EARTH/KK NULL: Split CD (Important Records, USA)
Originally released as a limited edition of 660 split lps sold on their European tour together in 2003, now with a additional Null track. Epic. Out of print!

$15.00

$18.00

ELMA: "Analyzer" CD-R (Neus-318, Japan)
Hideo Ueda proved himself with 2 other albums we have here. He delivers again with squishy squirming synths layered with harsh noise and some samples. Underappreciated???

$12.00

$16.00

ELMA: "Reciprocity" CD-R (Neus-318, Japan)
"Arrangement of sounds in which an elementary particle flies about free. The work which reached to an extreme of a cut-up-noise." If you like "Impersonator" get this one too. Merzbow-esque!

$12.00

$16.00

ELMA: "Impersonator" CD-R (Alienation, Japan)
Harsh noise! That's what you want, that's what you'll get. I still don't know much about this one. It's good!

$11.00

$14.00

EXIAS-J ELECTRIC CONCEPTION: "Balance of Chaos" CD (PSF Records, Japan)
Documenting Exias-J's debut concerts in New York, 2003, with the powerful (dare I say "all-star"?) sextet: Hideaki Kondo, Takuo Tanikawa, Shini-Ichiro Kanda, Tetsuya Miyazaki, Jun Kawasaki, Naoto Nishizawa.

$17.00

$20.00

EXIAS-J ELECTRIC CONCEPTION: "Avant-Garde" CD (PSF Records, Japan)
This live recording presents Exias-J as a quintet (Hideaki Kondo and Takuo Tanikawa-guitars, Shin-Ichiro Kanda-piano and synth), Tetsuya Miyazaki-computer and electronics, Naoto Nishizawa-drums). In a huge departure from their previous releases, this is a massively loud--alternating with pin-dropping quiet--dark, cavernous work. This is HEAVY! Hearing is believing!

$17.00

$20.00

EXIAS-J: "Venom" CD (Bishop Records, Japan)
Naoto Nishizawa - Drums, Percussion
Hideaki Kondo - Guitar

Three long improv pieces that will certainly appeal to fans of Rudolph Grey, Fred Frith, and Hooker + Ranaldo. Opens with a raging half-hour jam!

$13.00

$16.00

EXIAS-J/CAPRICE: "Angels in Twilight" CD (Bishop Records, Japan)
TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK.
A compilation dedicated to the cinema of Shusei Nishi, featuring Anton Brejestovski and Hideaki Kondo.
Classical, avant-jazz, midieval music and spoken word--not in English--combine most interestingly in an album that makes fine late-night listening.

$13.00

$16.00

DROR FEILER: "The Return of the Real" CD (Tochnit Aleph, Germany)
Like a mutation of Borbetomagus and Solmania, here is solo saxophones and clarinets plus electronics. Very recommended.

$12.00

$16.00

FE-MAIL and CARLOS GIFFONI: "Northern Stains" CD (Important, USA)
Individually and together, Carlos Giffoni and Fe-Mail make records that are rich, detailed, dense and complex, constantly straddling the line between improvised noise and modern composition. It's this attention to detail and warmth that make Fe-Mail & Carlos Giffoni such celebrated artists and kindred collaborators. "Northern Stains" is an often absurd combination of live sounds, feedback, hilarious sampling with a genuine sentimental touch, which nods towards both the northern glaciers and the beauty and brutality of nature. Tomorrow's music today.

$13.50

$16.00

FE-MAIL: "Syklubb fra Hælvete" CD (Important, USA)
"'Out of Norway comes the most exciting noise LP I've heard to date...' -- Thurston Moore.
Already an incontestable figure of the Scandinavian music scene, Maja Ratkje follows the release of her stunning first solo album with Fe-Mail.
Together with fellow Spunk-ette Hild Sofie Tafjord, Ratkje improvises with analogue electronic gear, samplers, voice, harmonica, and miscellaneous acoustic instruments to shape a more defined and delicate, if such a word can in any way define the realm in which Fe-mail evolve, series of soundscapes."

$13.50

$16.00

W.C. FIELDS & MAE WEST: LP (Proecenium Records, USA)
Rare, sealed, mint copies of a classic LP. Fields' only recordings: "The Temperence Lecture" and "The Day I Drank a Glass of Water" plus 8 songs by Mae West. Delightful.

$14.00

$19.00

FRAG-MIST: "Tukuyomi" CD-R (Alienation, Japan)
The work of Ryuta Noguchi, this is an unexpected departure from the usual (harsh noise) Alienation release. Quiet, peaceful even, electronics.

$11.00

$14.00

FUNKY TERRORIST: 3" CD (Dual Plover, Australia)
Awesome little package and cool Rough-Trade-y, loungey tunes, in English and Japanese too. Last chance to get this!

$8.00
