"M. Geddes Gengras, hip cat and modular wizard from the City of Angels with a bunch of tapes out on various imprints like Stunned Records, Full Of Nothing and Sacred Phases is delivering two sidelong tracks like solar wind straight from the heart of the sun: bubbling and boiling hot psychedelica.

Case 'BM' C30 (Ghetto Naturalist)

"Having Jeff Case melt my mind MANY times playing in the percussion sect of the AMAZING Burnt Hills, I was beyond psyched when he laid on some solo jams for release- WEIRD and BEAUTIFUL- hypnotic, meditative, patient, with a dose of new free jazz- 2nd side could be an album on it's own - PSYCHED on this" - label description

2012-01-13T08:11:00.000-05:00

Parashi / Cruudeuces split C30 (Ghetto Naturalist)

"Tons of GREAT recent output from Mike Griffin- all around busy busy - textured to the max on these 2 trks - prepare to get swallowed, every time.

Hakobune 'Nebulous Sequence 2' C30 (Ghetto Naturalist)

"AMAZING soundscapes from Takahiro Yorifuji. Solo guitar- minimal, MELLOW, maybe the sound trk as one looks through their favorite window pane or anything? These 5 trks have become an anthem for the seasonal change around here." - label description

2012-01-11T08:55:00.001-05:00

Alex Homan 'That Is No Way To Talk To A Lady' C38 (905 Tapes)

local dude. young dude. played an id m theft able gig with just a sampler on his lap. it was killer. this tape bounces around like jezzball. weirdo electronics, blown-out percussion, vocals... lots of weird cut up shit going on. ambient sessions as well. i hope this dude does more.

2012-01-11T08:54:00.000-05:00

Weirding Module 'Peace Offering' C57 (905 Tapes)

michael troutman (awesome color, violent ramp) plays the sort of italicized synth jams that mega man listens to with his weirding module project. the shit on peace offering is excessively focused and stunning. if you went to get a root canal from a space-dentist who was into beats, this would be playing in the lobby on a loop.

2012-01-11T08:52:00.001-05:00

Grass Traffic 'Neighbored Watch' C30 (905 Tapes)

dude behind the d'artagnan label and projects like pummeler, albino groupie, and wax toller spews out a half our of sticky-icky under the moniker of grass traffic. gross clatter straight from the gut. i think he said this is the last material he recorded before his house was broken into and had his gear stolen. bummer. i expect a box set after he tracks the dude down, stabs hims, and jams over his corpse.

2012-01-11T08:50:00.001-05:00

2673 / David Sutton split C62 (905 Tapes)

2673 returns to the 905 fold with two more harsh, mutant soundscapes. so over the top and grotesque. blasts that switch back from speaker ripping walls to crunchy drones. it's insane. for real. david sutton splits the tape with him, dangling piercing waves of lsd-water rapid tones from the other side of your brain. the part you don't use. you wont need it anyway.

2012-01-07T16:53:00.000-05:00

Toning 'Paranormal Romance' C42 (Skell)

"Cody Brant is the man behind Toning. After outstanding releases on labels like the late great Stunned Records and Eggy, he brings his soundworld over to the East Coast with this release on Skell. Paranormal Romance finds Brant continuing to tinker with miniature musical forms, preferring distilled and focused pieces to sprawling side-long jams. Guitars and synths make most of the sounds, but it is Brant's imaginative treatment of these instruments that separates him from the ranks of the arpeggio-istas that litter the current synth scene. He is scheduled to be touring in the spring of 2012 with synth pioneer JD Emmanuel." - label description

2012-01-07T16:49:00.000-05:00

Fossils from the Sun vs. Parashi/Xanthocephalus split C34 (Skell)

