Seht - Goodbye, America, And Have A Nice Day

2002 cdr co-released on Palindrone and Antony Milton's PseudoArcana.

This was originally commissioned and created for the 'Connected' exhibition in Wellington NZ and uses 'Dronemusic' as a point of departure.

"This is very minimal with lots of incidental clatter and totally random noise. Sounds a bit like some guy cleaning/re-arranging his kitchen, with lots of thumps and bumps and clicks and even some bird calls(!). After about 10 minutes, the drones finally make their presence known. Joined gradually by warbly guitars and wisps of melodies. But almost as soon as they're there, they disappear again. Then it's back to the ambient clatter, discussions, room sound. A reverby piano or buzzing harpsichord surface occasionally, but it always seems to return to our house cleaning, room tidying protagonist. Very strange..." [Aquarius Records]

Very excellent!

Have A Nice Day

Thoughts On Air - Vent

CDr from the early history of David Payne's Middle James Co label (2007 actually).

Thoughts On Air is the work of Scott Johnson who you should also know from his work as (amongst others) Hunting Rituals.

Vent

Mossy Throats – Microbe Shower

Excellent piece of work from Daniel Dlugosielski on his own Excite Bike label. This is the 3xc30 set that was released in an edition of 4 in 2009 and re-self-released a year later as a c90. As far as I know, that was because people contacted Daniel asking if he would rip them a copy. Being a very decent human, he did this very affordably as a c90 tape (the jpeg is this version). The c90 shows on discogs as an edition of 1. It wasn't...

Moth Drakula - Tree Of Sores

It looks like there is a lot of money to be made on the internet! Major label copyright holders are now subcontracting their DMCA takedowns. Everything is now liable to be taken down and filehost accounts suspended based upon a single random word that appears in their blanket approach. The World Wide Web...Land Of The Free! No...the land of corporate exploitation!

This 7" on Static Aktion from 2006 is the sound I would love them to be subjected to in a 24/7 tinnitus response. If only...
