We're happy the announce the new CD from The Infant Cycle:
A new Infant Cycle CD!
"We're happy to introduce the new full-length record from The Infant Cycle. The Sand Rays is to be played from the outside to the center, from whichever edge you choose. The Sand Rays is pinball rhythm reverberations from sliced vinyl record playout grooves, gravelly surface vibrations. The Sand Rays is exploiting broken cords, near-empty batteries, half-broken equipment. We loved it and think you will too. Just be prepared to be a bit more confused when it is all over, but don't worry: you'll be too busy wiping that silly grin off your face because you had such a fun time.
"The Infant Cycle, active since 1992, is the brainchild of Jim DeJong. He has released material on such labels as Drone, EE Tapes, Hands, Moloko+, Afe, Zhelezobeton, Blade, Abgurd, and his own The Ceiling. Additionally he is a former member of Mind Skelp-cher and (as The Infant Cycle) has collaborated with numerous artists including Aidan Baker, Orphx, and Dronaement."
Housed in a custom printed color wallet. Edition of 500 copies.
Copies are available from us for $16 CAD / $14.40 USD postage paid in the U.S.A or Canada, or please write to Diophantine Discs.
We also have word that Vlor's new CD, "Six Winged" is heading to the pressing plant. Featuring a collaborative track with The Infant Cycle, it is being released by Brian John Mitchell's Silber imprint.
After a round of delays, work has resumed on a collaborative disc with David Wells. This time, The Infant Cycle is working with old friend and collaborator Jared Davison, on a series of vignettes based on Wells' recordinga of a street festival in Edinburgh. The release will most likely be on the SiRidisc label, and will be an interesting mix of the distinctive personalities of all three parties.

A mysterious disc.

There are those who would believe a timely update from The Ceiling is some sort of an April Fools joke.
But we would hope that you will check out our new updated catalogue including newly arrived copies of "Rural Sprawl" by Aidan Baker and The Infant Cycle, spring's sonic flower blooming on the vines curling around your consciousness, for those of you that missed out on the "Rural" CD from way back in 2002...
Out a few days ago, is Abgurd's package, "Trialism - Clear Shapes Stereo" by The Infant Cycle. This is a 2x3" CDR set, the first disc comprising the stereo mixes for "Clear Square", "Clear Hexagon", and "Clear Triangle"- one-sided shaped lathe 8"s on The Ceiling. The second disc is the belated b-sides issued online in 2005 by Sonus.ca. Copies are presently available at Abgurd mailorder, and we hope to have copies here shortly.
There is an Infant Cycle site slowly coming together: theinfantcycle.com for those more interested in The Infant Cycle, rather than the Ceiling, although, naturally, there will be a great deal of overlap between the sites.
There is also a new Infant Cycle blog: theinfantcycle.com/cycleinfantthe, in this case very similar to the blog at myspace.com/the_ceiling, though will possibly be more up-to-date, and without the overkill of myspace.
