A quick preview of what's lined up for 2005:

..........

First a split cdr with kindred spirits The North Sea, to be released on Larkfall in January. Secondly, a full length XETB cd entitled Toadsman's Bell, out on Digitalis in February. More info to follow! Who knows, the Lychgate Seers might be along sometime soon too!
A few new, appropriately wintery, pictures have been uploaded too. Hope all who read this have a good new year!

Good evening! I'm back - there are now no remaining copies of The Hieroglyphic Mountain, although I'm sure that the guys at Deserted Village will be able to sort you out with a copy if you wish.
An interview with myself, conducted by Brad Rose, can be found at the latest update of the wonderful Foxy Digitialis zine, which also has interviews with Vashti Bunyan, Simon Finn and other luminaries. there's also a small write-up of Heiroglyphic Mountain on the Psychedelic Albums website, which features many, many fine mind-expanding albums from the 60s to the 00s.

Just a quick note to say that I'll be unable to fill any orders between 15th-21st November. Also, I only have one copy of The Hieroglyphic Moutain remaining and three of A Selenographic Lens, so it might be worth your while to enquire beforehand about the availability of these. New recordings in progress featuring the mystical Samhain fire rites of the Landless Lord and the rusted ceremonial bells of ancient toadsmen.

It's here! Copies of the new XETB release on Deserted Village are availble on the distribution page. Foxy Digitalis have also published a favorable review, which is very nice of them! Archaic tones and drones from Wharfedale and North Yorkshire...

A new Xenis Emputae Travelling Band 3" cdr is available on the recordings page. Two etheric excursions into the unknown, stirring up the ghost of Long Lankin and pondering the craft of Frantisek Rindt.

A small publication entitled "The Magical Calfskin of Theodore Debris" is currently in preparation - further details to follow. Also, a release from folk-concrete duo The Lychgate Seers is hopefully lined up for Autumn/Winter.

Small update - added a couple of new pictures from the last gig. Also, and more importantly, the henge complex of Thornborough, of very special significance to myself, is under attack from Tarmac's proposals to extend their quarrying operations - please visit Heritage Action's site or e-mail thornborough(AT)heritageaction.org for a letter writing kit.
