ROBERTS, DEAN - Moth Park: Soundtracks To Utopia

"A release from New Zealand's Dean Roberts, whose previous projects included the now defunct Thela (2 full length CDs on Ecstatic Peace) and the White Winged Moth. This new work for solo electric guitar and atmosphere has been released under the name Moth Park, as the debut release on Dean's new label, Formacentric Disk. Incorporating drone, sound-sculpture and a post-AMM sense of air-piercing magnitude, this marks Dean's most fully realized insight into the world of hovering space/sound yet. A classic of contemporary emotional minimalism in a league of it's own. "His musical activities came into appearance in 1994 while studying with Philip Dadson (Scratch Orchestra/From Scratch) at the University of Auckland. During this period he began developing his work primarily with the electric guitar employing preparations and extended techniques.The facility of this meta-language is prevalent through a back catalog of obscure and not-so releases spanning some 7 albums, a guitar style that dominated his solo project White Winged Moth and the dissolved Thela, a band that he lead and composed for from '93 to '96. This new album is made up of solo guitar improvisations from 1997 recorded in crystalline fidelity by Travis Hefferen.The album is a concise and definitive exploration into the harmonically fluorescent electric guitar style developed on previous recordings. Within the form of 4 soundtrack pieces, this dense and colorful work narrates 45 minutes of intricacy, control, and displays a uniquely modernist approach to an instrument killed and brought back to life. This album shares an ethos and alignment to developmental work of instrument de-constructivists on the Frith/Reichel/Mark Hewins/Remko Scha axis,though a pragmatic approach gives way,and is balanced by an underlying narrative thread." -- Phillip Browne." - Formacentric Disk (New Zealand).

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
