BH- 16 My Cat Is An Alien / Valerio Cosi "Stories From The Vacuum" split 7" $6.00

A truly ethereal pairing from Italy. While MCIAA has already established a massive offering in all formats, this 7"is Valerio's first vinyl appearance proper. His side is dominated by free jazz sax loops and trance vocals, with moments of twinkling percussion and electronic euphoria. An amalgamation of improv styles pulled off in a way only Valerio can. On the flip is a beautiful example of the lush guitar ambiance, wordless vocals, and alien space toy sound effects that the Opalio brothers are known for. Gold ink offset printing on metallic vellum, clear vinyl with gold ink on white pro-printed labels. Edition of 500.

BH-13 Anakrid / Blue Sabbath Black Cheer collaborative LP $15.00

Pure refined terror with each artist manipulating source from the other. The BSBC does Anakrid side is 2 tracks, the first sounds like having the gates of hell slam shut on your head five hundred times as demons circle about. The second track has a minimal, pretty and clangy loop, over which some of the most inhuman vocals ever heard are placed. The Anakrid does BSBC side is one side-long track, filled with textures provided by BSBC, rhythmic industrial sounds, and has a strong sense of motion. First in the Mutually Assured Destruction series of collaborative LPs. 324 copies on coke bottle clear vinyl, offset vellum sleeve printed in silver and black, with a digital laser printed vellum insert, all housed in a picture disc sleeve. Co-released with Psychform and Stereonucleosis.

BH-09 Mlehst - The Longest Lie 3xC40 $20.00

Now back in full force from an extended hibernation, Mlehst brings you 2 hours of material from prior to said absence. A sort of best of, most tracks previously released, but worked over to varying degrees, as well as some new material. The sounds wander through a desolate and cold world, occupied by snippets of voices and other field recording manipulated via reel to reel tape, sterile sheets of white noise, and silence. Offset printed silver and black on charcoal linen cardstock covers, xeroxed charcoal and black linen cardstock insert, in a black vinyl box. Hi-bias chrome tapes in an edition of 89. Click here to see pictures.

BH-08 Glass Organ - Untitled II C20 $6.00

Now 3 tapes in the duo of Glass Organ continues on from previous efforts creating a sound their own.

BH-07 Medroxy Progesterone Acetate - Supplications C78 $7.00

A reissue of a tape that was initially an edition of only 5 copies. Blending homemade synths, field recordings, and vocals, an epic recording that requires a closer listen.

Color cover on black shimmer cardstock, with an insert containing texts / collage, on silver paper, clear labels. Hi-bias chrome tapes in an edition of 56. Click here to view the insert.

BH-06 - Bodyvehicle - Being Being C40/C25 $12.00

65 minutes spread out over 4 sides. Presented as a retrospective, including some previously released select tracks, and some not heard before.

BH-03 Pulse Emitter - Progression to Desolation LP $13.00

Finally Pulse Emitter gets the treatment he deserves, a full 12" of vinyl to lay down two prog flavoured tracks of synth drone. Created using home-built synth modules, and meticulously contructed into a sci fi storyline, this could be a soundtrack. Suffocating layered heaviness, dry synth hiss, oscillator click terror meets equally with beauty, a quality rare among Pulse Emitter's peers. Each cover and insert is a unique paint marbled design, silkscreened / designed over by Nick of Seizure Palace. Edition of 300 copies on black vinyl. Click here to see pictures.

"Debut 7" from west coast harsh noise/ambient madman Oscillating Innards. Abrasive walls of junk & crunch, tranquil & melodic drone, and obsessive structured compositions recorded in autumn of 2005. Silk-screened covers, edition of 300." Co-release with Iatrogenesis Records and Troniks.

BH-01 - A Sleeping Irony - Your Concrete Eyes 7" $4.00

Three tracks recorded in 2005. 3 color silkscreen covers on grey vinyl in an edition of 500 copies. Here is a review of so you know what it sounds like -

"Here's some screamy modern hardcore of the darkest variety. The A side is "Your Concrete Eyes", a dirgy, heavy sludgepunk blast with nasty ripped-throat shrieks and splattered in waves of feedback delay. Side B opens with "Cancer Is The Cure", an apocalyptic tantrum of blackened metalcore and crushing riffage ending in brutal noise spasm, and closes with the scratchy,crackling loops and awesomely messy grindthrash of "Step Off The Corpse Path", complete with a bass guitar breakdown that made me want to tear the walls down. Definitely one of the best hardcore EP's I've laid my mitts on in 2005, falling somewhere between modern metallic 'core and TRAGEDY/FROM ASHES RISE crust epics but with some vicious noise and feedback abuse added for good measure. Mastered by Jim Plotkin (OLD, KHANATE), and comes housed in a super nice silkscreened sleeve with neat ink interplay/graphics."

