THIS WEEK'S FEATURED ITEMS

WAREHOUSE FIND! ONLY 15 COPIES! LP - Chicago Triangle - Emergence (Black Wax, Ltd 200)   $17.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "The Chicago Triangle are one of the city's most mysterious bands- for decades their 1977 lp was just a rumor, but Permanent Records found a copy and tracked the members down for an imminent vinyl reissue. They all grew up here (drummer Roberto Aguilera Jr moved from Texas in 1963, and singer /guitarist Jose Tarr Perez Inostroza arrived Puerto Rico in '65). And they got into music young: guitarist Dave Guereca played with his drummer brother, Felix; keyboardist Marvey M Esparza started accordion lessons at age 9, and Inostroza and Aguilera joined their first bands at 12 and 13. Aguilera met Esparza around 1970 and they started a group together in '75. Esparza was already a musical mentor to his neighbor Guereca; Aguilera knew Inostroza, nicknamed "Tarr Baby." Thus the Chicago Triangle were born, and soon they were gigging at proms, in clubs, at the Hubbard Street Murals, and on WCIU TV. The Triangle dropped their self titled debut LP on their own Dynamite label in 1977, and more than 500 people came to the release show at Annunciation Church on Wabansia. The album is a curious mix of ballads and whacked-out rock 'n' roll, with phased drums, Latin percussion, soaring vocals punky fuzz guitar. In 1978 the band recorded a 2nd album in Spanish for Rey Rubio (a popular Chicago DJ), but copies of it have proved even more elusive. The Chicago Triangle soon had to compete with disco (they got a disco ball and triangular PA speakers), but as Guereca put it "Disco Won." After the band split in 1981, Guereca switched to heavy rock; he currently plays in Felix, named after his deceased brother. Esparza has stayed busy with bands and a home studio. And Aguilera has been in several groups too, including the Juju Kings. Inostroza is the only member to leave Chicago; he played in Stryker in Florida, and after a car accident in 2008 moved to Michigan where he is still making music." - Plastic Crimewave of The Secret History Of Chicago Music

LP - Jimmy Whispers - Summer In Pain   $13.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN LP - Jimmy Whispers - Summer In Pain - Colored Vinyl   $15.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "Who is this Jimmy Whispers," you'll ask yourself the first time you hear him, whether he's leaping out at you metaphorically from your speakers or leaping out at you literally from the stage during a live performance fraught with physicality and emotion. It's a good question, who this guy is, and there's no easy answer. He's been called Chicago's "greatest new homegrown musical enigma" by the Tribune's Jessica Hopper, and a "weirdo loner" by himself. While both of those descriptions are correct, neither one's complete. He's an enigma, true, but one who sings directly from the heart about the broadest of human feelings: the need to love and be loved. Yes, he's a loner, but one who spends his free time organizing basketball tournaments to raise money for community nonprofits, and ends his concerts by mashing audience members together to slow dance to Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World." Jimmy Whispers is a walking, talking, singing, and dancing bundle of paradoxes. Greatest among them, perhaps, is his ability to transform the most seemingly basic melodies sketched out hastily with an electric organ on an iPhone voice message into such a profound racket, or how this dirty weirdo from Chicago managed to insinuate himself into the tradition of great American sentimental balladeers. His music will make you laugh and cry and dance and, unless you're terminally jaded and hardhearted, it'll make you genuinely feel something. And no matter how many times you listen you'll keep asking yourself, for a multitude of reasons, "Who is this fucking guy?" - Moniker Records

LP - Headstone - Still Looking - Original 1974 Stock ACID ARCHIVES WORTHY PRIVATE PRESS HARD ROCK / PSYCH FROM MID 70S COLUMBUS OHIO!!!!!!!     $199.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "The opening seven minute title track is a killer journey through local underground guitar psych, and there's plenty more good stuff aboard including some more lyrical moves. Underrated LP, solid all through, better than many $1000 LPs. Great generic sleeve of eagle "still looking". The band also had three non-LP 45s which are pretty good." -Acid Archives "Headstone consisted of three Fiynn brothers and a friend Torn Applegate who recorded this, their sole album at the Rome Recording Studios in Columbus Ohio in 1974…This album is full of fuzz and extended guitar solos and most of the tracks are well constructed with lots of tempo changes and well played with super swirling Hammond, hard drumming, hard riffing and lots of guitar effects."- rockasteria.blogpsot.com

7in - Headstones - What People Say b/w Carry Me On   $19.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN Another week at Permanent Records means more thrilling finds of original stock copies of rare rock from days gone by!  This time we're supplying OG copies of 70's heavy rock the Headstones What People Say b/w Carry Me On single on Rome Records outta Columbus, Ohio!  The a-side What People Say is a soul warming fuzzed up jam with desperate vocals, killer guitar work and a moaning organ and the b-side Carry Me On is a prime cut of 70's hard rock bone crunchin' with a gnarly guitar tone, sleazy solos, pulsing hippie bass grooves and is full of driving head nod attitude.  This one's a total ripper gang so grab 'em while the grabbin's good!

