New releases
CobSOn @ Amie Street
Road/Social disaster by CobSOn is now available on Amie Street!
What is Amie Street, you ask?
“Amie Street is the most fun way to discover and buy music online because we have a social network that facilitates music discovery and because we price music right – all songs start free and rise in price the more they are purchased. Our dynamic prices allow fans to buy music without breaking the bank and they serve as a useful tool for finding great music.”

“The 20 tracks provide some interesting listening. You’ll find plenty of good samplings, lots of space sounds, and definitely some nice melodies.”

daghoti album reviewed
Here is a nice review of our latest release, daghoti.’s How tall is Robin Gibb?
“The album is fun and funkyyy. Combining midtempo grungy drum loops with jazzy brass samples, Rhodes pianos, and a whole attitude of controlled chaos, he builds groove upon groove upon groove. Sounds almost like a soundtrack to a hippie movie from the ’60s, when it’s actually more of a postmodern cut-n-paste rock jazz.”

The Spirit of Gravity presents
The Spirit of Gravity and WM Recordings present:
ElMaes, Celled and Jim Black
Date Tuesday June 26th
Marlborough Theatre
4 Princes Street, Brighton, BN2 1RD
Time 8:30
Cost GBP 4/GBP 3
ElMAes
21st century Psychedelia. “ouroboric” – The Wire.
Celled
Playing the hits of Sold – Slowly.
Jim Black
Canadian improvising guitarist with a new multitrack tape loop setup.
The spirit of gravity from Brighton in conjunction with Dutch web label WM Recordings are delighted to present this evening of 21st Century Psychedelia.
ElMaes will be performing the live debut of their single “5″ in its 25 minute version, described by The Wire as “petty damn Ouroboric”: this piece is based around Thai chanting, Sitar and Tabla, along with a special light show and should induce a pleasingly altered state of consciousness.
Also performing will be Celled, who perform songs written by their alter ego Sold, but very, very slowly. Live they offer a delirious blend of analogue synthesiser, computers and cornet. On this occasion one member will be joining them via a linkup from Scotland.
And completing the evening will be a new project from guitarist Jim Black. Jim is a member of the Brighton Safehouse collective, Torque and Urban Myth. For this show he will be performing a solo set with my new multi-track loop set-up.
The CD “Geburah” remixes of “5″ is available for download free from http://www.wmrecordings.com/releases/wm060.htm
Hosted by our very own electro-comedian Lee Hulme.
SoG blurb states that the Spirit of Gravity has been promoting live, electronic, experiental and elctro-acoustc music in Brighton since 2001. That’s not the half of it.
Mp3′s of previous shows are available from

CobSOn reviewed
Zuender.Zeit.de reviews CobSOn’s Wasted?
Ich bin entzückt von CobSOn Produktionen. In Songs wie Kidding oder Road durchlebe ich ihren Herzschmerz. Ihre Stimme ist rau und sinnlich, sie springt auch mal und klingt einfach voll aus dem Bauch heraus. Zusammen mit einem Piano, einer Gitarre und einfachen Aufnahmegeräten ergibt das Musik, die mir sagt: Du bist nicht alleine, hoer mal zu, ich kenne das Gefuehl.
