((((( NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl ))))) Aphex Twin, Battles, Serge, LCD Soundsystem, & much more!

(APHEX TWIN) Caustic Window Compilation 3xLP
*** "Repressed. Caustic Window is Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin/AFX/Diceman/Gak/Polygon Window/Q-Chastic/etc... This release collects ALL of the audio from his classic Joyrex J4/J5/J9i/J9ii releases originally issued in the early-mid '90s."

BATTLES Tonto+ 12"+DVD
*** NOW ON VINYL! And it still has the DVD.

DASO Meine Idee 12"
*** "Daso truly comes into his own on his first Spectral record, expanding upon his marvelous reputation already earned in the house and techno scenes. Blending various elements throughout the EP creates a sound uniquely his own that dancefloors will no doubt covet."

DEAD MACHINES / JOHN WEISE / DAMION ROMERO Friday The 13th 2xLP
*** Totally brainbending Wolf Eyes members and buddies melting your world -- all recorded on Friday the 13th one of these last couple years. Limited, of course.

SERGE GAINSBOURG Rock The Bunker LP
*** "A boogie-ish glam-rock simulation, with the same band as on Vu De L'exterieur . "In 1975 his album Rock Around the Bunker ruffled feathers because he hurled his legendary sarcasm at political ghosts. Gainsbourg insists that Nazism does not stop at the German border, and pokes fun at I-love-a-man-in-uniform chic. He, a Jew who wore the yellow star, is denounced as anti-semitic. Gainsbourg is by now everywhere -- TV, film, scandal sheets, he publishes a novel, has a photo exhibit, does more soundtracks -- at least everywhere in France." -- Bart Plantenga

PAR GRINDVIK Continuate 12"
*** "'Continue In My Words' may start off simple, but it's laced with a tantric-build, pushing subconsciously to the edge where kamikaze lemmings blend mid-air into an exasperated steam machine. 'Continue Me' rides on a topography of mist, blasting and splitting-up, only to be reshaped into gestures that could replace the notion of melody altogether. The few choice notes which actually are singable get de-tuned and tweaked into an irresistible, bittersweet tinge of lust."

JOY DIVISION Closer LP
JOY DIVISION Unknown Pleasures LP
*** BACK IN STOCK! Remastered and pressed on heavy duty vinyl.

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM 45:33 2xLP
*** "45:33 was originally recorded by James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) as a continuous album-length disco symphony. Commissioned by Nike for their Original Run series, it was the second in the series and proved a massive success, both critically and commercially."

LINDSTROM Lindstrom EP 12"
*** "Repress of these very scarce early Lindstrom 12" releases, on his own Feedelity label."

LINDSTROM The Contemporary Fix 12"
*** You might think the use of banjo, autoharp & clavinet together with acid squiggles on top of live disco-drums is a most unusual combination? Don't be a jerk!

LINDSTROM Plague The Kid 12"
*** "Three tracks from Feedelity-artist and Nordish disco-don Hans-Peter Lindstrom. 'Jodleknappen' and 'Naa Er Bestemor Paa Moten' are 2 nasty tracks with lots of jazzy percussion and techno-ish disco-beats. Arthur Russell meets Carl Craig. 'Gang Sound' is another percussive track from Lindstrom with dirty disco-ish."

MODEST MOUSE We Were Dead Before The Ship Sank 2xLP
*** BACK IN STOCK! Double-LP, 180g.

MOONDOG Snaketime Series LP
*** "The collection of vignettes contained in this album are fully realized attempts to integrate music and sound. Music and life's sounds are inseparable to Moondog." You should probably look this one up.

SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE Shelter From The Ash LP / CD
*** "BEN CHASNY returns with a new SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE album--a most fluid combination of electric and acoustic SOOA styles. Though there are definite song structures in place, improvisations and heavy drones are still a big part of the sound. Includes playing from NOEL HARMONSON (COMETS ON FIRE), TIM GREEN (FUCKING CHAMPS), ELISA AMBROGIO (MAGIK MARKERS), and MATT SWEENEY (SUPERWOLF)."

SMEGMA The Smell Remains The Same LP
*** "Second in a slow series of 7" reissues, The Smell Remains The Same presents 10 tracks originally released in 1990-95 on 7" by various labels. The tracks display Smegma's pioneering style of audiophile-lo-brow folk-noise-rock, in their early-middle age when they were surviving through the birth of grunge, alternative, and indie rock."

SUPERMAYER Save The World 2xLP
*** "Supermayer is Michael Mayer & Superpitcher -- easily Kompakt's most recognizable faces. Save The World places our two superheroes along the edges of the world of techno-bliss. The dynamic duo also take a few death-defying risks by sonically experimenting with some indie-pop and laidback, lounge-y jams. But fear not, there are enough pounding dance beats, stratospheric synth washes and electrified robot voices in their arsenal to slay even the most stubborn of rhythm-haters."

VELVET UNDERGROUND Another View LP
*** Brand new virgin vinyl 180g pressing from 4 Men With Beards.

YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS Colossal Youth LP
*** NOW ON VINYL!
