BH-20 Josh Lay - Asphyxiation Worship 7" $6.66 Half of Candaver in Drag gets his first shot at vinyl by way of a single. Two tracks, rather different from each other, and much of the artist's other releases. Overall a cleaner, and more realized sound. Vocals come to the front, with lyrical structure on the first track, the b-side is a journey into the darkest of swamps, yet it still retains the feeling of being a beautiful yet frightening collage of sound with a higher degree of fidelity than what is usually associated with similar efforts. Black vinyl with an offset printed 3-panel sleeve, copper ink on either black or cream stock, printed in roughly a 50/50 ratio, pick which color you like more! Edition of 350 copies. |

BH-21 Wyrm - aaf C40 regular edition $7.50 Sparse is about the best adjective one could use to sum up this release from Allan Zane's Wyrm. Much is occupied by wind sound and silence, broken up by abrupt tones, repetitive treated industrial loops, slowly swirling electronic pools, and hollow vacuums, but somewhere hidden among all of this there is a joyous kind of beauty and celebration that will bring you back for repeated listens. Deluxe packaging, comes inside a jewelery box with a white feather, all silver paper with digital black printing for the paste on, insert, and a cross-shaped tape wrap that is tied up in a black ribbon. Stamped a-side labels by the artist, with b-side abstraction. Edition of 93 on hi-bias chrome tapes.

BH- 16 My Cat Is An Alien / Valerio Cosi "Stories From The Vacuum" split 7" $6.00 A truly ethereal pairing from Italy. While MCIAA has already established a massive offering in all formats, this 7"is Valerio's first vinyl appearance proper. His side is dominated by free jazz sax loops and trance vocals, with moments of twinkling percussion and electronic euphoria. An amalgamation of improv styles pulled off in a way only Valerio can. On the flip is a beautiful example of the lush guitar ambiance, wordless vocals, and alien space toy sound effects that the Opalio brothers are known for.

BH-14 Pulse Emitter / Envenomist split C46 7.50 Two side-long tracks occupy this release. Both artists here move through dark immersing synthesized environments. Pulse Emitter provides a more barren yet varied track that has movement. Also of note to fans of Daryl's "Meditative Music" release, this has similar yet more ominous tones that create a slowly moving melody.

The BSBC does Anakrid side is 2 tracks, the first sounds like having the gates of hell slam shut on your head five hundred times as demons circle about.

BH-01 - A Sleeping Irony - Your Concrete Eyes 7" $4.00 Three tracks recorded in 2005. 3 color silkscreen covers on grey vinyl in an edition of 500 copies. Here is a review of so you know what it sounds like - "Here's some screamy modern hardcore of the darkest variety. The A side is "Your Concrete Eyes", a dirgy, heavy sludgepunk blast with nasty ripped-throat shrieks and splattered in waves of feedback delay. Side B opens with "Cancer Is The Cure", an apocalyptic tantrum of blackened metalcore and crushing riffage ending in brutal noise spasm, and closes with the scratchy,crackling loops and awesomely messy grindthrash of "Step Off The Corpse Path", complete with a bass guitar breakdown that made me want to tear the walls down. Definitely one of the best hardcore EP's I've laid my mitts on in 2005, falling somewhere between modern metallic 'core and TRAGEDY/FROM ASHES RISE crust epics but with some vicious noise and feedback abuse added for good measure. Mastered by Jim Plotkin (OLD, KHANATE), and comes housed in a super nice silkscreened sleeve with neat ink interplay/graphics." |

Altar Of Flies "...Hate This City" 7" (Daisy Cutter Records) $9.00 Limited to 100 copies. From Smooth Assailing Blog; "there's no playing speed listed for this seven; when in doubt play it fast! this sounds right. it did sound cool at 33 rpm, though. ...hate this city is a pretty fucking sick piece of wax and features really nice cover art by mattias frisk. soundwise, this is experimental noise in a darker, tormented vein. the a-side's title track starts off with terrific bursts of random noise paired with noise emanating from mattias' affected vocals. it will start to settle a bit into squealing electronics and a grinding noise which kicks open the door for a denser layer of distortion. i really love that fucking grinding sound. eventually, the sound will gel even more as it rides atop a great pulsating tone, pervasive electronic buzz and plenty of teetering distortion. |

