RSPT023 Occasional Detroit "The BEST in Abstrakt Ent." $10
If there’s no rules, why would “experimental” music all sound the same? Simple. Most lack the talent-balls (O-D) haul around as standard equipment. Comparisons to Kool Keith might have to do with heart-bizarre reality lyrics, original beats, or radio drama, but that would ignore the shredding jazz-rock guitar, synth abuse, marching gamelan, handheld bent-tapes, stressed drum machines and full gorgeous vocals on original love songs you'll first doubt, and then believe!
 
 

 




RSPT022 Black Mayonnaise "Unseen Collaborator" $10
As an idling tractor shakes you rougher the more slowly it throttles, Black Mayonnaise is an engine lulling you the nearer it comes to killing. "Doom-sludge" and "extreme-metal" can’t begin to explain the cyclic minimalism that Duncan adheres to, allowing for rifts that pluck at your mind, a rare drum hit cascades into memory remaking the environment, leading the way to complete waveform devastation. As one Russian reviewer put it, “The common irrational structure is called to completely disorient you. And this purpose will be attained" Silkscreen black on black gatefold.

 
 




RSPT021 Scott Arford "Zombie Dub " $10
A deathly-cold terrifying streak orbits the globe, caught in its gravity, then plunges, its impact rings the Earth lie a bell. The earthquakes and tsunamis are nothing compared to what follows. Humanity will not go down without a valliant fight, but it will go down. The dead are eating the living, a total rotting victory. For the first time on Earth, a global party. Scott Arford's soundtrack to an imaginary film unfolds in nine parts. Unblinking, it awaits you even now in black and red digipak.

 
 

 





RSPT020 Peter B "Luteus" $10
His schematics for sound circuitry scarily parallel his diagrams for princeps in Nature and he really will swap circuit designs for your plant specimens. Peter Blasser's Din Datin Dudero, Tranoe, Ambrazier, and Rollable Synth behave differently depending on who plays them; hearing an instrument tangle with its creator... now that's plain spooky. One call-and-response erupts in a scream that couldn't have come from either! Insane sing-songs succumb to faceplants in jagged sinewaves that scurry off under fuzzed brain hum. Booklet of instrument portraits included. more

 

 
 

 




RSPT019 Core of the Coalman "Anxiety" $10
An exhumed abomination lurches forward, closing distance with a swiftness that locks your knees. Seizing your gut, a darkened face fills your mind. He’s come in through your ears! The bestial throat, frenetic viola abuse, sickening sines of the Volterra Infrasound Mirror-Image Processor haul you out to
land's end of Reason... the edge and abyss of Nature's indifference. Jorge Boehringer's music sends the mind on errands of uncanny, personal dread. Super fun! more


 
 

 

RSPT018 Xome, Tralphaz, Eco Morti "Battle of Primordial Energy Manifesting in Matter" $10
Our fiercest release yet. Three masters at play in a game of "Bat the Head 'Round the Charnel House." Xome vs Tralphaz start the fray then all three go at it with sudden compositions of pummeling, white-knuckle noise. Impossible to listen sitting down, luckily your head will be rolling around like it's pacing the floor 'til at last Eco Morti lets her "wwOLVERinepantherrrr cougArrrRBatTssssss" show you to the breath after which there is not another.

 
 


RSPT017 Tarantism "Stuck to the Bottom" $10
Stuck upside-under and dragged bashing through you dunno what...
a driftnet of dead kids' braces, the pliant ribbing of freshly pulled larynx, the glassy grit of shredded circuits? The range is astounding, Tarantism's widest soundscape to date. Subaudible voices fold into electroacoustics found hiding in pure sines that crash onto krautbeats. High replay, a different listen every time, the whole onslaught arrives in a triple silk-screen work o' art from Austin's Bearded Lady! Stick this one way in.

 
 

RSPiG016 Smegma "Live" 1991-93 temporarily soldout
Cassettes are hunky-dorky but this release, originally on Smegma's 'Pigface' label was destined to see the light of cd lasers.
In the way your nightmares are yours alone, find yourself comfy on the couch, face planted in the boobtube 'til vacuuming nipples suck you headlong into the horny dark. Murderous guitar, scrapey bells, bottomless laughter and language in a surround of percussion. No two packages alike, built entirely from recovered urban detritus by the founders of psychysterics themselves. Extremely limited copies.

 
 



RSPT015 Earwicker "The All Seeing Ear" $10
Seepage of electroencephalography, the incidental accuracy of AM talk radio, a frequency built of errant subfrequencies, waveforms discreetly engraved as patterns on cash unravel as electrical currency. An eye that can perceive everything at once must, of necessity, be the ear. B
ill-folded reflective-ink silkscreen package forged by J. Runcio, "most beautiful Resip release yet" says Anti-Ear.