"As a member of Burnt Hills and Century Plants Ray Hare's journeys into the deepest realms of guitar and vocal-based noise psych have inspired and impressed; while his long-running solo project FfrtheSun has released material on labels like Reverb Worship, Digitalis, and Peasant Magik. Parashi's Mike Griffin unleashed a slew of material in 2011, on labels such as Stunned, Tape Drift, and Ghetto Naturalist Series before joining Burnt Hills midway through the year. Their soundclash uses guitar, synth, and voice to brew an amalgam that drones, scrapes, and creeps its way through a side-long 17-minute ride. Xanthocephalus is helmed by Brooklyn's Russ Aldertone, who released outstanding material on Kendra Steiner Editions and Ghetto Naturalist Series in 2011. He combines elements of harsh noise, field recordings, and occasionally furious bass playing, mixed together with a healthy sense of restraint amidst the chaos. COYE is a molten slagheap of sonics, powerful, menacing, and unique." - label description

2012-01-07T16:44:00.001-05:00

Cruudeuces 'Various Skin Figurines' C30 (Skell)

"Cruudeuces' Nathaniel Brennan is a conjurer; utilizing tapes, percussion, clarinet, and various bits of electromagnetic interference, he creates cleverly detailed and utterly bleak zones of sound. After a slew of releases on labels like Kimberly Dawn, Tape Drift, his own Ghetto Naturalist Series imprint, and Existential Cloth, Brennan has a large and impressive body of work. On Various Skin Figurines, he uses a subtle palette, with thick and crunchy low-end tones balanced by swirling clouds of tape noise and darkness--the results are astounding. So happy to put this one out! " - label description

2011-12-20T19:09:00.002-05:00

Plankton Wat / Super Minerals split C40 (Stunned)

"You were right — it was impossible for us to stay away for long. So here’s one final tape before Stunned is out the door for good. We’re thrilled to have been unexpectedly given a chance to produce this years-in-the-making split between Portland brothers Plankton Wat and Super Minerals. Side A commences with four season-inspired songs by Plankton Wat that calm the tides of the mind and prepares a scene of tranquil Pangea. Nectar flavored spirals of guitar, flute, percussion, and banjo drip forth as dusk falls, and nocturnal creatures gather to listen from the edges of Dewey Mahood’s glowing camp. Side B finds M. Geddes Gengras & Caitlin C. Mitchell doubling Super Minerals’ size and sound, joining in deep Green Machines Studio icaros-weaving. Winds, guitar, and drums twist into thick vines, fueled by mighty herbal allies and Third-Ear harmonics which plunge the band toward a blazing red dawn. Final edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c40 tapes with double-sided jcard and insert." - label description

Pierrot Lunaire 'Lantern Floating Vessel' C28 (Fadeaway)

2011-11-03T16:03:00.000-04:00

Fossils 'Flame Disc Revisited' C30 (Prairie Fire)

"D. Payne & crew join Prairie Fire for a horns-out free for all. It's as if they channeled the Red Crayola — with a C, none of this K stuff — via 1969 from Radio London. Even though Radio London shut down in 1967. These sounds have serious time travel capabilities." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

2011-11-03T15:56:00.000-04:00

Pink Priest / Hoarders split C20 (Prairie Fire)

"About a week after we released the Gremlynz/Ajilvsga split tape (PF 020), the Pink Priest (William Cody Watson) contacted us with plans for another release. This time he brought with him Horders, the musical project of Houston visual artist Give Up. Pink Priest offers up a rapturous side of dark creeping menacing psychedelic drones while Horders takes on a loner folk via black metal trip. It all makes up for an awesomely dark ambient release that won't disappoint." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

2011-11-03T15:53:00.002-04:00

White Creeps 'White Sleep' C20 (Prairie Fire)

"William Cody Watson and Andrew Stone are White Creeps. Evil is electrified as WCW drops psychedelisized random analogue bleeps and bloops over Stone’s yellow eyed foaming guitar drone. Great tracks.. they remind me of that time when I was dosed with DMT at the strobe light factory." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

Pine Smoke Lodge 'Season Above Lakes' C33 (Cae-Sur-A)

"With the sonorous bray of the hunting horn Pine Smoke Lodge transport the listener back in time to ancient primeval forests and mist-enshrouded landscapes.

