| As you may already have heard, Minority Records is responsible for vinyl edition of the forthcoming TAPE's "Milieu plus" reissue with four additional tracks taken from the same recording session in 2003. Originally planned as single 12"LP, though released as 2xLP in the end. The rest stays the same, i.e. vinyl is of transparent yellow colour and the edition is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies only. The official release date of "Milieu plus" 2xLP on Minority as well as "Milieu plus" CD and "Opera plus" CD on Hapna is April 15th, though 2xLP is available for pre-order now and will be sent out as soon as the press arrives from the pressing plant. So it really is being recommended to place a pre-order now as this album obviously disappears off the shelves pretty fast. Thank you.  Press quotes of the original edition follows: "...to spotlight individual tracks is not necessary it's the joy you'll arrive at through listening to this album from start to finish that'll really make you fall in love with this CD. At time joyful and at others sadly beautiful, bringing to mind the aura of Mark Hollis' post Talk Talk debut album from 1998. I really can't recommend this album highly enough. Please check it out." Boomkat "...my heart is filled with the music of slow, sad string instruments. I was really hoping for something that would be relaxing today, and this was exactly what I needed. There is nothing more relaxing to me than a good, long session of vivid daydreams. If my imagination ever turns barren, I'll turn to Tape for refreshment. 9/10" Foxy Digitalis "...Tape succeeds where other "folktronica" acts noodle themselves into a corner or fall prey to an over-determined laptop. On Milieu, the trio's second album, the compositions are carefully and emotionally layered, a midnight Fahey/Parch pantomime against a rusted silo. 7.9/10" Pitchfork   on stereo: Frode Gjerstad/Paal Nilssen-Love "Day before one" LP (Tyyfus) John Fahey "Sea Changes & Coelacanths" 2CD (Table of the Elements) Topias Tiheasalo "Eyes of a Dead Lamb" CD (Tyyfus) |

| POLVERE's tour in Israel was truly amazing and breathtaking at the same time. Thanks to Juval H. for making the tour happen! POLVERE will also play shortly in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark at the beginning of April 2008. If you dig their experimental avant-folk craziness and would be into setting up show, please get in touch with me. Thanks a lot! In addition, I gotta thank to all people at Unijazz for doing the great job at Alternativa Festival in Prague and getting POLVERE, UNCODE DUELLO and MATTIA COLETTI on the bill. Thank you again! The upcoming thrilling release on Minority is 12"LP by Sweden's TAPE called "Milieu Plus", released on a coloured vinyl, limited and handnumbered to just 500 copies worldwide. Preorders are accepted, ok? on the spin: Giuseppe Ielasi "August" CD (12K) Loren Connors "The Hymn of the North Star" LP (Family Vineyard) Oren Ambarchi "Lost like a Star" 12" (Bo'Weavil) |
