About me: Wonderful Wooden Reasons is a fanzine dedicated to experimental and non-commercial musics of all forms. The very fact that our name has been shamelessly stolen from the magnificent Faust should give you some idea of where our allegiances lie...............
We are the in-house magazine for the Quiet World label (previously known as Elvis Coffee Records or ECR) and we are home to artists such as Psychic Space Invasion, Itto and The Buff Monkey Ensemble..............
We started the zine to let people know about some of the cool music we were gifted or had bought. We don't review our own releases but you'll please allow us the conceit of recommending you check out our download page at the site listed below..............
As a fanzine we are interested in all forms of experimental and drone music. Also noise, ambient, psychedelia, death metal, industrial, jazz, post rock, we listen to everything we're sent. We only have one rule. If we don't like it we won't review it. If there are things about it we liked we'll include it, we won't gloss over those things that we don't, but, just cause we don't like it doesn't mean it's crap so we don't rubbish anything................
We accept all formats for review but please send the finished article, including the sleeve, inserts, etc, so we can give a full review. We are also always on the lookout for things to read and watch. However, we rarely have time to download mp3s and we don't open attachments. We like things we can hold and appreciate.................

All good things.
This wonderful cd brings you gentle, floating, euphoric drones from Italy. Dimenticanza can be best translated as "Overview" And this is exactly what the drones do. My personal favorite of this cd is "Transparent Lids". This is a must to have for the fans of euphoric floating drones!! first run of 50 copies. Cds come in handpressed paper with pieces of flowers.

OUT NOW on Idiosyncratics Records : Phil Maggi - Blue Fields in Paramount CD
..Blue Fields in Paramount is a very personal and fascinating opus, a beautiful introduction to the style of this talented artist, that could be qualified as 'dark psychedelia for daydream believers'. It has been mastered by James Plotkin (Khlyst, Khanate, Old, Phantom) and is out now as a stricly limited to 300 copies ekopack edition with a fantastic artwork by czech artist Jan Karpisek...
Dear Ian, a new album is out. We hope you don't mind the "commercial" Have a nice week! CMP-Crew
News:
(CMP 22) The Infrared Experience - White Pure Guitar project. Beautiful melodies mixed with haunting atmospheres and sound textures. Experimental guitar sounds/Ambient Post Rock/ Guitar Sound Textures etc. 3x foldable cover, strictly limited collectors edition, pro diamond dye. Release date: 15th June 2009. Album is out now!
My debut CD album, The Chiasmus, will be co-released with Basses Frequences (www.bassesfrequences.org) in France and will be available in the beginning of June.
Jerome and I have decided to stream the album until that point because we feel like it's truly the best way to fully understand the album. An excerpt doesn't do it justice because each track is quite different.
The album's artwork was hand-picked to correlate with the sound-world created. It's a sixteen page booklet of art packaged in a jewel case and limited to 500 copies. We are very proud and grateful to be able to share it with you all!
I would love to hear your thoughts on the album, so please send a message back after you've had a chance to listen to it. My biggest recommendation when listening to it is to make sure you have time to listen to it all the way through (it's about 60 minutes long) and listen to it on a decent stereo. Or I can shut up and you can listen however you want. That works too. :P
Anyway, the album can be listened to here:
http://thechiasmus.naszczepanik.com
And will soon be available for purchase at the beginning of June. Don't worry, we'll send out another email then to remind you. Wink
