DSL31 Dead Wood / Phantom Heron Seas - Microbes (Limited Edition 45) - £2.50 20 minute zone out of misapplied electronics, amp caressing and microphone licking from the Dirty Demos and Dead Sea Liner honchos. Culled from the many hours of shed based activity at Dirty Demos HQ.

DSL30 Cliff Bastard - Recondite (Limited Edition 60) - £4 Cliff Bastard is the alias of Lee Husher (The Mylar Blackout / Napalese Temple Ball) in isolationist mode. Monochrome blackouts and desolate head spaces are guaranteed. Reminds me of Thomas Koner's better moments but gnarlier and with more meat on the bones. Limited to 60 numbered copies, and individually painted.

DSL29 Abhorrent Beauty & Jan-M Iversen - Momentum (Limited Edition 60) - £4 A beautiful collaborative piece between Abhorrent Beauty, the nom de plume of Rune Martinsen, and the prolific Jan-M Iversen (he of Bjerga/Iversen / TIBprod). Delicately crafted tones and textures that evoke ethereal vapours, abyssal transmissions and insectoid hallucinations. Limited to 60 numbered copies, individually painted with antique photographic portraits.

DSL27 Phantom Heron Seas - The Unkindness Of Ravens - £2 Phase shifting mandolin pulses and and speaker cone manipulations from the resonant bird.

DSL28 Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides Live In Salford (Limited Edition 80) - SOLD OUT REVIEW "ItÕs a hell of an unfastened ride, from the opening prancing wild steed steps of the percussion through gentle almost pastoral moments. The percussive playing of Pascal Nichols is superb, he lays out a real slinky clatter with rhythms solidifying and disappearing all over the shop. The pieceÕs real highlight is a glorious swelling two thirds in, one of those perfectly accidentally perfect moments. Salford, so much to answer for. Or something." Foxy Digitalis

DSL26 Dead Labour Process - People Are The Same All Over (Limited Edition 72) 3"CDR - £3.00 1. Fushwives 2. Subzero Aqua Jazz Hands This is Euan Currie of Muscletusk in solo guise. Using vocals and mutant electronics "Fushwives" sounds like Euan has tapped into an ancient broadcast from outer space to give us a soundtrack for a nature documentary set on Planet Zargus 8. Whilst "Subzero Aqua Jazz Hands" sounds like an underwater 'Pendulum music' performed on Captain Nemo's Nautilus.

DSL25 Gish - Pilfer (Limited Edition 90) - £4.00 1. Hilda Of The White Rage 2. Poy La Standet Gish primarily uses both abused and delicately caressed guitar as his sound source. In "Hilda Of the White Rage" Gish manages to summon the ghost of Sun Ra haunting his rusting deserted mothership. On "Poy La Standet" Gish is joined by Andrew Perry on mic to emit a brisk drone, beautifully recorded and dripping with colour.

DSL24 Max Bellancourt - The Stone Tape (Limited Edition 60) - £3.00 REVIEW Glitchy textures, abstract field recordings and Jules Verne noise combine in a vaguely conceptual album from the elusive French experimentalist Max Bellancourt.

DSL23 Plurals - Half Reality (Limited Edition 60) - SOLD OUT REVIEW Sounds like the ethereal engines that drive the colossal spectral ships that pass in the night. Lured across waves of rainbow tinged drones by distant siren calls.

DSL22 Golden Oaks Three BIllion - Sumptuous Hamper (Limited Edition 50) - SOLD OUT REVIEW Antique clarinet vibrations and flourishes fused with primitive tape loops, guitar and electronics create glorious gold and silver flecked drones as incantations for ancient factories long since succumbed to the majestic oak.

DSL21 Textured Bird Transmission - If clouds of birds descend, do not be alarmed as their wings extend beyond the universe (Limited Edition 30) - SOLD OUT New

DSL20 Textured Bird Transmission - Blazing Animal Faces - SOLD OUT REVIEW Dead Pilot Records "Textured Bird Transmission is a favourite of mine. Densely layered howls and moans, sharp flickering electronics, ghostly found sounds. Almost "doom ambient" in places, though not "heavy" - just very dark and bleak. The closing track however is my favourite as the mood turns from bleak to blissful and we ar treated to a chorus of kaleidoscopic synths. Recommended."

