Warehouse find of this legendary LP that bundles the incendiary set from the Oz Days set by Les Rallizes Denudes with the set at the same fest by Takehisa Kosugi's Taj Mahal Travellers. A key Japanese underground document.

Limited self-released cassette from Keffer documenting her new collaborative project with Scott Martin aka Hobbledeions. Synth, beats and distant female angel vox combine in some of Keffer’s most straightforwardly beautiful bedroom jams. Flip is Martin’s solo project, with crude breakbeats and rolling synth.

Limited tour-only CD from Carlos Giffoni’s new solo project dedicated to primitive techno and acid house. Two minimal tracks that combine Industrial drones with squiggles, beats and synthesized wormholes.

Amazing unlikely limited edition reissue of this legendary obscure private press LP that remains one of the most elusive and highly sought-after recordings ever to escape the Nurse With Wound list. Pekka Airaksinen was a member of the equally elusive Sperm, whose amazing 1970 Shh! LP on O Records recently got the reissue treatment. One Point Music goes even further than that outré side with a series of heavily rhythmic/percussive electro/primitive jams that almost comes over like a Cromagnon take on the afro-futurism of Craig Leon’s Nommos LP. Airaksinen works euphoric cultic magic with the barest of set-ups, with single flashing beats/rhythms illuminated by nothing but cracks of solitary electronics or a sudden woosh of phantom brass. Imagine the original Amon Duul let loose in Saturn studios with Suicide’s set-up circa 1975. The LP has two almost-distinct sides to it, with the first a heavier, more overtly modern/primitive Industrial style with electronics and metal percussion that’s somewhere between early SPK/TG at their most minimally repetitive and some of the more bloody-minded of the Vanity acts, Tolerance et al. But it’s cut up with a killer wild man of the mountains feel that is pure Finish freak folk, albeit more amphetamine than hallucinogen. The second side gets even more kosmische, with a use of crude F/X and a fidelity that is as out there as early-60s Sun Ra complete with cosmo-electronics and wild phasing rhythms and alarm code beats that vibrate the speakers like a more DIY Maryanne Amacher before being overwhelmed by great paeans to fuzz and fury that speak in walls of ululating death-tone. Incredible to think this was released in 1972 (!!?) when there was little parallel for this kind of hermetically personal DIY cosmo-minimalism. Originally issued in a run of only 120 copies, this is the first time it has even been remotely available in its entirety. Highest possible recommendation!

CD-R edition of what was originally a cassette release from this unstoppable Danish free jazz orchestra, here recorded live with an expanded line-up in Copenhagen in December 2009. Everyone plays recorders and percussion as well as their primary instrument, be it saxophone, ney flute, electric guitar, electronics, vocals, clarinet, violin, double bass and drums and the results are mind-blowing, moving from Art Ensemble-styled communal freak into heavenly post-Coltrane ascensions through the tone world. Can’t think of anyone outside of the much-missed Rauhan Orkesteri/Paivansade circle with such a devastating grasp of folk-primitive form and higher minded avant bliss. 

Ass-blasting double LP compilation of wild Dutch punk, still some of the crudest ever spat to wax. Amazing tracks from Ivy Green (“I’m Sure We’re Gonna Make It”), Helmettes, Panic (“Requiem For Martin Heidegger”), Flyin’ Spiderz, Speedtwins, Paul Tornado, Suzannes, Tits, Mollesters, Filth, God’s Heart Attack, Mecano Ltd, Subway, Mort Subite, The Brommers, Shith, Coitus Int. Vopo’s, The Ex, Nixe, Rondos, Nitwitz, Trockener Kecks and Frites Modern. Excellent sleeve notes too.

Long-time since we heard from Japanese underground saxophonist Mochizuki Harutaka but this is a very welcome return: a stunning multi-region DVD that features a classic convulsive, high-wire performance. Filmed in a shady gallery the set sees Harutaka play harmonica, alto saxophone and small percussive metal balls. It starts out in typically gripping style with Harutaka bent double, hunched with a harmonica in his mouth and a bowl full of metal beads that he alternately pours, throws and kicks around the room, generating the kind of cyclonic Industrial/psych sound of the Mukai/Urabe duets or even aspects of Hiroshi Kawani. When he switches to saxophone the results are devastating, playing with all of the tortured, pent-up energy of the late Kaoru Abe, contorting his body in order to tear whole new alphabets from his horn, sounding single screaming tattoos and mournful bugle calls alongside phantom feedback tones and lonely late-night laments. In the tradition of Abe, Masayoshi Urabe and Keiji Haino this is intensely physical and iconoclastically powerful free improvisation at some kind of organic apex. Numbered edition of only 100 copies, highly recommended!

Exact repro fan club edition of this legendary DIY side from mythic UK underground group Desperate Bicycles: recorded in 1977 in a single three hour session, Smokescreen/Occupied Territory was cut by the group as an object lesson in how easy it was to make and record your own music, effectively opening the floodgates for the wave of post-punk DIY non-musicians that followed. It still sounds amazing, blunt guitars, ultra-crude outta tune keyboard, great songwriting, those classic English oik vocals, sharp politico/English doldrums lyrics... this one has it all, still one of the most iconoclastic UK underground sides. Very limited numbers, highly recommended.

Expanded fan club reissue of this classic 7” from the greatest DIY/no-count group of all time, the UK’s Desperate Bicycles: originally issued in 1977 with the same two tracks on both sides of the vinyl (it was cheaper to press that way), this upgraded edition replaces the overlap with their classic Peel Session tracks. “The Medium Was Tedium” remains the DB’s manifesto, with its rallying chorus of “It was easy, it was cheap, go and do it!” it is one of the most inspirational examples of liberated independent prole art to come out of post-punk UK and demands a spot on the shelf of every underground/DIY music fan. Very limited numbers, highly recommended!

Straight fan club repro of this classic EP from the most legendary UK DIY group, Desperate Bicycles: this is their amazing 1978 EP in full, six tracks that capture the group at a crude apex, with crucial tracks like “(I Make The) Product” and “Advice On Arrest”, the latter of which may well be the single greatest and most utilitarian piece of prole art to come out of the whole DIY explosion, a list of what to do and what your basic rights are in the event that you’re lifted by the pigs, all accompanied by some of the wildest monochord stomps to come out of 1970s teenage. Very limited supply, highly recommended!

Fan club edition of the final single from UK DIY legends Desperate Bicycles, topping off one of the greatest 7” runs of all time: unlike the original, this new edition comes with a printed sleeve and the sound is even weirder if anything, with an odd fat synth sound and a more complex angularity to the music. A very elusive side, beautifully restored – very limited numbers, highly recommended!
