current releases:

Jupiterdogs
PR09
3" cdr on card stock with stickers & 2 cover variants
improv / jupiter / space folks
'strange monotonous tensions and will keep you listening with bated breath. i like the way they seem to have bypassed all ‘conventional’ modes of normal improvisation.' sound projector (sep 2008)

C Joynes 'Pianer Magick'
PR07
3" cdr on silkscreened card (2 colours & 7" size)
piano / prepared / boxes / improv
'eleven short pieces for the piano appear at first to be inconclusive, abrupt and inscrutable, yet I am persuaded there is much hidden meaning locked in these haiku-like statements. the cover art seems to depict a flock of wild birds, seen through the overlaid rough-hewn mandala with a square cut out of it. very good.' sound projector (aug 2008)
Lionshare 'From the Ground'
PR008
CD /LP
british/psych/folk/cambridge/green
lp ltd to 500 copies on 180 gsm vinyl
'it's an interesting, dense, beautiful and rewarding piece of work, which would make a welcome addition to the record collection of anyone with a passing interest in the more experimental end of the folk spectrum'. tasty fanzine (jan 2008)
'this combines rich instrumentation with a slightly ramshackle character to produce an album of psychedelic folk, as seen through a filter of classic Brit-folk'. jumbo records (march 2008)
'an outstanding debut which doesn't just hint at greatness but delivers it fresh and sanguine on a plate'. moving tone (jan 2008)

Jupiterdogs
PR06
3" cdr on card stock
(7" sze)
improv/time travel/death blues/garage
'this one has four tracks again, but adds a piano to the mix of instruments, giving the proceedings a heavier, darker atmosphere than before. the tracks end abruptly and the whole thing has the feel of something you've observed sub rosa, but there's something jandek-like about the whole thing that I find wildly appealing' jon dale, the wire (oct 2007)
'highly intriguing outing of low key darkness' sound projector (july 2007)

Dead Rat Orchestra 'Live at St. Martin's Church'
PR02
cdr on hand painted cardstock in various colours
(fold over cd size)
limited 300 copies
'ending with the same tinkling percussion in which the album began, the set feels less like a short run CDR of a rambling improvisation than a brilliant “live” album in an age when that seems to be a quickly diminishing term' kenneth zubiate, foxy digitalis (august 2007)
'truely underground, experimental and intrinisically unclassifiable. highly recommended for those with ears for eccentricity and originality'. leicester bangs (nov 2007)

new sleeve design for numbers 100 - 300.
Haeti & CR 'Uncle Bill'
PR04
cdr on cardstock
(7" size)
'an excellent example of contemporary improvisation, which leans nobly towards the Morton Feldman-inspired corner of modern composition.' boomkat (feb 2008)

Jupiter Dogs 'Jupiter Dogs'
PR03 (3 cover variants)
3" cdr on card stock
(7" size)
'the results sound as drugged as the atmosphere reportedly was, and the string bash gently into each other as they slow race to get under
our skin. the material is extremely diffuse but as
compelling as hell' byron coley, the wire (april 2007)
'it gets props for interesting packaging (a 3” mini disc on a hand-stickered card) and for sounding like the score to a low budget indie flick.
it has the right amount of dark tension and some very beautiful melodies at times' erica rucker, foxy digitalis (may 2007)
all releases handmade and limited to 2oo copies unless noted otherwise
all releases available from here.