LP - Dead Farmers - Wasteland - Import   $17.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "Dead Farmers are a band near and dear to the heart of R.I.P. Society and in some ways a catalyst for the founding of the label. When first hearing Dead Farmers as a young person recently thrust into the Sydney music underground they made me reassess the validity of rock ‘n’ roll in the nu-rock new millenium. As we’re now again in a time where there’s plenty of party rock schmucks in the spotlight Dead Farmers are a group that makes me feel ok about having an affinity for rock music. This band is not concerned with being saviour of rock or any set-the-world-on-fire type notoriety, their music comes from a personal love and desire to play music in a way that’s oblivious to trend. It is a hard task explaining why this band is more vital or deserving of your time and money over the hordes of other groups in the vaguely defined spectrum of garage rock…. but they are. Dead Farmers were the first group released on Melbourne’s Aarght record label and although the bands agenda has not really changed over the last 8 years (their palate certainly hasn’t expanded), they’ve developed a greater feel and ability to harness their economic approach to rock with a more potent and powerful result. Their second album, Wasteland was self recorded live to ½” tape, with a rough mix then sent to Mikey Young to improved upon. The album is free of reverb or other post-recording effects in an effort to present the music strictly on the merit of the songs and performance, an approach inspired by Australian no-frills rock groups AC/DC and from a more localised D-I-Y perspective Mikey’s former group Eddy Current Suppression Ring. The band has a deep appreciation (as opposed to shallow, retro chic appreprication) of pre-punk 70s rock such as The Stones, Faces, Neil Young, Blue Cheer, the Saints, CCR and The Stooges via a take-charge, masters-of-your-own-universe Minuteman-esque ethos and work ethic. Although a strange lineage to throw them unto I can see parallels with Cosmic Psychos. Not that three young men that grew up together in Sydney’s eastern suburbs have anything to do with being ‘down on the farm’ but in the sense that the medium of punk-informed-rock is open to all character types. Heck I’d say is at it’s healthiest when played by those outside of the routinely marketed typical rock star figure." - RIP Society

LP - Low Life - Dogging - Import BACK IN PRINT!!!   $17.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "I think Low Life’s Dogging was promised back in 2012 but incurred some setbacks - I’m sure a large part of it was the passing of Brendon Annesley, whose Negative Guest List label was to release it originally - but it’s finally arrived two years later, brought to you jointly by R.I.P. Society and Disinfect Records. The record, dedicated wholly to Annesley, is biting, dark, and often self-flagellating, outdoing the punks and besting brainless revivalist goth acts in under half an hour. The A-side picks up where the great Sydney Darbs 7” (buy it) left off, keeping things taut and plenty aggressive: the nasty “Speed Ball” feeds right into “Down at the Dogs,” the latter folding in on itself to scream “YOU FUCKIN’ DOG!” before tearing back into form. The B-side starts with the scathing “DNA” and then things begin to slowly stretch out, beginning with the tense, sprawling “Dream Machine” followed by the almost wistful “Emmie.” The change-up works to the band’s advantage, swapping driving rhythms for heavy textures to keep things fresh, in turn allowing the acerbic closer “Friends” to hit twice as hard as it would otherwise. It’s a bonus that everything sounds great on here, undoubtedly a byproduct of the album’s extended gestation time. Dogging was every bit worth the wait, a provocative diatribe against sickening aspects of modern society that get swept under the rug. My favorite record to come out of Australia so far this year." -Goodbye Sunball blog

LP - Short Term Memory - Effect Of Excess - Original 1984 Stock   $19.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN Dead stock original copies of this 1984 LP! Short Term Memory were a synth-wave band out of Kansas. Prior to “Effect Of Excess”, the band released two cassettes: “Every Head Needs Cleansing” and “Lost In Gundam”. All their output was released on their own Silly Poodle Music label with the help of local Kansas label Fresh Sounds Inc. (Mortal Micronotz, The Embarrasment, etc.). They appeared on a few compilations as well, but beyond this, nothing is known.

