A
special day of music, beer, fun and new records!
The Fruits de Mer 10th
birthday all-dayer at Glastonbury's King Arthur pub on May 12th
will no doubt be a fantastic day for those lucky enough to
attend. It's already sold-out but you may be able to get a ticket
from Ebay. Along with the live music there'll be the opportunity to
purchase new and limited items from the increasingly collectable
label. Completists will be hoping they don't sell out there and then
so keep an eye on the FdM website for any left-over stock. Here's a
round-up of the new vinyl that will be on sale in the vale...
Tir na nOg – Hall
Of Mirrors - lathe-cut 7” (90 copies only)
Could
there be a more fitting act to be playing on the mystic Vale of
Avalon on a beautiful spring day? Answer – no. Tir na nOg will have
this delightful 7” available on the day. It features two tracks –
'Columbine' has lyrics taken from a 1920s fantasy novel
Lud-in-the-Mist, and tells the tale of what happens when you eat
mind-altering fruit. The other side is a cover of 'Hall Of Mirrors'
by Sweeney's Men.
Moonweevil –
Vertical Tide - LP + CD (160 copies)
Rob
Appleton is the keyboard player in progressive rockers Cranium Pie.
Having recently moved to Austria, he's been creating instrumental
library music. This thoroughly captivating LP is an extension of that
work. Though more “out there” and experimental. A hot one folks!
Grab a copy if you can before the price goes through the roof on
Discogs.
The Honey Pot /
Icarus Peel's Acid Reign – Silver Diamonds/Half Space - lathe-cut
5” single (80 copies)
Both bands playing on
the day, and here taking a side each of a split 5” single. The
Honey Pot's contribution was specially written for the gig/single and
is even more meta in that it celebrates previous FdM events. 'Half
Space', the track from Icarus Peel's Acid Reign, is described by Peel
as “a bongo freak-out with the potential to be lengthened at some
point”. Until then this 5” version will do nicely. It comes housed is a special tin. Perfect for damage limitation at an all-dayer! Floppy hats
off to Fruits de Mer once again!
