I saw that over there....thanks man.

is that the lee solo songwriter CD????

I dont think so....

What????? I'm on the Important Records mailing list, how come they haven't told me???????

christ, lee's a real record label slut at the moment... seems like there's new SY side projects coming out every week just now...

Yeah these days it's easier to keep track of Merzbow's output than sy's side projects....

it's sad because it's true.

i had no clue this was getting ready to be put out. but that's what i get for not watching the website like i should.

no matter, i must have it all.

loving Lee .... I had a dream Lee had 5 songs on the new album ....and of course they were awesome :)

Thanks for the heads up Moshe! I will probably order both those. I am just really curious about the disc that comes with "Road Movies".

the last two Lee things i've bought haven't been totally amazing so i'll probably give these ones a miss.. oasis of whispers is okay and celestial answer is good... drift was cool too...
best lee moment: BCM collab on PSI
PS more interested in Dream Aktion Unit and Thurston/Blockaders CDs that are forthcoming

thanks Moshe!

hehe, Vancouver Ambients...sound soo fucking cool!

Buy the dress! and this too!

dress made of drift dvds...

Titled Ambient Loop For Vancouver the cd contains brand new guitar work from Lee. It's quasi-religious drone, a sacred work that is as sedating as it is chaotic. Totally brilliant modern improvised guitar work.

I've ordered both the 7" and the CD/book (oh great, now I'll have THREE copies of Road Movies) and have been told they'll be mailing today. But now I have to wait two to three weeks for them to arrive. :(

i'm so relieved to find out that these things are so cheap.

There's an mp3 sample on their site

I take it Vancouver Ambients 1-4 and Ambient Loop For Vancouver are different recordings? hmm, i already have road movies.
