DRAZEK FUSCALDO/THYMME JONES - Wings Dipped in Fire
"Domestic issue of a Polish LP released in 2022 by Przymyslaw Drazek, Brent Fuscaldo, and Thymme Jones. In Poland the record was credited to Mako Sica and Thymme Jones, but that Chicago unit has now decided to work under the Drazek Fuscaldo banner. And that is that. Recorded at Electrical Audio in the Windy City, with Corey Bengston playing keyboards on the first side, this is music with all the dreamy jazzoid mystery you expect from Drazek Fuscaldo. I have always felt these guys operate in the same post-punk universe as the Sun City Girls, blending free psych, free jazz, free world, and avant-garde impulses into something that probably could have existed in a pre-Sun City universe. But where SCG were constant maximalists, DF accept the minimal as an equally power compositional gambit. The music on Wings Dipped in Fire sometimes offers as much open space and breathing room as Pauline Oliveros while maintaining a connection to impulses rooted in wildest expanses of free rock improvisation. As DF's recent work with Hamid Drake (and others) has shown, they have the ability to function at high levels of the post-form jazz idiom, in manner different yet parallel to folks like Natural Information Society. That potential is abundantly evident here, but there is also a very ethereal kind of prog blended into the mix, and lots of other beautiful touches that strike me as unique in the way they're combined and presented. Any way you slice it, Wings is another brilliant recording by this group. And a great place to start listening to them if they have thus far avoided your attention. We at Feeding Tube couldn't bear to let this album languish as an impossible-to-find import. Hope you have the time to dig into Wings Dipped in Fire. Its rewards are boundless. I shit you not." --Byron Coley, 2023" - Feeding Tube Records.
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.
