Kreiselwelle
"...[as] for the ultra-fantastic soundwork of Irr. App. (Ext.), this Californian composer has been baffling and perplexing the ears of international listeners for not a few years now, and his new Kreiselwelle, a single 45-minute work of strange process music, is a slow voyage into the unknown. Within minutes, we're taken far beyond the relatively familiar world of "dark ambient" and enter a murky field of immersive and twisted shapes, where possible danger lurks at every corner. Conceptually rooted in an interpretation of the works of Wilhelm Reich, Kreiselwelle is the third part of a trilogy and connect with the "spiral waves" of the title, derived all of its sounds from things shaped like spirals (such as metal springs, or the circular movement of the ocean). In like manner, M. S. Waldron's composition will probably suck you into a whirlpool of doubt and ambiguity." -- Ed Pinsent / The Sound Projector
What's more that we could say about this excellent album from Nurse With Wound cohort M.S. Waldron?

Murmer
We Share a Shadow
I wonder if any of you expected these to return to print. But a happy accident at our pressing plant yielded an extra batch of discs for which we needed to fabricate another round of artwork. Yes, is the same meticulously hand watercolored artwork overprinted with letterpress image and text. Murmer is the pseudonym for Patrick McGinley, an impeccable field recordist and deft composer of high calibre dronemusik. We Share a Shadow is McGinley's finest work, if I can be so bold in claiming; and this album has been out of print for nearly a year now.

The Otolith CD
Mr. Chasse of Jewelled Antler fame and --for those of you well-versed in the publications of the Helen Scarsdale Agency -- of Coelacanth fame delivered us a collaborative album with Michale Northam that is sodden from numerous marches out in the wilderness. These recordings developed out of wanderings in California, Estonia, France, and other places here and yonder. Expect the tactile grit to embed into drones and the hints of a distant psychedelic folk tune whisper in the shadows.