Acre "A shield of Air / Born of light 7" (Eolian Records) $7.00

"Taking on the concept of a drone single, Acre is heard here on vinyl for the first time. Though your ears may descieve you, there are no stringed instruments or sythecisers on this recording!

There are only 300 copies, 150 of which will be with Acre on his US tour."

Altar Of Flies "...Hate This City" 7" (Daisy Cutter Records) $9.00

Limited to 100 copies.

From Smooth Assailing Blog;

"there's no playing speed listed for this seven; when in doubt play it fast! this sounds right. it did sound cool at 33 rpm, though. ...hate this city is a pretty fucking sick piece of wax and features really nice cover art by mattias frisk. soundwise, this is experimental noise in a darker, tormented vein. the a-side's title track starts off with terrific bursts of random noise paired with noise emanating from mattias' affected vocals. it will start to settle a bit into squealing electronics and a grinding noise which kicks open the door for a denser layer of distortion. i really love that fucking grinding sound. eventually, the sound will gel even more as it rides atop a great pulsating tone, pervasive electronic buzz and plenty of teetering distortion.

stuck will begin by being calmer than its predecessor, but features good (repetitious) background layers which will initially draw me in. the noise-work starts out by just being a little screechy, but nothing too forceful as the static-filled foundation hushes it just enough. soon, that base will drop off, and we're left with looping zaps and a sputtering background layer, plus a few noisy electronic screams. once more layers fall off, gustafsson will lay into those screams a lot harder, plus add a whole slew of other crackling, whirling and screeching noises to it. then it's over and bad times* were had by all who listened.

*not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good."

Altar of Flies / Sewer Election split LP (Release The Bats) $20.00

Anakrid "Father" LP (Stereonucleosis) 13.00

"Limited to 350 copies. Hand numbered. Never to be repressed.

180 gr vinyl. DMM.

The music on "Father" alternates between amorphous soundscapes and alien percussion with a sidetrip to Meltedmindsylvania in a creaky boat."

Anakrid "Rapture of the Deep" LP (Stereonucleosis) 13.00

"Limited to 350 copies. Hand numbered. Never to be repressed.

180 gr vinyl. DMM.

"Rapture of the Deep" is a more subdued attack. Blissful drowning music."

Anakrid "Pos-Load: Nihilsurrealisme" one-sided 12" (Stereonucleosis) $17.00

"Yet another ridiculously limited release by Anakrid, this one going out to all the bug chasers in the world. Chris Bickel and someone under the name K. E. Revis (hah) apply old-school tape collage, Japanese power electronics worship, and legitimately hard, paranoid "emo violence" to this one, and the result is the most intense Anakrid release to date. If you have been longing for the visceral noise side of Bickel's legendary hardcore act In/Humanity (the "trilogy" from their second album comes to mind), you'll find its spirit here, amid a nearly impenetrable wall of panic. Miles away from the opaque drones of the last few records, this one's a statement of outrage, and I know of more than one sordid little online communities to which you could couple this up with a nauseating read. I won't trouble you with those details, though. Best not to ruin another life. Numbered edition of 100 copies, in the same style of spraypainted, textured sleeve that the last one came in."

At Jennie Richie "Rectums Merging" 1-sided 12" (What We Do Is Secret) $13.00

"This is not a song, rather a portal into another realm. For the most part this realm seems abandoned, but something exists here and what or who it is you may never be able to conceive. At Jennie Richie are a cryptic and mysterious duo, sometimes trio, occassional quartet, based in Ballard, Washington. With nearly 15x cassette releases and countless collaborations with everyone from The Cherry Point, Broken Penis Orchestra, and irr.app.(ext.) to Hive Mind, Herb Diamante, and Hans Grusel and his illustrious Krankenkabinet, AJR are one-fifths DADA, two-thirds surrealism, 7/8's broken plates."

The Broken Penis Orchestra "Testicle Difficulties" LP (Nihilist) $13.00

"Dick Flick conductor in chief, displays a wild and twisted array of sound collages that pull your ears through your brain and back again, (not unlike early Negativland or Nurse With Wound). This is the debut LP for B.P.O. and will be a limited pressing of 300 copies on 152 gram black vinyl."

