DEATH VALLEY • Que Pasta (Double
Naught)
1994 release of instrumental, spaghetti western surf from Austin.
Heavily Morricone influenced (covers of “For a Few Dollars

in its vibe. (CD)

DREAMLAND• Underwater (Uncle Buzz / Dogfingers)
New from the duo of James H. Sidlo (Crevice) and Johnny A. Rodriguez.
Both band name and album title are appropriate, as this evokes
feelings of an underwater dream via keyboards, guitars and loops.

DRY NOD • Live in Concert (Double
Naught)
Immortalized in song (many times) by THE MIKE GUNN, this is the
debut CD from what was one of this city's most incredible live

could only be the result of consultations with the I–Ching.

Me thinks their best album. (CD)

studio “Holger” with Tom Carter. These are completely
out of print and all I have are versions with make shift covers

|
 |
THE MIKE GUNN • Durban
Poison/Hemp For Victory (Double Naught)
The second album, including the epic “Mesa is Burning”
(with vocals by future Charalambides Christina Carter) plus a remixed
version of their ultra rare debut up as a bonus. (CD) $12 |

the non–lp “Clueless”. (7") $6

 |
THE MIRRORS • A Green Dream (Pop Quiz)
Debut album from 2001 from this League City, Texas band, most
of whom are not yet old enough to drink (legally, that is). Elevators/Prunes
styled garage-psych with a hint of the "other" influences
(Swell Maps? Brother JT?) that will become more apparent on their
sophomore effort to be released on Fleece. (LP)

of Mission of Burma, Big Black, and early Sonic Youth. Beautiful
silk screened covers. (LP) $8 |
 |
ST 37 • I Love To Talk,
If There's Anything To Talk About (Emperor Norton)
Excellent release from 2000 by Austin's reigning psych lords. Nice
Hawkwind vibe with touches of The Elevators, Chrome, and other good
stuff. (CD) $10 |
 |
VOICE OF EYE • Transmigration
(Cyclotron)
1995 release from this duo who split their time between Houston
and New Mexico.
Beautiful organic soundscapes, heavy on drones, with “all sounds

Highly recommended to fans of Popol Vuh's soundtrack work. $12 (CD) |

Winslow • s/t (Praying Mantis Style)
Debut from this great Austin band slated for volume 4 in the
upcoming Fleece split lp series. A brilliant mix of lysergic guitar
