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!

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..."

"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.
