the volume settings folder ~ Ivan Hoe and Other Tales
Ivan Hoe and Other Tales may be one of the most ambitious projects to come our way, but it’s also one of the most successful: a complex multi-media project that entertains on many levels. Even those unfamiliar with Sir Walter Scott’s

A-Sun Amissa ~ You Stood Up For Victory, We Stood Up For Less
This is a new species of beast. A-Sun Amissa has drastically thickened its sound since Desperate in Her Heavy Sleep. On the new album, the tracks are longer, the hope seems dimmer, the atmosphere has changed from filtered light to fog.

Cloned Moor ~ A friend is about to take a big risk — Help him find another way.
Jersey’s Cloned Moor used to be known as Cloned Moor Solaris. The math-sludge trio was also once a quartet, then a duo. And they used to scream. But as band member Diego writes, “things happened, we got screwed over, had bad

Annea Lockwood ~ A Sound Map of the Housatonic River
