Vinyl version: "Blues Control might just be the missing link between Van Halen and Henry Flynt. They are a duo. Lea Cho plays swank but grounded atmospheric keyboard parts [think Harold Budd] for guitar player and manipulator of assorted junk-on-table Russ Waterhouse to cut through, whittle and lay waste to. It's a hazy, spaced world that exists between fuzzed distortion, jabbering electronics, a lazy stay-in-bed psychedelic glaze, with rhythmic keyboards pulsating below it all a la a guy named Florian-and you can choose which one you want. Oh yeah, did I mention the humid bikini-vibe that permeates the entire album? So is there a blues angle to it? Yeah, but you've got to bury yourself in it or dig your way in. Come out stinking if you want." - HM.

Terrific two cassette overview that bundles a ton of OOP releases from the duo of Russ Waterhouse and Lea Cho, also of Blues Control. Watersports is dedicated to minimal devotional music using simple synth, bells, gongs and and percussion to generate a music that has a great Zen simplicity combined with a ton of mysterious depth. Somewhere between JD Emmanuel and Go Hirano, this is lonely music for zoned meditations that is extremely effective. This nicely packaged double cassette set includes their releases on Not Not Fun, Arbor, White Tapes, Breaking World Records, Hank Recordings, and Ore Records plus a live performance on WFMU. Comes with a download coupon. A magical, deep-listening set. Recommended.

Nicely done reissue of what was originally a cassette on Fuck It Tapes, this time around with a cardstock outer case, double-sided silkscreened J-card and a gold ink insert: duo guitar/tapes and harmonica/piano jams from Lea Cho and Russ Waterhouse that generate celestial, watery progressive/psych stuns and beautiful puffs of minimal melody while drums churn like flinty boulders wrestling in a deep bucket. Some of the piano sounds a little like Michael Rother's Neu work, and there's a nice lost/teutonic feel to much of this muzzy beauty. Edition of 175 copies, already sold out at source. 

40 minute live session recorded for WFMU with the duo of Lea Cho and Russ Waterhouse playing deep, orchestral psychedelic drone works cut-up with almost Ferraro-esque FM rock piracy and cheap celestial keyboards complete with slow vocal exhalations. Beautifully confusing. Comes with silkscreened J-cards.
