NAUTICAL ALMANAC / MEERK PUFFY (Veglia Records; Belgium) split CDR $20 Released 2001. Hand-painted cover. [internal code: GH]

NEGATIVLAND Deathsentences of the Polished and Structurally Weak (Seeland) CD + book $20 Negativland makes a full disc of noise drone electroacoustic whatsis--and it sounds real good. They kinda fake you out with a bit of radio talk mixed very low on the first track, but the whole disc shifts waves wiggles in what feels like a huge cavern of nonstop random sounds--not hectic or even irritating (by my standards!) but unending in mutation. The accompanying book ends up being nicely connected to the disc, once you start lookin', with full-color photos of wrecked cars (mostly) and found letters/notes/grocery lists (mostly). Funny, touching, inspired, stupid--what more could you want? I dig. Negativland says: "DEATHSENTENCES OF THE POLISHED AND STRUCTURALLY WEAK is a 6 by 12 inch 64-page full-color book which comes with a 45-minute CD soundtrack. Packaged inside of a large die-cut automotive courtesy envelope, this book is a poignant, voyeuristic, disturbing, and occasionally funny glimpse into lives which may be very different from your own . . . or eerily similar. The CD, the first studio full-length by Negativland since 1997, is a meticulously layered, ever-shifting electro-acoustic soundscape created to accompany the book. No bass lines, no melody, no dialogue, no singing, no beat--the sound of Negativland's recording studio being destroyed in a car crash." Released 2002.

NOD Magnetic Anomlay (Smells Like Records) $9 Released 1998.

NO ENERGY (Fencing Flatworm Recordings; England) CDR $15 "An enveloping atmosphere of flickering disquiet" pulled from a vibrating, surging swirl of drones, tones, and shattered sample-jazz. Soundtrack music for beautiful breakdowns. Guh. Fencing Flatworm has sadly folded, so get these while you can! NEW, UNPLAYED COPY

THE NORDIC MIRACLE  We Shall Provide (Humbug; Norway) $9 Bio: "Verging on the edge of pain there is always pleasure. After years of wild live and studio assaults from the 'Trondheim Scene', the crooner noise duo TNM rise like a phoenix from the ruins of dead noise projects like Origami Replika, Sultans Of Swing, Lasse Marhaug Band, Climax Of Copenhagen and Herb Mullin. Pulling out every trick from the golden book of extreme sound performance, TNM offer you the ultimate listening experience. Sexy cascades of well-directed energy will grab you and make you shiver. The music of TNM is based on unique themes for every performance, stretching from J. S. Bach to George Harrison." Released 2003. [internal code = GH / EF]

PHIL OCHS The War Is Over: The Best of Phil Ochs (A&M Records) $9 1988 comp. BMG Record Club edition--complete, unabridged CD and package--the only difference is a BMG manufacturing notice in place of bar code on the tray card, BMG catalog number added to back cover of booklet, and BMG manufacturing notice on the CD label.

ONQ/THE COLOURS SEEN FROM BEHIND Onq Plays the Colours Seen from Behind Play Onq (Ouzel Records; Italy) CDR EP $9 Two cuts by each artist; sixteen minutes total. Downer-folk-pop singer Onq's "Light Sleep" is a droney folk-strum tune; the Colours Seen from Behind cover it as a burblin' beatboxin' psych-pop-breakdown. Then the Colours Seen from Behind contribute their own original, "The Dreamer," a dark-humored piece, blowtorched in a post-Residents/industrial manner. Onq, in turn, does the same song in his very down style, with whispered vocals, austere piano, and tinny electric guitar.
