Long before the term Cosmic Americana was of common use there was a band ideally fitting the role. Back in 1976 the long psychedelic wave was rapidly fading away, but the market of private press was still in demand. The self-debut album of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelatively Clean Rivers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e came out the same year on the leader \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhil Pearlman\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's label. Pacific Is released just this sole album and was to a certain extent an original example of do it yourself. The brainchild of Phil Pearlman, the band was rapidly crossing genres focusing on extended long jam verging on Californian psych and proto-ambient country\/folk. The man, a sort of local guru, was previously involved in two other projects: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrange County\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's own \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Beat Of The Earth\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Electronic Hole\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, so to speak different names for the same group of musicians. While those two early efforts were explicitly devoted to a sort of LSD induced trip, the Relatively Clean Rivers stand on their own, merging styles and -- finally -- proposing an accurate songwriting. The first pressing of this sought-after, underground masterpiece has been traded for thousand dollars, now here's your chance to grab this rural manifesto. With much of the music being acoustic, there are elements of morphing electric guitars, smattered with strange, spacey moments creating a certain stoned atmosphere.

Klopfzeichen is the first part. Yet the uncompromising Zwei Osterei surpasses the earlier Klopfzeichen album by some distance in terms of its harsh noisiness and near brutal sonic attacks. Everything that was left of the revolutionary verve of the late 1960s seems to have been distilled into this music with a burning glass: aesthetic destruction to liberate the mind and ears for utopian designs; the definitive coalescence of art and pop into something completely new; unbridled musical freedom, coupled with a love of noise. Zwei Osterei is all of this. How unsettling Klusters music must have been for the professional avant-garde of the period (music journalists, critics etc.). Kluster turned pretty much everything associated with so-called progressive pop music on its head. No song structure, no rhythm, little more than muffled pulsation. No heroic poses, no transfigured gestures on stage. This attitude, or rather anti-attitude is particularly in evidence on track two of Zwei Osterei. Still no electronic instruments, just guitar, drums and non-musical sonic sources as Kluster unleash a sound spectacle which anticipates the industrial artists who emerged some years later. Conny Plank played a pivotal role as sound engineer with the relatively limited studio equipment available to him. His meticulous reading of the bands intentions led to the creation of pure, electroacoustic music -- loud, violent, real-time improvisation. Shrill feedback, tape echo loops and layers of sonic cascades dominate this section of the album. This was no longer psychedelic, nor \"progressive.\" It was more like sonic warfare, waged against all musical categories and conventions. Many a listener posed the rather helpless question \"What is that supposed to be??... art? Music? A happening?\" According to statements made by the band, none of the above. It was simply Kluster. A lofty claim which Zwei Osterei fulfills one hundred percent. Translated, the statement is nothing more nor less than a challenge to ignore the accumulated theory of art and music, with all the risks and side effects this entails. Back in 1970, Kluster could not have known that they were setting in motion a process which would endure until the present day. But they no doubt hoped as much.\" -Bureau B.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"600\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fe3PTLq05qw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bureau B","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":51941042055,"sku":"13038-BUREAU B","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/R-331114-1438200700-4862_jpeg_aa791493-3533-4753-ab06-8f92255c8b1e.jpg?v=1571718042"},{"product_id":"konagaya-jun-travel","title":"KONAGAYA, JUN - Travel","description":"\"Jun Konagaya is best known as GRIM, but in 2012 he published a story and CD called 'Organ' about a young girl called Magnolia and a monster called Gamahead.

