the "Magnetism, That Electricity.." record release

hey! as this things tend do, the original idea for "Magnetism, That Electricty.." has evolved greatly! At first i had imagined it as a DVD-r compilation akin to last years "Analog For Architecture", with the four EPs, plus a load of extras. I trimmed that idea back to just a CD compilation with only the four EPs, which seemed more in line with the actual "Magnetism.." gig coming up at the Luminaire. Putting something out as a CD these days though, is a dodgy gamble - its a solution that only works for certain projects, and i didn't feel it would do this project justice, so i started looking into pricing for a double 12" vinyl release. It *is* kinda expensive, but with the idea growing in my head, it seemed like the loveliest format and most fitting to the four EPs - So yeah, we've settled on a double 12" vinyl package for the upcoming release!

Two discs in black paper sleeves, housed in a clear PVC outer container - one side per artist:

disc one will have a lush 20 minute drone opus from Mandelbrot, backed with four tracks of low-end electronics from Fisk Industries.

disc two will have a 20 minute monster from The Village Orchestra, and be backed with several Marcia Blaine School For Girls tracks.

Limited to 300 copies, each with hand-written certificate/postcard, and should be selling for £10 direct from the site here, plus going out via the normal distribution channels. I'm super excited - I think these are going to be amazing! stay tuned for more updates - i'm due all tracks by this weekend, then quickly get it mastered and off to pressing, so i would expect release date to close to the end of February..
