So, seven years on from the last printed Audion magazine, it's time
for a revival. A few months ago, a few people requested that I publish out of
print Audion issues as some form of download. The most logical format was
pdf, as it is totally transportable, will work on any media device with the
pdf viewer installed, and is printable. I just needed to work out the best
way of doing it. So, after doing a few reprints, each with between 1-4 hours
of audio samples, here's a brand new one! Currently this has over 3 hours of
audio attached, including 2 rare tracks. |

new
releases... released in August released 1st of March recent... Endgame - LIQUID TIME (AMCDR
302) CDR - brand new 20th anniversary 2019 session!
After a hiatus of several years, except for the occasional Quadelectronic
performance, this 20th anniversary session from Endgame just goes to show
that the daring spirit of Endgame has not at all died out. Fresh and vital,
this mixes some well-worn ideas with lots of new ones, and obviously some
ideas leeching through form parallel projects Triax and Approaching Infinity.
So, expect both the familiar Endgame style (if there is such a thing)
embellished by a lot that is different. Rancid Poultry - ARCHIVES
(Auricle, various catalogue numbers) - series of 6 discs all
containing previously unreleased recordings from the 1990s, all culled from
the best of jam sessions, live tapes and rehearsals, plus a download sampler
containing one track from each! New at
Bandcamp... New download collections and lots of
never reissued before titles! Alto Stratus - (QSO) Phenomenaï; Vrije: Transmission, Six,
Retrospection I, Blitzkrieg, Terminus, Retrospection 2; Adhara: Golden Dream,

Coronavirus health crisis During these difficult times Ultima Thule
will keep on running as long as the mail service keeps working. Please note that most venues are closing
their doors until who knows when? So all gigs are off. I'll add any updates
on the gigs page. Late news: on 30th of June Leicester was
put back on Lockdown, for two weeks, pending review. Alan & Steve at Ultima Thule |

New releases / yet to order... Caspar Brotzmann Massaker - THE TRIBE and BLACK AXIS - new reissues! Richard Pinhas - EAST WEST - LP/CD reissue on Bureau B The Spacious Mind - THE DRIFTER - oddments compilation with 1 new track probably some more East Euro reissues
including Modry Efekt titles etc. Monster Melodies Records... Thinking of stocking a few releases on
Monster Melodies Records from France. Mostly unreleased recordings of
the French 1970s underground. These are LP only, and are not cheap (will be
around £25 retail I think), and include: Xalph (moody Shub Niggurath /
Eskaton type band), Robert Wood And Woodlands - Live at Lons Le Saulnier,
1974 (excellent trippy psych/prog by electric vibes player, Gong & Lard
Free related), Eclosion - Eclosion (excellent trippy folk-psych/experimental,
ex Ame Son), Moving Gelatine Plates (unreleased sessions and live), etc. Souffle Continu Records... Another label I need to stock, once we
can raise the funds to do so. Lots of great rare stuff on the label. |
