"We are proud and excited to present our second effort as the team What\r\nThe..? Records in finest production and resurrection n of artifacts\r\nfrom some of the favorite artists. This time.... -- a lost long live\r\nset from California sound unit Speculum Fight (to some now known as\r\nDamion Romero), taken place back in a heavy time for sound of such\r\ndensity and heaviness, in one of the heaviest zones on Planet Earth --\r\nTyoko, Japan circa 1995 !!! These sides are cut striaght in vein from\r\nchrome cassette to cutting needle, as if drawing the very energy of\r\nanalog spirit without the interference of digital approximation, and\r\nindeed it is pure anaolog these grooves you hear!!! Romero has stated\r\nthis live set is in direct influenced by such dark-cloud recordings as\r\nMilky Way" (infamous Keiji Haino live set) and perhaps ritualistic\r\ndensity of C.C.C.C., but we know the sound is also instead pure West\r\nCoast motor engine fog monster. Bonus slab of soundcheck included at\r\nthe beginning, to set the stage for what surely will be known as a\r\nprime window into pure eyes-closed eclipsed darkness of highest mental\r\norder. Romero does not su much as "play" as he does just line up of\r\ncosmic and physical psychic energy to birth a creation of situation\r\nfor top-notch psychic physical cosmos. Comes in silkscreened cover\r\nwith heavy-duty resealable polyethylene bag, includes reproduction of\r\noriginal show flyer and numbered photograph from the trip in the eye\r\nof Romero himself. Hold inside cover in front of face while listening\r\nfor best results. Edition of 300." - What The..?
After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.
This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).
Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.
Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.
Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
