How To Sleep - How To Sleep

How To Sleep - How To Sleep
Originally Released 2000

And here is the How To Sleep Tape mentioned in the previous post! This was 'made to order' so every tape was different, so I'm the only person who's heard this particular recording up until now unless I forced someone to listen to it with me. This recording is a noise collage with some COPS sounding samples, feedback and synths, kinda spacey to harsh, recorded over a cassette single. Here's the artist's conception of the setup used-

4 Flies On Grey Velvet/Masters Of The Universe - Split

4 Flies On Grey Velvet/Masters Of The Universe - Split
Originally Released 1999

Back when I started making noise and trading tapes, everybody was doing a split with Jason Campbell, aka 4 Flies On Grey Velvet, aka Wallmaster, aka Static 666, etc etc. I did one, Prurient did one, Emil Beaulieau did one, and Masters of the Universe did one too! Masters of The Universe was two people from Lansdale PA, one of which also recorded as Gordon Deathswamp's Glass Of Juice, [math] and How To Sleep, the other who recorded as Street Pole Skinner and I think they were in a different band together besides this one! How did we all have the time for this? Anyway, 4FOGV on this recording are actually kinda dark ambient-ish rather than harsh noise/HNW, and then on the flip MOTU does drum machine and keyboard abstracted pop music?? And I love it??

Dogproofraccoonbubble - 57 Different Versions Of The Same 5 Children Live In Me

Dogproofraccoonbubble - 57 Different Versions Of The Same 5 Children Live In Me
Originally Released 2001

DPRB is someone who found me when I was running a tape label (very badly, sorry everyone!) called Lucha Libre Recordings because they traded Mexican wrestling VHS tapes! Luckily they also made noise and we traded a bunch of stuff back and forth. I have no idea how much gear they had when they were making their recordings but my guess would be not very much at all! Listening to this, knowing when it was made and how lofi, low budget it sounds, I am constantly asking- how how how did they make these sounds? It's beautiful, it's terrifying, it's mournful, it's funny! It's more than two hours long! It's a window into someone's brain!

Prurient - A Simple Mark

Prurient - A Simple Mark
Originally Released 1998

Hey look it's the very first Prurient album! If you want a flac rip of this then track it down and rip it your own damn self, I'm not gonna do it. I am not 100% on the track splitting on the b-side cos the art says five tracks but I hear six and there aren't any silent gaps after the first two tracks but I asked Brandon O'Blivion if I should leave it unindexed and they said "nah" so there ya go!

Jalenusdksreee Wd Ao Njndolehernyss Eo Nn - Jalajd

Jalenusdksreee Wd Ao Njndolehernyss Eo Nn - Jalajd
Recorded sometime in the early 2000s
Released September 23, 2015

A live improvised collaboration between Jesse Andersen (OKFox, USMilk), 
Andrew Johnson (Manchester Bulge, Lava-Proof Boots) and Luke Donley (Titus Twimbly, NorskuBouty Hutlers). As I recall, Andrew and Jesse made sounds with various boxes and effects, which were fed into Luke's computer, sampled and manipulated on the fly. The end result is an abstracted, cavernous swirl of noise, analogue and digital fighting for supremacy.