 
 



RSPT014 The Ritualistic School of Errors dvd/cd/book $19
"...a very modern ballet performed on broken legs by little girls, over-weight imbeciles and an orchestra featuring the finest talent available." Appalling, despicable, classy, wretched, hot and wet, this is the definitive archive on Earth of Chicago-based lovely little girl genius Gregory Jacobsen. A thirty page book of drawings, CD, comprehensive film and video works, live performances, photo galleries, and jangling gems too saggy to stay hidden. more

 
 



RSPT013 "Mutual Hallucinations Vol. 1" $10
East-West Bicameral Hypnagogy with Anti-Ear, Carlos Giffoni, Hans Grusel, J Graf, Liz Allbee, M.V. Carbon, and SIXES. This is volume one in what will be a series of induced collaborations. These are improv duos among seven musicians from east and west coasts. Track one is a full circle of exquisite-corpse style duos, each artist playing two minutes beginning with one musician but finishing with another. Eat this disc.

 
 


 

RSPT012 Critical Monkey "Failure of An Intelligent Design" $10
Pried from long years in the master's grip, this is the amazing solo release of Robi Kauker, famed game sound designer (SIMS, etc.) and notorious recluse. If you hunt sounds never before to crawl out a loudspeaker, you just found yourself an extinct-monkey barrel full. Exquisite compositions, unexpected lunges, and plummets to impossible depths. All recorded, it seems,
in a teak and titanium compound at the bottom of the Black Sea. more

 
 

 

RSPT011 At Jennie Richie "The Bicycle Considered" 3" $5
Mysterious project out of the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. We've had to deal with an intermediary to get this release, what came to us was a three inch treasure of terrifying proportions inspired by Alfred Jarry's 19th c. short story "The Crucifixion Considered as an Uphill Bicycle Race." Not to give away the ending but... you don't win.

 
 

 

RSPT010 Noel Von Harmonson "Born on the 4th of July" $10
Bringing horror home to roost, NVH jellies your knees with this stripped down, no-place-to-hide assault. Masterful improvisations and the unadorned appeal of shredding sound viscera, fear will find your heart for you. If ever you've wanted to see the rest of Comets on Fire lying quietly dead in a pile while NVH goes completely off, now's your chance.

 
 

 

RSPT009 Cactus "Night is Rising on the World" $10
Thought you'd heard all a guitar can do? Reach for this bristling tangle of thorns and you'll be picking it from your memory for months. A scrape and slice for every nerve, enticing edges carefully made to hurt you.
more

 
 

 

 



RSPT008 SIXES "Organ Cuts II" $10
Sound pilings against your head for pulverized insides, the best of the bloodiest. This is solo surgery from the noise engine of Crash Worship; finally, the guts of the matter ripped out and spread across the ceiling. Not for pussies.
more

RSPT006 Porest "Mood Noose" $10
The Resipiscent catalogue only gets better! Here it is, the eagerly anticipated third release from Mono Pause, Sublime Frequencies maker, Mark Gergis. Lethal 14th c. field recordings cuddle with razor-scored melodies, swirled radio psychedelia. Flatline drunken domesticity and circuit murder summon a festive, fertile melancholy. Unguessable, peerless, a scrubber for the bloody stuff past your ears. more

 

RSPT005 Midmight "Almost Clear" $10
Rumored to have been made 30 years ago but only recently discovered sitting outside a crack in the Krankenkabinet, this is a mind-blowing composition of sound recordings plunged with electronics. Parade, piano, hockey, battle hymns—Three decades of tape sources from Buffalo, Ireland, and San Francisco
painstakingly restored and then utterly destroyed to perfection. Huge, noise blown, masterful!
more

 

RSPT004 Anti-Ear "Tre Picoli " $10
Master of stage, sound, and screen, pulls out the stops and shoots all over this vinyl seven-inch... no, wait... split open the silkscreened six-panel to find instead the maddest triple mini CD/DVD/CD ever to dance your ceiling! Play all three at once for hexaphonic sound with eyes peeling to patterns of geometry, hunger, wrestling. More big fat sounds than you got skinny ears to hear it up with, but go ahead, slim, try!
more

 

 

RSPT003 Bran(...)Pos "Quaak Muttar" soldout except here
Highspeed mouth for synthesizer face, a toy that plays you. Push start and die every time, slaughtered by laugh ear.

RSPT002 Masonic Youth "Ordo Ab Surd" $10
First North American release by the geniuses of Nieuwleusen! Secret last rites for the sane. Astounding.
more

 


RSPT001 Liz Allbee "Quarry Tones" $10
Liz Allbee plucks out her eyes and sings through both sockets in this dizzying debut of blown bits, amputated dances, and miscreant sound. Connecting the conch shell to the microprocessor to the little finger dipped in the alternating current, Allbee summons a mutant orchestral spread of plangent electronics, horn holes, and unnerving vocals. The release that launched a label.

TSHIRT Resipiscent T-Shirt M, L, XL $18
Super-limited T-Shirts with the thirsty fleshfly larvae looking exactly the way you feel inside. Embroidered in 12-color thread from unravelled fleshfly cocoons. Handcrafted in Kathmandu, Nepal at a fair price that (after "freemarket" tariffs) results in a pricier shirt than we hoped; but for once, the Nepalese artists get paid, we break shy of even and get to see Resipiscent shirts crawling tusk-first around town. 100% Cotton (the cocoon thing is a lie). Available in black and green. Specify M, L, XL when ordering See photos
