"A carefully selected collection of remixes, reconstructions, and unreleased material from Coil collaborator and Nine Inch Nails remixer, Danny Hyde. Sinsemilla Dreams showcases a mischievous side of Danny Hyde's twisted psyche, bringing you over an hour of bizarre, mystic rhythms with ambient interludes and orchestral intermissions. In addition to the vocal talents of Joanna DeSyne and the late Jhonn Balance (RIP), several other musicians have lent their remixing talents to this disc. This includes: Andrew Sega, who has remixed bands such as Delerium. Also, Andreas Meyer, whose groundbreaking 'electro-industrial' project Forma Tadre turned many heads over a decade ago with his 'Lovecraftian' inspired Navigator album. All remixes were made using technology that was available at the time each track was originally recorded. This maintains a decidedly nostalgic quality, yet 'updates' this essential Hyde work over a decade later since its original manifestation. Packaged in full-colour digipak."

"With over 50 minutes of rich, electric ambience, Centrozoon's Angel Liquor CD is the fifth album by the duo of Markus Reuter and Bernhard Wöstheinrich. Primarily utilizing (touch) guitar, devices, and analog keys, the core material is created entirely in real-time. Only the slightest post production was involved with editing. Many tracks are based on graphic scores displaying a vast emphasis on textural elements, rhythm, and electronics. Markus has recently collaborated with King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, both on stage and in the studio. These new recordings shows Markus and Bernhard in a more experimental mode, while maintaining a strong sense of form and restraint found in their earlier works. Featuring the stunning artwork of painter Francesco Lauretta."

"Loops Over Land consists of about 50 min. of loops produced using an analog reel-to-reel tape deck and an analog tape delay system (provided by Neil Rolnick). The loops were constructed using random 'scissors clips' of Mahler's 5th Symphony and thus reflect the pastoral feel of his original composition. Some of what sound like drum beats in the loops are actually sloppy splices bathed in reverb. Production of the loops happened over the course of 2 days while I was confined to my apartment dodging an enormous snow storm. During these days of looping and confinement, I listened as deeply as possible to the sounds and envisioned large circular loops of light slowly turning over the landscape. The landscapes themselves were of lush green fields and hills dripping in recent rain while the loops shimmered gold each holding their own shape. Loops Over Land continues what I have been calling since 1987 'image drones.' Image drones are drones that are meant to evoke a very specific image for the listener. I also consider these recordings to reflect my interest in 'romantic structuralism,' a term coined by filmmaker Ken Jacobs. It seems illogical to bring the theories of structuralism and romanticism together (this was the seed of the split between Boulez and Stockhausen). However, the power of the 'structuralist activity' (see Barthes) lies in the possibility of revealing hidden functions and existing structures. The function of tonal materials in the works of Mahler were intended to induce emotive states in the listener. What I have done is isolated 'tonal moments' and made manifest their explicit function. The loops of Loops Over Land are loops of emotion embodied in the traditional form of minimalist composition. Will the loops always evoke the same feeling in every listener? I believe they will come close, at least to the Western ear." --Andrew Deutsch
