From AD Noiseam
Hello,
This is the May newsletter of the Ad Noiseam label.
1. New release: KEEF BAKER "Pure Language"
2. Still fresh: "Ad Noiseam 2001-2006" triple compilation
3. Forthcoming: LARVAE, ENDUSER, BONG-RA
4. Live dates
5. Links.
1. New release: KEEF BAKER "Pure Language".
Ad Noiseam is proud to announce today the release of:
KEEF BAKER "Pure Language" - Ad Noiseam adn59
Following two CDs on n5md, UK's multitalented Keef Baker offers on Ad
Noiseam a solid 6-track MCD in which his music takes a resolute
accoustic and organic turn. Warm voices flow through "Pure Language" on
top of a very distinctive bass and a new found drum'n'bass twist. Keef
Baker enriches this vocabulary with a playful use of tempo changes and
contained noise, writing down a music both human and massive, full of
emotion and yet assertive. "Pure Language" is neither a whisper nor a
shout, but a thoughtful and laid statement, to be listen to with care
and enjoyed with ears wide opened.

2. Still fresh: "Ad Noiseam 2001-2006" triple compilation.
Released a month ago was the five year anniversary "Ad Noiseam
2001-2006" compilation, gathering two CD and a DVD:
V/A "AD NOISEAM 2001-2006" - Ad Noiseam adn60
Ad Noiseam turns 5 year old, and celebrates by presenting a triple pack
compilation, with one new new track by past, present and future Ad
Noiseam artists, as well as videos by almost half of them. More than a
collection of various material thrown together, “Ad Noiseam 2001-2006”
is a testimony of what Ad Noiseam is about, and how the label has grown
into a melting pot of sounds, genres and feelings, focusing on music
quality without ever embracing fashions and scenes.
The line-up:
Audio: Air Inspector (aka Aaron Spectre), Antigen Shift, AZ-Rotator,
Keef Baker, Bong-Ra, Cdatakill, Curtis Chip, Dälek, Detritus, Enduser &
Kazumi, Exillon, Horchata, Iszoloscope, Kirdec, Andrey Kiritchenko,
Cordell Klier, Lapsed, Lapsed & Non Non, Larvae, Mad E.P., Magwheels,
Mago, Morc, Mothboy, Needle Sharing, The Panacea, Submerged, Tarmvred,
Uniform and Wilt.
Videos: 2nd Gen, AZ-Rotator, Bong-Ra, Crno Klank, Enduser, Horchata,
Jason Forrest, Andrey Kiritchenko, Larvae (2 videos), Mago, Morc,
Mothboy and Wilt.

3. Forthcoming: LARVAE, ENDUSER, BONG-RA
Coming on June 12th:
LARVAE "Dead Weight" - Ad Noiseam adn62cd & adn62lp - CD & 2x12"
With their second album, Larvae strip their music out of the genres they
had been associated with, and focus on a sincere reflection on their
musical roots, their position as a band, and their place in the musical
landscape. Integrating guitars on most tracks and vocals (by Jessica
Bailiff, Shadowhuntaz, Hope For Agoldensummer and Scalper), Larvae give
here birth to a very soulful and wonderfully produced album which can
not be overlooked, a work of great substance and talent. More than a
year in the making, the result of the collaboration of very talented
musicians and a highly detailed production, "Dead Weight" is an album
Larvae can be very proud of, and one which will leave its mark.
Mp3 and information: Ad Noiseam adn62
Preorder your copy at click this link to order
Coming on June 26th:
ENDUSER / LARVAE "Unraveled Ears" - adn61 - 12"
Over the recent years, Enduser and Larvae have played live together,
remixed each others, and appeared on several projects together. Now is
the time for both acts to write a record together, in the form of his
throbbing, hard and ground-shaking "Unraveled Ears" 12". One new track
by each act and one remix by each act.
Mp3 and information: Ad Noiseam adn61
BONG-RA "Stereohype Heroin Hooker" - adn64 - CD
Bong-Ra comes back armed with enough beats to make everybody rave till
late after dawn, including the two cover models. He then hands up the
mixer to four veterans of the breakcore scene (Enduser, Duran Duran
Duran, Drop The Lime and Parasite) before inviting four youngsters (Cake
Builder, Cardopusher, Dr Bastardo and Ace Of Breaks) and giving them an
opportunity to demonstrate their remixing talents.
You don't need a DJ anymore with "Stereohype Heroin Hookers". Warn the
subwoofers and the dancefloors, there is some serious raving coming
their way.
Also available on 12" vinyl, released by Reduced Phat and available
through Ad Noiseam.
Mp3 and information: Ad Noiseam adn64
Also forthcoming are new albums by Wilt ("Dark Meadows"), Mothboy
("Deviance"), a triple CD by Mad EP ("The Madlands trilogy"), Detritus
new "Thresholds" CD, Aaron Spectre's debut album, and new material by
Cdatakill, DJ Hidden, AZ-Rotator and Jvox.

