are you sure? i'm listening to my copy of the CD and while there are
some moments of percussion, it's not overall. your description better
fits their JUST AN ILLUSION album actually. it should be noted that LOH
LAND is a re-release of their earliest material and at times it shows.
i think it's pretty nifty and the artwork certainly is great.

for those not on nm, we have a new mailing address. electronic queries are
always welcome, just remember to jot this address down for future
reference:

	FLYING ESOPHAGUS PRODUCTIONS
	p.o. box 390935
	mountain view, ca  94039-0935, USA

we are also pleased to announce that our first CD release is due out in
February by a band called NADA. imagine Coil meets Savage Republic. i'll
be posting more info when it becomes available. below is a copy of our
catalog without prices and ordering information (so as not to offend some
usenet folks). if you don't care, don't read any further.

hasta.

CASSETTES:


		THE AURICULAR MONTHLY AUDIO MAGAZINE
	
the Auricular Audio Magazine features a collection of artists
compiled monthly, representing the high quality of sound and music
experimentation that often is greatly ignored by the mainstream and
many times falls into the cracks ofthe underground cassette culture.
each issue comes with limited edition packaging and a 60 minute
cassette.


AURICULAR AUDIO MAGAZINE No. 5

features international artists: Dishumana Res and Eiaculazion
Amusicale (both from Italy) as well as Mike Hovancsek, Eterminating
Angel, Chemical Sludge Cats, Robo, Hintion and Plecid.


AURICULAR AUDIO MAGAZINE No. 6

nicely packaged booklet in a pouch features tracks by Grae*Com,
Aaron Ross, Bucolic, The Dye Group, Henry Warwick and Busyditch.


AURICULAR AUDIO MAGAZINE No. 7

packaged in a silver mylar static-free bag with booklet. Tape
includes tracks by Blackhumour, Gen Ken Montgomery, Shift, Jim Jean,
Eleven Shadows, Iaocore and Screaming Isolation.


		THE EVOLUTION CONTROL COMMITTEE
			
"more unnatural recordings from the Negativland of the Midwest
...great unusual stuff, overall." -- File 13 magazine


THE EVOLUTION CONTROL COMMITTEE	"The Last Mall"

packaged in a stapled LazuraSears bag and stuffed with other relics
of consumer-related items, it's 45 minutes of a single long
conceptual piece that flows surprisingly well into its various phases.
the concept here is the shopping mall, that cheesy conglomeration of
various odd stores that somehow maintains a kind of familiar
homo geneity, much like hickory farms cheese platters, which are
often sold in malls.


THE EVOLUTION CONTROL COMMITTEE  "Jesu, Boy of Man's Desiring"

this is the committee's first release. some of it sounds like a
mixture of Negativland, the Dead Kennedys, and stuf you hear on the
Dr. Demento show. the wild cut ups on side two and the floating
ethereal instrumental make this one worth having, and "Spread The
Diagonal Chicken" has real pop hit potential.


THE EVOLUTION CONTROL COMMITTEE	"Penis de Milo"

the most raw experimental work of the committee. starts off with
processed Kodo drummers from a PBS documentary, and a long section
of what happens when you write on the playing side of a CD with a
magic marker, followed by a very long "Industrial Muzak" section of
mixing noises. the last track, a cut-up called "The Mighty Hamburger"
almost completely and single-handedly makes the tape. great stuff.
and it may even have you writing on CDs, too.


THE EVOLUTION CONTROL COMMITTEE	"Buddha Bleach"

a very accomplished work. it starts off with a hilarious K-Tel
style radio ad and goes into a physics lesson entitled "Throw Your
Landlord Out the Window". the mixology sessions are the best part--
"Have Some Candy" will positively burn the phrase "You are alone,
no other people around" into your memory, which may or may not be
a good thing, but one can't really complain when it's done so well.
"Third Floor" provides another nice ethereal songs.


FORMULA 409	"Cleanses Your Palate" *

"this release from Colorado-based F409 features keyboard-based
material, from elegant neo-classical melodies to growling, up-front
pieces reminiscent of Foetus. Includes the popular track
'93 hostess 93'."


GRAE*COM	"Media Sickness" *

electronic noise collages and eerie soundscapes abound in this, the
first cassette release by Pittsburg-based electronic artist.


