Foetus - DAMP
DAMP

DAMP is a "satellite appendix" album, exclusively thru the Shoppe page on this website. At over 72 minutes, the monumental DAMP consists mainly of unreleased material as well as some rare material, and includes collaborations with Melvins and Rotoskop .

"...the more complexity Foetus has, the better it works and "Damp" is indeed one complicated fiend to have in your collection. Think I'll go play it again." — Peter Marks Release magazine

"A self-released compilation featuring lots of unreleased, rare, and reworked music, this is a must for even casual Foetus fans. It may be an odds-and-ends collection but it is impossible to tell while listening. This is one of the best things J.G. Thirlwell has ever put his name to...To be honest, I am surprised that I enjoy this album as much as I do, even after I loved Love so much. Damp is a fantastic disc, showing that Foetus is not only still as strong as ever but I feel he is surpassing himself."—John Kealy, Brainwashed

Manorexia - The Radiolarian Ooze
The Radiolarian Ooze - click for album info Sometimes darkly disorienting, sometimes rhythmic and occasionally almost treading on Steroid Maximus territory, The Radiolarian Ooze's first eight pieces gradually build to a frenzy, culminating in an epic eleven-minute-plus chase-opera. The final four pieces are beautiful and twisted and enveloping, sometimes best listened to in a semi-somnambulistic state.

Steroid Maximus - Ectopia
Ectopia The latest  Steroid Maximus album travels sinuously through warped collisions of blaxploitation, crime drama, chase, suspense and mystery.

Released on Mike Patton's Ipecac label.
"For someone like me who cherishes instrumental music, and what it can say without words, Ectopia is like a long-awaited prize. I admired Thirlwell's prior Steroid Maximus releases, but with this one he's combined all of the big band bombast of those with a wider sound palette and a perfect feel for dynamics. Each song is structured just so, and the album perfectly balances quiet moods with outbursts of energy. As much as I love the Foetus releases, and was impressed by the recent Manorexia album, this is certainly one of Thirlwell's finest achievements."-Mason jones, Dusted

Foetus - FLOW
FLOW

The mighty millenial debut features eleven fresh monsterpieces from the driving hits "Need Machine" and "Quick Fix" to the dramatic churning epics "Mandelay" and "Kreibabe" to the cinematic bombast of "Suspect:" and breakneck bigband of "Heuldoch" this is an exhausting,
exhaustive roller coaster thru the fevered imagination of JG Thirlwell.

"Equal doses of rock thunder and jazzy sleaze, spiked with orchestral grandeur and vocal dynamite set the stage for 1000 petty crimes, prostitution, gambling, divorce, dipsomania, assaults, bribery, craven depravity, driving while putting on your makeup and talking on the cell phone**, mayhem and murder......Flow is more than an album - it's an extravaganza!
