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!

MARZURAAN - 'Five Years Worth Of Fuck All' CD (At War With False Noise)
Starting off from now and moving backwards through time to the early bedroom demo days, this CD shows Marzuraan's evolution from simplistic droning minimalism of the two bass lineup to the full-on rock beast of today. The album kicks off with a cover of Loop's "Afterglow", putting it through the post-Ginn blender and coming out with something great. The other cover here is a raging, lo-fi recording of Rollins Band's "Turned Inside Out". Bleak minimal droning walls of sound, controlled experiments into feedback and baws-out "post" rock. Presented in a six-panel chipboard sleeve, with stark black letterpress and clear varnish from Thumbprint Press.

UNICORN - 'Playing With Light' Enhanced CD (Housepig)
A field report from an outpost at the border where droning ambience, minimalist melody and pure noise share an uneasy truce. Unicorn (featuring long-time members of Bastard Noise and Sleestak) serves up seven tracks, where melodic lines skate across a surface of disturbing drones and scathing noise. Enhanced content includes three short films by Stephanie Miller, with soundtracks by Unicorn. Presented in a gorgeous letter-pressed sleeve by Thumbprint press.
