"After a handful of releases on C.I.P., ranging from full-length CD to one-sided 7", my resolve solidified that Joe was a contemporary artist whose work deserved the focus, breadth, and depth of a multiple LP release. The all-new material in this collection includes fractured electronics, rich multi-level drones, digital bite, the sounds of decaying technology, analog twists and turns, and recording experiments and documents -- plus some other aural surprises that I leave to the listener's discretion as to whether they can be classified as 'pleasant' or 'otherwise.'" "...one of 2010's best Noise albums... Disasters Of Self is Colley's most significant statement for its sheer wealth of sonics just as much as its duration and self-consciously monolithic nature. It reconfigures his vocabulary, cryptically floating a number of often conflicting interpretations through its amplification of stasis and volatility. Deferring gratification through a questioning of its own intent and its listeners' expectations, drawn to the allure of ambiguity and revelling in the complex pleasures of self-doubt, Disasters Of Self seethes with both bracing rigour and textural richness." -- The Wire
Stylish box containing inserts with images/tracklists for each LP; hand-numbered, limited edition of 500 copies.

...To Help Out In The Garden. "These recordings are the fruit of a two-year process of extracting and modifying material originally recorded in 1978. All resulting audio was solely generated from this source material. The concept behind this CD stemmed from my interest in reassessing the idea of 'brainwashing' and how misperceptions that are easier to accept can easily and dangerously corrode -- and, worse, override -- the realities of the original event. For fans of: John Watermann, John Duncan, Chop Shop, Nurse With Wound, Hafler Trio."

"Jason manipulates multiple spools of cassette tape (and their shells, reels, guide rollers, and pressure pads) with fire, water, hand held demagnetizers, and manual tweaking -- and that's just the starting point. Each cassette component may be disassembled, reassembled (with parts added or expelled), stretched, shrunk, or otherwise permutated into a condition it was likely never intended to be put into. The result is rewarding listening for dedicated ears."

"For 25 years, Illusion of Safety has charted the terra incognita where sound, silence, noise and music intersect. Current audio emphasis includes electronic synthesis, computer composition and manipulation, musical reference, and close microphone recording. Side one is a pleasantly dense, yet not cluttered by any means, assemblage of diverse elements including an old typewriter, turntable pops/crackles, and what appears to be shortwave radio interference topped by subtle frequency and oscillation tweaks. Side two offers a beautiful counterbalance: after an initial punch announcing the track, we waver through numerous delicate swimming tones that are eventually subdued by a listing rhythmic faction suffused with other surprises."

"bran(...)pos is the solo experimental electronic music project of Jake Rodriguez. Given life in 1995, bran(...)pos focuses on real-time sonic plasticization and voice manipulation, achieving these ends with both hardware synthesizers and a custom set of software-based sound grapplers that interface with the real world via tactile control. bran(...)pos' recordings (heavy and heady like Cannibal Corpse doing Xenakis covers) and performances (rounded out with facial interpretations and physical gesture-butoh and Max Fleischer-inspired) are consistently praised for their inventiveness and attention to detail. Come explore the Valley of the Dead as casino with bran(...)pos, gambling wildly with life issues as you teeter on the precipice of securing a good afterlife or another horrid reincarnation. Mix an aural palette that encompasses such disparate elements as The Residents in the late 1970s, Dick Hyman, Stockhausen, Runzelstirn and Gurglestock, and maybe Emerson Lake and Palmer circa Brain Salad Surgery. Assemble this palette with the compositional complexity of Ennio Morricone and Beethoven and you get close to COIN-OP KHEPRI, a collection of tracks ranging from beautifully dense and complex to whimsical, making multiple stops between: folks, place your bets! For fans of: '70s electronic music (Peter Thomas, Gert Wilden), Runzelstirn and Gurglestock, German Shepherds, Caroliner."
