antique brothers - beneath the dead castle ( volume 2) - house of alchemy – cdr – 9$
Following their acclaimed debut here on -house of alchemy- and two stellar discs on Phantom Limb (Vol.5) and Foxglove (Vol. 3) comes Volume 2 in their mangled and distorted un-series. This air is thick this time around, musty even. Prisoner children run the castle halls making these strange sounds, deranged echoes, lost in a maze. Electricity flows through this one, via frayed cords. Percussion jars you from stasis, leaving you only to gasp for cool crisp air. And then things really get unwound. CD-R edition of 123

gown - on the river - house of alchemy – cdr – 11$
Gown is Gown is Gown. We love it. 3 tracks of earthquake balladeering. Packaged in a double sided 11x17 3-color poster folded to hold the Gown sounds in mothering fashion. Darryl Norsen has created something both lush and arresting in his art for this release, ideal and deserving housing for this magisterial music. The guitar doesn't weep, it sobs.

ghost moth - sealand fortress - house of alchemy – cdr – 9$
A rally cry of twisted horns, mangled junk-tronics and guitar peals through the air. A declaration of intent to march for the freedom of Sealand! Improv titan Daniel Carter blows loud and hard with two mysterious NY noise peddlers and rolls broken marbles down your spine. Just when you think it's time to start head-banging, it's over. So, you hit play again and wait for that urge to surge, let it wash over you. Whole brains can be lost in this record. Stick your lunch in a burlap sack and come join the majesty.

stone baby - black blossom blues - house of alchemy – cdr – 9$
Distorted maniac no- blues music for people who live under bridges! Following up on a severely limited self-released cd-R, Black Blossom Blues is the next step towards the ultimate goal of conquering Western Civilization with black-hole, black-eye jams bellowed from the dark alleys of Rochester, NY. Tapes are cruelly manipulated, drones are squashed and guitars are turned inside out. It's finally time for the Stone Baby army to take back the streets!

the circle and the point - and so on forever - house of alchemy – cdr – 9$
Post-Terrastock 6, two weary travelers holed up in a spare bedroom with a random cache of instruments and various noisemakers in an attempt to unleash some of the beer-fueled steam that had built up over the previous weekend. The music here comes from two delirious afternoons, still weary from a lack of sleep, minds still overloaded from a weekend of mania- both music related and beyond. Floating acoustic guitars buried in the murk of distorted electric guitars. Featuring Grant Capes from (VxPxC), these are ideas six years in the making, now just starting to unwind. Adorned with major cover art by Darryl Norsen.

autumn galaxy - an emperor's garden - house of alchemy – cdr –9$ sold out
So delicate, the sounds that unfold here. Brad Rose and Ville Mosquiitto return as Autumn Galaxy with another discharge of aural marvel. They tip-toe around one another, laying out a finely-crafted set of music that manages to be both dense with texture and startlingly fragile. Fractured sound-scapes, shattered banjo and endless buzz are just some of the elements at play here.

(VxPxC) - drapery dept. - house of alchemy – cdr –9$ sold out
Recorded in a deserted movie lot office, this ghostly document shows the threesome in full family mode, with a guest in town. The expansive six-member line-up rages distantly at the single microphone and fills the hollow air with a thick sonic fog. "Ballad of the Empty Room" sounds as if you were sitting in the corner of the room and listening to three different bands play in rooms around you. It is the sound of a Titan's lullaby, a massive drift of ice and earth across a sea.