Anakrid "Pos-Load: Nihilsurrealisme" one-sided 12" (Stereonucleosis) $17.00 "Yet another ridiculously limited release by Anakrid, this one going out to all the bug chasers in the world. Chris Bickel and someone under the name K. E. Revis (hah) apply old-school tape collage, Japanese power electronics worship, and legitimately hard, paranoid "emo violence" to this one, and the result is the most intense Anakrid release to date. If you have been longing for the visceral noise side of Bickel's legendary hardcore act In/Humanity (the "trilogy" from their second album comes to mind), you'll find its spirit here, amid a nearly impenetrable wall of panic. Miles away from the opaque drones of the last few records, this one's a statement of outrage, and I know of more than one sordid little online communities to which you could couple this up with a nauseating read. I won't trouble you with those details, though. Best not to ruin another life. Numbered edition of 100 copies, in the same style of spraypainted, textured sleeve that the last one came in." -Dusted Magazine |

Black To Comm & Datashock collaboration CDr (Ikuisuus) $10.00 "Incredible, spooky-spiritual-drone masterpiece by the most hip German experimentalists Black to Comm (Mark Richter) and the free-noise group Datashock companied by new member Marcel Türkowsky. Here all together creating a flavor of blissen alien soundscapes, whirling on, changing and evolving all the time, generating hyperzonic tensions inside the crown-chakra so long that the eyes start to see pulsating flames inside and outside your imagination. Rich in Colour of sound and for sure not a restless headfuck, but a stony stoned psychedelic vibration of something spiritually exciting, something which reminds the outer inner worlds, and how close they are. The fog of the lake & the ghosts of the forgotten old new days. Recorded nearby Berlin's Goldmund festival in August 2007, in a place which used to be a summercamp for kids in the times of GDR the point which alone may cause the climbing in such a mystical level. Peaceful & strange at the same time." |

Drunjus "Thorn Shield" LP (Earjerk) $18.00 Great Handmade packaging, this LP has that modern private press feel down. What the label had to say; "... two killer journeys... Drencrom and Relax, Hunter. Both recorded live. One side completely in the analog realm; from the boys'cassette deck straight to 180 gram black wax. Strictly limited to 300 copies. Hand screened on thrifted album covers turned inside out. No two alike. Side A - 'Drencrom' is a sideways drift through the earths crust which confirms that the core truly is molten. Upon reching their destination,Drunjus bore a hole straight to the center of your brain. Live at the infamous Wisco Biker Bar...Side B -'Relax Hunter' is a more galactic affair. With enough molten fuel to get their ship airborn, Drunjus escape the atmosphere and enter a 300 year cryogenic sleep... co-released with Tree Tapes..." |

Gasp "An Earwig's Guide to Traveling" CD (Avant Garde Farm / Capibara) $10.00 "An Earwig's Guide to Traveling is a new CD collection of previously out-of-print and unreleased material by the Southern California band Gasp (1996-1999). Gasp used elements of grindcore, power violence, psych, ambient noise, tape manipulations and down-tuned sludge to create a sound that will never be duplicated. They released records on some of the most influential punk and hardcore labels of the past decade, including Slap a Ham, Witching Hour, Clean Plate, and Deep Six. Their split records paired them with a diverse set of innovative bands (Volume Eleven, Noothgrush, Deerhoof, & Suffering Luna). Most of this material has been unavailable for years after the vinyl pressings quickly sold out. This CD includes all of the songs from Gasp's split records as well as tracks from compilations and demos - every official release except for the Slap a Ham LP. As a bonus the CD features the first chance to hear the four songs from Gasp's unreleased "Lepidostomatid" EP. " |

