Crank Sturgeon - De-Buttes

Action-packed noise, recorded live over college radio by Crank Sturgeon in 1997 and self-released as a cassette in a trash package. Supposedly features sound contributions from Macronympha and someone called Southern Man, whoever that is. Lots of relentlessly manic energy and contact-mic foolishness.

Various - Spiral Organ Of Corti

This compilation really shouldn't work. Con-Dom alongside Crank Sturgeon? You also get Contagious Orgasm, Thirdorgan, Deutsch Nepal, raison d'être and Salt alongside the otherwise unknown Kings Of High Frequency. Rest assured, it works.

Double C60 released on Hiroshi Hashimoto's (aka Contagious Orgasm's) SSSM in 1995.

Various - The End Of The Fear Of God

On here, we start with good intentions and real plans. Then one of us drafts a post and it blows it all out of the water and we're off in another direction. It's all a bit When Harry Met Sally meets Thelma And Louise. So, if you don't like this then A: what are you doing here? and B: It's all her fault!

69 artists across 70 minutes on this CD released on the glorious Tochnit Aleph in 2004.

Unlike most 2xCD compilations, this one is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, even though it has the Legendary Pink Dots on it.

Gate - The Lavender Head 1.1.1.2-2.1.2.2

Originally, this was an impossible to find lathe cut double LP released on Precious Metal in 1998 in a tiny edition of 30. Luckily for the rest of the world, this was re-released as a vinyl double album on Hell's Half Halo the same year in more accessible quantities.

The single that wasn't on the Golden compilation. Not surprising given that it came out five years later ...

Michael Morley - CNDYSYS / STPHNSYS

A couple of years ago, Even More Important Records released a series of lathes in tiny quantities. Of course, they sold out very quickly. In what is the greatest middle finger to the digital format, they put them for download at the meagre cost of $1,000 each. Makes me smile every time I think about it.

7" lathe released on Even More Important Records in an edition of 20 in 2014.

Brown Velvet Couch - Once In A Very Blue Moon

Robbie Yeats with Bruce Blucher on guitar, Paul Cahill on bass and Viv Crowe on guitar and vocals. As far as I know, this is the only thing that they released.

Trash - Not Gate

Bruce Blucher and Paul Cahill on guitars and one if not both on vocals with the lovely Robbie Yeats (yeah, drummer with the Dead C ...) on drums. Brilliant awkward rock that is only possible if you are from New Zealand.

CD released on New World Of Sound in 1994.

The Dead C - The Sun Stabbed EP

This is the 7" released on Xpressway in 1988.

In 2008, Ba Da Bing! and Jagjaguwar jointly reissued the DR503 LP and this EP as a double LP job. As far as we can tell, there are additional tracks on there that don't appear anywhere else.

I've finally had to admit that I'm a complete crackhead when it comes to buying music so I daren't dip my toe back into the water ... guess I'll never hear them.
