| Khate - Pareidolia LP (Limited Edition Vinyl LP) SMTG ltd. 12-017 |
||||
|
|
"Pareidolia is the first vinyl collection from Khate, Virginia's one woman orchestra of odd instruments and an artist who embraces the significance of random sound. Each sound is absorbed, enhanced by all the sounds that follow, until the listener is transported someplace supernatural. Circuit bent electronics, synths, and other devices buzz, throb, and fizzle in a fog of found sound. You become trapped in rhythmic hypnosis, dancing in the dark corners of a forgotten place with memories that aren't your own. Limited edition of 300 copies housed in silkscreened covers. Mastered by James Plotkin."

| Ekkehard Ehlers + Paul Wirkus - Ballads LP (Limited Vinyl LP) SMTG ltd. 12-016 |
||||
|
"One of electronic music's most enigmatic artists, Ekkehard Ehlers, teams up with percussionist Paul Wirkus for a selection of freeform avant-garde compositions that cross-pollinate the building blocks of jazz with extreme and often highly adventurous electronic treatments. Its boundlessly explorotory nature makes it an enthralling listen throughout. Originally intended to be a digital only release by Staubgold, the material has been remastered by James Plotkin to create this wonderfully warm sounding vinyl release. Limited edition of 300 copies and will not be repressed again. Comes in a beautiful, two color silkscreened jacket. "

| Anduin + Jasper TX - The Bending Of Light LP + CD (Limited Vinyl LP + Compact Disc) SMTG ltd. 12-014 |
||||
|
|
"The Bending Of Light is a collaboration between Gothenburg Sweden's Jasper TX (aka Dag Rosenqvist) and Richmond Virginia's Anduin (aka Jonathan Lee). These six tracks, titled with quotes from Carl Sagan about the formation of a black hole, are monstrous vacuums of darkness broken apart by rays of light. The deep guitar tones and wavering synthesizers layered over waves of textured sound creates electronica that's totally subtle yet strikingly beautiful. A wonderful addition to both artist's growing catalog of music. Artwork by Dan Owen. Mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate). LP version is limited 300 copies in silkscreened jackets with both the vinyl and the CD inside."

| Xela - Heirs Of The Fire LP (Limited Edition Vinyl LP) SMTG ltd. 12-012 |
||||
|
|
"Blissed out vocals turn into a choir that rolls off into layers of sound, both electric and acoustic. Heirs Of The Fire is John Twell's sonic interpretation of a quote from the Koran. It's a more melodic and mysterious Xela record than some might expect, but it still holds plenty of darkness. Recorded live in one take using vocals, guitar, and a sampler, this was originally released by the UK artist on CDR before his last US tour. This version of the recording includes drums by Mike Weis (Zelienople) to mimic the live shows he's done with Xela playing this very material. Mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate). Art by Erik Skodvin (Svarte Greiner). Housed in a two color, silkscreened jacket."

||||
|
"Forever Waiting is the debut full length from Richmond VA's Jonathan Lee (aka Anduin), member of experimental band Souvenir's Young America (Crucial Blast). Hypnotic pulses creep between effect soaked field recordings and waves of rumbling synth, blurring the line between shadowy soundscaping and claustrophobic atmospherics. 8 songs of dark ambient, kaleidoscopic bliss. Close your eyes, put the headphones on, and let your body float down river to beautiful, dark places. Featuring appearances by artists like Xela (Type), Jasper TX (Miasmah), Noah Saval, Caustic Castle, Clifford Schwing, and Bryan Walthall. Mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, Sunn). Limited to 300 copies of color vinyl with cd, insert, and silk screened cover art by Zachary Howard of Conifer."

| Svarte Greiner / Anduin - Black River (live) 7" (Limited 7" Vinyl) SMTG ltd. 07-013 |
||||
|
"Svarte Greiner's Erik Skodvin performed his first US shows in 2008 and many of those dates were with Anduin's Jonathan Lee. Each night after their solo sets, the two artists would do an improv collaboration to cap off the evening. This recording capture's one of these performances. Titled by combining the interpretations of both artist's names, Black River (Live) is a slow rolling yet powerful wall of sound that continues to build until the very end. Limited to 300 copies and housed in a black sleeve. Mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate)."
