    TWO NEW VESPERO'S ALBUMS HIT THE STREETS THIS OCTOBER
    VESPERO "BY THE WATERS OF TOMORROW" (2010, R058 CD)




    "This is the first time the band recorded a completely instrumental album: over one hour of excellent space-psychedelia and esoteric-rock. Their most mature and sophisticated work to date." - from RAIG release-statement. Be sure to order from RAIG (http://www.raig.ru)
    VESPERO "LIVENTURE N.21" (2010, GPS001 12"LP)




    "First release in Golden Pavilion’s new 'Silver line'. A southern Russian wonder band formed in Astrakhan, playing a blend of dark psychedelic and prog textures with delightful spacey sounding instrumental passages and an underlying krautrock feel. This collector’s vinyl edition includes an extra track not available anywhere else. Limited vinyl release of 300 copies in stunning original artwork with mouth-watering gold foil & textured cover." - from Golden Pavilion release-statement. Be sure to order your copy from Golden Pavilion (http://www.golden-pavilion.com/)

    Well now, thanks to those clever people at BANDCAMP.COM, Shelfy & Minty have made it possible for you to enjoy the entire "TALES FROM THE WINGED EYEBALL" album in glorious streamin' high-fidelity S-T-E-R-R-R-R-R-E-E-O-O in the privacy of your own head (It's A Freaky Trip On 'Phones!). If you really like it, then you can HAVE IT FOR NOTHING in any darn digital format that takes yer fancy! Well, I never.

    Meanwhile, the resident player on the Rabid Sow MySpace now features four more tracks that didn't quite make it onto the album. Rejects, if you will. Except they're not bad at all.

    PS... Some of you may have been deterred from downloading this delightful product because you were previously asked for your contact details (e-mail address, postcode etc) before you did so. Just to let you know - THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE! I've now un-checked the box for the e-mail option and you can download the zipfile directly. I've tried it. It works. Thank you for your patience, MINTY

We have a deep love of the lo-tech, a high pain threshold and an absolute inability to take ourselves too seriously.

Members:

Annie, when not trying to find out what noises a milk bottle can make, plays flute, sax and clarinet and creates wistfully twisted lyrics.
Glenda, if not playing the bass, loves to manipulate noise and mess with off-centred and otherwise effected records as well as heavily-treated, sampled and looped guitars and such like.
Nick is essentially a drummer who thinks the whole world is a drumkit; he also likes to explore unlikely sound sources usually involving the juxtaposition of household objects and is often seen with his trusty dictaphone to hand.
Will basically likes hitting things with varying degrees of violence: sometimes suspended gearbox housings but more normally just a guitar or a keyboard.
(We are also sometimes blessed with the contributions of others; most notably Phony Reality on "excerpts" and "T50 + 1", and Pragito/Steve Higgins on "Relentless").