Taking its title from Robert Wise's 1959 film noir, Odds Against Tomorrow retrofits familiar folk\/blues forms to the unique sound of Orcutt's guitar and the result crackles with a freshness and authority that nostalgic retreads cannot deliver. Odds Against Tomorrow is more than an expansion of the territory charted by Bill Orcutt, his eponymous 2017 studio electric debut, although it's certainly that. With its nods to existing musics, half-step fluctuations, and near-songwriter-ly manipulations of tension\/release, Odds Against Tomorrow is a rock record -- almost. Clearly and simply recorded through a clattering Fender Twin in Orcutt's living room and lovingly mixed by Bay Area neighbor and pedal-steel savant Chuck Johnson, no one would mistake it for any era's radio fodder, yet the precision of its technique and the swaying Child-ballad logic of its gentler improvisations comfortably seats it between John Mayall and Richard Thompson in your Ikea Kallax. Three songs ('Odds Against Tomorrow,' 'The Writhing Jar,' 'Already Old') are multi-tracked, an innovation that, for guitar buffs familiar with Orcutt's stripped-down vernacular, jumps out of the grooves like a Les Paul sound-on-sound excursion in 1948, or a Jandek blues rave-up in 1987. Specifically evoking John Lee Hooker's double-track experiments on 1952's 'Walking the Boogie,' the steady chord vamps of 'Odds Against Tomorrow' and 'Already Old' form a harmonic turf on which Orcutt solos with lyrical abandon . . . For the more 'contemporary-minded,' 'The Writhing Jar''s crashing overdubs recall the brassy six-string voicings of This Heat or Illitch. With the exception of the unreconstructed Elmore James-isms of 'Stray Dog' and the 'Layla'-finale-like haze of 'All Your Buried Corpses Begin To Speak,' the remaining non-overdubbed tracks dovetail snugly with Orcutt's previous solo output, reeling gently in a Mazzacane-oid mode or vibing up the standards ('Moon River'). On their own, these tracks would still be an important contribution to Orcutt's canon. As part of Odds Against Tomorrow's greater whole, they provide a through line, connecting the idiosyncrasies of Orcutt's past explorations with the scrambled tropes of his present work. Odds Against Tomorrow challenges contemporary solo guitar practice in a way that simultaneously nullifies hazy dreams of folk purity and establishes a new high-water mark for blues-rock reconstruction.\" --Tom Carter\" - Palilalia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palilalia","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":30874533101631,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/PAL056LP_CU_4b96efc3-1fbf-438c-80d3-e0afe9b76ba8.jpg?v=1571718669"},{"product_id":"emerald-web-sound-trek-trading-places-uk-lp","title":"EMERALD WEB - Sound Trek","description":"\"Trading Places present a reissue of Emerald Web's Sound Trek, originally released in 1980.

Under the pseudonym of Marco Rotula, he started to release a series of fanzines in A5 format. The first was The Pleasure Agony, followed by Sick and Murders. The aesthetics of these first fanzines were very sophisticated and the content deals with topics that will follow Marco Corbelli throughout his artistic career: sadism, schizophrenia, insanity, murder, psychosis, necrophilia, diseases, and most importantly death. In 1993, heavily influenced by his obsessions, he began his musical activities creating the Slaughter Productions label and the Atrax Morgue project. Greatly inspired by Italian power electronics act The Sodality, with their 1987 LP Beyond Unknown Pleasures and from projects as Whitehouse and Brighter Death Now, pioneers of a minimal, evil and visceral electronic, Atrax Morgue released his first tape In search of death which will be followed by a series of amazing cassettes in the following years. In 1996, with the only help of his analog synthesizer Sequential Circuits Six-Trak, Marco Corbelli recorded four tracks of pure improvisation for the legendary noise label BloodLust! run by Mark Solotroff. The tracks are released in cassette with the title of Autoerotic Death and limited to 50 copies. The putrescence is palpable, and one could almost smell and taste the miasma of decay that pervades the entire work. The psychopathological sound is white, painful and horrific. Crosses terrifying rooms lit by neon lights, corridors filled with gruesome tools, machines of blood and bits of human tissue floating in jars of formalin.

Andrew Lee and vibraphonist William Winant, Moments − his third album, following Trajectories (Recital, 2017) and The South Shore (XI, 2015) − draws on Western classical music tradition in its most archetypal forms through its use of modal melodies, triadic harmonies and metered rhythms.

Behind his surface attacks Waller finds hazy, edgeless zones that draw us downwards, into introspection – an “inward gaze.” Waller’s music is often compared to that of Erik Satie, and there is certainly something Satie-like in its concision, its subtle asymmetries and its lack of ornament. But where Satie’s Gnossiennes, Nocturnes and Gymnopédies were blank canvases, deliberately signifying nothing, Waller’s pieces are vessels to be filled.

No beginning... never ending reverberation,” Antoine Beuger writes in the accompanying notes to Leo Svirsky’s River Without Banks. Dedicated to his first piano teacher Irena Orlov, River Without Banks is a mesmerizing, emotional collection of pieces that are simultaneously complex and fluid. The title River Without Banks comes from a chapter of musicologist Genrikh “Henry” Orlov’s profound work Tree of Music. In said chapter, Orlov traces the history of sacred music from the Western and Eastern tradition and how the forms (of the chant, raga etc.) sought to eliminate the division between the physical and the spiritual—the bank and the river. Arranged for two pianos with accompaniment from strings, trumpet, and electronics, this is Svirsky’s deepest dive yet into the instability of listening and its transformation of musical semantics and affect. Like Wolfgang Voigt’s Gas project, Svirsky overlays romantic musical gestures to create a lush unfamiliarity. No sooner than each track begins the next moment unfurls beneath it, cascading time and blurring perception of past and present. River Without Banks is less an album of songs than songs of a singular, unlocatable album. Performed by the composer with assistance from Britton Powell, Max Eilbacher, Leila Bordreuil, Tim Byrnes, and recorded by Al Carlson.” - Unseen Worlds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unseen Worlds","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":31882302390335,"sku":"","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/UW025_Hi_Res_720x_8fc653fb-1ff5-4af0-8961-b5877b84af50.jpg?v=1583267817"},{"product_id":"gordon-blue-gene-tyranny-peter-trust-in-rock","title":"GORDON, “BLUE” GENE TYRANNY \u0026 PETER - Trust in Rock","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2147853262\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026lt;a href=\"http:\/\/unseenworlds.bandcamp.com\/album\/trust-in-rock\"\u0026gt;Trust in Rock by \u0026amp;quot;Blue\u0026amp;quot; Gene Tyranny and Peter Gordon\u0026lt;\/a\u0026gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e “Trust in Rock documents the last evening of an epic concert series held at Berkeley’s University Art Museum in November 1976, featuring an all-star ensemble of the Bay Area’s most unclassifiable musicians performing works by “Blue” Gene Tyranny and Peter Gordon.

