TF100
There are 2 tracks from the just released TF100 release on the Tone Float Soundcloud page – one of which I sing on, another of which I play keyboards on. This is a beautiful album of collaborations between all of the main artists that have released music on Tone Float during the last 10 years or so, and the presentation is gorgeous, being a 108 page hardback book featuring artwork and other ephemera from the first 100 Tone Float releases, with the album spread across 2 x 10 inch records. It’s limited to only 500 copies for sale, and quite reasonably priced (though expensive to post). Headphone Dust will get a few copies of the book version, please email if you’d like to reserve one (hd@swhq.co.uk) – I don’t know yet if there will be a CD release at a later date, but I hope so.

Fovea Hex / Die Stadt (SWHQ)
One of the most remarkable and strange-beautiful musical ventures of the past few years is about to wrap up with the release of the last in a series of EPs. So much did Steven love the first 2 EPs he talked his way into appearing on the third one!
Fovea Hex ‘Allure’ is the third and final part of the ‘Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent’ series by Fovea Hex / Clodagh Simonds, which has featured among other contributors; Colin Potter, Brian Eno, Roger Eno, Robert Fripp, Andrew McKenzie, and Percy Jones. SW appears on the title track of ‘Allure” playing some treated guitar.
The first 500 copies will include a bonus CD ‘The Answer’ featuring 60 minutes of material reworked and remixed by Andrew McKenzie of The Hafler Trio. This version will only be available from Die Stadt and Janet Records directly.
There is also a box set version that includes all 3 EPs (6 CDs in total, as each comes with a bonus disc of reworkings by The Hafler Trio). Essential in SW’s opinion, but to listen and find out more visit the Fovea Hex MySpace page.
