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!

Christoph Heemann - Time Is The Simplest Thing

Christoph Heemann
Time Is The Simplest Thing (Three Poplars 3P9 - 2003)
CDR, 2 editions of 72 (signed and numbered) and ca. 30 (unsigned), both in hand-made covers

Extra rare and extra limited, and extra great! (or should I say Superschön!!!?). Christoph Heemann solo on the Mirror label.

Monos - Collage

Monos
Collage (Fungal 03 - 2003)
CDR, 3 editions of 100, 50 and 50 copies with different covers

Here is what was said at the time on ICR :

The latest album from Darren Tate and Colin Potter as Monos. Field recordings by the former are processed and manipulated by the latter almost beyond recognition and electronic sounds are discreetly added. Slow changes, but the journey ends in a very different place to where it started. Three editions.

Expect more Monos / Darren Tate on this blog in the future... (and Monos should release a new album in the following days? weeks? months? years?)

Ajilvsga - White Path / Red Path

My first rip from a cassette. Hope the sound is OK enough, side B is perhaps a bit too loud...

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
Of course you know that Ajilvsga is the duo of Brad Rose and Nathan Young, and well... it's just great!

Link removed, my rip was just too bad... I'll make a new post with a newand better rip.

First Transmission

I would love to post a lot, but :

1. I'm lazy
2. I'm not sure i'm competent enough
3. I don't have very much time for myself...

So you mustn't expect regular updates, and they may well be quite far apart. But here goes my first post proper... :