Recorded live at Sugar City in Buffalo New York, 30th of May 2010." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

2011-10-29T09:16:00.000-04:00

York Factory Complaint 'We Call It Prayer' C30 (Cae-Sur-A)

"We Call it Prayer is violence and a transcendent meditation on brutality. Homeward Bound (at last) transmits pure darkness dragged from the Mariana Tranch, while its b-side cohort thunders along like a runaway freight train. This is an early incarnation of York Factory Complaint featuring Michael Berdan (Veins, Drunkdriver) and Ryan Martin (De Trop, Dais Records)." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

2011-10-29T09:13:00.000-04:00

throuRoof 'Feathers & Blood' C41 (Cae-Sur-A)

"throuRoof paints his work with a language that bleeds full spectrum. From the drenched fields of the opener Birdism to the solemn blue depths of the accompanying title track.

2011-10-29T09:11:00.000-04:00

Mold Omen 'Blacktop' C24 (Cae-Sur-A)

"Mold Omen’s Blacktop wastes no time initiating a continuous battle between a heavy, droning maelstrom of noise and the electro-melodies desperately trying to free themselves. By the end, the balance between forces becomes a serious mantra for the head. With a lo-fi sonicscape that reeks of scorched earth, this Baltimore duo knows how to leave a serious path of devastation in their wake." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

Developer / Quilt split CS (Orange Milk)

"Quilt’s side is a delicate combination of guitar, sounds layered with subtle harmonies congealing into small pockets of bliss and glitch.

2011-09-23T11:00:00.000-04:00

Opponents "Ambivalent Cloud Designs" C62 (Obsolete Units)

"This Brooklyn-based gang of roving synth junkies have established quite the catalog since the release of their first Obsolete Units missive I Swarm With A Thousand Bees. They’ve expanded to a trio, blown minds with walls of pulsating force both meditative and confrontational around Brooklyn and elsewhere, released a slew of essential recordings on such labels as Prison Tatt, Baked Tapes, and The Comic Beyond, and are further extending their reach to various other vectors and projects throughout the rest of the year. This nearly-lost companion piece to I Swarm With A Thousand Bees, however, reaches back to OPPONENTS as the Slusher-Feinstein duo, a more caustic permutation that nevertheless tossed out the ripe seedlings of what this project would soon become. Ambivalent Cloud Designs rings with the vilest of synth howls giving way to full blown riots of garbled sonic refuse, the electronic exorcisms of mangled vocals become lost in the torrents of circuitry invading the ether. Remastered by Jesse DeRosa of Grasshopper for optimal malevolence. Pro-dubbed/pro-printed edition of 100." - label description

Drawing heavy influence from composers such as Basinski, David Lynch, Philip Glass, and Silas Ciarán, Bowers focuses on mood and atmosphere versus technical composition."

A.M. Shiner "Bad Cop" C47 (Stunned)

"Unnamed experts and compromised authorities have been managing our perception far too long, suggests A.M. Shiner on his last tape ever before early retirement at age 18. He has received all his yearly vaccines and daily fluoride. He’s ingested genetically-modified everything, and he’s been living under the gift of nuclear power since birth. For AMS, the jig is finally up and the coast is clear. He stuck around when they sent in the Good Cop to work us over (Stunned no. 27). But before they send in the Bad Cop, he knows its time to post bail and bounce the hell out. Keep in mind that no matter where and no matter when, assume A.M. Shiner to be in contempt of court — with permission granted to regard him as hostile. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c47 tapes w/ double-sided color jcard." - label description

Millions / Spectrum Tickets split C45 (Stunned)

