this is Thunderegg's crowning four-track achievement and
surely one of the medium's classic albums. Includes great
songs like "Even as You Walk Away," "Skeletons,"
"To See Things Begin," and "Say We Did,"
a duet with Mascott's Kendall Meade. Printed in a limited
first-run quantity of 100 homemade copies. $10 including

A
Very Fine Sample of What's Available at the Mine
(March 2005) |
TRACK
LISTING + LYRICS |
|
|
The
long-awaited full-band debut from Thunderegg features ten
favorites recorded between 2001 and 2004 by Nathan Gohla
in and around Hartford, Connecticut. In addition to Will
on guitar and vocals, Jake on bass, and Keith on drums,
A Very Fine Sample also features guest appearances
by Jonathan Chatfield (keyboards), Tom Colligan (guitar),
Tim Kane (trumpet), and Nate himself (guitar). Accessible,
smart, and 100 percent do-it-yourself, this is the kind
of straightforward, head-nodding rock album people don't
really make anymore. $8 including postage; 10 tracks; 40:44.

Sweetest
One: The Three-track Demos
(November 2004) |
TRACK
LISTING + LYRICS |
(Not
available for individual sale)
|
|
This
is the great lost album that further accounts for Thunderegg's
whereabouts from 2001 to 2004. By the time it was recorded,
the old reliable Porta07 four-track was pretty much worn
out. Crackly connections, buzzing, lots of hiss. Plus, we
used only three of the machine's four available tracks,
so everything got squished. Despite all this, Sweetest
One contains some of the best Thunderegg songs ever.
You can get it in its entirety on the mp3 anthology Open
Book. 12 tracks; 48:36. Commercially available only
as part of Open Book.

The
Envelope Pushes Back
(October 2000) |
TRACK
LISTING + LYRICS |
|
|
With
upwards of 150 homemade copies in circulation, this comeback
album brought Thunderegg its first taste of critical and
even international respect. Quite possibly the most encouraging
sign is that everyone seems to have a different favorite
song: Chris likes "Pardon Your French," Alicia likes "If
I Went on a Diet," Tyler likes "Tomorrow I'll Change," Ken
likes "In the Loft," and Aristides likes "The Second Coffer"
while Patty likes "(Do) The Curfew." In addition, the rare
B-side to "Diet," "What About (The Children),"
is appended here, along with retooled versions of "What
Was I Gonna Do?" and "Planetarium." $8 including
postage; 16 tracks; 58:08. Only 14 copies left.

In
Yanistin (September 2000)
|
TRACK
LISTING + LYRICS |
|
|
An
obsessive, conceptual Powder to the People, this
second fragment album hones the mediums style to a
jagged point on numbers that would eventually become "The
Envelope Pushes Back," "Your Pretty Little Angels,"
"The Scheduled Show," and "(I Was a) Long
Way from Home"interspersed with a bunch of promising
melodies, some underrated minisongs ("Burnin,
Burnin," "Thanks for the Great Performance
[In My Dreams]," "In Yanistin," "Glockenspiel
Song"), and a dictaphones chronicle of some shit
seriously gone wrong. $8 including postage; 43 tracks; 66:49.
Only 23 copies left.

Powder
to the People (August 1998) |
TRACK
LISTING + LYRICS |
|
| A
crooked bakers three-dozen tunes recorded over a two-week
period in the summer of 1998, this music was originally intended
for internal use onlyits a bunch of fragments
and songs in progress. This album has its detractors, but
you'll find early sketches of some classic Egg here ("In
the Loft," "Keep It with You," "This Is
What I Saw," "Tomorrow Ill Change"),
and since the songs are so short, it's good for car trips
and moody days when you dont know what you feel like
listening to. $5 including postage; 35 tracks; 47:33. Only
9 copies left. |

Season," "There Should Be Wheels on Everything,"

start. $8 including postage; 24 tracks; 73:29. Only 16 copies

Personnel
Envelo-File (February 1997) |
TRACK
LISTING + LYRICS |
|
| This
fan favorite is the ideal nexus between the early albums
batty enthusiasm and the later releases more straightforward
songwriting. Bulls-eyes here include "Cop on a Horse,"
"Double Reverse," "Will Bite," "The
Building of the Bed," and the one-two punch of "Theyre
All Rats" and "My Mad Hatter," which marks
the addition of bass guitar to the mix. $8 including postage;
27 tracks; 73:44. Only 30 copies left. |

New
England Music (May 1996) |
TRACK
LISTING + LYRICS |
|
| Recorded
during the record-snowfall winter of 1995-96 and featuring
(relatively) embellished instrumentation and an overall looser
feel than the other recordings, this follow-up effort has
sometimes been seen as the Egg's most prolonged exercise in
slack. But underneath that looseness lies a vein of pretty
songs, including "Supergirlfriend," "Around
Mountain," and "Penned In." The imminent calling-card
beats of the Dr. Rhythm drum machine make their debut here
as well. $8 including postage; 27 tracks; 70:48. Only 22 copies
left. |

Nut (November 1995) |
TRACK

scruffy debut, originally released as an uncredited 90-minute
cassette in the fall of 1995. Contains such Larry-era classics
as "Christy Pickle," "Ephemeral," and
"Just Another Joe" alongside sleepers like "Always
Forget You," "Truce," "The Boat on Home
to You," and the hard-hitting opener, "Pillowcase."
27 tracks; 71:59. We have no copies left, but it's included
