New Releases

Over the last week or so I have been working on two new releases.The first of these is by The End Springs and called "There Lies The Electric Reasons".Usually The End Springs music is acoustic based.On this cdr you get seven new interpretations of songs played in a hazy psychedelic electric style which adds a new twist. 

The second release is by Harvey Lord & Dave George.You will know Harvey Lord from his excellent debut "Weighted Down" cdr on Reverb Worship.This time Harvey has recorded a superb ambient style piece of music with Dave George as a duo entitled "Static".Harvey and Dave are members of the Electric Free Time Machine."Static" is one long sixty minute track which contains some lovely acoustic guitar playing which morphs in an and out of ethereal ambient drones and found sounds.

Both of these releases will be available in the next few days (hopefully).If you would like these and/or the second edition of the LSD March "Jurando" cdr I do a combined postage cost.

30/6/2008:

New Releases

I am finally very pleased to be able to tell you that the temples "Serpentine" album is now back from being remastered in the USA.Although I say so myself it sounds awesome.The album has two long drone tracks entitled "Somnambulance" and "Almost Endless" sound sourced from a cassette of duo baritone guitar improvisations."The idea behind these pieces is exploring the "deafening" roar of silence and is an attempt to divorce the idea of of "heaviness" from that of "volume".This is meant to be music of sublety and patience that should be absorbed rather than listened to.Over time the music will appear". 

This is available now in an edition of 48 copies.

Please see discography section.

Im also in the process of completing three other releases at the moment.These are LSD March "Jurando",Ophibre "NNNE" and Latralmagog "Bootis".All these three releases will also be finished soon.