EE tapes
hi everyone,
remember Alain Neffe of "Insane Music"
he's back to active these days!
there are new vinyls by Bene Gesserit and Pseudo Code, and
there's brandnew HUMAN FLESH material available!
i'm very glad i was allowed to release the very first HUMAN FLESH CD!
if anyone is interested, contact me offlist
grtz from Belgium (where we still have a king and a queen)
eriek / EE Tapes
HUMAN FLESH "Songs for the victims (from a decaying country)"
CD | EE Tapes | EE01 | 500 copies -
eetapes.be
HUMAN FLESH (°1981) is one of the many disguises of Alain Neffe,
masterbrain behind the legendary INSANE MUSIC label from Belgium.
It is not an existing group, merely a musical project around the
person of A. Neffe.
To give you a fair idea, here is what this project is all about :
"For years I used to play with several different musicians, we were
occasional members of a group with no name. we used to play improvisations,
the musical pieces were from 10 minutes to one hour long. From this the "spirit" of Human Flesh was born, but the concept really began in 1981, when I bought a second-hand 8-track recorder. I began to conceive of a system using the machine as the focus (center) of the group. I could invite musicians to play with me on some tracks, then ask other people to add instruments/voices months or years later... So these people could play together without even knowing each other? it has seemed to work rather well, and I have decided to continue this way, But being as I am the only constant member of Human Flesh, Im the one to decide who to add, and on which track. However, it is (still) a kind of improvisation : the musicians listen to the music once or twice while I take the sound of their instrument and add some effects (the effects are always added while recording and never at the final mix), and we begin to record their musical part. Sometimes the result is not technically perfect, but the track possesses freshness and spontaneity. It is very important for me. The hardest thing is to find the final arrangement and to mix the track. I always wait at least one year before I mix a song (until I have forgotten what it sounds like). Mixing is also a kind of improvisation for me, it must be rather quickly done. I think it is also a very important part of the creation' . Some tracks remain for years and years on the 8-track tape before I find something/someone to finish them. Some will never be finished. I also work with people living on the other side of the earth, with people I will have probably never have the chance to meet. Sometimes we do texts in French or English, and ask others to translate it into their language and to record it on a cassette. Then I record their voice onto the 8-track and I build a musical piece on this basis. The result often pleases me, I want to continue this way."
(from an audio-interview with Alain Neffe, Insane pressbook 1985)
After various cassette-only releases, unnumerous contributions to compilations and 1 LP (?The 35th Human Attempt?, Insane 1985), we are proud to present the first ever Human Flesh CD containing exclusive material realised 1985-1995 (+ 1 long bonus track finished 2005 !)
It includes the following contributing artists :
Nadine Bal, Cor Gout, Anna Homler, Deborah Jaffe, Xavier S., Lydia Tomkiw, Darline Victor,? (voices)
Peter Bonne, Daniel Denis, Flavien Gillié, Ernest Hembersin, Daniel Malempré, Judy Timpa, Hessel Veldman,? (instruments)
For those not familiair with any of these names, they are/were members of :
Algebra Suicide, Bene Gesserit, Gorgonzola Legs, M.A.L., Master/Slave Relationship, Pseudo Code, Twilight Ritual, Univers Zero, Sleep Chamber, The Chopstick Sisters, Trespassers W, etc
If you want to hear the true spirit of home-made music, now is your chance!
A strictly limited edition of 500 copies in a deluxe black 7" cover with inlay comprising full track credits

