Part Timer "The Runner Remixes"

Part Timer will shortly be releasing a cd of remixes of a tune "The Runner" from my forthcoming album "Real to Reel".
The track featuring amazing harpist Heidi Elva and Aaron Martin supplying strings.
The beautiful remixes from Orla Wren (flau), The Green Kingdom, Humble Bee and more. The cds are those fancy black-backed ones so they look pretty swish - they're individually numbered (edition of 80) all come with a business card tracklisting.
"an enlivened, intelligent and diverse journey that maintains a purposeful and thoughtful thematic trajectory. I found that the vocal line really stayed with me throughout the day after a solid listen from beginning to end, and it would return at quiet moments in the days following. If this is any indication of the quality of the album to follow, I'm eagerly anticipating it." fluid radio

  aus "Light In August, Later" $14.00

(someone good, 2009)
Light In August, Later is the latest work from Tokyo based musician and composer aus (Yasuhiko Fukuzono). It's a measured and paced collection of pieces that evoke warm visions of open plains, sun causing mirages to gather on the ground. In this vision the detail of the environment close at hand somehow becomes united with the epic horizon laid out beyond it. It is in fact this relationship between focused detail and sweeping texture that is at the very heart of this edition. Matching cycled melodic passages with tiny electronic clicks and tones, aus generates a music that borrows the harmonic intent of pop but reduces it to a fine grain. Melodies blossom, are swept up in a gauze of processing and become transformed into something exquisitely intimate and engaging. Collaborating with Viennese musician Glim on two pieces, and joined by artists such as Cokiyu on others, this is a record that speaks to aus's abilities not only as a composer, but also a sound crafter of the highest order. An essential and compelling deconstruction of electronic infused pop by one of Japan's most impressive young artists.
RIYL: The Remote Viewer, Fourcolor, Helios

 
  Offthesky "Hiding Nature" $10.00

(home normal, 2010)
The album is obviously an offthesky aka Jason Corder (color cassette) record, with its minute attention to detail and its beautiful, often creeping, sometimes sporadic, bursts of melody. Essentially Jason’s plan was to make an album of heavily processed vibraphone pieces, yet it became so much more featuring clever use of warbly guitar tones and textures throughout.
RIYL: Ben Frost, Tape, Fennesz, Mitchell Akiyama

 
  Ian Hawgood "Slow Films In Low Light" $10.00

Namely The Gentlemen Losers, Helios, Dub Tractor, Yagya, Fieldhead, L'usine, September Collective, Ezekiel Honig, Stafraenn Hakon, Goldmind The Sight Below and loads more!
"Yep it's another comp with a stellar line up but we know you like 'em so much we always get 'em in for ya! The styles here vary a lot...It's a thoroughly entertaining listen from start to end and I'd recommend this to all fans of the drifty, the experimental and the electronic." - norman records


 
  Chihei Hatakeyama "A Long Journey" $10.00

(home normal, 2010)
Chihei Hatakeyama is the Tokyo microsound composer delivered exceptional albums for Room40 and Under The Spire, now he's on the verge of releasing another pairing of long-players over the next couple of months. The first of these comes via the dependably excellent Home Normal imprint, and bases itself upon field recordings made on a trip to San Francisco in 2006. Appropriately, the record is titled A Long Journey, and takes on the feel of a dreamlike sequence of scenes from different locations. There are eleven excellent compositions here.
RIYL: Taylor Deupree, Elvium, Fennesz

  aus "Lang Remixed" $15.00

(preco, 2008)
This is the much anticipated remix album of aus' most successful album "Lang". The project of "Lang Remixed" was not possible if without the participation of many excellent artists around the globe! "Lang" album, which exhibits IDM/pop electronica at its finest forms, was re-thought, re-invented and remixed into various stunning music styles, including ambient, experimental, electro-acoustic, breakbeats, shoegaze and etc. This is a truely joyful album for a wide range of electronic music fans out there!

