Live '418
(Holy Mountain - 17) LP $15.00
Controlled panic by this Tokyo trio who are sure to spike the tongues of all those who purport to talk about the rock. It is primal, punk, eerie, harsh, vicious psychedelic no wave from start to finish.
Fragments of the Marble Plan
(Holy Mountain - 1986) LP $17.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING IN APRIL. Music as apocalyptic as Fragments of the Marble Plan has few peers, but some approximate touchstones are the most radically out and knotty moments of Norwegian post-jazz ensemble Supersilent, This Heat after realizing that Brise-Glace didn’t pay them a penny in royalties, or Farmers Manual after extensive immersion in Mainliner’s back catalog. Fragments of the Marble Plan is a terrifying force of nature, a Rube Goldberg machine run amok, the sound of civilization atomizing into controlled chaos. It’s so cold, it’s hellish. Although Aufgehoben feels your need for catharsis, they convince you that being ready to jump out of your skin is the new normal. Includes download coupon.
The Mystical Path of the Number Eighty Six
(Holy Mountain - 8655) LP $20.00
Released in 1997, following Steven Wray Lobdell's release from a mental institution. Heavy psychedelic guitar compositions -- think Takayanagi Masayuki backed by a Crazy Horse-like force attempting Sun Ra's "The Invisible Shield" with organ, analog synth and various other electronics.
The Coast Explodes
(Holy Mountain - 8516) LP $15.00
Their second album straddles the line between psychedelia and hard rock while introducing more progressive aspects, influenced by both the power and complexity of the natural world and the ongoing battles of light and darkness.
