The Black Earth Media Catalogue... So far, we have birthed 10 records into the world. Since our initial burst of energy at our inception in 2000, things have slowed down. I've seem to have spent the last few years reproducing children rather than records. Still, with an ever rising popularity, and a growing number of artists, we can expect to see many more to follow. BECD01 - Sunrise - Growing pains BECD02 - Sunrse - Everything seems different now BECD03 - Dharmadas - Songs of the self BECD04 - Fruits of the Earth BECD05 - Digital Orange - Nevermind the Sex Pistols BECD06 - Gareth Williams - The ins and outs of a tiny metal box BECD07 - Sunrise - Live @ the invisible circus BECD08 - Alias Smith & Jones BECD09 - Jester Band - Incarnations BECD10 - Sunrise - Equinox BECD10 - Sunrise - Live 25.10.08 BECD12 - Magick Carpet - Magick Carpet BEMCD01: Sunrise - Growing Pains This
was the one which kicked it all off. Sunrise's debut is a collection
of 9 remastered tracks from their back catalogue of dusty recordings.
Intended as a journey through their early years, with the tracks listed
oldest first. A varying range of moods can be found on this album, some
live, some studio, all in their unique experimental electronic style.
Still sounding fresh to this day. Line up consists of Andy Teasdale
& Andy Grant.

BEMCD02: Sunrise - Everything Seems Different Now In
this second album Sunrise have evolved from the purely electronic by
adding many acoustic elements. Live guitars and hand drums add to this
soundscape along side the usual range of synthetic sounds you have come
to expect from the Sunrise duo. The music has more feeling and the compositions
have more subtle complexities. The shifts in style and mood from one
track to the next leaves your ears refreshed and open to the unexpected.
Sunrise have definitely bettered themselves!
CD code BEM02
BEMCD03: Dharmadas - Songs of the Self Now
under the guise of Jester Band,
Smudger, alias Dharmadas brings you a 5 track ep with a wealth of feeling
and an eclectic range of instuments. Essentially this has a folk backbone
with influences from the east, as shown with the soulfull sound of indian
percussion instruments, such as the tablas and mridang, spanish guitar
melodies, complex harmonica playing and beautiful lyrical compostions.

BEMCD04: Fruits of the Earth - Vol. 1 Why
not take the oppourtunity to grab yourself a copy of the ever popular
compilation album "Fruits of the Earth vol. 1"

and containing some never before released work. Artists include: Dharmadas, Digital Orange, Murdangurudu, Sunrise, Co-conspiritors & The Telemeres.
CD code BEM04
BEMCD05: Digital Orange - Nevermind the Sex Pistols... This
is Digital Orange's first album, comprising of music, spoken wordpieces
and more music. As an accomplished musician, Digital Orange delivers
beautifully played, well thought out compositions. He's also not afraid
of grasping modern musical technology by its knobs and giving them a
tweak here and there. All music written, and performed, recorded, engineered
and produced by Gareth Williams.
CD code BEM05
BEMCD06: Gareth Williams - The ins and outs of a tiny metal box This
is Gareth Williams' second release, previously under the guise of Digital
Orange. "Ins and outs..." is a collection of three pieces, all originally
written as a backing for choreographed dance movements. Very electro
sounds here, and a nod of the head to German pioneers, Kraftwerk. Enjoy!
CD code BEM06
BEMCD07: Sunrise - live @ the invisible circus A
short e.p. from Sunrise containing excerts from a live performance in
aid of Circus to Iraq. Performed with the different line up of
Andy Teasdale & seasoned DJ Joe Duirwyn, a strong change in style
from previously released recordings is prevalent. Chilled and yet upbeat. This release is a limited edition only. Grab it while you can... Artists include: Andy Teasdale, Joe Duirwyn.

CD code BEM08
BEMCD09: Jester Band - Incarnations October
2006 sees Black Earth Media's 9th release, "Incarnations"
by Jester Band. A fine blend of blues, r&b & folk
rock, Jester Band will gently soothe your soul. A strong spiritual vibe
throughout, with a couple of familiar covers thrown in.
CD code BEM09
BEMCD10: Sunrise - Equinox The third album from Sunrise is a studio based collection of varying styles and moods. Keeping on the electronic feel, but with some pieces (Paper Thin) being purely acoustic guitar, heavily sampled, edited & looped. Other directions are ventured into in My Imaginary Friend where a purely pizzicato string style developes numerically around the fibbonacci series of numbers. So, well, some pieces may not be to the common taste buds, but experimentally speaking definitely worth a listen - while others deliver that classic Sunrise vibe we've all come to know and love. Without a doubt the most polished production from Sunrise yet.
CD code BEM10 BEMCD10: Sunrise - Live 25.10.08 A recording taken from a live show at The Mulberry Bush Cafe. A continuous soundscape, featuring new material, old classic remixed, and textured soundscaped intervals. We'll be waiting for the studio versions of these new tunes all the same...
CD code BEM11
BEMCD12: Magick Carpet - Magick Carpet May 2009 sees Black Earth Media's 12th release, "Magick Carpet" by none other than Magick Carpet. An intricate weave of Jazz and classical indian instrumentation, to take you on a billowing spiritual journey through the astral plane.