Joshua Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv), Ulrich Schnauss, Kettel, Manual, Dosh, Epic45, ISAN, State River Widening, Bracken and The Remote Viewer.

 
  Mountain Ocean Sun "Peace Conference" $10.00

(home normal, 2009)
Mountain Ocean Sun’s search for deep peace, heavy drones, and sound healing has found them jamming with Deerhoof in Detroit, starting an organic music society in the extreme tropical heat of the Matthaei Botancial Garden on new years day, and all the way back to their first performance at a 500 year-old buddhist temple in Osaka, Japan. Bowed strings, harmonium, indian shruti boxes, gongs, ghosts, sea shells and bells are the spirit tools that these elemental earth’s children bring to this sixty-four minute peace conference.
“Recorded on a mountain, in the woods, near a river, a lake, and the city, the summer air was heavy and we sweated a lot. When it was over I was blind. I was pummeled by the minimalixm”

RIYL:His Name Of Alive, Ida, Tarentel

 
  Isnaj Dui "Unstable Equilibrium" $10.00

(home normal, 2009)
It’s hard to describe an album of moods, emotions and distant memories, but to me that’s what I find myself doing with Katie English’s music. Katie under her Isnaj Dui guise uses conventional and her own home made instrumentation to add loops and layers, until the track is ready to take on its own shape and form.
This music triggers for me a different experience with every listen. Maybe it will be the sound of a lonely alien crying on a tranquil moon, a field of singing flowers staring at the sun, or just my past dreams sailing away on an endless ocean.

RIYL:Deaf Center, Pjusk, Oren Ambarchi

 
  All Apologies "Nine Stories" (2cd) $17.00

(symbolic interaction, 2009)
Inhabiting the poppier end of the electronica spectrum, Nine Stories is the brainchild of All Apologies, a neo-pop unit formed in 2007 by flau artist Geskia! & (Forka). The group's debut album features nine songs heavy on whispered vocals and a stylistic fusion of shoegaze, electropop, and hip-hop.

RIYL:Radiohead, Milosh, Port-Royal, Hood

 
  Northerner "Rigings" (2cd) $17.50

(home assembly music, 2009)
The beginning of the year is usually a quiet time for new releases so it’s with great pleasure that I can report on the first great album of 2009. It comes from the West Yorkshire-based musician Martin Cummings who records his ambient works under the self-explanatory moniker of Northerner. The fact that Cummings operates alone is perhaps the biggest surprise given the sheer number of influences and sounds his debut album demonstrates. Very few groups, let alone solo acts, show this much adventure and promise on their first recordings." RIYL:Labradford, Murcof, Durutti Column
featuring remixes from Bracken, Part Timer, aus, Portal, Epic 45 and more.

  Squares On Both Sides Indication $17.50

(own,2009)

RIYL: Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Nathan Michel, Gastr Del Sol, Mark Hollis, The Books.

 
  Squares On Both Sides "Flung EP" (vinyl, 12")  $13.00

(hausmusik,2002)
"A meeting point between the lo-fi strums of Tommy Guerero, Vincent Gallo’s echoes of lost Americana, Dave Pajo’s more recent work as Papa M and the increasingly sought after sound of the Weilheim scene that plays host not only to the Notwist, but also to all of its many offshoot bands like Lali Puna, Tied & Tickled Trio and Console." - boomkat

  Squares On Both Sides "Croquet"  (vinyl) $17.00

(hausmusik,2004)
"Here is someone who is dreaming in his songs in the best singer-songwriter tradition and we are allowed to join listening." - de:bug
"Croquet exists as a shy yet unabashed collection of songs. Time passes without one taking notice, as the music gently scrapes at hidden memories."Wisely mixing lo-fi thinking with electronics and a more classical acoustic instrumentation, he created his sombre atmospheric (yet melodic) folk. Quite simply heart lifting. A must for those last remaining winter days." - vanity project.
