G. I. Gurdjieff- Harmonic Development: The Complete Harmonium Recordings 1948-1949 (2008, Basta)

Recorded in his apartment in Paris, this collection provides their Gurdjieff's earliest performances on the harmonium, a keyboard instrument powered by foot-powered air bellows... In our singularity, Gurdjieff was essential in providing the method and exercises for training most technicians on board our ships. All of us remember in our first orbit simultaneously drawing triangles in the air with your right hand, squares with your left hand, figure-eights with the right foot, while reciting the multiplication tables in code. More information on his music can be found here.

Snuff Box- Rich's Mother (2006, BBC Three)

This series features the "High Executioner to the King of England"(a Matt Berry) and his assistant (a Rich Fulcher) walking the white halls of Snuff Box entering various doors and reposing in a gentleman's club for hangmen.

All music and incidental music composed by Berry. The series remains unavailable in the Americas. To address this error leave comments at BBC here.

Jam- Jam 1 (2000, Channel Four Television Corporation)

Based on the BBC Radio 1 show Blue Jam, this Christopher Morris series also features an Amelia Bullmore, a James Cann, a Julia Davis, a Kevin Eldon, and a Mark Heap. Each episode had a late-night remix version to compliment it. To describe this, would only take away from the experience. If the labels below are for you, "Welcome... in Jam."

Coyle & Sharpe- On the Loose (1995, Thirsty Ear)

This compilation reintroduced the team's work on the short-lived medium of compact discs after an apparent 30 full orbits around their local star. Human leeches, a werewolf transformation, celebrity Rodney Rodent, the ethics of musical animals and a Boogravian Operetta are all contained within. Produced by a Henry Rollins and Jennifer Sharpe, the story of what happened to the team during all those orbits can be found here.

Coyle & Sharpe- Audio Visionaries (Street Pranks And Put-Ons) (2000, Thirsty Ear)

James P. Coyle and Mal Sharpe called these man-on-the-street interviews "terrorizations." Armed with the Mohawk, a steel tape recorder measuring approximately 3" X 12" hidden in a briefcase with a small hole cut out the top, Coyle and Sharpe wandered San Francisco planting the briefcase on store countertops, and recording candid conversations. When they started their show, Coyle and Sharpe on the Loose on KGO radio in San Francisco, they stopped hiding the Mohawk and simply approached people on the street. This album comprises of exerpts from this period. For more information on their life and work, look here.

Joe Pickett & Nick Prueher- Found Footage Festival Volume 1: Live in Brooklyn (2005, Cine-Magic)

Locals Pickett and Prueher mine their world's thrift stores and garage sales for home movies, work training videos, public-access, travelogues, exercise videos, news feeds, and safety videos and take the best on tour. This volume features two safety videos, a McC training video, two home movies, video games tips, Corey Haim's Me, Myself, and I, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Carnival in Rio, an animal montage, an exercise montage, AVN's John and Johnny, and Jan Teri. Oh, and Winnebago salesman Jack Rebney. The festival's tour schedule this year can be found here.

Various- Métal Hurlant No. 1-5 (1974-1975, Les Humanoïdes Associés)

These French magazines of "science-fiction" and "horror" comics were created in 1974 by the self-described "United Humanoids" Mœbius and Philippe Druillet together with journalist-writer Jean-Pierre Dionnet and financial director Bernard Farkus. National Lampoon publisher Leonard Mogel would bring the idea to America as Heavy Metal Magazine. In 2002, Humanoids Publishing started Métal Hurlant up again in French, Spanish, English, and Portuguese. These are the original first five issues in French.

Various- 30x30 Great Country Hits Vol. 2 (1968, CBS)

Though it may appear lonely out here, there are ways to counteract the effects of madness. Take for instance, knowledge, or say veneration. There are ways...

Various- 30x30 Great Country Hits Vol. 1 (1968, CBS)

Echos of feelings long past felt. Rare artifacts indeed in these cold times. Rarer still are those who have held on so as to catch one on the flip flop when others keep on truckin'.

