Because I said. And hey, it works with everything else, so why not? Crossovers into stuff like the Metal thread appreciated, or anything else really.

Inspired by the release and enjoyment by me of the rather delayed but finally about out Mason Jones-curated Hall of Mirrors two CD compilation on Emperor Jones, which you can find a full tracklist/description of here (I'll be writing the review of it). All I have to say right now is: holy shit, where have some of these bands been all my life? The Gravitar track is fucking insane, and now I've found out they broke up, dammit!

Is Escapade's "4:33" the "4:33"?

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 9 April 2005 20:37 (twenty years ago)

The credits would imply otherwise.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 9 April 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

It's being seeded at indie torrents.

― Léèê (Leee), Saturday, 9 April 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

I'd say that the Kinski is my favorite, I think, and that includes the exclusive Bardo cut.

― Léèê (Leee), Saturday, 9 April 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

I was about to say, this is new.

MANY good tracks on the whole thing, and the Kinski is a killer. But I'd also give love to Circle, Overhang Party, Vocokesh, Numinous, AMT, Primordial and Rubble in particular.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 9 April 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

aaah this looks delicious, ysi anyone?

― rizzx (rizzx), Saturday, 9 April 2005 22:51 (twenty years ago)

wow, i havent heard most of that...i missed DMBQ last week, but have heard nothing but raves.

Up-Tight's "five psychedelic pieces" album is very enjoyable if more than a little rough-round-the-edges

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Monday, 11 April 2005 21:48 (twenty years ago)

The Gravitar track is fucking insane, and now I've found out they broke up, dammit!

they released a ton of stuff, though. go back, ned raggett! get copies of "now the road of knives" and "you must first learn to draw the real!"

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:45 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, no worries, I checked out the webpages -- happily good contact info is listed for all the bands in the CD booklet. Which is why you should all get it instead of downloading it like punks. Oh wait I download never mind.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

cant find it on slsk though

― rizzx (rizzx), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:50 (twenty years ago)

I love Up-Tight. Really chewy. This comp looks interesting.

DMBQ just released a record on I think Estrus? Does this strike anyone as odd? I haven't heard the record so I don't know. The EP I heard was kinda meh but they supposedly rule the kingdom live.

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 01:04 (twenty years ago)

the new boris is pretty ridiculous. (check out the cover art)

So far exercycle nitemaring with Chilean electropunks Panico's Subliminal Kill. Anybody heard Thai Beat A-Go-Go Vol. 2 yet?

― don, Tuesday, 12 April 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

Aight, so who knows anything about Portland mystery group Visitations? I got in quick on Time-Lag's 78 rpm two weeks ago and it is this great hippie, campfire, femme vocal psychedelic shit that knocked my socks off (and has me looking for a better 78 player than the crappy travelling suitcase looking one I have now). I see Fakejazz reviewed their CDR last year and Time Lag mentions about another forthcoming CDR, but I want to know MORE.

― jared, Tuesday, 12 April 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

V/A - By The Fruits You Shall See The Roots - Eclipse/Time-Lag triple LP. Sides by: Matt Valentine & Erika Elder & Chris Corsano, Jack Rose, Dredd Foole, Joshua and Kemialliset Ystavat, Fursaxa and Six Organs of Admittance. Amazing packaging, mostly up to par jams. The Jack Rose side features a lengthy version of "Sun Dogs" which was broadcast in a short version on the Peel show--bowed(? e-bowed?) drone with lots of dissonant overtones produced. MV/EE/CC piece is unfocused. I like Corsano way more in the free jazz realm; when expecting typical MV/EE string melt, it feels cluttered and too unfocused. Six Organs side is good, Fursaxa side is tops, and the Joshua Side is good, even though it could have used more vocals. Dredd Foole side is two tracks, one long one short. Short one's good. Long one's uninteresting sound poetry type stuff (maybe you'll like it if yr into that.) Second track, much shorter, is Jandekian moan/strum. In the vein of recent Ecstatic Peace LP.

Huge foldout six panel poster with the artists listed in conventionally psychedelic script. Other side is big foldout of patches and liner notes on some fancy paper type jam. Pretty.

Yeah, great stuff isn't it? :-)

Aight, so who knows anything about Portland mystery group Visitations?

Heheh. Weirdly enough, I just had some dude e-mail me about this very band since I had mentioned the first CDR last year on FT. Said dude was from Russia, which I thought was very cool. :-) I just refer people to Nemo at this point.

Ned, what did you think of the Satwa reissue?

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

I loved it -- what, didn't I say more on the Satwa thread? Weird. I wrote it up for a quick blog post at the OC Weekly site.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

Hello, tell mle more.

