Ajilvsga - From The Black River To The Dead Sea


Ajilvsga
From The Black River To The Dead Sea (Music Your Mind Will Love You Mymwly0036 - 2005)
CDR, OOP


An early Ajilvsga release (the earliest, at least according to Discogs) on the sadly defunct Music Your Mind Will Love You (I love that name!). Not the best Ajilvsga release, but still worth listening to. And it's on CDR, and as much as I like cassettes, this is a far more convenient format (come on, throw me the first stone!).
I should have taken a picture of the whole handmade artwork, but I told you I was lazy...

Ajilvsga / Capricorn Wings - Rights Of The Solemn Ceremonies


Ajilvsga / Capricorn Wings
Rights Of The Solemn Ceremonies (Goaty Tapes, 2008)
C58 edition of 100

I don't really like split releases... This one is no exception : I like the Ajilvsga side, but the other one is just barely OK. Don't know much about Capricorn Wings but they are French and have another tape out on Abandon Ship Records, so I guess they can't be all wrong!.
t would have made a nice C30 with the two Ajilvsga tracks, but at least with mp3 files you don't have to rewind to skip the unwanted track.
Fancy hand-cut labels à la Goaty Tapes.

The North Sea - Underneath The Jesus Tree


The North Sea
Underneath The Jesus Tree (Barl Fire Recordings BFR013 - 2006)
CDR Edition of 200


Brad Rose solo for a change, under his The North Sea moniker. This is relatively early The North Sea (2006), that means more acoustic folky songs, complete with voclas, bird chirps and guitar strumming, quite far from the sound of today... It's great anyway, as everything Brad Rose touches.

Ajilvsga - Winter Hunt


Ajilvsga
Winter Hunt (Abandon Ship Records ASR027 - 2008)
C50 Edition of 100, OOP


Three track cassette released by Abandon Ship Records in 2008. This is without doubt one of my favourite Ajilvsga release. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Period Disc 2 is alive!

I've posted a new link for Jonathan Coleclough's Period limited second CD. If you're interested, just go back a couple of posts...

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...