"David Suss has tuned his project Millions into a truly cosmic channel since 2006, sculpting a brilliant body of work across labels like Tape Drift, Blackest Rainbow, Peasant Magik, and 2:00AM Tapes. Suss opens his side with dulcet synth swells that evoke a placid sea evaporating into neon gas. Rather than rushing on from his carefully crafted scene, Millions engages each unfolding second with a composer’s patient and subtle touch. Much the same can be said for Mike Haley’s new synthesizer-based project Spectrum Tickets, who follows up his own awesome 905 Tapes label debut with ‘Space–Time’. Laden with crisp arpeggio runs and mega hypnotic pan & fade technique, this is an example of the entrancing – and dare we say melodic – realm Haley enters with Spectrum Tickets in hand. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c45 tapes w/ double-sided jcard and insert." - label description

Bastard Noise / Actuary split LP (Love Earth Music)

A powerhouse split release between the Los Angeles based noise/grind collective ACTUARY and noise/power-violence pioneers BASTARD NOISE. ACTUARY bring 2 brutal, earth shaking tracks to the a-side of this release, using synths, bass, oscillators, and other electronics to paint dark, ambient, and harsh soundscapes. BASTARD NOISE bring up the b-side of this release with dark synth drones, ear shearing and crunchy oscillator sounds, layered with screams of anguish and pain. Pressed on smokey grey vinyl, and house in a thick gatefold cover, with artwork inside and out designed by Kevin Fetus.

Vales "Fever Monument" C33 (Baked)

"Patience must be 2:00AM Tapes head-honcho Dave Doyen's middle name, because from the moment I was first introduced to his Vales project last November in a basement in Delaware, I was struck by the deliberateness of his every action. At a methodical pace, and a rather conservative volume, he commanded the crowded basement, rendered awestruck, from his washing machine podium. Fever Monument likewise sees Doyen's slow burn captured to two monolithic side-long slabs with the same precision and premeditated focus, albeit this time with thick and meaty unhurried oscillations phasing in and out of each other invoking one of those full-body highs that leave you feeling warm all over. Edition of 50." - label description

Mark Bradley "Spectral Electricity" C30 (Goldtimers)

"Mark Bradley lets loose an array of synthesizer exploration on Spectral Electricity.

Bee Mask / Envenomist split LP (A Soundesign Recording)

"The final installment in the ASR “Versus” split series brings together two of my personal favorite artists for the first 12” vinyl release from A Soundesign. Side A finds Philadelphia sound artist (and Cleveland export) Chris Madak crafting a rich and versatile interlacing culled from seven years worth of electro-acoustic recordings. “In the Mise en Abîme” is a Bee Mask masterwork composed from the same sessions that produced the “Canzoni dal Laboratorio del Silenzio Cosmico” LP released on Spectrum Spools earlier this year. Side B bestows you with three deeply pensive pieces by Columbus synth auteur David Reed (Luasa Raelon / Brittle Foundries). Envenomist consistently produces a lush mixture of contemplation and distress evoking Abstract Expressionism and industrial decay in my mind. The artwork, is a simplistic and ethereal delight designed by Chicago artist Daniel G. Baird. Included within the package is a fragment of metallized polyethylene terephthalate formed into a topographical land map. The listener is encouraged to manipulate the form as a tactile exercise adding to the synesthetic experience of the record. Screen-printed at Superelectric by Benjamin Haehn and David Russell." - label description

Colour Bük "Our Favorite Fucking Day Of The Goddamn Year" C30 (Weird Forest)

"Colour Bük hails from New York City and their sound is steeped in that gritty NYC guitar sound. Buzzing, noisy guitar drones (courtesy of the band's vibrator "technique") mingle alongside catchy, angular songs. You may feel dirty after jamming this tape but you will enjoy it." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

2011-06-07T17:52:00.003-04:00

Kevin Corcoran "Haptic Music" C40 (Weird Forest)

"Kevin Corcoran's official discography spotlights the wide range of his drumming repertoire -- witness the arty-free jazz punk stylings of Antennas Erupt! (S-S Records), the bombastic blasts on his various Weird Forest 7"s, the more subdued percussion on his Americana-cum-improv trio with Christian Kiefer and Tetuzi Akiyama (Digitalis) and most recently, the incredibly tight avant-rock drum beats featured with Garrincha & the Stolen Elk (Stunned). But left to his own devices, Corcoran is much more interested in subtle, quiet sounds and Haptic Music is the first release spotlighting solely his ideas. These pieces reflect his interest in percussion as timbre gestures (touching texture, sounding surfaces with objects, droning cymbals) where rhythm is not the major aspect but underscores or enables certain movements." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

