Good morning,

I'm happy to announce four new releases! First, on Larkfall, is the
Reynardine compilation. 14 tracks by 13 folk/drone/experimental-type
artists. Here's the track listing:

	 1. Reynardine’s Dance - Xenis Emputae Travelling Band
	 2. Prelati’s Grimoire: The Book of Werewolves – Fulcanelli
	 3. Child Destruction – Violence Beyond the Snowline
	 4. Smile Like a Knife – Remora
	 5. In Reynard’s Garden – Far Black Furlong
	 6. Memory Rides Like A Fox – throuRoof
	 7. The Slaying of Cuwaert – Where Rivers End
	 8. Mellow Harm - Lanterns
	 9. Hulijing Shadow Theater - Medroxy Progesterone Acetate
	 10. Château-Château - él-g
	 11. In Reynard’s House – Far Black Furlong
	 12. Howl – The Day of the Antler
	 13. R & F: Soplo Animador – Anla Courtis
	 14. Wide Dark Smile – Mike Seed

The second Larkfall release is Grotto Grove and Shrine by The Pneumatic
Consort, a collection of improvisations from 2006 centred around woodwind
instruments, voice and harmonium, recorded around Lelant, Barden Fell,
Ilkley Moor and Leeds.

Today is also the official launch of the Oneiros label, a Larkfall offshoot
that will release various musics that don’t exactly fit the Larkfall
aesthetic.

First is a three-way split between Ashtray Navigations, Sonic Temple
Assassins and The Neon Death Slittes. 20 minutes by each artist. NDS bring
ropey guitar duels and half-learned, third-hand rock & roll riffs. STA
provide 5 tracks of sci-fi rockabilly, vaguely reminiscent of Suicide.
Ashtray (in this incarnation Todd & Legard) play some ridiculous primitive
boogie with violin caterwauling, followed by a wall of murky fuzz and heavy
grease.

The second Oneiros release is Valerio Cosi’s Freedom Meditation Music Vol.
II – the sequel to his recent release on Students of Decay. A very varied
album from the talented Italian musician, that sways between fusion,
cut-up/tape-loops, motorik rhythms, free improvisation, minimalism and ends
with some beautifully fuzzy noise…

Good morning!

Here are a few brief bits of Larkfall related news:

A new XETB release! Gamaaea, a 30 minute long tape on Beyond Repair -
limited to 50 copies. Seven tracks recorded between autumn 2006 and winter
2007. Each copy comes with one of five different covers.

There's also a XETB interview at the Evening of Light website, in both Dutch
and English. Thanks to Oskar Strik for asking the questions.

Finally, I'll be part of Ashtray Navigations at Ali_fib Fest 2 at Instants
Chavirés, Paris, on the 4th of March. Also on the bill are Major Stars,
Dinosaur with Horns, the legendary Little Howlin' Wolf, the
soon-to-be-legendary él-G, and R.O.T. More info at

The Reynardine compilation should be released next month. Contributors
include: English Heretic, Far Black Furlong, Mike Seed, Lanterns, Remora,
ThrouRoof, Jani Hellén, Violence Beyond the Snowline, él-g, XETB and
possibly a couple of latecomers...

Best wishes to everyone,

Happy new year to one and all!

Not that much to say in this first update, save that three out of print XETB
albums have been re-released as MP3s by Woven Wheat Whispers. They are: The
Hieroglyphic Mountain (2004), Toadsman's Bell (2005) and Stella & Astrophel
(2006). More info can be found at the main WWW website -
http://wovenwheatwhispers.co.uk/

According to the 13th Note, Glasgow website XETB are playing with Jazzfinger
and Lanterns on the 27th - I've no idea how idea this came about, since I'll
be in Manchester with Ashtray Navigations and Astral Social Club on that
night! But I'll get to Glasgow sometime this year...

The first of a few new releases should come along shortly in the form of a
XETB tape entitled Gamaaea, and the Pneumatic Consort archive cd. Hopefully
the Reynardine compilation should be wrapped up by February too!

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the folks who have subscribed to
this mailing list by offering a some free downloads from a couple of the
abovementioned new releases:
