DJ Yo-Yo Dieting - Severed Complexion Mix
Time to crack on then.
The Superstar DJ in question is Pat Maher. A genius that shares a peculiar orbit with Mike Ridge's Zebra Mu. Admittedly, so far, that only exists inside my own head.
A CDr released on Cherried-Out Merch in an edition of fuck all in 2008.

E.E.E. - Found Documents 1984-1992
The E's are good in question are "officially" Ella Einsmire and Elliot Einsmire. British twins that made noise music and then moved to Texas to make some more. Tragically Elliot died in 1997, leaving Ella to pursue the noise mission alone.
The unfortunate truth is that none of that can be true. Nobody over here had ever heard of them and they don't appear in any meaningful way on t'interweb. Also, nobody over here makes wall noise like this and certainly never did in the titular dates. What am I? Some kind of mug that believes for a second that there are two Rupeni? For me, it's another one of Richard's ciphers and that is always a good thing in any right thinking world!
A four CDr set released on Deadline Recordings in 2014.

Freddy Fresh - Chupacabbra
In a change from our usual sponser: I've loved Freddy Fresh for creeping on 30 years. Only saw him play out live once ... I think it was about 1999 in Liverpool on the Friday at the place that did Creamfields at the weekend. The only place I've been offered speedballs for sale on the way in ... but that's the scousers for you! Anyway ... fucking adorable latino hip house hop tech with the big beat bonus of Bassbin Twins / Propeller Heads remixes.
The expanded CD EP released on the magnificent Harthouse label in 1997.

Effectively, the launch party at Shinjuku Loft, Tokyo, for the original release of Zouroku No Kibyou in 1982.
Originally a self-released VHS in 1982, this is the DVDr reissue on Alchemy Music Store from 2008.

Sun City Girls - Superpower
Eclipse Records put out some brilliant double LP SCG releases that were as close as it gets to the Cloaven's seeing a reissue. I bought all of that vinyl and then they went bankrupt so that mission was unexpectedly terminated so not all of it escaped.
However, there is the common reissue misconception ... as beautiful as they are, they are edits. The first two tapes come in at around 140 minutes and that doesn't fit on four sides of vinyl. If anyone wants it, I'll post the corresponding Eclipse vinyl so you can compare and contrast.
Anyway ... "An equatorial collective improvisation recorded live in 1982 and informative disinformation financed by short-wave overload with text excerpts from Myron Fagen circa 1967. Recorded August 1982 live at Merlin's."
The second of the Cloaven Cassettes released in 1987.

Sun City Girls - God Is My Solar System
Shall we go in this direction for a while?
"A collection of early Sun City Girls recordings, mostly improv-diverse.... a sign of things to follow although unique in comparison to later works."
The first of the Cloaven Cassettes ... a C60 released in 1987.

Brume - Erzatz #0 / Tout
Paraphrasing Mrs Inside from when she posted this here in late 2013: notionally, this is a continuation of the Anthology Box that reissues material from 1994, 1995 and 1998. Disc 1 features tracks from cassette tapes, disc 2 reissues an album that initially appeared as a very small-run CDr in an oversized hand-painted sleeve.
2xCD released in 2008 by the Russian label Waystyx in an edition of 212. It's another lossless upgrade if you like that kind of thing.

