Potpourri 04:15
"Boss, anything!" His ravaged body green I was painfully astray I ran away, ran away His body dips like a dowser's wand Stock probe sucks the juice from an object The interpretation of the game became obvious: "I'd have been much too embarrassed If I had to ask a question like that"

Know that this is my truth Beware of heartless them With scalpel they would dissect a kiss; Given a chance, they'd undream a dream Hear what I have to say: Let them rot in stolen lives A decoy, soft worlds, and lies will fade. A moonless nightcall, far, far away This is the thing fiends and angels sing

The Call 05:02

I got a little lost When you were talking about recent stuff But I still got it And when I got home, the soup was still hot Now I'm hanging, and now I'm moving On my feet again, upside down Fell forward and climbed around Got over and I don't know!

You've got hay on your "face": And the last time I seen you, I think that you had some hay on your "brain": There's no "would" back on Mars (Dooya know why there's no "would" on Mars?) You've got hay on your "face"! And, the last time I seen you, I think that you had some hay on your "brain"!! There's no "would" back on Mars- Do you know why there's no "would" on Mars? Dooya think, ifya fell Inna black hole, you could tell Hey, dooya think that, that if you fell down, Inna black hole, do you think you could find a way to get yourself out? TOO LATE! You're too late, you're too late.

Mahockle 00:54
K-9 I possess a cold heart And I can now transform and assume A wrathful form No, NO! You must now believe me I would not deceive you When I tell you I have been waiting here for over 500 years Mahockle! Mahockle! Mahockle! Mahockle! Mahockle! GO!

about

A collection of rare tracks recorded between 1993 and 2011; some had previously appeared on compilations, singles, and a handful were pieces which for one reason or another were left off of their parent albums.

"Discoteca MM2 is not a regular new album, but rather a compilation of tracks recorded between 1991 and 2003, all of them either unreleased or to be found on incredibly rare releases. There is for instance The Call (Mefallicator Dub), a new dub mix of a track they recorded for a Sun Ra tribute album. Quite intriguing is also Nora Barbarossa which features guitarist Ron Anderson who helps give this piece an authentic Frank Zappa flair. The one minute short Mahockle bridges the gap between grindcore and gypsy punk. Otherwise you get a lot of experimental free jazz rock music. The album’s centrepiece is evidently Tar’ Hai Wizard, a nearly forty-three minute long homage to the artist Moebius."
-Disagreement.net

"Dieses Werk der Multi-Instrumentalisten Jason Berry und Michael de la Cuesta ist eine Sammlung von Aufnahmen, die zwischen 1993 und 2011 entstanden. Die ersten vier Stücke erschienen schon auf verschiedenen Kompilationen, unter anderem der Remix des SUN RA-Medleys „The call“.

Avantgardistischer Jazz trifft auf frickelige Sound-Effekte, um sich in vielschichtigen Post-Punk zu ergießen. Dieses Album entstand mithilfe einer stattlichen Zusammenrottung diverser experimentell höchst versierter Künstler, wie Sängerin Hillary Pryde, Schlagwerker Thomas Scandura (MOLECULES, DIRTY PATINA), Bassist Matthew Waldron (IRR.APP.(EXT.), NURSE WITH WOUND), Krachpapst Ron Anderson (PAK, MOLECULES), Glenn Sorvisto (ARKANSAW MAN, PAK) oder Elektroniker James Rodenborn."

-Ox Fanzine

"Centré autour de son leader, Jason Berry (également graphiste, puisqu’il s’occupe des pochettes et a consacré un des enregistrements à Jean Giraud, alias Moebius…), multi instrumentiste mais principalement saxophoniste et clarinettiste, le groupe a connu plusieurs line-up (on y repaire entre autres l’actuel batteur de Ron Anderson au sein de Pak, Keith Abrams!) et pratique une musique hybride et joyeuse. Il est en effet difficile de coller une quelconque étiquette à VACUUM TREE HEAD. Il y a, peu certes, de l’électronique, des influences diverses entre musiques ethniques (mais impossible – et heureusement – de parler de world music), improvisations, musiques expérimentales, voire folk rock…. Fugitivement, on se surprend à chercher telle ou telle référence à l’écoute de quelques notes et/ou quelques sonorités (The Work ? Zappa ? Gong ? Même les Residents ?). Cela pourrait être le pendant de Perfect Vacuum "The Music of The 21st Century"**, en moins parodique peut-être."

about

vacuum tree head San Francisco, California

Vacuum Tree Head was formed by Jason Berry and Michael de la Cuesta in a garage in south San José, California, in 1989. Inspired equally by punk rock, free jazz, electronic music and modern composition, we recorded in whatever style we wanted, on whatever instrument we could get our hands on, in whichever manner we pleased. VTH ceased operations in December of 2019. ... more
