10 new (+ 3 semi-new) releases... new podcast... so much to news!

[A Beard of Snails]

Hello,

Fi-nal-ly time to update you on current goings on!
As the subject line warns, there is plenty of news, so I'll be as
brief as possible, hopefully not forgetting anything...

(For more words, colours, graphics, sounds, etc., http://www.abeardofsnails.com
, yep)


Last month, these three lovely titles were discreetly unleashed:

- Riasni Drova Consort "Berezhene" (CD-R)
- Old Man Forest "Made Up Saints" (CD-R)
- Pacific Mausoleum "America's Hat" (CD-R)


Today, ten new releases - among them, the label's first seven tapes:

- Matthew Riley / The Big Drum in the Sky Religion (c48)
- Lefterna / Pacific Mausoleum (c21)
- nodolby "nodolby" (c8)
- Black Velvet Stereo "Iron Trees E.P." (c19)
- Brian Green "Twine" (c30)
- HysM?Duo "Vorstellungen" (c30)
- Merankorii "Alain" (c30)
- Mark Bradley "When Art Imitates Life" (CD-R)
- The Big Drum in the Sky Religion "Rangda Electric" (CD-R)
- Saturn Form Essence "Deep Space Journey" (CD-R)

For convenience/flexibility/hurrah for choice!, samples from the above
ten can be listened to via this "little" new-batch-playlist I put
together: http://soundcloud.com/abeardofsnailsrecords/sets/july-2011-batch
(been wanting to introduce this option for a while; just happens that
two of my favourite tape labels are already doing the same thing,
ahem)... in addition to being available for download from
abeardofsnails.com as usual.

Predominantly excerpts this time around (most are snippets of 20+
minute tracks; "Rangda Electric" by The Big Drum in the Sky Religion
is a 77 minute burner... so I obviously had to limit things) -
Soundcloud only allots two hours per "free account".

OK, now that you've maybe listened* / looked, you might want to
purchase some tapes and/or CD-Rs...

For the time being, I've eliminated all shipping fees - to keep stuff
as reasonably priced for almost everyone as possible.

Also, the package deal thing is still in effect: buy 5 items and save
more (you're welcome to make use of the package deal as much as you
want...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Up next: Scared Crow "Love in a Dream" (CD-R), Clathrus "Lanugo" (3"),
Dao De Noize "Nasreddinoize" (CD-R),
Caligine "Anomia Mediterranea" (CD-R)... plus...?

And then: the Strongly Imploded / Matomeri 7", in addition to The Old
Rig / Hobo Cubes / Saturn Finger / Balder- 2x 7"...currently at their
respective pressing plants, in various states of completion!

* Ah yes, ABofS's second podcast went live the other day. Sounds from
exciting future releases (and a few from the just-released-batch) are
