"Edition of 200 hand stamped one sided records. "It all started, like most good things, in the late 70s. Peter Z.O. formed the American Industrial outfit Z.O. VOIDER just along the same time Robert Turman was leaving the group he co-founded with Boyd Rice, NON. It wasnt until around 1983 when the two collided, with Turman joining Z.O. Voider. A couple of recordings and a few shows later and the group went on hiatus. Fast forward 30 some odd years. A trip out west for Turman resulted in the first live show Z.O. Voider had done in 25 years. This is the recording of that fateful and historic night. 23 minutes of classic industrial by 2 innovators, masters and founders (in America) of the genre. Atmospheric, noisy, it wouldnt be out of place in the best of Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire but also stands completely on its own. What sounds like a piece the duo rehearsed for years and was just releasing live, is actually an improve jam. Im still trying to wrap my head around that. A timeless recording, and were beyond honored to share it with you now!!" - Mistake By the Lake.
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.
