LOVAGEMusic To Make Love To Your Old Lady By(75 Ark)cd$ 15.98
Love duets -- strange, twisted, and surreal -- sung by Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Fantomas) and Jennifer Charles (Elysian Fields), and presided over by Nathaniel Merriweather a.k.a. DAN THE AUTOMATOR (Dr. Octagon, Deltron 3030, Gorillaz), the
MAGICAL POWER MAKOHapmoniym 1972-1975(MIO)5 cd box set$ 117.00
We recognize that probably only people who've been looking for these five cds ever since they were first released in limited and expensive form in Japan almost ten years ago are likely to want to pay nearly $120 for this box set reissue, and they already know In 1993, Japanese label Mom & Dad promised to release fifteen discs chronicling the unreleased studio recordings of Tokyo psych legend Magical Power Mako, but were only able to produce the first five. Israel-based MIO has decided to take on the project and will release three box sets containing five discs each. The material that makes up Hapmoniym 1972-1975 was recorded while Mako was working on his second masterpiece for Polydor, "Super Record". Often compared to krautrock pioneers Faust, this collecton is an incredible assemblage of sound experiments, collage pieces, tape manipulations and astral folk-psychedelia so epic and so out, one might be so bold to state that Hapmoniym as a whole even surpasses the density and innovation of the mighty Faust Tapes. And he was only a wee sixteen years old on the earliest of these recordings! Andee is especially fond of disc two, the part where it sounds like Jimi Hendrix jamming with a meowing cat. Keiji Haino fans take note as he appears on disc one, on possibly his most spaced out psychedelic trip ever. We await the remaining two 5-disc volumes with curiousity and excitement (and, patience). We do, however, have to scold MIO for a slight problem with the packaging: the 5 discs are in slim cd5 cases inside a little red cardboard box, with a booklet as well. It looks handsome, but each disc has its own unnecessary obi that doesn't really fit anywhere in the package once opened, but that of course you can't throw away, either, if you're like us. Oh well. We also could have done with more English language text in the booklet, it's mostly the original Japanese liner notes.
MAHARAHJRepetition(Now or Never)cd$ 12.98
Canada finally throws their hat into the metal core ring with Maharahj, a whirling maelstrom of drop-d riffage, blazing blast beats, howled vocals, mangled melodies, bits of black metal mayhem and totally fucked and hyper complex songs. Relentless and

MERZBOWFrog(Misanthropic Agenda)lp$ 14.98
Yep, that's right, Masami Akita exploits the powerful and hypnotic depth of everyone's favorite musical amphibians. The record begins, simply enough, with the soothing rumbling croak of the webbed feet wonders, gradually evolving into an explosive demon that only Merzbow can conjure up. Handsomely packaged in a gatefold sleeve adorned with colorful baby frogs and layered with a
MILK CHOPPERThe Secret Life of Numbers()cd$ 9.98
Super sunshine indie pop in a very Beulah meets Pavement-esque fashion... It's San Francisco's Milk Chopper! Breezy boyish harmonies abound with a subtle bit of twang and snippets of sound samples shuffled in here and there. Quite a pleasing pop debut.
MILKWOOD TAPESTRYs/t(Gear Fab)cd$ 14.98
Debut album from 1969 sees itself reissued on disc. This NYC-based duo were popular for their tender ballads played out on classical and acoustic guitar and cello, with the added flourishes of maracas and harpsichord, and appropriately fey vocals. Will
MOONSORROWVoimasta Ja Kunniasta(Spikefarm)cd$ 14.98
Another winner from the Finnish label Spikefarm that brought us the amazing and sort of silly Finntroll. You remember, the trollish black metal polka band. Well, now here's Moonsorrow. Pagan Folk Metal is what they call it, but much like Finntroll,
MORK GRYNINGMaelstrom Chaos(No Fashion)cd$ 14.98
Furious and epic black metal a la Dimmu Borgir but with more dynamics and less cheesy keyboards/atmosphere. Strange groovy breakdowns, and super catchy riffs as well as weirdly melodic parts and some really inventive out of the ordinary guitar playing.
