Thanksgiver – Botany Bay (Submarine Broadcasting Company)

Posted by John Lithium on

a3943642405_10

Label Description:

A bit of a first here on the Sub.

Our new release is in fact a re-release. ‘Thanksgiver’ by Botany Bay is a beautiful album by Schall und Stille artist Stephan Kleinhert whose albums Biike and The Drunken Fisherman were rightfully well received here.

Thanksgiver is a swampy reverb heavy minimalist elegy that leads with the 20 minute Winter Wolfpack Serenade. To-die-for vocals by Stefanie Mühr and a growing orchestra of bluesy angst. Like ECM meets Daniel Lanois recording Maria Muldaur, it’s simply gorgeous.

This is a stunningly produced work that deserves to find a bigger audience. Originally self released in 2018, SubCastCo is happy to bring this work to our talented & erudite listeners.

At the time of the initial release Stephan had the album pressed to vinyl. We would be super happy if we could encourage our listeners to head over to the Botany Bay BC page and make a purchase. It’s an artistically exceptionally made release with well thought through spot-UV over matt black card with inserts. A perfect clean sounding press for your audiophile pleasure guaranteed.

So, get on this and tell your friends. It’s absolutely wonderful.

For the Beauty, as the tag line says…..

Dream Division & The Library Of The Occult Electronic Orchestra – A Rose In The Garden Of Winter (Library Of The Occult)

Posted by John Lithium on

a1492427966_10

Label Description:

This album marks a significant evolution for Dream Division, evolving from a solo project into a full band experience. Blending the rich sounds of Italian soundtracks with psychedelic rock, Tom McDowell, the band’s core member and founder of Library of the Occult Records, has assembled an all-star lineup for this collaborative record. Featuring members of The Hologram People, Garden Gate, The Psychic Circle, Miles Brown and Men From S.P.E.C.T.R.E., the album navigates through genres while maintaining a cinematic essence. From the sinister melancholy tones of ‘Black Rose’ to the Giorgio Moroder-esque Giallo disco of ‘Technicolor Terror,’ ‘A Rose in the Garden of Winter’ unfolds like a lost soundtrack to a classic ’70s Giallo film.

The Implicit Order – Musique Concrete 1994-2024 (Wholeness Recordings)

Posted by John Lithium on

a1707792981_10

Label Description:

A collection of concrete compositions and location recordings from the past 30 years of my archive. The recordings are presented in the way in which they were composed and recorded. Meaning they can vary in volume and fidelity. Most of the composed concrete pieces were mixed on a 4-track tape machine with delay and distortion from a rack mount processer(sic). No DAW effects or compression was applied to these raw tracks. The DAW was only used to transfer these recordings to the digital domain.
NOTE: MC = Musique Concrete piece. LR = location recording.
