About me: SENSORY PROJECTS began as a record label in 2001. Our first label release was from Germany's Kammerflimmer Kollektief, the amazing 'Maander'. 'Maander' was quickly followed up by 'The Tigers Remixes' double album, featuring remixes of The Tigers by the likes of David Pajo(Papa M/M/Aerial M) and Doug Gillard(Guided By Voices).
Following that came albums by Hood ('Cold House'), Disaster Plan, International Karate, The Rectifiers
('Wear The Weight Of The Resting Sky', 'Levy EP'), Symbiotic, Damien Jurado ('Where Shall You Take Me?' and 'On My Way To Absence'), Minus Story, Mirah
('C'Mon Miracle'), City City City, Pretty Boy Crossover, Urdog, Pivot, and Mike Noga. Sensory Projects' first label release for 2006 was Shearwater's 'Palo Santo', followed up by the brilliant 'Atlantis Regrets Nothing' by The Sand Pebbles. Our first release for 2007 was the awe-inspiring 'You Are There' by Japanese quartet MONO. 2007 also saw releases from International Karate('More of what we've heard before than we've ever heard before'), as well as Sensory Projects' Australia/New Zealand-only release of Eluvium's beautiful 'Lambent Material' and 'Talk Amongst The Trees' albums complete with bonus tracks, under the name 'Indecipherable Text'.
Pretty Boy Crossover's 'A Different Handwriting', Object's debut album, 'Asobi', MONO's 'Gone: A Collection of EP's 2000-2007' and The Tigers' 'Beautiful Forest' were also released in 2007.
In 2008, Sensory Projects have released in their most prolific fashion to date:

Hey there... heard about this label a long time back, though I haven't heard many of your acts... See Sand Pebbles a few times and really dig them and the Canon Blue track on the profile isn't too shabby either!! All the best!
Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals. "
The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.