LP - Sonny Vincent And Spite - Spiteful   $14.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "Sonny Vincent’s skill has always been the ability to record soulful songs that had a backbone. Ever since his time in the Testors, he has rocked, focusing on blues based punk riffage, but almost all of his songs are tempered by a sort of Howlin’ Wolf earnestness. So, it’s fitting that for Spiteful he builds a “supergroup” of members who truck in a similar trade. Featuring Vincent on vocals and guitar, Spiteful also includes Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols on bass, Rat Scabies of The Damned on drums, and Steve Mackaye of the Stooges on sax. It’s not surprising that Vincent chose these guys as his dream team. But, what is surprising is how well these musicians work together. Spite is undeniably a supergroup, but like the best supergroups, they don’t feel like a supergroup… they just feel like a group. Vincent’s bluesy guitar congeals instantly with Matlock’s rumbling bass. This is punk music, but it’s also in the vein of Electric Mud. Scabies drums as hard and as powerfully as he ever has, striking with force, but keeping a sort of swing in the music. Meanwhile, nobody sounds like Mackay. His boozy, blurry swirl is in the background if most songs and adds a late night NY swagger to the tunes. Slyly, “Thief of Words” opens with a classic Mackay cacophonous sax blast, ala side B of Fun House. The foursome really seem to be on the same page here and exhibit why those early punk records are so indelible. At the forefront of these songs is a hard edge. Vincent snaps out hard, catchy riffs while the entire band slams along with energy, but not perfection. It makes the whole release combustible and invigorating. But, in addition to the lithe heaviness of these tunes, these is heart at the back end. On harder tracks like “Dog on the Subway,” Vincent spits out nastiness, but his grainy voice betrays a certain longing. Meanwhile, the band is deftly able to pull off the rare feat of the “punk ballad.” “Beg for love” is a love song about desperation and pride, and suffering because of it. But, while Vincent keeps his heart on his sleeve, he retains his tough-guy-with-feelings persona. It’s a tough thing to pull off and not many people beyond Joey R and Iggy P have been able to do it. Add Vincent to the list. Spiteful is Vincent, Matlock, Scabies, and Mackay, exhibiting their core strengths. Because the members are all from the same lineage (a few further up in the line than others), it’s expected that they would release an album that salutes classic punk and Detroit rock like this. What’s not expected is how natural and powerful this album is. If only every supergroup could live up to its potential like this one." - Punknews.org

LP - Tsunamis - Tsunamis   $14.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "At the beginning of the 2000s the boiling Santiago underground rock scene was emerging with bands such as The Ganjas, Yajaira and Guiso for naming a few, after a long time of grunge, pop and hip-hip ruling the streets, with the world saying goodbye to the brit-pop period and saluting the widely popular DJ’ing era. By that time the interest in the dark psychedelia and rock and roll remained intact in a group of people that knew what to do and what-not-to-do, and grew up with the power of a bad seed and with the energy of ravers and punks out in the streets. This echoed with othermade an echo on other rock retro acts of the 2000’s but never with the howling rage and he anxiety that was guiding the sons of the silent during the Chilean dictatorship. Tsunamis was formed in Santiago after the breaking up of the chilean shoegazers Solar and leaded by the charismatic “Goli” on the vocals, reminding us of Iggy Pop and Bobby Hecksher from The Warlocks. In some points the music burst from a clearly garage and punk influence, showing a powerful construction under mid-tones and piercing guitars, but the album also has psych rock ballads, as well as some nihilistic and blistering songs." - Bym

