Well, seeing as I co-own the label and you all are pretty much the only
folks I know who listen to this kind of stuff, I figure I should tell
you about it. =)
Ahem...
VIS-1001 Seofon _Causal_Collapse_
Experimental hard ambient sort of dance stuff. Roughly industrial in bits....
Also includes a "song"! We've gotten lots of good response on it from the
advance copies we've given out. Much of the same material is available
on vinyl in slightly different form: _Access_e.p._ (VIS-103) and
_Process_e.p._ (VIS-108). The latter includes "Timeloose", the only
Seofon track that's on vinyl but not on the album, and (unfortunately)
also my favorite.
VIS-1002 Various _In_Sight_Volume_1_
A collection of stuff from our vinyl catalog. Not really much stuff
on here that I'd recommend for you guys, as much of it is more strictly
dance stuff. The ATOI Mystery School track is definitely interesting, tho.
VIS-1003 _Aonox_ by Joey Beltram
No, Beltram hasn't "gone ambient" but this is definitely _not_ 4-on-the-
floor dance stuff. Dark, edgy, tweaky ambient beats. Reminds me of
Locust in a way, though rather harder. Very coherent album.
SR 9466 Ambient Temple of Imagination: Mystery School
Unique collages of drones, beats, and spoken word with a focus on occult
mysticism. Very texturally oriented stuff, but by no means background
music. Definitely something interesting and unusual. As you can tell
by the catalog number, we did this as a co-release with Silent Records.
So that's the scoop. I don't want to insult your intelligence by hyping
these albums (aside from the fact that it's my job), but I do
personally recommend them. If anyone wants any more info, please send
me a private message, and if anyone wants to look for these CDs, we're
distributed by Watts, Silent/PulseSoniq, Edie, and City Hall.
Cheerio!
