the ceiling : new sounds of unusual purpose 11/03

Please forgive the cross-posting...

Hello!

After something of a quiet period, we have a couple of new releases (along
with a general catlogue update).  A good antidote for those post-Hallowe'en
blues...  Please see below:

New releases from the The Ceiling:

THE INFANT CYCLE- "Clear Hexagon" 8" one-sided hexagon EP (The Ceiling,
Canada) $15 CAD / $11.25 USD
 Continuing the quest for the answer to "which surface noise is prerecorded
and which is live?" begun on last year's "Clear Square", the shape series
continues with a new droned-out permutation of malleted water tank,
feedback, ultra-low Poly-800 pulses, and crackly rhythmic playout groove. 
4/4 gooves assemble and disassemble as waves of sounds pass in and out of
orbit of each other.  One-sided hexagon-shaped clear lathe-cut 8" record. 
Limited edition of 40 copies. CEIL027.

THE INFANT CYCLE- Playout extracts 5" 45 (The Ceiling, Canada) FREE!
 In its continuing need to release high-fidelity music on low-fidelity
mediums, The Infant Cycle presents a new, free lathe-cut taster of the
"Playout" project (an earlier taster appeared on the CD supplement of Paris'
Fear Drop magazine).  Using the source of one carved record's playout
groove, two brief snapshots of its transformation, returned to the snap,
crackle and pop gene pool.  The full versions should be available on CD in
2004 courtesy of Merchants of Sound/Mutant Music.  Limited to 40 copies. 
One copy per person, thanks.  CEIL026
Please read: this item free and postage paid with any order (upon request). 
If ordering separately, please add $1 (in Canada), $2 in U.S., and $3 in
other territories.  One copy per customer... thanks.

Other new additions to the catalogue:

KIM CASCONE/ANDREY KIRITCHENKO/ANDREAS BERTHLING/KOTRA- Fourfold Symmetry CD
(Nexsound, Ukraine) $19 CAD / $14.25 USD
 Different combinations of collaborators from these Ukraine electronics
composers plus the PGR/Silent boss.  From ethereal ambient pieces to more
difficult soundscapes, that (despite the different leanings of those
involved) flow together quite nicely.

DELPHIUM- Good Morning Heartache CD (Moloko+, Germany) $13 CAD / $9.75 USD 
 New EP from the prolific English project, featuring familiar Delphium
trademarks- the grainy breakbeats, frame-rattling basslines, ominous sound
effects...  This release combines old unreleased material with new tracks,
plus two remixes of the title track by AL.X and THE INFANT CYCLE.

THE MOGLASS- NS12 CD (Nexsound, Ukraine) $19 CAD / $14.25 USD
 Spacey guitar and electronics excursions from this Ukraine project.  Pieces
range from echoey krautrock leanings to  more darker post-industrial
rumblings, an improvised trip through unusual areas.

VARIOUS ARTISTS- Songs From 20th Century Homes LP (Old Gold, U.S.A.) $17 CAD
/ $12.75 USD
 If there was any city's tape culture that had absorbed so many different
underground forms of music, and create a large number of personal mutations,
it would be that of Winnipeg, Manitoba, which this LP documents.  RUDY BUST,
DRUE AND MYLES LANGLOIS, NDF, ALIEN HYBRID, ALBATROSS, ADRIAN SHALOM
WILLIAMS, POT ROAST, THE UNTANNED HIDE OF A YOUNG COW, MICHAEL DUMONTIER,
EYEBALL HURT & THE MEDICINE, TOM ELLIOT, GO ACTION WITH DA-DA SOUND, THE
GARAGE PEOPLE, TODD MARTIN.

Mastock issue #5 (Canada) FREE!
  The last music issue of Mastock.  Interviews with COUNTERFEIT and KNAR;
articles from GARY FLANAGAN and LX WHEILL (ARCHANGEL), plus the usual large
amount of reviews.

All prices are in Canadian (CAD) and American (USD) currency with postage
paid in North America.  If ordering from other territories, please add $1
per zine or CD, or $3 per 8" or LP.  Please make money orders payable
to Jim DeJong.  We accept payment via Paypal.
