Hey Kidz,
 
A lot of stuff going on lately.
 
Busy working on getting this year's Christmas disc ready.  It's a two disc set, it'll be available for free download in a couple weeks.
 
Our good friends Attrition have been chosen by the editor at UBL.COM to be entered into a competition for the UBL.COM ultimate band.  Go to www.ubl.com/nrp/content/contest/ at the bottom of the list on the editors choice.
 
Kobi is finally on Myspace with Kai's Looop project. www.myspace.com/looopno

DRONES, LOVES, HONESTIES, SOUNDS
“drones, loves, honesties, sounds” is the latest label sampler from Silber Records that features twenty two tracks from twenty two of the forty Silber releases that have been released over the past seven years. Unquestionably an ideal way to get someone well acquainted with this exceptional label, and the fact that its only $3 only sweetens the deal. Of course many of these bands shouldn’t be to unfamiliar to Lunar Hypnosis readers since fifteen of these bands have had there work reviewed here in the past.
What I really like about this compilation and the Silber Records back catalog in general is that there are lots of diverse musical styles present yet they all seem to gel so well together. We get the experimental ambient acoustic guitar drones from artists like Aarktica, Alan Sparhawk, and Vlor. There’s some more or less straightforward ambient music from If Thousands, Mike VanPortfleet, Goddakk, and Kobi, while artists like Black Happy Day, Jamie Barnes, Twelve, and Heller Mason represent the more folk/acoustic side of the Silber Records roster.
Even more curiosities come from Origami Arktika, Tara VanFlower, Clang Quartet, and Small Life Form whose music doesn’t fit in any clear genre and for simplicities sake can really only be labeled with the experimental tag. Then there’s the pop/rock/jazz fusion band Rollerball, the shoegazing bliss pop of Plumerai, the legendary darkwave sound of Lycia, and Remora the post apocalypse acoustic/ambient drone band of Silber Records owner Brian John Mitchell is also present.
Another plus side to this compilation for me personally is that the songs from Mike VanPortfleet, Plumerai, Goddakk, Remora, Jamie Barnes, Heller Mason, and Lycia are among my top favorites and are songs I listen to on a regular basis. The songs from Mike, Goddakk, Remora, and Jamie Barnes in particular are my own unsurpassed favorite songs released on Silber Records. In particular Remora’s ‘The One I’ve Been Waiting For’ is a song that always manages to make me feel really depressed with its exquisite lyrics and Lycia’s Pray, which is one of the most highly atmospheric and gorgeous songs ever wrote.
So with all that said I have nothing more to conclude with other than that there are a number of excellent songs and artists on this compilation that await you and at only $3 it’s practically free. Go dig under the couch cushions for some spare change and pick up this excellent compilation today.
