		<description><![CDATA[Pax Titania, the solo electronic project of Christopher Cprek (currently residing in Louisville), incorporates homemade electronics, sequencers and drum machines to create sweeping textures and bumping rhythms.  Orphan Daughter of an Orphan Daughter, released on Catholic Tapes, is like a high-speed chase scene on Light Cycles, as colliding drones outwardly flex their energies just above [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cliffsides is one of the projects of Brooklyn-based synth jammer Ryan McGill (Bones of Seabirds).  His recently released tape called Singularity contains two melodic works for synthesizer that launch the listener into celestial orbits.  Thick, spacey passages of delayed synth washes, combined with heavy bass notes that drop like meteors, are carefully constructed to form [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mirror to Mirror, a new project from Jugular Forest&#8217;s founder Alex Twomey, melds mystery with new age ambient virtues.  Minimalist atmospheres are packed with emotive intensities so powerful, they tend to feel more like noise pieces.  Rerest is the first release of this new project, conceived in February of 2009.  It&#8217;s a departure from his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Knit Prism is a new project by House of Sun label head Mike Pouw.  His new tape, Amaranth, is an excellent introduction to his work and to his label.  (I should point out that what you are looking at is actually a double cassette &#8211; total props on the case!) The beauty of Amaranth lies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The new tape by Brooklyn-based artist Prehistoric Blackout (Taylor Richardson of Infinity Window, Purple Haze) called Stone Reaper collages synths and guitars to create cloudy, layered electronic music for mind-altering states.   This is murky, cavernous mysticism ran through a phaser pedal in a fish-bowled room. Side A opens with a tweaky, but poppy guitar [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About the time I released the first batch of Gift Tapes, someone told me about a crazy productive guy named Josh Burke. I hadn&#8217;t heard his work before, but I had seen the name. He pops up all over the place &#8211; distros like tomentosa and the like. When I looked into it further I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short and sweet, Buffle leads the listener into an odd, multicolored world where things happen in reverse.  This is strange music that moves like a lone opossum in search of her lunch&#8230; and maybe that lunch will consist of green-glow earthworms?  Here, the trio recreates the consciousness of a malformed creature operating on a pile [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to figure out where to start with the dudes in The Skaters.  James Ferraro and Spencer Clark are crazy productive, sometimes releasing five things at once.  Most of these are released as CDRs, some as tapes, and there are few LPs out there.  Approaching their stuff is a difficult task, and I have [...]]]></description>