The Broken Penis Orchestra "Wet Dream" 7" (Daisy Cutter) $9.00

BT.HN. "Black Mirrors and Dark Planet Alignment" one-sided LP (Rundownsun) $14.00

"over a year in the making, and well worth the wait. BT.HN. (LA BETE HUMAINE) brings you to a place where profane ritual meets barbaric violence! domineering waves of crushing bass and crackling electronics bury slithering spoken rites, and crest in thundering commands. a steady, measured rumble peppered with heavily effected vocals breaks into volatile metal abuse. vocals shift from paced incantation to frantic possession! similar to the abrasive works of TAINT, ATRAX MORGUE and IUGULA-THOR, but underpinned by a raw, ritualistic violence.

2-sided black and white offset-printed cover on heavy paper. one-sided 12" 33rpm vinyl record with silk-screened b-side. housed in a crystal-clear, heavy polyvinyl sleeve.featuring art and layout from the artist."

Burmese "Monkeys Tear Man To Shreds... " LP(Enterruption) $16.00

"Completely raw and brutal dual damaged bass and drums attack from the legendary and infamous Burmese. Recorded in 2000 at their rehearsal space in Oakland on 8 track reel-to-reel by yours truly, wm.Rage, a few weeks or month before they recorded their debut CD release for Tumult Records: same material, different recordings. This LP also includes from the same session their BLISTERING cover version of Black Flag's "I've Heard It Before" - previously released on their "Treaties of Greed and Filth" 7". Mastered by Scott Colburn. Edition 500x copies, red vinyl."

Highly recommended, multiple inserts and another beautiful print job from Enterruption.

Cloama "In The State Of Unbelief" 7" (Cipher Productions) $8.00

"The new 7” which finds Cloama at its most vehement, a savage exposition of raw power electronics which has never been quite so overt in Cloama’s sound until this project. Notwithstanding the clear ‘80s PE influences the production and composition are distinct, discreet layers and the usual attention to detail giving this work flair."

Datashock "Rambo Wikinger" C48 (Tipped Bowler) $7.50

This tape is great. Reminds me much of the Double Leopards, but lighter, more lush. Repeated listens are in order.

Dead Raven Choir "My Firstborn Will Surely Be Blind " LP (Aurora Borealis) $20.00

English import, a new LP of meterial from Smolken's mysterious Dead Raven Choir. Blackened folk racket, for forward thinking ears. If anyone else tried it they would sound like a joke, but somehow this guy is convincing.

Death Chants "The Sound of Rain/North Carolina" 7" (Azriel) 6.00

"sweet vinyl debut from the mighty fine death chants, releases on the bands own new label. if you tuned into any of their great self released cassettes, or either of the time-lag cdrs, you pretty much know the deal. in a pretty mellow smoked-out drift mode here, the a side is sunny strummed acoustic guitar mantra with bubbling modular synth bleeps, distant buzzes & drones, occasional noisy bursts and half slurred wordless vocal. the b side is less songy with sweet drifting keys, thick viola drones, ebow guitar hum and an ultra peaceful ambiance very sweet stuff. perfect baked summer evening porch music. heavy moss colored art board covers, with black offset printed art by nemo. limited / numbered edition of only 320 copies."

Hana Kodama
1. A Sunny Garden\

Family Battle Snake "Nymphomania" C15 (5nakefork) $8.00

"bill k is running rampant in the UK and the US. this c15 presents 2 sides of scathing persistence. for those following his work on great labels like jk tapes, turgid animal, arbor, and blackest rainbow "nymphomania"will quench your thirst for new material, and if you haven't you need to. watch for split/collaborative c21 with leavenworth on 5fork soon! 6x5 cardstock covers, art by 5F, locally wound gold foil c15s in sealed poly bags. edition of 47 "

Family Underground "Helium Rug" one-sided LP (DNT Records) $12.00

One immense track from Denmark's best and one of my personal current favorites. Does the usual peak 50 miles up before diving to the bottom of the ocean. Nightmare psychedelia not for the sober among us. Nice silkscreen sleeve and limited to 299 copies so act fast.

