harbinger sound press release...
every home should have a smegma album. yes, don't you delay, y'here, this is more important than the coolest refrigerator, the best named beer, and your favorite corn chips. smegma, are from oregon, they're different, and they'll always be a talking point among your friends and relatives. this is their first european album release ... previously their fine product has turned up on their own us label - and they've shared half a seven inch on mute with non.

so don't delay! rush to the counter. buy this record, you know it makes sense...

the second in the series of harbinger sounds efforts to present the smegma back catalog.

this album originally came out in the uk only back in 1987 and is backed by the studio side from the 1988 cassette release, morass.

twenty-one tracks in total. dedicated to tom (pig champion) roberts. limited to #1000 copies.

cd features an eight-page booklet with photos and a pre-1988 smegma discography.

airway “live at lace” long playing record

  • live at lace (1) (20:35)

  • live at lace (2) (20:35)
click the play button to hear an excerpt of "live at lace (2)"
april 2009 release ; lp reissue of the legendary “live at lace” concert, featuring the lafms “supergroup” airway (joe & rick potts, tom recchion, chip chapman, dennis duck, vetza) ...

with it’s roots in a 1977 eponymous ep by joe potts (based around processes of vetza’s voice), airway had, by 1978, evolved into a fully fledged “noise orchestra” consisting of most of the lafms key players & hangers on ... for this concert (at the still-active los angeles conemporary exhibitions space) the 6-strong crew played an array of “traditional” instruments (drums, bass, mandolin, saxophone), the sum total of which was run through a device built by chip chapman that rendered the sound into a gritty flange of distortions, not unlike contemporary bit-reduction techniques (although assuredly done in the analog domain ; audio input as control voltage, ala moog’s recent “freqbox”) ...

listening to the chaos that ensues pretty much straight-out-the-gate, it’s easy to see how profound an effect this lp had not just on the burgeoning japanese noise scene (keiji haino himself even went so far as to travel to l.a. to track these guys down in 1982 - there’s a great psf disc of this collaboration that we’ll have ... some day) but on the 30+ years of countless noise-rock and freak-out acts that have eloped from greener pastures in the interim ...

easily one of the top 5 “historical noise” documents ; this “deluxe” edition comes as a full-color paste-on, with a veritable treasure-trove of reproductions (gig flyers, posters, manifestos, polaroids - see below) inside the sleeve ... highly recommended !!!

1999 lp from mark mark durgan; remarkably still available. slightly more full-on caterwaul than the space-infused later work, but still pretty damn impressive...
