long distant folk, harsh noise; cosmic music, conceptual art music, free
improvisation, magical music for the high kings from the high spheres…..

GS#33 OLD FASHIONED DONKEYS "CARNIVAL IS BURNING" CDR 5 EURO
(CO-RELEASED WITH TIBPROD)
Great industrial clatter'n'rumble from the duo of Nicolas Malevitsis (of
Absurd records fame) and Panagiotis Spoulos (of Phase rec.) 2 long (18-20
mins each) workouts of mind-melting, bent electronic gurgling, will surely
put the most restless minds to ease. Edition of 100.
GS#39 JOE+N "THE NON-CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF A BORING-ASS MEETING" CDR 5 EURO
New great album from the active Carbon man Joe Tunis + the "n" factor always
present in his works.. Poisonous psych-guitar workouts smashing in & slashing
up the atmosphere of high-corporate boardrooms.... Edition of 75.
GS#42 V/A -"REWIRED BURGLAR ALARMS" CDR 6 EURO
A bunch of artists who I admire were asked to remix/ rewire/ re-whatever
my music. All source sounds are taken from my bottom-heavy drone-opus "New
sounds for burglar alarms" disc.
I'm really happy with the results. Cut-up electro-bashing, thrashy noise,
artsy drones and flat-out doom, a great album, actually, and it all goes
surprisingly well together...
Features Robert Horton, Staplerfahrer, Crazy River, Qrt, Anders Gjerde,
Sten Ove Toft (of Ryfylke), Pål Asle Pettersen, Jan-M. Iversen, Charles
Balls (of canadian duo Gastric Female Reflex) and A. Jarvis/M. Jarvis (of
Firstperson fame). Comes in ejector-case. 40 copies.
GS#45 GASTRIC FEMALE REFLEX "LOVERS IN THE MIDST OF EATING FRIES" LP 13 EURO
(CO-RELEASE WITH BENNIFFER EDITIONS and ABSURD)
Gastric Female Reflex has been targeting an unsuspecting public with
their expertly executed and fried garage-art-noise/junk since their first 2
Gold Soundz slabs 2 years ago or so. Many a fine CD and cassette has been
rolling down the runway since then, but always with a ultra-high quality
control and superswanky homecrafted artwork. But THIS is the real shit in
the fan - the real(est) deal of 'em all, a superbly wellcrafted LongPlaying
vinyl album!! Somewhere between American tapes, "classic" mid-nineties NZ
Underground + a healthy dose of Crank Sturgeon / euro-actionist noise humor
(if you need the namedrops+pops).
LP comes sandwiched between two pieces of thick chipboard, marbled and
screened with meagre lung-capacity and dwindling solvent-doused health by
the glossy-eyed beniffer editions - further confirmation that limited
editions and personal detriment knows no bounds. limited to 316.
GS#51 JAZZFINGER "PENNY DREADFUL" C-30 CASS 5 EURO
Yeah! A new release of beautiful rusty soulful drones from this highly
talented duo. There's something really casual but at the same time extremely
compelling about this that always keeps me coming back for more... Noise and
drones but still so much more.... Edition of 50.
GS#52 ROBERT HORTON "DIAMOND-BEAK-HORNET-HELL" CDR 7 EURO
New excellent album from the ever-present Robert Horton. "Diamond-beak-hornet-hell"
deals with buddhist states of mental hell as interepreted by Robert Horton in a
truly psychedelic vision. His unique blend of haunted free jazz, psychedelia,
concrete sounds and damaged folk-noise is truly beautiful and sucks you right
in. This is where you want to stay... Price reflects a little more expensive
cover. Edition of 108 in full color printed cover.
GS#54 V/A "GREEN GOLD" C-20 CASSETTE 5 EURO
Compilation tape with 1 track each by ARMPIT, CRUSH THE JUNTA and COARSEBANGOR

RADIO PILOT and SHATTERED MINDS.
Orange cassette, orange paper fold-around cover. 40 copies.
GS#59 NUMBER NONE "LICHFIELDS" C-30 CASSETTE 5 EURO
Great, causal yet commanding drones from this Chicago duo. Extremely well
done twilight ghost drones. There's something really unnerving about these
subterranean transmissions... Like landing on a newly discovered planet,
and realising it's all quicksand.... Edition of 50.

layers. Professionally remastered by the Rat Bastard. Edition of

GS#31 - CRANK STURGEON / GASTRIC FEMALE REFLEX split 7" 5 EURO
(CO-RELEASED W/ BENNIFER EDITIONS)
"On one side, Torontosaurs Gastric Female Reflex expose their
vulnerable underbellies by offering the world the gift of song, as
transmitted through the cackle of thirty meter bronze age jump
ropes, and then swatted with limitless spools of tape
culled from
businessmens faulty tape recorders. The flipside is deepwoods Maine-
based Crank Sturgeon, taking a similar story and running it into the
side of a convent full of shark-eating nuns. Setting loose the angry
hornets, these ladies of the lord respond with high powered leaf
blowers, stopping now and again to play a little violin and pee into
their dixie cups. Not your typical avant "electro-acoustic" record,
both projects assure this baby can dance like a school of fish,
drunk on mercury and TAB cola perhaps, but to an effect that is
glorious and spacious; snakey and experimental as all hairy heck,
yet an electro-doot we can all blorp and weeze and get primitive
with." - Crank Sturgeon. Edition of 300 copies.

"MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT" CDR 5 EURO
(CO-RELEASED WITH ECSTATIC PEACE! AND IMVATED)
"Thurston yelling, bitching and yodeling along the third track of
the Chewing Smoke disc, into a hand held recorder while driving his
car. Dylan says: "Pretend yr some little fan boy who was stowed away
in the back of Ts car, feel yr heart sink as yr idol destroys all
his cred, like yr paw dancing at a wedding..." Imvated catalog.
LAST COPIES!!
GS#23 - UTON "XXX" CDR 5 EURO
A new great album from the Tampere, Finland psych-noise favourites.
Quite a bit more intense and claustophobic than many of his previous

water... Uton has released many albums the last 2-3 years on Pseudo
Arcana, Jewelled Antler and his own imprint Haamumaa. Edition of 100
copies. DOWN TO THE LAST 8 COPIES!
GS#21 - ASHTRAY NAVIGATIONS "TO YOUR F//KING FEATHER'D WINGS" CD 10 EURO
(CO-RELEASED WITH ABSURD)
Absurd and Gold Soundz proudly presents a slab of acid psychout
noise from Ashtray Navigations. Phil Todd has been toasting brains
for years now with a number of great releases. But nothing cuts
right into his acid dreams like this smokebomb of pure psych-wah.
Nearly an hours worth of perfectly fried head AND skull music.
Definately one to be had...
"Although it's not a daily question for me, I must
admit I sometimes
to wonder about some people. People whose work I strongely admire but
that somehow seem to disappear. Where are they hiding? One such
person is Phil Todd, aka Ashtray Navigations. A few years ago he had
a stream of releases, mostly on CDR or very limited vinyl, but I
don't recall seeing something new from him. So you can't believe how
delighted I was to see this new sign of life, a real CD under the
banner 'To Your Fucking Feather'd Wings' - and I wasn't the only
since two labels are responsible for this release. Maybe I missed a
couple in the recent years? In case, Ashtray Navigations play lo-fi
guitar noise, recorded on probably the shittest means around. All in
good order to get that signature Ashtray Navigations recording sound.
I imagine Phill Todd in his garage, with his guitar and maybe two
effect pedals, a fuzzy amp, a
cheap microphone and an old reel to
reel tape-recorder, playing the guitar with fingers, brushes, toys or
pieces of scrap metal. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic fool. There are
three tracks here, the first two are quite short, but the title piece
is some forty-five minute epos of guitar scraping. Noisy but minimal,
sort of like a solo garage version of the 'Theatre Of Eternal Music'.
In these long pieces, Ashtray Navigations are at their best. Lengthy
psychedelic lofi guitar improv noise. Quite a mouthful, but worth
every penny. Welcome back."
Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly 440.
GS#20 - LASSE MARHAUG "BELLA TENEBROSA" CASS 4 EURO
An all new 90 minute recording released on the superior noise
format. Mr. Noise himself needs no introduction, but on this
recording you'll find him in a mellower ambient / concrete sounds
mood. He has released dozens of albums, EPs and virtually every
known format on more labels than I care to mention. No Lasse
collection is complete without this (duh... obviously..)!
GS#13 - VOLCANO THE BEAR "TUNNELS AND WHEELS/SHAKE YOUR CROW" 7"
5 EURO LAST COPIES!! NO WHOLESALE.
GS314 - CHRISTINA CARTER "UNTITLED" 7" 5 EURO LAST COPIES!! NO WHOLESALE
GS#18 - VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA "ROYAL PARK 260902"/BRUDENELL
160103" 7" 5 EURO
"Three 7" singles next, all on the Gold Soundz label, which releases
limited edition records by yer more experimental artists, each
packaged in a pleasing Op Art 'factory sleeve'. Volcano The Bear
offer two chunks of tripped-out, abstract psych - with chanting,
horns, scraping and drones combining into the most wonderful, head-
melting, cloying music, sounding totally not of this time and space.
Christina Carter, from Charalambides, has two guitar 'pieces' on her
single, which are very much in a Charalambides vein - lovely, quiet,
mournful, meandering guitar pieces, luckily falling far short of
total introspective hippy nonsense!
Vibracathedral Orchestra are heavy, heady drone-based hypnosis
music; their tracks (recorded live!) remind me of Spacemen 3's An
Evening Of Contemporary Sitar Music, but are more self-assured,
textural and mind-altering.
Excellent stuff from what looks to be a very cool label."

GS#12 - NOISE MAKERS FIFES "MONOMANIA OF INSTINCT" CDR 7 EURO
(CO-RELEASED WITH HUMBUG)
Finally this great NMF live recording from Stockholm 1998 is seeing
the light of day (after many delays). Loosely based on Bachelard's
animalistic aggression theory applied to the writings of Lautreamont
("Les Chants de Maldoror"), this MS Stubnitz live audio-visual
performance stands out as one of NMFs perhaps strongest live
performances. One very long track (65 minutes), it takes you from
the inaudible to the full-on sense attack and back, it's exploding
with strong emotions... Perfomed partly on homemade sound
sculptures, they have developed a musical language that is quite
unique. Edition of 250 numbered copies in fold-out slipcase cover.
GS#5 - V/A "THE NOISE IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD" CD 10 EURO
"A Norway-centric comp of surprisingly cohesive free sound, with
Thurston Moore, Noxagt, Oren Ambarchi, Volcano The Bear, Neil
Campbell (Vibracathedral Orchestra), Dylan Nyoukis (Prick
Decay/Decaer Pinga, Chocolate Monk), Lasse Marhaug, Rats With Wings,
Songs of Norway (Aaron & Nick from Volcano the Bear), Continental
Fruit, Ojn (ex-Landshipping/Metrotone), Sindre Bjerga/Anders Gjerde,
The Wife Contract, If You Meet Your Anti-Self Don't Shake Hands
(Neil Mackay of LOOP, Hair & Skin Trading Co., Juicy Eureka), Julian
Bradley/A Companion as Glamourous as Sleeping, Duo Kanel, and DJ Bra
Nesegir." Midheaven mailorder catalog.
