hi,

I'm guessing only a very small proportion of the PRF will actually be interested in this, but sod it, it's worth a try...

The micro label that i run, Low Point, has a new release out. It's a Split 10" Vinyl EP featuring yours truly on one side and the awesome Taiga Remains taking up the flip.

Both myself & Taiga Remains do experimental solo guitar music, so this release will possibly appeal to fans of ambient/drone stuff like Stars of the Lid, Growing, etc. Sound samples can be heard on the Low Point website - http://www.low-point.com/LP020.html

It's packaged to look like an old 78rpm and the centre labels have been designed by the PRFs very own honeyisfunny. Here's pic of what it looks like;



cool eh? Anyway, copies are on sale for £4.50 plus shipping. Please buy one so that i can get drunk this weekend with my friends.

Thanks!

grrr

This looks fucking AWESOME.

I want one.

You lot should check this out, it is SEXY.

with shipping costs included (expensive) and the current £>$, about $18

I'm certainly all over this, I listened to yr split LP with (?some guy) & it was pretty spot on I'd say, so yes, some ***/ Lid themes present but far more open ended than them. Liked it a lot.

Tho to bring things back to earth I'd say yr man Honey could do something far ...whats the word... better than this. I've seen his stuff, don't settle for this aspirin packaging bullcrap!

I've done a few split releases - i'm guessing it's the Split with Machinefabriek you're referring to - i'm glad you like it!

Chris has done quite a lot of design work for me so i know what you mean. However, the criteria was to make it look like an old 1930's 78rpm release (hence the Art-Deco font, minimalist packaging, etc), which i think the design fulfils perfectly.

It was Gareth's idea to have the green bags and have it like a 78 and he gave me some 78 label designs to look at and replicate. If I'd done it all of my own accord it would have a smoking elephant on the front which, coincidentally, is the sleeve of the new Lords record.
