BM 12-2 CD5 $6.55

VIRUS 190-2 CD $10.50

PACIFIC 231
"Oudjat Millenium Phase"
ARTDIR IV-2 CD $11.60
One 42-minute-long track that moves from a remarkably primitivistic take on guitar-drums-vocals to spaced-out banshees to electro-ambience to a more aggressive gumbo of electronic and found sounds, and then back to the devil's choir. And that's just the beginning. Swedish import. (ART DIRECTE)

"The Secret's Out!"
RAWSUG 01-7 7" $4.00
Berkeley girl-band with a trashy, no-fi garage squall for a sound (Junebug sounds like she sings thru a cardboard megaphone) and funny, way-raunchy lyrics to songs with titles like "Cheap But Hot," "Fast'n'Easy," and "Hot'n'Horny."

PEELED HEARTS PASTE
"self titled"
IMOPJO 00-2 CD $11.30
Monster distorto noise-o-rama, with a twist: most of the sounds are quiet, even delicate to begin with, but then outrageously overloaded for a surreal, cartoony effect. Australia native Lucas Abela (featured in the current Bananafish) coaxes tense, unpredictable, alternately goofy and terrifying sonic mysteries from instruments like "bridge, humming bar, voice, acoustic guitar, dictaphone, crap stereo." Then just as you've adjusted to the racket, he shatters you with a sudden burst of silence or hushed, haunting micro sounds. All in all, a thoroughly engaging CD. Australian import. (DUAL PLOVER)

"Applied Ignorance"
VIRUS 263-1 LP $8.85
VIRUS 263-2 CD $10.50
This is the sound of THE SCREAMERS and GILBERT & SULLIVAN going terribly wrong. Eerie, grinding keyboards mix with driving bass, thundering drums, wall-of-sound guitar and frantic, desperate vocals in a blend of old school punk, deathrock, and no wave. Their live shows have become stuff of legend too, with singer Hopeless sometimes going so far as to handcuff himself to unsuspecting fans. (ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES)

HOBHUT 124-1 LP $8.40
HOBHUT 124-2 CD $9.50
The third Phantom Surfers album is a total raving goof, as you might expect from these surf guitar crazies. Slot racing is the theme, and the cover art and insert (right down to the phony label name & "file under Slot Cars") are perfect. (HOBBY HUT)

PHANTOM SURFERS, THE
"18 Deadly Ones!"
ED 218-1 LP $8.40
By special arrangement with the band, we've managed to score a number of these, their first-ever 1991 LP. It's rip-roarin' vintage Phantom Surfers, with a pack of traditional-styled surf instrumentals (and one vocal number) done lo-fi style, just as you might have heard it coming out of many a garage in Huntington Beach in 1963. (NORTON)

FUN 1003-1 LP $7.25

PHILIP PERKINS
"Neighborhood with a Sky"
FUN 1002-1 LP $7.25
This album was conceived of with a "neighborhood" of short, highly evocative audio pieces, similar in size and structure, that would present an audioscape to the listener in much the same way as a neighborhood of buildings and streets presents a landscape to one walking through it. (FUN MUSIC)

"Our Pledge"
SWILL 012-1 LP $9.85
SWILL 013-2 CD $9.15
Evoking the spirits of both rhythm and melody while maintaining a serene detachment, this experimental trio creates smoky, hazy synth/guitar/tape/voice soundscapes that are both minimalistically spare and idealistically rich. You can hear echos of late '70s-early '80s synth artists like Gary Numan and Slava Ranko, but central member Scott Foust was himself half of the legendary experimental synth outfit XX Committee, and it shows.

PILGRIMS, THE
"Plymouth Rock"
PUG 028-2 CD $6.55
This is a soundtrack, not to a film or play, but more as a soundtrack correlating to the hardcore scientific information discovered by University of North Sacramento scholars. In the 17th century, long haired skinny people and their music were shunned in their own country. Apparently these pilgrims invented a primitive recording device, and were able to put these "recordings" onto some form of black vinyl disk. These are the very songs that you hold in your hand. Special statement by Professor Perry: "I do not feel that this "Jar Jar Binks" song is truly authentic to the time of the pilgrims. How could these people have made a song inspired by Star Wars, or Will Smith?" Plus they have a web site! Whatever hypothesis you might hold, if you listen to this CD you will dance, and that, my friends, is timeless. Fuzzed out, keyboard and female backing vocal heavy beat music for any generation. Cover art by S.britt of GROOVIE GHOULIE fame. (S.P.A.M.)

