If you are coming by car there is no parking on Bell Street, but you should be able to find some in York Street which is just around the corner. The last stop on the 55 tram at Bell Street will get you nearby. Holdings is about a 5 block walk west from there. If you can get to Bell or Coburg Station the 513 bus will take you pretty much across the road. Just ask to get off before Reynolds Parade. Holdings is across the road from a 7-Eleven (which is on the corner of Reynolds & Bell) if you need a landmark.

Other: Metaphysical World Pieces #1 by Metaphysical Circuits

Metaphysical World Pieces #1 is a mostly Trans-Atlantic compilation put together by the folks at Metaphysical Circuits. 20 tracks of electronic kosmische, weirdo pop, ambient drone, leftfield techno and other oddities. Australia's representation is the track 'Василий Архипов' from Decent Therapy (a loose electronic project of Sabbatical co-founder Markus Cook). The compilation is digital download only and in the modern 'pay what you feel' price range. Below is a small selection of tracks to hopefully entice you into the late night exploration this effort deserves.

Other: Jonathon Nokes 'Convulsions'

Dapper Melbourne sound artist Jonathon Nokes in his own words sends too much time in MRI machines. Below is a fine piece of modular manipulation inspired by this medical diagnostic procedure. Make sure to strap on some headphones on to fully experience it. Please also remove any jewellry and credit cards and inform your technician of any metal implants.

Other: Refund 'Hill' & 'Gem'

Refund is Melbourne electronic musician/artist Matt Refund. Seems Matt has been recording a bit of late and has served up some goodness via Soundcloud. Breakcore? Noise? IDM? Modular Synth Worship? We'll leave that up to you.

Other: Moffarfarrah on Whiteness and Pinkness

One of Sabbatical's early releases (Little More - SBBTCL002) was of Melbourne's Christopher L G Hill's vocal based project 'Moffarfarrah' (and its myriad of various spellings). This project has a new C45 release on the Whiteness and Pinkness label entitled Primo. With a tip to the hat to the 90's Compact Disc fad of 'secret tracks', this cassette release revives this gimmick in the analogue format with these two tracks. Sorry if we just ruined it for you.

For those who missed out on the Sabbatical release here is a taste from one of its 76 tracks.

Saturday 27 July 2013

Other: Von Einem on Mazurka Editions

2 tracks from Sabbatical co-founder Mark Groves' frightening Von Einem project released by Mazurka Editions.

Track taken from 'Imagined Infractions' MZK012 / C20 / Edition of 30

Track taken from forthcoming split with Pleasure Bros.

Trade stock: South Saturn Delta 'Experience The Concreteness' (Cold Spring Records)



For this week's trade box selection we've got the psych-noise live album from South Saturn Delta from Cold Spring Records.

Something of a Japanese supergroup, South Saturn Delta bring together the iconic Maso Yamazaki (Masonna) with with Hiroshi Hasegawa (C.C.C.C. and Astro)—with an appearance from drummer Nobuko Emi on 'Rocket Incantation'.

These are all live recordings, collected between 2003 and 2005, which lends an aggressively primitive feel to proceedings. It's a great head cleaner.

We've got two copies left.

Trade stock: Nikita Golyshev 'Solaris' (Monochrome Vision)



We've accumulated a healthy stockpile of trades over the years. Long a feature of our merch table at live shows, we thought it time they were made available to our digital community. Each week we'll feature a different item from the trades box.

First up is a release from Moscow-based label, Monochrome Vision. Dmitry contacted us a while back and we did a massive trade. Our only request: only Russian releases. It was a choice that's yielded more than a few fantastic releases. We'll eventually get through all of them, but for now, we have Nikita Golyshev's slowly evolving textural missive, Solaris.

We've just got one copy, so first in, best dressed.
