Tapes sold out; two new ones; TB & DB tour; Dense Reduction on Digitalis

*All our tapes are sold out, including the Dense Reduction tapes from earlier in the year. *

Hello from Maine, down from North Eastern Canada, en route to Vermont and soon back to Chicago. Other half in California.

HOWEVER, for all of America, please contact Discriminate Music for all 8 tapes.
For folks in Europe, and presumably the rest of the world, wanting the newer tapes and also the Illusion of Safety reissue, "Repairs", they may contact Colour Ride (not for IOS) or Boomkat. Boomkat should have a fair amount of the North Sea tape and a very limited amount of the IOS tape.
Colour Ride currently has Tärr and The North Sea, and Boomkat should post theirs in about a week. Things are available from Discriminate now.

Since releasing the tapes listed below, a small hiatus has ensued, soon ending with two new Notices : #11 and #12. The first is by Red Electric Rainbow, who is deeply entwined within the weaves of preparation for the Neon Marshmallow Festival, taking place at the Viaduct Theatre this August in Chicago. The lineup is exceptional. Be sure to attend. Artwork this time on green paper, printed with white ink.

The second tape is by Yellow Crystal Star, who will also be embarking upon a tour this late July. Music recorded in Bangkok. Featuring photography by Mark integrated into the Notice Recordings design.

In other news, Travis Bird & Dan Burke will be touring for their guitar duo project along the East Coast in September. Exact dates and venues TBA.

Also, Dense Reduction and probably Illusion of Safety (or some combination of DR, DR & IOS, ELE + TB & DB, etc) will be performing on WHPK's show, "Pure Hype". Details are unclear as of now, but the airing should be on the 23rd of July.

And lastly, look out for a DR tape on Digitalis Industries Ltd., dropping sometime in July. It is called "Fictive Agriculture".

That's all for now. A couple photographs from excursions might be posted later, as well as other Notice News.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer... take in an open landscape; accepting the miniature summer epiphanies.

The North Sea and Tärr. Two new tapes

# 1 : ( Notice #9 ) Tärr : " Shoulder Movements "

Dealing with both fabricated and real paradises, and the streamlined means for arrival. A demanding listen — one which sits well with the Notice catalogue, both past and future. Present is implied.
- Artwork by E. Lindorff-Ellery. 2-colour letterpress printed on heavy stock.
An edition of 66.
- Pro-dubbed, imprinted cassettes with classic Notice attire.

Cover art is available using these links :
Larger cover

# 2 : ( Notice #10 ) The North Sea : " Relinquished Sparks "

Brad Rose has brought forth his first release for Notice Recordings. An extremely prolific and visceral project — here presented as more minimal and delicate, yet maintaining a great degree of intensity and grace. Sparks fly forth in slow motion, their ephemeral luminescence dependent upon the surrounding darkness, gradually landing on new grounds.
- Artwork by E. Lindorff-Ellery. Letterpress printed on charcoal-grey weave stock. Ink is available in TWO colours : All Black or all White.
Please specify which you want (or both !) when ordering.
25 in Black ; 52 in White
An edition of 77 total.
- Pro-dubbed, imprinted cassettes with classic Notice attire.

Different versions of cover art is available using these links :
White or Black

The next two tapes will be available in 2 weeks. The first is by Red Electric Rainbow, who is deeply entwined within the weaves of preparation for the Neon Marshmallow Festival, taking place at the Viaduct Theatre this August in Chicago. The lineup is exceptional. Be sure to attend.
The second tape is by Yellow Crystal Star, who will also be embarking upon a tour this late July.

Some people like it official

We now have distribution through Discriminate Music. They do a fine job of clearly laying everything out, with sound samples, artwork and descriptions. Very nice indeed.
Please get in touch with them.

We've been working on tapes by The North Sea and Tärr.

They should be ready within a month.



Brad Rose of The North Sea and Eden Hemming Rose will be playing a show in Chicago as ALTAR EAGLE, at Enemy on May 7th. We are hoping to have the tape ready by then. That would be most functional. The tape is called "Relinquished Sparks". It's a sparse and elegant excursion for the project, yet maintains a great amount of intensity. We're extremely honoured to be working on it with him, and everything is turning out really well. The artwork is still a product of E. Lindorff @ Notice Rec. Corp., but this time on the darker side.


Also playing this gig will be Caboladies and Zelienople. All these guys put on absurdly good shows. Highly recommended.


Other information regarding this and other projects, including the Tärr release, is forthcoming.

ALL tapes are still available. Please be in touch.


Happy Spring to you all.