TMU 079-1 12" $8.55
TMU 079-2 CD $9.00
This Brooklyn, NY group began in 1999, with some referring to their sound as "disco punk." Others simply refer to similar bands, such as LIQUID LIQUID, ESG, PIL, MEDIUM MEDIUM, or any other band with 3 letters or two words repeated in their name. This is percussion oriented, with Hirsham from BLACK DICE pulverizing the drums with his erratic and machine-like style. The guitar is played by a nameless NYC graffiti artist, who creates a unique sound through the use of effects. The female vocals are used like an instrument, with yelps, screeches and wails, bringing to mind PATTY WATERS. All of this with a dance beat in the background! Colored vinyl, with silkscreened covers by Neil Burke. (TROUBLEMAN)

PLANTABISS
"The Color of Foul Thoughts"
ETY 01-2 CD $7.75
11 songs of "alien grindcore," extreme and bizarre. Heavy, pummeling thrash beats and intense, crushing guitar riffage merely set the stage for the elements of this CD that really set it apart: spooky, mechanical sounds and completely crazed vocals that move from unearthly robot voices to maniacal screams with an eerie heartlessness. MAN IS THE BASTARD, MARILYN MANSON, and DEVO all mushed together. Extreme music for open minds! (ETY)

It's about fuckin' time. Half studio and half live, this is a good summary of what's great about this band from Scotland (also found on the Sign Language box set from Allied and the Komotion Intl. Vol 2 CD.) Excellent playing, fun, catchy tunes and relevant lyrics. Essential Canadian import. (ELECTRODE)

POLKACIDE
"Hardcore 2/4"
DOG 005-2 CD $7.75
POLKACIDE is what happens when a bunch of punks, musical oddballs and confirmed barflies gets turned on to trad polka. Outrageous, gut-busting humor, really great, high-energy playing, and attitude all over the place. This ain't your grandma's polka band, kiddo. If anybody cares, this is their 2nd album, released some 13 years after the first. How's that for drunken procrastination? (DOGPATCH)

POLYSICS
"Hey! Bob! My Friend!"
AM 070-P LP pic $8.85
AM 070-2 CD $9.65
Visually, a Japanese equivalent to DEVO, right down to the yellow jumpsuits! Musically, an indescribable mixture of electronic wizardry, mixed with the aggressiveness of fellow countrymen the BOREDOMS, raw guitars, and tons of energy, more like MELT BANANA or the UK's infamous RANCID HELL SPAWN (without the raunchy humor). Funny thing is that this could appease an electronica crowd. The vinyl is a full color picture disc! (ASIAN MAN)

PONTIAC BROTHERS
"Big Black River"

"In Frisco"/"Squarehead"
AMAR 581-7 7" $4.00
Joe Pop-O-Pie, the man who refused to just go away & shut up, has crawled back out of the woodwork with a new single, his first recording in about 6 years. Raw and direct rock, with his infamous sense of humor intact! (AMARILLO)

"Split EP"
EERIE 005-7 7" $4.00

TR 719-7 7" $4.35

More guitar-based and less tape-based than many Pork Queen morsels. Perhaps Jim O'Rourke induced lengthy spells of quieter, nearly ambient guitar improvisations. (SCRATCH (CANADA))

PORK QUEEN / NOGGIN
"Split LP"
TRACKS 06-1 LP $8.10

Merzbow's Masami Akita recorded this material in 1984, and distributed it himself in handmade packaging. Now it's available all together, in a somewhat mass-produced fashion. Noise, noise and more noise! Oh yeah, the cover is x-rated. (RRR)

This first post-The Mike Gunn project for guitarist/vocalist John Cramer owes a big debt to early-'70s guitar psych heaviness a la Deep Purple, but you can also hear elements from many other spots during the last 25 years lurking about in the mix.

CH 13-2 CD $14.30
One pissed off dude and his fuzz-bass create a one-man middle-finger minimalist hardcore song cycle that sounds like it's on the verge of complete deterioration, and is likely to have a similar effect on your mind. PUNKU BOI ("Punk Boy") brings new definition to the word snotty with his enervating high-pitched whine, and his bass playing is so rumbly there's no need for a band. In fact, once you hear this there's no need for any more punk rock, as this is its ultimate expression. Either that or it is the funniest thing you'll ever hear. Japanese import. (LESS THAN TV)
