Pierre Henry, Musique Concrete, Avant-Garde, Noise, Experimental, Composition; DVD - New
An essential video to discover Pierre Henry's rich work through his words of the often rare and precious archives taken from the depth of a long career, from the composer's early days with Pierre Schaffer until the 2000s. Pierre Henry appears not only as the great musician we know, but also as a visual artist creating amazing reliefs paintings in which he reconverts elements detached from his old instruments, mixing consoles, etc., according to a very singular artistic approach. Henry is visited by the film team on the occasion of a house concert, so you get a kind of “home story” which, thanks to many insights into Henry's work, has been extremely interesting. There are also excerpts from several concerts and long interview passages. This is how the portrait of a mysterious, fascinating musician is created. In addition to the main film, the DVD also features a complete performance from 2005, the recording of a rehearsal (uncut, very interesting to see Henry adjusts to room acoustics) and a short film from the 1960s, in which Henry contributed music and image editing.

Garage, Punk, Psych, Pop, Nuggets, Boxset, Spanish, South America, Mexico; 4xCD and Hardcover Book
4 CD's housed in a wonderful hardbound book with full color scans, photos and authoritative text of "Latin American" 60's punk, pop and psychedelia". It's title is something of a misnomer as there are actually quite a few tracks by Spanish 60's bands as well (Los Salvajes, Los Bravos, Los Sirex etc). Regardless, it's an amazing collection of a variety stuff in Spanish from the 1960's from carbon copy British invasion covers, to Latin American Sonics impersonators to way out acid eating full blown psychedelia it's a delight from start to finish (with lots of amusing radio/TV commercials in Spanish from the 60's thrown in). "Nuggets II" scratched the surface on this genre with a few inclusions, this set digs up the treasure chest!
Cult, Underground, Outsider, Folk, Psychedelic, Lo-fi, Acid, Free Form, Underground; CD - Ex Used condition
YOU USED TO THINK is one of those rarities of pure inspiration that rates up there with first platters by the MC5, Stooges, Fugs, Velvet Underground, Silver Apples, Godz, Pearls Before Swine, etc... a classic ‘68 underground album: a collage of fucked-up eastern ragas, jazz, and atonal folk rock, delivered in a beautiful, raspy, feverish, drug-induced howl, featuring the poetry and singular voice of Erica Pomerance. ESP produced more than its share of outsider visions and here was an album more like a situation, that peeked inside and outside the bullcrap of the music world and the various genres it endlessly pumps out. The album goes in and out of consciousness, presenting an oblique postmodern Caligarian world, teetering on destruction, possession, beauty and revolt. Pomerance will make you think. She is the real fairy godmother of free-rock and the acid-folk movement. Her global post-rock attitude is bold and triumphant, unpredictable, spitting out ironic anthems, anti-anthems, zen metaphors, surrealist flower-power, humor, knowledge and razorblade street slang.

Rare, Japanese, Noise, Experimental, Live , Performance Art, Japanoise, Offensive; CD (original 1991release) - Ex Used condition
Live Greatest Hits is an album by The Gerogerigegege released on Juntaro's own VIS A VIS AUDIO ARTS label in 1991. This album is a collection of three live performances from 1991, 1990, and 1987. The main audio in this albumconsists of a 51 year old exhibitionist moaning as he jacks off live in front of a crowd, with additional live audio and tweaking by Juntaro. One thing sets the Gerogerigegege apart from other bands/artists of the time was a somewhat regular masturbation theme. Either songs based on wanking, or as in this case, songs that are audio recordings of wanking. This is certainly a far more experimental approach than GG Allin's masturbations sessions release. In this album Gero 30, who is performing here a composition by Juntaro, moans and masturbates through the entire album, sometimes screaming/shouting as well. Accompanying him is a drum machine and some other elctronic fuckery. This is certainlyan awesome album from this legendary experimental noise band. Like the rest of these ultra limited Japanoise releases, the prices are skyrocketing.....
Japanese, Experimental, Noise, Japanoise, Punk, Harsh, Juntaro, Gerogerigegege; CD (1991) - Ex Used condition
Yet another infamous balls to the wall blast of pure frenzied noise from this Japanoise legend. This disc is loaded with fucking excrutiating noise punk tracks. The liner notes contain a clean and clear gerogerigegege discography leading up to the release of this album. The sound of an old japanese pop song starts the whole CD off before it violently jerks into a full frontal feedback laden attack on the senses. The album flows together well as all the tracks sort of bleed into one another. The main instruments of choice (aside from juntaro's tortured japanese-man-caught-on-fire screams) seem to simply be guitar, bass, and drums, albeit churned deep into the cesspool. The song titles alone are worth the soaring prices that these original older Japanoise releses are fetching. The track 'car sex macdonald drive in let's go,' which happens to be the album's epic orgasmic peak, speaks for itself. This disc is totally indispensible.
Put up by Juntaro's own 'VIS A VIS' audio arts label 1991.
Japan, Experimental, Field Recording, Japanoise, Avant Garde, Lo-fi, Juntaro, Gerogerigegege, Rare; CD (1994) - Ex Used condition
As with most Gerogerigegege releases, this one is another rare as shit Japanoise oddity. This release is one of the most eerie and haunting pieces of music juntaro ever bothered recording. It is also probably one of the gerogerigegege's most unique albums available to interested experimental Japanese music consumers. Apparently, the given description from the (Japanese) liner notes states that the entire cd is pretty much just a field recording of a drunk homeless japanese man rambling over the sounds of an incredibly distant piano. Probably the quietest work done by the group, its often thought to have been either a long winded work of social commentary, or a piece of music that Juntaro created for or about his mother, who was supposedly a rather famous japanese classical pianist. This original 1994 release CD has cover art consisting of 2 paragraphs written in japanese next to a black and white photograph taken by Juntaro of 2 little kids wearing rabbit masks in an unknown village. The back cover has a picture of a horse. This CD, although being quite stark and distant, is also rather unnerving. File under 'Uneasy Listening'.
