======THE NEW STUFF======
Valerio Cosi may be young at only 22, but his talent is undeniable. He may be mostly known for his exquisite saxophone playing, but this Italian wunderkind doesn't stop there. Cosi composes strings of magic using all sorts of instrumentation and production tricks. "Heavy Electronic Pacific Rock" marks the first CD release in Cosi's ever-expanding discography, and he saved the best for this, his most widely-available release to date.
What stands out in "Heavy Electronic Pacific Rock" is Valerio's ability to combine things that don't seem to be logical companions. He dots spacious saxophone compositions with rivers of noise, and without any indication that it's coming, he'll turn things into a field of Eastern-tinged, meditative drones. But it's all in a way that keeps it cohesive and hypnotic.
Limited to 500 copies.
**NOTE: Special 2-disc edition comes with full-length bonus CDR called "Heavy Electronic Pacific Loop" with all unreleased and exclusive material to complement "Heavy Electronic Pacific Rock." The songs on the extra disc were made especially for this release. Strictly Limited to 100 copies with additional artwork**

digi052: uton "we're only in it for the spirit" CD $12 / special 2-disc edition $17 For the past five plus years, Uton has been one of the most consistent projects to come out of the snowy confines of his native Finland. His output has been constant, but the quality is always great. His drones have always been underscored with a sense of melody and a keen utilization of the space where the music was created. These songs are not icy or glacial, though, like one might think. Uton's uncanny ability to inject an inviting sense of warmth and spirit. "We're Only in it for the Spirit" is ghost music; barely there and out-of-sight in the blink of an eye.
On this new album, Uton's main man Jani Hirvonen is joined on all tracks by J.P. Koho of Vapaa, Aan, & Kulkija fame. As a duo, Uton thrives. Hirvonen's delicate touch are completemented perfectly by Koho, who does his part to add a bit of chaos to the calm. The two play off each other's every move and produce an end result that rivals anything Uton has released previously. "We're Only in it for the Spirit" is a magickal piece of work.
Limited to 500 copies with artwork designed by James Livingston of Black Horizons.
**NOTE: Special 2-disc edition comes with full-legnth bonus CDR featuring live recordings done by the duo of Jani Hirvonen and J.P. Koho and the trio of Hirvonen, Koho, and Christelle Gualdi (Stellar Om Source Ocean Woman) recorded throughout Europe while Uton was on tour 2006. Strictly limited to 100 copies with additional artwork**

By now, just about everyone is familiar with the mighty Starving Weirdos and their otherworldly junkyard drones. Last year the world was introduced to another band of mystics from the Weirdos camp called RV Paintings. One of the constant threads from both of those bands is the inimitable Brian Pyle. Ensemble Economique is Pyle's debut foray into the solo forest. "At the Foot of Nameless Roads" is a masterpiece of an album, filled to the brim with cacophonous melodies, meditative auditory chants, & hypnotic shambolic rhythms. If you love the Weirdos, you will be all over this.
"At the Foot of Nameless Roads" is one hell of a first statement. Pyle has concocted an absolute gem. Ensemble Economqiue is music for the darkest nights, the pinkest mornings, and everything in between. This is vivid music that leaves a trail of gold in its wake.
Limited to 500 copies. Artwork by Jefre Cantu-Ledesma.
**NOTE: Special 2-disc edition comes with a full-length CDR featuring EE in group form. Pyle is joined by his Humbolt brethren, Spencer Doran (Cloaks), Max Brottman, & Ryan Carlisle, cranking out some serious damage on "No GPS." Strictly limited to 100 hand-numbered copies with extra artwork**