Gasp "An Earwig's Guide to Traveling" CD (Avant Garde Farm / Capibara) $10.00

"An Earwig's Guide to Traveling is a new CD collection of previously out-of-print and unreleased material by the Southern California band Gasp (1996-1999). Gasp used elements of grindcore, power violence, psych, ambient noise, tape manipulations and down-tuned sludge to create a sound that will never be duplicated. They released records on some of the most influential punk and hardcore labels of the past decade, including Slap a Ham, Witching Hour, Clean Plate, and Deep Six. Their split records paired them with a diverse set of innovative bands (Volume Eleven, Noothgrush, Deerhoof, & Suffering Luna). Most of this material has been unavailable for years after the vinyl pressings quickly sold out. This CD includes all of the songs from Gasp's split records as well as tracks from compilations and demos - every official release except for the Slap a Ham LP. As a bonus the CD features the first chance to hear the four songs from Gasp's unreleased "Lepidostomatid" EP. "

Glory Fckn Sun Spectra LP (Tipped Bowler) $15.00

Red vinyl in a two color silkscreened chipboard sleeve.

Government Alpha "The Day Of The Light Crimson" C20 (Cipher Productions) $9.00

"20 minutes of brand new ferocity from Yasutoshi Yoshida. ‘The Day Of The Light Crimson’ in part harkens back to Government Alpha’s late 1990s cassette output on Xerxes, its extended opening and closing tracks offering a more primal, wall-ish shove of noise than has been the usual case over the last few years. The middle tracks bend in the alternate direction, each an exaggerated hit of psychedelic electronics screech. It all adds up to another excess of flavoured harshness from one of Japan’s top current noise exponents."

Grasslung / Pelerine "Power Visions" C30 (Phaserprone) $8.00

"Yet, when they entered the corridor, there was only darkness with no hope for light. So we looked one handed with unpleasant concept for an area of permanence. Unpopular schizms supplied a flimsy insulation, and then a spark. The pursuit of construction with a deathly chill in its veins, and all will be destroyed by fire of its own dynamism. Modular constructs of raw synthesis by Jonas Asher and John McCusker

Hand dubbed C-30 with letterpressed wrap-around cover."

Growing "Live" 2xLP (Conspiracy Records) $25.00

Limited live 2xLP, in a nice thick gatefold, imported from Europe. 72 mins. of material, two complete shows. Here is what Aquarius had to say;

“While Growing continually return to that near-ambient tranquility, the record is a series of meandering excursions into MASSIVE slow motion, melted-riff soundscapes, notes and chords unfurl impossibly slowly, as if someone had doubled the gravity and the sound waves were actually visible, drizzling lazily to the floor like molasses or honey, rich golden globs of thick distorted throb. Like Earth and Skullflower meshed into one buzzing blurry soundfield, all muted melody and crunchy riffage, a pulsing swirl of feedback and guitarral grrrr! The sound is basically phenomenal…”

Hair Police / Crystal Fantasy split 10" (Liquid Death / Hello Pussy Records) $13.00

"lexington, kentucky's hair police are one of the most progressive and productive thrashy noise bands out there. if you've experienced them live, then you know that already! with a steady flow of head banging, noise rawkin releases on various labels (gods of tundra, animal disguise, load, freedom from, etc.), hair police have been steadily carving a niche into the noise/experimental music community. being witness to one wild chicago ride, we watched in absolute amusement as hair police took the stage and one by one destroyed everyone in the room (as well as themselves...) being torn limb from limb after walking on the hands of the crowd like clouds and then dropping the doom storm from above. totally out of control, and totally rad! on their side of this split 10" with crystal fantasy, hair police contribute 1 single nasty track entitled "straps and straps". mike connelly had this to say about it: "it's gnarly fucked up. no drums. just a really sick searing drip of the inside of a carcass." we agree! this sick pile will whip and beat your skull upon each repeated listen. do yourself a favor and get abused! let the gnarly times roll...

the members of milwaukee, wi's crystal fantasy are not new players to the game, just a new project with a new name. when asked what kind of description should accompany the news about this split 10", this is what we were told: "crystal fantasy is another glimmering aspect of neon hunk, illuminated by and sparkling under one thousand iridescent stars." oh yes!! take it back to the days when you were just too high to be reached - when the sky was filled with watercolored waves of cloudy blues and the sun shined like a billion crystals reflecting off the shimmering sky... "crystal fantasy are crystal, and they are fantasy." wow - instant cult classic!"

