THE NAKED - how could one ever think anything's permanent
CD
half an hour of heartwrenching epiphanies from Denmark's THE NAKED. their last CD before sadly disbanding (alas!) to become ENSEMBLE ORLANDO. guitar, bass, drums, vocals, viola, vibes, and enough sweeping emotional waterfalls to get you off the ward. or back on it - whichever you please.

pow! mp3
ughCD001/zoz013
SFU·MA·TO - the future lies in darkness
CD/cass.
the walloping trio follows up its 4-track debut with a full length recorded to 1-track. this is the first release in p.m.r.'s new 'no-fi' series. why? because it is seriously lo-fi. 13 songs recorded raw in the practice room, a few recorded in 2-track digital hi-fi, live on station 2000 radio (like this sound clip). fuzzed out & bleeding - don't expect to understand the lyrics, let alone hear them...


zoz011
HAYWOOD - fin de siècle
cass.
the much awaited HAYWOOD tape on p.m.r. two 16 track studio versions of demos found on the "Model for a Monument" CD ("Crosswords" and "Plastic"), plus an outtake from the "Men Called Him Mister" sessions ("Empty Car"). all three songs are exclusive to this cassette. a must have for the HAYWOOD collector, or the cheapest way to check them out short of real audio - take your pick.

uhh...
zoz015
TORGO - the lengths that i will go to
cass.
this is a release to commemorate the five year anniversary of the formation of the rock group commonly known as TORGO. the second release in p.m.r.'s new 'no-fi' series. a live tape of their final performance on the back porch of paul JAMES, apparently on the campus of Wesleyan University. beginnings, endings...

Carl Christian rocking out
zoz014
NASA DUDE - bellahøj fyr & ad helveds til

ughCD005 / BSBTA #71
SFU·MA·TO - las zadan EP
CD
4 of the best songs the band has ever released. 'las zadan' means foreplay, and that's the general idea here, to whet yr appetite until a singles/B-sides type compilation appears one of these days with this & the long-awaited reissuing of 'the psi e.p.' & several more gems! yip yip! co-release with BSBTA. 24 min. OUT OF PRINT (less than 100 burned, right Christian?).


ugh002
SFU·MA·TO - 'the psi e.p.'
7"
four of their best hits ever. scathing distorted addictive melodies verging on churning noise smothered in booze. recorded to 7 track, featuring a guest appearence of Cathrine AHRENKIEL from OBSTINATE ESTHER. packaged in handmade sleeves, with authentic children's drawings & silkscreened text. each cover is completely unique from the others. limited edition of 100 - OUT OF PRINT. there might be 1 copy left at Etherea records in Manhattan!!! (Aquarius & Amoeba are very doubtful...)

nobody told me!
ugh001
HOWARD NORTH - 7" EP

three songs - "Song #8," "Seventy," and "Gin Breeding." highly acclaimed by their native Montreal press as well as CMJ and Vinyl Ink. a fusion of Washington D.C. dischordy punk, the ALBINI-esque Chicago sound, a touch of disco, and a hint of reggae. i can't commend this record highly enough. grade-A stuff. OUT OF PRINT (only 500 pressed).

ink001
X-PUCK issue #1
