The Infrared Experience – ‘Memories, Waves & Frowns’ CD
We welcome back The Infrared Experience (Location still unknown) with a brand new instrumental CD and there is an enormous variety (or creativity, if you like) going on here. From experimental & contemporary music to (guitar) post rock to organic (guitar) ambient ( & dark) soundscapes. And maybe also for people who like a mix (and/or musical traces) of Steve Reich, Roy Montgomery, Set Fire to Flames, Philip Glass, Stars of the Lid, (experimental) Sonic Youth etc (to name the most known…we probably forget a couple)Sometimes it is hard to believe that all sounds have been created only with electric guitars and a few guitar effect pedals, but it’s a fact.  This is the second full length album by The Infrared Experience and it is probably even better than the appreciated debut (“White”).  But you really need to listen to the entire album to appreciate the variety & ideas.  guitars by tie.  Photography, artwork/cover design and audio post-production & mastering by Ralf Rabendorn. CD Info: Limited prof collectors edition, pro diamond dyes, AiR Digipack design, thick cardboard with special coat, waterproof Nice monochrome art in black&white (outside), sepia (inside) & monochrome blue (middle).  NEW COVERS printed by a professional printing plant!  50 min playing time.  Due to the larger and heavier new covers, the shipping costs are much more expensive compared to all previous releases, but we still try to keep the prices low!!! We hope you appreciate it

Windmill • Waterwheel – ‘Waterwheel • Windmill’ C40 $7(US)/$9(World)
One may be aware of Kirk Marrison’s work through Fibreforms and Kiln. During the mid-’90s, Marrison collaborated with NYC guitarist Charlie Nash (Arsenal/Rhys Chatham) on two releases slated for Alley Sweeper Records. The first, Waterwheel – Panchroma, was released, but due to the disintegration of the label, the second was not. ” Waterwheel • Windmill ” is that release, finally emerging in 2011 under the Windmill • Waterwheel moniker. Combining rhythmic explorations with some seriously alive processing and textures, these pieces still feel fresh today, 15 years after they were recorded.  Nash moved to the Midwest, but his influence on the late-‘70s No Wave New York scene has been noted. Here, he provides a variety of musical textures with objects, prepared and played guitar, and guitar as transmitter of beauty. Marrison sculpts these into teeming atmospherics, constantly dipping in and out of amorphous spaces; at times sounding like a forest and at times like clippings of forgotten landscapes, sewn together by threads of hot water.  Artwork by E. Lindorff-Ellery. Pro-printed on heavy stock. Pro-dubbed, imprinted cassettes with classic Notice attire. Type II Cobalt. Edition of 100.

56K – ‘Generations Lost’  C30 $7(US)/$9(World)
Generations Lost is the debut Notice Recordings release of 56K, the new project of Josh Burke. Over the past few years, Burke has released dozens of tapes under several aliases—Sky Limousine, Ocean Diamond, Silk Fountain, etc—showcasing his ethereal synth constructions. As this tape’s title suggests, 56K continues Burke’s explorations on themes related to memory, perception, and reproduction. Highlights from the half-dozen tracks include the trancelike unfolding epic “A Dream Within A Dream,” the retro-gaming arpeggiated breakdown of the title track, and “Angel,” a bold and mysterious New Age homage. Elusive and dreamlike, these half-recognized zones emerge organically from the musical framework of Burke’s pieces.  Collaborative artwork by E. Lindorff-Ellery and Josh Burke. Pro-printed on heavy stock. Pro-dubbed, imprinted cassettes with classic Notice attire. Type II Cobalt. Edition of 100.

Summons of Shining Ruins – ‘Peyrelebade’ CD
Shinobu from Japan is back with a new instrumental guitar only album as Summons of Shining Ruins. This CD is filled with 4 long hypnotic, dreamy, minimalistic and very atmospheric songs. All sounds have been created with an electric guitar and a few effect devices, recorded with analoge equipment. The lo-fi sound and the hiss and background noise that’s going on here are an important part of this album. Maybe similar to the old Stars of the Lid (just more lively) the music here is floating and lets you forget about time. A somehow peaceful but/and also thoughtful experience!  Music performed, written & produced by Shinobu Nemoto. All pictures, artwork and minimal mastering by Ralf Rabendorn.  CD Info: Limited prof collectors edition! 6 panel covers, Unfolded inside cover becomes a little poster! NEW COVERS printed by a professional printing plant! thick cardboard, matte, waterproof.
