mgrmd05: feltbattery it had wings - Ben Trueblood has been quietly home recording and self-releasing tapes of eerie tape experiments and random music musings for years. "it had wings" is his most realized work to date. over the course of eight tracks loops of bird sounds weave in and out of guitar drones and whispering electronics. at times both playful and unnerving, this is the soundtrack of nature having a booty blockparty DJ'd by robots. $6 ppd

mgrmd03: jazzdozer - one afternoon i joined prolific zine writer liam idiot (war against the idiots) for an afternoon of raging freejazz improvisation in a borrowed loft above the historic adelphi movie theatre (now demolished to make way for "development") in chicago's roger park neighborhood. boisterous, noisy, celebratory, highly caffeinated bursts of postive energy channeled through drums, electric guitar, and clarinet. limited to 50 copies in vellum envelopes. $4 ppd

mgrmd02: [my]lA.r - debut recording from this chicago electronic composer. for fans of modern composition along the lines of iannis xenakis or maryanne amachre, these three pieces confound all expectations; exploring the pyschological effects and affects pertaining to tone, silence, and rhythm. a challenging endeavor. limited to 100 copies packaged in a vellum envelope with art reproductions by the composer. $6 ppd

mgrmd06: teith oak city - somewhere in rural North Carolina three "weirdos" got drunk and banged on their instruments until the neighbors were SURE they were lunatics, or criminals, or whoknowswhut. then they proved them right by dumping all their drunken musings into a computer and painstaking rearranging all the parts until they resembled "songs" by their own definition of the word. the production techniques of so-called IDM melded with the sound of hardcore, early 90's punk, ambient noise, and a love of frivolity, sarcasm, and bloody marys, Teith are prepared to make your head swim, your face smile, and your guts puke. packaged in handscreened vellum envelopes with handtyped inserts (it's a labor of love). SOLD OUT!

mgrmd04: teith's myspace demo is out of print, but you can still download it here. Remember that Klaus Schulze record Dune? how about that classic bass sound that Born Against got on Nine Patriotic Battle Hymns? and who can get enough of those dope beats that Boards of Canada rock on Geogaddi? sometimes the best move is to quote the greats when describing your band because if you don't sound anything like the bands you mention you could get away with a brilliant description that captures the elements, but not the feel, of the beast. the format wars are on!

mgrmd01: histoire architecture - solo home recordings that i've done over the past several years. all pieces ultimately respond to the question of structure and the pervasive effects it holds over our lives and aesthetic perceptions. seven tracks of disparate styles, ranging from extreme feedback noise to acoustic balladry. SOLD OUT reissue coming soon from Viva Hate Records in Germany.

coming soon
new albums from feltbattery & no funeral, a house of low culture 3" cd, and a teith cd single.
