chiliad - wilderness of mirrors - sick head - cdr – 8$
This was all set for C60 before I realised the reflective properties of the master disc were integral to Chiliad's realisation as he rested among the mirrors. Organ elation from John Cromar, overtone city.

ashtray navigations / nackt insecten - mouth /astrid (IX & VI) - sick head - cass – 9$
"Mouth" gave me visions of Phil Todd circumnavigating the globe, skimming over the clouds in a silver glider before swooping down and busting through the Earth's crust to body-board recklessly on subterranean rivers of lava. I doubt that was what Ashtray Navigations had in mind but it's a nice image. 20 minutes of dense warped outer-space sound and buried ecstatic guitar heroics.
The B side by request features a couple of Smackt Injecten keyboard workouts. (The last guitar strings broke back in October). Watch out for super high flying ill-advised vocal drool.

birds of delay & nackt insecten - split -sick head - cass – 9$
Birds of Delay, recorded in Cambridge earlier this year. "Turned Froo Silt" doses up shots of strangled moan with layers of something approaching melody struggling to break through the murk. Probably with great shoes on. Nackt Insecten side crams four jams into fifteen minutes without a hit single in sight. Varying levels of scuzz, consistent intensity, or whatever...

polly shang kuan bandh / hockyfrilla- split - sick head - cass – 8$
culver - house of black flowers -sick head - cass– 8$
Two twenty++ min pieces on C60 from solo minimal drone maestro/ Marzuraan member/ Recent Sunroof! collaborator Lee Stokoe.
Ebbs, flows and evolves lk a warm slo-mo rush down yr spine. "The Corpse Wore Red" pulses hypnotically and sends subtle technicolour overtones to clarify yr vision. Flipside "Seina" enters and leaves with haunting delicate guitar lines centred around a dead-weight tone like the moment yr consciousness peaks being drawn out for all eternity!! Wonderful!
