IMPORTANT (Please read to avoid confusion):
Some items below may be tagged with a bold, red, all-caps "out of print/unavailable" notice. This does NOT mean that all other items not so tagged are, in fact, in stock -- or for that matter, in print and available, though there's a good chance they are. Some folks get confused on this point, and we can see why, so please read this for further clarification and other important before-you-order information. Unlike some mailorder websites, we don't have an electronic inventory system linked to our site, so you can't be sure of what we actually have or don't have in stock at any given moment without asking us -- please email our mailorder department for availability status -- or better yet, just go ahead and place your order using our shopping cart function and we'll get back to you with the status of each item. If you have general non-mailorder questions, email the store.

album cover WHITEHOUSE Cruise (Susan Lawly) cd 16.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Yes, the notorious Whitehouse are still at it after twenty years. Love them or hate them, you've probably got a strong opinion about Whitehouse. While we at Aquarius do not necessarily agree with the lyrical content of past Whitehouse releases, some of us appreciate the *concept* of Whitehouse, William Bennett's realisation of "a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission." On this, their sixteenth album, Whitehouse run the risk of losing some hardcore fanatics, while possibly gaining new ones. With the exception of the inclusion of "A Cunt Like You" (which can also be found on 1998's Mummy and Daddy), Cruise marks a new direction for Whitehouse. Tracks like "Princess Disease" and "Cruise (Force the Truth)" are atypically rhythmic, quite enjoyable in fact -- add some amen breaks and you've got the next DHR record! (Whitehouse Remixes, Alec???) Most notable about Cruise is an expansion of lyrical content by William Bennett, pulling us deeper into the depths of his complex and misunderstood mind. And in continuing the concept introduced on Mummy and Daddy, Cruise's centrepiece is a found sound collage of first hand experiences of sexual abuse, arranged by Peter Sotos. Brutal, yet probably the most accessible Whitehouse record to date. Sadly, no cover art by Trevor Brown this time around...
Whitehouse have always seemed to position themselves in close proximity to the artworld (while at the same time alienating themselves from the music world), and in doing so, may be positioning themselves closer to the accepted forms of transgressive art such as Vito Acconchi's public masturbation or Jeff Koon's airbrushed pornography. Whatever you may think about Whitehouse (i.e. if they are or are not 'art'), that which lies underneathe the packaging is certainly not going to change your mind about them. You probably know already if you need to own this. However, Whitehouse does change things up a bit on 'Cruise', taking their normally ear shredding shrieks, and lowering the ultra high frequencies to a more gritty mid-range analogue noise.

album cover V/A Skweee Cruise (Poisonous Gases) 2lp 23.00
Looks like, at least until folks run out of appropriate puns, we can count on more and more collections of skweee being released, thank god. We love the skeeee! It's a marvelous micro-genre that wouldn't exist without the '80s, video games, hip-hop, and the internet. Damaged, DIY retro-electro futurefunk that's spread from Scandinavia to a bevy of eccentric enthusiasts elsewhere across the globe, as this double lp Skweee Cruise proves. Released on the Poisonous Gases label from up in Portland, Oregon, who have previously brought us 7"s by such artists as skweee pro Daniel Savio and up-and-comer Lazercrotch.
We hope you're already as much into skweee as we are (a lot!). In which case, you will definitely want this exskweeellent comp. But it's not just for skweee obsessives like us, it'd be a good intro to skweee as well. From itchy, glitchy popping and locking grooves to moody synthscapes for sipping on gin and juice to some Middle Eastern exotica flavored cuts (a skweee sub-specialty), taking this cruise will help you get your "skweee-legs", that's for sure!
The eighteen new tracks spread across the four sides of this compilation include contributions from vets like Limonious, Daniel Savio, Joxaren, and Randy Barracuda (here under another moniker, The Golden Retrievers!). Plus there's plenty of funky folks fresh to us, including the first example of Japanese skweee of which we've heard (Shitaraba). The full line-up also includes: Coco Bryce, Easy & The Center Of The Universe, Razorsnatch, Boss Kite, Simple, Ben Butler & Mousepad, MO, Slow Hand Motem, mir, Michael Bruce, Wankers United, Hybakusha, and V.C. & Luc B.
