Artist:	LANDING
Title:	Gravitational IV
Label:	EQUATION RECORDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	E=MC 012LP

"450 copies only.180 gram virgin vinyl LP in a heavy 350 gram gatefold sleeve. Up until now, Gravitational IV has been known as Landing's 'lost' album. Mostly recorded during the sessions that led to 2004's Sphere (K Records), Gravitational IV is a varied and multi-textured album. Sound experiments, free flowing drone freakouts, and softly lilting lullabies make up what may be the most accomplished and interesting release of Landing's 8-year career. This is music to stay indoors with. This is vessyl music."

Title:	Oceanless
Label:	STRANGE ATTRACTORS AUDIO HOUSE
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SAAH 003CD

"Landing is a truly vibrant, celestial-minded quartet of sound painters from Connecticut (via-Utah!). Oceanless, their simply amazing second full length CD, is a dense canvas capturing graceful instrumental brushstrokes, lush audio pigments, and vivid surrealist portraits. Featuring six compositions and clocking in at over 63 minutes, Oceanless is absolutely the most dazzling prizm of sound Landing has produced thus far. Inebriating and intricately textured, the plodding mallet driven rhythms, keyboard oscillations, wavering guitar afterburn and distant reverb-drenched vocals could be likened to a PrazisonLP-era Labradfard that has melted all over the easel."

Title:	Brocade
Label:	STRANGE ATTRACTORS AUDIO HOUSE
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SAAH 037CD

"Their seventh full length album in seven years, Brocade is a turning point for Landing, one that simultaneously harkens back to their roots as hushed drone rockers while journeying onwards into starkly minimalist, utterly cosmic terrain. Reverting inward after some of their sunny travels into headspace, Brocade touches on early Krautrock rhythms while delving into traditional psychedelic ambient music. Barring a few instrumental overdubs, Brocade was performed live in the studio, resulting in an airy sort of freedom not felt since the gauzy bliss-out improvisation captured on Fade In/Fade Out or moments from their second album Oceanless. In every manifestation, it is a tour-de-force of minimalism, utilizing repeating patters that slowly and steadily develop shape as they float in and out of a barbiturate fog. In the early moments of the album, as fireballs of feedback and effects unfurl into the exquisitely Faust-like drum and bass repetitions of opener 'Loft,' it would seem that rock and roll would prevail even as the tune winds through increasingly lush terrain, swelling in size as more instrumental streams enter the flow. Placid waters emerge, however, as the drums drop out and Brocade turns into a study in atmospherics with the swelling pulse-and-drone of 'Yon' and the shimmering, wispy ripples of 'Spiral Arms.' After the hazy overdrive of 'How to Be Clear,' Landing immerse themselves in sparse ambience as conjured by Eno's On Land or Harold Budd's glistening works, floating away with the aptly-named closer 'Music For Three Synthesizer.' With five compositions stretching out to form 54 minutes of music, Brocade is an elegiac lament for Landing's past, and an introspective yearning towards a glistening new phase in their career."
