LULL & BETA CLOUD | CIRCADIAN RHYTHM DISTURBANCE RECONFIGURED

Press release from Cold Spring Records -

'From England to the United States and back again... it all started as a simple drone project between LULL (aka Mick Harris of Scorn, ex-Napalm Death), and BETA CLOUD (aka Carl Pace), based on the concept of how insomnia can effect your thought patterns. Billows of powerful bass drones set to indistinct flourishes of temporary insanity, it was released as a limited 3" CD in 2008. Now proudly presented in a deluxe digipak edition on cold spring, the original track is there, but also included is a fierce remix track by none other than legendary sound artist Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND), with stunning new packaging and artwork. Fans of Lull and Beta Cloud will really sink their teeth into this one; what Liles has created here is not a simple remix but a raging, deconstruction as only he can do.'

MONSTER
Coming in 2012 are at least two more additions to the MONSTER series.

The first is ‘Schmetaling Monster of Rock’ a 12 track album on vinyl only. Featuring guest vocals from M S Waldron, Maniac and Attila Csihar. This will be released by the ever supportive Dirter.

Later in 2012 will be ‘Murgatroyd the Monster (A Northern Noir)’. Currently a work in progress this recording is inspired by film noir, Yorkshire and Lancashire dialect and slang and the excellent Red Riding (a television adaptation of author David Peace's Red Riding Quartet).

2012 and BEYOND
Completed over the past 18 months are a set of recordings based on concepts on the passage of time, time travel and also in part on the ideas of John von Neumann, specifically his ideas on the self-reproducing universal constructor and his lecture ‘The General and Logical Theory of Automata’. More about von Neumann can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann

As an antidote to the tongue-in-cheek, brash and often extreme ‘Monster’ series the 'Sideways Through Time' discs are a collection of very serious, austere, melodramatic and romantic pieces primarily constructed from piano, piano strings, gongs and cymbals.

The first of the discs ‘Sideways Through Time (Illusion One)’ and ‘Sideways Through Time (Illusion Two)’ will be released via our good friends Dirter as two separate discs on the same day. They will come in a digipack and will be limited to 500 copies.

The third in the series will be ‘Fast Forward Through Time (Illusion Three)’, the label and release date to this recording is as of yet to be decided.

The fourth in the series ‘Reversing Through Time (Illusion Four) is yet to be recorded and will be probably be finished sometime in 2012 with a possible release date being late 2012 or early 2013.

ALEX JAKO
Andrew Liles has teamed up with Alex Jako to work on a project that will be available sometime in 2012. The project will comprise of a LP, link to a download of the audio material and a multi-panelled fold out sleeve of artwork from Alex. This is a release that we are very excited about.

OLDER NEWS ITEMS

OUARDA (THE SUBTLE ART OF PHYLLORHODOMANCY) : THE LOST USA EDITION | CD & DVD

The ‘forgotten’ edition of 'Ouarda...' is still available in the shop. There are 75 copies for sale and they are signed and numbered. The music is a very slightly different mix to the version issued by Dirter and comes with a separate DVD that includes one different film and stereo mixes (not the 5.1 mixes that appeared on the dual disc version). The discs come housed in a beautiful, glossy, six-panel digipack with different artwork and booklet to that of the Dirter release. The CD disc is scented. I requested that Raash have the discs scented with the smell of roses (ouarda is Arabic for rose), and after 4 years in a box surprisingly there is still a very faint odour. If you are interested in getting hold of this rare anomaly please go to the shop.

BACK IN STOCK DUE TO DEMAND :

Back in stock due to popular demand is the 'I DON'T GIVE A FUCK... I'M A MONSTER' glow in the dark silicone wristband. We have also added a new design 'WHO GIVES A SHIT.. I'M A MONSTER'. The wristbands have been confiscated at schools and caused general 'up-set' wherever worn. Show the world your general disillusion and despondency with cynical Andrew Liles sanctioned 'charity' wrist wear.

AUTO MANIPULATOR
I have had a few enquires as to if the ‘Auto Manipulator’ album will ever be re-released. Upon its release I said the album would never be released again. So in short the answer is NO. But as some kind of recompense for those that want to hear the recording you can stream the entire album for free at the Andrew Liles Mixcloud site here - http://www.mixcloud.com/andrewowenliles/ or by pressing the play arrow on the image below.
