ch-214, 96 copies - low-hitting project of stoney tusco and emeralds john (aka medium john). waste and feedback being thrown around behind a dusty church organ makes for a surreal and unexpected pairing of style and sound. gray ink on silver paper.

ch-215, 100 copies - i like to think of this as being subtitled "dissentions for electric guitar" - stunning, shimmering and morphing guitar work from emeralds version of manuel göttsching.. the A side is beautifully layered playing that builds to subtle aggression while the flip contains a slower, more somber work. color cover on color paper.

ch-216, 100 copies - all-analogue minimal wave from one of brooklyn's finest, and a member of the WIERD records family. martial canterel makes dark, distant and cold music that is also somehow thoroughly danceable or at least head-noddable. this is the standard edition, black ink on textured paper.

ch-217, 99 copies - further remangling of this material, originally an edition of 1 3" given to the Olsons, then annihilated by dead brain and passed back to me. slow motion "remix" if you can call it that. all sounds processed and reprocessed into a psychedelic mush. a total slaughterhouse of warped noise.

ch-196, 97 copies - montreal's wapstan delivers an icy blast from the frozen north. two side-long pieces of true canadian drone recorded at the tail end of a miserable winter. distant thunder slowly folds into itself, dissolving into nothing at the end of the day.

ch-206, 100 copies - first release recorded with his new (old) battleship of a synth. don't expect any calm, drone-like atmospheres here though as evenings starts slow but builds up to a thick & churning rumble. as if providing proof that he hasn't gone soft, this shudders and shakes like previous evenings outings.

ch-207, 100 copies - a few months ago i caught a bee mask performance utilizing homemade light-sensitive electronics kept captive in little glass jars like one would try to catch a firefly or spider in. listening to this, i can't help but think it is the sound of his "bug collection" left alone during sunset. layer upon layer upon layer of tone, slowly evolving but never dissipating.

ch-208, 88 copies - confusing, anxious & convulsive eruptions fill both sides of this cassette where frustration melds with anger, sweltering in a rough-carved pit of depression. scalding harsh noise that hand over fist replaces delicacy with urgency.

ch-193, 99 copies - another in a series of long-form experiments with unusual hive mind setups. an attempt at concrete meditative sound of cascading static and uncomfortable tone. earth shadows. listen to it with someone you're sure of. digipak with color paste-on & painted CDr.

ch-194, 99 copies - a more peaceful yet still completely dismal approach to the recent style, this time opting for brighter tones, but still bogged down with grime and muck. stagnation is inevitable. the map is not the territory. digipak with color paste-on & painted CDr.

ch-166, 166 copies - the darkest of dark collaborations, starts oddly calm yet tense and slowly builds into a nightmarish mess of steam pipe scraping, burning atmosphere. 43 minutes across two tracks via two of california's bleakest offspring. straight out of the gutter. color inserts in jewelcase, painted cdr.

ch-175, 500 copies - sewer election & treriksröset join forces to bring you two slabs focused obsession via harsh walls of noise - never too muddy but never too clean - some would say just perfect. reissue of two of the best tapes to come out of sweden in a while, killing for norrland and killing for finland. both originally on harsh head rituals, and now co-released by chondritic sound and troniks. liner notes by sam mckinlay (the rita)

ch-138, 555 copies - heavy sessions from a spooked space collab recorded in at TERROR HOUSE in late Summer 2004 used as source sounds reprocessed by wiese to merge this mutant. heavy-duty staring contest. pro-printed full color cover art by john olson (american tapes/wolf eyes/dead machines/etc). it's exactly what you think it is...

ch-139, 500 copies - it's safe to say that nothing like this was ever witnessed in the lebanease capital before, short of the civil war, which is how many audience members described the sound of the honourable justice's performances in the still turbulant city. justice played on a sheet of broken glass he found at the beirut - damascus taxi terminal, an infamous place where many muslims where tortured and killed by the phalangists. the cover depicts the sticker that was on the sheet of glass played on 020604 which was found in the semi ruined building. coreleased with dualplover.

ch-127, 1000 copies - two live performances on this disc, the sound of a microphone passing through antimatter - the haunting atmosphere of a slow drone, a glimpse of captured transmissions, the grinding crackle and crunch of a machine eating itself alive only to collapse in a sea of manipulated feedback ripe with wooden electronics low on batteries.. from '95 and '98, these pieces feature the line-up of roel meelkop, peter duimelinks & frans de waard.
