Year Of No Light / Machu Picchu Mother Future - Split LP

Here's an interesting new split LP from France's Music Fear Satan: on side A we have France's pride Year Of No Light teaming up with Fear Falls Burning and Nadja on two new songs. On the B-side comes a track by Machu Picchu Mother Future, which is apparently a collaborative effort between Souvenir's Young America, Conifer and Lesbian when they all 3 happened to be in the same studios and recorded about 2 hours of music together, these sessions birthed what will be known as "Space Mountain Forever." No idea how limited this is, but it comes on red vinyl and the artwork looks killer, so head over to Music Fear Satan and get it now!

Pyramids With Nadja

I've been looking forward to this release for a few months now, so join me and head over to pyramidswithnadja.com for a full stream of the upcoming Pyramids with Nadja LP. The CD version is already up for pre-order over at Hydrahead, no word on an LP release date yet. However, Ulver and Lustmord apparently remixed the first track on this album, "Into the Silent Waves," for a limited 12" to be released early 2010. Stay tuned for more info.

Nadja / Kodiak - Split LP

Also up for pre-order from Denovali, but worth a separate entry as I'm thinking of changing the name of this blog to "Hex - the complete works of aidan baker - Vinyl", is a new split release between Nadja and Germany's Kodiak. This 180g LP comes in a gatefold cover, and is limited to 180 copies on clear vinyl with black.bkue splatters and 320 copies on black vinyl.

Nadja needs no explanation. Kodiak are new too me, but judging by the songs which you stream on the pre-order page sound pretty good. Kind of like a slower, heavier version of Earth or so. Nothing too exciting, a bit too repetitive at times but definitely worth following.

If I'm correct, we get 1 new Nadja song here, and 3 Kodiak songs, so for the sake of completing your Nadja collection, pre-order this little gem as well from Denovali. I'm not a big fan of the colorways on this LP myself, so I'll wait until I come across a pyhiscal copy of this split to see it broad daylught before I actually purchase this. Too expensive too buy everything Nadja related, it sickens me.

PS: No, I do not get endorsed by Denovali. Neither by Nadja. I should though, haha.

Nadja / Armchair Migraine Journey - Transmit Acoustique Abstraction One 10"

Another Nadja output, oh yeah! I haven't been able to post much these last few days due to work and other commitments, so I figured I'd might as well piss you off even more by announcing yet another Nadja LP you want, just for the sake of wanting them all. So, this time around Aidan Baker shares the vinyl with Armchair Migraine Journey, a band of which I've never heard before. Both bands deliver one brandnew track on this 10" album, limited to 200 copies which comes in custom made sleeves with hand printed artwork, numbered and signed.

This split 10" only comes out in December, so this is an extremely early pre-order, but as it's a vinyl only release, and extremely limited, it might just be worth the $30,00 (seriously?) from Beta-Lactam Ring Records

BLR are offering 10% discounts on all pre-orders though, by simply using this code: pr10%. Thus, also valid for the previous reported Troum LP and Nadja LP.

Nadja / Datashock - Collaboration 12"

A Nadja/Datashock collaboration 12"...déjà-vu or what? Well, apparently, some copies of this 2007 12" were accidently repressed, so now Bis Aufs Messer & Vendetta have some spare copies, with self-made covers. This album is actually a recording of a live improvisation between Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff (together called Nadja) and Datashock. Nadja doesn't need an explanation, Datashock are a German "free psych droneband".

So, up for sale now this is this one-sided 12" in the "Nadja-edition", limited to 40 copies, handnumbered. The first original pressing on Meudiamerte/Hlava only had 93 copies, so I guess an additional 40 won't hurt anyone. The picture above is of the original artwork, no idea what this new version will look like. Anyway, if you're looking to complete your Nadja collection, you can order it now from Bis Auf's Messer

Nadja - Under The Jaguar Sun 2xLP

What did I say about Nadja last week again? There's no keeping up with Aidan Baker. Available now to order is the new 2xLP called "Under The Jaguar Sun" from Beta-lactam Ring Records - now there's a mouthful...

The 2xLP edition is due late August 2009 (thus now) and is packaged in a full color custom made book bound gatefold sleeve with 180 gram vinyl. Note: The vinyl version features three mixes by Nadja and one mix by Edward Ka-Spel (that's right, the guy from The Legendary Pink Dots) using the 2xCD set as source material so the music is very different from the CD version.

Get if for $25 from BLR Records

Nadja / Black Boned Angel - Split LP

Back to the metal. Or sort of. This is a release I'm definitely spending my money on: the collaboration between Nadja and Black Boned Angel. Nadja are in my book similar to Boris, meaning that it's quite impossible to own all their records because they seem to release something every month. Black Boned Angel is also known under his other monniker Birchville Cat Motel. These 2 drone/metal soloplayers actually collaborated before on the one-sided Christ Send Light LP (which is still available from Conspiracy by the way), and as far as I've understood, this is more material from these recording sessions. To top things off, the artwork is also a collaboration between two heavyweights; David D’Andrea and Stephen Kasner.

20 Buck Spin don't have the LP available online, but you can order yours from Insound