7in - Acid Call - Clap Ya Feet b/w Puerta   $5.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN CHILEAN PSYCH ALERT!!!! Our buds at BYM Records have unleashed another set of jammers from a couple of early purveyors of the Chilean psychedelic underground scene that we're always blathering on and on about here and we are freaking stoked to crank these up fer sure!  Get the background directly from the BYM folks: "In the early days of the Chilean psych underground, two art students join forces to create a new musical project called ACID CALL. The band was formed in early 2007 by IGNACIO GATICA (aka BLOK) and MARTIN KAULEN (ex-WATCHOUT!) .The Duo combines influences like Silver Apples, Suicide, Young Jazz Rebels, Sun Ra, Add N to (X), Wu-Tang Clan and Santana, creating a hypnotic and repetitive sound using mixers, cheap keyboards and bass. During their brief career, the band did some gigs, generating lots of attention from the small circle of people who used to attend the shows. In this period, the New Chilean Psych Underground was emerging. Acid Call. Cindy Sisters, WatchOut!, La Hell Gang, The Psychedelic Schafferson Jetplane, Holydrug Couple and Follakzoid, were part of a brilliant generation of bands deserving international attention. And finally, international exposure started. Terminal Boredom and WFMU were the first ones who fell in love with Acid Call. Sadly, their members started to be focused in another projects leaving the band in a period of undefined hibernation. Some recordings in digital format circulate just in circles related to the band members, but finally, a posthumous 7” is here. “Clap ya Feet” and “Puerta 7” are real testimonies of the real potential of this duo and also represent a unique moment in the history of the Chilean underground music." - BYM These two tracks from Chile's Acid Call really are such a tease…  Hypnotic hand drums and a pulsing bass groove with inter spliced keyboard passages create a Tropicalia flavored dance-y vibe while the utterly alien infused vocals really spread on the weird here.  A truly magical little dose of psychedelic obscurity awaits all who enter here.  Here's hoping more material from this elusive duo can be sourced in the near future cuz this single is the shit!  Beyond Recommended.

7in - Thigh Master - Age Of Concern - Import   $11.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "Brisbane silly buggers Thigh Master are brimful of energy - probably why they need that Jane Fonda exercise - as they continue to pump out releases and play copious gigs. They have supported the likes of Ty Segall, Ariel Pink and The Clean in recent months (and in the case of the latter two - yesterday), a tour of Japan, gigs with Real Estate and The Coathangers and a slot on our Sonic Masala Festival imminent, and on top of their great Head of the Witch 7", they are ramping up to release newie Songs To Wipe Your Mouth To. The title track is somewhat glossed up for these slackers, yet otherwise it's business as usual, creating a singalong chorus amidst the whirring, whining cacophony. And yes it is out on head honcho Matt Ford's Tenth Court label, which is showing no signs of slowing down either." - sonicmasala.blogspot.com" - Tenth Court

USED PICKS OF THE WEEK

LP - Pharoah Sanders - Deaf Dumb Blind (Summun Bukmun Umyun) Dave - Permanent Records Chicago   $39.99 → Email If Interested LISTEN "After Karma was issued and Sanders had established himself -- to himself -- as a musician who had something valuable and of use to say, he was on what this critic considers to be a divinely inspired tear. Deaf Dumb Blind is an example of that inspiration. Beginning with the title cut, a suite of over 21 minutes, Sanders brings in the whole of his obsession with rhythm and R&B. Using African percussion, bylophones, shakers, cowbells, and all manner of percussion, as well as drummer Clifford Jarvis, Sanders brought in Cecil McBee to hold down the bass chair and Lonnie Liston Smith back in on piano, and added a three-piece horn section that included Gary Bartz on alto and Woody Shaw on trumpet in addition to himself. Whew! Here the Latin and African polyrhythms collide and place the horns, as large and varied as they are, in almost a supplementary role. The horns check counterpoint in striated harmony, calling and responding over the wash of bass and drums and drums and drums! It evolves into a percussion orgy before the scary otherworldly multiphonic solos begin. And Shaw and Bartz are worthy foils for Sanders. And no matter how out it gets, those rhythms keep it rooted in the soul. "Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord" is almost 18 minutes in length. It has a long soprano intro, covered in shimmering bells and shakers with a glorious piano fill by Smith, who becomes more prominent, along with some excellent arco work by McBee, until the piece becomes a meditation on lyricism and silence about halfway through. The entire band eventually rejoins for a group ostinato with very little variation, except in timbre and subtle accented color work by Sanders and McBee. It is a stunningly beautiful and contemplative work that showcases how intrinsic melodic phrasing and drones were to Sanders at the time -- and still are today. This piece, and this album, is a joyful noise made in the direction of the divine, and we can feel it through the speakers, down in the place that scares us." - Allmusic.com

LP - Kraftwerk - Radio-Activity Jamie - Permanent Records Chicago   $19.99 → Email If Interested LISTEN "A concept album exploring themes of broadcast communications, Radio-Activity marked Kraftwerk's return to more obtuse territory, extensively utilizing static, oscillators, and even Cage-like moments of silence to approximate the sense of radio transmission; a pivotal record in the group's continuing development, the title track -- the first they ever recorded in English -- is their most fully realized electro-pop effort to date, while "The Voice of Energy" precipitates the robot voice so crucial to their subsequent work." - Allmusic.com