TRANCE		"Mesmerism" *

featuring a wide range of instrumental works from classic ambient
industrial sounds to droning guitar sludge noise.


VARIOUS ARTISTS	"Wakened By Silence" *

this double-cassette boxed set is a limited edition compilation of
350, featuring pieces by San Francisco-area experimental artists.
the package comes with a thick booklet of art and contact information
and two hours of music by, among others: Tel Basta,
Windowpain Industries, Force, Big City Orchestra, Crawling With Tarts,
Allegory Chapel Ltd, Seemen, Haters, AMK, Trance, Chemical Toybox,
Master/Slave Relationship, Trubo Messiah and Nux Vomica.

...........................................................................

COMPACT DISCS:


HUNTING LODGE	"Carnivoria!"

a short, but loud EP full of fuzzed out, plodding guitar-sludge
sound backed up by an equally disturbing arrangement of heavy
percussion and rhythm.


NOX		"Live at the Manufacture"

France's premiere percussion-guitar group live. ambient swirling
noise instrumentals set the stage for a pounding set of metal
percussion in the great tradition of Test Dept. and heavy guitar
feedback. increadible. 


NOX		"Killin' Drive Power"

honing in on a more guitar-percussion aspect of their craft for
a more unique use of poly-rhythms within the pounding and
energetic music.


TRANCE		"Automatism"

this is the first CD released by Trance and contains a full hour
of material. features three live tracks, the familiar driving
percussion force known to Trance as well as groaning guitar sludge
and pure noise hell. "the listener is treated to a dense audio
nightmare."


VARIOUS ARTISTS	"Arrhythmia"

focusing on percussion and rhythm, this compact disc packs in 70
minutes of music by 15 independant artists. the works range from
festive tribal percussion and eastern rhythms to harsh industrial
noise collages and sounds. featuring pieces by: Muslimguaze,
Dissecting Table, Acandrum, Crash Worship ADRV, Turbo Messiah,
Pain Teens, Chop Shop, Psy231, Trance, Memento Mori, Formula 409,
Iao Core, Bast, Plateau, Master/Slave Relationship


VARIOUS ARTISTS	"Manifestation" (deleted)

this compilation features Houston bands including the Pain Teens
and Gut Logic, combining a variety of sounds from punk to industrial
noise/dance and more. this release is a limited edition of 1000.
currently there are only a few remaining and they are not planning
to repress this one, so get it while you can!


VARIOUS ARTISTS	"Mortar"

a continuous flow of loud guitar sludge to make your ears bleed.
features: Cable Regime, Caspar Broetzmann-Massaker, Cop Shoot Cop,
Fall of Because, Gore/Hoer, Grill and Nox.


VARIOUS ARTISTS	"Music to be Murdered By"

another great comp of loud guitar-rhythm music from the French
label, Permis de Construire. contains contributions from 
Geins'tnait, Laurent Pernice, Sprung Aus Der Volken, Grill, N.L.C,
Dominique Petitgand, Nox, Hanzel & Gretzel, Laurent Petitgand,
60 Etages, Jaggernaut and Pascal Comelade.

OTHER ITEMS:


NOX		"Rut" *

Brand-new 10" EP from this French band.  Four new tracks of
percussive guitar noise.  Truly beautiful music for those who like
rhythms with their distored guitar.


* indicates items that are in short supply; please specify an alternate
selection if possible, in case we happen to run out.

COMING SOON:

   "Flow" -- a cassette by Boston band called URBAN AMBIENCE. imagine
   John Zorn started up a New Age band, but kept up all the erratic
   sqwaking on his sax. really interesting ambient noise textures with
   avant-jazz experimental leanings.

   "Big Wyoming!" -- the latest cassette release by THE EVOLUTION CONTROL
   COMMITTEE. this one is probably more challenging than most, but certainly
   does not lack the humour of the ECC. it can be best described as a kind
   of trip diary.
   
   "Loco (live)" -- the hard to find G*D CD from Permis de Construire.

   "Arrhythmia II" -- another compilation CD of percussion put out by the
   folks at Charnel House Productions. this time focusing on pure drumming,
   assembled by members of Crash Worship and Rhythm & Noise.
