APRIL 2012
Coming very soon are two brand new releases in
the MONSTER
series, 'Ninki Nanka, Yumboes & Monsters' and 'Schmetaling
Monster of Rock'.
'In 2008 I heard that Andrew W.K. was producing an album
by Lee 'Scratch' Perry. I knew Andrew through his contributions
both live and in the studio with Current 93. So being a fan
of 'Scratch' I pleaded to be sent the multi-tracks so that I
could make my own 'dub' mix purely for my own entertainment.
I ditched all the existing music and recorded my own then added
Mr. Perry's voice. I sent the results back to Andrew who seemed
to like them at the time and there was some talk of releasing
the mix some day, alas that day never arrived.
Roll on 4 years and I have remixed those remixes,
removed any sign of Lee 'Scratch' Perry (due to legal reasons)
and added a further 3 'dub' mixes to an album called 'Ninki
Nanka, Yumboes & Monsters'. The album will be released as
a CD by my ever faithful label 'Dirter'. It will be released
the same day as mock rock album 'Schmetaling Monster of Rock'
‘Schmetaling Monster of Rock’ is a 12 track album on
vinyl only, the record comes in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, on
red vinyl with inner lyric sleeve.
‘Schmetaling Monster of Rock’ has been 4 years in the making
and features guest vocals from M.S. Waldron, Maniac and Attila
Csihar. Again, this will be released by the ever supportive
Dirter.

MARCH 2012
FIRST
AID BOX | BOX + 4 X 7" VINYL + 6 POSTCARDS + POSTER
'First
Aid Box' comes in a deluxe black velvet box, with black foil
embossing on the front cover, 4 full colour picture sleeve 7"'s,
poster and 6 postcards and is limited
to 300 copies worldwide. Some copies ordered from Andrew
Liles include a sealed syringe. The syringes have been placed
randomly amongst the orders and it is down to 'luck' and luck
ONLY if you get one.
The music on 'First Aid Box' utilises Mellotron
sounds, bells, gongs, sound FX, piano and acoustic guitar. Although
sounding little like them the tracks are influenced by the film
scores of Popol Vuh and Donald Rubinstein.
'First Aid Box' is a collection of songs for an imaginary film
about imaginary illnesses in a dilapidated imaginary hospital
no one would want to imagine themselves going to.

ORIGINAL ART
Recently there have been
some original drawings by Andrew added to the shop. They sold
out within 24 hours without any notification going out to the
wider public. New material will be added to the shop over the
coming weeks and months. If you are interested please check
regularly at the shop as this art will not be advertised on
the mailing list or news page.
RECENTLY
ADDED TO THE SHOP
LULL
& BETA CLOUD | CIRCADIAN RHYTHM DISTURBANCE RECONFIGURED
Press release from Cold
Spring Records -
'From England to the United States and back again...
it all started as a simple drone project between LULL (aka Mick
Harris of Scorn, ex-Napalm Death), and BETA CLOUD (aka Carl
Pace), based on the concept of how insomnia can effect your
thought patterns. Billows of powerful bass drones set to indistinct
flourishes of temporary insanity, it was released as a limited
3" CD in 2008. Now proudly presented in a deluxe digipak
edition on cold spring, the original track is there, but also
included is a fierce remix track by none other than legendary
sound artist Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND), with stunning
new packaging and artwork. Fans of Lull and Beta Cloud will
really sink their teeth into this one; what Liles has created
here is not a simple remix but a raging, deconstruction as only
he can do.'

MONSTER
To come out late in 2012 is ‘Murgatroyd
the Monster (A Northern Noir)’. Currently a work in progress
this recording is inspired by film noir, Yorkshire and Lancashire
dialect and slang and the excellent Red Riding (a television
adaptation of author David Peace's Red Riding Quartet).
2012 and BEYOND
Completed over the past 18 months are a set of recordings based
on concepts on the passage of time, time travel and also in
part on the ideas of John von Neumann, specifically his ideas
on the self-reproducing universal constructor and his lecture
‘The General and Logical Theory of Automata’. More about von
Neumann can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann
As an antidote to the tongue-in-cheek, brash and
often extreme ‘Monster’ series the 'Sideways Through Time' discs
are a collection of very serious, austere, melodramatic and
romantic pieces primarily constructed from piano, piano strings,
gongs and cymbals.
The first of the discs ‘Sideways Through Time (Illusion One)’
and ‘Sideways Through Time (Illusion Two)’ will be released
via our good friends Dirter as two separate discs on the same
day. They will come in a digipack and will be limited to 500
copies.
The third in the series will be ‘Fast Forward
Through Time (Illusion Three)’, the label and release date to
this recording is as of yet to be decided.
The fourth in the series ‘Reversing Through Time
(Illusion Four) is yet to be recorded and will be probably be
finished sometime in 2012 with a possible release date being
late 2012 or early 2013.
REMIXES
Recent remixes have been completed for The Sonic Catering Band
and Sutekh Hexen, they should be released over the next few
months.
