Mutual Hallunications Vol. 1
cover image not available-- SOLD OUT -- 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.
Smegma
Live 1991-1993
cover image not availableSeepage 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. Bill-folded reflective-ink silkscreen package forged by J. Runcio, "most beautiful Resip release yet" says Anti-Ear.

The All Seeing Ear
cover image not availableSOLD OUT "...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.
The Ritualistic School of Errors
s-t
cover image not available 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.
Critical Monkey
Failure of an Intelligent Design
cover image not availableMysterious 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.

The Bicycle Considered
cover image not availableBringing 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.

Born on the 4th of July
cover image not availableThought 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.

Night is Rising on the World
cover image not availableSound 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.

String of Artifacts
cover image not available 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 and swirled radio psychedelia. Flatline drunken domesticity and circuit murder summon a festive, fertile melancholy. Unguessable, peerless, truly a scrubber for the bloody stuff past your ears.

Mood Noose
cover image not available 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!
