DAT HELL TO BE CD-R, KONE TO BE SILVER CD
May 13, 2008
Hi everybody
Well, after looking into doing both of these releases on silver discs, I got a price quote for doing DAT HELL that was really way above what is feasible for this release. Basically, DAT HELL is alot more costly to make due to the fact that it is a double cd, and also will have a 6 page booklet in it. So the costs are way up, but the interest in DAT HELL is reserved to the most loyal of my customers. I dont expect presales to be very high on DAT HELL, but with KONE, its another story. KONE will definitely, without question, be manufactured by BLRR and they will be silver discs. DAT HELL will be done at the same manufacturing place I have done all of my releases previously, simply because they will make as many as I need, which will be based on how many orders come in from you, the loyal customer.
SO what this means, is that if you pre-ordered the combination of DAT HELL and KONE, and you are unhappy about this development, email me and I will refund you your money. I dont want anyone to feel let down. However I can vouch for the quality of the manufacturing that will be done with DAT HELL and it promises to be an awesome package. Here is a tracklisting for what you will be getting!
CD 1: 1989 to 1995
Pubic Public pt 1 and 3, The Party's Over, Snackin on Acid, Big Bud, Horsey, Barb, Creaker, Digi Armpit, TimPhunck, Passover, Corrections
CD 2: 1995 - 2003
Shimmer, Out there, Spank, Leonard, All of us dead, Stains, Sweeping Source, Simpleton demo, Interspazz, Easier, Get Some Rest, Quando, Ma,
Its ok if your bells are digital, You make, Indojam
There will be lots of little nuggets of weirdness dotted throughout.
So, the same deal is still active - 35 for both DAT HELL and Kone. 20 each. Send money through paypal to musicatdhsound@gmail.com.
Scheduled release dates - DAT HELL - First week of June, KONE - early July.
Thanks everyone!

KONE - ON DADDY'S FARM
May 11, 2008
Someone asked "well, if Cirrhotic Psychotic bit our face off, what will On Daddy's Farm bite off?"
On Daddys Farm will bite your balls off.
RECD 007 AND 008
May 9, 2008
Hello to all Record Company people!!
The task of transferring DATs is complete, and it is now time to make an announcement!
First, DAT HELL - a collection of mental breakdowns from behind the Yellow Door will be a double cd. Even with a double cd, there is a ton of material that will be left out, perhaps to be released later as a companion disc to this one. I have been as selective as possible, while trying to make the cd a historical document. There will be extensive liner notes detailing the chronology of the music, where it was recorded, who was involved, the circumstances, etc. I think it is going to be an exciting release, although some of the older stuff on the discs is REALLY old. Kind of funny at times, but I will let you guys be the judges of that.
Following the release of DAT HELL will be the second Kone album, currently in production, entitled ON DADDY'S FARM (working title was meow meow)
This is going to be a perfect companion to the existing Kone album, full of lots of crazy, acidic and spaztic music best avoided by epileptics.
During the pre-order period, these discs can be bought as a set for 35 dollars, which will include, as always, shipping.
They will be individually priced at 20 dollars each. Due to a new relationship with Beta Lactam Ring records, these discs will be manufactured as "silver discs" and not as CDRs which has been an issue that has come up recently, and a solution has been found for. This is also exciting news.
DAT HELL will be released in June, and Kone will be shipped in July. The preorder special will expire the week of the DAT HELL mailouts, and an email will be sent at that time to alert everyone. Feel free to preorder both, or one or the other of these discs, and ensure you receive a copy. These will be strictly limited releases just like the other ones, and will be made-to-order, in order to avoid a massive overstock.
In other news, talks are in the works currently for a new Frozen Rabbit release to possibly be released to coincide with the BEEHATCH tour in Europe and the US which is being planned for October. Stay tuned for more news on that. BEEHATCH has been receiving positive reviews, and a second BEEHATCH album is also in the works, with a release planned for October 2008 as well. In other words, there is a lot going on!!
There you go! That's it for now. Many many thanks to those of you who continue to keep supporting this label!
Also - the final shipment of Floatpoint mailouts should have reached all destinations by now, except for possibly some international orders, which seem to take quite a while sometimes. I hope everyone has been enjoying that release too.
Cheers!