Fun & Head Molt "Halftone Mud" collab C20 (905 Tapes)

about to get way conceptual with you on this one. okay, so what we have here is a collaboration between three gentlemen: breathminstrel mat rademan, z radiologist jonny wray (the fun duo), and head molter gary stevens. on mischief night 2010 they laid down some material at cat mansion in richmond, virginia. then, each dude fashioned the session into four unique mixes. that's three perspectives, four jams per perspective. so 12 tracks in total, but basically one track, ya know? each manipulation takes up one side of a tape and no tape is the same. so if your versoin has the mixes "perspective 3, mix 2" and "perspective 1, mix 3", then that combo aint showing up on any other copy of halftone mud. two tracks by the same persepective do not show up on any tapes and every possible combination was used. word?

Chapels / Sound Out Light split C41 (905 Tapes)

Ophibre "Psyllium Husks" C38 (905 Tapes)

boston-based ophibre digs deep into the grime pockets for psyllium husk, three tracks lurching through a 38 minute cassette. the a side, a live track from dec 2010, marries windblown oscillations with rack & pinion synth. it has it's gnarled moments, but is mostly collected and hypnotic. the two jams on side b are along the same lines, maybe a bit more minimal and clangy. sounds like contact mics make it into the mix. all around another stellar benefaction from rossignol.

Found Hypnosis s/t C42 + Zine (Bathetic)

"Side A - This tape was found in a pile of junk on the side of a road wrapping around an island off the coast of Maine. Marked ''Hypnosis - Josh / 9-18-98'', this 21 minute hypnosis was presumably recorded on a handheld tape recorder with background sounds of running water, harbor horns, whistling birds, and wind. While listening, you're practice is lead by soft whispers such as 'I give my problems to my soul's guidance / I release my problems to my inner light.' The tape turns over to Side B culled from infrasonic frequencies. Find your own way through them. comes with 28 page zine of collages made from withered nature magazines found in the same pile of rubbish as the hypnosis tape." - label description

Derek Rogers "Relative Quiet" C32 (Bathetic)

"With Relative Quiet, Derek Rogers offers us 6 tracks of shimmering ambiance. Tremulous tones flirt with the sensitive areas of your psyche while the bass coos you into slumber. This cassette drifts into areas not too removed from the likes of Tim Hecker, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, or Grasslung. " - label description

Big China & Little Trouble "Lo-Panning" LP (Magic Bullet)

Glow in the dark vinyl/6-color hand screened kraft jacket/ltd to 150 "a comprehensive, fully-submersed analog turntable experience that is both a play on the “Pan” part of the characters name (listeners can hear and experience the drone emissions coming from both Eyestone and Haley sliding across the stereo spectrum for the duration of the program) and a fitting tribute to the mystical powers exemplified by the brilliant nemesis of the film itself. Simply denoted “Part I” and “Part II,” both sides of the LP successfully capture the hypnotic, enveloping vortex of David Lo Pan’s ancient raw powers. A subtly constant and humming melody anchors both sides almost like a raga, as Eyestone and Haley blast and churn compositional improvisation across the sonisphere. The results are a deliberately glacial and powerful presence seeping and oozing away from the melted minds of the creators and into the listening rooms of the new hosts of these diabolical spirits." - label description

C Spencer Yeh & Jon Wesseltoft "Northern Resonance I" C39 (Imminent Frequencies)

"In the winter of 2008 C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) and Jon Wesseltoft (Tongues of Mount Meru, Maranata) would meet in Wesseltoft's native Norway to record the tracks, which comprise this tape. With Yeh on violin and Wesseltoft on harmonium the duo blazes through the northern sky unleashing a meditative eulogy to the Nordic gods of past, present and future. The reeds maintain the momentum while the strings wail in unison. Fans of Tony Conrad and Henry Flynt take note. Artwork by Lasse Marhaug!" - label description

