Peach of Immortality - Talking Heads '77
Peach of Immortality - "Jehova" My Black Ass - REM = Air Supply!
Obscure 1986 LP of rough tape mangling noise by a trio from Georgia featuring Tom Smith (later of To Live and Shave in LA) and Jared Hendirckson (of dire "industrial" rock band Chem Lab).
Crawl Unit - Everyone Gets What They Deserve
Joe Colley delivering a set of glorious noise / drones. The final track ends with ten mintues of a recording device on a window sill at midnight capturing the very little that happens outside. The antithesis of Territorial Pissings.
CD released on Blake Edwards' (aka Vertonen's) Crippled Intellect Productions in 1999.

The Gerogerigegege - 燃えない灰 (Moenai Hai) / Voracious
If you think that the Gero project is all about the sound of one hand happy clapping the old chap, then shame on you! Although sometimes it actually is ... anyway ... an extra portion of Cornflakes per day is recommended to expurgate that pre-conception.
Anyway again. Make no mistake, this is high level (top shelf?) sinister drone and noise rock-out. I'm pretty sure that the cover's allusion to The Exorcist is stood up by the piano stabs on the first track. With Gero releases, there are always those pesky little extras that get away. You'll probably be happy to know that this includes the extra disc that was a "not for sale" extra given as a bonus when you bought it from Disk Union stores in Japan.
A CD and bonus CDr released in Japan on Eskimo Records in 2016.

Harsh vibes sprayed across a bed of wall noise? Chopped sliced and diced contact mic music hall skronk? It's another John Olson oufit that released one tape under that name and it's quality!

Incapacitants - Live In Oslo - Norway 2007
It's been a while since I had played this and today watched it three times on the spin. Kind of made me think that if you haven't seen it then you might like it too. It's joyous!
DVDr released on Freak Animal Records in 2007. It's a big old file that is in two pieces ... don't see the point of compressing because somebody is downloading onto a phone.

Pharoah Sanders - Live At The East
Farrell Sanders is a legend that forged his art in the crucibles of Sun Ra and John Coltrane before taking his own rightful place in the pantheon. A friend of mine just told me that he passed five days ago and I want to bow my head in appreciation.
It is only relatively recently that his classic early releases have even been reissued, regardless of the format. This is a 24-bit digital remastering of the album originally released on Impulse! in 1972. This was released in Japan on Universal Music in 2003 as part of their (apparently brief) 'The...Music Hardcore Jazz' series.

Eresto - #1
Yeah, I could have waited a bit to post this but frankly what's the fucking point of that? None whatsoever. Admittedly, there may be no improvement from here on in ... but what a way to go downhill!
This comes in a physical edition of one. Yes. One. I have sweet dreams that John is leaking these himself to flip a mighty bird to the AmTapes speculator market. Twats the lot of them!
Four CDrs and a C32 released on American Tapes dressed in Tin Coffin style packaging in May of this year.

No Thing & The Spykes - Abominable Assurance In Oxidized Ointments
The past few posts have made me consider that time is deceitful. AmTapes in the 900s ten years ago? I used to stalk the HN_AM message board looking for the new releases and contact John to buy them. If I was lucky, I got them but frequently it was "hey, you just missed it". I nearly cried when I was told that the last copy of Spykes "Mistrust" six-taper had just been sold moments before I tried to get it. There were only five of those and it still really bugs the arse off me twelve years later. Never had a sniff ot it since then.
So? Oh yeah, the point. It was well-trailled that John was going to fold AmTapes when he got to 1000 (as far as I know 1K was a party in Michigan ... never got an invite, thanks for asking). It felt like a friend was shuffling off his mortal coil. Then the AmTapes site came down and that massive resource of "wtf was going on there then" was lost. Things went quiet for quite a while and then news arrived (always too late) of blink sorry you missed them bits and pieces, frequently tour mersh but still intrinsically American Tapes releases.
For the past couple of years, things have seemed to get a bit frequent. No fanfare that I have ever heard so not really been at the front of any queue to buy them. However, in the nicest and nerdiest possible way, I spend dumb / worthwhile amounts of time stalking t'interweb and talking to people and etc.
This is a ten disc set (with six of the CDrs being hand-painted "anti-discs") released on American Tapes in May 2022. No catalogue number btw.
Seriously, Brother O is at the height of his prodigious powers right now!
Oh yeah, nearly forgot ... it comes in a princely edition of two copies.

Charlie Draheim / Spykes - From The Noize Explorers
It starts off with Crank crunk beatboxing, found sound of somebody doing bad but explaining to himself that it will be fine and then settles into its rusty groove. Play it in the background when you are planning something important and then wonder why you just forgot everything.
C32 released on American Tapes in 2006. It's AM548 btw.
