Ajilvsga - White Sky Monster

Ajilvsga
White Sky Monster (Open Range Records ORR-017)
C32 edition of 50 hand-numbered copies

Tape in hand-made stapled felt packaging, with hand-numbered insert. It's a bit cheap looking in my opinion, but the translucent green tape is nice and the music is Ajilvsga at its best. On the quite obscure Open Range Records label (but they have also released one of the first Sean McCann, Boomerangutan, so they seem to be worth checking out, aren't they?).

Ajilvsga - Gathering Of Owls

Ajilvsga
Gathering Of Owls (Digitalis Limited ltd#6)
C42 edition of 72 hand-numbered copies

I had quite a difficult time finding this one (got it on f* e-bay...), so it's one of my favourites. The artwork is pure Ajilvsga with the undecipherable black-metally logo. Pure drone-noise bliss.

Ajilvsga - Green Crow

Ajilvsga
Green Crow (Digitalis Limited / Peyote Tapes)
C33 edition of 20

Very limited (20 copies!), this tape was a tour only edition sold at a show on March 23rd at "The Monolith" with Barn Owl & Language Of Light. Some copies were later sold by Brad Rose and I managed to get one...
It is the third instalment in the 'insert-colour-here' Crow after Red and Blue which were even more limited and are all co-released by Digitalis Limited (Brad's label) and Peyote Tapes (Nathan's label).
Simple artwork but great music!

Lazier than ever...

I've finally found the time and courage to rip some out-of-print Ajilvsga tapes. So you can expect (finally and hopefully) a proper update of my dormant blog...

For now i have posted a new link for White Path / Red Path below, and I'll fix the other ones later.



... later : new links posted (with new rips @ 256k) for Monos and Andrew Liles


...and later still : new link for the Christoph Heemann.

More Ajilvsga tomorrow, I promise!

Andrew Liles - Iron Lung - Glass Bones

Andrew Liles
Iron Lung - Glass Bones (Twisted Knister FLUPP016 - 2007)
Business Card CDR, edition of 40 in cigarette box

A real gem this time, with a (short) track by Andrew Liles in a very unusual edition. The CDR is of the "business card" type, inserted in a cardboard box, the size and shape of a packet of cigarette, complete with a health warning : "www.andrewliles.com causes fatal heart and lung diseases". To make things even better, the 40 copies were available exclusively in selected cigarette machines in Bremen, Germany as part of the Twisted Knister Automatenmusik-Mikrogalerie. (In fact I got my copy directly from Mr Liles, I'm a real cheat...). Enjoy!

I told you I was lazy...

I am ashamed of my lack of updates. I have a lot of music I could post (including a bunch of recent and already out-of-print Ajilvsga tapes), but I haven't found the time (or courage) yet...
I promise I'll post more soon!