Pussy Galore - Groovy Hate Fuck - 2013 RSD Reissue Jon - Permanent Records Chicago   $9.99 → Email If Interested LISTEN "It may seem hard to believe, but the intentionally crude, gleefully offensive Groovy Hate Fuck represented something of an improvement over Pussy Galore's inconsistent debut, Feel Good About Your Body. First off, these cats (and kittens) were really just provocateurs -- or "poseurs" as the less charitable would have it -- not punks. They meant to make people mad, and they did, but there really wasn't anything particularly dangerous about their music. It was more like a conceptual art piece about teen angst. The song titles give the game away: "Teen Pussy Power," "Just Wanna Die," "Pretty Fuck Look," and more. Despite the off-putting title, "Cunt Tease" is actually the best of the bunch; Jon Spencer spews a misogynistic tirade over a lo-fi Cramps stomp while Julia Cafritz rebuffs each outburst with a simple, "F*ck You!" Both genders get to have their say. "You Look Like a Jew," meanwhile, seems designed solely to prove that there were no depths to which they wouldn't sink in order to provoke a reaction -- or it was possibly just an attempt to trump the Sex Pistols' "Belsen Was a Gas" in the tastelessness department? Then there's "Constant Pain," in which Spencer and Cafritz shout the title over and over again as Bob Bert rattles the pots and pans with abandon." - Allmusic.com

LP - Gary Numan/Tubeway Army - Replicas - w/ Promo tracklist sticker on cover Robert - Permanent Records Chicago   $19.99 → Email If Interested LISTEN "By the release of their second album, Replicas, Gary Numan was the undisputed focal point and leader of icy electro-punkers Tubeway Army. And the move proved to be massively successful back home in the U.K., where both the album and the single "Are 'Friends' Electric?" topped the charts. The band had made a conscious effort to streamline the sound heard on its 1978 self-titled debut -- the distorted guitar riffs were played on Moog synthesizers instead, and Numan had perfected his faux-space-age persona. And the paranoia that is very evident in the lyrics and vocals on Numan's next release, The Pleasure Principle, can be detected on Replicas. Another near-perfect album by the band, highlights are many -- "Me! I Disconnect from You," "The Machman," "You Are in My Vision," and one of the most underrated new wave/synth-driven compositions of the whole era, the chilling ballad "Down in the Park."" - Allmusic.com

THIS WEEK'S FEATURED ITEMS

LP - Wand - Golem   $15.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "Following up their debut full-length on Ty Segall’s God? label, Wand presents their second album, Golem, on In The Red. Recording with Chris Woodhouse at his Hanger studio in Sacramento, Wand summons the dark and heavy power of the riff. Back in September 2013, Wand was quietly dismembered and ritually eaten in the hills near Dodger Stadium. Wand was reborn as “Wand”—an obese organ falsely organized as four overjoyous nerds. Four flesh balloons betting on a few aging amplifiers. Rumor has it they listen to Here Come the Warm Jets on loop all day and plot mail fraud. What’s more, they allegedely stole Dale Crover’s car and sacrificed it to the weather near the Los Angeles County Line. A few things, at least, are certain: Wand hears ghosts. Wand prefers serpents. The Sun is the mother of every fiction. All phenomena will be consumed in alphabetical order, but desire will recirculate ad infinitum. If all else fails, Wand will just devour more hands. Wand is coming your way soon." - In The Red

