"The Crackle Of My Soul" is officially released today on Mego Records.
Described by Cinder as "poésie noise minimale" in a recent interview for Elegy
Magazine,this is Cindytalk first album since the 1995 release of `Wappinschaw".
Join this journey of memories and premonitions,of shadows for possible
futures...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Since the early `80s, Cindytalk has transformed from post-punk band to
experimental electronic improvisation ensemble. Eight years in the making, The
Crackle of My Soul marks a new transformation of Cindytalk's sound, a new step
in the abstraction of the group's music. The sheer fact that it is released by
Editions Mego (synonymous with glitch electronica and experimental noise) is a
sign one shouldn't ignore. For this outing, Gordon Sharp has worked alone, in
three different studios, to concoct a gorgeous set of shimmering high
frequencies, delicate rumblings, and obliterating white noise. Forget the
song-based approach of the early days: this is sound-sculpting, the
transmogrification of raw thoughts into sounds without harnessing them to
melodies or beats. The music on The Crackle of My Soul has the depth of
Fennesz's best work but some of the harshness found in the works of Kevin Drumm
and Pita. It's a subtle blend, a heady one too, as the album takes you on a
continuous journey, all tracks sounding like variations on a single theme
(except for a quiet piano-based piece). "Signalling Through the Flames" and
"Transgender Warrior" (the latter previously released on a 7" EP) are the
highlights, but the overall quality of this album is very high, and it is clear
that a lot of thought and care have been put into its composition. An impressive
comeback."

some of the best news all year


[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

http://of-ghosts-and-buildings.blogspot.com/2009/08/mego-press-release.html#link\
s

after a terribly sad and painful 2008 - a year which saw the passing of our
dearest friend matt kinnison and also the theft of our back catalogue by italian
robbers abraxas records (they even stole the name wheesht for the current
re-issues of "camouflage heart" and "in this world".please stop buying these
records as they were part of a calculated rip-off) - 2009 is shaping up to be a
much more productive and heartening year...


we are delighted to announce that CINDYTALK will be releasing three albums with
possibly our favourite record label in the world - editions MEGO.for me
personally, this is one of the highest moments of a 33 year long musical
journey.praxis is the only label i have previously been this excited to have had
an association with.eMEGO will be releasing "THE CRACKLE OF MY SOUL" on the 2nd
of november 2009 and will follow that with "UP HERE IN THE CLOUDS" in early
2010.the third album "HOLD EVERYTHING DEAR" still needs a little tweaking but
will hopefully be released between spring and summer 2010.these albums are, in
the main, abstract computer electronics and will hopefully help to reposition
cindytalk musically.

we are equally thrilled to announce that we will be taking our brand of abstract
electronics and live band organics to FRANCE,SWITZERLAND & SCOTLAND in october
this year.a short tour has been organised with friends in those countries and we
are all very much looking forward to the experience.hope to see you there...


it will be especially thrilling for me to play in EDINBURGH.cindytalk started
life there in 1982 but moved to london soon after.the last time i performed in
my home country was in 1981,with the freeze.2009 will definately be a homecoming
year for cindytalk... can't wait.

tR6 : still life
a compilation of pre-punk influences (1972-1976).
"this includes my most important influences
from that period; the music on this compilation
was the pop music of my childhood,
by and large, it still inspires me today."

I'd like to know what's on this. i have a few suspicions: Roxy Music, Cockney
Rebel, Van Der Graaf Generator, Can, and Bay City Rollers (ha!).

Hello Kestucio and thanks for mentioning this again.
You can find a bit more here:
http://of-ghosts-and-buildings.blogspot.com/2007/04/rare-hearsay.html
The two tracks are in the player already.
More info on Cocteaus and Sharp:

Hello, just found early Cocteau Twins live
recording<http://noisejunkie.blogspot.com/2008/10/cocteau-twins-live-at-venue-lo\
ndon-1982.html>with
Gordon Sharp in two songs, enjoy and happy Christmas!

Thanks a lot Matteo!

Hi.

Just for Italians around and maybe for Drekka (or anyway you may
translate it with Babelfish), I wrote this review of "Silver Shoals of
Light":

From Cindytalk's myspace blog:
"We decided that our LUMINAIRE gig wasn't quite right! We decided that we needed
to play
again this year!!! So we accepted a gig at the ludicrously named The GAFF on
Holloway Road
in north London.It's a Subterraneans gig but they have invited us to play
alongside them and
SPC ECO who are apparently three fifths of CURVE.Well,Curve don't mean a lot to
us but
DEBBIE SMITH of Curve/SPC ECO and Echobelly was in one of London's first lesbian
punk
bands MOUTH ALMIGHTY alongside CINDYTALK'S DEBBIE WRIGHT and that does mean
something so we are most happy to to do this Xmas gig.Oh and GUY EVANS the
drummer in
SUBTERRANEANS was in in the legendary VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR
who i went to see live many times in the mid-1970's and who were a fairly strong
influence
on the music of the FREEZE and CINDYTALK,so that also means something to me
personally.
Bloody Nora!!!

Today sees the official release of "SilverShoalsOfLight" on
Bluesanct Records.
This 10" vinyl is a limited edition of only 500 copies on black vinyl
with a screenprinted b-side and letter-pressed sleeve.
The sleeve was created by Chicago-based Rebecca Ann Rakstad of
Rar Rar Press.
Rebecca does letterpress printing using handset wood and metal type
and a Vandercook Universal I press to stunning results.
Some photos of the printing process can be seen here:
http://of-ghosts-and-buildings.blogspot.com/

The release coincides with Cindytalk's gig tonight at London's
Luminaire which Time Out magazine has listed in their Critics' Choice
section.
https//www.timeout.com/london/music
events/825879%20%20cindytalk_john_and_jehn_tenebrous_liar.html

Forwarded msg from Bluesanct:

We are finally ready to begin the pre-sell on this GORGEOUS 10" by CINDYTALK.

I am sorry for the delays, but we wanted this to be perfect, and couldn't
lock on a price until all the pieces were in place and we could assess the
actual cost of the record.

CINDYTALK will be having a release party for the record in LONDON on
October 12th... I, sadly, will not be able to attend.  But, I will instead
mail all your pre-orders that morning in celebration of the event.

For more info on the show, for those in the area:
http://www.theluminaire.co.uk/live-music-October-2008-834.php

In the next few days, I will be updating the BLUESANCT page with the
pre-sell info and photos of the record and all that.  But, for all you who
have been waiting so patiently, I thought I'd shoot you a first chance
head start.

Here is the ordering info.  Feel free to contact me directly with any
questions.

earlier
this year.

Hello Bauke!
I asked the label themselves a few days ago and they said that it is VERY close
to being
finished.
Once they get the bill for the last bit of printing, they will be able to figure
out
prices and start the pre-sale.
According to Bluesanct,"this is by far our most beautiful release"
so I would recommend pre-ordering the copies asap!
It is going to be a little work of art...

A memorial celebration for Matt Kinnison will take place today in London's
Natural History Museum.
My thoughts are with all those attending.
Matt,your music and presence live on.

http://www.bluesanct.com/inri084preorder.html

anyone knows the current status of this one?

thnx,
bauke / law-rah

Cindytalk will be playing live at London's Luminaire on October 12th.
