Embrace winter with Pye Corner Audio…
As you may know, the first fruit of our Head Technician’s labour, ‘Black Mill Tapes Volume 1’ is unleashed this Sunday, the 31st of October.
Featuring 10-and-a-bit tracks of analogue ambience, proto-dancefloor inventions and haunted tape-echo abuse, it’s the ideal accompaniment to fireside meditation (pipe not mandatory).
These fine fellows agree…

Third in an occasional series…
Technical Notes…
Whilst having a bit of a tidy up, we came across this in our Head Technicians wastepaper basket…
…we think the isopropyl vapours may be getting to him, should we be worried?
We really shouldn’t!
As it seems to be an age until Volume 1’s release date, Our Head Technician is unexpectedly allowing us to give away a bonus number that was earmarked for Volume 2.
Snappily titled ‘Unmarked Reel Two, Track One’ it appears to be the last arpeggiations (?) of an expired synthesiser, accompanied by…strange disturbances…
As part of our ongoing quality control efforts, please come and leave a comment once you have obtained said number.

The release features compositions by an unknown artist, collated from a number of abandoned tapes purchased at auction.
Titled ‘Black Mill Tapes Volume 1’ the album contains 10 tracks of atmospheric electronic numbers and proto-dancefloor foot tappers…
EDIT: removed Bandcamp link for the time being as they don’t handle empty pages very elegantly 😦 Will be back up when album goes live…Ta!, PCATS
UPDATE: link is now active…go get it!
Awayday #1
Strange things afoot on the A25…
Whilst travelling along the A25 en route to Mogador, (that once fine hamlet, cruelly dissected by the M25, and home to my favourite tobacconist) I experienced a bout of temporal dislocation.
As everyone knows, these seem to occur mainly on those misty autumn mornings, when you are least expecting them.
However, on this occasion, I was helped along the way by this fine recording…certainly did the trick!
Due to the displacement, my tobacconist was still slumbering when I turned up.
Oh dear…
