The newest release is the Sand Rays EP, The Ravages Of Commerce. Created using a bass guitar, organ and field recordings, it's a somewhat rougher-textured evolution from the recordings of the last few years, highlighting shorter durations while still residing in the meditational zone it has been existing. Available as mini-CDR, downloadable files or also the regular streaming services.

Two unusual reissues are also available, Warm Surface Noise For Submersive Types (inner)" and "outer" are now available as LPs. Collecting the material from the aforementioned compilation from two years ago, these are very limited 12" discs in full-colour sleeves. If not the newest Sand Rays tracks around, you may have to concede the surface noise is now warmer than ever.
Also part of this effort is a version of the CDR available from Elastic Stage, in an attempt to make it easier to attain in the UK and EU, postage wise and with less tariffs hassle. This particular version is package in a full colour cardboard sleeve.
(these new versions are differentiated with the catalogue numbers, respectively CEIL056A, CEIL056B and CEIL056C).
We run our out mailorder through Ebay, Bandcamp, and Discogs these days.
This year, there have been three new videos created for theceiling youtube channel, featuring music that has otherwise not been released: " Sleepover At Grey Station", "Words Of Affirmation", and the thirty-minute "Meditationary". All material derives from a similar universe of field recordings and drones. Plans are underway to make a physical release of this material.
Here is a playlist of this material with other videos of The Infant Cyce and The Sand Rays.
House Sounds is a compilation album from the ever-active Silbermedia, featuring a track from The Infant Cycle, a 12-minute condensation/excerpt from the seven-hour "The Overnighter". Also in Silber's ballpark is Vlor's "Rise Together" and "Remix Together" featuring a remix from The Sand Rays. All are available from Silber's Bandcamp.

More online reissues available from our bandcamp:
The Infant Cycle- The Bundle Of Joy
-Capturing the Infant Cycle story over twenty-odd (and sometimes very odd) years. Clocking in over thirty years, it captures the evolution from noise beginnings into austere, liminal ambiance, and the occasional jagged abrasion.
Available at The Infant Cycle's Bandcamp page.
The Sand Rays- Remembered Vol. 1
The Sand Rays- Remembered Vol. 2
-Two more compilations, together collecting the first eight EPs of the Sand Rays' existence. Starting from the sound of the late Infant Cycle and drifting over into a more abstract and disquieting atmosphere.
