* Atari Teenage Riot: Too Dead for Me 12
The second track to be taken from 60 Second Wipeout. Also featured exclusively on this EP is a remix of 'Anarchy 999', live versions of 'Revolution Action' and 'No Remorse', and on CD only, the MTV banned video for 'Revolution Action'. Atari Teenage Riot are now being recognized in the UK as a crucial force in music, smashing sonic barriers, changing attitudes, and rendering everything else boring and dull. At last, the return of some music your parents can hate and an invigorating noise sounding the belated death knell for Brit pop."
* 13th Floor Elevators: Live LP
Originally released in 1968 on the International Artists label. This is their 3rd album which is not a live album at all. The tracks were studio outtakes with fake applause added. Along with versions of the band's classics 'You're Gonna Miss Me' and 'Roller Coaster' this album contains 5 songs not included on their previous two studio albums: Bo Diddley's 'Before You Accuse Me', Buddy Holly's 'I'm Gonna Love You Too', Solomon Burke's classic 'Everybody Needs Somebody To Love' and two original compositions ('You Gotta Take That Girl' and 'You Can't Hurt Me Anymore'). 10 tracks.
* 13th Floor Elevators: Bull of the Woods LP
Originally released in 1968 by the International Artists label. An incomplete album tentatively titled The Beauty And The Beast that was released with a changed title after the band's demise. Its finest moments are 'Never Another' (one of the best and most demented tracks ever recorded and the only one on the album written by the usual songwriting duo of Roky Erickson and Tommy Hall) and 'May The Circle Remain Unbroken' (a haunting Roky's composition that may be the strangest thing this great band ever cut).
* Japanther: Yer Living CD
Japanther have now officially been tearing it up since 2002, since then they've played over 800 shows, toured the country 19 or who knows how many times, and have created a ravenous following. They still live in NYC, but you'd never know, as they're never here. On their new 8 song EP Yer Living Grave, Japanther come to the party with a sound more faithful to their live show than we've heard on previous recordings....this is an instant classic. Japanther are simply 2 people, Ian Vanek and Matt Reilly, but it's amazing what a solid wall these 2 create, and what an incredible live experience they are to behold.
* VA: Love, Peace African Psychedelic Music LP
* VA: Love, Peace African Psychedelic Music CD
This is volume eight of the Love, Peace & Poetry series. Weve been carrying them all and they go super fast! Many records on this compilation are from South Africa, but it also covers countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Zambia. As in the other six volumes of this series the tracks are only taken from rare LP's and some fetches prices over $1500 for an original. The biggest problem with original records from African countries are finding them in good condition. The turntables where very very poor and the hot and humid climate does not preserve records very good. Sometimes termites eaten away complete record covers. In addition earthquakes, sandstorms, floods, wars, revolutions and other heavy influences made it hard to release albums and keep them in good shape since the late 60's. All this makes this compilation very special beside the amazing good music. The Bands: Abstract Truth / A-Cads / Flames / Freedoms Children / McCully Workshop / Third Eye / Those Five / Suck / Otis Waygood Ten Light Claps / Wildebeest / Mack Sigis Porter / Blo / Ofege / Quentin E Klopjaeger / Rikki Ililonga / Chrissy Zebby Tembo & Ngozi Family.
* Aphex Twin: I Care Because 2LP
Double vinyl version on Warp. 2nd Aphex full length for Warp, from 1995 (compiling tracks recorded from '90 to 94). A harsher and stunning follow up to Selected Ambient Works Vol. II
* Boards of Canada: Campfire 2LP
The album is very much classic Boards, building on themes and sounds that can be heard in their intervening remix work for Beck, cLOUDDEAD and Boom Bip.
* AFX: Chosen Lords CD
Throughout 2005, and with little fanfare, Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) released the Analord series of 12"s under the AFX moniker on his label Rephlex. In total, 41 tracks were released over a series of singles -- Analord Volumes 1-11. Each record went on to sell into five-figure quantities -- on vinyl format ONLY! The tracks were not available for download or on CD, making this a considerable sales achievement. For fans of Aphex Twin, it was an almost unprecedented bounty of new material in the gap since the 2001 double album, Drukqs, but many people who have abandoned their turntables will have remained unaware of this hive of activity. Now, Rephlex releases Chosen Lords: rather than release a triple CD featuring all 41 tracks, AFX himself has distilled the tunes into a cohesive album, as it was intended to be heard. Chosen Lords is, in fact, the first full album of new material from Richard D. James since Drukqs, and the word of mouth is that the tracks are among his very best classics. The style? As with most Richard D. James releases, it's hard to pin it down to any one genre. Largely recorded on Richard's private collection of analog synthesizers -- vintage, modern and home-made, the rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and even some subliminal lyrics have all evolved directly from the machines. One could say Chosen Lords is partly-inspired by NY electro, Chicago house and Detroit techno classics, but the album also stimulates the kind of "lucid dreaming" atmospherics found on Selected Ambient Works 85-92. Many people try to imitate Richard's sound, but he remains an unrivaled innovator when it comes to the emotional and musical depth and complexity of his tracks. Chosen Lords is Richard D. James at the peak of his powers, in the prime of life. Unmissable.
