album traveling from the north to south, overlapping the images of transition of the four seasons. In reality, indeed one things always leads to an end
and I feel sad every time I think about that. In this album, we tried to express this sorrow feeling changing gradually into hope as we travel south.
Seasons have no end. It always moves from spring, summer, autumn, winter back to spring.. And just like the changing seasons, the tracks in this
album constantly shifts another and the last piece connects to the very beginning which forms the never ending circle. We have expressed the images
of these “endings” with “never endings” by music.

about the band in their 10th anniversary, at the price of a single CD. Before they start writing new material for their fifth album, due out in 2009, they

moment) and recording five new covers of some of their most influential artists, such as Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo, Nick Cave, The Smiths, The
Dream Syndicate, The Velvet Underground or The Small Faces. What’s the meaning behind a record like Feedback? Looking back at your past

Ruhlmann,Mathieu & Celer Mesoscaphe 4560267290140 $23.97 CD Electronic
A beautiful collaboration album by sound artists Mathieu Ruhlamm (CAN) and Celer (US). ‘Mesoscaphe’ is a sound work dedicated to The 1969
voyage of the Ben Franklin, the naturally-propelled submarine created to explore the currents of the Gulf Stream, and the nature of the sea. Half of
the sound is composed of original pieces of music, meant to symbolize a deepening human element culled from memory, from strings, pianos, and
electronics. The other half of the sound is composed of natural field recordings, of the Ben Franklin itself, as well as the surrounding oceans and
habitats, with the intention of providing realism through sound, just as if it were an actual document from the voyage, of the surrounding ocean.
Sato/Asuna Texture In Glass Tubes & Reed Organ 4560267290126 $23.97 CD Electronic
2 meltingly beautiful drone pieces made between 2 great Japanese artists Sato Minoru (WrK) and ASUNA (Lucky Kitchen, Power Shovel Audio..). We
have been performing ‘’music’’ focusing on the materialistic nature (physical phenomena) of sounds by utilizing the reed organ and glass tubes. Our
music is composed and constructed in such a way that however the phenomena we use reacts with the circumstances of the space - the situation of
the site including the audience - our live performance involves and uses these conditions. Since these compositions are studio recordings however,
we decided to exclude acoustic spatial matters and the ‘one-time-ness’ of live performances and instead composed the structure of resonances
within certain divisions of time. This is similar to textiles - weaving ‘’resonances’’, rather than thread, in certain patterns. “Superposing five harmonic
states” was developed by recording five harmonic states separately. Each of the harmonies was obtained by finding the characteristic sound effect

Spiral Ascention Land Sea & Sky 842614016325 $15.97 CD New Age
Tribal virtuoso musician extraordinaire, Carl Roessler, and master Guitarist Clive Wright are Spiral Ascension. Clive has recorded a record with Harold
Budd, which will be out on Darla in Fall 2008. Their wonderful debut recording is a refreshing addition to recent releases hearkening to the birth of a
new, alternative world genre. It is fitting that the Image on the CD was captured during a recent lunar eclipse as it cast their shadows on the desert
floor. Spiral Ascension is a fusion of sweeping, synthesizer-driven soundscape beds, overlaid with digitally delayed guitar, richly textured native wind
instruments and breezy percussion. Wright is a master of the ebow which he used to effect the disc’s distinctive guitar sound. With elements drawn
from the Brian Eno/Harold Budd ambient sector, Spiral Ascension mix of modern and indigenous instrumentation also speaks to a kind of future/
primitive fusion.
