Setting Sun Interviews...

Dear all;
April was a very busy month for ‘Setting Sun’ (http://www.geocities.com/aen1mpo) my personal and band interviewing webzine with all kinds of interviews flooding in and after that I honestly wasn’t expecting a ton to come in this month, but much to my surprise and also delight – two more interviews have come in by two acts certainly well worth off your attention.

First up, is the Mogwai meets July Skies kind of abstract ambient beauty of the Athens (Greece) based Absence without Leave who makes the kind of music which can send a real shiver down your back if you are not careful but it is done so subtle it deserves repeated listening.

Recommended.

Secondly on a very different note is the Russian bord, and also during childhood also based in Israel but now Boston (USA) Asia Mei who despite the fact had a awful comparison from one person I know to Norah Jones is a very, very talented young singer song writer who sounds like a cross (to me) like Tori Amos or Ella Fitzgerald fronting Muse or Coldplay.

Both acts are certainly well worth checking out and can be found on Setting Sun – http://www.geocities.com/aen1mpo
Current plans are suggesting too more acts are to follow soon with interviews, but of course more on that to follow shortly

Cheers

music project (remixes)

Dear all;

I know one or two of you know, but I have recently (with Keith Hicc) set ourselves up a new experimental record label ‘Hicc Records’ which can be found on

http://www.archive.org/details/hicc-records

We released recently through there the debut album by Drone wizard – the Manchester / Cambridge (UK) based ‘Distance’ which can be found here

http://www.archive.org/details/Distance-Distance

When we get chance, we will be uploading more material on here but in the meantime I thought I would tell you all about a future release we have in mind

One of my other bands ‘M.A.N.’ have just completed our second self titled album (which bits can be heard on http://www.geocities.com/aen1mpo) - I was particularly pleased with one track ‘Narnia’ and e mailed it over to a few pals just to let them hear it and before I know it, one or two pals had offered to remix it so henceforth this note.

I have uploaded it onto a dummy site off mine and thought I would ask everybody here if they would fancy having a go at remixing it… Certainly I would be issuing it on archive but I am also certainly thinking about submitting it to one or two real record labels that I know / have dealings with…

You can find it here – http://www.geocities.com/aen4mpo/nar.zip

The Zip file itself will contain splits of the vocals / music as well as the full track itself.

Completed remixes – if you could send over to my e-mail address: - aen1mpo@yahoo.co.uk

I am thinking of getting this put up online perhaps at the end of June / start off July..

Hope you are well

Cheers
