07 May 2008 : New Bass Communion CD/LP »
A new Bass Communion CD and LP will both be released by Important Records in the US on 22nd July. The CD "Moltov and Haze" contains 4 layered guitar drone pieces, 2 noisy (Molotov) and 2 transcendently beautiful (Haze). The album will be issued in the by now familiar miniature card gatefold sleeve, and you can hear extracts from it on the Bass Communion MySpace page.
The LP is a collaboration recorded with Mexican noise / improv group Pig in February this year - "Live in Mexico City" will be a highly limited vinyl only release of 500 copies in special screen printed sleeves. Headphone Dust will have both items for sale, but sorry it's not possible to reserve a copy of the vinyl release at this stage.

06 April 2008 : Pacific Codex availability »
Please note that although Pacific Codex by Bass Communion is limited and has sold out from this site, it is still currently easily available at very reasonable prices from both Solielmoon and Beta-Lactam Ring in the US. Certainly noone should be paying over the odds for it on eBay at this stage.
Also news from Soleilmoon is that the first Continuum CD will be repressed shortly - originally limited to 1,000 copies, another 1,000 will be repressed to bring it in line with the edition of 2,000 pressed of Continuum II (of which only a handful remain).
