No man is an Island

Through the seemingly endless metropolis that is Tokyo, Max Essa manages to catch a glimpse of the setting sun and without warning his mind is cast back to lost summers upon the Iberian coast. Through a secret process involving silence and meditation before once again decending upon his guitars and synths, Max has been able to offer to us this little slice of what those summers must have sounded like.

Feel Music returns! We give you the debut release of February & Mars, two space cadets from Galway in the west of Ireland (with Feel Music's John Daly on Production). We really don't know how to describe this music... Classic drum machines and patterns, vintage synths, 80's arpeggios, incredibly tasteful vocals and, at times, epic guitars....! Think Magnum PI on a desert moon with Sade, David Crosby and some Shoegazers listening to House music.....

FE009 - February & Mars by john daly/ feel music .......................................................................

Check it out in your local vinyl emporium (now) or from digital sources (later)....

did you get the hunch?

Although the giant sun has returned of late to our west coast, hyperion is currently obscured by clouds. And so to label news... The latest release, “Travel the Earth” by Hunch (aka Hunee), is definitely a feeling. One could perhaps say that it's "deep, dark and mysterious". On the reverse face John presents a re-working of this recent offering from vaults of feel. Not many of these repressings about, did you get the hunch....?

The day stretches and the hours get longer. The back garden is fast becoming a pleasant meadow; daisies, dandelions and forget me nots, all of which we have no intentions of mowing, not at least until the powers that be return, but we'll be long gone by then.

The iridescence draws us out into the open once again, that repetition we all welcome.

Launch Party

2008-01-31T04:19:00.000-08:00

belated dispatches resound from elsewhere, seeking out uncoreced tympanic membranes to rejoice upon this celebration of nascence. We extend or hospitality beyond our musical invitee Max Essa to all and any who feel music. During the first night of the month of March, as the darkness covers one half of the moon and the hour nears eleven, we shall gather deep in "The Cellar" of Galway to resist 'recreating what has yet to be created'. Come enjoy this launch as the music slips away beyond us all...
