We have a new label to welcome to The Artist Shop - Burning Shed
<http://www.artist-shop.com/burningshed>
Burning Shed is a new online on-demand CDR label set up by Tim Bowness
and Peter Chilvers in association with Noisebox label boss Pete
Morgan. Run by artists for artists, the intention is to create a
strongly focused, artistically coherent and financially feasible
medium through which uniquely packaged CDRs of creative non-mainstream
music can be sold at a budget price as and when they're requested.
The first run of releases includes an album of previously unreleased
material by Steven Wilson's (No-Man/Porcupine Tree) celebrated
electronica creation Bass Communion, the second album by ambient folk
band Alias Grace, a compiliation of singles by post-rock miserablists
and John Peel favourites Navigator and an unreleased live album by
brooding, late night singer-songwriter project Tim Bowness / Samuel
Smiles dating from 1991.
Coming Soon!!!
No-Man/Radio Sessions ....import CD-R
A sonically excellent CD-R release of the best of No-Man's radio
session recordings, including the celebrated 'Hit The North' session
with a live band including Jansen, Barbieri and Karn, plus material
taken from a number of radio sessions recorded between 1992 and 1996
with various different line-ups, including several 'unplugged'
performances and appearances by Colin Edwin and Chris Maitland (both
later of Porcupine Tree). Please note that, in accordance with the
band's wishes, this continues with the original packaging: a CD Jewel
case with a simple printed insert, instead of the more intricate
Burning Shed packaging.
Bass Communion/Bass Communion (3) ....import CD-R
The third self-titled Bass Communion release carries on where its
distinguished predecessors left off by creating a distinctive and
emotionally resonant fusion of ambient loop music, electro-minimalism
and darkly evocative textures.
Tim Bowness and Samuel Smiles/Live Archive One ....import CD-R
Comprising three separate 'live in the studio' sessions dating from
1991-99, the bulk of this recording is culled from the band's stint in
Liverpool's famous Amazon Studios in 1991 and showcases the band at a
fascinating, formative phase in their development. Cheap heartache
and high emotion at croon central, guaranteed.
Alias Grace/Storm Blue Evening ....import CD-R
Featuring hauntingly melancholy songs adorned with constantly shifting
atmospheric arrangements, Alias Grace's second album 'Storm Blue
Evening' develops further the intimate and beguiling nature of their
charmed debut album and captures perfectly the maturing writing style
of Irish singer-songwriter Sandra O'Neill and Samuel Smiles' pianist
Peter Chilvers. The album also features cameo appearances from Myke
Clifford, Mike Bearpark and Tim Bowness.
Navigator/Noisebox Singles '96-'97 ....import CD-R
Shifting from brooding and intense croon-laden epics to out-rock
experiments that evoke Tortoise and Bark Psychosis at their best, this
represents a collection of all Navigator's output for the respected
Noisebox label.
Alias Grace/Embers ....import CD-R
Debut album by the songwriters with the atmospheric touch, first
released in 1998. The album also features 'Talk Simple', a reworking
of the lyric of No-Man's 'Tulip', and a guest appearance by Tim
Bowness.
