Universe: S/T Universe: S/T

One of the better random thrift shop finds of the year for me so far, and one of the best and weirdest Christian lp’s I’ve heard probably ever. Genuinely spaced out and proggy in a crude and good way (especially for the late 70’s). Slightly reminiscent of Silver Apples at times, and pretty cosmic all […]

Don Bellezzo -- Concert Hall Univ. of New Mexico 1972 Don Bellezzo — Concert Hall Univ. of New Mexico 1972

So I suppose I purchased this sometime in some place but have no recollection of having done so. I found this in the files last year. Easy to miss as it’s merely a blank sleeve.
This is a quietly strange record that was pressed up after Don Bellezzo’s concert at University of mexico in […]

The James Herndon Singers ~ This Business of Living The James Herndon Singers ~ This Business of Living

I’ve bought tons of gospel records in the past few years, some good and mostly bad (or too choral or lo-fi) But this one is by far my favorite and one I come back to the most often. It just has the pefect mix to me of soulful vocals, sublime backing female vocals, solid drumming […]

Impossible Theater and John Schneider - Social Amnesia Impossible Theater and John Schneider - Social Amnesia

Just over a hour and twenty minutes long, this double lp from 1986 is the soundtrack to the Impossible Theater’s performance of their “live movie” Social Amneisa. The soundtrack is made up of the majority (if not all) of the dialouge from the performance as well as songs written and arranged by the Impossible […]

Zalla (Piero Umiliani) - Paesaggi Zalla (Piero Umiliani) - Paesaggi

Paesaggi in Italian means ‘landscapes’ (I checked on Alta Vista Babel Fish translator). With a dull cover and very non descript name, I’m not sure what I was thinking in shelling out almost $80 for this record on Eb*y. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Seems as if (almost) everything Umiliani touched turned […]

Mill Run Band -- Pilot Meets Stars Mill Run Band — Pilot Meets Stars

This album reminds me of the time in college when the whole crew and I gathered some 40s, some blunts and headed to Lizard’s Rock to watch the meteor shower. I believe a few of us even brought little hand drums. I was a bit too neurotic to not approach this whole […]

GAEA - C'est Magnifique b/w Lunar Transmission GAEA - C’est Magnifique b/w Lunar Transmission

Balls out female synth-punk shredder. Nothing is heald back. Screaming sexy vocals and sexualised lyrics with outer space theatrics all packaged in an overbearing synth dancefloor smasher. GAEA, where are you? Please get in touch with me. Released in 1981 on Lizard Records (private). One of the most interesting records I now own.
