Shane Hope Probably my fav Coppice Halifax.
Gray reminds me of Stone In Focus in a very good way and is followed by the earworm that is Tropic. There's not one weak track, it's all pure bliss. Lucky enough to have it on tape now and gotta say the second side of postscript is also tremendous - like GAS meets Basinski. Favorite track: Gray.

Laura Ann Rettinger Album is floating half dream state, sleeping in a car in, empty parking lot, warm summer, staring up through leaf shadows of shading tree. Eternal hug under blanket, stillness and infinite empty agenda.

Simon relax as you sink into a warm, salty tub of scenic ambience that leaves you wanting to add more hot water from the tap with your toes. Favorite track: Fog.

  • Ultra-Rare 2xCassette Box b/w Postscript Tape [Archive Copy / Spring Cleanout]
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Upon cleaning out another cluttered box in a basement room next to the studio, I found a number of interesting and unique artifacts from the Milieu Music catalog. Up for sale here is ONE COPY of the first edition dual-cassette version of Inland By Night, backed with Postscript. These two tapes were housed in similar dustproof audiobook-style cases as Pawleys Island's first edition, and were inherited from a closing library, making copies finite and unable to be reissued. This release is the only time Inland By Night and Postscript were issued on tape. The numbering on the back is X - meaning this was one of the only extra copies produced, and was kept in my own stash until now. Since instituting a new rule after moving, that I will only ever keep two copies of any one release, that has freed up a number of items to be sold to the collectors among you. As such, this is the only copy of this tape set I will be putting up for sale - a special item for what is still one of my favorite ambient recordings I've produced.

    **NOTE: The items listed in the back catalog sale have all been found while unpacking. Some of them have been packed away for years in storage, and may have small imperfections. These are being sold as is, as the artifacts they are, to raise money for implementing the new studio. No refunds will be given.

about

In October of 2011, the massive concept double-album Pawleys Island was issued first on an intimate edition of 20 copies on 2x cassette tape. During the creation and recording of the Pawleys songs, I realized just how much love and expression I funneled into the melodies and composition, despite the album largely being carried in a very rhythmic techno-inspired vehicle. Taking these thoughts into consideration along with the fact that the nostalgic territories Pawleys mined were just as connected to records like Selected Ambient Works II, Walter Carlos' Sonic Seasonings and early orchestral influences like Satie and Debussy, it became clear to me that there was a beautiful ambient album hiding beneath the waves of Pawleys Island. Dedicating myself to the pursuit of such a notion, I began recording this album of ambient versions of Pawleys pieces somewhere near the last 1/4 of the recording sessions for the album proper.

I think it is important to note that the songs on Inland By Night are not merely beatless counterparts of PI material, rather they are entirely their own identities, memories and locations. The movements from PI will no doubt be recognizable, although they are considerably altered in pace, processing, tone and color, and both sides have been backed by an assemblage of field recordings: the exact length of a car drive from the beach in Surfside to my father's home in rural Loris, complete with the subtle sounds of tire traction on pavement, layered carefully alongside recordings of the sun rising at dawn over a humid marsh. Inland By Night is an approximated reimagining of those same Pawleys Island memories. Stoned, worn out from a long night of work or partying (or both) and driving home in the early morning hours to sleep and dream of the blissful shores I would one day tread in my creative travels. So here we are, years later, together in longing for that same happy sleep.

**Includes bonus Postscript cassette exclusive to this package only.
***UPDATE: As of August 12th, 2012, the double-cassette version is completely sold out. A 50-copy reissue on a standard CD-R is now available.
