"Seal Pool Sounds is the first CD release of new material from Snatch Tapes founder, Organum Collaborator, and British installation artist, Philip Sanderson. Seal Pool Sounds picks up where Sanderson's Storm Bugs project left off sometime in 1981. Sanderson's DIY software and electronics conjure whimsical, plaintive electronic tones and rhythms: sounds that recollect the light-hearted, yet melancholy nature of the 20th century zoos. Seal Pool Sounds is a natural extension of his Reprint CD on Anomalous Records, and at once evokes LAFMS, Raymond Scott, Marcel Duchamp, and French New Wave film music."

2003 release, available again. "Reprint was originally released on cassette by Snatch Tapes in 1980 and was credited to an unknown duo called Claire Thomas & Susan Vezey. Claire and Susan were infact a figment of Snatch Tapes founder Philip Sanderson's imagination. In addition to running the label, Philip was one half of the DIY electronic group Storm Bugs, and regularly collaborator with a then unknown musician by the name of David Jackman (one of these tracks they did together was recent issued on a 10" by Die Stadt). Reprint was in effect one of his few solo recordings. The music of Reprint is a peculiar combination of academic rigour married to an inverted pop art aesthetic. For whereas pop art incorporated the cheap intoxication's of consumer culture into the supposed lofty rooms of high art, here was an attempt to incorporate the form or perhaps just the smell high art into the low brutality of DIY electronics."
