tracks not on Robot’s 1999 edition.

HIGH WOLF

Incapulco

(Sergent Massacre - BTR07) LP $16.00

(Sergent Massacre - BTR07) Used LP $10.00

Unmapped land, a place under mystic light accessible only via High Wolf’s fuzzy wah guitars, trancey keyboards, delayed vocals, groovy percussion and jungle spirit. This vinyl reissue of the CDR (Winged Sun 2009) was remastered by Pete Swanson. 180-gram vinyl.

HYPE WILLIAMS

Find Out What Happens When People Stop Being Polite, And Start Gettin Reel

(Destijl - IND088) Used LP $9.00

D. Blunt and Inga Copeland's latest installment in Denna Frances Glass's 18-year relay project. Joss Stone is alleged to have content and financing connections. "Ritolin" (sic) and "Rama Lama 555" (sic) also contain the key to understanding what this is. Joseph Stannard clears up some of the mystery, with the reminder that Hype Williams have also operated under the names Bo Khat Eternal Troof Family Band and Paradise Sisters. He observes that their “obscure, lo-fi form of dub-inflected half-pop [is] as much akin to the post-industrial funk of 23 Skidoo and early Cabaret Voltaire as the scratchy psych of The Skaters et al…. It’s like somebody flooded the wine bar with cough mixture…” all “hazy nihilism and sensual flow.” So give it up for Joseph Stannard.

MILOSLAV KABELAC / MAURICE OHANA

8 Inventions, op. 45 / 4 Choreographic Etudes

(Limelight) Used LP $10.00

The Percussions of Strasbourg formed in the early 1960s and devoted themselves to hitting stuff. Kabelec's Inventions was written for the sextet, a fairly rigorous composition that's all over the place with dynamics, rhythm, bells, Asian percussion, and mood being paramount. Performing Ohana's Etudes reworked for six percussionists and choreography (it was originally written for four), they achieve in the words of the composer "liberation from the diatonic framework, which is unsuitable for expressing contemporary sensibility." At various points, the group explores density, trance states in which one attains paroxysms of expression, distortion and splitting of harmonic sounds.

KARUNA KHYAL

Alomoni 1985

(Paradigm Discs - PD08) Used CD $15.00 (Out-of-stock)

A Japanese mystery of mind-bending iconoclasm from the mid-'70s and/or '80s. Enthralling Beefheart-like skronkadelia, with loops and tape rhythms, obsessive-compulsive vocals, out-of-control sound effects. Check your shorts for cake.

PETER KOWALD / TATSUYA NAKATANI

13 Definitions of Truth

(Quakebasket - QB17) Used CD $16.00

Captured live at BPM in New York City, drummer Nakatani and contrabassist Kowald's improvisations play more like meditations. From the quiet hum of the almost silent instruments to the chaotic swirl of the music itself the arrangements here hold the listener in their spell from start to finish. Unplayed CD with the barcode crossed out, so we're listing it at used.

MACHINE GUN TV

Go

(Public Eyesore - 96) Used CDR $5.00

Spastic sub-machinegun drum machine outbursts, random samples and squealing feedback noises. The secret bonus track is bass heavy electronic noise, marinated for a few weeks in reverb and dragged behind a car, rumbly, and lo fi.

MISFITS

Beware

(Plan 9) Used LP $20.00

Tracks from Bullet (Plan 9 1978) and Horror Business (Plan 9 1979), plus "Last Caress" and, not listed on the jacket, "Return of the Fly." Jacket has a small crease in lower left corner. Vinyl is unplayed.

MONOPOLY STAR CHILD SEARCHERS

Bamboo For Two

(Olde English Spelling Bee - OESB#53) Used LP $6.00

Exotic keyboard melodies by James Ferraro, Lieven Martens of Dolphins Into The Future, and Eva Van Deuren of Orphan Fairytale.

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.

KK NULL

Saishiyu Bushitsu

(Forced Exposure - FE-024) Used LP $10.00

1990 reissue of Null's second album (Nux Organization 1985), an Earth-devouring miasma of guitar, voice, and metal percussion. Spray-painted cover. Noticeable crease on right side of jacket. Vinyl is near-mint.

