Piehead Records Newsletter for August, 2004 :::::::::::::::: NEW RELEASE ::: The latest album in our 2004 limited edition series is now available: PIE032 : ml : _Man is the Warmest Place to Hide_ With their release _Man is the Warmest Place to Hide_, electronic musicans ml have asked the question "what would John Carpenter do?" This is not an imaginary soundtrack or a cover album, but a collection of songs inspired by early John Carpenter scores. The end result is an album that doesn't quite sound like a 70s electronic film score, nor a 21st century Autechre ripoff, but floats somewhere in between. Simple basslines, polythymic clicks, tom rolls, and swaggering synths all combine to form something that can only be described as "these guys really want to sound like John Carpenter." ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie032.html :::::::::::::::: MAIL ORDER UPDATE ::: There have been a couple of new items recently added to the Piehead Mail Order department: hellothisisalex : _across the river twin_ : alectric records The duo returns with their first full album in over two years, featuring nine tracks of the melodic electronic tunes you know and love. Limited to 150 copies, each packaged in a handmade pouch with sewn-in photo inserts. ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/mailorder/alectric Tasman Richardson : _Basement Boy Hardcore_ DVD : FameFame This DVD album features seven breakcore video mash-up tracks composed entirely with edits. No additional soundtrack, no editing to a beat. What you see is what you hear. This album catapults the art of scratch video to a new plateau and is Tasman's signature throw down to the rest of the scratch video world. ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/mailorder/famefame :::::::::::::::: OTHER NEWS ::: A great interview with John Chantler has been posted to the UK based music website The Milk Factory, along with a review of his Piehead release _Locked In Hands_. John is also planning to do some touring this autumn, with North American dates being a strong possibility.
