Mother of fire
restocked - AA krauty, rhythmic throb & a sort of gutterized/behead the prophet stance that once seemed to have run up & down the west coast. Both of these things are filtered through post-Spacemen sensibilities & fueled w/ violin, bass & drums
Alibi Coast
A founding member of Black Dice & accomplished painter, Sebastian Blanck issues a timeless, poeticized folk-pop recording reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel, & in fact has far more in common with his paintings, brilliantly layered works that capture evocative scenes in motion. "Alibi Coast" puts Sebastian's gentle guitar work & gorgeous vocals in the spotlight, & traces not one narrative arc but several, centering on the events of 2007, when Sebastian lost his brother Toby in a drowning accident

Fields Within Fields
They're back. Heavy Winged has continued to stretch their leathery, scarred, er, wings and grow since their last release for Three Lobed Recordings, 2008's Alive In My Mouth. The band was determined to make Fields Within Fields into a significant part of their discography from the very outset. In October 2009, the band decided to enter the 5D Studios in Brooklyn to engage in what would be a first-time experiment - recording in a multi-track studio with overdubs planned from the session's s…
Songs About Fucking Steve Albini
A collection of psychedelic love songs paying tribute to all things analog. Similar to older Kid606 releases like PS I Love You, GQ on the EQ, The Soccergirl EP and Why I Love Life. This album was carefully constructed to be the soundtrack for the peak 72 minutes of your next trip. The songs all linger on too long but just long enough, you hear voices you can't understand, but you will know what they're saying. Every track has its distinct identity and direction to completely throw you from one …
In The Army 1981
this album is seriously fantastic, totally insane beer-induced, wide-eyed, spaced-out, scratchy basement corner, dusty freak-out loner sludge For the past few years, Puffy Areolas have been fritzing synapses and scorching the landscape with their corroded psych / hardcore scree. Enlightened by the most unhinged charters of Acid Archives and Killed by Death alumnus, the Puffies' sound might best be described as embodying the Stooges' Raw Power if your pretty face had gone to hell. There, it would…
Stupor Hiatus
Definitive collection of Ohio lo-fi pioneer's 1974-1992 material. A mash of home-recorded punk, pop & psychedelia. "Man, i hate it when someone's entire career seems to have passed me by, especially when it's someone as crazy as lo-fi pioneer and mad ranty man Mike Rep. I know fuck all about this guy but he sounds like a genius. I guess he may have come to prominence for his production work with Guided By Voices, Strapping Fieldhands and Times New Viking but this guys been kicking it since …
Monster Mittens
A new single by neil campbell’s ever-evolving solo project, astral social club. neil (a band, vibracathedral orchestra) with assistance from karl bauer (axolotl) unleashes two electronic psychedelic noise jams with distorted loops, cascading feedback, and the sound of hypnotic drones recorded in space.
Touch and Go: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine \'79-\'83
Touch and Go fanzine was the brainchild of Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson and was launched in Lansing, Michigan, in 1979. Major fanatics of the new punk happenings in the late 70s, TV and DS set out to chronicle, lambaste, ridicule, and heap praise on all they arbitrarily loved or hated in the music communities in the US and abroad. In laughably minuscule press runs by today s standards, T & G was made by guys within the Midwest scene strictly for the edification of scenesters and pals in oth…
And In The Endless Pause There Came The Sound Of Bees
A flop-eared rodent frolics in a lush field. In from the horizon sweeps a black cloud, kicked up by an army of similar-looking rodents. That's the basic set-up of Varmints, a 24-minute film by Studio AKA animator Marc Craste, based on a book written by Helen Ward and illustrated by Craste. Jóhann Jóhannsson draws the title of his latest album from the book, and this is the music he composed for the film's soundtrack. There's quite a bit of extra material-- the album is a full 1…
Way Out
The Books have a terrific sense of humor-- and it makes The Way Out, an album built on eccentric vocal samples, a good-natured discovery instead of a cheap piece of mockery. Imagine if a blog had posted these clips of goofball hypnotherapist and meditation consultants, or found a tape of a boy and a girl swapping violent threats with each other: You'd chuckle and move on. But when the Books use these samples, they give them integrity. You find yourself engrossed with people …
Thought for Food
Every once in a while a record like this one appears out of the ether without clear reference points. Web details on The Books are sketchy, but I have ascertained that they're a duo consisting of guitarist Nick Zammuto, who lives in North Carolina and has released some solo material under his surname, and cellist Paul de Jong, who lives in New York and has composed for dance, theater and film. After that, the pool of Books information dries up fast. The music is similarl…
The World of Buckminster Fuller
a 1974 documentary by he cult figure Buckminster Fuller, an impossible to categorize, the anticipatory Design scientist, foreshadows the complex persona of a contemporary media artist. John Cage, America's foremost avant garde composer, became enamored of Fuller during the first summer Cage spent at Black Mountain College, and his admiration grew over the years. This film is not so much about Fuller but rather Buckminster Fuller explaining himself in his own words. As such, it is a fascinating h…
Magical Nights
3LP version. Munster Records presents the most complete anthology of the legendary Czech band The Plastic People Of The Universe. PPUS was formed in autumn 1968 in Prague by teenagers and former school-mates bass guitarist Milan "Mejla" Hlavsa and guitarist Jirí "Premek" Stevich.

Dub & Die plus
Originally released in 1981 as an untitled mini album on Zick Zack, "Dub & Die" completes our re-issue programme of the band's earliest works. Recorded at SADW's Cassettencombinat studio in Berlin, the original 8 tracks represent the first release by this German Avantgarde/Industrial group that was once a member of the "Geniale Dilettanten" movement. Again, comparison with early Einstürzende Neubauten is permitted, altho…
Trust No Woman plus
'Trust No Woman' is a minimal electronics masterpiece released in 1981 under the name of Zyx in Austria. The people behind this record are Inge Graf & Zyx, Austrian multi-media pioneers and musicians who have become famous in their home country for some highly obscure TV commercials. Over a quarter decade after its initial release, this outstanding album sees the light of day again. And if that weren't yet …

It includes a rare track off the "Thirteen" compilation album as a bonus. Also included are two photographs from a brand new series by Carla Subito.…
Destroying The Night Sky
A very special release with an unusual mix of sound: Using Cadaverous Condition's "To The Night Sky" album as source material for their tracks, all the aforementioned bands have created a unique new style of music. Call it metal ambient, drone metal or electronics metal, the result is something previously unknown and exciting. Hear Nurse With Wound doing one of their darkest tracks ever - listen to Controlled Bleeding's totally insane restructuring of a rock track, or be surprised by Nocturnal E…
