cold lampin'

aiight! been too busy to blog on here the past week - all is very good tho!

i'm totally in love with the new website look - need to buy mat quite a few beers for that! Getting it live and finishing tweaks took up most of last weekend, but we pushed it all through so we could launch with the "Magnetism.." release this week, and do a big press push on everything at once.

thanks for all the enthusiasm over the Magnetism release - loads of orders have come through and been mailed out. I don't forsee the 100 cdrs lasting for very long! Nice to see so many people opting for the vinyl option - its gonna be worth it! Its going to be deluxe with a capital 'D'.

We've had a few early articles and reviews already - Wired magazine's Listening Post blog did a nice post about the launch and its tiered pricing model, and then first review came in this morning from boomkat, who said some very nice words about it, but my favorite part was "chronically out of fashion post-Autechre beat narratives" - in the context, i think its meant as a complement - but i love the idea of being chronically out of fashion!

In the absence of SFH for vinyl pressing, I shopped around loads last week, eliciting as many recommendations from friends and labels as possible, and chose to go with Sound Performance in the end. Not sure if it was a strictly scientific reasoning behind going with them (although they did actually offer the best price too), but based on the recommendations and from speaking with them on the phone, i just got quite a good feeling from them.

more soooooooooon.....
