Title:	Silver Shoals Of Light
Label:	BLUE SANCT
Format:	10"
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	INRI 084EP

"Bluesanct is incredibly excited that the third release in our Art Singles series is by one of our all-time favourite artists, Cindytalk. This time it will be a 10", to facilitate the sonics involved. One-sided vinyl with a screen-printed B-side and printed sleeve. Silver Shoals Of Flight is quintessential Cindytalk... written and produced by Gordon Sharp and Matt Kinnison. Drum machine ticks along gorgeous bass pulses up against Gordon's vocals. Leading to a climax of bliss and dissonance. For those not familiar with Cindytalk's work, it is a sound that straddles several genres at once. Ambient-abstract-industrial-cinematic-glitch post-punk. Gordon Sharp was at one time perhaps best known for lending his angelic voice to several tracks on This Mortal Coil's classic masterpiece It'll End In Tears (4AD, 1984), but those tracks are nothing but a footnote in history for Sharp and Cindytalk. Since 1982, Cindytalk has recorded half a dozen fiercely challenging albums of devastating beauty. And there is no end in sight for this seminal group. Limited to 500 copies, on black vinyl, with pearl ink."

Title:	The Crackle Of My Soul
Label:	EDITIONS MEGO (AUSTRIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	EMEGO 097CD

Legendary UK experimental group Cindytalk have been active since 1982. During the '80s and '90s their sound was defined by broken-down rock structures and abstract piano ambience. A third side to their coin emerged at the dawn of the 21st century with a turn towards obscure computer usage, pushing all resemblance of melody and conventual texture to the outer edges. The Crackle Of My Soul is their first full-length to come from this new direction, starting in 2001 and now finally ready for release. It's also the first Cindytalk album since the 1995 release of Wappinschaw. Although very abstract in nature, these 10 tracks still echo the vocal brilliance and subtle beauty that Cindytalk have become known for, and push back boundaries, making this an essential listen, regardless if you are aware of their back catalog or not. This is the first in a series of already-finished releases from Cindytalk, which will see the light of day throughout 2010. "And if there is still one hellish, truly accursed thing in our time, it is our artistic dallying with forms, instead of being like victims burnt at the stake, signaling through the flames." --Antonin Artaud. Written and recorded by Gordon Sharp at Belmont Shore (CA), Mid-Levels (HK) & Kobe (Japan) 2001-2009. Mastered at Piethopraxis, July 2009. Dedicated to Matt Kinnison (1965-2008).

Title:	Up Here In The Clouds
Label:	EDITIONS MEGO (AUSTRIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	EMEGO 106CD

Legendary UK experimental group Cindytalk have been active since 1982. Up Here In The Clouds is the second installment in the new Cindytalk sound which began with the release of their 2009 album The Crackle Of My Soul. Whereas Crackle was more of a blistering burner, Clouds has a fresher, cooler sound to it, with longer tracks that slowly evolve in great patches of aural beauty. The sound that Gordon Sharp and company create now is a unique blend of cracked electronics and near-awkward ambient textures that always seem to flow as smoothly as the most natural of sounds, building up a great set of modern electronic music which closes with the child-like melody of the title track. Superbly packaged with David Coppenhall artwork in a 4-panel digipack. Recorded by Gordon Sharp 2003-2010 at the Mid-Levels (HK) but mainly at Roi Vert, Okamoto, Japan. Mastered at Piethopraxis, June 2010.

Price:	$29.00
Catalog #:	EMEGO 112LP

Special 2LP + 7" vinyl set compiling both The Crackle Of My Soul (2009) & Up Here In The Clouds (2010) albums, plus limited edition 7" tracks (2003). Cindytalk have been active since 1982. During the '80s and '90s, their sound was defined by broken-down rock structures and abstract piano ambience. A third side to their coin emerged at the dawn of the 21st century with a turn towards obscure computer usage pushing all resemblance of melody and conventional texture to the outer edges.

The sound that Gordon Sharp and company create now is a unique blend of cracked electronics -- near-awkward ambient textures that always seem to flow smoothly like the most natural of sounds around, building up a great set of modern electronic music which closes with the child-like melody of the title track. The coupling of Transgender Warrior and Guts Of London was originally released as a limited edition 7" by Klanggalerie in 2003. Cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin, August 2010.

Title:	Hold Everything Dear
Label:	EDITIONS MEGO (AUSTRIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	EMEGO 122CD

This is the third installment in the new Cindytalk sound which started with 2007's The Crackle Of My Soul (EMEGO 097CD), and then 2010's Up Here In The Clouds (EMEGO 106CD). It's the first in the trilogy to feature musicians other than Gordon Sharp, namely the late Matt Kinnison, to whom the album is dedicated. Inspired by the John Berger book of the same name, this latest release is a whole new set of parameters, which push the sound on the previous two works to an extreme point of abstraction, and in some places, near silent passages and haunted melodic segments. And what a mysterious journey this ends up being, with increased use of piano and found/field recordings giving all the tracks a blurry soundtrack appeal to the point where the definitions between the tracks are no longer clearly defined. It harks back to the odder parts of In This World and The Wind Is Strong albums from the early 1990s. Superbly packaged with new David Coppenhall artwork in a 4-panel digipack. Mastered at Piethopraxis, June 2011. Cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin, June 2011.
