Coming Soon from MZR: Sypha Nadon: Distant [MZR030]

Coming next month from Mauve Zone Recordings: Sypha Nadon: Distant [MZR030]. This reissue collects the entirety of the Distant cassette tape recorded during the summer of 2000: although a version of that tape was previously released on the Universe A: Distant anthology of 2007, for this reissue they've been re-recorded with better sound quality/clarity. Included as bonus tracks is the never released "Where Are The Young Men?", along with digital recordings of 5 of the tracks off the "Distant" tape. March will hopefully see the release of the 3rd SN reissue, which will be the Decadence tape of 2001. In April MZR will release the 4th SN reissue, Gap, which collects the Gap album of 2002. And in May there's a chance that a 5th reissue album, Society of the Spectacle, may be released. That one would collect some rarities from my 2003-2004 period. After that, the bulk of SN's pre-2005 This Plague of Dreaming/Mauve Zone Recordings songs would be available online, and I'd be able to get back to work on new music. More details to follow.