LP - Various Artists - Michigan Meltdown Vol 2: Twelve More Non-Hits From Pleasant Peninsula Preternaturals And Water Wonderland Weirdos   $16.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN FOR FANS OF: BONEHEAD CRUNCHERS AND GETTING' LOOSE!!! YES. The killer sequel to the best out-of-nowhere compilations of recent years - Michigan Meltdown - has arrived and we couldn't be more stoked! Vol. 2 kicks even more ass, so have a listen to what the wise sages over at Coney Dog Records have to say for themselves while we wipe these crumbs out of our beards... "While volume one of this series was highly acclaimed by tastemakers the likes of Julian Cope and the audio aesthetes at WFMU, volume two manages to ratchet up the intensity. More weirdos. More outcasts. More dudes who did not smell good. Meltdown chronicles the darker side of the post-garage and pre-punk era ('68-'75) in the Great Lakes state. An overabundance of fuzz guitar, primitive riffing and overall outré vibes permeate this collection of nobodies, malcontents and general black sheep of society. No doubt you've NEVER heard any of the groups here, but if songs about space flight, mental health problems, substance abuse or having absolutely no money are your thing, there's plenty to sink your teeth into here. All songs are previously uncompiled and mastered directly from the original 45's (NO MP3's!) coupled with full-color label scans and insightful, hysterical liner notes. Much in the same manner second volumes of compilations from the same family like Michigan Mixture and Michigan Mayhem, this edition of Michigan Meltdown only further cements the solid reputation of this collection. Giddy-up." DUDES. Seriously what the fuck was in the water in Michigan in the late-Sixties/early-Seventies??? This collection is TOTALLY BONKERS from the rooter to the tooter - we're talking serious gonzo, destructo-rock'd proto-punk and post-garage madness! The levels of ineptitude from the performers are about as equally matched to the accidental brilliance of every cut on here, from the Stooges-esque riffage on TNS's "Time's Up" to the hard-rockin', fuzzed-out blitzkrieg of Space Rock's (yeah - the band is called SPACE ROCK, how are you gonna fuck with that?) "Going Down The Road", to the stumbling, barely-in-time neanderthal-stomp of Truth's "Being Bad" - ALL SONIC GOLD... and that's just on SIDE ONE. If you dig this kinda stuff, then this compilation is undoubtedly the Yin to your Bonehead Crunching Yang. WELL DONE, Coney Dog Records.... well done. Unequivocally RECOMMENDED. Get this to your turntable, STAT! We grew a moustache just LISTENING to this one!

LP - Aye Aye - Aye Aye   $17.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "The CV on Aye Aye, the long-rumored self-titled debut by Philadelphia’s premier desert blues marsupials, runs deep through the beer-strewn underbelly of Philly rock. The Gibbons Bros’ unmistakable slow-motion, big-chord fuzz will be familiar to anyone who’s taken a plunge into the Bardo Pond soundpool over the last few decades, though a cultivated ear will note more grits and butts and less pedalboard worship here. Ben Leapheart retains his very official title of greatest drummer in Philadelphia—have you shmoes not heard Purling Hiss or Watery Love?—with his innate understanding that the drums lead, not merely keep time. And then there’s the high lonesome harp of Harmonica Dan Balcer, a record hound of profound depth. He’s been the public face of Boogie Witch, blown his harp on records by Jack Rose and Birds of Maya, blasted noise with the Megajam Booze Band, patiently schooled dingdongs from behind the counter at the Philadelphia Record Exchange, and devoted unhealthy decades to an insatiable thirst for true rock spirit. Yeah, yeah, cool, but what does it sound like? OK bub, how about terrestrial crunching rock drifting over a great expanse? Aye Aye is limited to 300 copies on vinyl and includes a complimentary digital download with purchase." - Richie

LP - Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady - 2015 Reissue   $21.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN  "Bassist / composer Charles Mingus is one of the most radical figures in American music. Throughout the ’50s, he worked as a sideman with legendary players Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and more. In the ’60s, he gained recognition as a bandleader, often followed by controversy for making strong-minded statements in the press about race, politics and stodgy music critics. While Mingus received many honors posthumously as well as during his career, perhaps his greatest achievement was transcending the restrictive label of jazz. The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady is without question Mingus’ magnum opus. Originally released on Impulse! in 1963, the album broke new ground in both genre-defying composition and innovative recording techniques. A six-part suite with dramatic shifts in mood and tempo, The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady features the three-way brass dialogue of trumpets, trombone and tuba, swooping reeds and awe-inspiring rhythm section. Balancing delicate Spanish modes and Ellingtonian themes, the ensemble breaks into a divine cacophony of group improvisation on par with free jazz giants like Ornette Coleman or Cecil Taylor. In his best-known essay, “Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung,” Lester Bangs praises, “the experience of the first few listenings to a record so total, so mind-twisting, that you authentically can say you’ll never be quite the same again. Black Saint and The Sinner Lady did that, and a very few others. They’re events you remember all your life, like your first real orgasm.” This long out-of-print vinyl release has been carefully remastered from the original master tapes." - Superior Viaduct

LP - Destruction Unit - Live In San Francisco   $15.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN “I believe Destruction Unit to be one of the most important underground bands in America. The live shows vary from dense chaos to dumbstruck pandemonium. The volume is always colossal. The spectacle, dramatic.  “Putting microphones on these Arizona weirdos is similar to trying to get a decent recording of a soccer riot—getting Ryan [Rousseau] to sing into our microphone like shooting a hummingbird with a spitball from across a gorge…but we’ve done it. Polished up and pushing the red, we present this deathless comet captured to tape. Headphones on, lowlights flickering, spliff in hand—you are a warrior on the dawn of a new perilous passage…until you have to flip the LP. Enjoy.” —John Dwyer" - Castle Face

