DAGDA MOR
"The Border of the Light"
FUNCTIONAL 010-2 CD $12.75
The long-awaited first full-length release from this extremely dark, mystical German goth-noise-ambient project. Not some lightweight casio ditties, mind you, these pulsating drones, otherworldly rings, waves of distortion, and menacing processed vocals really are quite chilling. This CD contains live tracks, unreleased new studio tracks, one track based on WAGNER's "Rheingold," and one track from the "Heriot" cassette.

DS 003-1 LP $10.00
DS 003-2 CD $11.00
With an arsenal ranging from barking baritone sax and clarinet, to eerily winding flute and melodica, THE DAKTARIS' nation of horns pumps out an encyclopedia of dark, enormous African melodies over an ocean of pounding funk syncopations, straight FELA style. So raw and nasty in its unique delivery of Afro-funk, that after just one listen you are left fat'n'smiley with funk. (DESCO)
DALHART IMPERIALS, THE
"Western Hits"
SHAKE 711-7 7" $4.15
These boys do it up right, a little JOHNNY HORTON mixed with the likes of BOB WILLS & HANK THOMSON! The national rockabilly scene is already hip to the DALHARTS due to bassist Kurt Ohlen's hosting of the Annual Denver Rock N' Rhythm-Billy Weekend, and the alt.country scene is catching on thanks to articles in such magazines as NO DEPRESSION. This single, their best yet, includes four new original cuts of rockabilly/western swing. (SHAKE IT)

PRANK 030-2 CD $9.00
A thundering destructo-core hybrid of SABBATH, death metal, southern rock and punk crust.

Their 2nd album. (PRANK)
DAMAD

PRANK 011-1 LP $8.00
PRANK 011-2 CD $9.00
Treading and stomping all over and between the lines of metal, rock, punk and the occasional gothic, crusty, eerie diversions, while remaining lyrically very punk, this Savannah band combines hoarse vocals, intricate but not overbearing guitar riffage and harsh noise samples in the vein of Neurosis, Integrity or Buzzov-en. (PRANK)

DAN MELCHIOR
"Instant Love"
SMART 005-7 7" $4.00
It's Dan and his acoustic guitar, alone in his tile bathroom (nice echo) with a cheap tape deck, doing two raw, swamp-infested Delta blues tunes, including a cover of Robert Wilkins' 1929 classic "That's No Way to Get Along," both with style and finesse. With its rough-looking silkscreen cover, this is as good a homemade, DIY statement as you're gonna find. (SMART GUY)

ITR 083-2 CD $11.30

DANIEL MENCHE
"Vulgar Scratch"
GLKDM 01-7 7" $4.55
Play this at any speed, and you get totally different impressions. Not hard noise this time, but mysterious abrasive, stretching sounds, very simply processed but a fascinating sound experiment. The sleeve is fancy handmade paper with embedded bark fibers. (GENDER-LESS KIBBUTZ)
DANIEL MENCHE / NEPENTHE
"Split EP"
ERR 001-7 7" $4.55
Two distinct personnas of the well-oiled noise beast. Menche's hyena is back and pissed, wreaking no quiet havoc on ceramic bowls and effects to create an oppressive, swirling atmosphere.

With a little help from his friends, the Los Angeles percussionist/composer performs several strange, whimsical, and very inventive pieces combining tapes, jug, optigan, guitars, keyboards, flute, autoharp, voice, clarinet, trumpet, and any number of percussion instruments.

(RRR)
DARK ARTS
"Something Once Whispered to Cava"

DARREN BROWN
"El Asiento"
SA 70-7 7" $4.55
One of the folks from Impact Test with a heavy-ish murk sort of in the same vein as Scorn, but this has a piano so maybe not. The flip busts a move into the lucrative rhythym oriented market. (STOMACH ACHE)

DAVID FIRST
"The Good Book's (Accurate) Jail of Escape Dust Coordinates"
OO 23-2 CD $11.70
Not easy listening, or easy anything. Hard, strong, and starkly beautiful, spinning, careening and flying into a dervish of tone and vibrational resonance. Long, microscopically detailed crescendo and metamorphosis; microtones, hair-raising pitch-bending and scintillating rhythms. (O.O. DISCS)
DAVID FULTON
"Like Chignik"
DOSSIER 7519-1 LP $10.10
Some red, white & blue translation of P16.D4's utter sonic insanity, played by an all-star cast of avant characters: ELLIOT SHARP, WAYNE HORVITZ (NAKED CITY), ROBERT PREVITE, DAVID HOFSTRA, and FULTON.

DAVID SCHAFER
"x10R"
TR 0107-2 2xCD $12.45
For a truly mind-numbing effect, Shafer plays 10 easy listening records at the same time, interweaving them so that parts drift in and out of prominence. It's like being lost in a sea of violins, woodwinds and pianos. Each of the 2 CDs is one long track. (TRANSPARENCY)

"Angels Dancing in Virga"
BRD 028-2 CD $11.30
The Backbone (short for "feedback trombone") is the invention of Dave Tohir and Scott Vance, both members of Anything Goes Orchestra. Its sound mixes the unpredictable noisyness of guitar feedback with the range and slipperyness of the trombone; bizarre, unearthly, sometimes downright ugly.

