Collapsing Silence
"I move the landscape, the trees,
and the air with my body. I create environments with great detail and then
destroy them as they are replaced with a new image... I find darkness.
I find light. Ego recedes."

Manifold Records
Vince Harrigan runs this fine dark
ambient label based in Memphis. Of course, we may be biased; two early
Mandible Chatter CDs were released on Manifold. But honestly, Vince always
has a great selection of the newest in obscure mysteries.
Featured Artist(s): Aube, Totemplow, Maeror Tri, much more...

As far as we're concerned, Shouting at the Ground
is the definitive work of the ambient-industrial genre.

Coil
Coil have gone beyond their dark
industrial roots to become fine craftsmen of ritual and moon music.

The Beatles
"Some said it couldn't really be
happening; that it was just publicity... Others said they couldn't last
more than a month or two; that nobody could hang on to that kind of fame.
The Beatles, of course, proved them wrong..."

The Residents
Well, after the Beatles you gotta have
the "anti-Beatles." The best thing ever to come out of Shreveport, it was these
unwitting, faceless four that brought Mandible Chatter together. Blame it on
them.

Joe Frank
"When endowed with profound religious
feeling, your skin becomes transparent and your blood begins to turn a thin
watery hue until the light of the sun streaming in the window passes entirely
through you... It is this condition of bliss that Joe Frank: Somewhere Out
There will attempt to elicit in its listeners."

John Cage
Were John Cage and Alan Watts separated
at birth? We're not sure, but certainly they do have a lot in common...
This is a good starting point.
