First ::
Apse "Eras" LP is now running low - and it's only been about 1 week since it was officially released! Reviews have been excellent - so I think smiles all round are warranted.
Also check out the new video made for the track "Up In The Eaves" - see it here:

I really only have about 10 yellow vinyl and 30 (or so) black vinyl copies left. That's it!
The following lovely distros & shops took copies and have them for sale about now - or very soon (all US unless stated):
Forced Exposure
Darla
Norman Records (UK)
Stickfigure Distribution
Beta-lactam Ring
Revolver / Midheaven
Trash American Style
Please support your local indie music dealer in these troubled economic times.
If the b(w)ankers can get a massive pile of government handouts - why can't fine folk who struggle hard to get great music out there get some help too? OK - enough whinging...
Other news ::
I took receipt of the new 2xLP by Aidan Baker yesterday.
"Gathering Blue" (E=mc17) has been over 2 years in the making and was quite an effort by all concerned (due to unforeseen technical issues here and there).
My hope is that it will be ready near the end of March 2009.
(I still need to collate copies, get a beautiful numbered insert card printed and so forth).
The LP features some fabulous new original material plus some major re-workings of old classics plus an incredible cover of a Joy Division classic - not to be missed.
The mottled-peacock blue vinyl looks terrific and the gatefold sleeve has come out much better than expected (the image art, the labels, it all just works beautifully - IMHO). I have not counted the exact number of copies yet - but I suspect there will be about 400 for sale (in total). There are a few (like 80 or so) sky-blue copies too (with fluffy white cloudy bits) - that edition will be for mail-order only. Watch this space!!

APSE "Eras" now available for pre-order
Finally the machinery at Equation Towers is moving and the wait finally over.
The great innovative LP by APSE is now available for pre-order. A special edition of 99 copies were pressed on yellow vinyl and is available only via my mail order or the band. I am delighted with the response so far and great reviews are coming in (I'll try and post these as and when on the release page). Copies will be available from the following fine distributors (see the links page on the equation site for links):
Forced Exposure (MA)
Darla (CA)
Beta-lactam Ring (OR) (agents for Revolver/Midheaven)
Stickfigure (Gorgia)
Norman Records (UK)
Twisted Village (MA)
I suspect a few more places will have copies as well. The official release date is 14th February ... so send a loved one a loving yellow-coloured circular vinyl gift!
The Aidan Baker "Gathering Blue" 2xLP is scheduled to arrive shortly - keep your eyes peeled on my site/blog for news.

Apse "Eras" LP ready to go!
Wow - time flies...
I cannot believe that it was back in June since the last blog.
I won't go into details but probably easier just to say that "life got in the way".
Anyway - the new APSE LP is ready and will be released on 14th February 2009.
They look excellent.
Lovely heavy gatefold sleeve, printed inner sleeve (always nice to have IMHO) plus a numbered printed post-card size card insert.
425 copies.
Rock-A-Rolla and Sound Projector have already given it "solid thumbs-up".
It's early days but already Forced Exposure (USA), Stickfigure (USA) and Norman (UK) are taking copies.
The Aidan Baker 2xLP ("Gathering Blue") should be arriving at Equation Towers shortly - more excitement!
So stuff the credit-crunch and lobby your Senator (or MP if you are in the UK) and try and get some of that bail-out money back into the indie music biz - and vinyl in particular!
