#3 surplus audio supply / sad dads gone bad split ep
c30, limited to 25, fold out j-card in jewel case with 1019 card
electronics layered with four tracks. spazzy anti-pop, heavy bass music. sad dads was kind of ahead of it's time,

document of and testament to technological frustration and four-track
cassette decks.

Arnau
Sala makes innovative experimental music in Barcelona. The A side
features sputtering and hypnotic clicks, interspersed with touches of

The
B side is the exact opposite: the calm, machine like quality of the
first half is replaced by a harsh stampede of static and engines, tamed
by filters and eq.

#21 cool band now - better ingredients, better pizza, cool band now/logan bean the e.p.
c62, limited to 24, sewn a4 page with liner notes printed on the inside, secured with velcro
"Two CBN releases in one, this is the kind of band where the song
and genre change every two minutes and yet there is this weird
coherency to everything
that makes it an instant classic. We only had
15 minutes of sound for the B side so I put Logan Bean in reverse and
tacked that onto the end. The flow
is incredible. Get a six pack and
sit down with this tape and finish those beers before the cassette runs
out, it'slike synching dark side with wizard of oz."

#22 julia la dense - new york is for artists
c92, limited to 20, pages from a disney book smeared with paint and sewn, with liner notes
"It's like a collage but made of sound, or possibly a new method of
DJing that serves no purpose. A long tape of detournement and found
sounds,
interpreted through microphones in couches and thoroughly
processed. Julia La Dense makes music to get lost and confused in."
mp3
#23 Palm Yard - Craft Night
c37 gold tape limited
to 100, j-card & notes in black plastic case
"3-piece from Santa Cruz.
Extreme fuzz-pop.
There's
some legitimate hooks
buried under it all,
and
may take a few listens to catch them all.
It
sounds like there's a little Wipers/Flipper influence in there as well.
Good stuff."-ongakubaka

#25 The Groggs / Tyred Eyes split
c10 tape w/ notes pasted to re-used j-card, 130 different covers.
"The Groggs are a Santa Cruz-based trio of grimy gents who specialize
in
diesel-soaked vintage rock. The kind of unholy noise what might
erupt if
Elvis Costello had stepped in briefly to front Black Flag."
"A typical Tyred Eyes
song says what it needs to say in just under 2 minutes.
Their track
“Cemetery Make Out” is no exception. It’s fast and loose with enough
punk energy and actual guitar solos to qualify as some kind of
punk/indie rock hybrid." mp3s
#26 frostbitter - bloody embassy
c20, limited to 20, xeroxed art sewn into a case with velcro
"fat pulsing layers
of oscillators are synced up to bring out subtle melodic and
rhythmic
pulses within what seems to be a static sound. If you listen very
closely it
begins sounding like techno, but back away and it's all
texture and timbre."
mp3
#27 surplus audio supply - demos...

SAS has been "working on an album" for over a year. the result is a collection of false starts;
everything from 8-bit new age to now-sound post-punk was attempted and failed.

#30 verrinnt - verrinnt

On this tape the acoustic drones actually start to resemble real songs, but as
