The Residents, Experimental, Avant Garde, Rock, Art; CD (1988) Used
God in 3 Persons was The Residents' first recording project which was designed from the beginning for CD. An LP album has to have a natural break in the middle of the music, with a strong beginning and ending for each side. CDs, which play straight through from beginning to end without a break, allow for a different organizational form, since works are only limited by the 74-minute total playing time. God in 3 Persons was also the last album that the band recorded using tape, the final project edited with razors and splicing tape. God in 3 Persons was also the first album the band did which was not published by Ralph Records; instead, it was released by RykoDisc.
Melbourne, Improv, Jazz, Abstract, Free Jazz, Experimental, Dr Jims, Electronic; CD (2003)
“This recording by Melbourne trio Western Grey (Philip Samartzis, Sean Baxter and David Brown), explores the liminal zone where our sonic expectations are problematised from the very start. Composed of pure acoustic fragments and improvisatory approaches which are strikingly juxtaposed with pure electronic abstraction and digital manipulation, questions of genre and musicianship, spontaneity and deliberation, the origins and intents of the noises we are hearing, are held in sharp contrast. Yet, though the divergent aural and performative qualities are obvious, there is, at the same time, a complimentarity of noise, an empathy of texture at odds with the alterity of each body of information. The four pieces comprising Glacial Erratic are exemplary of the inevitable fusion of electroacoustic composition and free improvisation, of pre and post-meditation in sound design and the embrace of chance, aleatory and chaos in performance.” – Sean Baxter

Peril (1992-1996) was a Japanese/Australian underground industrial band, founded by drummer Tony Buck (The Necks) during his stay in Japan. The music of the collective was mostly improvised, with Buck's drum-triggered sampled rhythmic base complimented by the turntable & guitar from Japanese experimental turntablist Otomo Yoshihide with rock/improv elements from Michael Sheridan (Dumb and the Ugly) (guitar) and Kato Hideki (Ground Zero)(bass). The group recorded and performed internationally throughout Europe and Asia.

Japan, Psychedelic, Noise, Experimental, Progressive, Yamamoto Seiichi, Boredoms; CD 1996 (Used)
OMOIDE HATOBA got started as the solo project of Seiichi YAMAMOTO (guitars, ex-BOREDOMS) in 1987. He developed this project by recruiting Atsushi TSUYAMA (bass) and Chu HASEGAWA (drums), and released the debut EP 'Surfin' U.F.O.' in 1990. In the same year they released the debut album 'Dai-ongaku' via the oldest Japanese independent label Alchemy Records. Their eccentrically vintage psychedelic and avantgarde progressive style has been much approved and celebrated by lots of fans and reviewers. Since the release of the fifth album 'Kinsei' (1995) OMOIDE HATOBA have been the unsettled project around two bombastic players Seiichi and Atsushi - the dignified originality of OMOIDE HATOBA can be built up under battles of play by them.
Noise, Avant Garde, Rock, Oren Ambarchi, Robbie Avenaim; CD (Used)
Oren Ambarchi, Robbie Avenaim and Nik Kamvissis, now quite 'famous', ask 'What is Music?' A little bit obnoxious, sheer brilliance you could say. Rare release on legendary Dr. Jims label......
OOIOO, Boredoms, Japanese, Yoshimi P-we, Tribal, Experimental, Psychedelic, Rock, Thrill Jockey; CD (2006) Used
These are four dexterous, imaginative musicians playing difficult music. And, if Yoshimi P-We's vocals aren't a giveaway, the colorful and percussive nature of almost everything here should be: This is an album from the same school of Japanese polyglots that gave us Boredoms. Taiga is OOIOO's broadest, busiest, and furthest reaching album to date.