DSL19 Electric Mono River - No Sunlight Down Here - £2.50 REVIEW Live mini-album of mono spectral meditations and caveman incantations from Norwegian supergroup of Sindre Bjerga, Per Gisle GalŒen and Martin Powell.

DSL18 Dead Wood - Harmonic Sector 1-10 - £3.00 REVIEW As Dead Wood, Dirtydemos boss Adam Baker sculpts laptop drones from the simplest of source material. Sine waves are carefully layered and manipulated, and from this simple source material complex sounds and etherial shimmering voices are summoned. Minimal and decorated with glitchy pointillist gestures. This is a warm, visceral and narcotic listen, far removed from the usual releases in this genre.

DSL17 El Heath - A (rather) Dead Sea Liner EP - £3.00 (Limited Edition of 70) REVIEW Ambient Sea shanties and beautiful abyssal drones

DSL16 Combo Recife De Improviso - Untitled#3 - £3.00 REVIEW 2004 vintage jam from this Brazillian free improv outfit featuring Thelmo Cristovam (Acoustic Guitar, Objects, C-Melody Sax), Tulio Falcao (Synthesizer, CD Player, Violin) and Arthur Lacerda (Guitar, Objects, Devices). 75+ minutes of acoustic noise, electro-acoustic drones and free jazz.

DSL15 Textured Bird Transmission - Spectral Doves Of Skeletal Intensity - (Limited Edition of 48 - hand painted covers) - SOLD OUT REVIEW Vital Weekly Review "Following their 'Singing Through Trees' 3" CD on Dirty Demos (see Vital Weekly 592) they return with five new tracks on 'Spectral Doves Of Skeletal Intensity' on their home label Dead Sea Liner. Still we know nothing about this troupe but they continue with some mighty fine ambient music of a darker nature; darker than the previous lot it seems to me. Ringing sounds of endless sustaining guitar, metal sheets or some such, make up these pieces, and this time it has the right length. Five pieces in about thirty five minutes of music that will surely appeal to the likes of Mirror, Ora or Monos. Very nice."

DSL14 Fordell Research Unit - Real Men Drink Horse Milk - £3.00 REVIEW New solo mini album from the mighty Fraser of pjorn72 & linwood flats. 20 minutes of fuzzed out drone and ambient vignettes. Superb stuff.

DSL13 Korperschwache - The Joy of Seppuku - £3.00 REVIEW Korperschwache is in fine form on this new release, this is drone in the best sense of the word. Delve beyond the surface and a multitude of twilight worlds reveal themselves to you, each one danker and merkier than the last. I can only recommend turning this one up loud and allow the music to strip away all your other senses.

DSL12 Black Sparrow - legs heavy with pollen - £3.00 REVIEW Robin (of slow listener and atoms) duets with the great resonant god-bird in the sky. Sounds are pulled from the aether in a glorious dissonance or singing elegant walls of breathtaking beauty.

DSL11 (VxPxC) - Chinatown Nose-Cut - SOLD OUT (Limited Edition of 75 - each with section of antique Los Angeles streetmap) REVIEW This sister piece to (VxPxC)'s "twelve divided by three" and "reticent to manifest" cassettes sees a more electronic slant to their blissful free improv folk sound. A murky psychedelic puddle of Californian sludge peppered with angel dust. Limited Edition of 75.

DSL10 SRX - Vessel - £3.00 REVIEW A beautiful new mini album from Sandra Reignoux as SRX. Sandra doesn't allow musical rules and conventions to stand in the way of producing some of the most evocative and delicate songs and instrumental vignettes I've heard in a long while. The Interplay between Sandra's Nico-esque voice, piano and the tired moaning of her ancient 4-track creates a wonderfully charming release. The primitive recording techniques and the sound of breath on microphone gives the recordings an intimate quality and the sensation of proximity to greatness.