LP - Inventions - Maze Of Woods   $14.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN CD - Inventions - Maze Of Woods   $9.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "Inventions are the collaborative sum of longtime friends Matthew Cooper of Eluvium, and Mark T. Smith of Explosions In The Sky. Their 2014 eponymous debut album introduced an ambition to create music that was both challenging and comforting. Their new album, Maze of Woods, opens with a vocal sample declaring, "I wanted to do something that I don't know how to do." Using this as a mission statement, Inventions have crafted a complex and exuberant album from an array of instruments, samples, found sounds, beats, chants, and raw bursts of noise, with a much greater emphasis on strong vocal accompaniment in every song. Two albums released in the span of 10 months speaks to the drive that these two have felt since they started playing together. Much like on the first record, they again mixed the album in a house on the Oregon coastline, with final mixing and production all done by Smith and Cooper. Inventions have stated that much of the inspiration for Maze of Woods comes from the closing paragraph of Denis Johnson's novella Train Dreams. In that paragraph, Johnson describes the nonverbal howl of a feral wolf boy, a pre-language that is yearning and instinctual; a statement of wordless distress and love. Maze of Woods is the product of two masters of their craft getting lost in the wilderness, "doing something that they don't know how to do," and emerging with something wholly unexpected and beguilingly beautiful." - Temporary Residence

LP - Notations - Still Here - 1967-1973   $14.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "From the dawn of doo-wop to the death of disco, the Notations saw - and sang - it all. Persisting through changing trends and technologies, on major labels and minor ones, produced by both Syl Johnson and Curtis Mayfield, nothing could stop the Notations from representing Chicago's Southside for decades. The first overview of their indie label golden age, Still Here 1967-1973 finds the Notations at a musical crossroads, turning from simmering R&B ballads to socially-conscious soul. Offering up a platter of golden-dipped harmonies, inventive arrangements, and super-powered soul, the Notations survived as unheralded legends in their own time." - Numero

LP - Portion Control - I Staggered Mentally   $17.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "PORTION CONTROL is a British electronic and industrial band from South London. The trio of JOHN WHYBREW, IAN SHARP and DEAN PIAVANI started out experimenting with electronics in 1980. Linking up with In Phaze Records, they released a number of cassettes and records before signing with Illuminated Records in 1983. There followed a series of classic 12" singles: Raise the Pulse, Rough Justice and Go-Talk, which have become underground dancefloor hits. The band classifies their music style as “Hard Rhythmic Electronics” and were a major influence on Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly and Depeche Mode.  Going back a few years, the band released their first official vinyl album I Staggered Mentally on In Phaze Records in 1982. This album laid the template for the harder edged rhythmic industrial sound of the ‘80s and ‘90s. I Staggered Mentally is as raw as electronic music gets. Dean Piavani’s anguished vocals are the lone human element amidst electric drones, metallic beats and alien analog flickers. Lead synths and effects were created with the Roland SH-09 and RS-09. The rhythm section was provided by the Roland TR-606 and then brand new TB-303 Bassline. Pulsing rhythmic tones were generated using the sample and hold feature of the Moog Rogue. This album documents the band's transition from Cabaret Voltaire-inspired experimentalists into proto-EBM and electro-industrial pioneers. It remains a shockingly brutal and viscerally exciting statement.  All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket is an exact replica of the original 1982 edition featuring a pixelated man screaming. Each copy includes a 8 page, stapled pamphlet that contains press releases, concert flyers and photos circa the recording of I Staggered Mentally. The perfect soundtrack for the harsh, even malignant, urban-industrial nightmare." - Dark Entries

LP - Riz Ortolani - Cannibal Holocaust OST   $31.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN " Considered one of the most notorious films ever released and banned in over 50 countries for many years, Ruggero Deodato’s most brutal film (and surely one of the first ‘found footage’ films) still retains the power to shock to this day, it charts a team of documentary filmmakers as they go deep into the jungle to find and film the indigenous tribes of the area. First time on vinyl. 180-gram pressing.   "One thing that always stuck out like a sore thumb when viewing Cannibal Holocaust was Riz Ortolani’s score, which is beautifully composed, and recorded, offering a mix of traditional orchestration and early synth work. As a stand alone piece of music it’s staggering and I honestly think that if Cannibal Holocaust had a more traditional horror score it would be even more uncomfortable to sit through. As it stands, Maestro Ortolani’s score offers some respite from the violence onscreen and the juxtaposition between the sights onscreen and musical soundtrack have in my opinion never been bettered." - Spencer Hickman, Mondo and Death Waltz Recording Company Label Manager." - Mondo

