Spraggadat & Pirre. Ending. 3"CDR
Tense and nervous soundscapes, this is new noise for a new day. The 
mysteriously
named group responsible for the online release Elsewhere and Otherwise 
weighs in
with a new EP of heavy digital drones that unfold slowly and then flicker 
out.
Listen loudly at night

Living Ornaments. Klonten ep. 3"CDR
Dutch duo of Coen and Lars (also run Narrominded Records and are members of
Psychon Troopers) follow up their critically acclaimed "Ribbels" 12" with 20
minutes of post drum and bass reflections. Fragmented piano figures, 
acoustic
guitar and a swingtime marching band all poke their heads up, while a keen 
pop
sensibility holds it all together. This is rural electronics for the 
romantic
soul. Absolutely tuned in!

Mikroknytes. Live @ Sonic Circuits 2003. 3"CDR
A stunning, disorienting, and beautiful improvisation remix of the Crank
Automotive album "live_src" keywords: barbed-wire, violin, idea 
manufacturing.
Recorded live in Washington DC.

Hearse. Dead On Audio 3"CDR
A no-fi destroyed bliss masterpiece. Created 06-07.2001, edited 06.2003 2
tracks, 20 minutes of dead on audio. Two specially prepared cdr's played
together on different stereos and captured with $10 microphones. We like to 
call
it beauty on a budget, perhaps you will agree? While the material presented 
here
is hectic and disorienting, there is a sublime beauty lurking beneath the 
random
configurations. The immediacy of the sounds, and the feeling of standing in 
the
room as the music unfolds, lends a depth to this collection of a sonorous
soundscapes.

Slinger. F is for Flame-thrower. CDR
Collects a live recording from the Eyedrum, Atlanta, Ga, the (16:41:26) 
mp3's
[released as Scarcelight catalog number (slr07) ] + brand new studio 
creations.
The live track presented here begins with a shuddering trap of a snare, and
microphone feedback; over the course of 20 minutes a ragged deconstruction 
of
rhythm ensues. The quietness of the venue, the occasional rustling of a 
chair or
someone clearing the throat all become part of the material. A breathing, 
moving
formless mass that hangs heavy in the air. All the sounds on this disc were
created by drummer Brad Davis (also a member of the "rock & yell" trio 
'Plate
Six') improvising on a small 3 piece drum kit, an assortment of cracked 
cymbals,
& even a helium tank! The drum kit was mic-ed and the signal fed to Chris
Jeely's (aka Accelera Deck) computer where it was manipulated and 
rebroadcast
over the PA. The new songs and the (16:41:26) tracks build hypnotically on
subtle textures, others roar ahead with ferocity. Slinger has unknowingly
invented the genre of drum and damage.

Vrm. Fell 3"CDR
Stylus magazine called it "Fennesz via Slayer guitar carnage"....We knew we 
had
a hit.
