reviews
"The first release is a split CDR by Dead Wood which is label head honcho Adam Baker and Red Needled Sea who I think is some Greek dude. If I'm wrong then apologies in advance but after years of experience running an international mail order company I've never heard of anyone called Panos who ain't Greek. Eggs is eggs, yer mam's yer dad and Panos's are Greek... Anyhoo Dead Wood makes a handy 17 minute sized piece of music which is drones and tones. I suspect folks who liked the Monostation releases or maybe some of the Gareth Hardwick stuff will dig this.
Red Needled Sea treads a reasonably similar path though his has a darker more industrial ambience feel to it....industrial hums crossed with the swirling noise of a thunderous black hole. Limited to 60 copies"

"Here Deadwood and Red Needled Sea operate from the drone music end. Deadwood has a minimalist pattern that repeats itself with irregular intervals, in a sort of Oval manner when they turned more ambient and less rhythmic. Towards the end things get a bit distorted.
Red Needled Sea hoovers nicely on the bottom of the sea with a low rumble bass sound.
From standing on the bottom we hear a hovercraft passing. The piece stays on the same level throughout, but has quite an intense feel to it. Scary ambient."