Kevin Blechdom / Eugene Chadbourne - The Chaddom Blechbourne Experience
A very long time ago, I was much younger than I am now. I was lucky enough to have been so fucked up by the "adults in the room" that I was elevated into the orbits of others who had no other option but to celebrate the dys in function. The Fall's Witch Trials at 13, Motorhead's Ace tour at the Apollo at 14 ... and then the Iron Fist tour fuelled on cider and mushrooms. Not forgetting trying to get your head around Trout Mask and Freak Out (by choice) when you are fifteen. On reflection, not a bad call for escape-route and it set me in good stead during the fuck you wars.
However, nothing really compares to the first time the needle hits the opening groove of a Shockabilly LP when you didn't even know that they existed! The brain recalibration takes years to recover from because nothing could possibly remain the same. It's like some poor fucker who has spent his time with his family endorsing him being touched up by the hand of god realising that Day Tripper was the only way to the truth. Well it is. Plain and simple! Well that truth anyway.
Here, Kevin is actually Kristin Erickson who records different work in her own right. This live recording is full on duelling banjos ahoy with covers of The Beach Boys and Pink Floyd that need to be heard to be believed ... in a good way.
For no particular reason, I'm feeling reflective. I spent nearly all of my formative years being smacked around the place and sleeping rough. Now, through life choices, I'm sitting here in a house that serves as a sanctuary for stray and "rescued" cats. I also get to sit here saying to whoever is out there "you really need to hear Eugene and Kristen covering Astronomy Domine" as a way to get the entire thing heard ... there is so much genius here!
Life sometimes turns out to be quite good and most often it's better than the alternative.
A CD released on Les Disques Victo in 2008 "recorded live at the 2007 24e Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville. Includes traditional and contemporary medleys with banjo, piano and voice."

Brume - Anthology Box
A friend of ours was looking for a way to start exploring the cavernous Brume archive. Well, this is as good a place to start as any.
Mrs Inside posted this here over nine years ago: "A massive, 13-CD boxset of outsider musique concrete by autodidact Christian Renou, compiling his earliest unreleased bloops from 1979, plus a few out-of-print cassettes and CDRs dusted off and brought back to life. This hefty thing was released in an edition of just 100 copies by the Russian label Waystyx, which specialized in creative handmade and odd-size packaging".
This is a lossless version if you fancy an upgrade.

非常階段 - Legendary Live Collection Of Hijokaidan Vol.6 - 極悪ライブ’81
This just crashes straight into the carnage. Not sure that if it is as intented or the original VHS source didn't stand muster. Who cares?

Eugene Chadbourne / John Zorn - School
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there was a seperatist pod of aesthetes clicking their tentacles whilst imagining "these earth bound unsyncopated jazz cats are way hap". Prove me wrong.
A double LP released on Eugene's Parachute in 1978.

Musique Concret - Bringing Up Baby
Musique Concret were Jim Friedman and Michael Mullen who made one seminal piece of industrial electronic history and buggered off. It was released on Steven Stapleton’s label United Dairies and a convenient signifier would be early NWW with a fair chunck of what is on his list. Apparently, once they made and released the art they destroyed the master tapes and faded away into the so-called real world. Initially released as an LP in 1981 with a short tape reissue in 1987 and that appeared to be that ...
Then the lovely people behing Fractal Records sourced a mint vinyl copy of a holy relic (presumably courtesy of Matron Stapleton) and reissued it as a CD in 2004. It rapidly disappeared again and presumably would never get another formal release ... so, drumroll please:

Eugene Chadbourne - Country Music In The World Of Islam Volume XV
Plain and simple: I adore Eugene Chadbourne.
I've only been lucky enough to see him play once ... thirty plus years ago alongside Jimmy Carl Black (but it wasn't billed as a Jack and Jim Show). I actually got to see the only Indian in the group one more time as part of The Muffin Men (very enjoyable it was too). Anyway ... Eugene has some friends on board this time as well.
LP released on Fundamental in 1989.

The Gerogerigegege - Piss Shower Girlfriend
A lovely picture disc LP from Juntaro and, as usual, the version that he handed out to Japanese shops came with a bonus CDr ... not seen that yet. I tried splitting the tracks but there was more than a degree of guesswork involved and it interfered with the urinary flow so I've left it as a two track wav rip.
A classy LP released on F.O.A.D. Records in 2020

Jojo Hiroshige with Masonna - The Last Destruction Noise
You could be forgiven for thinking that Jojo starts off as an SCG tribute act (well not really). Then everything gets turned up to eleventy and it goes off. This time the audience don't run away and are rewarded by leaving with bits of the proceedings once it's been smashed up by a singing baseball bat and a breezeblock. Happy Sunday everyone!
