Description
Various- Menhir double 7” LATHE CUT EP (Root Don Lonie For Cash)
Super limited (maybe 20-30 copies) LATHE CUT compilation from New Zealand's Root Don Lonie For Cash imprint featuring tracks from Witcyst, Fabio Orsi (of Italian duo's Fabio Orsi & Valerio Cosi, Gianluca Becuzzi & Fabio Orsi and collaborator of My Cat Is An Alien), GFrenzy and Clayton Noone of Armpit (both occasional Pumice collaborators). The most prominent names here, I'm guessing are Orsi and Witcyst who sprung from the same mad New Zealand zeitgeist as CJA, Birchville Cat Motel, Armpit, Peter Wright, Pumice, The Dead C, Handful of Dust, Gate and Sandoz Lab Technicians and with utter brilliance and unrelenting creativity became one of New Zealand's more important avant garde artists (whether recognized or not).Both 7"s are MINT- (I consider all new lathe discs as mint- because the nature of lathe discs is that some surface noise will be present, this is normal to the process of making the discs)/Cover is MINT-.
Tracks are:
Disc 1 :
1. Memorial 1 (GFrenzy) of Onehunga, NZ
2. Diamond Talon (Autoharpies) of Dunedin, NZ
1. Rulo (Criadero En Seres) of Buenos Aires, Argentina
CR02 (Kraus) of Devonport, NZ
2. Where It Hands Above (Shelterdeath) of Orange County, California
3. Wallace Iti (Witcyst) of Whangarei, NZ
Disc 2 :
1. Past Dreams, Future Walks (Fabio Orsi) of Turin, Italy
1. A Dogs Dream (Flushing Device [sometime Fabio Orsi collaborators]) of Turin, Italy
2. Lyrc (Clayton Noone & Chrissie Butler) of Wellington, NZ
3. Feigned Whir (Bright Duplex) of Austin, Texas
Seymor Glass said of Witcyst in Bananafish 15:
"Few possess the abilities to warrant releasing quadruple-CDs (yet it's a pity the incidence of vanity is inversely proportional); if anyone could get away with it at several-week intervals without adding an iota of distress to the world's reserves, it would be Witcyst. Hype? Bite Me. What these New Zealanders can do with a synthesizer and a few samples of balloon noise is enough to base a new civilization on, where intermission and curtain calls do not exist, where perpetual are the floor shows in which refuse and discarded leftovers combine into new, entropy-flummoxing worm-kings, where dependable sunspot fountains lick our faces when we sleep."
A Witcyst appreciation night organizer aptly said:
Witcyst is a one-man volcano of creative activity, spewing out gushing rivers of music, art, videos and writings. He was featured on Le Jazz Non, the Corpus Hermeticum album that defined 90s NZ noise music, and has produced hundreds if not thousands of handmade CDs and artworks. He's a totally unique phenomena. Sadly he hardly ever leaves Whangarei and never actually performs live.
A M G says of Fabio Orsi :
Fabio Orsi is an Italian electronica producer with an ambient style that draws from field recordings, atmospheric drones, and live instrumentation. Born in Carosino, Taranto, Italy, he cites the field recordings of American folklorist Alan Lomax as a primary influence. Orsi made his full-length solo album debut with Osci (2005) on the Small Voices label. In 2007 he released his second full-length, Find Electronica, on the A Silent Place label and collaborated with veteran Italian electro-acoustic composer Gianluca Becuzzi on a trio of albums, Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines, The Stones Know Everything, and Wild Flowers Under the Sofa. Successive full-length collaborations with Becuzzi include the albums Sound Postcards (2008) and So Far (2009). Orsi collaborated with several others as well, most notably Italian saxophonist Valerio Cosi on the albums We Could for Hours (2008) and Thoughts Melt in the Air (2009). In the meantime, Orsi released a bunch of limited-edition [home made] CD mini-albums along with proper full-length solo albums such as Audio for Lovers (2008) and Winterreise (2010).
New Zealand Hearld said of The Autoharpies:
THE AUTOHARPIES will transmute and mutate everything in sight. Honing in from the left side - ISO12 with xenon bass shooting out his eyeballs and wet white noise funking through the midi and from the right OTEPOTI UNDERGROUND whose noble savage skills fizz like Raro on a dry tongue with dope flows that extract plasma from the P.A.
About feedback. All the years I've been on eBay I've had no negative feedback; I strive to provide courteous service. On Oct 10, 2012 I received negative feedback from an person who bought a vinyl 7" (listed & identified as vinyl). Surprised he received a record rather than a CD he left negative feedback without contacting me. He suggested I was a fool for selling vinyl (advising no one has turntables anymore). While eBay took offense at his wording & removed the text of his feedback as inappropriate, they advised the rating wasn't subject to removal as it was his opinion. I stand by my feedback from all the other good people who have bought from me and from whom I have bought items in the past and since.
