Finally - this LP is out!
Being sold at a low price too !
233 copies made, 5 inserts, inner bag and a great silk-screened spot-gloss outer sleeve.
Main distribution through:
Forced Exposure (USA)
Drone Records (Germany)
--------------------------
Vital Weekly described the music very well indeed with the following description:
"... sounds like a death-cart being wheeled through a medieval street"
That sums it up very well IMHO !
Details (per the listing on Equation web site) as follows:
R.Y.N. are a UK-based duo probably best known for their Astral Death CD (Unrest Productions) and an excellent 7" on Drone Records.
On this vinyl-only release R.Y.N. present 44 minutes of completely new recordings: a mix of archaic, unsettling, new and melancholy. This album took many months to record as a result of the careful attention paid to the record by the duo.
This LP provides both classic R.Y.N. darkness plus even heavier oppressive, dark, soundscapes that can only be fully appreciated on vinyl over the two side-long tracks: Archaic Techniques Of Ecstacy and Provisional Sketch Of The Mind.
Pressed on black vinyl in a spot-varnished silk-screened card sleeve (by Seizure Palace) plus pro-printed inner sleeve and 5 card inserts (housed in separate stickered inner sleeve). If you don't know their work then this is definitely worth exploring. If you do know them then this is a must.

New LP by R.Y.N. out shortly + other news
Been almost a year since the last post.
I've not been (too) idle over the past few months, but I just seem to have lost the urge to 'blog' but I guess it's time to announce some new developments and things.
1: R.Y.N. 12" Vinyl LP (E=mc20) : Archaic Techniques Of Ecstacy (233 copies)
The next LP will be out in a few days at a nice affordable price. A great couple of tracks of sheer darkness by this duo from the UK famous for a couple of intense CD's and a 7" on Drone.
HEAVY oppressive, dark, soundscapes that can only be fully appreciated on vinyl over the two side-long tracks: "Archaic Techniques Of Ecstacy" and "Provisional Sketch Of The Mind". Pressed on black vinyl in a spot-varnished silk-screened card sleeve (by Seizure Palace) plus printed inner sleeve and 5 card inserts (numbered by myself, of course). It is also being retailed at a nice price ... so no reason not to explore this great band. R.Y.N. LP release details here. Or check the main Equation release page here.
2: TROUM "Eald-Ge-Streon" 2xLP (E=mc21/mt183)
This 2xLP will be available shortly and is housed in an outrageously super-heavy gatefold card sleeve. This is a joint release with Beta-lactam Ring (who released the CD version late 2009).
There will be 500 copies with a few on coloured vinyl (exact pressing details tba). I will probably be selling only a few copies here on the Equation Records web site, but not a lot - the main distributor will be Beta-lactam Ring Records -- so you are urged to visit them for details and purchasing.
3: ORGANUM 7" to be released in a couple of months (E=mc23).
The first vinyl outing by Organum in 8 years.
This work is titled "Valentin" and will be around 200 copies in full colour picture sleeve.
Equation is delighted and honoured to be releasing a work by this artist that needs no introduction.
4: Taming The Outback "1986-1989" CD (E=mc24)
With the master tapes lying idle in the vaults for over 20 years this exceptionally talented band from Southend-on-Sea (my home town in the UK) will eventually see the light of day with pristine new mastering (by Snowboy) for the very best sound quality possible. The professionally recorded LP-that-never-was will no have its debut (finally!). This is not going to be just another bog-standard CD -- Oh No!. This will is going to come in a very heavy-gauge deluxe card gatefold mini-LP style sleeve, a printed inner, a 6-panel poster, a sticker and a 16-page booklet with rare photos and an interview and history (along with lyrics).
A very limited edition version (60 copies or so) which also be made available. This will come in a 7"x7" pro-printed embossed box which will not only have the CD but also a an exact copy of the band's hyper-rare 7" plus other inserts. Only 60 will be made (around) as the record will be very limited... watch this space (promise it will be updated within a year!).
The image below is from the band's ultra-controversial promotional photo-shoot that caused an uproar in both local and national UK press. So I guess this will act as a precursor to what is to come. Dare I say -- if you love Joy Division and Echo & The Bunnymen (which you all should do if you have any sense) you're going to be in for a real treat!