* Manson, Charles: Sings CD
Charles Manson visited New York City in the early '60s with his guitar, his songs and a vain longing for recognition; he then returned to Beverly Hills to record in 1967. While Manson was being tried and convicted for participation in the Tate-Labianca Murders, the government attempted to discredit the hippie movement by citing him as an example, hoping to defuse the rising tide of anger among the population over the war in Vietnam. But his songs, while controversial, are still considered musically and historically significant. This record was released briefly by ESP in 1974, and is now being reissued in extended format. With new and insightful liner notes by Manson acquaintance, Lie producer, and veteran rock road manager Phil Kauffman, this digitally remastered LP contains the most comprehensive collection of recordings that Charles Manson cut prior to the Tate-Labianca Murders and includes 12 bonus tracks that were not on the original 1974 ESP release. This is the first authorized version of this album. All royalties from sales of this album go to the estate of one of Manson's victims.
* Weinberg Method Of Non LP
* Weinberg Method Of Non CD
Reissue of an obscure electronic music album, originally released in 1968, with bonus tracks. Another historic event for fans of experimental exotica: Martin Denny, Bruce Haack, Pierre Henry, Dick Hyman, Perrey & Kingsley, etc., described as "a synthetic sound revolution with great songs, like Bruce Haack with a Psychedelic touch." From the LP's original liner notes: "The Weinberg Method of Non-Synthetic Electronic Rock (or the Electronic Rock Method of Non-Synthetic Weinberg) is a revolution in sound (or sound in revolution). To be more precise, the W.M.N.S.E.R., as it is affectionately known, is a way of taking the sounds of common musical instruments (twang), sounds of every day life (beep-beep), sounds of the human body (hic-cup) and altering them electronically to create a totally new concept of recording. In the hands of Mr. Weinberg, the human heart-beat becomes a bass drum, an ambulance siren becomes a slide trombone and the sound of a secretary filing her nails becomes a 24 piece string section. Undoubtedly, Fred Weinberg is the first man in history to orchestrate an alka-seltzer fizzing, a computer-card computing and a toilet flushing. When Mr. Weinberg leads his orchestra, the whole world is in the pit. One of his earliest experiments in sound was the time he recorded an ant walking on sand. Unfortunately, the experiment was cut-short by a myopic ice-cream vendor. Of course, this is not to say that Fred Weinberg was the first man ever to discover that the sounds of every day life can be more harmonious than the sounds of traditional music. For instance, George Bernhard Shaw once said, 'Nothing soothes me more, after a long and maddening day of pianoforte recitals, than to sit and have my teeth drilled.' (Shaw? Didn't he used to be the lead singer with the Del-Vikings?) To sum up, then, The Electronic Weinberg Rock of Non-Synthetic Method is simply an assortment of natural sounds that are slowed-down, speeded-up, turned upside-down and inside-out. Sound like sound never sounded before.

* VA: Yee-Haw! Other Side Of LP
* VA: Yee-Haw! Other Side Of CD
There is another side of Country. All North American music from the the late '60s & '70's which just don't fit with a normal country & western release. Arlie Neaville sings composition from Jim Cuomo (Spoils of War) just before he became a Christian singer... Porter Wagener sings "The Rubber Room" before he became insane?... Mother Tucker Yellow Duck sing "Kill the Pig" ... before this song was banned and many more obscure and beautiful tracks. Many of these feature the same sense of desolation as beautifully evoked on Skip Spence's Oar, a pure isolated spirit of forgotten Americana. " Artists featured are: Spur (1969), Arlie Neaville (1969), Peter Grudzien (1973), Palmer Rocky (1980), Maitreya Kali (1972), William C. Beeley (1968), Alex Kubelin (1980), The Bluebird (1970), Weird Herald, Fresh Blueberry Pancake (1970), Flying Circus (1970), Mother Tucker's Yellow Duck (1968), The Wilson McKinley, Dennis The Fox (1975), Kevin Vicalvi (1974), Merrell Fankhauser (1968) and Greenwood, Curley & Clyde (1972).
