Highpoint Lowlife August News 2006

hello you!

Release News
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mandelbrot Set's album "All Your Actions Are Constantly Repeated" is finally with us, after many delays in the production, due to its rather complicated and intricate artwork - The perfect accompaniment to the majestic noise, melody and epic structure, you can "ooh" and "ah" at its fold-out map poster alongside its clear vinyl acetate map key overlay, all enclosed in another finely designed cover by our Matheu Ranson!

The official release date won't be till mid October, when it hits stores, but you can buy it now directly from our webstore over at http://www.posteverything.com/highpointlowlife/

We've also uploaded the album for full streaming previews over at Last.fm - check it out at http://www.last.fm/music/mandelbrot+set

They'll be hitting the road for a UK tour in October in support of the album, so look out for them in town near you (if yer in the UK!).

The new Marshall Watson release "Math And Other Word Problems" will be following closely behind it, in for pressing at the moment, and due back shortly. We've uploaded a teaser track from the new album over at our own download section on the site:

Bleep.com
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Our whole catalog is now fully stocked over at Bleep.com now, including all vinyl only releases. We're going to try a little experiment also - we're compiling our first ever paid-download, digital only release. Its coming together amazingly well with over an hour and half of original material from most of our artists and a few friends, with contributions from Fisk Industries, Izu, The Marcia Blaine School For Girls, Calika, Matthew Rozeik, Achrid, N.Ln, randomNumber, Bovaflux, Mandelbrot, si-cut.db, The Village Orchestra, Rose and Sandy, and Tigrics. Even though it will be a digital only release, we're also planning on pressing up a limited run of 50 or 100 dvd-r's with the wav files of each track, plus high-quality mp3s, HPLL coverart desktop backgrounds, some videos and extra digital-goodness. We'll keep you informed on that one.

Live-ness
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Couple of really good shows this month -
You can catch randomNumber in Bristol tomorrow, the 2nd August;
Later this month in London, Mandelbrot Set will be playing at the Buffalo Bar with Cayto and Hunters Loaf on the 18th, and then at the end of the month, if you're lucky enough to be in Barcelona, you'll find The Village Orchestra and Izu playing at the Electronims Semiclub Glasgow Electronics special night. I wish i could get out for that one myself!

And i think that about wraps up the news for the month!
thanks!
