U CAN UNLEARN GUITAR No Strings (Yelpco/Sunship Records/Little Mafia Records/Breathmint) $8 "Best of" CD by U Can Unlearn Guitar a.k.a. Andrew Marshall Alper. Acoustic (mostly) "folk" songs of absurdist views and wiseguy humor mixed with tracks of noise, loops, etc. You get 21 cuts from nine albums released since '96.

THE UNKNOWN CASES & PHEW (Funfundvierzig; Germany) CD EP $6 Japanese singer Phew did a kinda classic self-titled album in 1981 with Hoger Czukay, Jaki Liebezeit, and Conny Plank. Twenty years later, this short disc (17:19) finds her working with a current German "club" band called the Unknown Cases. The music is dreamy post-Krautrock techno/trance, with Phew's vocal interjections and statements weaving in and out. The first mix of "Mishiho" has a nice Yoko-dub-techno thang goin' on.

VARIOUS ARTISTS Psychosis from the Thirteenth Dimension: Sixteen Eccentric Heavy Psych Songs from 1967-1973 (Sound Stories) $12 The title kinda says it all, huh?