DEMETRIO STRATOS
"Metrodora"
GET 5206-1 LP $12.55
The late, Egyptian-born DEMETRIO STRATOS was one of the most unusual and extreme vocalists ever to record, and this 1976 album, reflecting work he was doing with JOHN CAGE at the time, proves it. Seven compositions free his unbelievably skilled voice of every restraint. Screeches, screams, yodels and other instances of vocal chords stretched to the limit alternate and collide with tones you would swear are instruments, but aren't. Solo voice, overdubbed voices, occasional synthesizer blips contribute to the indescribable strangeness. Original artwork, 180 gram audiophile vinyl, Italian import. (GET BACK)

RTD 195.1914-2 CD $11.40
The eighth album from this German instrumental rock quartet, featuring guest vocals by Blixa Bargeld and Alex Hacke, among others.

DIESEL QUEENS
"Double Chins are Go!"
MRR 011-7 7" $4.00
The final chapter from this aging San Jose punk band. These guys date back to the early hardcore days, combining catchy hooks with powerful, driving music, but their trrademark has been retarded lyrics and a wild stage show. Three songs in praise of double chins, fucking shit up at shows, and a banjo headed boy. (MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL)
DIESEL QUEENS

ACM 608-2 CD $10.70

Their punk abandon mixed with incredible musical ability obviously impressed Link, and it's these traits that set DIESELHED apart from the rest of the alternative country crowd. Melodic balladeering with traditional elements brushes up against the surreal and musically progressive for a sound that's uniquely theirs. (AMARILLO)

BA 1132-2 CD $10.80
Along with the mighty AVENGERS, the awesome DILS were at the top of San Francisco's punk heap in the late 1970s (they tended to alternate headline positions when they frequently played on the same bill).

DIRTYS, THE
"You Should Be Sinnin"
CR 086-2 CD $10.20
The DIRTYS are decadent hyperfreaks who burn it all with their twin-guitar frenzy and blasphemous rock'n'roll mayhem. Legend has it that while deep in contemplation the DIRTYS were beckoned by a hovering baby blue '62 Cadillac, which they interpreted to be CHUCK BERRY commanding them to lead a R'n'R revival. Oaths were taken. Beer and cocaine were acquired. Lusting teenagers were stockpiled. Once Mick Collins arrived and hit the pause button, the ass-kicking had begun. (CRYPT)

CRYPT 067-2 CD $10.20
This masterful new Schallplatten is the product of 2 young Hamburgers, Susie and Tanktop, and ex-patriot Bob Tooke. Mashing out the finest roots Americana slop you're likely to hear, their repertoire consists of a great blend of cajun, tex-mex, instro scree, C&W yawl, Louisiana swamp R&B, rockabill, and whatever the fuck they feel like at the time! Ref points to familiarize those of you who insist on tags: early Panther Burns wrestling with a more inbred version of 68 Comeback or even Southern Culture On The Skids, minus the overtly "camp" touch. Their goal: to be the modern purveyors of the famed Eddie Shuler Goldband label sound. (CRYPT)

DONALD KNAACK
"Dance Music"
RRRCD 16-2 CD $11.60
Well, yes and no.

(RRR)

Another classic album from BILL McCRACKIN, but with a more aggressive edge than we've heard before. With Bill being responsible only for music and backing vocals, frontman Dan Kristensen carries the lyrical weight on his shoulders, and boy does he deliver. McRACKIN's power punch might shock a few people. While sticking to his pop punk roots, he mixes in a RnR, almost melodic hardcore sound that should have all the McRACKIN fans freaking out!

Dirty, ass licking, young girl fucking pop/early style rock and roll with a punk attitude and tons of rough edges, like the immortal EXPLOSIVE KATE but with a T-REX songwriting slant, a tackling of different genres that I haven't seen with a tongue going in and out of cheek this quickly since SOCKEYE, and beautiful execution.

Picture '60s Euro-beat music, done up ultra-frantic, 1000 miles per hour. Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and the like, as seen through the eyes of mid-'60s Euro-teen bands like Casey Jones & The Governors, The Boots, or The Rattles, on a coffee overdose that borders on debilitating panic attack. Members include Thilo from the (German) Astronauts (and Pin Up Records head), Rusty Quan from The Mummies, Phantom Surfers, Bobbyteens, Count Backwurds, etc., and Shannon Smith from the Astronauts, Vulcaneers and Latter Day Saints.

THEMES 5-7 7" $4.00
DumDum TV is a group of Japanese media collage/cutup artists, sometimes a bit like Violent Onsen Geisha except that they rely totally on crazym chaotic sound clips lifted from TV and never engage in harsh noise.

"I Can Hear Music"
BRCD 029-2 CD $11.30

DUOTRON
"Vs. Tom Smith"
MPK 7006-1 LP $10.00
Jodie and Rikkeh deliver a 1-2 sonic punch to the solar plexus of To Live & Shave's Tom Smith on side 1. Stumbling drums, chattering guitar, and vocals that would sound great from your average toddler. Tom takes his revenge on side 2, pulling it all apart and putting it back together under his own dire design. As they say, a battle to to the death but for it. (MENLO PARK)

"EXP"
CH 24-2 CD $13.65
