Comforter vs. Lefthandeddecision - Split

You may be forgiven (but not by me) for thinking this was Barbra Streisand and Jesus performing a Titanic tribute. Fear not! It's Phil sharing a split CDr with Andrei Alexeev released on Spirals Of Involution (which is run by Andrei and Alexander Alexeev) in 2003.

LHD were John Wiese and the left handed decision maker Phil Blankenship and here they share a vinyl LP with Jeff Plummer. It was jointly released on Phil's Troniks and Jeff's Truculent Recordings in 2004. It's great. Obviously.

Lefthandeddecision & IMPAXIS - Mock Motion (Edit)/Powertripping (1-4)

This split tape is the only recorded evidence of the existence of IMPAXIS, so I have no idea who they are/were. It was the 4th ever release on the Troniks label, 50 copies made in 1998.

Split 7" with the B Side taken by Eric de Vries and Udo Wiessmann's Winterkälte that is much less bouncy than their album releases.

Salt & Pineal Gland Zirbeldruese / Mercantan & Q-Rare - At MST Concert 1

Here you get a different live collaboration on either side of the tape. From the dirty perverted technoise of Salt / PGZ to the disturbing end of days ceremonials of Mercantan & Q-Rare that leans towards martial ambient noise if such a thing exists outside of my own head.

C60 released on the otherwise unknown MST in 1996.

Pineal Gland Zirbeldruese - Dawn ~ Rise ~ Death

There may be an argument that Pineal works better in shorter bursts than across a full length release but it's not a point I'd press home. There are elements of genius in here, just don't attempt to keep up with this unless you have full medical clearance. CD jointly released by Ant-Zen and Mental Ulcer Forges in 1996.

Telepherique - Sound Object

The core of Telepherique were Danijela Jochim, Klaus Jochim and Rene Jochim and they made a lot of great music between the late '80s and the mid '00s. This is a C46 stuffed full of brooding synth-tech and barmy hyperactive knob-twiddling released on Ant-Zen in 1993.

Telepherique & MSBR ‎– Amalgam

A gloriously bonkers sculpture package for a hyper-limited lathe-cut split single released on MSBR Records in an edition of 55 copies back in 1993. You'd have to wreck the package to get the record out.
