cylon – resonanz

http://deadpilot.bigcartel.com/product/cylon-resonanz

**PRE ORDER ITEM, SPECIAL PRICE, REGULAR PRICE £6.50. EXPECTED TO BE SHIPPING EARLY AUGUST. PLEASE ORDER SEPARATE FROM OTHER ITEMS, THANK YOU**

Cylon is danish musician and net label co-founder Jannick Schou. I first heard his music through Ian who runs Heat Death, who sent me a copy of a demo Jannick had sent him. I was instantly in love with what I heard; 6 tracks of totally amazing subtle ambiance. I’m pretty lost for words when I think about this release, but I can say that it is totally ethereal and mesmerizing. I have lost my self in this album several times and each time I discovered new depths to it. It sounds like floating in clouds, it really does. Magical, elegant and uplifting; Jannick has created something really wonderful here and it gives me great pleasure to release it.

Limited to just 250 copies, packaged in a hand numbered and hand stamped 4 panel recycled card digipak with inserts.

Check out Jannicks free release here:

Head over to his myspace to hear 3 tracks from the album.