+ staubgold 66 Ekkehard Ehlers - A Life Without Fear cd/lp
No boundaries, please. We live in an age of parallel listening. History
is stored in soundfiles, the needle being their connecting factor as it
jumps from groove to groove. Sound is information which will not be
encumbered by time or space. Search engines like Google bear testimony
to this. Robert Johnson, Albert Ayler, Ekkehard Ehlers - one click and
you get thousands of hits. Because of Ehlers' ten-track-cd "Plays"
(released in 2002 as staubgold 30) they sometimes overlap. With these
tracks, he paid homage to the famous delta bluesman and New York's
cosmic and universal saxophone player among others.
After his preoccupation with Schoenberg, John Cage, blissful techno and
happy house, on "A Life Without Fear" Ehlers has been searching for a
historic position. This serves as a reference which in turn encourages
subjective formulations. In the blues, a world presumed lost or rather:
the belief in a world presumed to be doomed manifests itself. Chernobyl,
9/11, New Orleans: Like Johnson, Eddie "Son" House or the other stray
protagonists of the blues, Ehlers has no intention to be an accomplice
of present circumstances, nor does he want to be their vicegerent. In
Ehlers' music, it is rather a room for thought which is opened up by the
sound of a guitar reverberating in an amplifier's speaker or the
ascending overtone of a harmonica. It is about "a state of
consciousness", as Greil Marcus put it in "Mystery Train" with regard to
Robert Johnson, "a tension which arises when almost everything is
tacitly implied, when the simplest words house the most evil secrets".
The lyrics on "A Life Without Fear" operate in the same way, but more
often than not their narrative is fragmentary: "Strange things are
happenin'" ? Charles Haffer jr.'s rendition of this sentence is not a
bleary melancholic singsong but a study in alertness.
"Approaching and translating" would be an apt description for the
principle with which Ehlers retraced the tracks of the blues. Its roots
are common knowledge, they can be found in the archives of John Fahey
and ? most prominently ? Alan Lomax, who with his field recordings began
to conserve and therefore preserve the heritage of black America within
the Thirties ? not as trophies to be hung in the living room of an
"advanced civilisation" nor as radical chic, but as the expression of a
folk music being "deterritorialized" by a movement from rural to urban
regions. But Ehlers is not really interested in using its main topic -
the inability to settle or to be home ? as a metaphor for a present
which is marked by neo-nationalist discourses. On the contrary, he takes
the social significance of the artist's outlaw status very seriously. He
also does this by asking himself in how far one's own research can
already be a participation in the protest of others.
The answer can be found on a subliminal level. It is not by accident
that Ehlers has discovered hissing as a language. He arrived at it by
wiring up several amplifiers in a way that makes audible the sound they
"naturally" produce. "A Life Without Fear" is the acoustic equivalent to
what the term "immanence" describes in philosophy: Activity, performance
and history meet in this music ? be it in the dysfunctional traditional
"Ain't No Grave", in the blue-mood-scales of early Miles Davis (in "Die
Sorge geht über den Fluss"), in the South African dirge "Misorodzi" or
in the precisely interlocked flageolets of "Maria & Martha".
"A Life Without Fear" urges forward to the point, where traces dissolve
? even those of the blues. Neither territory nor country can be
discerned here. And yet, maybe it is this homelessness beyond all
boundaries (be they of the moral, religious or cultural kind) where one
is able to live without fear.