THE RECORD COMPANY PRESENTS.......
April 27, 2008
RECD 007 - DAT HELL
RECD 008 - KONE - Meow Meow
Summer is coming and the studio is getting hot over here! As you all know, Floatpoint is SOLD OUT as of 11:59pm tonight. As well, DARK FEATURES is SOLD OUT
Here is some news!
After a painstaking process involving the real time transfer of over a hundred DAT tapes to a hard drive, it has become apparent that a bunch of very weird and cool stuff is sitting unheard, and should see the light of day. So it is with pleasure that we announce the release of DAT HELL - a collection of unreleased mental breakdowns from behind the Yellow Door. This collection will feature extensive liner notes detailing the different pieces of music, where they were made, and who was responsible. Years covered will be 1990 to 2008. View it as a little slice of history, if you will.
To be released simultaneously along with DAT HELL, is a new release by KONE, with working title of Meow Meow, which will feature a brand new batch of electronic goodies, with album art by the wonderful Allen Jaeger. It promises to be a fun filled psychotic break for all involved!
Watch for news in your INBOX regarding the release dates on these discs.
Also in the works is a second Beehatch album, which is coming together really beautifully so far, as well as plans for a North American and European tour. Stay tuned for details on that!
Now - some people have been contacting me about the fact that they have gotten CDR's with the Floatpoint, 1221, Kone and 4am releases. These discs are infact CDRs manufactured at a professional facility, but unfortunately, they will not replicate the other types of cds for orders less than 1000. If anyone has suggestions for us to get around this minimum order requirement for cd replication, we would very much appreciate it, as I prefer replication to duplication any day of the week....the reality though, is that we are selling, at most, about 300 copies of each title. What I am trying to do here is keep offering new music, and to provide as professional a product as is possible. However, all customers should be aware of this detail. I do not want anyone to feel "ripped off" - this is a problem I am actively looking for a solution to. Also, if anyone anywhere has any problems whatsoever with the functionality of their cds that they receive from me over here, please let me know, and I will send a replacement immediately. I have kept a prudent reserve of all titles in order to accommodate this possibility.
SO! Thats it for now....things will be quiet from around here while heavy writing mode continues. An email will go out when the store re-opens for the new titles.
(The store remains open for all of the still-available catalog items - Worlds End, Frozen Rabbit, and Kone)
thanks to everyone for keeping this ball rolling!!

FLOATPOINT SOLD OUT!!
April 23, 2008
Yep. They seem to be gone. I did the last of the mailouts today and there are a scant few left.
What this means, is that I will stop offering Floatpoint for sale as of SATURDAY APRIL 26th
I doubt I will be repressing this one, which means it will remain a limited release of 250 copies, like the others. So thanks everyone for helping me out with this one!!
If you are still waiting on your cd, it is on its way as of today, I promise - there were about 50 mailed out.
ok, thats it for now....

FLOATPOINT MAILOUTS!!!
April 19, 2008
Hi people. Im tired today. Guess why?
Almost 200 copies of the Floatpoint CD were mailed out today!! That is most of you! Another 50 to go.
The remaining copies will go out on Tuesday. Everyone should be getting their copies by the end of next week. Sorry for the wait. I had a bit of trouble with this one. Had an unreliable shipper for the double cd jewel cases, and seemed to keep running out of mailers. Also the printing on the front cover was 3 days late, but for some weird reason, they gave me about 500 too many. So thats...good I guess?
Anyway, I hope you like it!
Also, for those who are unaware, there is a 1 hour FREE download of a live show I did with Longwalkshortdock in Vancouver available from
www.philwestern.net
Enjoy!
ps: new customers! if you received this email, it is because you joined my mailing list by ordering a cd. If you wish to be removed, just let me know!

TRC RELEASES UPDATE
April 14, 2008
Hi Everyone!
Thanks to the support of all of you, as of today 1221 and, as previously announced, 4am are both completely sold out and will not be repressed. Those who ordered copies with their Floatpoint order will receive theirs, so not to worry.
Kone is down to the last few copies. It will be sold out very soon. There will NOT be a repress of this cd unless something extraordinary happens.
Floatpoint is being mailed out this week.
A new album is in the works. Watch for an announcement on it over the next month or so. Most titles released through The Record Company will continue to be fairly limited edition releases. Many thanks again for all your support on this stuff!
Also, limited numbers of Dark Features are still available, as well as the usual catalog items such as Frozen Rabbit and Worlds End.
A Beehatch tour of Europe and the US for the fall is in the planning stages. Beehatch, the album, should be arriving on doorsteps in the next two weeks.
Cheers!

FLOATPOINT - SLIGHT DELAY
April 12, 2008
Hi Everyone
Well, the good news is, I have a stack of Floatpoint cds here in front of me...the bad news is, the front cover insert will not be ready for me to pickup until Tuesday due to a manufacturing hiccup. This means mailouts will be two days later than I had planned. I am very sorry for that - Apparently the printing company were waiting for me to approve the proof on the cover, and they never thought to call me to ask why I hadn't contacted them.
Grrr.
So, expect to see the cd in your mailbox by the end of this week, or the beginning of next week. My apologies for the delay.
The mastering sounds awesome on this, thanks to Frankie Pett.

FLOATPOINT - MAILOUTS MONDAY
April 9, 2008
There are 25 copies left of the first run. Here is a peek at the cover art, assuming I know how to attach
a picture to a message properly, which I possibly don't. Thank you so much everyone for picking this one up
- once again, Frank and Simon have made the updated release a real treat.
Happy Floating....