NASStillmatic(Columbia/ill Will)cd$ 16.98
Nas is back. That unmistakable flow. Old school beats and looped strings. Epic and intense and completely classic sounding without feeling dated. Features the completely brutal 'Ether', probably the best 'dis' song in a while, a scathing lyrical 'fuck you' to

Newest ep from this Greek black metal band. Limited and numbered to 600 copies and in a cool faux leather digipak. Epic and majestic black metal ala Emperor with a touch of Burzum-y primitveness. Buzzing mosquito guitars that gradually get heavier and
NOCTERNITYEn Oria(ISO666)cd$ 11.98
Debut record from this Greek black metal band of buzzing symphonic Empreror style black metal. Not quite as polished as their new ep, but there's something to be said for that. Blazing primitive metal, with huge epic keyboard parts, spacey droned out
NORTHWINDSMasters of Magic(Black Widow)cd$ 14.98
Northwinds did a record a few years ago called "Great God Pan" that came out of nowhere (well, France, actually!) to become one of Allan's all-time favorite heavy-psych-doom-metal discs. It's out of print now but the band is back with a new, not quite as good For some reason, cult Italian metallers Death SS provide the intro and outro tracks.
ODD NOSDAMCelebrate the Instrumental Gems of...(Plan 9)cd$ 14.98
Reissue of the debut cassette only release from Odd Nosdam, the man responsible for the music on the amazing cLOUDEAD records. 55 short and sweet tracks of abstract hip hop sound art: unfinished rhythms, bizarre sound collages, super distorted song fragments,

PALE DIVINEThunder Perfect Mind(Game Two / Slow Ride)cd$ 12.98
Not to be confused with the albums from Nurse With Wound and Current 93, *this* "Thunder Perfect Mind" is the full length debut from a Pennsylvanian power trio known as Pale Divine, and it's something we've been waiting for ever since we heard their cut on
PEDRO THE LIONIt's Hard To Find A Friend(Jade Tree)cd$ 13.98
This is a re-release of PTL's debut full length which was first released in 1998, shortly after the 'reformation' of Pedro The Lion, having started as a 5 piece, broken up, and then reformed as just David Bazan all by his lonesome. Lonesome is right. Wistful sad boy indie rock, with earnest lyrics and dreamily melancholy sentiments. Go on, revisit those sensitive, brooding indie
PEDRO THE LIONThe Only Reason I Feel Secure(Jade Tree)cd$ 10.98
Eight slow, dreamy indie rock numbers by singer/songwriter David Bazan. Yes that's right, Pedro The Lion is a one-man band (after starting as a 5 piece, disbanding, and continuing on as a 1 piece!). This is a re-issue of his 2nd release originally released in
PENTAGRAMSub-Basement(Black Widow / Southern Lord)cd$ 14.98
There's been a lot of activity lately from these semi-legendary lords of doom, surprising coming from a band that's been around for about thirty years and has dwindled down to only two members! But (thankfully for all fans of dark, doomy heavy metal)
PLAYGROUPs/t(Source)cd$ 17.98
Trevor Jackson's newest offering Playgroup has gotten massive hype. I think a lot of this has to do with the laundry list of collaborators he's gathered, cos taken together, they reveal a noteworthy breadth (and yet specificity) of taste, especially since Yet such a long list of credits is also a sign of the times. In the same way that famous DJs with big record collections and even bigger egos get to bask in the limelight of music that (face it) they didn't make themselves, have you noticed there's this trend of famous producer-types gathering together their other famous friends to make records that said famous producer-type couldn't have made by himself cos he doesn't know how to actually play any instruments or write actual songs that consist of more than one or two rhythm tracks, some fancy synth noodling, and a diva on vocals. Sigh. Anyway, let's not continue to critique the guy for making a collaborative record. The point is, does Playgroup deliver? Well... it's very faux-epic '80s-dance-music sounding. The heavy "funky" beats anchor the music quite well, and will *totally* endear themselves to fans of Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx. Then again, there's some who'll say it's somewhat predictable and boring (I'm one of those people). And despite what the hype tells you, please note that there is nothing "punk" about this album, including Kathleen Hanna's vocal appearance on a single track.