+ staubgold 67 No-Neck Blues Band and Embryo - Embryonnck cd/lp
+ listen to "Embryonnck" @ click this link
"This is magic music; it melts, shifts, transforms itself as it
displaces time. It goes and it goes."
(Thom Jurek )
"The collaboration makes its most muscular avant-rock gestures on the
bass-centered "Die Farbe aus dem All", a loose-tongued megalith that
would've sounded right at home on NNCK's 2005 Qvaris album. This song is
also perhaps the best demonstration of EmbryoNNCK's casual symmetry. As
with all the album's best moments, it proves the border between the two
groups to be as porous and illusory as any drawn on the atlas, and
gathers all their accumulated force seamlessly together into a single,
indivisible whole."
(Matthew Murphy,
click this link)
"The album never feels as if the group is over-reaching, but rather they
do a good job of maximizing each other's strengths. This, combined with
their sense of dynamics, makes for a powerful debut that will hopefully
entice them into future collaborations."
(Matthew Amundsen,
click this link)
"The result is Embryonnck ? seven tracks and 44 minutes of concentrated
musical collaboration, a fierce and uncompromising mesh of artistic
visions that will surely be among the year's best experimental
releases."
(Jennifer Kelly,
click this link)
"The music on EmbryoNNCK is wildly visual. Sounds come out like a hot
spring burping up thermal rhythms. It is striking how unified the
playing sounds given the large number of musicians involved. Both groups
seem to complement each other, sort of making a super version of their
previous forms. No-Neck's feral drum jams are tamed by Embryo's
well-heeled jazz improv. At times the recording evokes Don Cherry's
Eternal Now-era explorations or even recent Gang Gang Dance. This one's
a keeper and definitely calls out for a closer investigation of Embryo's
varied catalog."

Yup, it's May... again ! This means my daughter Kira will be 8 on the 13th

Lotsa news... first the sad.

as posted on the cassetteculture site
There was some interest in Anton Balsam on the list a while back so I
thought I'd mention he's posted some more music at homemademusic.com.
Go check it out:
Everyone on this list is welcome to post their home recordings, video,
photos and stuff there as well, of course. So please go set up a page.
The next thing we're adding is a collaboration area with an initial
offering from Ken Clinger for others to add to (should be up in a day
or two). There should be a couple others as well. If you want to offer
something for collaboration, let me know via email.
thanks

