R.H.Y.:YAU
"Contiguous"
PURE 55-2 CD $8.00
22 extremely unsettling tracks of MASONNA meets RUNZELSTIRN & GURGLESTOCK, in which an uneasy quiet and malfunctioning subsonic rumble is unpredictably yet masterfully shattered by jarring explosions and flatulent ugliness. Incredible vocal yelps, burps, screams, caged-animal roars, and speaking-in-tongues, all monstrously distorted, are among the many sonic ingredients in this delightfully nauseating stew. (PURE)
R.L. BURNSIDE
"Four Women"
SFTRI 494-7 7" $4.00
The hype says this guy is to the blues what the Sex Pistols were to punk. Excuse me, is he like 150 years old or something? The hype also says he did an album with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion last year that sold 30,000 copies. La de da. (SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY)

The debut full-length by this New York combo takes its cues from the late '70s/early '80s post punk scene (AU PAIRS, GANG OF FOUR, MISSION OF BURMA, THE CURE) and combines it with a modern dose of inspiration and style, edgy, melodic and danceable all at once. Features ex-members of GARDEN VARIETY, SLEEPASAURUS, LONG DISTANCE RUNNER and MILHOUSE. (GERN BLANDSTEN)

RADIOPUHELIMET
"Hygiene"
VIRUS 155-7 7" $4.00
Aggro-rock with a distorted edge from Finland, but sung in English. The 6 songs are short, sharp and to the point, sounding a bit like Kepone only heavier. (ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES)
RADIOSONDE
"Meter Sickness"
GF 003-2 CD $7.75
The crackling static world of San Francisco sound artist Scott Arford: densely layered collages of radio static, sounds from TV picture tubes and field recordings, vibrating sound structures of hidden harmonies and overtones, sick electronic beats and thick feverish tones. (GROUND FAULT)

RAINER MARIA
"Atlantic"
PRC 029-2 CD5 $6.10
Three songs with the band at its most intimate and high-fidelity, opening with grinding, jangular guitar, then slamming into soft focus on the title tune, followed by a dimly layered vocal, inviting the listener to sit closer to the speaker, with the final tune a sort of "tabula rasa" Mid-Western style, wiping the slate clean. (POLYVINYL)
RAINER MARIA
"Hell and High Water"
PRC 038-7 7" $4.20
Two songs from the sessions for their upcoming album, "A Better Version of Me." (POLYVINYL)
RAINER MARIA
"Look Now Look Again"
PRC 024-1 LP $8.25
PRC 024-2 CD $9.65
While ferociously independent, the album has a sense of pop-musical history. Listening to punk rock and Brit-pop along with a tinge of metal, they moved backward through sixties rock, early folk and jazz. While the majority of independent music oscillates between driving hooks and quiet drawn-out pop, it's the collision of the two that positions RAINER MARIA's second album as a compelling music endeavors. (POLYVINYL)
RAINER MARIA

PRC 013-7 7" $4.00
Two beautiful songs that suddenly change, come together and fall apart again. Hand numbered in handmade sleeves. (POLYVINYL)

4 tracks of devastating Japanese hardcore ala Deathside. (SOUND POLLUTION)
RAKE
"Art Ensemble of Rake / The Tell-Tale Moog"
VHF 18-2 2xCD $10.70
The first disc of this set is 4 immense slices of improvised but carefully constructed sound, with Can-like mantras, bizarre electronic collages, dense 5 piece interplay, and a stretch of ambient musings. The 2nd disc is completely different, with a mayhem of old test records, punk noise, electronic bleeps, incompetent guitar tuning, and other agitating junk. (VHF)
RAKE
"Motorcycle Shoes"
MLRAKE 01-7 7" $4.00

