Artist:	CRUTCHFIELD, ROBIN
Title:	For Our Friends in the Enchanted Otherworld
Label:	HAND/EYE
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	H/E 032CD

"Robin co-founded the experimental no-wave art band, DNA, and later collaborated with varied artists (including Steven Brown of Tuxedomoon and filmmaker Jim Jarmusch) in the guise of his Dark Day project. His new solo explorations have been described by Devendra Banhart as 'beguiling, powerful, hypnotic, mesmerizing, commanding, delicately unnerving, lilting, mellow,' and 'tense as hell.' A tiny treasure box from a lost garden, this album finds Robin further exploring his unique world; one of delicate harp compositions, glissando & deep drones. Soundscapes for daydreamers of this & other worlds."

Artist:	STONE BREATH
Title:	A Silver Thread To Weave The Seasons (Expanded)
Label:	HAND/EYE
Format:	2CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	H/E 033CD

"Originally released in 1998, now expanded to two CDs with essential bonus material. The first disc presents the original album, long out-of-print, in all its acid-forest-drone-mantra-folk glory. These songs are of earth & spirit love, sunlight splitting open, threatening clouds, trees & birds that talk, the smell of wet earth & the sting of rain on an upturned face, firebrands scattering columns of sparks into the red twilight. The second disc returns some lost songs to Stone Breath, adds some rare songs from compilation appearances and presents a previously-unreleased track featuring Fit & Limo."

Artist:	CROW TONGUE
Title:	Ghost:Eye:Seeker
Label:	HAND/EYE
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	H/E 034CD

"Crow Tongue's first full-length finds them summoning distant howls from the fog of night. Fingerpicked strings & Eastern instruments recall CT's musical heritage (the acid-folk of Stone Breath), but here they are layered with primitive homemade instruments, circuit-bent electronics & mantric drones. 'Ghost Eye Gaze' opens the album with a 5-part drone-raga, improvised to back a shamanic chant, pushing from free-folk to free-noise & back again. 'Seeker' follows in 2 parts with bass dulcimer & tablas leading into an electric swarmandal excursion. The album closes with 'Candle, Corpse, and Bell' where Crow Tongue shows their dub influence with guimbri & tabla-machine slowly spinning through the echochamber."

Artist:	STONE BREATH
Title:	The Shepherdess And The Bone-White Bird
Label:	HAND/EYE
Format:	2CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	H/E 047CD

"Stone Breath's visionary creation of Eastern-influenced rural acid folk finally comes to CD. From fingerpicked acoustics; to clawhammer banjo excursions; to the 20-plus minute exaltation that is 'The Shepherdess of the Fiery Wheels,' Stone Breath manifest their best work to date, here in expanded form with the addition of an entire new album in collaboration with The Forest Beggars. They are clear in sight, united in purpose, and shining in the darkness." "Cracked perfection...a layered, complex worldview and juddering locked-groove acoustics" --Jeanette Leech, Shindig Magazine

Artist:	STONE BREATH/MIKE SEED WITH LANGUAGE OF LIGHT
Title:	The Aetheric Lamp
Label:	HAND/EYE
Format:	LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	H/E 049LP

"For their half of The Aetheric Lamp, Stone Breath cut an anomalous path through the field of experimental folk, joined by new band members Don Belch & Brooke Elizabeth, while creating enduring acoustic music - this time with a distinctly Middle Eastern influence; half composed, half improvised, intricate & driving. Mike Seed 7 Language of Light bring a collection of songs drifting from the downright dark & haunting to the decidedly wyrd-folk. Seed creates lyrics imbued with a profound sense of introspection & occult mystery in melodies reminiscent of English folk ballad or early liturgical hymns. Language of Light, with what can only be described as avant-drone and folk strangeness, lend an ethereal backdrop to this LP."
