EL-087: The Roi Experience - Level III Deployment C90 cassette
After nearly 40 years (spending most of which on hiatus) come the debut recordings of this one-man monstrosity. While the 1980s iteration was a raw and guttural vocal-only approach, the 21st century finds T.R.E. in a heavily focused lead-poisoned composer approach. No one's idea of music.
Edition of 40 copies.
EL-086: Melted Shop Vac – May 17 2000 C90 cassette
Newly unearthed from the Chinesefish archives – a rare session by this little-heard Geoff Walker/John Olson duo sometimes alternately known as Enemy Brains. Prime Michigan Progressive era sound for the ages. Edition of 50 copies with era-correct Olson xerox splatter.
EL-085: Cosmic Corners Investigation Committee C90 cassette
Seriously bonkers meeting of John Olson, Nate Young, and Thom Elliott – all gears rusted out and running on psychic momentum. Hi-end mix known as The Frozen Rooms, this is the open-brained mutant live to tape transcription. Edition of 50 copies.
EL-083: V/A - Arcane Ritual Complex C90 cassette
The latest yearly compilation from the Easy Listening Corporation. Featuring all unreleased tracks from:
Rolaid Alpo Cola (Lon C. Diehl of Hunting Lodge), Bob Kupi and John C. Hoppe (of Visceral Response), Pink Chunk Jazz Band (one-off live trio lineup), P.U.L.E. (ft. Roi of Slaughterhouse), Grey Tissue (first new material since the mid 1980s), Melting Coffins (Max J. Eastman + Knox Mitchell) Spider Tombs (Geoff Walker + LoopLetcher), Thom Elliott, a special piece circa 1975 from multi-disciplined Detroit artist T.M Caldwell, and many more.

EL-080: Pain Compliance - Paralyzed By Life Itself C60 cassette
Extreme environmental recordings of harsh static sound. Both sides recorded in nature. Edition of 30 copies.
EL-079: Thom Elliott - Total Guilt C60 cassette
Further documents from the solo, live to tape synth diaries at the Ice Palace. This one sounds like the power grid of an entire city bursting into flames inside the eye of a tornado. An electronic sandstorm with your eyelids pinned open. Edition of 30 copies.
EL-066: Club Foot - 1985 C60 cassette
Sole release by this Atlanta, GA mystery group of the WREK scene, whose first gig was opening for RuPaul. Very little representation of the strange sitar-drum programming-vocal-homemade sound this trio had, save for this scarce full-length and a few compilation appearances. Edition of 30 copies with 1:1 copies of the original fold out color cover. Special thanks to Reed Hayward for providing his copy as the master.
