Absolutely stunning psych for fans of Hawkwind, Can, Pink Fairies, Acid Mothers Temple and brain damage in general."

Title:	Plastic Crimewave Sound
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	MVDA 4818CD

Originally an LP from Eclipse Records. "New release on CD from the masters of American psych punk. This one finds Chicago's Plastic Crimewave Sound taking a more song oriented take on psychedelia after their double album adventure, No Wonderland. Mind burning guitars mix with throbbing bass and a propulsive drummer. A very 21st century mix of psych, krautrock, acid folk and prog rock that pushes all of those genres forward in technicolor."

Title:	Sonic Portation
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	MVDA 4819CD

"Back in the early '70s a curious group owned and operated a health food restaurant in Los Angles. The Source Family was a religious group of young people centered around the father figure of Father Yod, a WWII flying ace and spiritual searcher. This group of young people also performed improvisational music backing Father Yod under the name Yahowa 13. When Father Yod died in a hang gliding accident in 1975, the group dispersed. In 2007, with the publishing of a book about the Source Family, the original Yahowa 13 reunited for some shows and did some studio recordings. These are the long awaited results, the first studio recordings in over 30 years by Yahowa 13! Original members Djin, Octavius and Sunflower jam out like the ensuing years never happened. Incredible improv pieces with mind melting guitar and the psychedelic low end throb that all Yod fans will immediately recognize. Literally, the best reunion album of all time!"

Title:	Hot Rattlesnakes
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	PM 001CD

Reissue of a classic Acid Mothers Temple-related CD from 2002, originally released on Trevor Manwaring's Paratactile label in the UK. "Pressed in a limited quantity in the UK, it sold out almost immediately and currently commands high prices on ebay and is whispered about in hushed tones from those who have actually heard it. Guitarist Kawabata Makoto brings along Acid Mothers Temple cohorts Tsuyama Atsushi (Zoffy, Omoide Hatoba) and Ichiraku Yoshimitsu for one of the most out there power trio recordings ever. While certainly close to Acid Mothers Temple in sound and feeling, Hot Rattlesnakes certainly exists in its own little corner of the Acid Mothers Temple galaxy."

Title:	Are We Experimental?
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	PM 003CD

"Japan's Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO return from the cosmos with this brand new album, Are We Experimental? The world's premier psychedelic warriors have blasted out an album that distills their weird world into 11 tracks of sonic mayhem. Hawkwind style guitar overload meets ethnic folk music from around the globe as a UFO crashes in the midst of it all. Are We Experimental? (a la Jimi Hendrix) is one of the easiest AMT albums for a new fan to digest. All of the songs clock in under 8 minutes (this, from a band known for 30+ minute jams!) and feature all of the realms of sound AMT utilize regularly as well as new influences and techniques for the old heads. Prog rock meets Sun Ra style freedom mixed in with space noises and absolutely leveling guitar riffs. Plus a whole bunch of submerged weirdness and 'acid folk' that can only come from Acid Mothers Temple. God and Hair, indeed."

Artist:	SERPENT THRONE
Title:	White Summer - Black Winter
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	LP
Price:	$28.00
Catalog #:	PM 1103LP

"Third release from fiery, swaggering, visceral instro metal rockers. Limited pressing of 500 in deluxe case wrap gatefold on black and blue vinyl. 'Say there was a heavy rock festival in like '72 where Black Sabbath, Wishbone Ash, the Scorpions, Budgie, and like Cactus are supposed to play, but then, due to a series of plane crashes and natural disasters, only 1 surviving member from each band can make it. In order to calm down the crowd of heavy rockers, Iommi grabs a couple dudes from the other bands and puts together an emergency band. And then Uli Roth says, 'We don't need a singer because he'll just get in the way of the riffs.' I think that's what Serpent Throne is aiming for. Whether we get there or not is another story, but we'll drink some beer and rip some guitar harmonies along the way.'"

