Belbury Poly's "Farmer's Angle" (Revised edition) available for pre-order now

The new 'Revised edition' of Belbury Poly's pioneering Farmer's Angle EP is released on 10 September 2010 and is available to pre-order now in the Ghost Box shop on 10" vinyl and CD.

The original Farmer's Angle was the first ever release on Ghost Box records and was released as a 3" CD on 10 January 2005. The release really set the tone for Ghost Box's output and laid the foundations of the 'Hauntology" genre.

The revised edition includes 3 of the 4 tracks from the original release together with three new tracks, one of which, Warm Air, is a collaboration with The Advisory Circle. A full track listing, together with previews of all the tunes is available here.   

See Birds EP by Balam Acab

I bought this 5-track EP released today on Tri Angle Records. It's very good.

'Willow Pattern Songs' by Hong Kong in the 60s

My CD of Willow Pattern Songs by Hong Kong in the 60s came today. Beautiful, melodic, fragile pop that's a perfect summer soundtrack. If you've not heard any Hong Kong in the 60s before, drop by their Myspace page and have a listen. Then you'll want to buy Willow Pattern Songs (which you may well have to buy on download as it was released a year ago and the limited CD copies are pretty much sold out, although I managed to get my copy from Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation) and the more recent digital single Footsteps. And if you're going to be in London on 20 August, you can see them play live at The Drop in Stoke Newington.

 

Another free mix from Moon Wiring Club "Elementary Ice Cream Sunstroke Mix"

For some delightfully English musical midsummer madness, download this free half-hour mix from the consistently odd (and that's a good thing, in case you weren't sure!) Moon Wiring Club, courtesy of Days Are Numbers.  Ranging from the BBC Radiophonic  Workshop through Coil and Mount Vernon Arts Lab to Basil Rathbone, this is the kind of quirkily eclectic mix that Moon Wiring Club do so well!

We've had vinyl. We've had CDs. Now Jeff Mills brings us the CD/vinyl hybrid!

Never one to shy away from new ideas in his music, Detroit techno pioneer Jeff Mills is now experimenting with new formats for music delivery too.  His latest album "The Occurrence" is looks like a regular CD until you flip it over to find a 5" vinyl single on the other side!  Sure to be a collectors item, the release is a strictly limited edition Japanese import on Third Ear Japan/Axis Records, but at £29.99 in UK money, the future doesn't come cheap...