LP - Terminal Fuzz Terror - Vol. 0 - In The Shadow Of The Mountain   $17.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "On their vinyl debut, Vol. 0: In the Shadow of the Mountain, Terminal Fuzz Terror unleashes raw rock ’n’ roll fury sifted through the filters of punk, psychedelia and blues. Pummeling percussion and wailing riffs accompany vocals channeling an obliterated Jim Morrison at the height of religious revelry! The magnanimous, side-long, 17-minute title track closes the album with a long-form, slow-burning mind-melter.  Terminal Fuzz Terror is comprised of D. Rodriguez (guitar, vocals), D. Nelson (guitar, vocals), A. Crawshaw (drums) and J. Kleine (bass). The band recorded at Witch Ape Studio and enlisted Tad Doyle (Tad) to engineer / mix the album. Limited to 300 copies, Vol. 0: In the Shadow of the Mountain is housed in a silk-screened jacket printed at Broken Press in Seattle, WA, and includes a high-quality digital download." - Robotic Empire

LP - Van Kaye + Ignit - A Slight Delay   $22.99 → BUY NOW LISTEN "VAN KAYE + IGNIT is the Dutch duo of ED VAN KASTEREN (Van Kaye) and INATINE BEKKEN (Ignit), who joined forces in the city of Arnhem during early 1980. While at university, Van Kaye was the singer of THE MoNoMeN, a local new wave band. By the end of 1979 he had become more interested in the use of electronics and rhythmic industrial patterns. In April 1980 he released a demo cassette with 30 minutes of his own work titled A Slight Delay. While experimenting with synthesizers and developing extreme sounds, he met Ignit, who had previously worked in the fields of art and performance. Together they recorded their first 4 songs with guest musician WILLIEM WISSELINK (WIZZKOPF) in the summer of 1981, and released the Picassos on the Wall 7“ later that year on their own Ding Dong label. Van Kaye + Ignit then began work on their debut 60 minute cassette album, A Slight Delay. Like the 7”, all songs were recorded and mixed by Van Kaye at his home studio on a TEAC A-3440 four-track recorder. Self-released in 1981, the album pairs conceptual sophistication with disarming naïveté in a way that has been difficult to replicate since the formative years of 'bedroom' electronic music. Both members handle vocals (or non-vocals), and songs feature everything from new wave riffs to slowly shifting oscillator buzzes and eerie electronics over mechanical rhythms.  This reissue includes the entire 11-track original c-60 cassette “A Slight Delay”, as well as all 4 tracks from the "Picassos on the Wall 7” spread across two vinyl discs. For the first time ever, the original 1/4” master tapes have been transferred and remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket is a replica based on the original “A Slight Delay” cassette artwork, which was designed by the Van Kaye, with a hand-colored textured photograph resized and laid out by Eloise Leigh. Each album includes an 8x14 double sided insert with photos, lyrics, liner notes by the band, and a fold-out poster." - Dark Entries

Since then Sonorama has been energizing dance floors and sound waves with a unique blend of vintage Latin sounds via events, podcasts and their blog. Needless to say, Sonorama is a group of insatiable diggers and lovers of music on vinyl.  It is with this in mind that the group is excited to announce the formation and arrival of its own record label, Sonorama Discos. The first release from the label is in collaboration with Dos Santos Anti-Beat Orchestra, a band that has been steadily making the rounds at Chicago’s premiere live music venues and festivals, bringing the sounds of pan-Latin American cumbia to audiences across the city with their gritty, grassroots, danceable approach. The special 7” (45 rpm) release includes two well-known singles from Dos Santos. The first, “Corre Caballo” is a track that quickly kicks into a driving Latin funk groove building up to a hypnotic climax of swirling guitars and funky organ. The flip side is the moody instrumental “Roberto’s Lament” which serves up flavors reminiscent of Chile’s soul psych rockers, Los Angeles Negros. Soaked in layers of reverb guitar and a trippy Hammond organ, it slowly swells leaving you wanting more. Limited to 500 copies, the release is pressed on translucent yellow colored vinyl and packaged in a full color sleeve with enclosed HQ digital download card.
