BASTARD NOISE & GOVERMENT ALPHA - 'Resurrection' CD (Thumbprint Press)
(2006) "These sounds are a small tribute to the memory of Koji Tano" (MSBR). Bastard Noise (Nelson & Wood) celebrate forms of partial and total rebirth of body and spirit. They "resurrected" past foundational ideas of flesh, bone, metal, electronics and workshops with cuts composed in Tokyo and San Pedro. G.A. attacks relentlessly with true precision and purpose while B.N. loom slow and ominous as purple-black storm clouds and distant thunder on a darkening horizon. Presented in beautifully printed, transparent artwork with a sticker, housed in a heavy vinyl sleeve. Limited copies in stock!

BEEQUEEN - 'Gund' CD (Plinkity Plonk / Korm Plastics)
(2003) Two recordings from two vinyl projects. The first four pieces on the CD were recorded early 1998 for a 12" vinyl single on which these tracks were supposed to be cut at different speeds (16, 33, 45 and 78 RPM). Due to its complexity of pressing this record was never realised. The fifth and sixth track were originally intended to form a 10" album of a most unlikely meeting by Beequeen and MSBR. Based upon a mutual sound exchange, both Beequeen and MSBR worked independently on their pieces. The label that intended to release this, stopped while both bands were still recording. Beequeen finished their piece in 1998 and MSBR decided to do a new piece in 2001. Ltd x 500 copies in a gatefold sleeve.