DMBQ played live on Joe Belock's show on WFMU today. Caught the tail end and it seemed quite good. Link to the mp3 archive:

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

I found the Visitations CDR on Slsk and it is fucking fantastic! Like the best elements of Campfire Songs and Folkscene done even more lo-fi and intensely with the sci-fi madness of An Electric Storm sprinkled in there (probably took their name from track on that record).

― jared, Tuesday, 12 April 2005 19:51 (twenty years ago)

you sharing it on slsk?

A Long Losing Battle With Eloquence And Intimance: that's the title of the new Dredd Foole LP (might be on aluminum-coated paper too, if yall prefer). Yes, Eloquence and Intimance wins; the mere-er side of freakiness loses (in terms of mere vocal gnarliness, which Ian describes above, re By Their Fruits--well, the last track does have a few minutes of such, but after he's already given us the good words, so you don't gotta listen to the mere). Also a Losing Battle with Fate or somethin, but unrepentant as unforgiven sings the Foole! Check forcedexposure.com, and also they may still have copies of a zine from Smallflowers Press: epic "open fire biographs (mostly interviews, but not too rambly) of Dredd Foole, Sunburned Hand of the Man, and Chris Corsaro." Or check d'rectly: smallflowers@yahoo.com

Yup. Lathe-cut and everything, I believe.

WHERE ARE THE 16 RPM RECORDS WE WERE PROMISED?

You get nothing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

Yup. Lathe-cut and everything, I believe.

What?! Must find this! What's it called? What label is it on? Where can I get it??

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

*cough*

I got in quick on Time-Lag's 78 rpm two weeks ago

...as Ian posted. Time-Lag = label. Nemo = person who runs label. Nemo is your friend. Google can also be your friend. ;-)

(Sorry to be flip; it's just that I think it was already made clear!)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

Well yeah I already checked there and I couldn't find "Visitations" under either Catalog or Distributed Items.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

Just drop Nemo a line. He's the one on the other end of the e-mail address listed on the page.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:51 (twenty years ago)

you missed out on the 78. it was an edition of 30 or something and it sold out in about an hour.

― a, Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

Ah well. I was going to order one myself but as I have nothing to play something at 78 it would be kinda pointless.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:53 (twenty years ago)

Residual Echoes anyone? Sounds like German Oak gone psych garage with lotsa noise freak outs.
I second the Birchville Cat Hotel "Chi Vampires."
Anyone digging that Islaja from Finland? I find it haunting, in a female"Jandek meets a fairy in the woods" sense.
Those two James Blackshaw CDs are off the hook too. You can pick them up on Volcanic Tongue.
Just got the Aural Fit "Livestock" album. If you like Les Rallizes Denudes, you'll love this.
I highly, highly recommend Mountains on Apestaartje. A little more on the organica side of things, but seriously, mindbendingly beautiful. Lots of field recordings mixed with processed acoustic guitar ruminations and pinging, beatific keys.

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 19:56 (twenty years ago)

Fuck YES Residual Echoes! Chi Vampires rules, too. Most everything talked about on this thread is stuff I am fully digging. Well, the stuff that I have had a chance to hear, anyway.
Got a chance to see Astral Blessing play, and they were great. So the was the Spiral Joy Band. Mike Gangloff plus two other guys bowing tamboura, rubbing prayer bowls, banging gongs...generally getting it on.
Mike's solo banjo set was a stark but wonderful contrast.

― Trip Maker (Sean Witzman), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 20:05 (twenty years ago)

you missed out

get used to seeing this when shopping for time-lag stuff.

i love the first islaja cd, but i'd say lau nau's "kuutarha" might be even better. i'm real curious about residual echoes - the one comp track i've heard by them thus far was garbage. i'm hoping the cd's better.

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

Urdog's site reports of new record!! Anyone heard?

― jared, Wednesday, 13 April 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

Oh it's not out 'til the 19th
anyway the track on Secret Eye's website sounds good

― jared, Thursday, 14 April 2005 00:00 (twenty years ago)

i guess (?)...
i dont know what im going to do. im not very domestic.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Saturday, 1 October 2005 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

lets get back on the drone horse and talk about popol vuh!

i think i have all the reissues (so far) and they are all worth getting. i particularly like "die nacht der seele" and "das hohelied salamos."

Any advice here? Any albums I should leave out or replace with others? I'm thinking about dropping the Vibra Orc because well, I need money, and that cover art is simply hideous.

ha otm about the cover, wtf is up with that. but the samples i listened to at the aquarius records site sound awesome.

