Tarantula Parlour
The Poisonous Portrait
45 Copies
I'm very pleased indeed to be offering up the debut release by Tarantula Parlour entitled "The Poisonous Portrait"
via Sleep FUSE. This is Sarada's brand new dungeon synth project. Originally we started discussing this one
pre-pandemic. Sarada went away with various ideas and has basically created something which really is a great listen.
This project fully utilizes Sarada's love of creepy vintage horror movie soundtracks and adds a few extra elements of
retro sounding 1970's electronic kosmiche and haunting satiesque piano motifs.
This is a six track EP which clocks in at around 21 minutes of music and comes as a cardboard boxed limited
edition 8cm mini cdr. Each cd box is individually numbered and comes with an insert and clothing peg.
Sarada has also provided the artwork for the box lid which works beautifully.
THIS GETS MY HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION.
Cost as follows :
UK = £11.50
Europe = £16.50 GBP (standard airmail with no tracking)
USA & ROW = £18.50 GBP (standard airmail with no tracking)

really lovely ambient electronic sounding album.

Tech Riders
Double Factorial
Limited edition 2 x 8cm mini cdr set
30 Copies
This Sleep FUSE release is more or less exactly the kind of thing I set up the label for in the first place.
Here we have "Double Factorial" by Tech Riders aka Sindre Bjerga and Frans de Waard.
Both of these artists have created interesting music in the electronic and drone scene for some time.
It has been a kind of very theraputic exercise creating this release. First of all it was cool working with
Sindre again (the last time was with Bjerga & Iverson on Reverb Worship sometime ago).
Secondly I wanted to work with Frans for sometime having enjoyed his work over previous projects
including Beequeen and Freiband. I was given the task of creating a look for the release with utilizing
the guys idea of using 1980's xerox artwork which they both loved. So.. each of these 30 boxes
is different with different applied paste on panels. They are presented in a 8cm x 8cm cardboard
box which contains two 8cm mini cdrs which have hand ink stamps in blue and pink plus a numbered
insert. Both discs contain sixteen minutes of music recorded at Worm, Rotterdam, the Netherlands
in february 26th-27th 2019. The music on these discs contains industrial experimental sounds,
musique concrete, cut up samples, noises and much more which make for a really absorbing listen.

Disciple Of Dagon
Demo
20 Copies
For my next release on Sleep FUSE may I introduce you to the very mysterious
Disciple Of Dagon. Originally issued on a very very limited and long sold out cassette.
The music on this EP touches base with both dark ambient and dungeon synth.
“I cannot think of the deep sea without shuddering at the nameless things that may at this very
moment be crawling and floundering on its slimy bed, worshiping their ancient stone idols
and carving their own detestable likenesses on submarine obelisks of water-soaked granite“.
The EP contains five tracks with around sixteen minutes of music. Recorded as a demo but actually
sounds amazingly good indeed, with its bubbling, gurgling ambient textures and themes.
This is a 8cm mini cdr which comes in a cardboard box. Each copy of the cd is individually
numbered and comes with an insert and a small selection of skull beads.

"Vast Mountain Castles". This is a 8cm mini cdr which comes in a cardboard box.
Each copy of the cd is individually numbered and comes with an insert and mini

premises in a far away land under complete and total secresy. This latest offering from
these four gentlemen in the form of "Requiem For Uriel". This is a dark and hauntingly
brooding EP of newly recorded material which is again inspired and directed by the

Linda & Steve Hillman
Ashtar
Expanded Reissue Cd
50 Copies
Continuing my fascination with electronic music from yesteryear. Here we present the
2019 Sleep FUSE expanded reissue of "Ashtar" from Steve Hillman and his late wife Linda.
This really is a very relaxing and chilled out album to listen to. The underlying concept
that Linda and Steve had in mind was that the music would utilise various ancient
musical modes (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian etc.) to create music that was by turns
mysterious, tranquil, meditative, atmospheric and to hopefully evoke vistas of long
forgotten civilisations.
Recording commenced on a humble four track portastudio in 1984 and the resultant album
"Ashtar" was released by Mirage in 1985. It was then released on Steve's Eye Tapes label in
1987 but with some melodic synth lines added to the title track and to “Silver Sleep” as it
was thought the original versions needed some extra textural sounds. “Reflections”, from
1985’s “Evocations” album, was also included with some new synth added.
The album was re-released again as a limited edition CD-R on the Auricle Music label in
2003. Since then it has remained unavailable but here it is again, this time in an expanded
form to include “Solace”, which was recorded during the sessions in 1984, plus the original
1985 Mirage release versions of the title track and “Silver Sleep”.
Check out "Ashtar" here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAYD1PsQTGE
This new Sleep FUSE reissue has been supervised by Steve himself. It comes with re-edited
artwork which was a painting by Linda from an original idea by Steve.
Available as a individually numbered edition of 50 copies with paste on photographic
panel artwork in opaque amaray style dvd cases.
Many thanks to the amazing Steve Hillman for allowing me to do this.

Carl Matthews
Iridescence
50 Copies
For my first full length cd on Sleep FUSE i'm really excited to announce the reissue of Carl Matthews
"Iridescence" album. Carl was one of the early pioneers in the UK electronic/synthesist movement,
producing cassette releases via Mirage, Electronical Dreams and various compilations. "Iridescence"
was originally released in 1983 on Mirage on cassette only. This cassette is now mega hard to find.
This Sleep FUSE reissue cd has been given full consent from Carl himself and is the first time in
thirty six years that the album has been available. "Iridescence" contains seven superb tracks of
electronic music which has not dated at all. This album has many comparisons with 1980's era
Tangerine Dream, Peter Baumann and Klaus Schultze. All of this album was played and produced
by Carl in 1982/3. I have tried to keep the aestheic of this reissue as close to the original cassette
theme as possible by using the same cover image and track running order.This is an edition of 50
individually numbered copies. It comes in a opaque amaray sized dvd case.The cover insert has
paste on glossy photographic panel artwork.

Count Shirintsu
Welcome Back, Count Shirintsu
30 Copies
Sleep FUSE presents the debut recording from Count Shirintsu. This is again a venture
into dungeon synth territory which tells the tale of Count Shirintsu.
I am back
After 7 long years
My name’s Shirintsu, Count of Akashiga realm. I reigned for a long time, in peace and
prosperity, until a group of slimy opponents took the power and forced me into exile.
On a rainy day, they celebrated my funeral.They performed a great ceremony, great
as the play they made up. A dead body was shown to my people as mine, dressed in
luxurious and large clothes. A mask was placed on the face of a plebian farmer,
murdered just to replace my corpse.
But I was alive.
Uncrowned and dethroned, forced to leave my people and my reign by an alliance of
slimy opponents, invidious of the greatness of my figure and my kingdom. They took
everything from me in a moonless night. They slaughtered my family and enslaved my
servants, and harmless against the blades, I was forced in exile far from my land.
However, few people did not believe the great lie about my death. One of them,
Kyoden, understood the false act and showed it for what it was to a handful of faithful.
With them, I studied and planned my return and my ultimate vengeance. Now finally
my kingdom is restored, but I need your help to tell my story to the world.
Spread the word, the Count is back!
This is a six track 8cm cd EP which clocks in at around 21 minutes.If you liked the
Pendragon, Resinator and Ancient Boreal Forest releases you will love this one.
