For Nihon | Various (mp3 / flac) - Now Available For Download

Please click :here: - For Nihon | Various (mp3 / flac)

After learning about the tragic events of the Japanese earthquake on March 11th my wife, Hollie, and I were talking about ways to help. We decided to ask a few friends to join a compilation to help raise money. A few quickly became many as we were overwhelmed and warmed by the eagerness of these musicians to get involved.

"For Nihon" features some of the premier names in ambient / experimental music. 100% of the profits from the sale of this album will be donated to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund set up by New York's Japan Society.

* There will be a physical version of this album available as a two-cd set soon.

Keith Kenniff - The Last Survivor OST

Keith Kenniff - The Last Survivor OST

It gives me great pleasure to have the opportunity to draw your attention to a new album by Keith Kenniff (aka: Goldmund / Helios) Whilst being a long term fan of Keith's music in all its guises this in particular has the unique quality of really tugging the old heart strings. It can't be easy for a musician to write a score that supports and enhances the visual elements of a film but here I feel Keith has surpassed himself. The music is at times almost painfully sad yet at others gloriously uplifting. Maybe one of Keith's greatest works to date?
You may recall Keith kindly let me post some un-released works :here: from his personal collection a while back exclusively for visitors of Victory Rose. If you haven't already done so, then please check out this wonderful collection of music and if I may also encourage you firstly to go the website to find out more about this beautifully poignant film and secondly to check out the 'buy here' link as it leads to Keith's own site where you can purchase the album for a very reasonable price in any format you wish.
Ps: did you know he also now offers his services Mastering music?

Lineage: Church Audio CA 14 Cardioids > Sony RH1 (PCM-mode) > Hi-MD > Sonic Stage > wav > Re master > Flac sbe/8

I think for many this marks a longggg wait and marks quite a historic post, the 1st live recording (for the most part) of JoshTPearson in many years. Certainly one which Ive been looking forward to for a very long time since first hearing the 'Lift to Experience' a record said to be one of the best debut albums of all time!
Anyways, this Re mastered recording, posted here through the great kindness of the taper is an extraordinary record of a modern day master of his craft. I'm not sure if he was using an electric or an acoustic here! but its quite a concert.
NB: Please check the notes, due to certain circumstances the quality of the last song is not as good as the previous ones.

Set List:

01 Intro
02 Rivers Of Babylon
03 Sweetheart I Ain't Your Christ
04 Woman, when I've Raised Hell
05 Sorry With A Song
06 Crowd Banter
07 Country Dumb
08 Crowd Banter
09 Singer To The Crowd

Kyle Bobby Dunn - Ways of Meaning

Kyle Bobby Dunn - Ways of Meaning - Release date: 02/05/2011

Im excited to have this opportunity to announce the follow up release to Kyle's amazing 'A Young Person's Guide To...' due to be released early in May. Kyle is fast becoming one of the very best ambient/drone artists out there, indeed this new record will sit perfectly alongside such artists as Brian Eno and Stars Of The Lid. Kyle has put a lot into this record, searching deep into himself to pen some quite emotional and at times intense music. This provides the rare opportunity to really be able to share something of the artists intended emotions through the music. Another sublime quality of this record is the perfectly timed & measured composition within the structure of the music. Its this quality that, for me, puts Kyle's music up there with the very best in this genre.