OUTER SPACE

Outer Space

(Arbor) Used LP $10.00

Electricity converted into acoustic pressure and potential; the melody of physics. Six recordings here, each a microcosmic illumination of the personal path of Emeralds' John Elliott. Clear vinyl. Edition of 650.

PIMP-AKTION SLUTGUN

Body Scrap

(Trash Ritual - TRASH047) LP $20.00

(Trash Ritual - TRASH047) Used LP $12.00

Harsh noise electronics from Ulex Xane (Streicher, Goldenrod, Thule Society), originally intended for release on Zero Cabal in 1999. A few promo copies were sent out packaged in hand-desecrated LP covers before the tape division closed up shop. After failed attempts at documentation, Trash Ritual comes to the rescue with this vinyl reissue. Expect the worst in the form of Pure sound wreckage, no synthesizers, no samplers and no digital / computer fuckery. Silkscreened fold-over cover with random escort service card pasted on the back (because you never know...).

PINK FLOYD

Meddle

(Capitol) Used CD $5.00

1992 remastered reissue. Sixteen-page color book.

PUFFY AMI YUMI

An Illustrated History

(Bar None - BRNCD128) Used CD $6.00

Infectious J-pop from 2002. Punched barcode.

STEVE RODEN

Translations & Articulations

(Griffin Contemporary Exhibitions) Used CD $15.00

Includes Of Space Enclosed By Planes Or Surfaces CD, but this is primarily a twenty-page catalog documenting Roden's titular installation from 1997. Color photographs and essays by Steve Roden, Christopher Miles and Brandon LaBelle. Edition of 966. The disc in mint, but there's some scuffing on the back cover of the catalog, so it's listed here as used.

WAYNE ROGERS

The Seven Arms of The Sun

(Twisted Village - TW1030) Used LP $40.00

Dark psychedelic intensity from 1994, between the Crystalized Movements slow dissolve and the quick ascent of Magic Hour. Chaotic and noisy feedback psych crossed with quieter, more contemplative zoning.

MICHAEL ROTHER

Flammende Herzen

(4 Men With Beards) Used LP $8.00

2010 reissue of the first solo album (Sky 1977) by your man from Neu! and Kraftwerk. Rother's signature guitar sound is all over this visionary record of outerworldly anthemic melodies, propelled by the mechanical percussion of Can's Jaki Liebzeit.

SKIN GRAFT

Blackout

(Tusco Embassy) Used LP $10.00

Eight tracks of abrasive, negatively charged scum electronics. Perfectly disgusting and abusive. Hand screen-printed second edition of 200.

SLAPP HAPPY

Acnalbasac Noom

(ReR Megacorp - RERSHCD) Used CD $10.00

Slapp Happy (Peter Blegvad, Dagmar Krause and Anthony Moore) joined by four of six members of Faust as their backup band. Tracks 1 to 11 recorded at Wümme, West Germany, 1973. Tracks 12 to 15 are CD bonus tracks from the private collection of the group. CD is new, sealed in the original shrinkwrap, but has a small hole drilled in one corner of the jewelbox, so it is listed here as Used.

SONGS OF NORWAY

Despite The Cloak

(Beta Lactam Ring - BLR058a) Used LP $10.00 (Out-of-stock)

Aaron Moore and Nick Mott, both of Volcano The Bear, are joined by Stewart Brackley and VTB’s Daniel Padden in this dynamic use of space, noise and texture. Their improv moves from disparate, thin conversations to solid swingers, performed with brilliant drumming, strings, guitar, and more. Pressed on 220-gram vinyl (way too heavy for the thin jacket, unfortunately, which bears the evidence with creases up and down the left side). Vinyl is pristine, but we’re listing as used because of the jacket. With two color inserts. Edition of 400.

SORIAH

Offrendas de Luz a Los Muertos

(Beta Lactam Ring - NEGRO33) Used CD $12.50

Noise technician Power Circus slices old bones into Soriah's power electronics scrimshaw. "Sonically devastating," and comparable in its "operatic qualities" to MB, Hafler Trio and New Blockaders. Edition of 300 numbered and signed copies.

