ASN at wayside music
We are pleased to announce that the last two Antique Seeking Nuns CDs, Double Egg and Careful! It’s Tepid are now available from Wayside Music online. If you have ever purchased rare and unique “progressive” music titles before then there’s a strong chance that you’ve already encountered Wayside and it’s sister label Cuneiform as they are often a prog/RIO/Zeuhl/Canterbury fan’s first point of contact for buying the finest music from around the world. Here’s what they have to say about us:
A band that managed to take some of the most quintessentially ‘British’ (and to my mind, the most charming) aspects of UK progressive rock (think the song stylings of Richard Sinclair with Caravan or Hatfield or early Robert Wyatt) and graft them onto a more contemporary sound that is perhaps a bit more avant-progressive in nature as well as including influences that have nothing to do with ‘progrock’ (Tortoise! Flaming Lips!, etc). What do you have? A total winner… Highly recommended!
And who are we to disagree with that! Wayside can be found here: www.waysidemusic.com
Nunbient tracks feature in radio New Zealand broadcast
Music taken from Nunbient’s “Just Another Dark Age” album is to be featured in a radio New Zealand broadcast this month. The documentary, called Bowie’s Waiata is due to aired on the 22nd of November during the Music 101 show with Kirsten Johnstone. The documentary details Bowies visit to New Zealand and his meeting with the Maori. The shows he played in New Zealand had a huge affect on people and 25 years later the Maori he spent time with have been re-interviewed regarding their time with Bowie and the affect it had on their lives.
Nunbient | One – Just Another Dark Age is now available to buy at Burning Shed www.burningshed.com. Check the catalogue section at Troopers For Sound to see details on the new packaging designs by Carl Glover.
Sanguine Hum and Nunbient Download EPs
By the end of the year look out for two new releases from Troopers For Sound. Firstly, the live EP “Sanguine Hum Play The Nuns” which features 3 tracks recorded live earlier this year. Two are fairly radical reinterpretations of some classic Antique Seeking Nuns material whilst the third is an as yet unreleased instrumental track. The second EP is from the electronic/ambient project Nunbient and is a single 23min work called “Pagans”. Stay tuned for further details!
Also, the first reviews are slowly coming in for the final Nuns EP Careful! It’s Tepid with a positive result all round. These can be found here: http://troopersforsound.com/reviews/
and, as if that weren’t enough, the very excellent Epileptic Gibbon Podcast Show has featured the track Ointment For Flies amongst a host of other fine independent music. To listen to the show just head here: http://www.epilepticgibbon.co.uk/
