140g vinyl in screened sleeves and with a pressing of 110 numbered copies: solo guitar work from Pilia, a member of ¾ Had Been Eliminated. This one runs through a bunch of styles, taking off on a screaming, almost Masayuki Takayanagi/Taku Sugimoto style and moving into short folk primitives, Charalambides-esque drone/blues and repeating percussive tones. Impressive.

Edition of only 200 copies hand-numbered LP, the vinyl debut for Bill Nace’s (Northampton Wools/Blood Stereo/Vampire Belt et al) extended solo guitar experiments. Nace uses various preparations and plays the guitar on his lap, building from clanging blues-infected single-string squeal through sanctified feedback and hovering tones before sounding doomy percussive bells and taking off into all-out guitar splurge. Aspects of Too Dead For Dreaming seem too reflect on some of Heather Leigh’s earlier pedal string work, an area ripe for further exploration.
