Deceh - Fundamental Structure
May 16, 2012
Absolutely my favorite cassette purchase since John Hudak's Dream Kit / Artless Simplicity of Sleep in '94/'95, and ideal listening material while driving with the windows down ...
Null* - Ultimate Material II
May 06, 2012
Seventeen years later it's sharp as it ever was but only deepens in funk, increasingly so upon every listen ad infinitum. Core.
Heavy Winged - Fields Within Fields
Feb 07, 2012
Some real old-school SWANS vibe here, but not in a copycat way. Good real loud! Stoked!
Turn off your subwoofers for this one. Worst piece of recording I've heard in a long time ... and I like lo-fi. First impression: total waste of time. But it's already growing on me. Man, I have bad taste. By the end of the first side I'm already sold.
Butthole Surfers - Double Live
Feb 04, 2012
If your copy has a mirror image of the cover it is a unique release and you should submit it to the database instead of making a comment. Cheers
Autechre - Envane
Jan 22, 2012
Good call on comparing the barcode #s, but "9 oz. quarter" would be a pretty good title too ;-)
Celer - Vestiges Of An Inherent Melancholy
Jan 22, 2012
This record is amazing. The cover is also beautiful, and fitting to the music. However the "old style hardback jacket" is too large for a normal poly slip, and does not leave enough room to get the record in and out without probable bunching of the inner. Interesting but disingenuous imho.
Sabbath Assembly - Restored To One
Jan 07, 2012
I picked this up a year ago because it just looks evil, or at least ironic, or maybe groovy in an uncanny way that might fit in with Spooky Tooth's "Ceremony." However on finally listening this seems to be actually in earnest. Though I don't know enough about Christian cults to know what this represents, there isn't a smack of irony. The lyrics sheet capitalizes words like "Will"; the word "God" always appears as "GOD." The music is studio quality and would have been major label material if released in 1968 (it might have been avant-garde if released in, say, 1966). The lyrical world places us beyond the fight between Heaven and Hell, wherein Satan has resumed his original place in the celestial hierarchy and all has been restored as One. Groovy ... and, to this listener, truly horrifying.
When I used to DJ I rarely played a set without "The Lick"; frequently it would be my opening track. I found very few tracks during this time that provide escalation quite like this one does ... I bought it because over headphones I thought it was totally plain and too long, but over a system this is anything but "plain." It has the energy of a locomotive gathering speed ... it creates lots of momentum, and can seamlessly bridge a moderate energy into a long noisy freakout.
