3 new releases: Every bolt rumbling, Edgar Wappenhalter and Dire Wolves.


Every bolt rumbling - perpetual love & chaos galore c-30
Free flow guitar musings that connect, especially when form starts to shine through and the songs become compelling and mesmerizing creatures that nest themselves in your soul to make it their home.

Edgar Wappenhalter/Danny Wagner split c-30
Edgar Wappenhalter delivers again afte...r his beautiful 'On the Beach' lp, heavy X-files theme flute vibes going on here when he's shifting through an alternate universe created by found tapes.
Danny Wagner is mindless fun, or tries to be, a throbbing headache that won't go away so just give in and feel the joy.

Dire Wolves - Bugface Looks Into The Eyes of God
b/w Take Me Home (Diamond Father)
c-46
Pittsburg finest pack of social predators go for the kill, riding the deadhead wave of the all consuming need to jam. When the hunt is over, you will be out of breath and on the floor while the pack is staring you down with gnarly smiles, they will lick their lips and you'd better start running again. Freedom rock at its finest.

Moemlien - Spring 2010, Amsterdam. c30

Moemlien is 50% of Cotopaxi, with tapes, keyboard, flute and bells Moemlien rides the waves of hiss, slowly but surely grips it hard and sweetly pulls the veil of hypnos over starry eyes.
Spring 2010, Amsterdam is a dreamlike voyage in the jungle where the sun only rises and sets once a year, spending one day with this tape means listening to it for one year, therefore listen to it for a thousand days is like living for a thousand years.
Eternal bliss is within reach!

CITY HANDS - MATCH c90

45 minute free ride into the 'subconcious mind' jam, sometimes soothing, sometimes awkward but always moving.
Everyday sounds are re-used to build free flowing movements of 'huis, tuin en keuken' meditations, inter spaced or even propelled by hand-percussion and feedback.
Side A = Side B

ERNIE McCRACKEN - APPROACH FEAR c30


I've been organizing shows in Den Haag now for the last couple of years (just checked and damn, the first Helbaard show was in august of 2005) and this guy showed up for a lot of the shows. He didn't really talk much and usually just sat there in the dark and it was really hard to get a conversation going. Didn't really help that he communicated in this undecipherable mumble and now that i know him a bit better i must say that besides being very antisocial he's also not a really nice guy. Anyways one day he turns up with this tape and gives it to me to check out, sort of forgot about it and when i came across it a few weeks later i popped it in and was pleasantly surprised by what turned out to be retardo vocal exercises accompanied by bongo. It's not really sound poetry and it doesn't try to be but it definitely explores structures and pronunciations and is strangely moving. The A side is one long track and two shorter ones on the B side.
