The Black Goat rides again!

I'm very proud to anounce that September 2010 will see reissues of the out of print "Black Goat Of The Woods" album as an official Aurora Borealis release on CD and a limited "art edition" cassette on Auris Apothecary.

"Black Goat" was originally released back in November 2009 as a limited edition (75 copies) CD-r on Lysergic Earwax.

Full details of these reissues and other news to follow very shortly...

Stay tuned!

"Theory & Practice" sold out

The "Theory & Practice" tapes have now completely sold out. That includes the copies in the Aurora Borealis webshop.

Thanks to everyone who has supported this release.

Heathen Harvest reviews Black Goat Of The Woods

From the May 1st edition of Heathen Harvest webzine:

"...Organ tones spiral twisted melodies, woods mouth their groan and liquids froth, unholy miasmas congeal as swirling clouds swept aside as winds billow to occlude the garish protrusions. Horns bleat libations to forgotten deities as synths oscillate ambiguous responses and everywhere the universe trembles tenuously..."

Read the full review.

"Theory & Practice" cassette

The new Black Mountain Transmitter release "Theory & Practice" is now available to purchase from the shop section on this page. The C36 cassette features two 18 minute tracks respectively entitled "Theory" and "Practice".

"Theory" is a studio recording featuring synthesizer and guitar and pays a roughly hewn homage to the Niblock/Radigue school of Minimalism.

"Practice" is a Kosmische/Drone voyage based around a live duo recording featuring myself again on synthesizer and guitar and C. Mitchell on cymbal. The basic track was later overdubbed in the studio with extra synth and vocal loop embellishments...

The cassettes and cases are a rather nice shade of blue and the cover is a subtle hand screenprinted silver design on matching blue card.

Price - £4, which includes worldwide shipping.

Edition of 50 hand numbered copies.

Update - 26th March, 2010

Greetings,

The new BMT release "Theory & Practice" will be available here from 30th April. Further details and sound samples to follow shortly...

Price will be £4 including worldwide shipping.

In other news, I am now out of free copies of the "Palimpsestes" DVD which features the photography of Thomas James accompanied by a specially recorded BMT soundtrack. For anyone still interested some copies may be available directly from Thomas here: www.myspace.com/treefilms.

Black Goat review at Head Heritage

In his January Address Drudion, The Arch-Drude Julian Cope gives his thoughts on the "Black Goat" cd-r:

"Talking of tidal music, check out the weird, strung-out emanations of BLACK GOAT, the sumptuously-packaged new album from Black Mountain Transmitter: it’s like standing on the banks of a great fjord, watching solemn spectral processions of passing ancestral death ships, some elegant antiques with dragon’s head at their prows, but mostly just the rotting hulks of forgotten wars, all trotted out to impress some mysterious underworld administration. Like much of the best so-called Dark Ambient music, the sounds created by Black Mountain Transmitter gives the impression of having been set in motion long ago by some remote force. Check out these druids via myspace.com/blackmountaintransmitter, and do your best to access your own copy for personal use."