Artist:	KOHOUTEK
Title:	Lossless Loss
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	PM 9990LP

"LosslessLoss, the second studio album from Mid-Atlantic improv collective Kohoutek, covers most of the dynamic stylistic range Kohoutek is known for: abstract and textural sound, atmospheric rock, harsh noise freakouts, clattering percussion, guitar heroics, and alien electronics congealing to form a multihued psychedelic extravaganza. Recorded deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia in September 2007, the five members embarked on a psilocybic twilight journey, and this 44-minute aural excursion is the result. No overdubs and minimal editing create an experience as close as possible to a Kohoutek performance. With longtime core members Scott Verrastro (percussion, flute), Craig Garrett (bass) and Scott Allison (electronics) augmented by Vic Salazar (electric guitar) and Damian Languell (vocals, harmonica, clarinet, didgeridoo, Space Echo), Kohoutek forge their own path in the improv universe, and Lossless Loss is another burning fragment of this fleeting sonic comet." White & orange-colored vinyl housed in a deluxe, full-color gatefold sleeve.

Gatefold LP version; limited, numbered edition of 500 copies on far out blue and white-swirled interdimensional-colored vinyl. "If Oliver Stone decided to make another movie featuring the psychedelic period of the late sixties, Sonic Portation would be the perfect soundtrack" -- Marc Roy, Proggnosis
"...say turn it up loud, close your eyes, and feel the divinity of sound itself." -- Todd Zacharitz, Goatsden
"Seldom has 'religious' music sounded so simultaneously earthy, spacy, guttural and evil. This sure ain't the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.' " -- LA Weekly

Artist:	JANINA ANGEL BATH
Title:	Gypsy Woman
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	PM 9992CD

2009 release. "This is the music of Now...potent magic of unspecific era and dimension...the Love child of Eastern-tinged folk Raga roots meeting the lysergic depth of psychedelic free jazz only to arrive at its own unique voice...as iconoclastic as it is immersed in tradition, spontaneous as it is rehearsed, ephemeral as it is eternal. And that voice belongs to Janina Angel Bath, who is that rare breed of magician -- a sonic high priestess who resonates with her place in the spotlight as if it were her own personal ziggurat. Time bends under the trance of her musical spell; from the swell of nomadic chants to flights of fantasy lore to ancient cries of goddess invocation -- she effortlessly radiates...with unequivocal grace, passion and mysticism; illuminating scenic tours not only thru the effervescent haze of the subconscious mind, but also spiraling aural trips upon whirling astral spheres." --Joe Niem

"Acid Mothers Temple main man Kawabata Makoto links up with LSD March guitarist Michishita Shinsuke to create another amazing platter of fantastic sounds and vibes. Maru Sankaku Shikaku (Circle Triangle Square) finds the duo moving on from the electric guitars of their previous duo releases to an all acoustic album featuring ethnic instruments from around the globe. Two side long pieces mesh drone music with an ebb and a flow usually found on soundtracks or the soundtrack in one's head.

Artist:	DARK SEA DREAM
Title:	Dark Sea Dream
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PM 9994CD

"Crushingly loud, shimmering distortion and harmonics. Dark Sea Dream was created in fall 2007 and have performed steadily since throughout the greater Potomac Valley area and beyond. The DC-based four piece ride crashing waves of Tesla-coil fused white noise to unpredictable conclusions, particularly since their noise isn't paralyzing like the typical avant-garde noise rock band: it is translucent, glimmering, and beautiful. For fans of Sonic Youth, The Dead C., Sun Ra, Yahowha 13, Xasthur, etc. Kinda like you always wanted those 'shoegaze' bands to sound like, but they were always too wimpy!"

Artist:	NOTEKILLERS
Title:	We're Here To Help
Label:	PROPHASE MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PM 9995CD

"The Notekillers, who originally slugged it out during the punk wars of the late 1970s, continue their improbable reincarnation march with this barely-hinged celebration of rock & roll noise. Woefully under-documented back in the day, their only official recording -- The Zipper, a self-released 7" -- was a favorite amongst the cognoscenti in the experimental underground and a secret influence on some of the most important avant-bands of the past 30 years. Now, following an acclaimed archival release on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label, the Notekillers complete their leap out of the shadows and land solidly in the present with We're Here to Help -- a brand new LP with material developed exclusively during their second life. This is the CD version which includes a bonus track not found on the vinyl. Rich with tuneful, neck-snapping hooks that explode at any and all times, this album will connect deeply with anyone who lives for the dizzying, defibrillating power of positive audio aggression."
