So this first installment yields 5 remixes I did for friends of mine that haven't been and probably won't be released anywhere else. The lineup includes Track53 (from Archaic Horizon), Like Birds (an amazing talent that I am surprised no one else knows yet), Thisket (from Custom Music Records.before they collapsed), The Artificial Sea (a boy-girl
duo from up north) and Mrs Jynx (the Lisa Frank of electronic music!). Packaged with several different colorful retro-styled patterns and only $5. Check it out if it sounds appealing to you!

BRIAN GRAINGER - ANTHELION (NIGHT VERSION)MML021B
I've recently finished work on two versions of an album called Anthelion. Initially there was only one version but it didn't seem complete, so I revisited the material this year (after the first version was recorded last Summer) and finalized a second version that somehow makes the whole concept work, in my mind at least.
To elaborate a bit - the two versions are labeled as "white" and "night", respectively. The first difference between them is obviously the music - both discs contain four extended pieces, however the songs are polar opposites of one another. The "white" version is more ambient, built with only a lucid field recording of a sleet storm and sub-bass drones and melodies. The "night" version is more textural and very similar to my work on the Porch split with Ophibre - this one is built using more processing and live tape degradation over a backdrop of murmuring country field recordings, recorded last Summer at my mother in law's woodside home. Beyond this, the packaging for both versions is also entirely different - the "white" version is housed in a plastic sleeve with neat hologram paper inserts and decals, while the "night" version is housed in a plastic sleeve with patterned cloth-paper inserts.
These are albums built for the upcoming Summer heat and humidity. Much like Porch, the sound of the "night" version is very crisp and crackly and tonal, while the "white" version is intended to be more of a physical listening environment than an audible one. Regarding this version - I do not recommend purchasing the "white" version of Anthelion if you don't have any audio equipment that will respond to sub-bass frequencies - a decent car stereo, a subwoofer, a bigger home stereo system, or really nice headphones (mine are Bose) will all probably be just fine, but if you're looking to take Anthelion with you in your MP3 player of choice, I'd advise against it because all you're likely to hear is a field recording and some sparse clicks (that is if you're using those earbud things).
Without any further explanations - here are links to purchase each album. Get one or the other or both if you'd like, both versions are limited to 30 copies and only $8.00 each.

A very limited (almost promotional) 3" single containing both versions of my Coppice Halifax remix for Alpha Aesar's track "Synthetic Sun". Alpha Aesar asked me for a remix to include on their upcoming CD at I, Absentee and little did I know I'd end up recording an epic 17 minute dub track for it. So I did a more summed-up edit for their release with permission to release the full original mix on a limited run to the list folks. So here it is - the only time you'll get to hear both versions! This style is a bit new for me, very minimal but very hypnotic and feel-good enough to work for the Summertime. Expect more music in this vein from Coppice Halifax in the future! Anyway this is a quite limited affair as I do not want to undermine any attention from the Alpha Aesar disc, so not even 30 of these have been made. Get one for $5 if you're into it!