POTOMAC ACCORDSilver Line on a Black Sea(TPA)cd$ 10.98
The debut album by The Potomac Accord from St Louis, MO bears more than a striking resemblance to Godspeed You Black Emperor's "F#A#oo" - heck, the cover is an absolute deadringer with the exact same slant of the horizon in the grey blurry cover photo,
PSYCHEDELIC FANZINE#9/#10()magazine + cd-r$ 12.98
Doomheads! Hungary's Psychedelic Fanzine is probably the best, most consistent 'zine publication devoted to the doom metal underground worldwide, covering the whole spectrum from doom-death-grind to psychedelic space rock to stoner/desert bands to cultish '80 trad heavy metal. It's a good place to delve into doom history while also finding out about new stuff (Andee
QUIN, DOUGLASCaratinga(Earth Ear)cd$ 14.98
Another amazing audio document from Douglas Quin, who brought us the bizarre and captivating 'Antarctica' (remember, the record that sounded like electronica, but was all actually produced by seals!). While this isn't quite so unique, it's still a pretty
RAKEFighting 2 Quarters And A Nickel(VHF)2cd-r$ 11.98
Another cd-r artifact from the dark and mysterious VHF vaults, this time documenting the live sonic mayhem of Virginia's Rake! Rake were always my least favorite part of the Virginia-UK-VHF free rock axis, but 'Fighting...' is a pretty great collection.
RIPERTON, MINNIEPetals The Minnie Riperton collection(Capital)2cd$ 19.98
Wow, a very nice collection of the best of Minnie Riperton, who possessed one of THE most amazing voices in the history of rock and soul music -- hey, everyone from Stevie Wonder to Denzel Washington to George Benson will tell you that. (Denzel said he got Minnie grew up on Chicago's Southside, cut some tracks as "Andrea Davis", then was invited to join the multiracial psychedelic / rock / soul group Rotary Connection. Most people familiar with Rotary Connection back in the day say they should've been huge, and that if they had only gotten the exposure they deserved (such as a slot at Woodstock), they would've caught on like wildfire -- that's how good they were. Three Rotary Connection tracks are included here, a totally unrecognizable version of Otis Redding's "Respect", a Cream cover, and an unreal Middle Eastern-ish epic called "I Took a Ride (Caravan)" (see soundclips below). When Minnie decided to make a series of solo albums, she left the psychedelic heaviness of Rotary Connection for a sound all her own -- part soul, part rock, always forefronting her incredible songbird-like voice. She did everything from stark Joni Mitchell covers to down home funky songs like "Reasons" (my favorite song of hers, ever, see soundclips below) to sweet bell-clear love songs penned by her and her husband by the duck pond in the idyllic little Florida backwater house they lived in for two years. Stevie Wonder was proud to produce the tracks, and she enjoyed several "hits" before her untimely death of breast cancer at the age of 31. She is sorely missed. This 2-disc collection is ultra-handy because it collects Minnie's best tracks in one place, as well as showcasing previously unreleased demos and live tracks (and admittedly just a few duds). The liner notes are quite extensive and detailed, and the photos are... well, let's just say you'll be in love after seeing the photo of her with the overalls and the ice cream cone. Recommended!