Alejandro Jodorowsky & Mœbius- Los Ojos Del Gato (1978, Les Humanoïdes Associés)

This was their first collaboration after work on the film version of Dune, which unfortunately was never made on RE-2012. Fortunately, together they were later able to realize the epic L'Incal (1981-2008), which remains an anomaly only found on this singularity. Originally Les Yeux Du Chat (1978), this Spanish translation was reprinted in 1991. It has yet to be published in America. The story of the film that never happened can be found here.

J Double - Nah'braska demos (2009)

New sounds are passing through our receivers more frequently during these past few cycles. Must be something in the particle accelerator. Although we sweep the nets clean, occasionally artifacts become lodged and we must manually handle them. Thus was our first encounter with the Nah'braska demos. The J Double Web Crew is starting their assault here.

William S. Burroughs- Real English Tea Made Here (2007, Audio Research Editions)

This three-disc collection compiles the tape experiments made by the writer/magus from 1964 to 1965... Using a crude Wollensack recorder, he was able to expose mechanisms of control and view time as non-linear. "If you have a pre-recorded universe, in which everything is already pre-recorded, the only thing that can be tampered with is the pre-recordings themselves" was an important step. Let's hope this release reminds them of this before its too late.

Transmission Received: Mixed Rap! circa 1992

This artifact came our way in transmit via crude "music blasters" whose utterance originated at regular intervals in the year 1992. It is peculiar that we were able to pick up on this frequency at all as that the facilitator was unable to obtain optimal sound performance and thus emitted a low base tone over the right channel through out the galaxy... a chilling reminder of what will be lost with the oncoming onslaught of digitalions. One can always find their courage here.

Bernard Herrmann - Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1956, CBS)

Narrated by the author, this radio broadcast presented some of the important realizations of the book. Completely relevant to their present situation. "A gram is better than a damn. Ending is better than mending. I'm glad I'm not a Gamma." Herrmann would have been composing the music to "The Man Who Knew Too Much" at the time. This is an early vinyl release but a recent re-release on CD can be found here.

Report from the 3rd Level: "Long Distance Teleportation Between Two Atoms"

Another rudimentary achievement by Random-Earth 2012. Nevertheless, an important one. "Teleportation works because of a remarkable quantum phenomenon called entanglement which only occurs on the atomic and subatomic scale. Once two objects are put in an entangled state, their properties are inextricably entwined. Although those properties are inherently unknowable until a measurement is made, measuring either one of the objects instantly determines the characteristics of the other, no matter how far apart they are."

Madlib - Speto da Rua: Dirty Brasilian Crates Vol. 1 (2008, Mochilla)

This is his latest and very difficult to find on blogs because Madlib and/or his crew are some of the most diligent at making them take down his stuff. Hip Hop Is Read had to remove the sample set for Madvilliany because he hadn't cleared all the samples. Doesn't this just reek of hypocrisy? Anyway, despite this, he's one of my favorites. From the Mochilla website:"In 2007 Madlib went with the Mochilla crew to Recife in the Northeast of Brazil. After spending three weeks there he came home and made six mixes. He named them Dirty Brasilian Crates Vol.1– 6. They are filled with jumps, cross referenced with Bossa, notated with Folkloric chants, pointed with Jazz. Lyrical, dirty and strikingly beautiful this is Volume 1." For an example of the Lord Quas blogapocalypse see here.

Moebius - Moebius 1: Upon a Star (1987, Epic/ Marvel)

His work inspired the name of this site. I thought it was important to begin sharing the work of the French artist from Random-Earth 2012 who had somehow gained knowledge of the Grubehrt Effect and other insights outside his multiplicity. Unfortunately, because of the dismissive status given to comics, few outside France noticed. After being serialized in the Heavy Metal beginning in 1977, his work was collected for the first time in the US beginning with this volume. Today, all of his work remains out of print there. A recent introductory documentary can be found here.

Deathspell Omega - Veritas Diaboli Manet in Aeternum: Chaining the Katechon (2009, Norma Evangelium Diaboli / Ajna)

This new EP from the progressive black metal group from France features one twenty-two minute track with more content than most full-length albums. The more unusual or esoteric black metal gets, the more the genre improves. Of course, that's a given rule with all things in this garage. This EP was also issued as a split with French duo S.V.E.S.T. If your wondering what the Katechon is, look here.