RALF WEHOWSKY
"Nameless Victims"
MKCD 020-2 CD3 $7.15
Otherwise known as RLW (of P16.D4), Wehowsky creates here a world of abrupt collisions of solid objects, floating in a surrounding void of silence, and often collecting into short noise "conversations." Phillipp Ulrich joins in the fun on contrabass, with plucked and bowed string sounds. French import. (METAMKINE)
RALPH SOLO
"Car Accidents, Guitar Accidents"
BBPTCRS 01-2 CD $4.00
Very Sebadoh-like bedroom guitar musings and daydreams, lo-fi melancholie and wistfulness. Yes, the price is for real. Minimal packaging, of course, but at 33 songs and 74 minutes, it's a full CD. (BLACKBEAN & PLACENTA)
RAMBLIN' JAMES & THE BILLY BOPPERS
"Which Way the Wind Blows"
EF 1011-7 7" $4.15

Aggressive guitar pummel from the UK in the vein of Skullflower. Those into intense industrial guitar noise undoubtedly are familiar with these guys, the rest of you should be. (SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY)

BSR 008-2 CD $8.50

Brazilian hardcore veterans who put out the first South American HC album back in 1983. Raw sounding and intense, with a mix of crust, metal and '90s punk, not too far astray from elements of LOGICAL NONSENSE, SEPULTURA and old SLAYER, but with more severity and vocals that turn stomachs inside-out. Sung in Portuguese, except one in English. (ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES)

"Descanse em Paz"
TRLP 095-1 LP $10.50

Reissue of the band's second studio album, circa 1986. One of the brightest legends of the early Brazilian hardcore scene, RATOS DE PORAO's "Descanse em Paz" (Rest in Peace) is clearly an LP one step ahead of the burgeoning crossover movement, rivaling RAW POWER's "Screams from the Gutter" with its sheer hardcore intensity and metallic thrash elements. Screaming, fast, insane hardcore from the poverty stricken streets of Brazil. Maybe what front man Gordo said in 1986 is the key to the band's sound: "We hate heavy metal... What we do is trash." Gatefold sleeve, deluxe 220 gram red vinyl, Spanish import. (TRALLA)

CRYPT 031-1 LP $8.85
CRYPT 031-2 CD $10.20
THE finest purveyors of the most VARIED bag of ROOTS-ROCK slop to ever hit the planet, the Raunch Hands called it quits in 1993. Their irreverent skimming of the seedy under-belly of 50s R&B, instrumental roar, C&W, soul, CCR, Beefheart-blues, "Exile"-era Stones, 70s punk-rock, etc saw 'em lay waste to heaps of obscure and just-plain classics.

"Payday"

"self titled"
MLRAX 01-1 LP $11.60
Originally released in 1978, this LP took Belgium by storm. Following the success of the Kids' first LP, Phillips was on the lookout for new punk talent. What they found was Raxola. Phillips gave them a recording deal on the condition that they "Punk up" their songs. The resulting sound was amazing. The fact that most copies didn't make it to the public made the original LP nearly impossible to find. (MISC. LABELS)

"Live in Taiwan"
RRR 103-1 7" $4.85
Another classic noise slug-fest from these cut-ups, where disconcerting noise outbursts collide with agonized cries. At once humorous and disturbing, like a soundtrack to some violent, severely twisted cartoon. (RRR)
RUPIE EDWARDS
"Ire Feelings, Chapter & Version"
TROJAN 281-2 CD $11.70
This album is about "version," the Jamaican practice of having every track use the same backing, with creative alterations by producers & DJs. This has 22 different versions of the early 70's hit "Everyday Wondering" by Johnny Clarke, with DJ cuts, dub versions, and more. UK import. (TROJAN)
RUTHIE AND THE WRANGLERS
"Rockabilly Song #10"/"Harper Valley PTA"
SPIN 011-7 7" $4.15
Swingin' honky tonk rockabilly and country western from Washington DC, with a great singer who can wrestle those notes straight to the ground. (SPINOUT)
RYE
"New Sheriff in Town"
GERN 018-7 7" $4.00
Over the edge psycho tension rules on these 3 songs, where the guitars scream in terror and the singer sounds like he's been doing nothing but gulping coffee for 3 days straight. Oh yeah, the horse vs. cowboy cover art is of the roll-on-floor-laughing variety. (GERN BLANDSTEN)
