"As the cytoplasmic fragments of an emergent teratistic organism caulk under the terraformer’s lens into sly gyrations of an arachnid Funk we can begin to ask the question: > What is “Body Music”?? After the legendary cavortings of cock-a-hoop castratomy that was the 2019 To Live and Shave in LA tour of Europe that featured TLASILA as a trio of Tom, Rat and Lurch X, the sense of a gestating potential for further miscreancy was like the summoning signal of the ant queen to her disciples. In a serendipitous turn from the untimely and sudden dissolution of Tom Smith’s trio Merkwürdig Riechnerv, Tom elected to summon a phoenix from the ashes of his former unit by asking Lurch to join forces with him and long time friend/succubus of psychotic-acoustics Paige Flash, in a new trio named after a spiritual organisation which chose the diabolical route to deliver salvation. Thusly, we began our own unholy mission, with Lurch and Paige as the daughters of Ereshkigal in a shapeshifting oratory and exudation of capricious and empassioned tentaculation - siren wails from abyssic depths and mad vixen lullaby, erotic stranglings of electronic hex devices and souls set in amber, lugubrious thrum of poison talons rattling on caustic coils - and Tom as warfare designer, CPU, David Koresh in a wet lab, architect of the space time laws which govern this frontier apparatus of wanton alien mesmerism. From out of the black box comes assemblages of truncated corporealities, fervent inaugural death marches for a gleaming detritovore Empire, slithering collusions of mechanical and biological rhythm as conduit for the unhinged sweet-nothings exchanged between sleep-deprived seraphim and hallucinated positronic brain noise, utter careening Ghlark and many other indecencies of syncretism yet unarticulated on the physical plane. Come with us, drain your spine, abide the voice of holy Error!" - Maya Smiałowski, Women's Wear Dunkel, No. 58, 2021
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.
