Dischord, microtonality, free noise, artifice, high-fat riffs, and horns like jet engines make l'événements bucketrider's richest and most delightful work yet.

"Tim Catlin has taken the shimmering ephemeral nature of the guitar's indefinite identity and exploded it into a fine mist. The guitar is not a solid entity, its location in the mix not longer governed by a common understanding of how the elements of rock fit together. Free of such constraints, the sound is allowed to evolve and mutate, pulsate, rattle, hum, buzz, crackle, breathe, and resonate of its own accord...."

Western Grey is a trio of severity and icy minimalism. The members include Melbourne sound artist Philip Samartzis and the revolutionary artists from Lazy, Sean Baxter and David Brown. The recording has been made via a process utilising found drumbeats, fresh-recorded electronic sound and guitar improvisations, and mixed using a subtractive process to create an electroacoustic album of extreme minimalist tension.

A disarming playful jazz which charms with its innocence and impresses with its brilliant musicianship.

Sean Baxter and David Brown explore the sounds and textures of microscopic acoustic gestures, produced with prepared electric guitar, drum kit and percussive junk. This is rarefied free improvisation which, though focused on miniscule sounds, is best appreciated at frighteningly loud volumes--a kind of inverse noise-grind/shitcore experience.

The first recorded collaboration between Danish electroacoustic improviser Rasmus B Lunding and Australian sound artist Philip Samartzis.

A sonic melting-pot where noise meets sonority, chaos meets order, and detournement meets the muse, this is bucketrider's third album.

Candlesnuffer is David Brown. He has a history in Melbourne that yawns back to the mid-70's and has seen a progression from rock kid with a bass guitar to academically qualified guitar experimenter. His musical gifts have been a virtual secret here due to his lack of a travel bug. However it's time the word got out and at the grand old age of 45 this is his first solo release. He is known best as a member of bucketrider and Lazy, as well as for recorded work with KK Null, and performances with Null, Phill Niblock, Jon Rose, along with an army of local avant-gardists.

The Mighty Hypnotic Eye is another 20 odd tracks from the 2000 plus that Jad and Jason recorded in Jason’s chaotic warehouse in Baltimore, mainly from more extreme end of these sessions in the sense of musical adventure and sheer whimsy. Jad fair continues in his unremitting way with paeans to Hollywood Horror, discourses on slumber parties and entreaties for love. Jason Willett has brought the spirit of the earliest Half Japanese home-baked punkiness back for many lovers of this style.

The five-piece bucketrider arrives.

bucketrider's origins as a trio... guaranteed to delight cryptographers, full of ciphers to confound.

... with Roman Tucker, before he had the good sense to ditch the other two whackos and start Rocket Science.

David Watson (expatriate New Zealander living in New York) exposes the bagpipe's potential as a modern instrument; the recording also features Otomo Yoshihide, Ikue Mori, Kato Hideki, Andrea Parkins and Evan Gallagher. Cover art by Ikue Mori.

"Somehow while playing guitar in the improv scene with my own personal bent for sound, world music and history, I thought the bagpipe might tie all these things together. And an interesting trip it has been. ...This disc shows pretty much the `control' side of a helter skelter ride through chaos and control, guitaring and piping, improv and composition, benevolent dictating and great live band(s). We never had two gigs with the same line-up..." -David Watson.

Great early Jad from 1985, was unavailable for too long.

Jad and Jason evoke "Loud" era Half-Jap, your ears bleed but you need it.

A true Melbourne original from 1983, and a bastard to find on vinyl... features Mick Turner (Dirty Three) in one of his most notable early guitar recordings.

... with Dave Archdall and Daniel Dempster, before they had the good sense to ditch Roman and start Sailors.

Jamie Fielding, synth, trombone, sampler; Guy Maddison, bass, trombone; Sybilla, vocals; Peter Hartley, drums; Jon Evans, tapes, ARP; Michael Sheridan, guitar; John Murphy, evil AKS synth. Recorded 1991.

"When Australian piano player Jamie Fielding died in 1993 in a train accident in Sydney, he was 32 and virtually unknown. Although no projects were released under his name during his lifetime... it now seems evident that Fielding will become a legendary, semi-mythic figure, for in imaginative scope, virtuoso technique and joyful audacity, the only musician to compare him with is the late Russian Sergey Kuryokhin." - David Lewis, Coda.

This release was Phlegm's first and is great in it's own way, it being an overexuberant piece of juvenilia from a trio of artists who have all gone on to endeavours more deserving of your respect.

Intense garage punk, all charm. Features Sean Baxter from Bucketrider and Lazy.

A major slab of searing rock experimentalism, features Dave Brown, Michael Sheridan and John Murphy. Guest appearances from Mia Stone, Ollie Olsen and "V".
