v/a "Au revoir, 3S3TA"
3S3TA 6 / June 2008 / limited edition of 50 copies

Our sixth and final 3" cd-r: a mini-collection of new material from the artists featured on the previous five 3S3TA discs. Dreamy and/or dark psychedelics for the Summer of '08 (and beyond?), strictly limited to 50 copies! And that is indeed a photo of a dead, bleeding pigeon on the front cover.

Demented Stallion / Casio Explorer / Fra Blokland Til Blokland: "Broken Hearts & Broken Minds Meet in the All-White Hospital & They Hug in Secret Silence Ignored by the Outside World"
3S3TA 5 / October 2007 / limited edition of 30 copies

A selection of Kristian Thomsen's numerous projects, in glorious mono (as the Crunchy Frogs would say). Demented Stallion = meditative dronecraft via guitar effects and feedback. Casio Explorer = lo-fi Ariel-Pink-meets-Martin-Rev darkwave, with vocals (yes, and a Casio keyboard). Fra Blokland Til Blokland = sinister, often minimal electronica - enchanting and in yr face.

Kanada Brothers / Josef Ephraim Hudson / but his hands were tiny and so she said: "Several Days Spent in a Suburban Home"
3S3TA 4 / July 2006 / limited edition of 33 copies

Two of Claus Haxholm's more obscure solo projects appear here with his best known. Kanada Brothers is sine-based drone, Josef blesses us with fearless deconstructionist electro(nic)acoustics, and bhhwtasss is, here, at its most calm and accessible, with several popular favourites for you to enjoy.

Veguitar / Branta Ïx / The Inhibitionists:
"Appetite For Self Destruction"
3S3TA 3 / July 2006 / limited edition of 30 copies

After a two year hiatus, BSBTA's 3S3TA series returns with a three-way-split between label founder Christian Kann's own musical projects. Veguitar's "Svovlsyretrip" (a sulphuric acid trip!) is a collage of off-kilter acoustic Danish-language songs (and effects). Branta Ïx computes and rocks home, hinting at exciting things to come (which never did). The Inhibitionists collaborate with collaborators and him/itself. As if the music wasn't enough to get you excited (ahem), the cover art is printed directly on abstract watercolour paintings, making each cover unique.

75 Magic Tricks / The Cat Box Quartet / Exquisite Russian Brides: "A Little Called Anything"
3S3TA 2 / March 2004 / limited edition of 33 copies

Sticking with the 3S3TA concept, the one thing that these five pieces (from three different projects) have in common, is that Marc Kellaway (also of Vinyl Dog Joy) is ring leader; nine other musicians - some collaborating "live", others sampled - make cameo appearances on the three-inch. From the ambient drone soundscape of "Wind Piece" to the psycho-acoustic / experi-lectronic groovage of "Sleeping in Sweden", this release is a delicious little bit of anything from an enjoyably prolific musician. This release is sold out.

Christian H. Sötemann / cryptic scenery / The Organisation of Sound: "Music For Museums"
3S3TA 1 / November 2003 / limited edition of 33 copies

The first in a series of three-way-split three-inch CDs is the concept EP "Music For Museums" by Christian H. Sötemann and his two other more or less well-known projects. In fact, the nine recorded objects (all of which are instrumental) consist only of CHS on guitar or keyboard (often being utilized in quite unconventional ways) - with occassional added percussion. The titles are wonderfully interpreted via the music: "Chinese Porcelain Vase" is frail and sharp, "Dictator's Speech" is mad and brooding, and "Megalith" is catchy and flanged! This release is sold out.
