Artist:	CEX
Title:	Being Ridden
Label:	TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LIMITED
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	TRR 055CD

"Three years after carving an unorthodox path to IDM superstardom, Cex sheds his former skin to show the world the grown man that had been buried beneath his own expectations. After years of releasing albums that he refers to as 'practice', he takes his tallest leap yet to The Next Level and proudly unravels the first strands of 'the real thing.' Produced and recorded in the homes of Cex and Craig Wedren (Shudder To Think), Being Ridden is a monumental leap forward in the career of a guy who, at 21 years old, has already eclipsed many of his heroes in creative risk-taking and execution alone, not to mention shear accessibility. Layering acoustic guitars, hip-hop beats, dense bass, bells and witty, catchy-as-hell Fresh Prince meets Eminem meets Bright Eyes lyrical flows, Cex is just about the freshest mashing of genres ever unleashed."

Title:	Being Ridden Instrumentals
Label:	TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LIMITED
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	TRR 056CD

"Rather than release Being Ridden strictly in its original lyrical format, we're also releasing this special all-instrumental version to appease DJ's and haters of rap alike! For those that felt more comfortable when Cex was merely an IDM superstar and not a party-rap-pop genius, we give you this warm blanket of instrumental treats. As an added bonus, there are three exclusive instrumental tracks on this disc that are not included on the vocal version!"

Title:	Starship Galactica
Label:	TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LIMITED
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TRR 071CD

"Originally released on the small UK imprint 555 Recordings, Starship Galactica was both impossible to find and none-too-durable (a single piece of paper folded over the CD and tucked into a thin plastic sleeve). It quickly fell out of print and has been lingering on eBay ever since. At that time, Cex's rise in popularity had only just begun -- 4 years later, a reissue of this treasure was long overdue. The very sound for which artists like Prefuse 73 and Four Tet are so universally championed for these days is represented here in spades, several years before either of those artists brought it above ground. Along with the original eight tracks, we have included a few lost gems from Cex's early days, all lovingly remastered and repackaged. Recorded way back in 1996, the three previously unreleased bonus tracks are rumored to be the very first songs that Cex composed on his computer."

Title:	Tall, Dark and Handcuffed
Label:	TIGERBEAT6 RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	MEOW 060CD

"Cex's first two albums, Role Model and Oops, I Did It Again! are regarded as unprecedented classics among followers of ambitious left-field electronic music. Because of his penchant for complex beats and catchy melodies, Kidwell has garnered critical acclaim from mainstream and underground press alike for bringing daring pop sensibilities and sensitivity to a genre mostly frequently strapped for personality or accessibility. His quick wit and bona-fide mic skills have delighted music fans of many persuasions: hip-hop heads, indie rockers, electronic music geeks, and even the occasional frat boy. After refining everything about his sound in the forge of the ultimate live show, the much-anticipated album version of Cex's unique blend of hip-hop, experimental electronic music, and pure pop is finally ready for the world to absorb and admire."
