Kraus - ‘Supreme Commander’ C32. $7usd

Unhinged In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and cool  Arecibo message from the Wayward Son of melted arena rock and wipe  out/freak out goo. Fungal guitar moire and triple-tracked martian  riffage time trek into a wriggly medieval manor of fuzz through a  retro-futurism that is like nothing else. Interstellar mineral insert by  Clementine Nixon. Dungeon Taxis 14.

White Saucer/Currer Bells - split C24. $7usd

Pink Air walkers, Stella Corkery and  Alan Holt’s beautifully titled and likewise assumed ternary form of glow  jams cross Stella’s cymbal loiter, shaker susurration, and fanned out  wild flam drags with Alan’s zero zero to total dipper synthesizer  fields. Tim Coster and Angeline Chirnside’s Currer Bells side comes  through a faraway hinkypunk peal, yielding to a warbled zephyr of  healing chime sustain. Recorded in balmy crepuscular rays at Peaking  Lights’ Good Style Shop in Madison in 2010 with distortion pedal,  cassettes, walkmans, Just Chimes, mixers, delays, thumb piano, looper,  Korg DS-10, freeze, harmonicas, guitar, wedding bells, Monotron, phaser.

xNoBBQx - ‘Muryoku Muzenji, Koenji, 2010 / Happy, Wellington, 2009’ C30. $7usd

Flipped reprisal of that 2009 New  Zealand incursion, this live Tokyo/Wellington diptych steps to the mic  in unruly, xenolinguistic fashion, it’s squashy ‘drums’ and ‘guitar’  fission the most munchy and hyperventilated of all Matt Earle and Nick  Dan’s released programmes. Muryoku Muzenji, Koenji, 2010’s counterpoint  creature squall dovetails with rhizomatic kit blare and toothed  glissandi in horn-like confusion. Happy, Wellington, 2009 is such an  unreal Bolero – like crazy tormenting 4/4s, gamelan detunes, and  poltergeist tempo hassle. Dungeon Taxis 16. 

2011-09-23T02:13:00.001-07:00

Witchuals C40. $7usd

Chrome  hymn zone of nonstop doo-wop  detourn by celestial grouches, LA Lakers  and I.R.D. Laryngeal juice,  fake rataplan, and Kyrie gunk in praise of  The Honeycombs, Chordettes  and Sharades. Dungeon Taxis 17. 

2011-09-23T02:05:00.000-07:00

Richard Francis - ‘Acid Songs’ C26. $7usd

RF’s  infra-ordinary sound environment  unfolds as a lysergic fugue before  dissolving under a burny din of  runny hiss, graphed room hum, wibbly  sines and crinkled air. Only just  sticking within the Goldilocks Zone  of its own repurposed crystalline  blankness, and ‘dropping the  pressure’. Live recordings made between  December 2010 – July 2011 in  Auckland using oscillators, sine waves,  spring reverb, eq filters,  delay, noise, microphone, hands, paper, empty  spaces, loop maker,  computer. Mixed July – September 2011. Dungeon  Taxis 18.  

2011-09-23T01:59:00.000-07:00

Chronox - ‘Gwandalan’ C22. $7usd

Lacustrine mood service of tidal  zonation and depth-sounding outlook music, transcribed from devotional  watching sessions at the Coastal Mirage Tabernacle in Lake Macquarie,  NSW. Face A surfaces across a GUI island of synthesizer coruscation and  littoral splash; B returns as a tritone horizon of heavenly warble and  remote Siren exultation. The Melbourne duo had their equipment set up  for days, and would rise from the porch every now and then, change  something, go back to the porch and stare across the water. Dungeon  Taxis 19.

John Pilcher & Martin McKelvey - 'A Bun Dance' CD $15usd

The Eagle Has Strayed in this 48-minute opus of lunar musique concrete right out of the late 60s in Hastings, NZ. These squiggly prescient jams emerge on the very 40th anniversary of Apollo 11's inaugural moonlanding, having originally sampled and plunged that stuttering, televized transmission into another sea of tranquility and magnificent desolation right out here in an even more remote solar system. But that reference ends there. Stellar tapezones joyously light years ahead of time. Mastered by Surface of the Earth's Paul Toohey. Dungeon Taxis 5
