Got the following update from Alien8 Recordings today, and I figure that there are folks here who might be interested. For more info, check out http://www.alien8recordings.com * * * * * VARIOUS ARTISTS WOODWORKING The timing of Woodworking couldn't be more appropriate as we are in the midst of releasing 2 new full lengths by David Kristian. Following the release of the critically acclaimed Cricklewood, we sent out copies to various admiring artists who each in turn used the cd's as a source material and returned a remix. Here we present 13 different artists remixing David Kristian. Throughout Woodworking one is subjected to many styles and interpretations. While some artists, including Aube, Farmers Manual, Goem and Rheberg & Bauer, choose to stay close to the original experimental electronic areas, others such as Disc, Lowfish, Phonecia and Solvent reside in much more listener friendly, beat oriented atmosphere. The likes of Justin K. Broadrick, Halfmoon Dragster, Square Root of Sub and Inchoate turn in the compilation's most ambient outings. We are quite proud of the line-up of participant's on this collection of remixes. As you can imagine much of the work is so heavily processed it is quite difficult to recall what is actually being remixed in the first place. There is some absolutely top notch material on Woodworking. Highlights include excellent contributions from Phonecia (I Need a Drug), Solvent ? and the guitar/electronic epic by Justin K. Broadrick. Also included is one previously unreleased track by David Kristian that resides pretty much in between experimental electronics and his more beat inspired material.
