"Following his (sporadically ongoing) work with Sunburned Hand Of The Man, the incredible soul-whisper of the Trees, Chants And Hollers LP he cut for Eclipse, and the equally-tit-like Astral Blessings LP on Mad Monk, Paul Labrecque (of Belgium) dispensed this solo LP. Recorded in June 2007, it layers banjos, guitars, vocals and smoke as though they were shimmering veins of black pearls, pulsing against the scarlet dawn. Labrecque manages to take a conceptual precept as dark as life itself, and invest it with an inner glow that churns our own black hearts like butter. An amazing slab of massive, subtly-wrought psychedelia played in the highest key imaginable. Long thought out-of-print, this lone box was recently discovered in the shadows. Move over George Stavis, and tell Billy Faier the news. Edition of 500 with silkscreened cover and insert." - Ecstatic Yod.
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.