RUFF RYDERSRyde Or Die Vol. 3, In The 'R' We Trust(Interscope)cd$ 17.98
People have been giving me an enormous amount of grief about my love of top 40 MTV hip hop and my disdain for most underground shit (read: most, not ALL), but I could care less. Until all those playas can spit out stuff this good, beats this sick, rhymes
SEKA GAMBUH PURA DESA ADAT BATUANMusic of the Gambuh Theater(Vital Records)cd$ 13.98
Gambuh is the oldest surviving dramatic form in Bali (incorporating music, literature and dance), a remnant of the Hindu Javanese courts of 500 years ago, it followed those courts to Bali when the Mahapajit dynasty fell to Islam in the 15th century. With the
SHALABI, SAMOn Hashish(Alien8)cd$ 14.98
Montreal musician Shalabi (of his namesake Effect, Molasses and AQ-faves Silver Mt. Zion) tries his hand at (studio-aided) composition, getting a dozen local improv-oriented musicians to play with the tape rolling and then later assembling these pieces
SIGHTINGSOr What(Freedom From)7"$ 4.98
Noisy, lo-fi (read: poorly recorded, but that's the charm (read: novelty)) "art" punk from New York (where else?). The press release says "DNA meets High Rise" and makes many no-wave references (what better way to hype your band?). Don't want to be a prick and write this band off just yet, but it sounds like a bunch of emo kids decided emo wasn't hip anymore and decided no-wave
SPARKLEHORSEIt's A Wonderful Life(Devil In The Woods / "Capital")lp$ 12.98
Finally on lp! Here's what we said about the cd: Hooray! AQ all-time fave Mark Linkous returns at last with a brand new Sparklehorse album and we are happy to report that he, once again, does not disappoint. Mr. Linkous has that innate ability to write incredibly infectious pop songs with teeth -- never slipping into preciousness or saccharine artificiality -- and a multi-instrumental playfulness that harkens Tom Waits' works from the mid eighties. It should come as no surprise then that both Tom Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan collaborate on one track. They are also the only other names to appear as songwriting credits on the album. Also contributing to this album are Cardigans vocalist Nina Persson (singing backup on a few tracks), PJ Harvey (playing some guitar and singing lovely harmony vocals) and Harvey's bassist John Parish drops some bass licks along with throwing his weight around as a producer on a couple tracks. For those of you who aren't familiar with Sparklehorse, Linkous' aesthetic weaves delicate, about-to-crack vocals, gently strummed guitars, and all sorts of bizarre studio trickery (a wonderful amalgamation of lo-fi home recording and ultra-lush top dollar multi-track wizardry) to make his records SOUND so great. But it's the songs that make the biggest impression. Whether it's a super distorted rollicking rocker, a barely-there ghost of a melody, or a heart wrenching country ballad, every song, at its core, is a perfect, perfect pop song. Catchy as hell, but not immediately -- more a sort of insidious, slowly spreading, like a virus beautiful, but beautifully miserable as well. And the lyrics too are practically perfect. Simple but astonishing in their depth. Clever and brutally soulful, without being melodramatic or overwrought.
STARSAILORLove Is Here(Capitol / Hollywood)cd$ 10.98
We've had a minor flurry of requests for this UK quartet, who follow very much in the path and style of Coldplay or a less experimental Radiohead, and enjoy just as much hype from the British media. "Best new band"? I'm not so sure of that. Clearly
SUNROOF!Slipstream(Rural Electrification Program)cd-r$ 9.98
We recently managed to get some limited cd-r recordings from AQ faves Sunroof! straight from the source, Matthew Bower's Rural Electrification Program label. Sunroof! is the latest project of Mr. Bower, who formerly fronted the legendary Skullflower and the
SUNROOF!Temple Music Vols. 1&2(Rural Electrification Program)2cd-r$ 13.98
Monstrous double cd-r document of AQ faves Sunroof! live 1997-2001, featuring members of the Vibracathedral Orchestra and Jazzfinger. 2+ hours of gorgeous extended drones: endless, epic and hypnotic, deep and dark, lush and thick, whirring, tinkling,
TARENTELMort Aux Vaches(Staalplaat)cd$ 9.98
Newest in the Mort Aux Vaches series of live performances, here are four pieces from local boys Tarentel, in their best lineup -- when Trevor Montgomery and Jeff Rosenberg were still in the band -- during Holland's 1998 VPRO festival. If you've never heard Note: we got these straight from the band so they're relatively inexpenisive. All future copies we may carry will be more expensive.
THROBBING GRISTLEFirst Annual Report of Throbbing Gristle(Get Back)lp$ 11.98
For reasons unknown to us all, 1975's "First Annual Report" from Throbbing Gristle was deliberately held back by the band, thus positioning "Second Annual Report" as the first documentation from the legendary parents of Industrial Culture. This record has
TIME OF ORCHIDSMelonwhisper()cd$ 8.98
NYC-based quartet who play an insane variety of time signatures and styles, and they do it so athletically and manically that I broke out in a sweat listening to it. You'd think they were Mr Bungle or something. Or maybe even better? This group certainly has
TOTALSolid Objects Cast At Goblins(VHF)cd-r$ 9.98
An awesome artifact from the apparently now defunct Total. Total was another amazing project of Matthew Bower from Sunroof! and Skullflower. And the sound of Total fell somewhere between the droning crush of SF and the dreamy hum of SR! Recorded in 1996, Another lovingly produced and beautifully packaged cd-r from the only folks that manage to make us like cd-r's! And of course, limited.