Helm "With Hazel Hollow" C28 (5nakefork) $8.00

"new recordings from the younger half of birds of delay. complete departure from that though, and all other Helm recordings ive heard. absolutely beautiful, memorable drone. very well recorded and very focused effort from UK, absolute pleasure to be a part of this. hand screened covers, hand screened tape labels, folded covers sealed together with white brads, stuffed in 6x6 zip baggies. perhaps the best on 5fork to date, thanks to mrs. 5fork.. c28s hand wound here in town. edition of 75"

Helm "Illuminated Factory" C40 (Peasant Magik) $7.00

Beautiful sounds from Mr. Younger, and art by me!

irr. app. (ext.) "Perekluchenie" LP (Beta-lactam Ring Records) $15.00

"Behind every ambiguously pronounced name lies an ambiguously pronounced sense of purpose. In other words: who can say what is really going on here? Whatever it is, it is delightfully dada. irr. app. (ext.) remain more concrete (i.e. musique) than a rusting parking structure on a windy day. Music does occasionally spill out from the crisp snips and gravel, but it is only as one other element in an overall sound construct. Here, no-music IS the music! Get it? Now go read some John Cage. The simplicity of a burbling stream washes out of a reverberation of flange. Voices are air dropped into the squeaking remnants of things left decaying in the basement. Small noises are looped and heaped upon one another, evoking a temporarily quiet cacophony that is sloooowly faaaaded ooooout in favour of a slooowly faaaaaded iiiin drones vs frogs episode. One thinks lovingly on Hafler Trio, P16.D4, NWW, Chris Watson, etc. Put your Irr. to the App. and get (Ext.)!"

Jazzkamer / Opec split LP (By Reverse Recordings) $20.00

Danish import. Numbered out of 323 copies in silk screened picture disk sleeves from Mr. Charity.

Josh Lay "Flesh Kingdom" C20 (Phage Tapes) $7.50

One of my favorite Lay releases, very evil and trance like.

Lngtché - “Music for an untitled film by T.Zarkkof” CDr (Etude) $10.00

"The first release by composer Lngtché. Titled “Music for an untitled film by T.Zarkkof”, the release is a long 44:22 piece of dark isolation, drones and exploration of the ambient music blending the electronic soundscape with the sound of the raw guitar.Beautiful, haunting and darkly complex work packaged in an exclusive triptic panel with a brilliant artwork by Seldon Hunt."

Medroxy Progesterone Acetate "Something in the Weeds" CDr (self released) $7.50

"New material recorded in the abysmal years of 2006-2007 common era. Guitar and bass attack by C. Gray (ex-Slats). No narration, just fiftyeight minutes of buried voices and tape damage and synth creep and telephone anamolies and biomorphic abstractions and some kind of quiet humming in the walls. Package includes "modular narrative" Ab Ovo, abduction site lensless polaroids and related ephemera."

Comes in it's own bio-hazard bag, LOADED down with inserts, and tied with a ribbon. An excellent release form this often over-looked artist.

Medroxy Progesterone Acetate "Blearyeared" C65 (Tipped Bowler) $7.50

Another mysterious audio document surfaces from this obscure mid-western projects past. A lot of static. Appropriate art.

Mlehst "Notes of Obscure Origin" LP (Nihilist) $20.00

"Nihilist is extremely proud to present "Notes of Obscure Origin" by MLEHST. From a history shrouded in mystery, and a back catalog of recordings treading dark and strange territories, Mlehst delivers their finest work here with "Notes of Obscure Origin". Recorded in 1996, and now 10 years later this ominously eerie album has been unleashed from some dark pit! For those of you unfamiliar with the work of MLEHST, (similiar to early Whitehouse & Nurse With Wound) this is most certainly a definitive example of their greatness. This LP will be a limited edition of 200 copies on 140 gram black vinyl with cover artwork by Andy Ortmann."

Mlehst "I am, I was, I will always be" LP (Belief Recordings) $25.00

"On 'I Am, I Was, I Will Always Be' Mlehst takes things into another direction. The title track is the source of all the music on this album. A layered drone of synthesizer sounds, quite simple. It is the starting point of the ten tracks that follow. Each is treated in a different way. Sometimes working the higher regions and sometimes only the lower regions, which are the first four steps taken on side a. On side B things are expanded. A rhythm occurs, basically a simple loop, or becoming more noise related. Less vibrant than the piece of the split LP, each of these pieces is a monochrome composition in itself. Though not entirely a new idea at work here, Mlehst does a fine job. Certainly the second side has to offer some interesting pieces. Crude, rough but it stays on the more interesting side of noise.
