After what has been the longest gap in activity since the inception of the label, The Ceiling has lurched into gear again...

First news is the new split EP from The Infant Cycle and The Ancient Tapes of Indu Mezu, out now on Cold Graey, the always high quality label from Russia. This is released in an edition of a scant 57 copies, so don't delay! Copies are available here at The Ceiling.

We've been working at making some older albums available again as downloads via Bandcamp. It began with "A Mysterious Disc" by The Infant Cycle, with Chronic Remorse's "Shortwave Radio Appreciation Society" compilation CD (this being the twentieth anniversary of much of that material) and The Infant Cycle's "Plays Fender Bass Guitars...) EP, . Previews of all the tracks can be heard at that site. Also other older material is finding its way to that site from the Infant Cycle, including the collaborative EP with Orphx, "Interference", and "Playout" on the label Zhelezobeton (to coincide with the new CD on that label... next paragraph!).

Coming in a few months is "Drop-out Center", the new CD album from The Infant Cycle on Zhelezobeton, the first album of new material in a few years, although sneak peaks have already surfaced of some of it, including the new Youtube channel... (next paragraph!)

We've started a new Youtube channel for The Infant Cycle. Starting at eight selections of single frame visuals, the selections covers both upcoming tracks and rare older stuff stretching back to 1995's "4 AM Wallpaper".

Recently out on Silber, is the new MP3 only release of "My Brother's Guns and Knives" by Remora. Taking the track from their recent CD, they give the track to wide array of guests to do what they want with it. The Infant Cycle was one of the lucky researchers, reworking the material before listening to the original track. It's a free download- check it out.

Another free download is the Nightwaves #3 compilation, compiled by Gary Flanagan. This features over two hours of Canadian electronic music that has been covered in Nightwaves pages, ranging from synth pop to techno, no lots of "not sure what to call it". At this price you can't afford not to at least look...