MAY FLOWERS!!!
If you're anything like us (which you should be if you know what's good for you), then you've been sneezing and itching and scratching relentlessly for the past month or so. It could be the weather, but more likely you're having allergic reactions to all the bad music that's been blowing through your ears lately. We've got great news for you! There is a better way! Our new releases are an ideal cure for these symptoms, and you can operate heavy machinery while under their influence, unlike our competitors' brands. Don't trust anything less than the best!
FEELIN' ALRIGHT BY THE END OF TONIGHT!!!
As if you aren't already sick of our super limited editions, we've got four more for you! The members of By the End of Tonight have each recorded their own EP of new, original music totally separate from each other. Like KISS and The Melvins before them, each member has their own "solo" EP. But it's still By the End of Tonight, you dig? Intrigued? Confused? What if we told you they were 3" CDs? Well, they are! That's like a normal CD, only two full inches smaller. It still rocks just as hard, if not harder, than most standard-size CDs. As with most things that make your life difficult, these will not be around forever. Strictly limited to 500 copies of each, we are selling them as a set of 4 (shipped in two separate installments), or individually while supplies last. It's absurd, we know. But the undeniable love you have for us keeps you coming back in spite of our consistently abusive behavior. It's a vicious cycle.
TOO MANY TOURS!!!
We can't even wrap our head around how many tours are happening at once, so we forgive you if it takes a few days to sink in. But don't take too long lest you miss the very events you've been so salivating for. In addition to all those other bands on all those other labels, we've got our very own BY THE END OF TONIGHT, CEX, ELUVIUM, MONO and TARENTEL bringing it to you in the live style throughout the next 60 sunsets. Why not spend one of those sunsets with us! We'll buy you a drink. No we won't.
ONE STEP MORE AND YOU BUY!!!
The freakishly good new MONO album, entitled 'You Are There', is far and away their most epic disasterpiece yet. The packaging on both CD and 2xLP is truly beautiful. We are completely sold out of the limited edition colored vinyl version, but the band are selling the remaining colored copies on their North American tour with Pelican at the moment, so if you slept on it until now, you still have one fleeting chance. After that, it's eBay for you.
CAROLINE IS HERE!!!
The album that has robbed people of all sensible superlatives is finally available everywhere (OK, not everywhere, but at least in most places that sell new music). Caroline will impress, depress, compress, supress and repress your most inhibited desires. And if you think you know what we mean by that, then you're way ahead of us.
THE LADIES ON COLORED VINYL AND CD!!!
We have a very limited supply of THREE different limited edition colors of vinyl for the debut album by The Ladies. They are WHITE, PINK MARBLE, and BABY BLUE MARBLE. We have 100 copies of each, and after that they are plain old high quality BLACK. Order them now while supplies last, and feel free to ask for a specific color (or all three if you roll that way) and we'll do our best to fulfill your needs. First come first serve as always, and the colored vinyl is ONLY AVAILABLE FROM US! It will not be sold in stores. Who are The Ladies? Rob Crow (Pinback, etc.) plays guitar and sings. Zach Hill (Hella, etc.) plays the drums. It is better than we could ever explain, and we're not making that up just to get your money. It's the real deal.
TRAVELS IN CONSTANTS!!!
The next (and final) set of Travels In Constants discs is scheduled to ship out in late summer/early fall. We wish it could be sooner, but all of the artists involved still have to finish their recordings. It will be an absolute stunner of a finale to this long and drawn-out series. We hope you've enjoyed being as patient and frustrated but ultimately satisfied as we have! Thanks for the good times (and the bad).
LIMITED LAZARUS SINGLE!!!
We sold a ton of these right away, and we still have some left. The cover art is far more spectacular than we expected. Each one is a painstakingly intricate, hand-illustrated piece of artwork from the one and only living legend Jeremiah Maddock. As if that weren't enough, it also features 5 songs that are NOT on any album, a total of 14 minutes of new music! It's pressed on super thick black vinyl, and each one is hand-numbered in an edition of 300. These have been in extremely high demand, so order sooner rather than later. The price is $15 for delivery in the US. Canada is $16, and everywhere else is $17.
OVERSTOCK OF PAUL NEWMAN TIC EP'S!!!
Hell yes! We still have a small overstock of the PAUL NEWMAN CD's from the sold-out Travels In Constants series. We can hold all of the remaining copies in one hand, just to give you an idea of how few there are remaining. While supplies last, we are selling them for $8 each postpaid in the USA. Canada add $2 extra for shipping, overseas add $4 extra.

Hive / Suspicious
Now available for preorder! Saltillo - Ganglion CD [sus002]
Saltillo is the new project of Menton J. Matthews, better known to
the world as Sunday Munich. This new CD, five years in the making,
is the sound of loss, the struggle for solace, and illimitable
beauty. An impressive multi-instrumentalist and soundtrack composer,
on "Ganglion" Matthews play violin, cello, viola, paino, guitar,
bass, banjo, and a slew of electronics. The end result is an immense
sadness distilled into sound; echoing trip hop beats rolling over
the sumptuous acoustic strings, downtuned piano notes punctuating
the sparser arrangements, even moments of dark film-noir breakhop.
Surpassing the scope of Sunday Munich both in terms of technical
production and pure cathartic emotion, "Ganglion" has refined
Matthew's songwriting and the final product is immensely personal
and essential. This is necessary music for fans of achingly honest
and visceral trip hop.
On this album, Matthews delves deep into the disused corridors of
our hidden hiding places, distilling the painfully honest solitude,
longings, disappointments and aching needs at the heart of our
secret selves into the pure sound of emotional honesty. This is the
sound of our shared disillusionment and hope.
"Ganglion" is the debut CD from this amazing project, and quite
possibly the finest release we have ever heard. We are immensely
proud to be bringing this melancholy masterpiece of trip hop bliss
and night-time beats to the world.
Out April 30th on Suspicious Records.
