One Of The Many Reasons I LOVE Aquarius Records

This is part of their review for Alva Noto's new CD Unitxt:

"Imagine a huge white glass cube filled with robots, all hunkered over computers and drum machines, and synthesizers and equalizers, everything totally automated, huge gears turning, machines pulsing, the robots locked into the same motion over and over, a strange assembly line. At the end, a tiny speaker, facing a huge empty grassy field, a blue sky, nothing in the sky but a single white cloud. Perfectly ovoid. Out of the speaker comes this. That's what we imagine when we listen to Unitxt."

Not only do they review the best shit around but they do it with the best words. You can read the rest of this review on their current New Arrivals list.

It's Christmas time

I just got out of the shower and was getting dressed when the doorbell rang. Elise was due home from so I thought it was her. I finished getting dressed, meanwhile the doorbell kept on ringing. I get downstairs and see a note stuck to the door from UPS. I run outside, door slamming behind me, running down the street trying to catch the man holding my much desired package from Aquarius Records. I reach him, sign for my goods, and run back home. I get to the locked door only to realize my keys are still upstairs on my dresser. Shit. It's fucking cold outside and all I'm wearing is pants and a t-shirt. I figure I'll bug one of my neighbors so I ring their doorbell, they come downstairs, let me in, etc. I get upstairs and open my package.....
