This following excerpt was recently posted on the Star's End Weekly Update.
"Imagine you are traveling at light speed inyour spaceshipsomewhere out atthe furthest reaches of the aural universe. Suddenly there is a malfunction and you must ditchit on a nearby deserted desert planet! Oh No! With little hope of rescue you are on your own for the foreseeable future. So what music would youwant to have with you while you are waiting to be found? STAR'S END asked this of avid listener and supporter Kathy Jeffries ofBaltimore, Maryland. Kathy came up with a very interesting Top Ten. Admiting to having a difficult time narrowing it down to just ten discs Kathy does include a few double CD sets in her list (no doubt this excess weight in her luggage led to the crash!) So let us see what Kathy will be listening to until Space Patrol comes by to pick her up!"

Hypnagogue Review on Beyond the Vaulting Sky
"Mahoney's work is very electronic in nature, urging technosqueals and transistobabble from his gear and bending them to his compositional will. They're eminently malleable in his hands, readily made into workable components for his dark-edged soundforms. But he's equally at home working the waveform of a softer ambient flow. That craftsmanship is in full effect on Beyond the Vaulting Sky..."

The Hideaway
Johnson City, TN
$5 Cover
Hooking up with the Killbot for what should be a great night of breakcore madness. Xrin Arms, en route from the far West is bringing his own styled madness and from what I've read/listened/watched online he puts on one hell of a show. Looking forward to this.

CD Baby Storefront Pages
Recently, CD Baby.com began to update, revamp and enhance their website which inevitably means downtime, bad codes and frustration for all parties involved. So if you've been experiencing any of the above attempting to browse WWR titles, I apologize. I've been assured these issues will be resolved swiftly and I have no reason to doubt them.
Obviously, any orders can still be made to us directly and there's plenty of material to be digested at the respective WWR Artists Reverbnation.com pages.

Peck's DYSMHA reviewed by Heathen Harvest
Artist: M.Peck
Title: Dysmha
Label: Chaotic Underworld
Genre: Dark Ambient/ Electronic/ Glitch
Track Listing:
01 Deathbed Memory
02 Ghost With No Conscious
M.Peck (also known as Michael Peck and Redfadesbeforeblue) is a composer of electronic and dark ambient soundscapes. He’s been recording music with digital synthesizer, software applications and Theremin since 2000. Already known to the electronic scene as a maestro of ominous dark ambient, he brings us Dysmha.
“Deathbed Memory” is a texture of ambient sounds woven with Theremins, guitar effects, cymbals and some truly ghost-like vocals. It has what can best be described as a monumentally glacial mood. This is definitely music to conjure up a sinister atmosphere. Howling effects ascend and descend into a wasteland of eerie sounds.
“Ghost With Conscious”, while similar in sounds has a definite industrial slant to it. My only dispute is that maybe it’s a fraction too alike, as one song seemed to end without a new one beginning. That being said, it is a cohesive piece in relation to “Deathbed Memory” with a continuation of menacing sonic journey.
A level of above par production must be mentioned. In a word, it’s flawless. M.Peck’s technical ability is about as close to perfection as a performer can come to. That perfection can lean on the side of coldness, but maybe that was the point of the compositions within themselves. After all how many of our memories are of the warm and fuzzy nature (found on the deathbed or not)? Could the specter without awareness of their thoughts and actions be those around us or our own selves? Maybe M. Peck is asking us for that answer.
