Werewolf Jerusalem/Robert Ridley-Shackleton/She Walks Crooked - April Fools 3-way split CD-R (2014, Hissing Frames)



Werewolf Jerusalem's track is an exercise in HNW restraint and control, if there can be such a thing, whereas Robert Ridley-Shackleton is more untamed and bassy. As for She Walks Crooked's track it's a dense and grey slab of monotonous industrial noise. 2014 cdr on Hissing Frames.

Amanita Vulva ‎– Dwellers Of Klein Eiland tape








 

Simmering psychedelic drone jams by ex-Sylvester Anfang II members Bart DePaepe (Sloow Tapes, etc.) and Ernesto Gonzalez (Bear Bones, Lay Low) and angoulème oridian, Weird Dust and Bonzai Tarzan. Some of it very Amon Duul II-ish (track 6), while other tracks are so good just for crawling on the floor from being wasted or sleepy. 2015 tape on Sloow Tapes, each tape carrying different artwork.

Flautas Del Chiguire ‎– Flautas Del Chiguire tape



Lo-fi psychedelic dictaphone recordings by Ernesto González (formerly of Sylvester Anfang II, now of Bear Bones, Lay Low and Amanita Vulva) ranging from manic pots and pans banging and eastern acoustic jams to spaced-out delay vocals and fuzzy noise. 2007 tape on Funeral Folk.

Dead Body Collection & J.Adolphe ‎– Deep Into The Halls tape



Amazing droning/ambient harsh noise wall with textures, shifts, vocals and the unnerving voices of crows in the beginning by J. Adolphe (boss of Geräuschmanufaktur) and Dr. Alex, HNW master. Definitely one of the richest HNW releases of all time. 2014 tape on the top-notch Geräuschmanufaktur tape label.

Louise Landes Levi - From The Ming Oracle LP



Louise Landes Levi is an American poet and musician who played with the Floating Lotus Magic Opera Company, collaborating there with Angus MacLise, Terry Riley, as well as with LaMonte Young and Marian Zazeela in the Theatre Of Eternal Music. She went on to study Indian raga music with top masters and she plays the sarangi, a bowed harp-like Nepali/Indian instrument. On this lp she is accompanied by Hilary Jeffery, trombone player in the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. This is amazing meditative raga drone that must be heard. 2014 LP on Sloowax (vinyl sublabel of Bart DePaepe's Sloow Tapes).

Skullflower - (almost) complete discography Part 1

So, at the request of a dear commenter, I hereby present the discography of Skullflower. Apologies for the delay in doing so but things have pretty hectic. Due to the lack of time, comments on the albums, as well album covers, will be limited. After all, Skullflower and their importance in the formation of the noise/drone scene by including live traditional rock instruments rather than electronics has been extensively documented in many blogs. If I find the time, I might come back to the post and include covers and whatnot. This first part will cover SF's initial run from the late-80s to 1996. Part 2 will come soon-ish.

1987 - Bull & Gate Oct 7, 1987 download

This is an early SF live recording released in 2012 by Shock and Dirter Promotions, featuring Matthew Bower, Stuart Dennison, Stefan Jaworzyn and Gary Mundy of Ramleh. I had found this on a blog, but unfortunately I can't seem to find the link to lead to that blog, so I have uploaded it. If the original uploader sees this and wants me to link to his post, please send a comment.

1988 - Birthdeath

 

More specifically, I'm including both the original version and the Kino I: Birthdeath reissue. As is shown in Stephen Jaworzyn's liner notes in the reissue, tracks 1 and 2 are from 1987 and unreleased, track 3 is also unreleased and probably their earliest recording (1986), track 4 is from 1988 and probably from the Form Destroyer sessions, track 5 from 1988, tracks 6 and 7 ("Birthdeath" and "Grub Song") are not the versions found on the original lp, but are the remixes from the Ruins LP, tracks 8 and 9 ("Timebomb" and "Blood Harvest") are the original Birthdeath versions and tracks 10 is unreleased. The original was released in 1988 on Broken Flag and the reissue in 2013 on Shock/Dirter Promotions.

Gerry Hemingway - Chamber Works

 

  

Gerry Hemingway is an avant-garde jazz percussionist and composer, who played with Anthony Braxton in the 1980s-90s as well as with  Cecil Tayor and Evan Parker. This cd contains superb chamber music/ modern classical for a string quarter as well as quintet and sextet, without resorting to violent discordance, but including influences from jazz as well. Highly recommended. 1999 cd on Tzadik.