DSL09 Damno Te - Red Rain - £2.50 REVIEW A harsh noise zombie concept album of sorts

DSL08 r.s.r. - Black Box - SOLD OUT REVIEW Dark ambient/drone from the Norwegian dronemeister - monochrome nightmares guaranteed

DSL07 Mutant Ape - Worlds Collide - £2.50 REVIEW Harsh noise of the walls variety. Disorienting stuff.

DSL06 The Dead Sea Liner Sports Day - SOLD OUT REVIEW Fordell Research Unit - The Bleeding Nun Bjerga/Iversen - Buzzfield Horse Palace - Laxativitalitude Textured Bird Transmission - Carousel Manchurian Fog - The Distanced Creature/Thunder Of Love King Razor - Chronology Of Chance (Part 2) Dead Wood - Untitled Cel - Vilolin Another Enough Chairs - Slow Speak Nackt Insecten - Finest Strand, Dying Sun r.s.r. - Red Circle Strap The Button - Mystery Song

DSL05 bjerga / iversen - In broken dreams the world still keeps turning - £2.50 REVIEW A great slice of industrial ambience from the Norwegian duo - walls of drone improv and inteference cut through with robot birdsong.

DSL04 Thirdorgan - Satanico Pandemonium - SOLD OUT REVIEW Aural Pressure: "Witness the cut and paste of some Japanese pop group being pulled kicking and screaming through a mangle. Experience the 22 minute noise holocaust that constitutes the third track and try regaining your composure after that fucker. Hear this man deconstruct music and rebuild it as an aural nightmare given flesh. The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum. Yet one canât help but kind of appreciate all the effort put into producing music that is so far off the scale of normality that it flies in the face of all conventional reason. I mean... who in their right mind could get off on this stuff? Well I could... and did... for starters. "Satanico Pandemoniumâ is a gas. A blast. A fucked up piece of work that doesn't take itself seriously. No gung ho political or sexual rhetoric to be found on this little beauty. Just plain old noise workouts for the sake of it. For the sheer hell of it"

DSL03 another enough chairs - bring that voice to the state - SOLD OUT REVIEW Bloodties webzine "This most closely reminds me of the difference between bands like Avarus, the Finnish purveyors of noisy free psych folk and darker quieter projects such as Uton of which I am also a fan..........The last trackÕs noisier quality brings it a bit closer to the likes of Skullflower but there are times when the drones pull back to let reverberating percussion float throughout the space. Overall a good solid listen, this could almost be trendy material now as this psych free folk stuff seems to be getting very big nowadays but this is still very experimental and noisy with enough industrial flavor to appeal to fans of the harsher stuff as well."

DSL02 cel - fugitive angle - £2.50 REVIEW Bloodties webzine "At 31 minutes the album passes by quickly especially due to its hypnotic nature. Track 2 is the strongest material on here with droning lo-fi feedback that meanders into the experimental realm a bit only to lead into reverberating drones towards the end. This is the perfect example of Òlo-fiÓ charm. The drones are continued into track 3 where some elements are mixed well and really help the drone surround you. ItÕs nice to see some attention paid to mixing techniques because this is something that is very often neglected in most lo-fi endeavors. If you are a fan of newer Horse Head, Flying Saucer Attack, Cold Electric Fire, or even Fennesz or the like, check this out. It will make for great night-driving music"

DSL01 textured bird transmission - purple weighted pellets of despair - £2.50 REVIEW The One True Dead Angel webzine "The album is one long piece that unfolds over nearly thirty minutes, like a series of icebreakers crawling slowly through deeper and thicker slabs of ice as they creep up on the mother of all glaciers. I don't know what it is they're doing or how they're getting their "motive power" (I'm guessing lots of powerful drugs, but I'll freely admit that is purely conjecture), but whatever it is, they're doing it right and we need more of it. I'll bet when they send off the flies that have been swatted, this is the music they play at the funerals."
