Piehead Records Newsletter for October, 2003 Scroll down for info on OUR LATEST RELEASE ::: OTHER NEWS ::: PREVIOUS RELEASES ::: UPCOMING RELEASES ::: ORDERING/SUBSCRIPTIONS ::: :::::::::::::::: OUR LATEST RELEASE ::: PIE022 : Gridlock : _Under_ Gridlock is Mike Wells & Mike Cadoo, an American duo who are well known for producing sounds that bring together the best elements of IDM, ambient, post-industrial experimentation and more. Their _Under_ EP is a set of three moody, downtempo tracks that is another essential addition to the Gridlock discography. It should also do much to whet appetites for the long-awaited release of their new album _Formless_ which is due later this year on the Hymen label. ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie022.html Like all of the releases in our 2003 series, _Under_ is an EP-length disc on CD3", packaged with a unique Japanese paper insert and limited to 211 copies. It is available as part of a subscription to the full series, or as an individual item. Ordering details appear below. :::::::::::::::: OTHER NEWS ::: We are very close to launching our extended Piehead mail order service. It will initially feature releases from several Toronto-based indie labels who release interesting music that falls into the same loose "electronic & experimental" catagory as the Piehead catalogue. Once it's ready to go, we'll send out an announcement. We've also updated the website with info about some upcoming live events where Piehead artists will be performing. Those in Toronto, Montreal and parts in-between should check it out. ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/live.html Finally, plans are afoot for our 2004 release series. Hopefully, we'll be able to announce the details and artist line-up in next month's newsletter, if not before. :::::::::::::::: PREVIOUS RELEASES ::: The previous discs in our 2003 series are still available - check the links below for reviews and sound samples: PIE021 : Rapoon : _Ep Et Vee_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie021.html PIE020 : Mark Spybey : _I Have No Money But I Am Antonin Artaud_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie020.html PIE019 : goodnight streetlight : _the great invention of the wheel_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie019.html PIE018 : theblameshifter : _I Luv On Your Grave_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie018.html PIE017 : Ugliness Man : _Interim_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie017.html PIE016 : selfservice : _hot pixel_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie016.html PIE015 : Phasmid : _Thrift Shop_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie015.html PIE014 : Books On Tape : _Winning Record_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie014.html PIE013 : Temper : _Navy Blue_ ::: more info : http://www.pieheadrecords.com/releases/pie013.html All of the releases in our 2002 series of limited edition full-length releases are also still available, although stocks on some of them are dwindling.
