SWS002 NOW AVAILABLE!

Space Weather Sounds illusion ship LP now available.
The Space Weather Sounds label was set up by Pete Fowler and Jon Tye at the start of 2009 to receive and transmit deep space sounds and vibrations.

Their first outing, as Monsters at Work was the soundtrack to a Zombie movie they've still yet to see (SWS001 edition of 40 C60 cassettes). A severely psychotic sound scape described by Jonny Trunk in Record Collector as 'the oddest release of the month...sounds like a forklift truck in a large aeroplane factory'.

The second release 'illusion ship' is a set of four extended pieces culled from rehearsals and a live performance at this years Big Chill festival. Hailed by one of the few brave enough to withstand the 90 minute sonic onslaught as ' like Whitehouse meets early Tangerine Dream'. 'illusion ship' comes in a soft poly case with hand made and numbered full colour labels and artwork. Available as a limited edition of 50 C60 cassettes.

A super limited edition version with full colour poster will be available soon from SWS, more news on ETA to follow...

SWS002 IS AVAILABLE DIRECTLY FROM US!
The cassette is £5.00 + P&P and can be ordered directly from SWS. Please email spaceweathersounds@googlemail.com for order enquiries (see below for P+P charges). We accept paypal and cash hidden in envelopes (for UK free postage!).

P+P is-
UK First Class £1.62
Europe £1.82
USA and rest of world £2.94

And here we are to fry your starry minds, making them ready to receive the Christmas spirit, whose message is peace and love for all mankind. Right on, right on! So come on down, have a beverage and make your good self wiggle.
We'll be worshipping at the altar of all that is smooth and all that is righteous once more, blasting you with Doobies, McDonald, Todd and the 'Mac. As well as those  treats, we'll be plying you with spaced disco, dub and the sounds the Seahawks call 'Cosmic Yacht Rock'.

Space Weather Sounds forthcoming LP

About halfway through the production of our next release 'illusion ship' (SWS002) by Space Weather Sounds.
A 4 track LP with side A recorded during rehearsals/jams at Maker studio, and side B live at Eastnor. Again this is a cassette only release but this time on dead stock super tropical green tape, limited to 50 copies. We've taken both the music and the artwork a step further on this one adding full colour artwork, labels and sleeve notes picked up from the ether. There maybe some very limited CD promos floating around at some point soon so watch this space weather sounds...

MAW Present WIzards At Work

Join Captain Jon Tye and myself Pete Fowler as we take the wheel again at the Big Chill Bar this coming Wednesday the 11th of November for another forage into sounds we dig.

No guest this month but we attempt to evoke the spirit of Todd Rundgren over the night with a bit of a mini tribute. No, he's far from dead, we know that! But in anticipation of him performing A Wizard A True LP star next February in London we will indulge you in a smattering of his tunes.
A true original gonzo / powerpop / balladeering / synth and axe wielding chap, we salute him, his studio madness and an ear for a fine tune.

Lots of people seem to be digging his stuff at the moment and we think it's time to give him props.

Todd's 'International Feel' used on Daft Punk's movie Electroma (excuse the lousy sound)


Hope to see you there.
