- The newest CD from
Richard Bone is here! Spiralight Recordings is
thrilled to announce the recent release of The Reality
Temples . "My intention was to create a work that
blended my love of 60's psychedelia with my previous
ambient stylings. I wanted the tracks (and song titles)
to reflect a sense of whimsy and mind expansion . My hope
is that the music tends to make one put on the headphones
and light incense if you get my drift!" - Richard Bone

Woodall's
Pictures In Mind has been re-released at CD BABY.

- Mount Meru is the
newest CD available by Robert Carty and Gerard Geary.
This is deep atmospheric space music with some touches of
rhythmic grooves. In addition Gerard Geary reads some of
his mind expanding "poem stories" over some of the
tracks. A unique twist to some ambient music. For more

- Jonthan Hughes' new CD,
Fluidities, is out on The Foundry label. His last
CD was a winner as far as Bill is concerned, so if you
are a fan of ambient music, you can check it out
here.
The concept behind the recording sounds intriguing to say
the least: "This double CD features eleven tracks by
Jonathan Hughes and eleven tracks by some of the most
prominent names in the electronic music scene today,
including Tetsu Inoue, Ian Boddy, High Skies (Mat
Jarvis), Saul Stokes, Seofon, Susanne Brokesch,
dreamSTATE, Interstitial, Jussi & Jaana
Väisänen, Dean Santomieri, and Michael
Bentley/eM. By playing the two CDs simultaneously on
separate CD players (preferably in random order) one can
create dozens of unique composite tracks that are, in
effect, virtual collaborations between artists who may
have never recorded together."
- Here is news on two more
upcoming release from the brave new label, The Foundry:
- Egocentric - The
Sky Within the Ground (EP) The Foundry is pleased
to present the debut release from San Francisco artist
Brian Naas working under the name Egocentric. Brian
weaves wonderful rhythms, melodic fragments and
textural work into five engrossing tracks, familiar
and new at once. Look for a September
release.
- Thing Asunder
- A Foundry Project This project began with the
assembling of a cut-up story. The chapbook was then
shared amongst some sound artists and the result is
the Thing Asunder CD. Participants include Ben Swire,
Earwicker (Seofon and Kimoscio), Steve Brand (formerly
Augur), and M. Bentley. We are aiming for an Autumn
release.
- Fans of ethno-tribal
ambient music need to sit up and pay attention to this:
The launching of the new LotusSpike label has been
fiercely ignited by the release of Jeff Kowal's (a.k.a.
terra ambient) new CD, The Gate. I've head this
already and it is a killer CD, brimming with primal
sensual rhythms and earthy melodies on flutes,
didgeridoos, and processed textures. Fans of Tuu, Robert
Rich, o yuki conjugate and similar artists should
absolutely check it out at either Jeff's
site or the
label's.