― amon (eman), Saturday, 1 October 2005 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

Travel around cheaply. Where in Italy will you be?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 1 October 2005 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

parma. its fairly close to milan (a little over an hour), but i dont know if the things im travelling to barcelona for exist in milan. mainly...music.

lets rename this thread emma's personal biography and friend relocation.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Saturday, 1 October 2005 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

Aw. (I was in Italy for a bit in July visiting friends in Padova, also got to Venice, Verona and Ferrara -- had a wonderful time.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 1 October 2005 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

its also about an hour and a half to venice but i cant picture that place being like anything but disneyland.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Saturday, 1 October 2005 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

Emma or emma would be a good name for a psychish band.(Emmaland?) Also Nanny or nanny. (Nannyland?)On same bill with Pram. xpost Vuh, re concern about what not to buy: the title track is the only track I like on City Raga. The notes are mostly fan letters from an expat wasting away in Yucatan, I think it was. She sent Fricke tapes of her extemporizing vocal lines, which sound really nice, kind of in between Bjork and Nelly Furtado, and "City Raga" suits her; guess she might've inspired it, cos most of the rest just sounds like second-rate car commercials. Hope she got paid, but anyway the only other note is from Fricke's daughter, thanking her for the tapes. Get it, but *cheap,* just for that track. (Though, come to think of it,"City Raga" was also on a couple of various artists promos you might be able to google.)

― don, Saturday, 1 October 2005 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

i cant picture that place being like anything but disneyland

Precisely. But it's simple -- just walk down the side roads where the tourists aren't.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 1 October 2005 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

Ian - I simply refuse to believe you don't like "Past the Moon" - it's the best Feathers song!!!! And also one of my favorite songs of the year! Listen again! (haven't heard the LP yet though)

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Saturday, 1 October 2005 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

Stepping back a bit, a demi-Visitations side project that came out on Time-Lag earlier this year (and is now as far as I can tell totally out of print), Garm's The Acid Skull 205, has as it turns out one of the best Black Sabbath covers I've ever heard. There's actually two, though "War Pigs" is a bit too muffled and fragmentary. "Symptom of the Universe," though, gets a full-on cover in a decades-old/field-recording guy-and-guitar style and just sounds amazing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 1 October 2005 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

ROGER ADULTERY.

dude, CLOYINGLY TWEE. ANNOYING VOCALS. MORE ELECTRIC GUITAR + POLYRHYTHMS PLS.

― Ian John50n (orion), Saturday, 1 October 2005 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

Hahahahhaa. I dunno, man, I think that song is incredible. I think Kurt is my favorite. He's definitely the most twee, but seems almost helplessly sincere. I am never not in the mood to hear that song.

What are you doing tonight and or monday? I'm doing some solo shows in the big city. Got any cocaine?

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Saturday, 1 October 2005 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

xpost"on Time-Lag earlier this year (and is now as far as I can tell totally out of print"): alas! Only Lula's Satwa remains in their catalog, right? No dis, but so glad his Paebiru is on Shadoks instead.

Time-Lag rules but lags in time it keeps things in catalogue (but at least we can get 'em while we can, and its cut-outs are more findable then prev issues of those albums)

― don, Sunday, 2 October 2005 00:57 (nineteen years ago)

time-lag shit goes for MONEY on ebay. someone told me that espers LP went for over $250 recently.

― ian j @ laura & jon (laurah), Sunday, 2 October 2005 02:19 (nineteen years ago)

seriously, why is this shit made in such limited copies? I love copy of Davenport's "The Hands of Worm Heaven" I got from Time Lag, number 158 out of only 223. I know more than 223 copies of this CD can sell. Why is this stuff so rare? It's really hard to get into psych/drone/freak stuff when you don't have a record player or use Soulseek.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 2 October 2005 02:26 (nineteen years ago)

damn, i really really want that espers LP. maybe i will just have to buy the british version.

― t0dd swiss (immobilisme), Sunday, 2 October 2005 03:53 (nineteen years ago)

― el sabor de "already sold out" (yournullfame), Sunday, 2 October 2005 03:58 (nineteen years ago)

Just wanted to point out that the Feathers songs that are repeats from the CDr are very different recordings (multitracked instead of live). Roger, thank you for liking my song. I've been hearing such good reactions to the record and also found Ian's reaction very refreshing.

― Kurt, Thursday, 6 October 2005 13:41 (nineteen years ago)

So I like the new Koenjihyakkei album way more than the new Ruins album (the latter of which is okay, but basically sounds the same as the other Ruins albums I've heard, all of which I thought were okay, none of which have ever blown me away, though I'm sure there are a few hundred I've never heard, so who knows?) Is that weird?

