hobert europe - 2005 tour cd-r
5" cd-r
winter 2005
some may call it breakcore lite, some pop-breakcore, others might deem it ready for the club. all will agree that it is stereotypical breaks and silly samples, the hallmark of modern bc.
CD39
hentai cum dungeon - food product
5" cd-r
winter 2005
digital hardcore and party breaks versus power electronics with an insane-sexual, unironic lyric. absolutely not to be missed. in very handsome hand-made packaging (sandwich bag, hamburger wraper, xerox OR: the "promo edition" with magazine/newspaper clipings, rolodex card in paper sleeve).
will also be appearing as a 3" cd-r on brokecore records.
CD30
metal babble
3 x 5" cd-r set
forthcoming
disc one, the metal babble demo sessions. disc two, vaporizor sessions. disc three, a live improvisation-duet with metal babble and hobert europe.
seat of the pants psychedelic noise, bass rumbles, feedback screams, guitar creaks and more.
CD26
hobert europe - live at flint local 432 - 2004-12-19
5" cd-r
winter 2005
live breakcore set straight out of the "just press play" school of live laptop performance. while other US break-heads are mashing up pop culture, the samples here are mostly from obscure english party-house and booty bass. and of course, mad-programmed amen beats and gabber kicks sustain thoughout.
CD25
bionic chronic - homoerotic electronica & gay hentai
5" cd-r
winter 2005
two improvised arpeggiated-synthesizer workouts. one which is long and wandering, another which is brief and noisy. one reviewer compared it to the soundtrack of "liquid sky", if the composer had crippling ADD.

VCD1-20
i was a negro sex zombie
5" vcd-r/cinevid
forthcoming
a "work in progress" here at the romme probably, usually, means something to be placed in the "broken dreams" folder. this was going to be a hardcore pornographic simulated snuff film. far too largescale a project for us to handle alone.
CD19
[super surprise release! yay!]
3"/5" cd-r
forthcoming
ok. if you were running an indie metal label, this would be like if dee snider came up to you and was like "you wanna do a record?". totally bigtime. eyes peeled, folks.
CD17
hobert europe - *ahem*
5" cd-r
summer 2004
total noise pedal-process of a granulized amen break. an excerpt of this somewhat meandering piece appeared on the "amen evilution" compilation.
CD16
osmotic lode - heaven ep
cassette/cd-r
forthcoming
CD15

4FR - the 4FR notebooks
5" cd-r
winter 2005
private 1/4" recordings by 4FR. assumed lost! recently unearthed!
utterly psychedelic synth beats! childrens records! field recordings of pro-wrestling!
what more could you want from the godfather of local psychedelia?!
NOTHING! THIS IS IT!
CD13

5" cd-r
fall 2004
noise threeway! everyone cums!!

awful brain whores - live at detroit film center
5" cd-r
forthcoming
wolf eyes can accept our collective fist right in their boring ass. we do "noise band" better than anyone. sad part is, you had to be there to understand how sweet a show we really put on. reports from the audience of nausea, reports from the band of extreme vertigo! hearing loss so intense some people we unable to drive home afterward!
a mass of people all getting nuts. on this recording, the awful brain whores were played by: sean and colin (of 'scenes from an italian restaurant'), scott (superstar drummer of 'the yarbles' and 'the skinny fists'), nick (track and the sleep disorders), and mike (the only original awful brain whore) :/
CS1-10b
the hobert/track sessions (box)
7 cassette box set
forthcoming
CS1-10a
the hobert/track sessions (series)
cassette
forthcoming
an ultra largescale project consisting of many parts, most of which are still a mystery.
this project, thus far, may include:
- a 7 cassette box-set
- a series of single edition cassingles
- hand-crafted sleeves/containers
- original artwork on every possible surfacee
- and a companion cd-r of drones to help reccuperate from all that nosie!
.... its all up in the air.
CD8
hobert europe - real loft living
5" cd-r
fall 2004
whereas "tracks 1-8" was reasonably rummbly and easy going, real loft living is total beakbeat violence. eight tracks clocking in at just about five minutes all together, this is nutzoid breakcore.
VINYL1-7
electronic music from michigan compilation
7" clear 33rpm vinyl
forthcoming
everything from edited field recordings and highly academic excercises to the silliest of breakcore and gabber. a truely dynamic compilation.
(includes tracks by: little mack, bionic chronic, two bit vision, hobert europe, metal babble, genders, ed platt, adam mokan, will soderberg, 4FR, set-car!, track and the sleep disorders, the awful brain whores, osmotic lode and dream eater)
CD6
osmotic lode - live at cafe du marquis
5" cd-r
fall 2004
"psychadelic free punk", said the flier. punk rock songs made up on the spot. possibly our most POP recording to date. that straight-to-mono-cassette-tape-quality youve come to know and love.
CD4
hobert europe - tracks 1-8
3" cd-r
summer 2004
our first "loud" release. soft and supple breakbeat-dsp-destruction.
n/a
osmotic lode - covers ep
5" cd-r
spring 2004
CD3
set-car! - set-car!
3" cd-r
fall 2003
computer music at its most basic, yet most emotionally draining. spacerock meets hyper-achademia.
CD2
mike burridge - 424035503
3" cd-r
summer 2003
a reasonably largescale sinewave-drone piece with clonking tape-delay-manipulations and additional processed guitar textures.
CD1
christopher robin - sara and beth
3" cd-r
spring 2003
four quiet tracks ranging from minimal sine wave chord progressions to tape collage to improvised piano.
n/a
awful brain whores - live
cassette
unknown
our first release, from back when we were called "hobert europe recordings". in its eight hand-dubbed editions, this for some reason received the most press-attention of all our releases thus far. casio improv, dj skratching, distortion pedals, masterful flanging and more. making due with whatever happened to be laying around.
