  1. Hi Mark, just been pointed at your review of Astral Social Club vs. Bacon Industries. Thanks I was very surprised anyone had noticed it and more surprised that you liked it. Hopefully we’ll have more out soon and may be playing in Leeds with a live crew at Hogwash in the New Year. Thanks again.

  2. Hi, Mark. Phil from Small Bear Records here. Thanks so much for the kind words – sometimes, on days like this f’rinstance – they can make the difference between laughter and tears!

    Phil

    • hi Phil,
      likewise thanks for the heads up, its nice that people take notice, sometimes i feel as though its just me, the headphones, the music and an over excited typing finger…great stuff all the same – love what you guys are doing – if ever these get pressed on CD’s you’ll have to send – longdrone are pretty special as are the bordellos – have a great weekend – mark

  3. Hi Mark, enjoyed the piece on ‘Pages from Ceefax’. You might find my brand of obsidian ambient terror to your taste. http://DNPdarkness.bandcamp.com/ for free download
    Cheers
    Chris

    Hi Mark
    Hi Mark

    To hear it.

  5. Hyperbubble says:

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the mention of Hyperbubble in your article! One thing though, and I’m proud to say this: There are absolutely no samples in Christmas with the Bee Gees. Hyperbubble did all of the music and Hyperbubble and Gracie DuVin did all of the vocals!

    Since we’re on the topic of Hyperbubble and Christmas and videos, you’ll probably get a kick out of our brand new animated Christmas vid, “A Synthesizer for Christmas”. It just came out a couple of days ago:

    Thanks again for spreading our electronic message of joy, and Hyper Holidays!

    Jeff

  7. Jim Kroft says:

    Hey Mark – thanks very much for reviewing the new single and for the positive words. Last year a local Liverpudlian band called “The Arkanes” supported me on my German/ Swiss /Austrian tour – was a great time with belly aching laughs! Sending the very best, Jim (Kroft)

  8. Rob says:

    What’s up Mark – I came across your blog as I’m listening to Geist & the Sacred Ensemble for the first time …. thought you might enjoy The Danbury Lie as well – http://www.thedanburylie.bandcamp.com .

    Here’s a little bio ….

    A forever evolving, eclectic, musical mindfuck—the rare breed of music written for the listeners to fix on whether they should stomp, shake or shriek—gathering strangers and friends alike to celebrate in its inimitability.
    Spastic genius, robust in its uncompromising originality—the expressive brainchild of one Robert Loncto with a sole purpose of taking the listener on an eerie journey deep into the mind of a freethinker.
    The Danbury Lie can be found in a dimly lit barroom or an eccentric music hall, giving their followers the unfamiliar feeling of psychic divide between musician and outsider.

  9. Rob says:

    appreciate it. definitely will. planning on sending out a batch this week so I’ll make sure one comes your way.

  10. Dave H says:

    hey mark – drop me a line. have a new split series release i’d like to send you
    dave (FatCat) –

    • Hi Dave,
      good to hear from you – long time – too long in fact – how are you – hope all is okay – just getting back to this writing lark after a month lay off due to illness ha ha – be good to hear the new split release and anything else you have kicking around….have a great one, mark

  11. Ted Selke says:

    Hi Mark,
    I wrote this out in hopes of sending it to you directly but I don’t see any way to do that.
    I wanted to let you know that I totally agree with your assessment of our version of Cream Puff War; as our guitarist Jacob said “Spot on!”. There are a lot of reasons it came out that way ~ one was that Keith preferred it to the other song I was finishing up and asked us to go all out with the phasing and panning in order to fry reviewer’s brains because it would be the last song on the promo CD. We really enjoy your writing so I hope you will forgive us this transgression. I’ll be happy to send you a copy of our new record (mostly from 2009-2010 unfortunately) when I finally finish it up. Keith was going to send out 50 copies of the not quite finished version to his press contacts but I’ve yet to see any acknowledgement of it anywhere (other than on discogs – two guys I gave it to at the “Crabstock” show in Connecticut).

    I hope to improve on it and also hope that you will like us and forgive us for our unfortunate fuckup on this one. I’m going to put out a 45 of the song Keith wasn’t as impressed by but I like a lot, a bubblegum rock version of the Grateful Dead’s Mountains of the Moon. I’m planning to put my version of All the World is Love on the other side and make it my first solo 45. I hung out with our guitarist Jacob tonight and he laid down a few solos for Yedikule, a Rebetiko we’ve been playing since our first show in 2005 that will be on the new/old record “Ormythology”.

    Thanks so much for the kind and honest words,

    Ted and TSROS

    • Hi Ted,
