Moon Phantoms - S/T (2009)


Moon Phantoms is a collaboration between the bands Bardo Pond and Suishou No Fune from Japan. This record came about as most of these collaboration records do by two bands doing a tour together, hitting it off and deciding it would be fun to record a session together. Here's a review I'm stealing from Aquarius Records who always seem to sum up the mood of an album perfectly in just a few sentences:
"Deep in the forest ethno-drones, drenched in buzz and shimmer. Sitar, guitar, cumbas and all sorts of percussion create exquisite layers psych drone Nirvana that will transport you to another dimension. Strangely peaceful, the music we hear in our heads when we lay in grass at night staring at the stars."
This vinyl only release was limited to 500 copies.

The Bark Haze - The Bark Haze (2007)


The Bark Haze is a side project of Thurston Moore's along with Andrew MacGregor (AKA Gown).  I guess it's fairly typical of Moore's more noise based side projects.  Just long improvised guitar freakouts.  I guess you either like this kind of thing or you don't.

Gate - Lounge (1995)


Gate is Michael Morley of The Dead C's solo project.  It's even more loosely structured noise than most Dead C albums if you can imagine that.  So if freeform improvised feedback is your thing, this is for you.  If it's not, this may annoy the crap out of you.

Grey Daturas - Blood Trail (2006)


Much of Melbourne's Grey Daturas music is noise/drone in a loose, improvised, experimental kind of way.  This release seems to have more of a rock structure to it.  Just a "little" bit that is...  For fans of The Dead C or Bardo Pond.
