V/AMedical Milestones(Hot Air)cd$ 14.98
"Medical Milestones" collects all of the super limited 7" singles that Stock, Hausen, and Walkman released on their Hot Air label. Upon looking back at all of these singles through this compilation, it's possible to conjecture that all Hot Air had in mind was releasing a bunch of fart jokes, not really bothering to disguise them as art. Stahlgren & Fergusen's medical presentation of the
V/ANice Up The Dance(Heart Beat)cd$ 14.98
Imagine one of those reggae collections where the version track follows the vocal, except that instead of there being a rude break where the song stops and then starts again as a dub, the vocals merely drop out for several minutes, returning only at the close
V/AOvercome Vol. 1: Preaching In Rhythm & Funk(Trikont)cd$ 14.98
Two new compilations of gospel music from Trikont. Most of the tracks on these two discs are not the standard gospel quartets and choruses that are more likely to be what comes to mind when one thinks of gospel, but gospel music that comes out of popular
V/AOvercome Vol. 2: Sanctified Soul & Holy House(Trikont)cd$ 14.98
Two new compilations of gospel music from Trikont. Most of the tracks on these two discs are not the standard gospel quartets and choruses that are more likely to be what comes to mind when one thinks of gospel, but gospel music that comes out of popular
V/ARandy's 17 North Parade(Pressure Sounds)cd$ 16.98
A great collection of soulful '70s reggae tunes centered on producer Clive Chin of the legendary Kingston studio (and retail record mart) Randy's. Highlights include Alton Ellis' "Too Late", Senya's "Roots Man", the Randy's All Stars version of the
V/ARe: Martin Arnold(Apestaartje)cd$ 14.98
Seven tracks by seven different audio artists all using source material taken from the soundtrack to Martin Arnold's film "Alone, Life Wastes Andy Hardy." Using laptops and lots of software processing, most of the artists here disguise the source material well enough, bringing the film's soundtrack into their own realm and making of it what one might expect from a laptop. There are
V/ATeenbeat 2001(Teenbeat)cd$ 5.98
Budget priced sampler with tracks by the usual gang of Teenbeat allstars: The Rondelles, hollAnd, Flin Flon, Aden, Mark Robinson, Phil Krauth and the like!
V/AThe Cabinet of Dr. Caligari / Nosferatu(Elegaurd)2cd$ 18.98
It used to be jazz combos and chamber ensembles who would try making new, original music to accompany screenings of classic films from the silent era. Now, the new generation of electronic "clicks n' cuts" artists are getting into the act on this double cd.
V/AVarious Alchemists On...(Alchemy)cd$ 14.98
This limited edition compilation of the current roster of Osaka's Alchemy Records includes a small 2001 desk calendar featuring images of the artists. Longtime artists include: GENBAKU ONANIES (veteran punk rockers); INCAPACITANTS (noise for bankers, Allan's

Warp sampler of recent releases and releases soon to come. Including: Plaid, Autechre, Two Lone Swordsmen, Squarepusher, Mira Calix, Polygon Window, Blue Jam (Chris Morris), Nightmares On Wax and more. Cheap too!
VELOSO, MORENO +2Music Typewriter(Hannibal)cd$ 16.98
The offspring of Caetano Veloso, Moreno continues in his father's footsteps while perhaps dressed in some more au courant footwear. Beginning with a very straightforward homage a la tropicalismo, Moreno quickly delves into the future accompanied by
VENETIAN SNARES & SPEEDRANCHMaking Orange Things(Planet Mu)cd$ 17.98
Venetian Snares and Speedranch take a Roland 909 around the track at Rotterdam hardcore speed, adding plenty of Kid 606 / Lesser style noise assaults, possibly the result of a serious chemical dependency. These two electronic maniacs then drop in plenty of
VIRGINIA DAREScrapbook()cd-r$ 8.98
A special new four-song ep from hometown favorites Virginia Dare. This trio combines autoharp, delightful twang guitar, and simple percussion with the seen-it-all, slightly gravelly, defiantly feminine voice of Mary O'Neill. Includes a great X-Ray Spex cover ("Art-i-ficial"). If you're a fan of the Dare, place your order now because we've only got about 10 copies of this ep which was
VITRIOLs/t(Neurot)cd$ 13.98
In 1995, Ben Green took a sabbatical from civilization by stepping away from Godflesh's metallic pummel to return to a site of childhood wonder in the tiny cottage of Lanfawr Cwmstwyth in the Cambrian Mountains. During his twelve month stay, Green learned to coexist with his natural surroundings and transcribed his experiences through a basic 8 track, a guitar, and some microphones.
WINDY & CARLConsciousness(Kranky)cd$ 12.98
Utterly beautiful, velvet-warm blankets of sound unfold simply and slowly on just a guitar and a bass. "Womb-like" is an overused adjective, but in Windy & Carl's case it's really quite apt. Mix the blissed-out rough strum of Flying Saucer Attack with the (Windy and Carl also have a record store, www.stormyrecords.com, tell 'em we sent ya.) (And btw, Windy of Windy & Carl is different person from me, Windy of AQ.)
YAMAMOTO, SEIICHINOA 2(Alchemy)cd$ 19.98
Probably one of the most out-of-the-ordinary releases from Alchemy (known for their consistent output of harsh, abrasive music) is this equally unusual turn from Osaka's Seiichi Yamamoto (guitarist for Boredoms as well as leader of numerous eclectic acts, most
ZORN, JOHNGift, The(Tzadik)cd$ 16.98
A nice and pleasant record from the notorious John Zorn? Yes, and one that, in keeping with its title, could be the Zorn you might give to your mother, only perhaps not since the booklet has artwork by Trevor Brown (best known for the infamous Whitehouse album covers)! From Tzadik's obi blurb: "A beautiful and lyrical exploration of surf, exotica, easy listening and world beat, The Gift
