Title:	Chewing On Glass & Other Miracle Cures
Label:	NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	ZEN 086CD

"Now signed to Ninja Tune, Sixtoo has come through with a whole new type of record, easily the best record of his career so far. Yeah, it's still hip hop in some senses, but it's also a whole lot more. Can's Damo Suzuki, Norsola and Thierry from Godspeed You Black Emperor, Matt Kelly, Eric Craven from The Hanged Up and many more can all be heard programmed and chopped in the signature Sixtoo style. And sometimes the audio tricks are left alone in favor of some straight quality live playing. All brought together to create what is essentially a psyche rock/jazz masterpiece as made by a long time hip-hop producer."

Title:	Boxcutter Emporium
Label:	NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	ZEN 12148

"After a long career of producing some of the darkest, sparse, and most interesting hip-hop to emerge from the US/Canadian underground, and a relationship with many a record label, Sixtoo's move to Montreal a couple years ago landed him in the face of Ninja Tune. With some fresh new digs up in the Mile End, a re-vamped recording studio, access to a wealth of French psyche records, and a new lease on life revolving around the excitement of being signed to a label that will actually pay him, Sixtoo is using this moment as a jump off to re-define his sound."

Title:	Duration
Label:	NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:	CD/DVD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ZEN 8008CD

"In the fall of 2001, Sixtoo released a record called Duration that took the North American underground hiphop scene by the scruff of its neck. This record was Sixtoo's foray into instrumental production after years of producing for himself and other well established underground rappers. It took the form of a 42-minute song, with parts re-recorded in public spaces, with visual markers left throughout his hometown of Halifax to accompany the project. This project not only resulted in a CD but also a documentary that follows Sixtoo as he goes around the city painting the many visual markers. This movie was never released...until now. This is the deluxe pimp re-release of the Duration CD, repackaged with foil print, and expanded booklet and five bonus cuts from his Secrets That Houses Keep EP. Also included is a DVD featuring the original unreleased movie, as well as bonus features, such as a collection of Sixtoo related street art and train art, streaks gallery and art show documentation."

Title:	Antagonist Survival Kit Instrumentals
Label:	VERTICAL FORM (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	VFORM 027CD

"Close on the tail of his acclaimed Vertical Form LP debut Antagonist Survival Kit, Halifax, Nova Scotia's Vaughn Robert Squire -- aka Sixtoo -- unleashes instrumentals, 6 reconfigured cuts from the album, plus two choice selections from the Vertical Form 12" Outremont Mainline runs across the sunset (the vinyl version keeps it to the album tracks alone). Shorn of the man's taut, paranoid lyrics, instrumentals throws new light on Antagonist's wonderfully crafted sonic terrain, blending choice samples, various acoustic instruments and a never-less-than-groovy subsoil of beats, into a by turns, evocative, vigorous and thought-provoking mix."
