SRJ - And The There Was One. CD-R. June 2008 ( FCD09) (ltd. 100)

Proud to announce the release of this new album recorded in three totally improvised, short and seriously crazy sessions with old friend out the woodwork Steve Frizby on mind blowing electric guitar and his new partner Roz with the vocal transmitting of other realities as as well as her beautiful interpretation of this one. I play guitar, percussion, voice and a bit of clarinet. We are very proud of the collection of sounds and amazed at the spontaneity and synergy of our coming together musically and sonically. I hope you get to hear it! Free download on request (inc. artwork) or CD-R £3. Ask and ye shall receive. It is art for enjoyment. ; ).

The Tajalli Vortex - Sound Paint. CD-R. 10th June 2007 (FCD08) (ltd.100)

Live at Klinker Club, London on 7th June & Warrington Pyramid Hall on 12th May 2007. These two hugely gratifying sets contain some great live noise and promise to take you on various dizzying journeys into the musical vortex of the Tajallis. In London the group were joined for the latter section by renowned electronic duo Raagnagrok adding even more sonic boomshanka to the heady live output. Drawing on a huge range of experience and influences, the various members of this collective, are together nuking the boundaries of genre, displaying little or no regard to convention resulting in something that can only be described as a kind of space-punk-free-improv... Screwed up yet beautiful female vocal mix with loud twisted synths while heavily processed and funky bass guitar scraps with percussive tribal insanity and searing saxophones. It seems there is little this unit wouldn't try out as their no holds barred live free noise hits the fan which they appear to have created (the vortex?). Very little planning, if any, goes into a Vortex gig and you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise as the group drive their sonic ship with total conviction, exuding powerful moods, loud driving beats and deep, hypnotic movements to which there can only be surrender. The Vortex awaits you!

The Tajalli Vortex - The Tajalli Vortex. CD. 26th April 2007 (FCD07) (ltd.200)

Well worth the wait for the newest Freenoise addition. Limited to only 200, this 75 minute 'white knuckle ride into the severest improvisations' are highlights recorded 'in the earth' entirely live at sessions over the '06-'07 winter months. TTV are a newish five piece group of established and energetic free-musicians whose influences include punk, free-improv and jazz, psychedelic rock and krautrock, standing at the forefront of the new-experimental wave in the renowned musical city of Sheffield, UK.
Eerie and atmospheric female and male vocals, deep sythn, percussion, bass and reed noises gradually rise to kinetic and howling psycho-rock slightly remenisscent of a Velvets / Hawkwind / Throbbing Gristle crossover! Very exciting and at times uneasy listening - certainly difficult to take in one sitting unless of course you're prepared for a long trip! Includes guest appearance from Martin Archer - sopranino saxophone. Pioneering in the UK free noise movement the Vortex have taken the most extreme free music ever and filed it away under history. They have found The Art. On 26th April 2007 in Sheffield the group performed a historic gig with Damo Suzuki (Can) and improv collective Gated Community. The gig set a precedent for outer limits of free music..

Ashtray Navigations - Dirt Mummies and Bloody Amps. 12" Vinyl (ltd.200) July 2006

First full-length vinyl release from Phil Todd in a dog’s age collects a bucket of totally great duo and trio moves (featuring Phil Legard and Mel Delaney) recorded Dec 2005-Mar 2006 that combine totally wiped-out modally-inflected metal with throats full of magnetic tone, light-blurred angel vox and shots of pure white flash for some fully illuminated candyfloss ritual. . ..now that their existence is no longer primarily subterranean they (Ashtray Navigations) do making fucking great psych/rock power blues and this is another thrilling instalment. Limited to only 200 copies in stuck-on handmade sleeves. Highly recommended. - Volcanic Tongue

Thee Free - 'Welcome to Liberty City' (FCD06) CD-R (ltd.50). Out 23 Jan 07

The most inventive and progressive album so far from Thee Free. At times imaginative and always very free, even when soaked in (sporadic) heavy rhythms or walls of harsh noise. Mangled radio output and voice samples blend with abusive storms of coloured noise, drums, clarinet, flutes and heavy electric guitars make twisted and psychedelic appearances. Certain tracks show how the total (sometimes very gradual) deterioration of a 'tune' can amount to something just as, if not more, engaging. We are also offered hope from the words of a yogi in the midst of this warped sonic landscape during 'Juice Bug'... 'Coily' was recorded on the day of the announcement of Coil artist Johnn Balance's passing. The album title is in tribute to Mark Stewart and the Mafia's track 'Liberty City', appearing on 'Learning to Cope with Cowardice', a hugely significant album of the early eighties, musically and otherwise.
Seven lengthy tracks (56 mins total) from the archives of 2006 TF's sessions; stimulating and truly experimental, resulting in a powerful underground album.

Thee Free - An Area Full of Meat. (FCD05) CD-R (ltd. 50). Released 21st Aug 06

Ultra bizarre free noise freak out ritual recorded entirely in one live and drunken solo cathartic session underground (the Freenoise basement). Voodoo drumming, percussion, harsh electric scuzz, rats, strings, vocals-in-tongues, iron bed, whistles and whips. No frills. 50 only. Buy at your own risk.

Turbo Geek: Assourdissant (FCD004) (ltd. 50) Released 13.3.06.


Extremely loud kid-mayhem! Very rare - 50 only. Turbo Geek (a.k.a. David Smith) is a 16 year old eccentric noise-child prodigy who sites extremes such as Cage, Fursaxa and Throbbing Gristle among his influences. Excellent production. Acoustic and electronic techniques are used in a highly sophisticated and wayward, anarchic manner; also extremely harsh and dark in places and one may wonder of the deep angst today's youth are harbouring! Watch out for Turbo Geek! "I hope this hurts your ears.." TG

Thee Free: Student Life - Brain Death (FCD03) (ltd.50) Released 31.1.06

Newly released on Freenoise Jan 31st 2006 we are very chuffed by this totally insane album.
Put Lightning Bolt, Merzbow, Napalm Death and Cabaret Voltaire into a padded studio on angel dust for a week.
Seventy two minutes of total all out psychic assault! Due to the huge variety of influences and input in this project you will not feel overloaded after a full sitting, but enthused, inspired and satisfied to the sonic hilt. Breakneck elec guitar, walls of ultra-frequency noise, sci-fi soundscapes, huge mythical underground machinery churns up the faery folk ... Totally nasty, freaky, obscene 'headphones or missis out only' stuff!
Track 11- 'Omnihomohypgnopathy' on Freenoise: Fusion is from this album. Ltd. (100)

GodOnlyKnows.: Format (FCD02) (ltd.100) Released 15.2.06

Format (FCD02) An exercise in proto-industrial noise dada; big twisted beats and classic lo-fi glitchery from the Sheffield school of noise. Hints of Sylvian, Coil & Eno type abstract and dark melodies sit well among the abrasive electronic skullduggery reminiscent of Throbbing Gristle. Lo-fi jazz loops cascade over sqeals of death on a rollercoast ride into hell and back while quirky minimalist hip-hop styles battle it out with a sophisticated Kraftwerk type ambience. Tons of analogue adrenalin fun as well as murder by volume which makes this an album to equate with a night out on cocaine with some Sheffield gangsters. Hard stuff.
Track 8 'VBR' on Freenoise: Fusion (FCD01) is taken from 'Format'.
