Small update & fixed links
Just posting a little update to say I’ve fixed almost all of the links for everything on the blog. There was some that pointed to a redirect site that’s now dead even though the files were still active. I may get back to posting some day but I used to do most of my uploading with a great college internet connection so it might be a while before I get back to it again.

Equipment: DPA 4061 (Coresound HEB)>R-09HR (24/44.1)
Position: FOB center of main floor, stealth
Mastering: WAV>Audacity (tracking, compression on clapping, downsample to 16bit, amplify each channel, slight EQ)>FLAC (level 8)Portland, OR based Grouper was a relaxing way to start the second day of ATP insanity, as many concertgoers were still shaking off hangovers or reeling from the shock and awe sonic assault of the Jesus Lizard who closed out the previous night. In start contrast, Grouper is a one-woman show using tape loops and other effects (with the loops recorded live to old-school cassette) to create a layered, blissful sound.
Sound again came out beautifully. You will hear some spots at the end of each song where I tried to compress down the crowd clapping. It’s a touch abrupt, which seemed a bit unavoidable as this was the quietest set at ATP. Crowd was very quiet other than d-bag wannabe “photographers” and their digital cameras clicking at some points. Hope you enjoy!

Really, really great Boredoms recording around the time they were moving into their multiple drum set up and a year or so before Seadrum/House of Drum was recorded. This also appeared as a bootleg V∞redoms CDR acording to Discogs but I’m pretty sure this is the original source of that CDr.

Killie – Offering A Sacrifice… (Tape) [SelfReleased, 2008]
I posted the CD version that came in the boxset here as one of the first uploads I ever made to the blog and now I can finally upload the tape that came with it thanks to Yoshi of oTo Records who sent me the actual boxset by surprise. I ordered a Killie tshirt and the entire boxset was sent to me as well as the shirt! The box is still out of print on the site but if you like band please do buy one of their CD’s or a shirt from the band!
Also, my original info was wrong, the tape was not housed in a cement block, just this really nice white card tape box. Oh well.

Another show I taped back in ’07, this one is the full show that Gang Gang Dance performed at the Rosisn Dubh in Galway. This was the first show I taped with a decent set up so I didn’t really know what I was doing with and the first track or two are a bit quiet.

Nate Young/Aaron Dilloway – The Grosvenor, London (7th Apr 2009) [Live FLAC Recording]
Photos by Horsey of Gormenghast on Flickr
This is a pretty amazing double set by Hanson Records owner Aaron Dilloway & AA Records owner Nate Young.. The review of the gig in The Wire (by Nick Richardson) described it as: “Beginning with low-key junkyard atmospherics, wobbly trash percussion and wheedling synth sound, he [Young] launched into a piece of Poe-like spoken word “Someone help me out of the bottomless pit..” [..] Young used mouth sounds, captured via a contact miked harmonica, to probe the emissions of his ancient equipment, meshing flickering electronics, viscous slobbe and feedback – like velociraptors chewing on movie projectors. [..] Meanwhile, sonically, the whorls of formant shifting synth tones Dilloway sent winging around the room, bristling with bright thorns of noise were in a similar ballpark to Haswell & Hecker’s UPIC compositions. But what made his set particularly astonishing was the gap between the sounds Dilloway was producing and what he appeared to be doing on stage. Instead of a guy hunched over a laptop, he was physically engaged with his equipment to an extraordinary degree. He had two mics lodged inside his mouth into which he leered and rasped, rocking about like a lunatic while ripping fistfuls of tape from the machinies in front of him. Awesome to behold.”

Yellow Swans – Harvest Records, Asheville, NC (14th Oct 2007) [Live FLAC Recording]
Only image I can find for this gig is this poster art designed by flickr user roney_is_phony who seems to do a lot of pretty sweet looking art. This recorded was done by the owner of Three Lobed Records who has recently been uploading quite a lot of excellent live recordings to DaD recently, pretty sure I have the Mouthus recording from this show too if anyone wants it at a later date.
As for the show itself it’s a pretty quiet & restrained YS set though it could be that the quiteness is actually due to a low recording level (particulaly obvious near the end of the set) but it’s a good slow burner. Reminds me of their Descension release.

Wolf Eyes – Completely Wrong/Variations On The Bottomless Pit 2xCDR [AA Records, 2009]
Back from the dead, expect this to be the first of a slew of posts!
There’s no image on this one as it was ripped by someone else (big up to Funeralwind on F&A for making this one available) but here’s a review of the set that describes the design as:
Tan 6×6 envelope with titles in corner and an impressionistic drawing by Nate Young that makes me think of a hunter in a second skin of hair and eyes. AA Records handstamped on back and hand numbered (woo hoo got #23). The two discs are in simple black cardstock sleeves with drawings from Nate on one side and simple track information stickers.
The set itself is a really really great double album set that has a full recorded album entitled “Completely Wong” which I assume was either recorded around the same time as the much larger edition album “Always Wrong” or is intended to be a companion piece. The second disc, “Variations On The Bottomless Pit” is a collection of live untitled tracks seemingly recorded either from live gigs or from jam sessions. Overall it’s a pretty great 2xCD set and I would not be surprised if this was picked up by a label for a mass edition at some point.

Expo 70 – Awakening [2009, Sloow Tapes]
I had this tape is stock in the NNM distro and I sold all the copies I had about 2 hrs after posting the distro notice. Insane. The label sold out of it a few dasy after that as Aquarius bought up half of the entire release total (a mere 70 copies) where I think it’s sold out there too. Criminally low release total is you ask me as it’s probably one of Expo 70′s best releases. The A side is by far the better side with it’s pulsating drum machine riff that will stick with you until you die.

My Cat Is An Alien – The Cosmological Eye Trilogy 3xCD [2005, Last Visible Dog]
Anyway, this is the first of a few multi CD boxsets I’ll be posting here over the next day or two. This 3CD set collects the Cosmological Eye series of discs that My Cat Is An Alien released over the period of 2004/05. MCIAA are the Italian Opalio brothers who create epic minimal drone music that sounds like it’s being fed to NASA from aliens trying to communicate with Earth. Their list of instruments in this set is listed as being: “electric alien guitar, astral alien guitar, electric nebulae guitar drone, as well as mini-xylophone, space toys, whirlpool, toy mic, percussion, metal sticks, cosmic cymbals, helix cymbals, Plutonian percussions and of course astral percussions” which gives you a pretty good idea where they’re coming from.
This is an epic introduction to MCIAA and may even be the only album of theirs you need to know what they’re about. The length of the set may be a bit much for some people but if your into their whole space drone thing this is great.
Three discs, each nearly 70 minutes long.
Disc 1: The Cosmological Eye Introduction (14.01), Into the Sleeping Beauty galaxy (55.19)
Disc 2: The Helix Nebula (7.59), Into the Sombrero galaxy (40.03), The Trifid Nebula (21.33)
Disc 3: Into the Whirlpool galaxy (33.03), The Orion nebula (34.52)

James Ferraro – Jarvid 9 (6xCDr) [New Age Tapes, 2009]
Yes, yet another bumper James Ferraro batch for you all. The titles are getting wierder and the music is getting longer and longer. As usual these were/are only available from Volcanic Tongue in the UK and I’ve included their descriptions of the releases..
Edit: As this link is still the most viewed on the site, there are NO downloads to be found of these CDr’s anymore. Go buy them off Volcanic TOngue if you want them or check out the past CDr’s of Ferraros solo work or as part of The Skaters.
