Crystal Plumage - Elizabeth Lake cdr

Crystal Plumage - Elizabeth Lake (siht23) (SOLD OUT)
date of release: 05.05.2009
format: cdr
copies: 30
info: Crystal Plumage are the duo of Benjamin Laurent Aman on guitars & electronics
and Sean Fergus Barrett on electronics & oscillators. They are from Berlin by way of Los Angeles, and make some amazing electroacoustic music. This release is a single 30+ minute track that treads somewhere between minimal drone and musique concrète. A recording such as this has as much to do with Dylan Carson as it does John Cage.

Sonic Suicide Squad - With This Dream Death Shall Come cdr

S.S.S. - With This Dream Death Shall Come (siht21) (SOLD OUT)
date of release: 05.05.2009
format: cdr
copies: 50
Info: Sonic Suicide Squad are Vinnie Paternostro on Tenor Sax, Sam Lohman on Drums, and Jon Simler doing Live Acoustic Manipulations. They play righteously raunchy free jazz that has more teeth than a great white shark. From heavy grooves to skronk and scree, this disc will shred your ears and coddle your brain. These guys just got back from tour with Acid Mothers Temple, so you better grab this while you can.
