diagnosis...DON'T! reCoRdings
CURRENT RELEASES
DONT 017 BONECLOUD 3"CDR
Irelands dark masters of icy druid-drone. Mysterious Loops and ghostly,
wind-tunnel tones. absolutely kick arse!
DONT 016 A.M Poerua Acid 3"CDR
The great man behind Psudoarcana and countless other projects
(the nether dawn, mrtyu, black boned angel, with throats as fine as needles etc)
whips up a warbled drone gem. finger picked guitar, howls and bamboo flute
hosed in feedback n droned out to the tits! like listening back to a terry
riley cassette that'd been left on the dashboard during a summer scorcher.
DONT 015 NIGEL WRIGHT Alleluya 3"CDR
Auckland New Zealand's Nigel Wright creates processed minimal guitar-scapes
which evolve at an meditative pace. A stoned crawl towards a digital sunset.
DONT 014 EOH Wormy 3"CDR
LAST COPIES!
After much inquiry, a piece of the April 2006 EOH recordings finally
sees the light of day. EOH is the famed drinking trio of Simon Taylor,
Aaron Coyes, and moi (Robert Mayson). Aside from recording, the three of
us spent many an evening hanging around my kitchen, listening to records,
eating Japanese curries, getting boozy on stones� the usual shit. We even
managed to tour Sydney before Aaron was forced to return to his home in
California. This 20 minute, mind melding, ogre was culled specifically for
3"CDR from over two hours of recordings. Organ, oscillators, circuit-bent
instruments, contact microphones, ride cymbals, bass, guitar, piano, floor
tom, tape machines, transistor radio..., all recorded in a cavernous hall
in the heart of Melbourne. This is a snippet of one of my favorite
recording sessions that I've had the privilege working on.
EOH is by no means over and there's talk of a reunion of sorts by the
end of the year with shows in both the USA and Australia. Here's hoping!
Oh, the recording was named after my son Max's imaginary friend.
DONT 0013
BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL
Small Christian Victories
3"CDR
LAST COPIES!
Another sick-arsed release by Lower Hutt, New Zealand�s one and only
Birchville Cat Motel. Recorded live in the cramped confines of the
glorious fire escape at Happy in Wellington (I've been there and it's
cool as fuck). Shrill as sin, battery-powered, feedback cranked through
distressed walkman speakers. Brutal shit!
DONT 0012
THE STUMPS
Dry Eyed Twitch (cycle)
3"CDR
SOLD OUT!
Is it possible to stick three better motherfuckers together in one band?
Ok, maybe, but none the less this trio is pretty damned tight... voila,
here are The Stumps... Stephen Clover (Seht), Antony Milton (The Nether
Dawn, Mrtyu, Black Boned Angel, PsudoArcana...) and James Kirk (Sandoz Lab
Technicians, Gate, the Dead C, Black Boned Angel...). These good sorts
stayed at my house during a recent tour of Melbourne which ripped the
arse out of every venue they played. And as with Seht, why not release a
3" in honour of their visit? So here we have 'Dry Eyed Twitch (cycle)'.
Noisy, droning, psyched out bliss. Hail!
DONT 0011
SEHT
Sputnik II
3"CDR
SOLD OUT!
Seht is Wellington New Zealand's Stephen Clover. I recently had the
pleasure of putting Stephen up in my lounge room whilst he was on tour in
Melbourne with his band the Stumps. Whilst a fan of Seht's other
masterworks, why not release something on this hear diagnosis...DON'T! 3"
series. Seht creates an epic in Sputnik II which could easily be the
soundrack to deep space drifting or an Antarctic submarine mission.
Icy drones and sonar pulses... A goddamned favourite!
DONT 0010
BONE SHERIFF
Huh Again
3"CDR
SOLD OUT!
Bone Sheriff is the unhealthy, sporadic recordings of Simon Taylor
(Whitehorse, Malakat, EOH) and, your's truly, Robert Mayson (Grey Daturas,
EOH, It's Is, Maggoted). Created perely during binge sessions on ginger
wine and sparkling ale and smashed out on keytar, bass, contact mics,
cymbols, glass panes, and FX pedals... 'Huh Again' contains several short
noise blasts sandwitching a blurred out drone epic of Eldritchian proportions.
DONT 0009
JACQUELINE GORDON
DreamBlanket
CDR
SOLD OUT!
A stereo recording of the Oakland California based artist's installation,
DreamBlanket. Several speakers are sewn into a hand woven blanket. Each
speaker is connected to a sound producing device, often circuit bent toys
and instruments. The participant is left to cozy up to the blanket and
fade out to the ensuing electronic soundscapes. One of the finest
electronic music experiences of recent times. CDR comes sandwiched between
two squares of the blanket.
DONT 0008

Melbourne, on the 31st of August, 2002. The material on this CD
represents part three of a 30 minute long improvisation.
Here's what the nice folk at
Cumbersome Records had to say...
"Just because they don't have songs doesn't stop them from being
a band� this 3" CD captures a 15 minute piece recorded at the Rob Roy.
Don't be fooled by its size, this is improvised sonic power play at its
finest & loudest!"
