The Christa Min "The Devil And Tex Watson" 7" rundownsun No. 5
"Lessee...walking down Robson...hot summer day. Never go near that street usually, but woke up in some dude's penthouse near Hooter's. I woke up, grabbed a shirt off the floor and put it on...and some sunglasses...and a leftover Heneiken from the fridge. Tiptoed out, stepping over the sleeping bodies on the floor. Now I'm outside in the part of town that most needs a firebombing....and the sun is so...fucking...bright! Still stoned...no cash in pocket. Had enough money for a dollar store keyring that reads "Take me to Yr Dealer" with a drawing of an Alien smoking a joint. Bought it and immediately afterwards wished I bought a hot dog instead. Hot dogs. Swamps. Tex Watson. To my right there's an Asian businessman eating a hot dog. Drank the Heinenken down in one long drink. My mind's in the everglades. My mind's on Tex and Squeaky and Susan and Krenwinkel and dunebuggies and Ed Sanders and the Fugs...and that fucker Bugliosi...swamps. Swamps can hold you under. Until you can't breathe. Wouldn't want to fall into one...but I did. So hot! The sun is on it's way out, but not soon enough. Gotta shield...myself. "

primitive, minimal, and brutal. 'pine apparition' is what can only be described as an electrified pre-historic soundscape. shimmering crystalline beauty collides head on with thick organic muck. crisp tones, and pristine electric crackle are obliterated by pulsating ooze and monstrous crunchy burl! it's like listening to geological birthing pains. a master at the top of his game. artwork by RJP printed in black on heavy grey paper. hand numbered 2-panel insert. spray painted high-bias cassette. $6.00 +shipping
black jesus and the cosmic prayer "my mind is a fruit farm" cdr rundownsun No. 19
indefinitely shelved cdr version of this obscure, criminally under-distributed, spacey, neu-cosmiche cassette originally released on blakk wainbow records a few years back. the light has come. ultra-minimal electronic waves lap at polished shores of crystalline drone. a curling fog of ritual noise and distant voices smokes your soul out of your skull, set free to cruise the inner-spaceways. cosmic devotional music. possibly one of the most striking and fully realized albums i have had the pleasure of releasing. edition of 50 copies. screen-printed high quality cdr, packaged in a screen-printed, hand-made digipack-style case with paste-on insert. $10usd + shipping.
BT.HN. "black mirrors and dark planet alignment" one sided LP rundownsun No. 20
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.

new material from the legendary richard ramirez. a stripped frame of narrow sounds forced from discrete locales, and oblique devices. organized into sonic terraces; plateaus of hiss and crackle abruptly transition. 2 tracks of dense static and drainpipe howl that exemplify richards meticulous, source-driven investigations of textured sound. edition of 100. offset-printed 2 panel j-card. spray-painted high bias cassette. $6.00usd + shipping
emaciator "habit" c20 rundownsun No. 34
rundownsun is proud to announce yet another master work of jon borges'(pedestrian deposit, black air, knives) minimal and highly finessed noise/power electronics project emaciator. with heavy references to the early '80's european industrial scene, most notably the BROKEN FLAG label, emaciator walks a path quite divergent from borges' previous work. discarding the progressive, heavily edited, harsh-blast approach, in favour of steady throbbing drones, controlled feedback, and sickly vocals. self-described as the antithesis of pedestrian deposit, emaciator's focus is regression, degradation, and waste. human waste... habit, vice. inevitable conclusion. final solution. turn back the hands. silver offset-printing on heavy colour paper. xerox labled, high bias cassette. hand numbered edition of 100. $6.00 +shipping
black leather jesus "wild" c34 rundownsun No. 36
consistently active since 1989 black leather jesus should need no introduction. their debut for rundownsun offers a focused, three-round burst of pure, speaker-shredding distortion. convulsive emissions, and aggressive blasts in an ecstatic/chaotic convergence. explosive. concussive bombast, screeching feedback, and heavy electronics from this truly seminal american noise unit. edition of 100. offset-printed 2 panel j-card. xerox labeled high bias cassette. dipped in rubber with stamped catalog tag. $8.00usd + shipping
eli bornowsky "untitled" c40 rundownsun No. 37
first available recordings of vancouver visual artist eli bornowsky's tape, and electronic compositions. the first time i became aware of eli was when i was participating in The Western Front Gallery's open call for new musical works. i was lucky enough to catch eli in performance with sam mckinlay of THE RITA, and christian nicolay of THE REV. my face was thoroughly melted. i soon after attended a solo performance of eli's at the now defunct Blim gallery in downtown vancouver. i was immediately confronted with something quite different from the collaborative performance. humoristic juxtaposition, kitsch-culture/noise-culture referencing, caustic frequencies, concrete technique, primitive fourtrack manipulations, and effects pedal tweakings all expertly executed in a mesmerizing albeit abrasive 15 minuets. from those experiences and other like them eli was immediately at the top of my list of artists to approach when i started rundownsun. 2 years on and a release has finally materialized. like his visual art eli's sound work "address[es] perception in a formal psychedelia". total rainbow electronics. colour xerox artwork by eli bornowsky. spray-painted high bias cassette. $6.00usd + shipping
