Ragas Of The Culvert, previously self-released as a CD-R in an edition of less than 50 copies as well as a quickly sold out cassette on F**k It Tapes, is a glorious revisiting of the lunar raga style that created so much of MV+EE's past. This meditative and purely instrumental six track voyage is guaranteed to transport you to distant worlds.
Ragas Of The Culvert is pressed on 180g RTI vinyl and housed within "old style" stoughton LP sleeves bearing a new design by both Matt and Erika. The overall run is limited to 840 copies and this even more limited edition (480 copies) comes with a bonus CD, Total Loss Songs, featuring 50 minutes of previously unreleased and newly recorded material.

Sifting through the extensive Hijokaidan back catalogue to find some jems is no easy task so this alchemy re-issue of the '20th Anniversary Edition' also known as 'Zouroku No Kibyou' is most welcome. Originally released as a limited LP in 1982 'Zouroku No Kibyou' features some highlights from their early live performances - a time when the group often had 12 or more members onstage and their sound was that of pure extremity. One thing that has made Hijokaidan more distinct from their peers is the physicality of the music and the fact that despite being noise the diffent sounds remain distinct as opposed to becoming a muddy pool of sound. The CD booklet includes several photos documenting the on-stage chaos.

"This limited edition, heavyweight vinyl document captures an improbable but precious moment in time. Matt Valentine and Erika Elder are prolific mainstays of the psychedelic underground - their releases as MV & EE and with The Bummer Road fuse noise, raga and Americana to trace out misty ley lines and forgotten pathways with languid intensity. Although this live set is far more stripped down than recent Ecstatic Peace records like Green Blues and Getting’ Gone, its wonderfully hushed quality only enhances the otherworldly resonance of their songs.
Meet Snake Pass was recorded at the Heeley Institute in Sheffield in 2007, towards the end of a lengthy European tour. Elder and Valentine had given blood, drank deeply of British hospitality and snatched sleep on the strange floors in the days leading up to the show, which accounts for the dazed and fragile mood..."

Originally released in 1975. Mini-LP style papersleeve with duplicate of the original obi and LP inserts. 24-bit digitally remastered. Absolute last copies – this is a warehouse find of an out-of-print title.
"This was Kazuki Tomokawa's first record, released in October 1975. He is undoubtedly the unequaled master of possessed song-spirit. Here the young Tomokawa wails and screams emotionally hard enough in order to strip the paint of the walls. Nevertheless at times he gets quite emotional and laid back in order to hush his haunting demons to sleep. Just a splendid piece of Japanese acid folk and chant exorcism. Tomokawa's music is violent, emotionally charged with insane screaming modes, piercing sensitivity, cathartic rhythmic purge, thrashing acoustic guitar aesthetic and harsh, reflecting the atmosphere of the bleak northern prefecture of Aomori. Hardly turns up these days. Stunningly great psychedelic-acid-avant-outsider folk music..."

"Burial Hex first made itself known to Aurora Borealis a few years ago when browsing obscure blackened electronic treats online. The subsequent purchase delivered a rather bizarre cassette tape, totally without markings, and a cryptic, darkly printed simple cover bearing ancient symbols and occult schematics: "Curses of the Earth" indeed. It conjured all sorts of imaginings - nocturnal rites, lonely vigils with archaic analogue equipment, moonlight, madness..."

Throughout the 1970s, legendary American composer Terry Riley toured regularly in Europe, performing solo organ concerts. In October 1978, Riley's personal technician Chester Wood built a stereo digital delay out of an ancient computer he had procured from Don Buchla, and the subsequent tour was the maiden voyage to try it out. Riley's specially modified two-manual Yamaha YC-45D portable combo organ had a Just Intonation setting and allowed him to feed stereo signals to the digital delay. The Yamaha had been manufactured with single mono output, but now with the modification it had a separate output for each manual eventuating in four channels (two live and two delayed).
During a residency as a Fellow at DAAD in Berlin, Riley fine-tuned the delay speeds and experimented with different stereo combinations so that by the time of this Paris concert, the tape delays worked well with the tempos he was using...
