Ellipse - Abandoned
Continuing in quick succession the spirit of rendering the old as new, today finds us with Ellipse’s Abandoned. The title of the EP is a double entendre: each of the four pieces is part of a concept that revolves around the departure from Earth in favour of finding home on other heavenly bodies; at the same time, the title refers to the fact that this project was initiated two years ago and was intended to be considerably longer. These were, in fact, Ellipse’s first attempts at music of an ambient nature, and simply fell to the wayside as the artist progressed away from the new agey style you will find within.
So, in the spirit of rebirth, here it is. Don some headphones and turn your gaze heavenward.
Tracklisting:
- Exodus From a Blue Planet (6:29)
- The Destitution of Ashen Canyons (6:52)
- Sunrise Over the Umber Plains (7:05)
- Golden Cities in the Troposphere (6:08)

Hemostat - I
Skrow! is proud to present our momentous tenth release (double digits, dammit!), and what makes it even better is that it’s another nifty nugget of noisome noise from our friendly neighbourhood Hemostat.
What makes this honour all the more honourable is that this collection is a reissue of Hemostat’s first forays into digital noise. Originally released 8 years ago on long out of print CD-R, this digital reissue is remastered, rehashed and reactuated, with additional material not appearing on the original release. 40 tracks of schizophrenic stereo subversion for your terror and bemusement. As always, we suggest playing this in your automobile at excessive volumes while gesturing obscenely at fellow motorists. Enjoy!
