ultra eczema 45 - XO4: lost signals LP
the trio of BILL NACE, JOHN TRUSCINSKI and JAKE MEGINSKY deliver their fourth spars, spaced scratched and creeped record, after their debut cd-r on audiobot, an amazing tape on BILL's own imprint "open mouth" and an lp on ecstatic peace. although this band uses only 2 guitars and percussion they've built up a paradise of tension between instruments that by far doesn't sound like you'd think they'd sound. it does sound like someone is pulling your veins gently, softly focused on not really hurting you, but having chinese torture in the back of your brain. a no-named peasant would guess this music was made by an old dog, collecting thousands of little pieces of metal, knowing exactly what they would sound like if you rub them onto another miked up metal closet, or a circuit bent old wooden clock. sensitive guitar molesting is never far away.
i've heard the master for this record about 50 times before releasing it and still discover new sounds in it. there's a lot of space on here, and it's really hard to figure out which instrument is which, not that it matters, but i did think "what the hell is this sound made of?!".
besides XO4 and his solo work, BILL NACE also plays in a duo with chris cooper, in VAMPIRE BELT with chris corsano, and in ORTHAMPTON WOOLS with thurston moore. he also does amazing drawings, books and runs open mouth records/tapes. both JOHN TRUSCINSKI and JAKE MEGINSKY also do amazing solo work!
this record comes in a collaged cover design by dennis tyfus, limited to 500 copies.

ultra eczema 46 - DENNIS TYFUS: 0032(3) 2934834 LP
this lp collects a selection of phone calls made daily between may 5th and july 29th 2007, as part of the group exhibition "virus" at the hessenhuis in antwerp. most of these calls have been broadcasted during the weekly "tyfustijd" radioshow on radio centraal (106.7fm). the conversations on this lp are either really embarrassing, sad or mean. the people who weren't on the other side of the line tought it was funny though.
the conversations interlude with VOM GRILL's analog synth and scruffy voice tunes which gives it a specific radioplay sound, or even borders with sound poetry.
limited to 400 copies, full color cover design by dennis tyfus and kermit apetown. comes with liner notes and a picture of a 11 year old tyfus calling his grandmum.

ultra eczema 47 - FRED BERVOETS LP
SOLD OUT!
ultra eczema 48 - JOS STEEN: electricity, music for tape & turntable LP
jos steen is a remarkable outsider in the purest possible sense of the word! telling stories about the dude always sounds like they're untrue or seriously exaggerated, the way he lives sounds like a fairytale and the way he acts would resemble the heaviest mix of bukowski and bobby colombo. jos lives in a tiny house underneath a radiotower of the national tv and radiostation "vrt", where he works as an audio librarian, the house is built on the highest point of the area in a forest, you can see it from miles and miles away, it's tiny but can be called a museum! it is full of selfmade instruments and broken piano's, amazing wooden string instruments made of garbage and all kinds of foreign instruments noone remembers the name of.
since around 1964 jos has been making poems, stories, paintings, collages, drawings and music/sound to kill the demons in his head or jam along to their forceful blues! some call him "the belgian beefheart" and the people that already forgot about beefheart talk about a local little howling wolf.
jos always made selfreleased zines, tapes and more recently mountains of cdr's of homemade blues, broken bottle experiments and heavy free music folk. this lp is a selection of tracks of a recent cdr of tape and recordplayer experiments spiced with vacummcleaners, rotting voices, undefinable strings, piano's etc.. it's absolutely unthinkable his work could be potentially lost in time and space, for fuck's sake, the dude is a genius!!!!!!
in the past jos played with free jazz greats like peter jacquemin, andré goudbeek, yvo van der borght, with poetry psychos like roland topor and freddy de vree, and with zappa's own jimmy carl black who begged on his bare knees to play with jos, well maybe thats exaggerated as well..
this lp comes in a gold and white cover by dennis tyfus and a off set printed insert!
