The Phoenix Cube "Walking the Shore" CDr BF020
As the reviews editor for The Ptolemaic Terrascope online, it's not surprising that Simon Lewis aka The Phoenix Cube has spent the last few years soaking up a multitude of influences from the cream of the current psychedelic underground. His passion for electronica, space rock and psychedelia from the likes of Gong and the Aphex Twin, that were notable on his previous albums as The Phoenix Cube and as part of his band Phorum, although evident on "Walking The Shore", this time round place the emphasis on bedroom recorded psych-folk and dronescapes. The album features cover art by Lewis himself, is housed in vinyl slip cases, contains an insert and is limited to 100 copies.

Pwdre Ser / Midwich "The Black Lighthouse" CDr
A Psychic-audio investigation of The Black Lighthouse, an abandoned office block overlooking a seaport town. Ten sound compositions explore the fields of dark ambient, post-punk, rhythmic industrial, and experimental drone. "Each composition has its own life and meaning, making 'The Black Lighthouse' one of the least monotone ambient/experimental records I have had the pleasure to listen to" - (review from Heathen Harvest).
James Reid "Like a Buzzard Chased by Crows" CDr BARL1
"Like A Buzzard Chased By Crows" is the debut album from the Fife based singer-songwriter James Reid. With a love for the Autumnal pastoralia of Nick Drake, forays into the woods, homemade wine, and the legendary Wickerman soundtrack, Reid combines these passions to deliver his own lo-fi folk sketches of the beautiful, and sometimes strange, rural landscapes and hedgerow habitats of his native Scotland. Armed with acoustic guitar, mandolin, a broken-down dictaphone, some demijohns and blessed with a golden larynx, Reid weaves melodies and atmospheres that draw favourable comparison to contempories like Greg Weeks and classics such as Drake's "Pink Moon" and David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name". "Like A Buzzard Chased By Crows" features cover-art by Reid himself, is packaged in jewel cases and limited to 200 copies.
