Robot - SOLD OUT



'Robot' by Andrew Paine & Richard Youngs is now sold out at source. However... copies can be found at Norman Records, Volcanic Tongue, Eclipse Records & Alt.Vinyl.

"New edition of 50 copies CD-R from the tag-team of Richard Youngs and Andrew Paine. Reflecting on the extended electro/prog strategies of their 3” on La Station Radar, the music was created through a series of oblique strategies chosen at random, with vocal narration cut up to the point that it sounds like interrupted shortwave broadcasts, primitive acid house squiggles, vocoder F/X, guitar jams and cheap drum machines. Another perplexing entry from these two cosmonauts." (Volcanic Tongue)

Robot



Sonic Oyster Records presents 'Robot', a new release from Andrew Paine & Richard Youngs.

'Robot' is the result of adhering to every 'oblique strategy' card randomly chosen from the deck.

No compromise; no quarter... no matter how painful, no matter how against the moment, we worked with it and the music flowed through us... a strange new sound, at times liberating... at other times totally ridiculous.

Ultimately, it was a very enjoyable album to make... riddled with surprises... taking the construct and process we first started on ' The Horizon Project' and moving forward to a new experimentation. A progression, if you will.

The album is STRICTLY limited to 50 copies & available from 19 April. The CDR release costs 5GBP and is available for pre-order now.

Book of Shadows - Tea in the Sidhe


Book of Shadows began in 1999 when Carlton and Sharon Crutcher began seeking an experimental, magickal outlet from their duties in legendary Austin Texas Space Rock band ST 37 which Carlton founded in 1987.

The artistic vision for Book of Shadows was to combine the best aspects of psychedelia, improvisation and experimental music mixed with a spiritual and magickal life perspective. Each time Book of Shadows gets together to play, music is documented by a recording of that particular magickal and musical experience.

Carlton and Sharon were joined by guitarist, composer Aaron Bennack in 2002 and guitarist Jonathan Horne in 2004. In the last 10 years Book of Shadows has played an endless number of recording sessions and shows with countless musicians in the effort to document the beauty of the eternal present.

Sonic Oyster Records is proud to present 'Tea in the Sidhe', Book of Shadows latest incantation of psychedelic drone and mysticism.



The album is limited to 50 copies & available from 19 April.

The CDR release costs 5GBP and is available for pre-order now.