JESSE STEWART

Music for Found Objects

(C3R - C3R009) Used CD $8.00

Well-regarded Canadian jazz percussionist gives a good whack to water, metal and stone. Downtown Yawnsville, right? Guess again. Manipulated salad bowls floating in a bath tub. The sonic capabilities of canoe paddles. Building bells approximated with a mallet and a 50-inch length of galvanized steel sliding through Stewart's fingers. Marble tables and air pockets. Detailed liner notes.

SUICIDE

Suicide

(Ze - ILPS7007) Used LP $35.00

Produced by Ric Ocasek, the second album by Martin Rev and Alan Vega retains the monotonous urgency that defined Suicide as a pacesetter two years prior, though Rev's thrift-store electronics bear the somewhat slicker imprimatur of pop production. Vega's madcap vocal performances blast street atmosphere into the mix. A starry-eyed fascination with fame and riches is evident here, which is strangely in line with the band's blighted vision -- the daydreams of a rotter gone sour, a haunting and ultra-sedated exploration of self-defeat. UK pressing from 1980.

SUNROOF

Cloudz

(VHF - VHF75) Used CD $6.00

Layers of twinkling keyboard, guitar, unidentified fuzz, short wave, etc., very much in the style of Harmonia and Cluster in spots. There are a couple of amped-up moments here and there, including surprise lead guitar action on "Tornado Rose Canoe," and the excellent fuzz-grilled rock of "Primavera." According to no less of an authority than Neil Campbell, Cloudz is "the best Sunroof ever."

SWANS

Real Love

([ no label ]) Used LP $40.00

Recorded February through April 1986 live in Europe. "Psychic suffering [and] extremely powerful," says J. Eric Smith. " 'A Hanging' ... invokes the pain-maddened damned as [Swans] trudge endlessly through chest-deep gullies of shit, calling for God's forgiveness, recognizing (finally, too late) that no one needs His mercy more than they do." Single hand-numbered copy in stock (#502).

MASAYUKI TAKAYANAGI

Action Direct

(Tiliqua - TIL5001) CD $20.00

(Tiliqua - TIL5001) Used CD $15.00

Nine tracks that freak out, whisper funk, scream, stomp, and storm with abandon, always on the first and only take. The capacity of the riffs and grooves to mimic German prog bands of the same era, psychedelic rock bands of several years previous, or the as-yet-uncreated avant sounds from the indie rock movement a decade away is demonstrates Takayanagi's profound connection to the source of human inspiration itself.

GHÉDALIA TAZARTÈS

Repas Froid

(Pan - PAN17) LP $27.00 (Out-of-stock)

(Tanzprocesz - TP7) Used CD $10.00

An extraordinary combination of culled found and taped fragments juxtaposed against drums, field recordings and mystery noises, sound loops, birdsong, keyboards and Tazartès's throaty drones and voice propelled by hypnotic, ritualistic rhythms balanced on a razor sharp edge. Pan's LP is the complete work of Repas Froid, including archival and previously unreleased recordings from the late 1970s and early 1980s, strung together to form two long compositions (the CD edition on Tanzprocesz is brief tracks of source material and a palette of various sounds). A French musician of Turkish parentage, Tazartès is an uncompromising character who defies categorization. Born 1947 in Paris, he's one of France's most idiosyncratic talents. He has spent over 30 years within musical practice and experimentation, letting his musical work wander from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. Utilizing magnetic tape recorders into a rough collage and loose ethno-instrumental mulch, he paves the way for the electric and the vocal paths, between the muezzin psalmody and the screaming of a rocker. He traces vague landscapes where the mitre of the white clown, the plumes of the sorcerer, the helmet of a cop and Parisian anhydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies. 140-gram vinyl, color jacket, silkscreened PVC sleeve. Edition of 500.

