artist : heldon title : allez teia label : wah wah records supersonic sounds catalogue number : lps069 format : lp after our latest string of releases centered around the diverse german 70's scene, we’re happy to introduce the next installment in the wah wah lps reissue series. this time we move over to france to re-discover the beginnings of one of the most adventurous, influential and innovative french bands of the seventies: heldon. centered around guitarist richard pinhas and featuring a floating cast of regular collaborators (didier batard, françois auger, patrick gauthier, alain renaud, georges grunblatt; coco roussel amongst others), heldon will marry pinhas personal obsessions - modern philosophy (deleuze, guattari), science-fiction (norman spinrad, philip k.dick), progressive rock (king crimson, fripp & eno), american minimalism (terry riley, steve reich) and electronic music - into a diverse musical cocktail that goes from the violent to the relaxed, but always retaining a dark and mysterious vibe. often linked by critics and listeners to the experimental german bands of the era (tangerine dream, ash ra tempel..), heldon will release six crucial albums before being closed down by pinhas in the late 70’s. since then, pinhas has developed long solo career that lives up to this day, releasing several albums and collaborations (pascal comelade, john livengood, maurice dantec) the most recent being with japanese noise king merzbow. heldon – allez teia originally released in 1975, the follow-up to electronic guerrilla was a more subdued and relaxed affair with emphasis on richard pinhas guitar and good use of mellotron. hints of early king crimson and the fripp-eno lp’s are again evident in a record that stands-out as one of the more mysterious and intriguing of the whole heldon discography. a puzzling hypnotic tapestry of sounds by one of the most essential bands of 70's experimental music. strictly limited to 500 copies - high quality gatefold sleeve reproducing the original artwork from 1975’s first press on disjuncta - includes insert with extra liner notes by spanish journalist and longt-time heldon fan paco peiró – bonus 7" ep with non-album tracks taken from heldon’s singles of the era. personnel: richard pinhas (vcs3 synth, guitars, a.r.p., tapes) george grunblatt (mellotron, guitars, a.r.p.) alain renaud (guitar on 2) alain bellaiche (bass on 3)

artist : ton vlasman title : white room with disintegrating walls label : wah wah records supersonic sounds catalogue number : lps065 format : lp ton vlasman recorded this amazing piece of acid euro folk back in 1970, making it sound like an outter space freaked out bob dylan with the help of frans schoonen (organ, flute and harmonica) and leo van vugt (chincha tumba and tambourine). the seven original compositions are stunning, drug inspired psychedelic pieces of acid folk that mix dylan with indian ragas and even add some pink floyd overtones, yet from an acoustic rather than electric point of view. and the album contains also a very cool version of the velvet underground's "pale blue eyes". if you evered wondered how would dylan have sounded covering the v.u., here's a close example! the album, originally released on the small flame label from amsterdam, sold poorly back in the seventies - thus becoming a collector's piece when it was rediscovered in the eighties. since then it has been gathering new fans that pay small fortunes for a copy, no reissue has been available until now that wah wah offers 500 copies in a lavish edition that will probably sell out soon, so grab your copy before it's too late! the beautiful cover art and full color poster insert with the lyrics are the work of leendert le duc, and both are here faithfully reproduced as they deserve. the wah wah reissue also features an extra insert with a text by reputed dutch collector jean jöbses and a couple of rare unseen period photos courtesi of the frans schoonen and leo van vugt archives. the album has been carefully remastered by sound wizard denis blackham @ skye mastering, making these songs sound like never before. remember, 500 copies only - don't miss it!

lps050 guru guru – hinten mani, ax and uli do it again: hinten was guru guru's second album for ohr, the follow up to their crazed ufo lp. recorded in july 1971 at star studios (hamburg) with the help of konrad plank, hinten saw guru guru moving away from their trademark freeform jams and into a somewhat more structured and song-based format but still retaining the wild and crazy edge of their debut album. space is now given to lyrics and spoken-word passages but without forgetting screaming guitar action and space rock tripping. mani neumeier delivers some nonsensycal lyrics and primitive howls while ax genrich indulges is his usual guitar onslaught and bebauchery. as crazy as it gets... guru guru were truly one of a kind!!!! strictly limited to 500 copies - gatefold cover - sealed copies w/ info sticker