Chapels "Call It Killing You Off" C29 (Imminent Frequencies)

"If you have ever wondered what it would sound like to sneak into an abandoned Victorian mansion during a blizzard this is it. Translucent voices, bits of metal debris, found sounds and what sounds like some percussion all meld into a collage of frigid archaic beauty. When not running his House of Alchemy label Adam Richards has stayed rather busy the last couple of years maintaining a strong body of work with his Chapels project, creating hauntingly striking sound compositions. Like many Chapels releases the sounds within are opaque and eerie often hard to decipher but I think I like it better that way." - label description

Kevin Greenspon "Unveiling" C25 (Monorail Trespassing)

"Los Angeles' hardest working man at the moment. What may appear to be all bright light soon gets covered by dark clouds. Greenspon combines elements of ambient music, drone, collage and harsh noise, all condensed into song form. Six pieces of dynamic compositions for guitar, keyboard, and tapes." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

"Ad Seg is Kevin Greenspon’s first offering on Hi Shadow, it follows up his last set of complementary releases (Common Objects LP, Unveiling cassette, Rose Window cassette, and splits with Cloud Nothings and Trudgers). On Ad Seg, Greenspon offers up 3 tracks of ambient guitar work which may be some of his most devastatingly bare pieces to date, they cascade into one another building upon the last shimmering, gut-wrenching opus leaving the listener admiring Greenspon’s sense of timing and ability to craft genuine emotion through melody." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

R Sawyer "Aulea" C20 (Bridgetown)

"Pure, deliberate compositions of drifting ambient/drone recorded in Texas and California by this accomplished visual artist who has done work for Deafheaven (mem. of Whirl), Fell Voices, Ash Borer, and Deathwish, Inc. among others. Sawyer's technique seamlessly blends solid tones with perfect melodic arrangements emerging from beneath, rising and falling like the waves of the small coastal town he calls home. A grand step forward from his previous CDr on Bridgetown." - label description (SOUND SAMPLE)

Ättestupa "1867" LP (DNT)

"Northern Europe 1867: A winter so harsh, a spring so cold and a summer so late. A dead harvest. The failure of the crop meant starvation and thousands and thousands of people died. Bark bread, lichen gruel and families slowly fading away. This bleak period, ended in 1869, resulted in that more Swedes than ever emigrated to Northern America and other places for a better life. Based around those years, Gothenburg's Ättestupa here creates an absolutely terrific soundtrack to this misery with their new 3-song EP. Exploring the dark past of their native country Sweden, this is a well-executed journey into the neverending well of hopelessness. Into the struggle of nature and mankind. You'll recognize the sound from the RTB LP from last year and the Abisko tape, but here they are taking everything up a notch. The unique production is getting close to perfection, a raw and disgusting thick sonic bliss with a continuous crunch. A sharpened blend of noise, kraut and black metal with a crude melancholic atmosphere. Vocals buried deep under the soil and guitars being more prominent. Organs, screeching metal junk, tape loops. Pounding drums. The recording reeks of bad times and tremendous coldness and it's hard to grasp for air. No hope and definitely no joy. Recorded during the first three months of 2009. Limited to 330 copies on black vinyl." - label description

Family Underground "Demon Parade" LP (DNT)

"Massively dark/claustrophobic set of new industrial ritual from the duo line-up of this excellent Euro commune/drone group. Easily one of the most ‘unnerving’ full-lengths in their catalogue, Demon Parade opens with a power drone that sounds like a lightning strike in a ventilator shaft while hideously modulated vocals flicker in the foreground ala early Whitehouse/Throbbing Gristle circa “Hamburger Lady”. “The Spectral Janitor” extends this mood into a despairing minimalist tone piece with distressed wordless vocals that teases apart the sound of no-mind with the kind of aggressive string sonorities of early Vibracathedral Orchestra plays Heathen Earth. The second side is dominated by a single track, “Singly Lost, Eternally Gained”, that is heavier on the fuzz, with the organic/electronic aspect of MB put to the service of an industrial post-“Sister Ray” mainline. Still one of the best European exponents of the nowhere zone, this is classic black psychedelic punk." - Volcanic Tongue

