Can wholeheartedly recommend this for @bandcamp.com Friday after hearing this week. Enveloping, textured ambient doom, taped electronics and undulating violins. An expertly layered record, evoking the ghosts of the ancient fields. Out now on the ever brilliant @waysideandwoodland.bsky.social
Hello all!

Caminauta - Unseen Dimensions
First batch of 25 hand-constructed sleeves have sold out!
25 more copies going out at 5pm GMT
The sleeves were very much a labour of love (I have the blisters to prove it)
Link in comments - to listen or add to wishlist :-)
I am beyond chuffed to announce the pre-order for the gorgeous album by kosmiche dreamcore artist Caminauta!
'Unseen Dimensions' is a document of time spent in isolation in deep countryside, pondering existence...

In my ongoing tests with lightboxes, a few weeks ago I made this for a good friend who has just moved house. He's also a huge fan of The Wicker Man so decided to make this for his hallway, to greet guests as they arrive. Seemed to go down well, as they've messaged saying "You did it beautifully" 🌞.
twas an absolute honour to release Lukas's album. It's *insane* he's not on one of the bigger labels and written about by all those hip publications.
There is no meritocracy. No justice. It's the Wild West, lorded over by shadowy, scummy middle men and grifters.
I may have drifted off the point...
Ah, yeah, now I remember.
Currently drifting back to my formative years growing up in the Black Country with this evocative soundtrack.

Yeah, tough to be objective about it isn't it?
If I'm 100% honest, I'm really happy with my old CD copy. All dynamics are intact, it's crisp and clear.
It's a towering human achievement, whatever the format.
Is the previous reissue still the best, do you think? The one that came with the CD? (was it an s-audio CD?)
#NowPlaying Another beautiful, extraordinary, blurred memory release from Ben Holton aka The Balloonist on his mighty @waysideandwoodland.bsky.social label. 🤍
A pleasure!
Big friend and supporter of the label, Paul 'Sky Patterns' Lockett.
Why not have a wander over to his Bandcamp for a listen...?*
*there is no reason not to!
MASSIVE thanks to all who purchased a lathe cut or CDr today.
I will get these sent Monday.
Due to popular demand, I will be re-pressing the pro-CDr version, with a colour variant sleeve.
Orders are now open for the re-press:

Oof, sounds ace!
Yay!
Managed to grab one of the CDs after 5pm watershed…they move fast..get in there ⭐️
