Artist Martyn Bates & Troum Product Name To a Child Dancing in the Wind Vendor Name Transgredient Records Beta-lactam Ring Wholesale Catalog ***RE*** Page 1 of 63 Format CD Catalog#: Tr06 UPC n/a Unit Price $8.50 Ship Date Available Description "Profound songs inspired by Yeats-poems: The acoustic transformation of the deepest yearning for this release, the German 'transcendental-drone'-duo Troum teams up with the legendary British singer/songwriter and Eyeless In Gaza-member Martyn Bates. More than 2 years in the making, Martyn Bates has sung & played (mouth organ & melodica) over basic material Troum provided -- consisting of harmonic minimal loops & basic song structures derived from accordion, e-bass & guitar, percussion, who were then also responsible for the final subsequent additional mastering (adding more guitar-work, voices & balalaika). Martyn Bates has chosen to sing four poems of the famous Irish poet W.B.Yeats, and he did this with a most impressive sensitivity for Troum's very sublime & rather hidden harmonic structures. There are also two instrumentals in a more experimental style on this disc, one being a dark drone reprise of the main piece 'Mad As the Mist and Snow #2.' Martyn's voice is surely not something for everyone -- it's of an extreme emotional & yearnful quality that might be not easy to stand -- a yearning which is like a deep 'cry out to the horizon,' to something that is unreachable per se, feeling a passion that tears you apart inside. This is pure emotional poetry transformed into yearnful audible spherics!"

Artist Troum Product Name Ryna CD Vendor Name Transgredient Records Format CD Catalog#: Tr04CD UPC n/a Beta-lactam Ring Wholesale Catalog ***RE*** Page 2 of 63 Unit Price $8.50 Ship Date Available Description "...The general feel of the sounds here is reminiscent of the earth moving, tectonic plates in constant shuffle, the tracks building and then either shifting or worn away via attrition. Its as if Maeror Tri learned to fly through ingenuity, smoke and mirrors, while Troum has taken the ingenuity, smoke and mirrors and, somehow, grown wings. Amazing stuff!" [JC Smith] Artist Troum Product Name Tjukurra Part Three CD Vendor Name Transgredient Records Format CD Catalog#: Tr03CD UPC n/a Unit Price $8.50 Ship Date Available Description TJUKURRPA (PART THREE: RHYTHMS AND PULSATIONS) CD (sixth full-length CD) (Transgredient Records TR-01c) first pressing of 1000 copies comes in a full-colour circle-cover.

(Transgredient Records) Artist Orbit Service Product Name Calm Note From the West Vendor Name Beta-lactam Ring Records Format CD Catalog#: mt273 UPC 75390-7160826 Unit Price $8.00 Ship Date Available Description Service's return orbit finds them in an acid folk state of mind. They softly churn out cosmic tones that bore directly into the right brain, eliciting a bright reign of psychedelic sprites. Their mystical leanings steer them close to the likes of Sol Invictus, but OS zigs where neo folk zags, giving them a sonic momentum that leads to a much outer part of outer space. This beautifully crafted set smells like moist earth covered in leaves. Orbit Service's mining of ever deeper moods has yielded a subtle treasure that glows like distant sun. Artist Ilitch Product Name Un Jour Come Tant d'antes CD Vendor Name Beta-lactam Ring Records Format CD Catalog#: mt272 UPC 75390-7160925 Unit Price $8.50 Ship Date Available Description Beta-lactam Ring Wholesale Catalog ***RE*** Page 4 of 63 Edition of 300 copies. Dieu has smiled upon us, for a previously shelved early album (1975) by Ilitch finally has its jour in the soleil. Thierry Müller's strange musical arc is further enriched and confounded by this exploratory cosmic release. A brilliant mix of Krauty space groans and experimentalism (see also Conrad Schnitzler and Ash Ra Temple, etc) and the progressive electronics of Igor Wakhevitch. There is some psych in the folds, and the album is tripped-out all over. Full of small sounds underneath mystical and shimmering beds of loping electronic waves. It sounds like it was made three galaxies over (isn't that where France is?). 6 tracks of deep galactics (or is it a journey through another planet's Hell?). One person's Enfer is another's Ciel. Artist Ka-Spel, Edward Product Name Pleasure Cruise Through 9 Dimensions CD Vendor Name Beta-lactam Ring Records Format CD Catalog#: mt266b UPC 75390-7161021 Unit Price $16.00 Ship Date Available Description CD: Limited to 200 numbered copies in a hand printed and assembled gimmick art sleeve. If only Norwegian Cruise Lines offered such a package. EKS's uncompromising aural sensibilities have been responsible for 3 decades of deviant melodic excellence, including about a dozen solid solo releases in the oughts alone. Unlike so much experimentalism today, Edward's ideas are exploratory without sounding noodley or samey, making each of his prodigious progeny worth assembling. "A Pleasure Cruise Through 9 Dimensions" successfully takes yet another left turn by presenting an album covered in concrete. Musique concrete. Edward has eschewed all song structure in favor of avant-garde soundscapes. The word "soundscapes" is almost a dirty word in most cases, but EKS attacks sound like a master sculptor, freeing unique and surprising sonic forms from the ether. He brilliantly decoupages electronics with emotional otherness, punctuated by disembodied voices that bubble up from the beyond. This is what Xenakis and Schaeffer listen to in electro-acoustic Heaven. Why be outward-bound when you can be Edward-bound?
