The waiting is nearly over and to help bridge the final gap the wonderful folk at n5Mailorder now have Liam Singer’s Dislocatia available for pre-order. As a bonus all CD orders come bundled with an mp3 version of the album.

The album is officially released on the 5th of October, available in all good digital stores and distributed on CD through n5Mailorder.

Hidden Shoal Recordings has announced the official CD release of the eagerly awaited fourth album by US ambient artist Slow Dancing Society.

Following on from the ebullient warmth of the critically acclaimed Priest Lake Circa ’88, Under The Sodium Lights is Drew Sullivan’s latest ambient epic. The album feels like a distillation of the three stunning releases that preceded it – and as such is Sullivan’s finest work to date. The delicate interplay between focused melodic details and blurred washes of sound draws the listener into a hypnotic state, where the waking world and the world of sleep cascade in and out of balance.

Under The Sodium Lights resonates with a rich emotional core – and the choking realisation of our own transience. The album rewards immersive listening from start to finish, to really soak in its beauty.

“a complexity of sound that allows it to stand out from traditionally ambient music… It is easy to get dissolved in this album, to let yourself fall into meditation as the music plays… Textures and timbre are executed with great precision… Even the simplest of songs allow complimentary textures to be layered upon each other to create a robust yet spacious sound… an aural delight for the listener.” – The Silent Ballet on Priest Lake Circa ’88

Under The Sodium Lights is available now on CD and in digital formats through Hidden Shoal Recordings. Head to the Hidden Shoal Store for all availability details and read a full press release here.

Liam Singer’s jaw droppingly wondrous  full length Dislocatia has been attracting some fantastic press ahead of its release next week. No less than in one of our new favourite music blogs Tome To The Weather Machine. Tome proves that the word “intelligent” can be used in the same sentence as “music criticism” – too rare! Check out the review here.

In 2003 Sankt Otten released a limited run of Zuhause Fuhle ich Mich Wie Ein Tourist [Remixes]. The EP contained remixes by other German artists around 2001/2002. The release was then available in 2003 as a 3″ special edition CD. It’s been sold out for years – until now! The charitable gentlemen of Sankt Otten have now made the songs available via Soundcloud for free! Check it out here.
