News January 2012

• Happy 2012: If you're currently celebrating the start of a new year, then we hope it's a good one. Don't worry, the Mayans will be proven wrong.

• New album - Following the popularity of Gold Coins for a Cat this time last year, we're delighted to present a second collection of works by the late Japanese synthesizer pioneer Michishige Tomohisa. Acid Wilhelm has this time assembled a number of recordings based on or inspired by works of famous composers and traditional folk pieces. Once again, these are the best / latest version of each recording, encoded for super hi-fi stereo sound at the maximum 320kbps rate. Click here to listen. This album is dedicated to JCS, an old friend.

• New look: We've had the place redecorated.

• Now That I'm a Grown up: The Learn to Swim Blog is long overdue an update but as it's only concerned with ephemera and mundanity, being up-to-the minute is hardly the point.

• Connections: here is breakdown of Learn to Swim's half-assed attempt to be interactive:
