Father Moo & The Black Sheep - Father Moo & The Black Sheep


AMCD-006

"Cult trip document by Father Moo and his handmaidens. Demonic scriptures of dubious eroticism and cultism, performed by the heretical guru Father Moo and his female disciples. Minimal acoustic works using just female chanting and drones."

Tsurubami - Tenkyo No To


AMCD-005

"The return of the mysterious group that Makoto Kawabata led at the same time as his involvement with Toho Sara. The group were known for their unique practice of the Chinese concepts of yin/yang and the Five Elements in order to discover the shugen-on-a-sound that travel back to the universal source of all things. Is the enlightened rapture found in the depths of the ruins the ultimate psychedelia?"

Kawabata Makoto - Mizu Naranu Ao Ni Sae / Kawabata Makoto guitar solo 1


First cdr released on the Acid Mothers Temple label as part of their "Gold Disc Series" editions.

"When we set up the Acid Mothers Temple label in January 1998, cdrs were still an unusual format. We didn't have the money to do conventional pressings of our music at the time, but this new format allowed us to set up the label and release whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. We thought that at most there would be only a hundred people in the world who would want to hear our music, which was why we decided to do releases in editions of 100. Recently we have started the NEW GOLD DISC SERIES, and the original GOLD DISC SERIES is now defunct." Little did the world (or AMT) realise what would be unleased upon the world!

"First collection of solo guitar works by Kawabata Makoto. Dazzling music for the temporal world, overflowing with a sense of pellucidity totally different from his work with Musica Transonic."

Kay Lawrence - Gills Cut Into Women


Kay Lawrence is the collaborative work of Cristiano Renzoni and Sam McKinlay. Again this is an LP released on Urashima...an edition of 99 from 2011.

Cristiano (aka Alo Girl) also runs Urashima. I can't think of a label that releases so much high quality noisework so consistently. The commitment is to vinyl. The commitment is to quality. Art and artifact! The rips of the vinyl do not do the label's work justice. Trust me ... I own a lot of it ...

The future is black...The future is (black) vinyl!

Vice Wears Black Hose - Part 5


You should already know that VWBH are Richard Ramirez and Sam McKinlay.

This is a 7" released as part of an ultra expensive subscription series from the stunningly effective Urashima label. There were only 20 copies of this for sale...weep at the limited opportunity to hold this.

Tzomborgha has already posted Parts 3 and 4.

Stabat Mors - Struktur Mit Dominante - Soniche Kritik Funktionalistischer Vernunft


Stabat Mors is the noise work of Christian Koehler. There are reasons why I don't want to comment so much. I don't want to colour your opinion if this is your first encounter. See what you think.

Cdr on Recordings For The Summer from 2004.

Rodger Stella / Leslie Keffer - Remixes Brine & Devastates


Double CDR released on Action Claw Records in 2006.

Rodger Stella is one half of Macronympha whilst Leslie Keffer just IS!

In a weird piece of synchronicity, I uploaded this last night to post today only to find that Static Fanatic has posted Brine today. Great minds and all that...

Pop Culture Rape Victim - Various Attempts At Redemption


Pop Culture Rape Victim (or you will find recordings as PCRV) is the work of Matt Taggart. During the intermission, I started pulling things off the shelves that I hadn't heard for a while. Time well spent.

Matt always throws out varied noise offerings...this is no exception, from the vaguely psych veering towards HNW territory.

Double cdr on dollfullofrivets from 2007. The label was run by Erik Arteaga aka Nkondi. Eric and label appear to have ceased...unless you know otherwise...?

Drowner Yellow Swans - Drowner Yellow Swans


Yellow Swans were Gabriel Mindel Saloman and Pete Swanson. More often than not, the band name was preceded by a "D" word...this time around it's "Drowner".

This was released as a C60 tape on Tape Room in 2007...and later released on the same label the following year as a cdr. This is the tape...like you care!

Somebody dropped a comment in the YS post from waaaaay back asking for this one. I had it ready for posting prior to the "death". Well, I hadn't forgotten and now it's here.

The Rita - The Nylons Of Laura Antonelli


Sam McKinley presents his fascination with stockings and Italian actress Laura Antonelli. A proclivity that I have some sympathy with.

"Recorded live using various mic'd styles of women's nylon stockings. Methodical dwelling on the different densities of the nylons via classic harsh noise instrumentation. Stockings, eye liner, eye shadow, and mascara - the abstraction and deconstruction of the female form."

Eight C30 tapes released in 2009 in a tiny edition of 49 copies on the (very recently deceased) Utmarken label.

Thank you Utmarken!!!

I Think That I've Thought Enough!


I've got to say that having two years of time and effort erased in one second broke my heart. I needed a bit of "me time" in order to (as Mutant Sounds so eloquently put it) lick my wounds.

If I'm a pirate...piracy is in really bad shape. The mission is the same. Songs from under the floorboards...music you would probably never have heard before...seriously limited releases that disappear into private collections, played once or twice and shelved forever...links to artists and labels...and some things that you will hate but may become your new favourite thing...or some things that will just irritate you!

If I ruled the world, this stuff would be pumped out to infants to raise them away from popular "culture".

Thanks to the people that felt strongly enough to post a comment of encouragement. Especially Aaron...that one meant a lot! Big love (as always) goes to David Payne for giving me the Über-supportive / optimistic shot in the arm that I really needed. There are others and you know who you are! And...the three people who joined after the blog was killed...how's that for hope over expectation!?!

In a few days, I'm planning a post that will probably dislocate the lower jaw of the noiseheads amongst us. At that point, the January 2012 and December 2011 posts will also be back up. Please understand the work that has already gone into posting what has been deleted. Requests for other re-ups from "anonymous" and "guest" are liable to be completely ignored. Get Engaged!

Even so, we live in uncertain times and I'm loathe to put too much time in when filehosts are likely to disappear one by one. The subtext is clear...there's an american election coming and the big-money backers are flexing their muscles. In doing so, they will take out people like us!

Either way...we start again...and again...and...

That's all folks?

Yeah...Megaupload has been taken down!

Not convinced I can be arsed with reuploading everything and switching filehost and all that jazz!

I need a bit of time to think about this. If I don't come back...I hope you enjoyed the ride whilst it lasted!

God Bless America
