This is slowcore at pretty close to its finest. A haunting,barren record in its pure and simple beauty. Please give this a listen.

Fire On Fire Handmade Limited Edition 5 Song EP
The Fire On Fire Handmade Limited Edition 5 Song EP exclusively from young god records is a densely beautiful recording featuring "real" acoustic intruments like the Nay or the Oud. This may be no big stretch for some but, Fire on Fire is Cerberus Shoal. (The band, not the geological feature) And that fact alone makes this record unexpectedly special. Old timey gospel folk at perhaps its most in your face, psychedelic and layered. I aquire more appreciation with each listen. I am also a packaging nut. This one features a original drawing / screen print by Colleen Kinsella (also in the band). Check out Hangman.

Steve Scott
First, I must apologize for the past several months of virtual inactivity. I guess I have been distracted. I have however been completely immersing myself in the catalog (or at least as much as I can get my hands on) of one of my favorite artists... The brilliant and multi talented Steve Scott-poet, spoken word artist, and musician. There is a beauty here beyond my understanding.
The list as it were is as follows
Love in the Western World, 1983
Lost Horizon, 1989
The Butterfly Effect, 1992
Empty Orchestra, 1994
We Dreamed that We Were Strangers, 1996
More than a Dream, 1997
Crossing the Boundaries, 1998
