august 2008 release ; a pair of blown-out recordings of live-dates from hair police’s trevor tremaine and sara o’keefe (the instrumentation : echoplexed vocals and saxophone, drum-kit) ...

verging on space-whisper territory in spots, a take on terry riley’s soprano-sax time-lag improvs scored for mutant whale-calls in others ... a sweet ride, indeed ...

ara
pick up & run 200712" lp
what the...? records what003

ara "pick up & run 2007" lp captures two very performances of reed instruments, singing, percussion, and a very hazy thick atmosphere what might float over the flower fireworks captured in these two very performances. ara is the lexington ky-based duo of sara o'keefe and trevor tremaine of such outfits as eyes and arms of smoke, hair police, burning star core, sick hour, death unit, and rampart tapes board of direction.

however these adjectives of death sick police, of those maybe there need to be new descriptions in place -- we're not quite sure what it is but in this alternate universe it could be the peace police, skywatcher hour, life unit, colourful star party, etc. who are close neighbors. fleeting "jazz" reference, male/female lowlife love vocals, drugstore basement electroacoustic, just warm and cloudy all over like a yesterday today. feature the most complicated what the..? record covers so far, each unique handmade and silkscreened by paul coors; the materials you have grown come use to except melted together in rare effort. paintspray turns into watercolours, perfume, and northern lights -- with a mini-poster and edition of 177 (there is no controls on mother nature).

speculum fightlive in tokyo ‘95” long playing record

excellent, archival lp containing damion romero’s set from this event ::

what the...? press release...
artist: speculum fight
title: live in tokyo 1995
format: 12" lp
label: what the..? records
cat number: what002

we are proud and excited to present our second effort as the team what the..? records in finest production and resurrection of artifacts from some of the favorite artists. this time.... -- a lost long live set from california sound unit speculum fight (to some now known as damion romero), taken place back in a heavy time for sound of such density and heaviness, in one of the heaviest zones on planet earth -- toko, japan circa 1995 !!! these sides are cut striaght in vein from chrome cassette to cutting needle, as if drawing the very energy of analog spirit without the interference of digital approximation, and indeed it is pure anaolog these grooves you hear!!!

romero has stated this live set is in direct influenced by such dark-cloud recordings as "milky way" (infamous keiji haino live set) and perhaps ritualistic density of c.c.c.c., but we know the sound is also instead pure west coast motor engine fog monster. bonus slab of soundcheck included at the beginning, to set the stage for what surely will be known as a prime window into pure eyes-closed eclipsed darkness of highest mental order. romero does not su much as "play" as he does just line up of cosmic and physical psychic energy to birth a creation of situation for top-notch psychic physical cosmos.

comes in silkscreened cover with heavy-duty resealable polyethylene bag, includes reproduction of original show flyer and numbered photograph from the trip in the eye of romero himself. hold inside cover in front of face while listening for best results. edition of 300.
