more about this release... CAM021CD - "Mystic River Sound" by Abunai!
Conceived as a shape-shifting, battle-of-the-bands mock-compilation, with all parts played by our intrepid Bostonian foursome, Abunai's second long-player extends the Krautrock-meets-noise-folk-meets-space-pop mix of the acclaimed "Universal Mind Decoder" even further to form a veritable encyclopaedia of guitar bliss directions and neo-psychedelic coolness. Our pick: their version of "Barbara Allen", which traverses the landscape of tradition like a demon twister

More about this release... CAM023CD - "In the Mind's Eye of a Blind Tasaday" by Gentle Tasaday.
This side project from Salamander guitarist Erik Wivinus and collaborator Eric Hofferber offers striking post-industrial acid folk pre-figuring a plethora of possible apocalypses. If reference points are needed, think Organum, Nurse With Wound and Current 93 on one side of the Atlantic and Mourning Cloak/Stone Breath on the other. [More]

More about this release... CAM024CD - "Things Make Patterns as They Fall" by the Vortex Navigation Company. Our second Salamander spin-off project, this is Salamander singer-guitarist Sean Connaughty's other band, in conjunction with guitarist Wes Morden and a rotating group of instrumentalists on percussion, bass and keys. Expansive improvisations and dark folk, not a million miles away from Salamander, but pushing further into the swirling cloud formations of sky-trance improvised drone rock on one axis, and deeper into dark backwoods folk on the other. [More] (US$15.00 shipped anywhere)
More about this release... CAM025-28CD - The "Melancholy Sun" Box Set by Jeff Kelly. 

A long over due re-issue programme of the Green Pajamas main man's solo work.
A four CD box set containing three releases originally done on cassette by the Green Monkey label, "Coffee in Nepal" (1987), "Portugal" (1990), and "Private Electrical Storm" (1992) all with extra tracks, and one recent unreleased solo project "The Rosary and the House of Jade". It is very simply packaged in a AMPEX 5" reel box with 24 page booklet. [More] This release is sold out at source with no repressing plans.
More about this release... CAM031CD - "Whirlaway" by The Tadpoles.
4th studio album from these now disbanded New Jersey psyche-rockers. Six-string worship that is melodic, expansive and huge rock fun, pretty much like the last three albums in that regard, but quite a few tripped-out tracks in the 7-10 minute region. Also an exercise in backs-to-the-wall collaboration between us and the band's own label Bakery Records. [More]

More about this release... CAM032CD - "Universe I've Got" by Primordial Undermind.
Much more accessible than previous releases, "Universe I've Got" paints giant riffs and multiple intertwining guitars and violin explorations on a huge psychedelic art rock canvas. Lots of long involving tracks, with a cumulative impact on your skull akin to the splash you might expect from an angry god hurling a burning asteroid into a boiling ocean. We're excited. [More]

More about this release... CAM033CD - "Sky Pilot" by the Black Sun Ensemble. 
"Sky Pilot" was an emphatic return to form for legendary guiterrorist Jesus Acedo and his band, Black Sun Ensemble. 25 minutes of new material in the form of the acoustic "Sky Pilot Suite" leads into a complex re-mix and remaster of the tracks from the abortive 1994 CD "Psycho Master El". 70 minutes of totally zoned acid folk and rock that scorches the Arizona desert sands into a plain of volcanic glass. [More This release is sold out at source with no repressing plans.
