13 Gauge/Klatzker-Corsano Duo/Dieter Henkel - 3...2...1...zero (hot cars warp records) LP  ---->  $10 1997 release, edition of 500. Corsano's first album, more or less. "13 Gauge [Corsano, Aaron Mullan (later of Tall Firs) and George Moore (later of anexplodingstar & Chessie)] dedicate a side of the LP to alto legend Marion Brown and give their rendition of a post-core, Chick Corea-less Afternoon of a Georgia Faun. Their third and final piece is 'Montana Fix', a very loose tribute to mushroom legend John Cage. The Klatzker-Corsano duo (cello and drums, respectively) follow w/ a slightly more melodic, but no less frazzled approach. 13 Gauge-ist Dieter Henkel abandons his main instrument (drums) to jam guitar, trumpet, and twiddled knobs into the works, bringing things to a screeching halt." Individually made covers using either recycled LP jackets or cereal boxes or whatever else would house a record.

Phil X. Milstein-Thurston Moore - Songs We Taught The Lord Vol. 2 (hot cars warp records) LP  ---->  $30 Recorded live at the Middle East, Cambridge, MA on December 12, 1996.

Diadal - s/t  (hot cars warp records) 2LP  ---->  $70 (stickered) / $50 (unstickered) Released in 1998. Visual artists/musicians Rita Ackermann & Jutta Koether with three members of the No Neck Blues Band on 2 tracks. One LP is all music (and what music it is!), the other is etched  (one by Rita Ackermann, the other by Jutta Koether). Most of the covers were hand-stickered with neon dolphins and the like, though there are some that didn't get "the treatment." Save yourself $20 for the unstickered version. For those who care, it's not silk-screened (as is suggested elsewhere on the internets); it's a pantone color (vs. the more common and, unbeknownst to stupid me at the time, cheaper CMYK) print. Pre-Angelblood, pre-Electrophillia.

OTHER COLLABORATIONS:

Dredd Foole & The Din - The Whys of Fire (Ecstatic Yod) CD  ---->  $12 Dredd + Thurston Moore, Pelt & Chris Corsano. Mastered by Jim O'Rourke. Actuel tribute (or rip-off depending on how you look at it) cover. Released in 2003.

The Puke Eaters - Hello Valhalla (Skulls of Heaven/Lalalal) LP  ---->  $14 Recorded (at least in part) in July 2005 and released in 2009. "For any points of reference think of the swamp into which Fille qui mousse, Cromagnon and 'Jesus Christ' era Smell & Quim were dumped." - Skulls of Heaven

Spencer Yeh (violin), Chris Corsano (drums).  Second in Nate's Seven Storey series (first was a trio with Paul Lytton and David Grubbs). Says Tiny Mix Tapes: "There really isn’t any fair comparison of this material to the previous version. Rather, two reiterations on disc of this piece make for valuable listening and show that “noise,” in the purview of three multi-talented musician-composers, can make for an extremely rewarding experience."
