"COMPLETE SPRING TOUR 2009 6 x CS set (Dronedisco) - $20
In the spring of 2009, Wasteland Jazz Unit joined fellow
Cincinnati-based unit Burning Star Core on a short twelve-show tour,
worming through the Midwestern apple. Every set of the Unit was
recorded, and now presented here in entirety; non-chronological order
across six cassettes -- dueling pairs of fourteen, sixteen, and
eighteen minutes -- to ensure a blank tape minimum. Cincinnati,
Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Iowa City,
Evanston, Chicago, St. Louis, Lexington -- through sports bars,
basements, galleries, radio station studios, etc. -- the Wasteland
mission remained the same (http://www.myspace.com/wastelandjazzunit).
Includes the relatively hectic Chicago set, which resulted in a broken
tooth for Robert Beatty during the first-ever encore and "moshpit" for
these boys.
Six cassettes in vinyl case with inserts in an edition of 50.

CARDBOARD SAX/WASTELAND JAZZ UNIT SPLIT LP (COMMUNITY COLLEGE) - $15
CARDBOARD SAX is Holly (Uneven Universe), Dan (Uneven Universe, Haunted Castles, Body Morph), and Olson (Wolf Eyes,
Graveyards, Dead Machines) on saxs and electronics. Amazing use of space and restraint on this killer LP debut. Haunting
excursions into the dark basement sax damage happening across Michigan these days. Perfect recording and a great
example to introduce this trio to the world outside the midwest.
WASTELAND JAZZ UNIT is Jon Lorenz and John Rich repping
Cincinati's Art Damage Lodge and ripping the B side up with their scathing sax assault. Walls of feedback and distorted jazz
take you on a 16 minute ride of beautiful destruction.
Artwork by JASON ZEH
33rpm, Limited to 300 copies on Black Vinyl.

"ECSTATIC JAZZ DUOS SPLIT LP w/ TALIBAM!" (THOR'S RUBBER HAMMER) - $13
In the first installment of the Ecstatic Jazz Duos series, there is no room for subtlety. On the the Talibam! side, the 18-minute "The Geometric Mophometrics of P.P.P.P.P. McNasticals" (what?!) is a multi-part epic unlike anything else in the New York City duo's recorded output. Matt Motel (synthesizer) and Kevin Shea (drums) run through the cacophonous noise-jazz most of us know them for, but also seamlessly engage in righteously proggy pursuits taking hits off King Crimson and Keith Emerson. On the B-side, Wasteland Jazz Unit gurgles shrapnel on two rippers for amplified saxophone (Jon Lorenz) and clarinet (John Rich). Cincinnati's premier Art Damage skater-jazz crew have recorded with the likes of C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) and Ryan Jewell (Pink Reason, Psychedelic Horseshit), and here deliver an aural abuse that just ruins your day. Edition of 500.

"BARREN SECT" CD-R (CUT HANDS) - $10
Here’s a record that doesn’t waste time blasting the testicles up your throat! Wasteland Jazz Unit have been sandblasting ears throughout 2008 and it certainly feels like a privilige to kickstart a new WJU year with some of their most putrid Fried Jazz to date. Saxophonist Jon Lorenz and clarinettist John Rich delve deeper into the Great Borbetomagus Saga than anyone else these days but add some extra k’s of Noise crudeness to it to make it sound like freejazz for sewage rat biker gangs. The three tracks on this album feel like huge bolts of reed feedback sandblasting the grease out of your ears. A highlight in their discography so far and, let me quote Jon Lorenz here: “definitely some of the best stuff we've recorded yet”.
70 copies in plastic sleeves with art by Jason Rohm.

"OHIO GHASTLY SOIL" w/ C SPENCER YEH + RYAN JEWELL
(DREAMSHEEP) - $10
Sounding like Laddio Bolocko playing Aufgehoben’s songs, this amazing quartet shares a seriously mindblowing connection with the huge underground noise scenary in the United States. This half-an-hour free-form session between these Ohio-based dudes is a long electroshock torture which features Yeh (experimental violinist/electronic musician with a highly growing reputation around the world) playing bass here, Jewell (experimental drummer/electronic musician also involved in Pink Reason and Psychedelic Horseshit) on drums/electronic junk and John Rich/Jon Lorenz (Wasteland Jazz Unit) totally immersed in a hyper-amplified and nihilistic sax playing. File under sparkling brutality. CDR comes in a limited edition of 200 copies.
