Ajilvsga - White Path / Red Path - new rip



Ajilvsga
White Path / Red Path (PM31 - 2008)
C40 Edition of 100, OOP

Thick clouds of swirling electronics, walls of distortion, phased guitars, tar, and electricity riveted together for one of the heaviest and densest Ajilvsga recordings to date. Melodies briefly stumble to the surface, only to be turned inside out by the chaos. High bias chrome tapes with 4 panel J-card and obi.
This cassette was released by Peasant Magik


I've made a (hopefully) better rip than before, here it is :

Ajilvsga - Archived Bones


Ajilvsga
Archived Bones (Dial Square Tapes DSQ001)
C21 edition of 20

Very limited again (20 copies only too), this is some 'older' material from 2007 release on the even-more-limited-than-Digitalis Limited Brad Rose label, Dial Square Tapes.
It will make your bones rattle indeed...

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!
