THE LETHARGY SERIES
New releases of recordings dating back to the last millennium
CRAWLING WITH TARTS - Ludiques Manifestes
zzz -1 CD-R (10 tracks, 69 minutes)
Three live recordings from concerts held in Oakland in 1991 and 1992. Intended to be released on cassette in 1999, but kept in the drawer until now, this work is published for the first time. Improvisation sketches on percussive patterns, self-constructed instruments, and even a punky, fast and furious song. Different sides of a group always different from the rest.

BLOWHOLE - Reassembled
zzz - 2 CD-R (8 tracks, 43 minutes)
Live and studio recordings previously released on cassette in 1995. Free-noise(jazz?) assaults, improvisations, objects beaten and scraped, but also a violin. All you can imagine and nothing you may imagine. A manifesto of musical freedom.

PANGOLINORCHESTRA’ - O
zzz - 3 CD-R (12 tracks, 41 minutes)
Studio recordings previously released on cassette in 1995. Art&free-rock structures with a somewhat strange approach to melody. Featuring the genius of Piume E Sangue’s Gi Gasparin.

KAPOTTE MUZIEK - Enhanced Room Acoustics
zzz - 4 CD-R (3 tracks, 57 minutes)
Previously released on cassette in 1996, the two original tracks are here enhanced by a new one especially composed and performed by Freiband in 2007. From the analogic sound modifications of last century's industrial age to the micro and nearly audible variations of the new digital era.
