Pengo – Fragrant Wounds 2 x cdr
Epic double disk weird-out by Americas most overlooked masters of all things freak. All the juicy bits from their 2007 jams, Finkbeiner picks his favourite cuts on one disk, while Schoen opts for his on the other. Its all here, the under water drone outs, the avant-garage thudders, the 'this cave aint big enough for all 4 of us' face-offs. Everything you enlightened trolls ahve to came to expect from the 'worlds most psychedelic band'. Ink stamped disks, in ink stamped, wax sealed envelope, with heavy recycled card insert. Edition of 100, so quit nodding, Bozo.

Second Family Meets Anla Courtis – Gangun Guru cdr
Ascending from the stink haze of Zodiac Mountain, the Davenport Family, Jesus Balls and a ton of other drooled out Wisconsin jam bands comes The Second Family, a troupe focused on growing green, green roots in your hear holes. This has got a sweet fidelity too which means you can let the leaf in yr lug grow big. The clan are joined here by the wise blood of Buenos Aries mountain man Anla Courtis, adding some zoink guitar gristle and subtle wyrd magic. For them kids who get misty for the early WW&theVV daze.

U.S.Girls - Gravel days cdr
Meghan Remy continues her one woman crusade to drain all humankind of bad blood and garbage, refilling our boots with hissed out affection while dousing us in white thunder. Hear the sound of a skull full of quartz being pounded by tiny yet powerful hands and listen to her inveigling vocals, the kind of thing Phil Spector hears in his pill poping nightmares. Note to Prog logs, this baby is a short and sweet slide (19mins). Listen to her WFMU inerview and performance at http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2008/08/u ... ive-o.html

Lemon Bear - Los TRKS De Mi Alma cdr
You ever needed the lowdown on the classical/jazz guy who took the 'wrong' turn? Then Lemon Bear be your man (is he a man or a group?? I am stumbling). Nurtured on the teat of 'proper' jazz, y'know -like real music, this goon somehow found himself hanging with the Starving Weirdos, playing with Jackie O and more importantly holding hands with Inca Ore. So yes his mind is bent, Left Coast style, and this collection of group pieces just shake the brain bake. Featuring Lil' Davy, Ivan Naranjo, Leonel, Josue Martinez, Inca Ore, Bob Jones, Jordan Dykstra and Jail Flanagan this disk reeks skywards, and in my wine hazed third eye i can sniff the sweet leaf of Rev. Dwight Frizzell and the Ubu outness of many a 'enlightened' Alga Margen euro drone cloud huffer. You got a problem with the name kid? Well how about we rechristen him/they Enabler Om? This is a true feral one.

Maths Balance Volumes – Swamp Of Inferior Lotions cdr
Snowed in for more than a month, the mysterious Mankato crew took it upon their boney shoulders to create some new 'ditch music'. Back at their smoked out shrine they spun out dense sanctuary vibes. Huffing lik pagans on gas they doled out cough syrup against stagger guitar styles, turntable/cassette crunk, violin and electronic lament flutter and thats just the first 10 minutes of this 70+ minute heathen trek.

Lexie Mountain – Stone Shit Unicorn cdr
The mighty Ms Mountain, Baltimores Queen of Tape Hiss and swagger squats down and lays another fine egg of head scratch. Lowbrow tape collage of all her chops, from backyard jam band to psychic accapella damage to ear/soul laceration and further still. All executed in her own street-level avant thug style. Like the sacred mushroom this will take you beyond mangled.

Gastric Female Reflex – Camping in 19c. Burgundy cdr
Canadas Tweddledum and Tweedledum of ear detritus return with with another fine collection of A.D.D. inspired tape manipulations, electronics, found sounds and cut-up swill. These goofs reek tension and congestion in their burned taudry headgear. Really crooked stuff that flows better than a wino playing a sax solo.

Family Battle Snake – Optimistic Suburbia cdr
One of Bill Kouligas' most shimmering ear jolts.. Using just reel-to-reel tape loops and analog synths the little greek takes a laid back brain soak in an attempt to reveal evolution in colour listening. Like some wacked out new age self help guru this disk exhales confusion bliss and sends the electronic message swimming into view. Would make a nice tripped out sandwich with Wizards and Infinity Window, if thats the kind of lunch you like packing.

Datashock – Aciduelle cdr
More deep hippy listening with the german freedom band. Contains 2 psych jams from the VOL IV session, a trio track from 2007 and an old folk intro from 2006. Trundels along the immense stumbling road of fine german drug music and makes you believe that some UFOs might be made of wood and mud. Edition of 100, so its time to put down that pipe my friend, and listen to the little man inside your skull "go get it, numbnuts."

Gryn Brvs – Transport To Theta cdr
Its not that the 1st track just sounds like cavemen summoning spaceships from the sky, the Gryn Brvs (pronounced Groyne Brothers) actually were trying to do just that. Recorded round a campfire on a hill in Ireland one night, the duo sweated out minimal chops, absolute 'less is more' jams of strumming and catatonic tinkling, sauced up with electronic drones. We also get a live basement jam and sweet closer that whiffs of atlantis. Now put your arms up, and your brow down.
