New Release from MAGGOTAPPLEWONDERLAND
This four track, 20+ minute slab of depressive audio poetics will finally rear it's head by months end. Muted in a Perfect Black continues to show the exploration in sound and composition. As the title indicates, this EP is dark, and painfully depressive. It is MAW for Christ's sake, what else would you expect?

Eyes Cast Down Reviews A Life Incandescent
"Tennessee space musicians Mark Mahoney and Michael Peck team up for their fourth duo album, A Life Incandescent (Waiting World Records 009), a feast of classic analog sounds with a strong science-fiction, exploratory vibe. The music was recorded live (at the Gathering and on Star’s End) in 2008, with both musicians working synths & laptops, and released in June 2010.
Two of the album’s standout features are clear very early on: energy and concision. Each piece crackles with energy (both organic & electronic). Buzzing leads, filter sweeps, roaring basses, spiraling spacelines, ghostly atmospheres, insect-like nicks and ticks, and more, drive us through a galaxy rich in wonders. There’s no floaty “new age” indulgence here; this is serious space music, meticulously crafted with clear intent."

Kuwahara Cultivations Series Volume 1
Waiting World Records is proud to announce Cultivation Series Volume 1 from the post-industrial/dark ambient outfit Kuwahara (Mike Honeycutt and M. Peck) is now available.
Unlike many sophomore releases, this 45 minute slab of gnarled soundscapes and shimmering audio poetics are remixes of the tracks featured on the groups highly acclaimed debut HoneyCult.
Cultivation Series Volume 1 features remixes from some of today's most notable sound artists and standouts in their genres with offerings from WILT, Steve Brand, Mannequin Hollowcaust, Andrew Lagowski and two previously unreleased tracks from Kuwahara. Make no mistake, these are not just rehashed renditions of the original tracks and come off as something entirely new to the listener. Each artist left their own mark on the tracks leaving the release as a whole, a very fluid and coherent offering, albeit jaundiced and decrepit, this album reeks of brilliance in a most progressive manner.
This release comes packaged with full color artwork and full color CDr housed in a ultra clear poly bag. Please send $10 (includes S/H to mpeckmusic (@) gmail dot com to order yours today.

ECHOTOMB Free Net Release
From deep within the Appalachia, resident beatmeister ECHOTOMB (M. Peck) is set to release his
forthcoming full length “Error to the Throne” which if you’ve kept up is the follow up to his 2010
EP “LID”. More than just a heaping offering of beat madness, this album explores the depths of timbre and
tonality while staying accessible and experimental at the same time coupled with Zappaesque melody
lines and playfulness.
Clocking in at just under an hour, this album reveals the endless boundaries of Peck’s sonic palette, and
is easily his best "beat" work to date. One can still see Peck giving a proper nod to his peers but also separating himself to a level and realm all his own, and taking the jive higher and higher.
This is a Free Net Release (donations are gladly accepted at mpeckmusic (at) gmail dot com. Go to http://soundcloud.com/echotomb and download the set today!

A Recent Nod from Star's End
In early 2010, we released the final installment from the duo Mahoney & Peck A Life Incandescent and received some note worthy attention. Recently, we were made aware that it also was picked by Star's End as a significant release of 2010. Here is the link to view the entire list, and a special thank you to SE host Chuck van Zyl for his support on the album as his artwork graces the cover, and to Art Cohen that assisted in engineering this album.
