Vinyl Release Update

So, do you remember how a few months ago I had stated that I was working on casting my own records? Well after numerous tests and a fair bit of thinking I've decided to cancel that idea. One of the main reasons for this is that I just wasn't completely happy with the sound quality of the experiments I was doing and wasn't convinced I would be happy with the end result.
However, fear not because I've instead decided to press proper records at a proper record plant! So instead of hand casted, one-sided records of questionable quality, my next release will be a limited run of proper vinyl.
What this means though is that the next release will be a handful of months later than the original March/April timeframe I had been planning on. This is because I will be including more music in this release than originally thought, as well as time that it will take to both get the music mastered as well as pressed. When I have a firmer date for release, I will post that info here.
What I can share are pictures of the outer sleeves that I am planning on releasing the records in. These covers will be die-cut, meaning the sleeves will have the design cut out of them, rather than be printed on. Check them out below. I think they look pretty slick and perhaps you will too.

Underground ÄxpÄrten



















Yesterday was the first time I've logged into Facebook in a number of weeks and I was greeted by a message from one Dieter Löckener from an organization called Underground ÄxpÄrten out in Germany to let me know that io audio recordings was part of their Underground Trips radio show. Super cool! Unfortunately, the show was broadcast on 2/1/19 so as far as I know, none of us will be able to listen in at this point. However, what I can do is direct you to the following link: 
Here you will be able to listen to a number of the psych, space rock, and stoner rock artists featured in the broadcast. While I haven't yet listened to all of them yet, what I have listened to is quite good and certainly worth your time.
Also check out the various shows broadcast on the Underground ÄxpÄrten website at http://www.underground-aexpaerten.de. There are a number of interesting shows listed in their calendar so I'm pretty sure most people who would visit this page will find something of interest. In fact tomorrow there is something called "Kozmik Artifactz" which certainly has me interested!
In any case, a big thank you to Dieter and the Underground ÄxpÄrten crew for not only playing io audio recordings, but for supporting and promoting underground music in general. Your work is much appreciated.
