LEE RANALDO: "Road Movies"/"Ambient Loop for Vancouver" Book/CD (Important, USA)
This mailorder exclusive is limited to 500. This is the only way that the CD is available. Each book is signed by Lee Ranaldo & Leah Singer.
This single track full length CD comes packaged inside of Lee Ranaldo & Leah Singer's book Road Movies. Road Movies is a collection of Lee's writing paired with Leah's photographs published by Soft Skull Press. Photos and writing done on the road across the globe.
The CD contains brand new guitar work from Lee. It's quasi-religious drone, a sacred work that is as sedating as it is chaotic. Totally brilliant modern improvised guitar work.

RELIGIOUS KNIVES: "Live at Bigjar" CD (Archive, USA)
A four track live disc recorded in August of 07. While Religious Knives represent half the former output of Double Leopards, the output from this quartet is anything but. Raw and dirty garage rock for keyboards, bass, guitar and drums that sounds more comfortable being off the Doors early demo days box set rather then a No Fun offshoot band. Comes in a half-panel sleeve graphic work by now frequent archive art collaborator Chase Middaugh. Pressing of 600 copies, sold out from the label.

HELMUT SCHAFER: "Environmental Soundscapes" CD-R (Alienation, Japan)
Despite it's rather dry title, this is a good aggressive industrial-ambient work reminiscent of Bastard Noise and the film "Eraserhead." Recommended!

SCHLOSS TEGAL: "Black Static Transmission" CD (Cold Spring Records, UK)
Back in print by popular demand. Schloss Tegal explore the realms of the dead, within the phenomena known as EVP (electronic voice phenomena). Extreme dark ambient mixes effortlessly with 'dead voices on air' - these voices claim to be the spirits of dead people who once lived on this planet. The concept of this album focuses totally on the world beyond our reality - a peek into areas of darkness populated by the dead. An enthralling and geniusly unique album.

DJ SMALLCOCK: "Yinyue" CD (Dual Plover Records, Australia)
Out of Print! Last copy!

Smallcock did this one for love. A very special noise CD created from recordings of Beijing radio. Jittery, low-tech genius or the bumpiest ambient sounds ever? Someone must decide.

SPAZZMODICS: "Vermin Perm" CD (Dual Plover Records, Australia)
"
Insane Sydney twosome the Spazzmodics release their debut album Vermin Perm on twisted local label Dual Plover. Constructing quirky sound pieces, some of which could even loosely fit the description of songs, they spread thorny sound bytes and highly irregular drum machine samples together to come up with one of the strangest musical sandwiches ever likely to get stuck in your windpipe. Despite the mysterious way the Spazzmodics go about making music, there is not much point seaching for meaning here. You gotta be taking some mighty fine drugs to find any among all that ambiguity" (Blunt Magazine).

STARUHA MHA: "Rusali" CD (Tantric Harmonies, Russia)
"Releases from the Eastern European label Tantric Harmonies are always something special. The tribal ritual music on this album also sounds rather mysterious and distant. The inspiration for this project comes from archaic nature cults and psychedelic experiences... With no less than 80 minutes and 12 long soundscapes "Rusali" is filled to the brim. You can hear death ambient, with harsh guitar drones and elements of industrial noise. But also more atmospheric passages, with ethno-ambient influences and sounds of field recordings. And indeed, the music of Staruha Mha has something otherworldy or out of line with modern times... The music is too noisy to be truly relaxing... There is also something machine-like about the music, industrial rumbling soundscapes like 'On Branches' or 'Deformation' go and and on, disturbed by nothing. A good piece of work if you like dark ambient and ritual drones." Limited to 450 copies.

SWEDEN: "Same Diff" CD (Dual Plover)
A Dual Plover classic. Severed Heads' Garry Bradbury is involved. "It's like karaoke without the practice rooms, a caberet noise-style re-enactment of cataclysmic musical moments from the 60's and 70's performed with all the skill of a young council official. Starting with the sinister opening bars of 'White Rabbit' to the orgasmic climax of 'Macarthur Park', not so much the music you want to hear but the music you deserve."

SWORD HEAVEN: "Piles" 7" (BloodLust!, USA)
"For those who could use the help, imagine "Filth"-era Swans and "Kollaps"-era Einsturzende Neubauten, meeting for a recording session in some horrid, massive factory basement, but only two guys showed up, and they still managed to simply pulverize the hell out of everything. "Piles" is a breakdown from the middle of a live song called "Under the Face," which was recorded in September, 2006. The song is usually only about two minutes long, but on that night, the breakdown itself lasted for 7 minutes. The band split it into two parts, retaining all of the screaming, the feedback, the pounding, and the scraping. Private series number fourteen." White vinyl, edition of 300.
