VOLUME 01 - I'VE SUNK SO LOW, I CAN'T LOOK DOWN Released: 02.06.2010 It's time to break out the razor blades, shot gun, sleeping pills or whatever you have handy as Mr. Fist brings you his unlucky 13 most dismal, depraved and depressing slabs of misery. Don't worry, it'll all be over soon. Style(s): blues, folk, jazz, industrial, ambient, country, rock, post-punk |
VOLUME 02 - DUBLE DUBLE BASS AND TREBLE Released: 07.07.2010 Forget all about the "middle". This music is all about the deepest depths and the highest highs. The bass sinks low, guitars & keys fly high and the hats sizzle on this psychedelic trip master. Style(s): dub, downtempo, chill, psychedelic |
VOLUME 03 - REFLECTING ON THE ECHOES Released: 04.08.2010 It's deep, it's dark and it extends into infinity as the formless shapes shift and swirl into vortexes of sound from another dimension. Style(s): ambient, drone, meditation |
VOLUME 04 - URBAN RESISTANCE Released: 01.09.2010 It's time to get your groove on with this selection of easy going, funky, tripped out toe tappers. Light 'em up, if ya got 'em! Style(s): funk, dub, trance, downtempo, chill |
VOLUME 05 - ACID INDIGESTION Released: 23.10.2010 This set collects the very best of the "Acid House" tracks produced at Blood 'n' Tongue during the height of this genre in the late 80's. Style(s): acid house, techno, trance |
VOLUME 06 - SHADOW LANTERNS Released: 17.11.2010 Here is presented a collection of the best ambient works created at Blood 'n' Tongue during the mid 1990's. This was a period of rebuilding after a difficult early part of the decade where facilities and resources had reached their lowest levels. They are dark, moody and reach deep into the depths of hidden dreams. Style(s): ambient, drone, noise, experimental, industrial |
VOLUME 07 - FLOATING FORWARD FRACTURES Released: 24.11.2010 For this collection, Blood 'n' Tongue travels back to the mid 80's in order to bring you a collection of strange, psychedelic and experimental sounds. It's a heady mix of dark, industrial ambience and the occasional shift into something with a little groove to it. Style(s): ambient, drone, noise, experimental, industrial |
VOLUME 08 - AUSTERITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION Released: 15.12.2010 This collection dips in the to dark days of Blood 'n' Tongue during the early 90's. This is the period when available resources for production resulted in a turn to very basic and primitive production techniques. Chief among these was the use of tape loops which are heavily featured on many of these collected recordings. Style(s): ambient, drone, noise, experimental, industrial |
ANTHOLOGIES
XX Released: 07.05.2003 This collection was suggested by Blair Stapleton in 2000 as an overview of the material produced over the previous 20 years. It was the first set of recordings to be remastered into a digital format and lead to the eventual remastering of all the recordings contained in the Blood 'n' Tongue archive. A limited number of copies of this set (10) were produced to give away to friends. While some of the material here is unique to this collection, several pieces also ended up being included on other subsequent collections. |
SOUNDTRACKS Released: 06.05.2003 This set collects various compositions used as soundtracks for various video productions done through the mid to late 1980's. |
TABLE SCRAPS, LEFTOVERS AND BASTARD CHILDREN
These collections of recordings are something of a grab bag of odds & ends that have been grouped together for the sake of mopping up the remnants of the Blood 'n' Tongue archive. They cover a diverse and disconnected range of recordings from various times between 1981 and 2001. In some respects, these are the "bottom of the barrel" tracks, but there are select pieces that are actually quite acceptable and only ended up here because they didn't fit anywhere else.