Government Alpha "The Day Of The Light Crimson" C20 (Cipher Productions) $9.00 "20 minutes of brand new ferocity from Yasutoshi Yoshida. ‘The Day Of The Light Crimson’ in part harkens back to Government Alpha’s late 1990s cassette output on Xerxes, its extended opening and closing tracks offering a more primal, wall-ish shove of noise than has been the usual case over the last few years. The middle tracks bend in the alternate direction, each an exaggerated hit of psychedelic electronics screech. It all adds up to another excess of flavoured harshness from one of Japan’s top current noise exponents." |

The Grass Magic S/T LP (Earjerk) $18.00 I think with a project name like that, featuring said members, you basically know what you are getting right? Again, cool handmade packaging from this label, their description; "This LP features members of the Skaters, Jewelled Antler Collective and Davenport, all kicking up dust in a rickety old barn. A spontaneous happening, the few hazy nights leading up to PastureFest 2004 may not be easily recalled, but the christening sounds, emenating from a ramshackle farm in the vales of southeast Wisconsin, are imprinted here on this unassuming LP. Featuring an alternate B-side jam (of music pulled from the same session) not found on the cassette version. Otherworldly and just down right cosmic!" |

Growing "Live" 2xLP (Conspiracy Records) $25.00 Limited live 2xLP, in a nice thick gatefold, imported from Europe. 72 mins. of material, two complete shows. Here is what Aquarius had to say; “While Growing continually return to that near-ambient tranquility, the record is a series of meandering excursions into MASSIVE slow motion, melted-riff soundscapes, notes and chords unfurl impossibly slowly, as if someone had doubled the gravity and the sound waves were actually visible, drizzling lazily to the floor like molasses or honey, rich golden globs of thick distorted throb. Like Earth and Skullflower meshed into one buzzing blurry soundfield, all muted melody and crunchy riffage, a pulsing swirl of feedback and guitarral grrrr! The sound is basically phenomenal…” |

Hair Police / Crystal Fantasy split 10" (Liquid Death / Hello Pussy Records) $13.00 "lexington, kentucky's hair police are one of the most progressive and productive thrashy noise bands out there. if you've experienced them live, then you know that already! with a steady flow of head banging, noise rawkin releases on various labels (gods of tundra, animal disguise, load, freedom from, etc.), hair police have been steadily carving a niche into the noise/experimental music community. being witness to one wild chicago ride, we watched in absolute amusement as hair police took the stage and one by one destroyed everyone in the room (as well as themselves...) being torn limb from limb after walking on the hands of the crowd like clouds and then dropping the doom storm from above. totally out of control, and totally rad! on their side of this split 10" with crystal fantasy, hair police contribute 1 single nasty track entitled "straps and straps". mike connelly had this to say about it: "it's gnarly fucked up. no drums. just a really sick searing drip of the inside of a carcass." we agree! this sick pile will whip and beat your skull upon each repeated listen. do yourself a favor and get abused! let the gnarly times roll... |

irr. app. (ext.) "Perekluchenie" LP (Beta-lactam Ring Records) $15.00 "Behind every ambiguously pronounced name lies an ambiguously pronounced sense of purpose. In other words: who can say what is really going on here? Whatever it is, it is delightfully dada. irr. app. (ext.) remain more concrete (i.e. musique) than a rusting parking structure on a windy day. Music does occasionally spill out from the crisp snips and gravel, but it is only as one other element in an overall sound construct. Here, no-music IS the music! Get it? Now go read some John Cage. The simplicity of a burbling stream washes out of a reverberation of flange. Voices are air dropped into the squeaking remnants of things left decaying in the basement. Small noises are looped and heaped upon one another, evoking a temporarily quiet cacophony that is sloooowly faaaaded ooooout in favour of a slooowly faaaaaded iiiin drones vs frogs episode. One thinks lovingly on Hafler Trio, P16.D4, NWW, Chris Watson, etc. Put your Irr. to the App. and get (Ext.)!" |
