eclipse press release...

splendor mystic solis - heavy acid blowout tensions live lp (galactic zoo disk / eclipse)

together for only one us tour, this transcontinental supergroup featured kawabata makoto (acid mothers temple, mainliner, nishinihon, musica transonic, countless other projects), sasaki hisashi (ruins), shimura koji (white heaven, high rise, mainliner, miminokoto), mastermind nanjo asahito (high rise, mainliner, red alert, etc.) and plastic crimewave (utopia carcrash, the unshown, plastic crimewave sound) who organized the at times tension-filled tour. these two concerts from chicago and detroit feature barnstorming acid rock blowouts that eerily stop on a dime and escalate to dizzying heights just as easily. some frames of reference might include ash ra tempel, amon duul ii or japanese psychsters white heaven and fushitsusha. the album features equally excessive lysergic artwork by plastic crimewave.

2008 release ; first album in a while from contemporary chicago mainstay / galactic zoo disk / dossier’s steve “plastic crimewave” krakow & his “spacepunk” ensemble plastic crimewave sound ...

eclipse press release...

plastic crimewave sound - plastic crimewave sound lp (ecl-058)

at last, a new lp from chicago's spacepunk purveyors--! following 06's sprawling double concept lp, 'no wonderland," this is perhaps their most consistent and paint peeling statement yet. these tracks were captured with little studio trickery, in a live-type fashion--a set of bellowing free-fest scuzzrock, biker boogie, kraut-style dirges, cosmic communal jams, and fist pumping no-anthems. this is easily the most seriously rocking plastic crimewave sound line-up yet, with hot new leads courtesy of nick d'vyne, and the solid backbone of pcw (guitarscrawl, yelps) mark lux (bass rumblage, electronix) and lawrence (skog device) peters-(drum). folks have actually been clamoring for this line-up to lay it down to wax (especially the aforementioned anthemic cut "shockwave rider") for some time, so get ready to explode into space.

limited edition - one time pressing.

eclipse press release...

pelt - heraldic beast dbl lp (eclipse, 2006)

"intense 2 lp survey of pelt geography around the turn of the century, compiling live recordings the band issued on cdrs in tiny editions or on comps plus some unreleased material. combines the most all-out electric attacks pelt's ever deigned to release, plus some of the growling drone float that preceded/coincided with the band's jump into acoustic material. off the hook gatefold packaging that maybe offers hints of sources, etc. "

this dbl lp set is sure to blow some minds - especially those who have come to know pelt in the past 2-3 years. these early recordings (1998-2003) are heavy and sure to please those who have been waiting patiently for this. the packaging is incredible, too - with beautiful artwork and a very sturdy gatefold sleeve. dig it.

ilya monosov / preston swirnoff / habitat sound system “split l.p. (volume 4)” long playing record

monosov swirnoff - needle’s eye (6:18)
monosov swirnoff - desire sings just one true song (9:39)
habitat sound system - golden hill dub (3:59)
habitat sound system - eritrean lovers dub (5:03)
habitat sound system - cheating heart dub (7:10)
habitat sound system - hard rope dub (3:26)

eclipse press release...

california sound artists ilya monosov and preston swirnoff return with two more sonic labyrinths stretched over disparate terrain. as on their previous albums, monosov and swirnoff cast boundaries to the wind. disillusioned and wise to the ways of the world, the duo not only succeeds in propping up the shambolic planet they created on recorded works vol. 1 & vol. 2, but also in soaring toward the furthest reaches of distant suns.

where volume 3 is steeped in elegiac drones and tones, volume 4 turns off the main road and heads toward a fuzzed-out oblivion. this record is actually a split between the monosov/swirnoff duo and their band habitat sound system. opener "needle's eye" throws back to side b of volume 2 and another monosov/swirnoff band, the shining path. with spaced-out hints of les rallizes denudes, this is a cosmic transport into the stratosphere. the other duo track, "desire sings just one true song," is the antithesis of "needle's eye." unplugged and methodic, it unfolds like an impulsive narrative where the ending seems as unlikely as the storyline. organic drones of hurdy gurdy, harmonic, and bowed banjo meander over streams of abstract percussion. it pours perfectly into a dub-infused rhythm that closes out the side. habitat sound system pick up this theme with impressive ease with four tracks straight from the kingston underground. smoke-filled jams sound as though they've been hibernating all winter complete with horns, synthesizers, organs, and more. in the habitat sound system, it never rains, only shines." - brad rose.

ilya monosov / preston swirnoff “five recorded works (volume 3)” long playing record

my earth (5:40)
snake lust (7:39)
repeat again (2:22)
fly away (7:10)
with charles curtis (11:13)

eclipse press release...

california sound artists ilya monosov and preston swirnoff return with two more sonic labyrinths stretched over disparate terrain. as on their previous albums, monosov and swirnoff cast boundaries to the wind. disillusioned and wise to the ways of the world, the duo not only succeeds in propping up the shambolic planet they created on recorded works vol. 1 & vol. 2, but also in soaring toward the furthest reaches of distant suns. blurring the line between composition and improvisation, these new installments are rare, unearthed gems.

volume 3 begins with dancing shadows and acoustic myopia. monosov's minimal vocals lead swirnoff's piano ramblings deeper into the cerebral maze, inadvertently finding the best route out. setting off the shaky delicacy of the opener and side a closer, "repeat again" (with enchanting vocals from naomi) are the raucous, industrial rhythms of "snake lust" and "fly away." the indian-inspired drones of "with charles curtis" top the whole thing off with cinematic splendor. monosov and swirnoff manage to seamlessly mesh these ideas into a cohesive whole." - brad rose.