Michael Esposito & Kevin Drumm "The Icy Echoer" 7inch (Fragment Factory)

"The Icy Echoer constitutes a premiere in many respects, for both, the label and the artists. After countless collaborations with the likes of Leif Elggren, CM von Hausswolff, Bryan Lewis Saunders and others (mostly released on CD), this 7'' marks the first time that Esposito’s works are published on vinyl, while the same applies to the Fragment Factory. Likewise, believe it or not, it’s the very first appearance of Drumm on a 7'' platter.
Michael Esposito is an experimental artist and long-time researcher in Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), currently located in Chicago, IL. The EVPs which form the basis for ''The Icy Echoer'' were taken at St. John - St. Joseph cemetery in Hammond, IL, which has the reputation of being one of the most haunted places in the US.
Kevin Drumm, based in Chicago as well, was certainly among the very first names that sunk deep into my memory when I became interested in experimental music back in the day. After a vast number of remarkable outputs on such labels as Nihilist, Hospital, Pica Disk, Editions Mego and several more during the past 13+ years, I’m eminently happy to bring this one into the light of day. A document which I personally consider not only as the perfect interaction between two of the most exciting contemporary sound artists, but also as a significant point in the development of the Fragment Factory." - label description

White Prism "Reappear" C34 (Cylindrical Habitat Modules)

"Phenomenal set of outer-limits synthesizer music from Ben Billington (Quicksails, Tiger Hatchery....) and Josh Burke (Sky Limousine, etc.). Definitely their spaciest outing yet, and one of the best tapes from this batch. White Prism continues their winning streak (after the EXCELLENT field studies tape last year) and builds on their foundation with two side-long pieces that paint an abstract, utopian logan's run reality for the listener. They have this amazing, almost "straightforward" style that just makes this tape so LISTENABLE; there are plenty of beautiful, fluid changes and tastefully sprinkled textures. Everything is in EXACTLY the right place, but nothing is predictable or stale. Side A explores deeper interplanetary float, even getting into killer Raicevic territories at times (the ten-minute mark on this side kills me every time) and Side B is more of a sparkling tapestry of almost new age-y warmth. Overall an amazing tape to keep coming back to. Edition of 100 on transparent red tapes." - label description

Toby Aronson "Sensations" C20 (Cylindrical Habitat Modules)

"Excellent, short set from NNA tapes boss Toby Aronson. Imagine yourself seeing Blade Runner in an IMAX theater underwater and you're pretty much there. Great hi-fi synthesizer compositions that build to almost anxiety-inducing climaxes. Highly affecting and kinda addicting. Very "technological" sounding synth leads interlaced with reoccurring female cyber-voices and replicant pulsing electronics. An extremely creative and singular future vision. Edition of 80." - label description

"Two live Moth Cock sides, captured in Cleveland and Pittsburgh in November 2010. This tape marks two missed opportunities for myself (was supposed to play with them the night of the Cleveland gig but got held up at work; was supposed to go with them to Pittsburgh and celebrate my 20th bday but ended up getting sick) that i'm almost glad I missed for the sake of these amazing sets.

"Following up their recent 905 Tapes burner, Garrincha & The Stolen Elk’s members Davy Bui (Weird Forest Records) and Matt Kretzmann uncork a bottle of straight up rock & roll. It’s pretty damn refreshing having a band like this around, ready to rip through four tremendous songs in twenty minutes and still managing to cover all the right bases along the way. G+SE’s chops are unarguably tight and not a second is wasted as fun house blurt and a wicked sax (!!) spice up the group’s own totally original brand of rock madness. It’ll be hard putting the cork back on this one for a long, long while. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c20 tapes w/ double-sided color jcard." - label description
