Siltbreeze LPs always seemed to be surface noise-y straight from the plant.
-- Tim Ellison (timejeanne...), September 27th, 2004. (later)

That's kind of interesting cause I got hold of 'clyma est mort' LP, I should compare it to a siltbreeze CD sometime, listening to both back-to-back. It wouldn't surprise me if there was an added on effect, if that is what you're saying.

i've been really liking tower recordings "furniture music for evening shuttles" the past few days. i put it on circa5am when i was going to bed, quite drunk and stoned, after parties on friday night. it starts very strong and ends very strong; a few tracks towards teh end of the first third of the record drag.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Monday, 27 September 2004 21:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Julio, no, I just remember hearing this same defective crackling in one channel on numerous Siltbreeze LPs. It wasn't horribly noisy or anything.

mv & ee medicine show 'moon jook' lp version (records - r8)
limited edition vinyl release of the beautiful release made specially for last spring's gladtree festival in amherst.

I wonder if this is ever gonna come out?

― Ian John50n (orion), Saturday, 12 March 2005 18:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Don't forget The Yips, my fave SB band.

whatever happened to greg chapman? i loved the reviews in Ugly American. He was #1 Bunnybrains fan with a bullet. Is the woozlebug thing new?
-- scott seward (skotro...), September 27th, 2004.

Scott, I was a writer/editor at Ugly American from '88 - '95. Glad to see there's still some love left for that obscure print age dinosaur.

Greg unfortunately suffered a pretty bad brain aneurysm/stroke back around '97. After he recovered, J. Marlowe helped him publish the last few Ugly Americans, with Greg's contributions gradually diminishing. The final issue is as long as the New Testament and it nearly sent Marlowe around the bend. It's a hell of a read, though.

Last time I talked to Greg was around 2001, when the Frown CD came out (Greg played guitar, and Davo from the Bunnybrains engineered it). I should probably check in to see how he's doing.

― Edward III (edward iii), Monday, 9 January 2006 17:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Siltbreeze is back, btw. Not sure what his plans are in terms of releases but I think he's reissuing the Mike Rep and Quotas "Stupor Haitus" on CD (first time for that). The first new Siltbreeze release, and the first from Times New Viking, didn't do much for me though.

― TRG (TRG), Monday, 9 January 2006 17:42 (eighteen years ago) link

jeez, i didn't know that about Greg. That's truly sad. And Davo! Oy! I have nothing but good things to say about him. Wotta freak! this thread really is friggin' memory lane.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 9 January 2006 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I dig the Times New Viking record! It's sloppy and catchy.

― mcd (mcd), Monday, 9 January 2006 18:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I really regret selling my copy of the Queen Meanie Puss 7".

The UN 7" was great, didn't go for the record as much.

Sebadoh, GVB, Harry Pussy, Dead C, Charalambides, Galbraith all great, obv. Also V3 7" (another one I miss), probably other stuff.

― sleeve (sleeve), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 03:48 (eighteen years ago) link

shadow ring
charalambides
dead c

three of my favorite bands.
plus plenty of others just short of that peak. great label. i will buy most things on siltbreeze if given the chance.

Strapping Field Hands need more love, prob my fav on SB. And Mike Rep.

― TRG (TRG), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:28 (eighteen years ago) link

feel free to add more love here, trg! :

This Is The Strapping Fieldhands Thread Cuz I'm Drinking Beers And Feeling Nostalgic

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i have not heard the strapping fieldhands records. would i like em, scott?

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 21:52 (eighteen years ago) link

i hope so! but you never know. i think they were amazing. try the singles comp first. it's all over the place. they were pals of mine though, so, maybe i'm biased.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:00 (eighteen years ago) link

you totally would!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw them, at the Cooler. Maybe opening for TFUL 282?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:07 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean ya got jack cole, dan bunny, me, stormy, and others raving about them...

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:19 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i should keep a lookout for there records.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:36 (eighteen years ago) link

The Strapping Fieldhands were just great, lo-fi folk-pop with a heaping dose of weirdness. The In the Pineys 10" as well as the Discus LP are must-haves. They were really into the whole Jersey Devil/Gypsies roaming central Jersey folklore.

― QuantumNoise (Justin Farrar), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 23:38 (eighteen years ago) link

i'd recommend in this order (and they're all great!)-
the singles comp 'gobs on the midway'
discus
in the pineys

discus isn't in print, is it? was it ever on cd? i didn't like 'wattle and daub' quite as much, maybe it's time to revisit it.

― TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:51 (eighteen years ago) link

i listened to Wattle & Daub a TON last year. I liked it a lot when it came out, but I love it now. I love the sound they got on it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 01:33 (eighteen years ago) link

discus!

New times new viking new album LOOKS great over at midheaven site. Siltbreeze website doesn't announce it yet for some reason (could it be rumored signing with a major indie)?

― runmynewlogin (runmynewlogin), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

i think they signed to matador, there was a thread abt it a while back

― M@tt He1g3s0n: oh u mad cuz im stylin on u (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

matador doesn't have anything to do with "presents the paisley reich," it's coming out on siltbreeze.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

oh okay but then the next one is on matador i guess:

― M@tt He1g3s0n: oh u mad cuz im stylin on u (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

yep.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Weird.

The girl in this band is foxy and they're pretty good live.

Also, "...presents the paisley reich' is a great title.

Matador should sign Blues Control.

― David Roback Cube (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

rog you know russ used to work here, right?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Of course! Russ and I go way back.

Anyway, all the more reason to do a Blues Control LP.

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

well there are supposed to be 2 bc lps this year (?) already, i think.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

wierd - TNV on Matador? Last year someone I know who knows them said they were signing to SubPop and it was all wrapped up.

What's Blues Control like?

― runmynewlogin (runmynewlogin), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

rummy, judging by your email address you'd love them

stence - yeah, fuck it tapes is doing one and holy mountain i think is doing the other. two good dudes behind those two labels

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah i'm stoked on both releases. blues control music here: myspace.com/bluescontrol.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i am in extreme anticipation of the Pink Reason LP

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link
