JTC – ‘Park Days’ EP [Hoya:Hoya]


Really digging this new plate from JTC. As the “acid-house” alias of one Tadd Mullinix aka Dabrye, the James T Cotton name has been even more consistent than his beats driven counterpart in producing quality records.

Patrick Feaster – ‘Pictures of Sound: One Thousand Years of Educed Audio: 980-1980’ Book / CD [Dust-To-Digital]


An amazing project from the authority that is Patrick Feaster, doing some forward thinking work that technology may allow, but is originated on ideas driven from a unique dedication to sound study. Bringing back words and sounds originally preserved as images, sourced from anywhere they still exist; 1890’s magazines to prints preserved in the Library Of Congress to more common…
