CORPSE - "corpse/drowning demos" (1993/199?)

3 tracks featured on the demos were re-recorded for the full length 'from the grave' cd release in 1997.
the demo cassettes released here featured different vocalists. (my preference being the first cassette)
though some of the same songs appear on both demos, the songs themselves are quite different.

"CORPSE"
side A: -~sides mirror~-
1. Rotting Nature 03:03
2. Dead to the World 05:12
3. One Living God 05:05


"DROWNING"
side A:
1. rotting nature
2. dwell in
3. dead to the world

side B:
4. drowning
5. one living god
6. diversions

FATA MORGANA

the full length, self-titled debut of Mortiis side project Fata Morgana is some pretty sweet fairytale medieval influenced ambient, much like some of his earlier 'era 1' ambience.

the follow up ep is outdated sounding techno (it sounded outdated when it was released) experiments with some of the ambient elements added.  (they sound nothing alike)

enjoy.

k.k. Null - " Kosmo Incognita EP " (2005 Thisco)

limited edition of 200 copies.

From Connexion Bizarre:

"Kazuyuki Kishino is such a prolific author that it's almost impossible to follow all of his releases in labels as different as ThisCo or Blossoming Noise.
This new sound object is original in it's concept because it consists of a 19:48 minute track recorded in several Tokyo locations. It is a long, throbbing wound that penetrates into the listener's brain until it crushes each and every of his neurons.One perceives quite a few analog sounds triturated from old synths and impressive distortion effects. Little by little, rhythms add themselves to radio frequencies and the chaotic magma becomes a deafening crawling pulsation. KK Null works sound textures with a sculptor's finesse and once again offers us renewed and unending aural pleasure.
This release is enthralling, like everything this artist has produced since his Zeni Geva period and his collaborations with the cream of international noise and comtemporaneous music. I am one of his fans and will remain so for a long time because this man inspires me in my own music and my own plastic vision.
My homage, master."

Luxury - "Amazing and Thank You" (1995 tooth & nail)

their first full length properly released.

AMAZING luxury AND THANK YOU for the super sweet tunes + lyrics + tone + mood

i have 3 of their 4 albums as LUXURY and  while they are all well awesome, i still would probably put this at the top of my list.  "solid gold" is absolutely incredible, though its unfair to single out just one or 3 tracks...its mostly all just...pure gold.  Gold jerry, gold!

this should be a part of every collection...

"DROWN LIKE YOU MEAN IT"

1.pink revenge

Arthur - "Loneliness is Bliss" (1999 rock city recording company)

Arthur  was(?) a side project of the MxPx guys that found them in much more sombre and slow territory.

its a 'relationship'/'break-up' sort of album, at least that's what i used it for. good title for the album, only one song seems out of place lyrically.  too darn short for sure, as it clocks in at just 19 minutes and 35 seconds.

death cube k - "dreamatorium" ( 1994 strata )

weird ambientish cd that came in one of those cool black jewel cases with grey print on it, the insert was housed in a printed wax paper sheet. the case on my copy is still pitch black, good, pretty stuff. the music is bill laswell and buckethead being weird. the title for the cd is actually quite fitting, but it is a bit more active than you might expect.
