Ape

This second volume of Andy's essential 'secret tape' series contains such gems as a rare recording of the storming 'I Don't Want To Be Here' originally donated for an AIDS charity disc and 'Young Marrieds', a cynical peek at tender wedded bliss.

Along with 15 other quality cuts, you'll also hear the song that summed up Andy's feeling on contractual entrapment of the record company kind, 'Ship Trapped In Ice'.

Available on cd and as high quality mp3 and flac downloads.

The first volume in Andy Partridge's Fuzzy Warbles series.

Welcome to the garden of unearthly delights.

Bursting at the seams with demos, rarities and side projects taken from Andy's private tapes, the Fuzzy Warbles series is a must have collection for anyone who wants a microscopic view inside the mercurial mind of XTC's main songwriter.

Available on cd and as high quality mp3 and flac downloads.

Comprising material recorded during the same sessions as 2009's acclaimed Dog Eared Moonlight, In Colour was originally released in November 2010 as a download only release.

The Milk And Honey Band's debut album from 1994, originally released on the Rough Trade label.

More lo-fi than subsequent releases, Round The Sun comprised material written while Robert White was still a part of the acclaimed Post-Psychedelic Indie band levitation.

Perhaps as a result of White's time in Levitation, the material has a more Psychedelic/Progressive approach than featured in the band's later Pop orientated material.

Songs by Neil Young and Buffy Sainte-Marie rendered in a uniquely Veda Hille way.

Aided by the CBC Radio Orchestra and her own Riot Life band, the album features some strident and emotive string arrangements from Giorgio Magnanensi.

Available as a digi-pack cd (we have a very limited stock of these) and a download.

12 unique instrumentals created by Andy Partridge in order to evoke the visionary artwork of Sci-Fi paperback legend, Richard M Powers.

The fourth studio album from Robert White's Brighton-based band.

Contains the haunting Just You, the seductive Maryfaith Autumn and the anthemic Waste Of Time.

Fusing Indie Rock, Alt Country and Psychedelic Pop influences, Dog Eared Moonlight is the curious lovechild of XTC, the Finn Brothers and Midlake.

Packaged in a high quality miniature vinyl replica sleeve.

Jen Olive's debut Ape EP features 2 tracks from Warm Robot plus 2 Lighterthief remixes and 2 songs exclusive to this download only release.

Jen's playing has been dubbed 'high-life guitar from Venus' due to her propensity for odd time signatures, intricate fingerpicking and quirky jazz/folk sensibilities.

'With abstract themes, warped guitar playing, syncopated percussion and world music inspired vocals, it makes for a fascinating offering.' - Outroversion
