ian i'll burn you an 'advance' of the double album and send it with yr double leps cdr (unless i forget - shit's crazy here lately)

JW LISTEN TO ONE SIX FINGER SATELLITE ALBUM.

Also - what happened to the Virgin Eye Blood Brothers? I liked them too.

get another double leopards album! i think the new LP on eclipse is kinda minimal and bland, but what do I know? since i think you're a CD guy, you should get "Savage Summer Sun" on Hospital. It can be ordered from a variety of distros. Probably at the same time as that virgin eye blood bros. tape.

also, search GHQ; 1/2 of virgin eye blood bros + 1/4 double leopards + other dude. i haven't heard it. but you might like it!

I am a CD guy only out necessity - I would love a turntable, just can't afford one.

And cassettes! I can't do cassettes. :(

The Invisible Pyramid
6 CD compilation

LVD's second compilation and spiritual successor to Drunken Fish's Harmony of the Spheres box (EP length submissions), but instead of 6 artists, there are now 31. The set features all exclusive material, and the total running time clocks in around 7 hours and 36 minutes. This compilation, like the first Invisible Pyramid comp (2003), finds its inspiration in the writings of Loren Eiseley (naturalist, anthropologist, and essayist); for whom an elegy to the first victims of the still-escalating wave of man-made mass extinction seemed appropriate. Each artist has dedicated their track to a recently extinct species (with a short bio), and Jeff Knoch (Urdog) has written a substantial essay to accompany the set.

Disc 1: Black Forest/Black Sea, Birchville Cat Motel, Wolfmangler, Loren Chasse, Bardo Pond
Disc 2: es, Andrea Belfi & Stefano Pilia, Sunken, Kulkija, Tomu Tonttu
Disc 3: UP-TIGHT, Flies Inside the Sun, Uton, mudboy, Steven R. Smith
Disc 4: Keijo, Doktor Kettu, My Cat is an alien, One Inch of Shadow, Fursaxa
Disc 5: Ashtray Navigations, Peter Wright, Geoff Mullen, Urdog, Miminokoto
Disc 6: Area C, Ben Reynolds, Seht, Avarus, Renato Rinaldi, Matt De Gennaro

"Providence label Last Visible Dog has been a prime source of mind-bending sound for a while, disseminating what its website calls “the NZ underground, American outsider free-folk, Japanese Psych-rock, and the on-going European ‘freak-out’.” But with The Invisible Pyramid: Elegy Box, the imprint has outdone itself and pretty much everyone else, spreading nearly eight hours of probing music by 31 artists across six bulging discs. Inspired by the nature writing of Loren Eiseley, each EP-length contribution is dedicated to an extinct species. Swimming through the set’s engulfing sounds while reading about each vanished creature, it’s tempting to view The Invisible Pyramid as artistic preservation, an attempt to save some great marginal music from extinction. However, Jeff Knoch’s heady liner notes suggest a subtler connection between fringe music and neglected animals. Lamenting man’s inability to recognise that “non-human animals act, think, and exist entirely independent of any human design”, Knoch sees a solution in “beings who walk the fine tightrope betwixt our own kind and the wholly other”. Specifically, he means dogs. “Gazing into the eyes of a dog, one sees both a reflection of oneself and a glimpse of an intelligence so alien and other,” Knoch explains. “[The dog] affords the disenchanted human…a hitherto unseen eternal openness, where everything is experienced as newness and as it is.” Maybe drone, free-folk, noise and all the outsider sounds on The Invisible Pyramid are the dogs of music, halfway between man-made composition and the “as it is” sound of nature. Such airy philosophising might be a bit much, but even if the music here isn’t the link between man and nature, it sure sounds like it.

There's also the 'A Hole is True' CD on Troubleman, another 2005 release which is maybe closer to that recentish Eclipse LP

The GHQ CD-R is good, but doesn't really sound anything like Double Leopards or Virgin Eye Blood Brothers - its got more of a rural drone folk psych vibe going on, lotsa tony conrad-esque violin

maybe give hototogisu a go, marcia bassett of dbl leopards and matthew bower making large scale noize drones, nice stuff, nice and HEAVY

haha it's true, also sunroof, if you can call that a band

dude hanging out: so you coming out with us for drinks or what?

guy at counter: i already told you, after I close up I'm heading over to that double leopards rooftop show.

dude hanging out: you've seen them 8 or 9 times, why don't you bail and hang out with us?

guy at counter: i don't have a choice in this, it's my bag, man.

lots of switchin' around early-90s indie style. pete's got some cool space echo box (or something like it). they did song songs (ie. defined parts, vox, whatnot) and improvs and jams, etc. pretty long set. sounded good, held my attention most of the time (and when it didn't, it didn't like bore me that much).
