INFO:
"1000 corrections per second" is the 3rd full length release by Lowfish,
Suction Records co-founder and full-time robot, Gregory De Rocher.
Lowfishis also well known for his recent "Accident Causer" EP on
Detroit's Ersatz Audio label. Lowfish strives to produce raw, precise,
stripped down melodic electronic music with beats. "1000 corrections
per second" is a concept inspired both by the possibility of extreme
quantization, and the amount of times Lowfish's mind changes during
the creative process.
From the pure melodic synth pop of "Glass House" and "Fric Frac",
to the punishing dance floor electro/EBM stomp of "Photo Disintegration"
and "Around the Neck"; from the intricate artificial intelligence of "Air of
Supremacy" and "Black on White on Black", to the lush ambience of "50
percent Feeling" and "Step Step"; "1000 corrections per second" is a
diverse,yet cohesive serving of modern synthesizer music.
You will dance, you will cry.
Thirteen songs, three synthesizers, one drum machine, no vocals, no
gimmicks- Lowfish delivers it pure!

SECTION-002: SUCTION RECORDS new in November:
Coming Tuesday, November 11, 2003:
artist: THE MITGANG AUDIO
title: "The View from Your New Home"
format: full-length CD / 12" vinyl sampler
cat#: suction019
INFO:
Suction Records is proud to present "The View from Your New Home,
"the debut full-length release by The Mitgang Audio. This is suction019.
The Mitgang Audio is the solo project of Ray Sweeten, temporarily
residing in a windowless room in Brooklyn, NYC. Ray Sweeten is also
known for his musical contributions to the Sesame Street program
(seriously), and as a member of the NYC synthpop/multimedia-
performance band, The Plantains.
"The View from Your New Home" is a stunning collection of music as
diverse as The Mitgang Audio's influences: Ultravox, Wendy Carlos,
Alexander Robotnik, Thomas Tallis, Giorgio Moroder, The Slits,... In case
you haven't guessed it yet, this is not your standard Suction Records
release. We haven't heard anything quite like this in fact, & neither have you.
First, there are the dance-floor pop anthems: "Minor Causes", "Binary Life",
"Stelle Di Radio" and "La Mantide": glossy, throbbing disco sequences, and
icy robotic vocals never sounded quite like this before: somehow foreign,
yet irresitible, electropop perfection. And this is not the only trick up
The Mitgang Audio's sleeve: Mitgang also delivers surreal IDM vocoder
arias ("Passenger Perspective", "Forme"), introspective ambient
composition (the title track), and Vince Clarke-ian disco ("Tokyo-Scope").
"The View from Your New Home" is anything but a typical debut release!
Italy is an important influence on the music of The Mitgang Audio, which
originated during a 2-year residency at the Villa Fanna, Catena di Villorba:
4 of the 7 vocal tracks are sung in Italian, recalling an abandoned chateau
high in the Italian Alps overlooking an improbable Alpine city: "Presently,
a synthetic recitative rings out over an obsessive Jupiter-6 bass line and
robotic disco beat. Secret lives unfurl, boundaries are psychically
transgressed, and love is slowly washed, hundreds of miles away,
to the sea.
We invite you to luxuriate in The View from Your New Home. . ."
CD TRACKLIST:
1. minor causes
2. passenger perspective
3. tokyo-scope
4. soldato
5. the escape
6. binary life
7. forme
8. la mantide
9. stelle di radio
10. the view from your new home
12" TRACKLIST:
a1. minor causes
a2. passenger perspective
a3. tokyo-scope
B1. la mantide
B2. binary life

SECTION-003: new interview with LOWFISH and SOLVENT @ Phinnweb.
"SUCTION RECORDS: The Dignity of Labour of Love"
16 September 2003 -- Suction Records from Toronto, Canada, is one of
pHinnWeb's personal favourite labels at the moment; like Detroit's Ersatz
Audio, releasing a continuously unerring line of combination of
finely-honed synthpop, electro and IDM, and taking the late 1970s'
and early 1980s' most beloved analogue electronic sounds to the new
millennium's post-techno generation. . . .

SECTION-004: more BUY DIRECT updates.
NEW Genetic Music (Germany) releases available N O W . . .
http://www.suctionrecords.com/buy/direct.html
TELEVISION SET - "Moscow at Midnight"
GEN016 full-length 12" vinyl.
Skanfrom side-project. It sounds like Skanfrom to us! Maybe a bit darker,
more rough, and more vocal tracks in a wave style. This is Cold Wave! This
is Cold Wave! Includes a fantastic cover version of an unreleased early
Depeche Mode track, "Television Set", which is better than the original,
we thinks. Recommended!
BAARD - "Life in a Goldfish Bowl"
GEN012 7" single.
Re-release of the fantastic minimal electronic 7" from 1982 (originally
released on Apollo Records, Sweden). This single was an early release of
Alexander Bard, whose later projects included Army Of Lovers. These two
songs have reached cult status for many 80's minimal electronic fans!
Solvent recommends it for the cool B-side track!