― xhuxk, Thursday, 6 October 2005 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

fuck no - koenjihyakkei is more awesome than Ruins

(and it's surreal to me to read chuck eddy posting about koenjihyakkei!!)

― Dominique (dleone), Thursday, 6 October 2005 14:10 (nineteen years ago)

Re: Time Lag. Doesn't lack of supply inflate demand? It's a psych/drone/freak headgame!

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 6 October 2005 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

I play the Feathers vinyl a lot. Where can i get the cdr?

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Thursday, 6 October 2005 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

xpost Time-Lag: maybe ltd. rights to material? Artists may not even own a lot of those anymore, as Lars, for instance, discovered when trying to track down masters and compile/release originals of Garage Inc. covers.(He did, but it took a while, and think could only do it as ltd. ed.)

― don, Thursday, 6 October 2005 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

>it's surreal to me to read chuck eddy posting about koenjihyakkei!<

why?

on the other hand, Made in Mexico = bleh.

(Maybe even worse than Sleeptyime Gorilla Museum, I dunno.)

― xhuxk, Thursday, 6 October 2005 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know, I guess it's kind of like seeing one of your friends namechecked in People. fwiw, the Ruins that's coming out on Skin Graft (Pallaschtom) is actually a remaster of an album that originally came out in 2000 - and this version does indeed sound better, harder to my ears

I'm all for the word about Koenjihyeakkei getting spread as far as possible btw

― Dominique (dleone), Thursday, 6 October 2005 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

burning star core cd gets a lot better toward the end of the final 14-minute track "through me", it turns out. but not much before the climactic ending really hold my attention (after playing the CD a whole bunch of times), and again, that second track "nyarlathotep" is unbearable bullshit.

― xhuxk, Friday, 7 October 2005 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

― irio, Tuesday, 11 October 2005 10:11 (nineteen years ago)

also, rereading his posts everthing is "booooooring" "a real snoozer" and "deadassed boring", maybe mr. eddy shouldn't be listening to and posting on the rolling psych/drone thread??

poor guy needs some coffee, he just can't seem to hear anything that interests him!!!

wahhh

― irio, Tuesday, 11 October 2005 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, I find plenty (see upthread, among many other places). Actually, if anything, I probably find *too many* records that interest me.

― xhuxk, Tuesday, 11 October 2005 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

dunno, sounds like catty snap judgments to me

― irio, Tuesday, 11 October 2005 12:16 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, if there's something remotely interesting about those records, why not tell me what it is? Not saying I might not be wrong. I *wanted* to like them, or else I wouldn't have spent time with them to begin with. If I'm missing something, what is it?

― xhuxk, Tuesday, 11 October 2005 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

Hell, I even went *back* to the Burning Star Core one after being bored with it. That's not a snap judgement; that's *dedication,* dude.

― xhuxk, Tuesday, 11 October 2005 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

So has anyone plunged into the Elegy Box yet? What are the highlights?

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Monday, 24 October 2005 00:23 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't heard the box set yet.

But I would like to recommend the Finnish band Tivol. Theres a new vinyl release out that combines both cdr eps.

I believe one of them used to be in Circle.
Reminds me a bit of early Ash ra Tempel.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Monday, 24 October 2005 00:36 (nineteen years ago)

The Bardo track is completely crazy!!

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Monday, 24 October 2005 01:25 (nineteen years ago)

The Bardo Pond track on the Buck Paco split is really good.

Also I ordered the 3 cdr live boris box from archivd and I've just got my hands on the mp3s and it is rocking!

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Monday, 24 October 2005 01:51 (nineteen years ago)

The Bardo Pond track on the Buck Paco split is really good.

So true! It starts off slowly, and I caught myself doubting in the majesty of the Pond, but halfway through it shifts and starts whipping me.

And here's a Fursaxa track from the Elegy Box: Fursaxa - Tura Tura and The Light Of The New Crescent

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Monday, 24 October 2005 04:08 (nineteen years ago)

looks good,there have been 2 compilations released this year that knock me off my feet the whole way through. By the Fruits You Shall Know the Roots and The Tone of the Universe = the Tone of the Earth

dunno the labels anymore but both are stuffed with the best drone/psych/freak released this year. i see u already talked about this up thread though. good

I would definitely like to hear By the Fruits at some point.

two weeks pass...

I am really enjoying this album Nadja: Truth Becomes Death.

I think i'll be buying this when I can.

Man, the only mentions of Nadja that come up in the search are made by you and I. I love Body Cage the mostest. If only I could find a record store that carried it.
