> HZL - Ayes (CDR) - White Flag $8.00
> "Tim Albro and Jesse Kudler have played together since becoming

> Phil Collins, playing synthesizer and guitar/electronics,
> respectively. After graduating in 2002, the two didn't play together
> again until Winter 2004-2005, after Jesse's move to Philadelphia.
> Their interest in a more restrained and spacious form of
> improvisation was first realized in the guitar trio G3 (with Ben
> Stanko). Where that group had them playing guitars in a more or less
> conventional manner (Tim on electric 12-string and Jesse on
> acoustic), HZL arose from a more intense investigation of the use of
> electronics and electro-acoustic means. Fall 2005 found Jesse moving
> again, to West Philadelphia, and he and Tim became close neighbors. A
> schedule of record-listening sessions and concert attendance
> developed into a more focused musical collaboration in Winter
> 2005-2006, when
> proximity and available practice space allowed the two to work
> intensively on developing a duo language. Jesse resumed use of his
> "regular" set-up of table-top guitar, synthesizer, contact mic,
> various objects and devices, and sundry electronics. Tim began
> working with a unique electronics rig that incorporated radio and an
> archtop guitar prepared with surface-mounted speakers inside its
> body. Small rooms and intensive listening led to the configuration of
> a still-changing sound, making ample use of resonances, small sounds,
> and an awareness of the spaces containing them. Live performances
> have focused on subtle room-filling drones and textures, with

> Storm Bugs - Up the Middle Down the Sides (LP) - fusetron $13.00
> "After some twenty years in the wilderness when Storm Bugs were known
> only to a handful of aficionados, the DIY electronic duo were
> rediscovered in 2000 when they were included on the deliciously dodgy
> but possibly seminal bootleg LP I Hate the Pop Group. A CD of the
> Bugs finer moments followed shortly after on the reactivated Snatch
> Tapes label and prompted one receiver to comment "How could such
> sounds, radically challenging the accepted texture of electronic
> music, have been recorded over 20 years ago?" Another review
> suggested that.. "they were spiritual forefathers to Oval and todays
> Clicks & Cuts generation". Since 2001 Storm Bugs have featured on
> stations such as Resonance FM and WFMU and there have been more
> archive recordings by Philip Sanderson (one half of the duo) reissued
> by labels such as Anomalous and Die Stadt including collaborations
> with Organum main man David Jackman. There was even an EP of new
> material The Bugs are Back put out by Klanggalerie in 2002. Ma
> ny have thought that there must be more vintage Storm Bugs recordings
> in the attic and after a 2 year period of intense rummaging and
> restoration Fusetron are pleased to present a further installment of
> Storm Bugs material from 1978-82 entitled Up the Middle Down the
> Sides. The LP delves deep into the Snatch Tapes sound banks to
> produced two continuous collaged sides of often-spontaneous sonic
> experimentation. Tracks such as Skid Pan Buoy and Thin Line Flash of
> Traffic use the classic Bugs DIY instrumentation of rewired radios,
> scratched vinyl and disemboweled guitars (Storm Bugs were circuit
> bending before the term was invented). Other pieces such as Little
> Bob Minor exploit the sonic capabilities of that most eccentric of
> British synthesizers the VCS3. But this is not simply a barrage of
> industrial mayhem for spliced into the fabric of controlled excess
> are moments of contemplative soundscapes such as 111 and Waspbottle,
> the latter scored for a duet of milk bottle and wasp!
> synthesiser. In short Up the Middle Down the Sides is possibly the
> first (and last) DIY electronic concept LP." - Storm Bugs. The Storm
> Bugs are Philip Sanderson and Steven Ball (with special guest David
> Jackman of Organum on the track In The Naked Girls Majesty).
