Other: Refund 'Hill' & 'Gem'

Refund is Melbourne electronic musician/artist Matt Refund. Seems Matt has been recording a bit of late and has served up some goodness via Soundcloud. Breakcore? Noise? IDM? Modular Synth Worship? We'll leave that up to you.

Other: Moffarfarrah on Whiteness and Pinkness

One of Sabbatical's early releases (Little More - SBBTCL002) was of Melbourne's Christopher L G Hill's vocal based project 'Moffarfarrah' (and its myriad of various spellings). This project has a new C45 release on the Whiteness and Pinkness label entitled Primo. With a tip to the hat to the 90's Compact Disc fad of 'secret tracks', this cassette release revives this gimmick in the analogue format with these two tracks. Sorry if we just ruined it for you.

For those who missed out on the Sabbatical release here is a taste from one of its 76 tracks.

Other: Von Einem on Mazurka Editions

2 tracks from Sabbatical co-founder Mark Groves' frightening Von Einem project released by Mazurka Editions.

Trade stock: South Saturn Delta 'Experience The Concreteness' (Cold Spring Records)

For this week's trade box selection we've got the psych-noise live album from South Saturn Delta from Cold Spring Records.

Something of a Japanese supergroup, South Saturn Delta bring together the iconic Maso Yamazaki (Masonna) with with Hiroshi Hasegawa (C.C.C.C. and Astro)—with an appearance from drummer Nobuko Emi on 'Rocket Incantation'.

These are all live recordings, collected between 2003 and 2005, which lends an aggressively primitive feel to proceedings. It's a great head cleaner.

We've got two copies left.
