SHADOW RING, THE - Live On KFJC

"In anticipation of the career-spanning box set The Shadow Ring: 1992–2002, Blank Forms is releasing Live on KFJC, a freshly-exhumed live radio set from 1996 documenting the riotous Folkestone band in a full-form, expanded lineup—a perfect stocking-stuffer for any beloved malcontent.

Recorded in London shortly after Waxwork Echoes (Corpus Hermeticum, 1996), the limited-edition cassette captures Graham Lambkin, Darren Harris, and the newly-joined Tim Goss as they breeze through highlights from their first three years as a group, such as “City Lights” and “Nocturnal Middle Rumbles,” and debut “Rats and Mice” from a forthcoming 7-inch, offering a preview of their storied 1996 United States tour. The festivities, broadcast live from JTI Studios in Brixton, were intended as a cross-pond fundraiser for the stalwart college radio station KFJC, operating out of Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California. Having recently started an online broadcast, the station assembled a heady bill featuring the Bevis Frond, Ramleh, free-jazz duo Ascension, and the Shadow Ring—joined here by Maria Lambkin and Howard “Bloodmouse” Lester on subtle percussion and John “Klaus Canterbury” Wright on xylophone—capturing them at a pivotal and frenzied moment in their artistic trajectory, their first and only live performance in the United Kingdom." - Blank Forms

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.
