Lovely review of The First Day (out Friday!) on A Closer Listen :) Thank you John!
Final numbers already
Hey guys, amazingly we are down to our last 250 copies of ‘The First Day’, a full week before actual release. I’ve tried to warn people as much as possible but this will be my last one! We will NOT be doing a re-issue of this until at least 2014!!! Thanks :)
bvdub pre-orders up! →
After getting a lot (I mean - A LOT!) of emails about pre-ordering of the bvdub latest (‘The First Day’) - we have decided to bite the inevitable bullet and put it up for pre-order now. We have also put the limited second edition of ‘Tribes at the Temple of Silence’ up as well in the store. Please note that we will NOT be doing a second (or third) edition of these until at...

Just I was off to get some sleep, I got an email that the printers have been very slightly delayed in the prints for the second edition of ‘Tribes at the Temple of Silence’. The new delivery date is now next Thursday (16th) which means we have been forced to push the release date back for The First Day and the re-issue of Tribes… to the 24th so all distributors can get their...

Back from the mountains - my poor wife came back with a sprained neck (owwweeee!) so can’t move this week! :( Anyway, just wanted to add an update I did on the Tokyo Droning site before we left…off to bed x

Made In Japan
After the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake here in Japan, many local businesses started to have a hard time financially, with many forced to close down. About six months prior to this, I discovered a small paper maker in my local neighbourhood who make their own recycled matte print paper. Only after the earthquake did I discover that the company was actually originally from Fukushima where many families...

I’ve got nothing but admiration and respect. One of the very best music writers around (Richard Allen) has left The Silent Ballet, and set up a site dedicated to reviewing and supporting music they love.