V/AFreak On!(VHF)cd-r$ 9.98
This is another limited cd-r from the mighty VHF, and once again they do it up right. No chintzy photocopied, thrown together bullshit. This cd-r comes in a gorgeous cardboard gatefold with full color images (of a whimsical frog) pasted on the front and
V/AIrritant Number Nine(Irritant)cd$ 13.98
Another electronic music compilation featuring the usual suspects (and hometown favorites) Kid 606 and Lesser, plus Christoph de Babalon, Pisstank, Knifehandchop, and a dozen others. A loud, abrasive, and, well, *irritating* (like the label proudly proclaims)
V/AMusic of the Gamelan Gong Kebyar Volume 1(Vital Records)cd$ 13.98
Early on in the 20th century a new genre of gamelan emerged in Bali and became known as Gong Kebyar (meaning "to burst" or "bloom"). Kebyar is a populist form born, ironically enough, out of the Dutch supplanting of the Balinese court. Accounts as to Volume one features a wide selection of pieces including the now famous dance Teruna Jaya, composed in 1914, which is the cornerstone of the kebyar style, three pieces written between 1925 and 1984 and three traditional pieces arranged for gamelan gong kebyar. The tracks were all recorded live, many of them at Bali's prestigious National Institute of the Arts (S.T.S.I.) in Denpasar, between 1982 and 1994 by Bali's top musicians. Culled from over 300 hours of recordings, they represent some of the best and liveliest performances of kebyar caught on tape.
V/AMusic of the Gamelan Gong Kebyar Volume 2(Vital Records)cd$ 13.98
Early on in the 20th century a new genre of gamelan emerged in Bali and became known as Gong Kebyar (meaning "to burst" or "bloom"). Kebyar is a populist form born, ironically enough, out of the Dutch supplanting of the Balinese court. Accounts as to Whereas volume one featured a variety of works written throughout the genre's existence by various composers past and present, volume two focuses on one of Bali's up and coming stars, an inspired and prolific composer and performer named I Nyoman Windha. So popular are his works that it's not unheard of at kebyar competitions that two competing groups will both be performing compositions by Windha. The tracks on this disc were recorded in 1991 and 1994. All the tracks, like on volume one, were recorded live and most of the performances were connected in some way with a kebyar festival competition, either during a rehearsal or the competition itself (you can hear the audience's response to the gamelan's performance clearly on the first track.)
V/VMHate You(Offal)cd$ 13.98
Right from the get-go, the V/VM compilation "Hate You" is easily the most enjoyable (read: not annoying or irritatingly ironic) and well executed collection from this Stockport collective. The basic premise here is, well, pretty much the same as any other V/VM project: take any "shite" track and slice, dice, shred, add tons of distortion and completely destroy the shit out of it.
VIBRACATHEDRAL DRUM TROUPE, THEUntitled(freedom from)7"$ 4.50
While this is not a cd-r, and is not on VHF, or on Rural Electrification Program, I'm sure you'll understand its inclusion in this section: Another slab of glorious din, courtesy of the Vibracathedral Orchestra. This time, in the guise of the VCO 'drum troupe', they explore a different side of their personality on each side of this seven inch. One side sounds like an orchestra, tuning up for all of eternity. Notes stretched and bowed in some sort of cosmic slop. The other side sounds like just the orchestra's percussion section, pushed down a stairway that goes on forever. Bells and gongs and shakers in some sort of ancient sounding ritual. Quite nice.
VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRAHot Booty: Live 1999(VHF)cd-r$ 9.98
This is a limited cd-r live document of AQ faves the Vibracathedral Orchestra recorded in 1999 at shows in Leed, Glasgow and Manchester as a five piece. But before we get to the music, let's just talk for a minute about Bill at VHF and how much care and 1. Tinkling chimes and buzzing metallic grit pierce a monstrous wall of hum. 2. Seriously intense washes or warbles and roars and thrum, with a simple one-drum rhythm holding the whole thing together. Epileptic percussion and waves of cymbal/gong wash give way to squealing horns and a drum corp gone haywire. 3. An almost-folk song constructed from looped guitars/synths, shakers, bells and cymbals. 4. Spaced out meditative ur-drone. This time complemented by the sonic crush of a church organ. The sound of the apocalypse. Think: Nitsch jammng with Skullflower, or better yet, don't think at all, just sit back and give up.... 5. Noisy chaotic out-rock drone. Sounds like a rock band, loosed of any sort of ties to 'the proper way of playing' (which it sort of is) and just letting the instruments do what they want. Thick and relentless, layers upon layers of electrified fury that eventually dissipates into tranquil dreaminess. Live is definitely where the VCO come into their own, stretching and exploring the sonic possibilities of 'rock and roll', and coming up with some of the most gorgeous and transendentally intense droning free-rock we've heard! So recommended! And as you might have guessed, limited.
WHENBlack Death, the(Tatra)cd$ 14.98
'The Black Death', released in 1992, is a single 40 minute piece, that blends military percussion, strings, foot steps, a choir of angelic voices, weird orc-ish growling and muttering, jaw harp, rain, rattles, chimes, woodpeckers, and all sorts of unexpected
WHENDrowning But Learning(Tatra)cd$ 14.98
Released in 1987, 'Drowning But Learning' keeps many of the same soundtracky elements as his earlier 'The Black Death' album, with the sound of rain, eerie strings and moaning horns, etc. but this time adds some pop sensibility and seperates the record into 14
WHENPrefab Wreckage(Tatra)cd$ 14.98
'Prefab Wreckage' was release between 'The Black Death' and 'Drowning But Learning' and shows Pederson's gradual move towards songs, not so much the pop of 'The Lobster Boys', but more a sort of structured chaos, as opposed to When's more abstract
WILLIAMS, SAULAmethyst Rock Star(American)cd$ 17.98
Saul Williams is an all around Renaissance Man: an artist, poet, actor, writer, and musician, who was recently seen writing and starring in the film Slam. The guy does it all, and here we're treated to his music and his singular vocal method -- intensely And the musical accompaniment? It's decent -- and quite varied. Some tracks have atmospheric guitar feedback, the better to showcase the voice and creep out the audience. Other tracks feature modern 2-step-ish breakbeats, and yet others sound like Rage Against the Machine-style rock workouts complete with heavy pseudo-metal guitars and fingerpicking acrobatics. Why doesn't Techno Animal get Saul to front one of their tracks? Have you heard their Dead Man's Curse ep, cos if you haven't now is the time! Look it up on the website; we've got a soundclip of 'em and I'll bet after hearing it you'll agree all parties would benefit from a collaboration.
WITCH MOUNTAINCome the Mountain(Mountastic Records)cd$ 14.98
Doom metal from Portland, Oregon. Formerly known as Iommi Stubs (a better name!) so you know they're Sabbath freaks. Unfortunately, this is one for doom die-hards only, as the vocals (except the one song with Lost Goat's Erica Stoltz guesting) are not so good, and the music is pretty average too. Maybe next time. But, they deserve praise for one clever, Judas Priest
ZEN GUERRILLAPlasmic Tears And The Invisible City(Insect)cd ep$ 9.98
San Francisco rock n' rollers Zen Guerrilla's legendarily energetic live performances are matched only by the energy with which they've been cranking out recorded works lately (we count a heavy metal covers 7", the "Shadows On The Sun" studio album, and a The disc starts off a lot more mellow than we are used to hearing from these notorious jams-kicker-outers, but gradually builds into louder, heavier realms of warm psych guitar swirl and motorik rhythm, not unlike the krautrock grooves of Ash Ra Temple or modern practicioners of the same like Circle and Mogwai. But then about 15 minutes in, it seems like the (presumably drugged-out) characters in the movie have entered some futuristic club or something, as the heavy 70s psych jams suddenly meet bleeping mechanical beats, shortwave radio noise, unintelligible voices, and even some sampled old timey jazz. It turns into a psychedelic funhouse sound collage -- definitely a "trip". It would be nice with visuals for sure. If Zen Guerrila were Monster Magnet, this would be their "25............tab" ep. Pretty darn cool.