paul labrecque / valerie webb “trees, chants and hollers” long playing record

ramble on, so so
high country jig
moon reflections on 3 deep pools
the valley
an acre of stone (for rachel corrie)
amish nights
many horses rise
what we stole from the fire
the death of fear
swift river blues

2006 release ; lp reissue of the band’s prior 2004 “wooden finger” edition of this set of home-recorded wonder by paul labrecque & valerie webb (whose marriage is documented by the sunburned “wedlock” double-lp) ...

absolutely love paul’s recent solo lp on ecstatic peace! from earlier this year ; this offers a similar blend of traditional guitar/banjo styles and more experimental material (the extended “an acre of stone” comes across more like a david jackman production than anything from the sandy bull cookbook) ...

really nice one, glad i finally discovered it after all this time !!!

ilya monosov / preston swirnoff - two recorded works (volume 2) lp (eclipse, 2005)

"two recorded works opens in equally brooding, cinematic fashion with swirnoff's 'air organ' slow gasping its weighted way through magenta dust-clouds of bowed guitar. later, sea-shanty bellows underscore the spectral traces of whistles and ghosted vocals and whistles to particularly melancholic effect. but the final side, credited to monosov and swirnoff's rock unit the shining path, is a whole other kettle of herring. it rockets upwards into the fuzzed out expansive zones of the rallizes sound, but is tethered to an on-edge, speedfreak shake of a suicide rhythm, just too fast for comfort. bliss handily circumvented, higher mind tied to delerium tremens. i think they're trying to tell us something" - alan cummings.

"time passed, and we began recording volume 2 which contains our experiments with song form and our rock band, the shining path. we would like to thank ed hardy for offering us creative freedom over a span of four vinyl records, the last of which we plan to record in 2005." ilya monosov (2005).

first in a quartet of somewhat unheralded lps (they’re... eclipsed in the eclipse catalogue of late-night stoner “jams” & fre(a)e(k) folk gems...) of mannered minimalism & eastern-leaning improv from the duo of ilya monosov & preston swirnoff - also know for their project the shining path (recent lp/cd on holy mountain.)

natch modern-composition-leaning music performed on “rock” instrumentation is a subject close to my heart; these guys pull it off with apparent ease, tact, & much crossover potential with the contemporary drone-music scene ... exemplary.

eclipse press release...

ilya monosov / preston swirnoff - seven recorded works (volume 1) lp (eclipse, 2005)

"the sound of two souls, all alone in claustrophobically infinite space. these two volumes see disenchanted californians ilya monosov and preston swirnoff whittling out their own autonomous spaces far from the surf and sun, then climbing in and nailing the door firmly shut behind them.

seven recorded works comes over like someone has leached the spirits of ennio morricone, eric satie and pauline oliveros, stuffed them in a leaky wooden barrel, and set them rolling out to sea on a spring riptide. uncertain, hesitant piano and melodica miniatures undercut with the evil drone of harmonica and hurdy-gurdy. it's a creaking and queasy trip, guaranteed to heave underwater, piratical nightmares out of some long suppressed substream of your subconscious." - alan cummings.

"our collaborative effort is our search for new models for what people call 'song', 'improvisation', 'dub', and 'composition'. the first volume documents a difficult pairing, i play hurdy gurdy and harmonica, preston swirnoff plays piano and organ. i used a harmonica on the last day of our blues sessions, and with that we ended the recording of volume 1. we would like to thank ed hardy for offering us creative freedom over a span of four vinyl records, the last of which we plan to record in 2005." - ilya monosov (2005).

double leopards “halve maen” double compact disc set

sound holes

druid spectre
a hemisphere in your hair
viking blood
the forest outlaws
the secret correspondence 1 & 2

... figured the timing was right for a re-visiting of the recorded work of this short-lived (well, 6 years, in this climate, is actually fairly substantial) brooklyn quartet, featuring marcia bassett (prior in un, now in hototogisu and solo as zaïmph), mike bernstein & maya miller (now of religious knives), and chris gray (now in endless boogie) ...

in contrast to everyone’s contemporary work & the band’s follow-up “out of one, through one and to one”, these eight pieces have a much more clearly defined tonal center, perhaps lending a bit more in the way of pleasant listening overall ... i’d still call this & “a pebble in thousands of unmapped revolutions” as the two key recordings in the early 21st century drone-improv renaissance ...

eclipse press release...

double leopards - halve maen dbl cd (eclipse, 2005)

at long last (and i really mean it - this has been 9 months since the dbl cd project started) and after numerous delays and manufacturing errors this dbl cd has seen the light of day! and it was worth the wait after i was finally able to hold one of these. this digital version contains the exact same tracks as the dbl lp (now out of print) and is a mini-replica of the gatefold lp version. this gatefold cd package came out real nice and even has an insert with it (like the vinyl version, too). edition of 1000 copies.

eclipse press release...

tom carter - root king lp

second solo release (first if cdrs don't count) by charalambides member tom carter. white les paul copy, lap steel, and a purloined bell collection layered into three long tracks of string moan and slithering hum. a manifesto of grounding during an uprooted time, an attempt to bend in the wind. a slice of a long winter and a momentary flash of cranially pooled guitar sound suddenly scattered by unexpected freedom. a guitar album (mostly).

- tom carter.

really great lp pressed in an edition of 533 copies with printed sleeves and very nice artwork by tom carter.
