AED - Earthylrelmusic (2003)

 

Artist: AED / A.E.D.
Album: Earthlyrelmusic
Location: Portland, USA
Genres: Backpacker Hip Hop, Lost & Lofi (00s indie demo rap)
Year Released: 2003
Date Refound / Posted: 2023-06-24 
Format(s) Released: CDr

Explanation: 

AED (aka Anthony Demarco) is a rapper based out of Portland. That's about all I know about him. Based on discogs he's a member of the groups PeopleMoveProject, LesMoss and Headphone Party; and all three of those look to be one-off projects. I remember reading a bit of who this guy was years ago but I can't find that source anymore. 

I was drawn to it for the black-and-white cover, lo-fi appearance and the title. Earthly Realm Music? Sounds like some dungeon rap stuff. It wasn't. It was your average run-of-the-mill lo-fi backpacker stuff from the late 90s/early 2000s. I love the stuff when I'm in the mood for it and this ended up being decent. 

Reasons for Disappearance: 

Like other artists on this site, AED was never really well known. He seems to be semi-back and has an active bandcamp page as a member of the It's Future Time collevtive. However despite being around his older work remains out of print and difficult to find. So of course, I'm sure that he could just re-issue his stuff but who knows? Maybe he's got personal reasons to not release it. I wouldn't hold out on any re-releases. As per the current bandcamp page it refers to him as a ghost, sometimes existing, sometimes not. 

This was found and sent in by a friend of mine. He runs a blog too, so if you get a chance check it out --> https://ugfossils.blogspot.com

Hell this record at least has older ratings on RYM. He has records that are still lost; not even collectors can get their hands on. One5For is one such record. It might've been for sale on Discogs at one point for like 200 bucks.

Rap Bastard / DJ Dog Dick - Split (2004)

  Artist: Rap Bastard / DJ Dog Dick Album: Split Location: Baltimore, USA / Genres: Abstract Hip Hop, Sound Collage, Noise Year Released: 2004 Date Re-Found / Posted: 2023-08-?? (recovered by tib) Format(s) Released: Cassette Explanation: I'll admit I know very little about both artists. DJ Dog Dick, real name Max Eisenberg is a noise artist who I mostly know about from a few collabs with rapper Lil Ugly Mane. 'Rap Bastard', aka HZMT I know actually nothing of. When I added this release to my list is was mainly to illustrate just how many lost releases there is for Eisenberg. He released most of his stuff cassette only, and even though he was ahead of the curb, never got much attention cause of that. As I was writing this, I looked into HZMT / Rap Bastard / Anthony Miller and damn does he have a lot of missing and undocumented releases. He ran his own label and released almost everything exclusively on cassette. A true indie artist. Both artists really have large catalogues...

The Convulsions of Creation - Moonba Is Here (1995)

  Artist: The Convulsions of Creation [Chris Shepard & Mike Mangino] Album: Moonba Is Here Location: Piscataway, USA Genres: Cassette Underground, Sound Collage, Drone, Noise Year Released: 1995-xx-xx Format(s) Released: Cassette Explanation: Atlas King is a label I have been tracking for years now. Home to the noise duo, Smersh it was active in the Cassette Underground releasing all sorts of weird tapes. This is one of them. Almost all the acts on Atlas King were just akas of Smersh but unlike the duo, the non-Smersh releases experimented with electronic, noise and other genres. The Convulsions of Creation is one such project, a side-thing by Smersh messing more with drone and sound collage. This release is okay. I'm sure someone will enjoy it more. When it comes to noise I don't like ear-splitting sounds. The first track has a few. It's this dissonant, vaguely "Eastern" sounding drone with rattles and some high-pitched sounds. The second and third track are ...

305 808 & N0ϟPΔ☾ƎΔPƎ - Sons of God (2013)

  Artist: 305 808 & N0ϟPΔ☾ƎΔPƎ Album: Sons of God: The Most Outer Place Location: Miami, USA Genres: Witch House Rap, Witch House, Trillwave Year Released: 2013 Format(s) Released: Bandcamp Explanation: I'll admit. This is not my cup of tea. Not only do I know very little about these artists I know even less of who they collaborated with. I only know of this from a RYM list I saw where someone mentioned they were looking for this album. All I know about NoSpaceApe is that he was an artist active in the Witch House Rap scene that existed in the early 2010s. The one Black Kray is often considered the founder of. I know absolutely nothing of 305 808. I can't find any info either. This is a Witch House Rap album, with lots of loud distortion, slurred and incomprehensible lyrics and edgy and dark song titles and sounds. In theory I should like it but as I wrote, it's just not for me. I could just write a whole review on how much I didn't like it but ehn. I don't have...