TEARIST

Living 2009 - Present

(Thin Wrist - TWLR1) LP $15.00

(Thin Wrist - TWLR1) Used LP $10.00

Building on songs driven by intense vocals and synths, performances by Los Angeles underground duo Yasmine Kittles and William Strangeland are notorious for depth of physicality and directness. Their debut full-length album is a rough, raw document taken from audience recordings - multiple versions and performance tapes are spliced, mashed, layered, collapsed and collaged on this organically flowing album, at once a sideways introduction to Tearist’s devastating performances and a nod to semi-legendary live cassettes and bootlegs. Think of it as a sort of Sonic Death, 2 x 4, or Metallic K.O. for today, or maybe 23 Minutes Over Brussels via Los Angeles. This is immediate and unpolished live sound as a means to an intimate and transcendent experience.

THIS HEAT

This Heat

(This Is - THISIS1) Used CD $15.00

One of the docents at All Music Guide offers this sober perspective: "[This Heat's] self-titled debut is a radical conglomeration of progressive rock, musique concrète, free improvisation, and even -- in a bizarre distillation -- aspects of British folk can be heard in Charles Hayward's singing." This is a sealed copy, though we're listing it as a used CD because it has a drill hole in the upper right corner.

MOE TUCKER

MoeJadKateBarry

(50 Skidillion) Used LP $20.00

No shortage of energy on this EP, recorded in a single six-hour session in 1987 with Jad Fair of 1/2 Japanese. Green vinyl. Autographed jacket.

ROBERT TURMAN

Way Down

(Dais - DAIS017) Used LP $15.00

Robert Turman’s industrial genre-bending masterpiece, previously released on cassette (Actual Tapes 1987). Turman was the other half of NON, alongside Boyd Rice, together releasing the Mode of Infection / Knife Ladder single in 1977. After parting ways, Turman went on to self-release cassettes, including Way Down which uses synthesizer arrangements and drum machines along side guitar solos, piano chords, tape loops and primitive sampling to produce dance-like minimal synth blended with industrial darkwave noise. Turman resurfaced in 2005 in collaboration with Aaron Dilloway. Hand-numbered 265/500.

VOLCANO THE BEAR

Classic Erasmus Fusion

(Beta Lactam Ring - MT092a) Used 2xCD $15.00

The strange geometry in Volcano The Bear's musique concrete lurks between celestial duck honks and what sounds like a flood in the living room. Disc number one births gently into a lo-fi-adelic Comus-like saline. Song becomes fever dream and then pitches into a barren place of low estate. With typical minimalist pageantry, VTB mutates from piece to piece: melodious tales are subliminally hooky, after a fashion, spiritual and surreal; quiet ritualism queues with dada and progressive harmonies, together on the same fractured, out world, sing-along journey. Disc number two crawls slowly from the echo-y ooze, grows legs and then presents a different, more dramatic creature. A long, shifting organ drone becomes a deeply psychedelic statement that bleats loud and strong like an acid bleached Spiral Insana or a sneaky This Heat.

TASHI WADA

Alignment

(Yik Yak - 018) Used LP $8.00

A pairing of the direct and retrograde motions of an eight-violin canon in just intonation, played my Marc Sabat (all eight parts), cycling through the first 128 pitches of the harmonic series transposed into one octave. Cover designed and screen-printed by Alan Sherry. Includes a letterpress print of a type drawing by Wada. Edition of 400.

WOLF EYES

Wolf Eyes

(Bulb - BLB069) Used CD $8.00 (Out-of-stock)

An early Wolf Eyes artefact, from a pre-glam era when it was owned and operated by the duo of Aaron Dilloway and Nathan Young. Loved for its knowing glances to Throbbing Gristle, admired for its Suicide innuendo, revered for its sinister, stripped down, lo-fi atmospheres.

RICHARD YOUNGS

Sapphie

(Oblique) Used CD $12.00

The 1998 fifth solo album by the man described by a sensitive romantic at Melody Maker as “grand-meister of contemporary British improv, spiritual son of Eddie Prévost and Maddy Prior; gentle manipulator of English hymn-notics and religious incantations … poet-seducer of souls.” Classical guitar and voice that fans of reclusive sages like Nick Drake, Anne Briggs and Robert Wyatt will appreciate.
