Released DECEMBER 14th, 2004

(SLR26) LATER DAYS - Songs of the Watchmaker CD
Wayne Jackson (aka Later Days) is intrigued by the
complexity of emergent systems, both natural and
computational. In the summer, this fascination leads
him to create obscure computer music software.
In the winter, it sends him outside to hunt mushrooms.
Songs of the Watchmaker is his debut full-length,
which follows his 3”CD "Do" on the esteemed Irish
label Fallt. Working with his own custom built
software, Wayne has created a sinister yet playful
album of squiggly audio drawings harvested from his
sonic garden.

(SLR31) LIM - Embracing Hush 3"CDR
Lim (aka Darren Milos) is a young musician from
Conneticut who, in his own words, created the songs on
Embracing Hush using a "15 second flute sample from
this New Haven, CT. kind of prog/psych band, that my
mom's friend gave me an LP of." That's ok by us
because the results are a gorgeous set of glassy loops
(stretching out to infinity) and dubbed out strains of
static. A fine debut indeed.

Recently released:

(SLR22) Chuck Bettis - Sonic Sigils 3"CD
there is some kinda menacing magick at work here,
harsh ambience inspired by the by the
pacifist/psychological technique of calming people in
heated conversations by catching up to the breathing
of the upset person, then slowly, by utilizing your
own breathing, slowing down their breathing by slowing
down your own.

(SLR27) Psychon - Apocalypse has been dubbed the
weekend pill CD (co-release w/ Narrominded, NL)
Dutch group do freejazz, krautrock, ambient,
electronica and arenarock.