In the summer of 1978, an ambitious twelve-day experimental jazz project was undertaken at the ancient amphitheater, Tasso della Quercia, on the slopes of Rome's Gianicolo Hill. The idea was to assemble the leading players from Italy's avant-garde jazz scene, revolving around members of Grande Elenco Musicisti (or GEM), such as saxophonists Tommaso Vittorini, Eugenio Colombo, and Maurizio Giammarco, trumpeter Alberto Corvini and trombonist\/composer Danilo Terenzi, together with visiting American players such as saxophonists Steve Lacy, Steve Potts, and Evan Parker, trombonist Roswell Rudd, pianist Frederick Rzewski, and drummer Noel McGhee, among others. Different group configurations were enacted each day and the final gala concert formed the basis of this super rare and highly playful double album, which captures the delightfully messy proceedings. In keeping with the openness of the Roman jazz scene of the day, the project sought to push the boundaries, aiming to break big-band traditions whilst still emphasizing the collective nature of the experience. Enrico Rava's opening \"Tromblues\" emphasizes the disparate approaches of these trans-Atlantic teams and Terenzi's \"Dialogando\" uses dual trombones to heighten musical discord; in mutated big-band mode, Giammarco's thrillingly complex \"Vortex Waltz\", and Vittorini's \"La Legge E Uguale Per Tutti\" both speak to the limitless potential that the project was aiming for.\" - Alternative Fox .","brand":"Alternative Fox","offers":[{"title":"Double LP","offer_id":31882409836607,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/FOX023LP_CU_5343f80b-10a5-4866-9783-ec165807db1a.jpg?v=1583273631"},{"product_id":"gibson-jon-songs-melodies-1973-1977-superior-viaduct","title":"GIBSON, JON - Songs \u0026 Melodies, 1973-1977","description":"\"\"Since the mid-1960s, Jon Gibson has played a key role in the development of American avant-garde music.

The front cover artwork, a hand-drawn diagram by Gibson, originally appeared in the program for a March 1974 concert at Washington Square Church in Greenwich Village. While this concert was not the first to feature the composer exclusively, it would be a pivotal event in Gibson's early career as a composer.

Working with analogical devices, they produced some of the most compelling electronic music of the period, and they soon became one of the most reputed electronic music centers in Italy, together with the S 2 FM by Pietro Grossi in Florence and the SMET by Enore Zaffiri in Turin. With the departure of Chiggio, the years 1969-1970 transformed it into a female-only collective (Teresa Rampazzi, Serenella Marega and Patrizia Gracis). The two periods were characterized by different instrumentation, and it is surprising how they were able to achieve great results with some simple means -- at least in the beginning. In the first period, they used a couple of two-track tape recorders (Sony 777 and Sony 521), an EICO low-frequency generator, a radio station to produce long wavelength frequencies, a mixer, an oscillator, a Revox, and a self-built loudspeaker. They had to use the stairwell as an echo chamber. In the second one, when the studio was more established, they had six manually-controlled oscillators as well as six modulated ones, a white noise generator, an octave-band filter and a variable one, an amplitude modulator, a noteswitch, a reverb, a 10-channel mixer, a unit for audio signal routing, four tape recorders, a stereo sound system and a frequency meter (during the last years they also bought a 2500 ARP synthesizer). This deluxe edition presents the group's compositions for the first time ever. The CD box comes in a silver-foil design, complete with a 36-page booklet in Italian and English.\" - Die Schachtel .","brand":"Die Schachtel","offers":[{"title":"CD Box Set","offer_id":31882410623039,"sku":"","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/DS023CD_CU_8a420763-5a7f-4a87-8a8b-df046ca43ba6.jpg?v=1583273640"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/collections\/april-7-2020.oembed?page=10","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
