Persuasive Barrier
Three Legged Race is the ongoing, ever-evolving project of Robert Beatty, a Lexington, Kentucky-based multi-media artist and founding member of noise band Hair Police. 2012 has been a busy year for Beatty, as he's provided his personal brand of visual art for countless excellent albums, and has also released new audio works (the outstanding Wrong Element 12" on Acoustic Division is essential).

Squadra Omega
LP (with extra 7") limited edition: Squadra Omega is a psych/avant/kraut rock collective with former and present members of the Mojomatics, With Love and Be Maledetto Now! devoted to free improvisation, psychedelic jams and mind blow ups. It is said that all empires are built upon the ruins of previous empires. It is said that destruction breeds construction. In times of deadlocked aesthetics and stylistic stagnation the time is nigh for a destruction of the old and the construction of the new. …
The Golden Undertow
The Golden Undertow opens with the gaunt “Dead Starâ€Â, a short and intense song with just few guitar notes and his voice. Both when singing accompaining himself with sparse guitar notes (“A Forest Journeyâ€Â, “My Shipâ€Â, “Fiveâ€Â) or creating gentle psichedelic epicness with the effort of friends on violin, drums and other instruments (â€ÂBonoboâ€Â, “Drugtime Familyâ€Â) Rella prove to have learned the lesson well with an inspired album that s…

Psychic Psummer
"Hello, I’m Trip Maker and I want to tell you about CAVE. CAVE formed in Columbia, Missouri sometime around 2004. Early outings were decidedly free form and jammy. Many people passed in and out of the bands ranks from show to show. It wasn’t the same band twice for a little while. Eventually, songs were written and a shared vision became clearer, resulting in the HUNT LIKE DEVIL EP. I played my first show with CAVE at Apop Records (when they were still in Columbia) on a bill with Rotten Milk vs…
A World Out Of Time
Both words in Eternal Tapestry's name say something about their music, but it's the first that's key. This Portland band's expansive psych rock sounds like it could go on forever, and most of their releases have in fact been culled from longer, open-ended improvisations. The way they slowly build these jams-- adding parts, increasing volume, and cresting in unison-- you get the feeling they're always playing, and their records are just glimpses of an endless stream.For A World Out of Time, Etern…
Punk Authority
Following the devastating one-two punch of Man with Potential and Pro Style for Type Records, Pete Swanson returns to his deformed warehouse techno sound with Punk Authority. After leaving cornerstone US noise duo Yellow Swans, Swanson made it his mission to pull apart the techno genre by the seams. This four track stomper for Software Recording Co. is by far his most damaged solo offering to date. With a sly nod to Police Academy, 'Punk Authority' launches into a barrage of debauched, regr…

Venus
Recorded by Maurizio Bianchi as Sacher-Pelz, between October and November 1979, Venus is the second self-produced tape of 'musique concrète'. “The term “ concrète ” comes from the latin “concretum” which means ”condensed, hardened, coagulated”, and applying this concept to the sonorous framework, the final result is to obtain a dense, curdled, clotted sound in which every liquid particle has been transformed into a compact structure which evokes atavic dissonant fossilizations. Tracks remastere…
Cease to Exist
Before starting the complex and compelling production of many records and tapes in the early eighties under the M.B. trademark, Maurizio Bianchi was documenting the new music scene writing essays and reviews for independent magazines. It was August 1979 in Milan, Italy and his sound was strengthening when he felt the time had come to prove his desire for something new. So he started his first solo project, under the name Sacher-Pelz. He assembled a concrete equipment and during the following few…

Maria Kapel
Ben ‘Six Organs’ Chasny has been a busy boy lately, largely in his plugged in psych-fuzz mode but also in his ultra-trio Rangda with Richard Bishop and Chris Corsano. For this one, however, he travelled to North Brabant, a place which the liner notes explain is full of some 400 chapels, and wrote new songs for the acoustic guitar which were performed live at the Incubate festival in September 2010.This performance makes for the bulk of this record, bookended by some spiritual studio-recorded har…
