SHIN031: VSLS – “MIXXES”

VSLS (pronounced vessels) is the work of San Francisco composer Travis Johns. His new record, Mixxes originally began as a commission for performer/masseur Jeremie Chetrit to use in his body work sessions. We felt the end result was too good to keep sequestered in a massage studio. We proudly give to you Mixxes, a record you can leave on for days at a time.

We reccomend Mixxes at any volume for any of the following activities: sleep, sex, meditation, rest, driving down the lonliest highway, cleaning the house, corporate lobbies, reading Carl Sagan, massage, trance, seance, swimming, tripping, travelling, Skymall stress relief, or any other appropriate ritual.

SHIN027: SYMBOL – “Landspacewaterfaith”
LandSpaceWaterFaith is the debut from Brooklyn’s psychedelic/goth/newage/noise group SYMBOL. A collage of artists and musicians, Symbol’s diverse background ranges from chamber music to working on sound installations with Maryanne Amacher to guitar/feedback tricks learned from Lou Reed and psychedelic listening sessions of Iasos and Enya.

Sublime yet grotesque, Symbol’s chaos sound environments range from majestic drunken renaissance music to light/video/action performances to epic noise drones. Symbol is known as the house band for Paris London West Nile, the Brooklyn experimental arts venue run by members of the group.

Included on this album are: Zeljko McMullen, Doron Sadja, Mario Diaz de Leon, Brooke Gillespie, MV Carbon, and Justin Craun. Recorded 2005 – 2007 in churches, homes, clubs, attics, offices and galleries.

SHIN016: FASHE – “Wigs Push Back”

“Our second rights back again for the first time, Fa She Mellowigs on seven meditating cuts selected from the year. Drippy longs ones, like “First vision of Havona”; exciting at the begending of the night, grow a OOBE wing for a tiny glimpse before the cruise is all outer islands. A real kinda smokey place, I go there to get a little “shut-eye”…waiting, inna deep, then finally you are wandering off to wait for the ruddy old whalers… soon Wave Head is Mr. Strugglins, thru the fog, before your vibes make him flicker off. Not to worry, you can chant again tomorrow night. Caprisun, Caprisun. “Teen Ships”, back on home sands to hoist the sailors – O, to whistles an earthy little tune! Goin home with your friends, we can’t complain.”

Creepy sleepy burners, originally inna long box style with screened disks limited to 100. Double sided mega-inkjam by Craun, Chuck Dafler, T Lowe & 73ve
