"Feuerstern" ("Firestar") captures two tracks of luminous tones and magnetic resonances, which create a warm and floating aural flux. With mellow concrete material setting the counterpoint, very subtle hisses, smacking and clicking sounds can be distinguished. These are enriched further on Side B with field recordings by Michael Northam, made in 2006 at the Audioframes Sonic Art Festival in Herne. This was where "Feuerstern" was also performed in a choreographed way using fireworks! Very delicate tone colours and a perfectly balanced sound pattern allow for contemplative listening sessions. The 7" comes in a golden lettered and embossed grey cardboard box with golden printed inlay. First edition of 300 copies on dark red vinyl.

XENIS EMPUTAE TRAVELLING BAND - 'The Pyrognomic Glass' LP (Memoirs Of An Aesthete)
The Xenis Emputae Travelling Band is Mr. Phil Legard of the hallowe'ed borough of Yorkshire, England. He has been hard at work since 2001 making psychedelic folk-concrete inspired by the psychogeography and mythology of various secret regions of the British countryside. XETB has released plenty of limited editions over the years (all limited editions, long sold out etc etc) but, aside from one track on Cold Spring's "John Barleycorn Reborn" compilation, nothing in a "posh" format - until now. "The Pyrognomic Glass" was originally released back in 2005. By popular demand it is back, this time on vinyl, and including "Abital - or Conferences with the Genii of Nocturnal and Diurnal Dew in vii Chapters", a beautifully-printed 28 page chapbook by Mr Legard, most profitable to students of Natural Philosophy.
