Welcome to unlabel series52! This is number 39, released on
September 25th, 2006.
Artist Info:
Ojn - Ojn (2002-): 'Vingt Secondes' available on locarecords
compilation 'Pirate this Music' in 2007, and also available on
download. Also a single/dowload 'Ice Machine' should appear on
Enraptured Records in 2007 too. Split 7" with Cathode
available now on Awkward Silence Recordings. 'All Roads Roam
to Leeds' available on Enraptured Records compilation 'Good
Vibrations'. If you want to hear more, the following are worth
a punt on eBay and Google. Landshipping: Singles 'Sleep Hath
Arrested Us'/'Penguin New Writing' (the latter track a
particularly successful collaboration, with Isan) and 'Deep
Water' 4-track 7" (1999-2001). Metrotone (with Anthony
Harding): Singles 'Kiss Me Awake', 'Be Like the Stars',
'Shimmer' and 'Just So Very Stupid' and a CD 'The Less You
Have, the More You Are' from 1997-1999. The first two singles
are probably the best, people tell me. Southville (with Rhys
Williams): 1-track 7" 'Inside and Out' on Pillarbox Red is
worth looking out for (1993). Also, other Southville tracks
are available on TuneTribe.com. If you like any of them,
please tell Unlabel they should think about doing a
retrospective...
The series52 Concept:
While chatting on the phone back in September 2005 the two
people who run Unlabel decided to do this...
During 2006 Unlabel is releasing a series of 52 CD albums -
one every week of the year, all by people who aren't connected
with us (i.e. none of our regular artists), to include all
genres that we cover from the usual guitar based music -
acoustic and alt. country to post-rock / math-rock, hardcore
and beyond, piano, electronica / idm through to ambient,
glitch, microsound, gabber, industrial / noise, soundscapes
and anything else that takes our fancy, each in a strictly
limited edition of just 100 copies.
We decided to do something slightly different - instead of
focusing on local artists, as has been traditional with
Unlabel, we opened this project up to submissions from all
over the world. It is entirely separate from the usual
catalogue of releases and will run as a new offshoot of the
unlabel family.
The idea is to release work by unknown artists who may not
otherwise be recognised at all alongside a handful of
carefully selected guests, including a few names which may be
familiar due to their other releases elsewhere. We receive
quite a few demos these days from all over the world and it
will be good to work with some of these people and to document
music (albeit in a small way) that may not otherwise be
noticed at all...
Each 'album' in this project includes at least 8 tracks OR at
least 30 minutes of material and obviously quality control is
being kept to a high standard.
All releases are packaged in distinctive matching artwork with
the musical artists' own image on the front and two images
from Unlabel on the back - including one of a landscape
photographed every week over the 12 months of 2006 and all
pictures are professionally printed on high gloss photo paper.
Each sleeve is hand numbered and every CD includes a diary
page insert for the relevant week of the year, which can be
filled in and returned to Unlabel to win a unique prize. There
are also inserts from the artists and Unlabel making each one
of these fine discs a collector's item.
