UUUUUU - The Astral Travels cd-r



 


UUUUUU is Scotland's Derek McArthur. The Astral Travels is a sprawling 75 minute album of lucid guitar drones, flowing through the cosmos at slow-motion-lightspeed. Pretty melodies develop over top of the patient compositions and unfold in a most comfortable fashion.

edition of 42

"6 U's".

Now that I've told you, has it made you more interested in hearing 75 minutes of ambient drone?

more interested? No. But I enjoy drone. So I was already interested. I would hever have guessed "6 u's". I actually thought it was "you you you you you you you"

Yeah the name came from when I first recorded a track for the project and randomly punched in uuuuuu as a placeholder. I started using it for all the other files and it stuck, I never thought of it's pronunciation when thinking of it. Most people I know just say 6 U's mostly cause 'you you you you you you' is way too tedious to say haha. It's only $6 if you're in the USA and the package is really cool (plus it's 75 minutes of music, and I write the pieces like songs so it doesn't entirely drone on), so you know, it's worth the money I'd say.

Oh and for those of you wondering, it's taken a long time for this to come together (I recorded it a year ago) and I'm glad it's came together cause this is my best work so far.

do want.

I pronounce it "ewwwww". it's the sound from stepping of feces, finding fresh roadkill under your tire, vomit in your backseat, a clogged or unflushed public toilet or even the simple fact of knowing that a coworker does not wash their hands.

drone on.

Send me a copy Derek. No money for such releases at the moment, I'm afraid. I will send you a bunch of stuff in return with bitching about things and art.

I'll see how many artist copies I get first (they've still not arrived, damn international shipping). I could easily send you the Robe. tape because I got a massive amount of copies of that, I'm not sure if this will be in the same scenario.

I chose to release it as a CD-R because I wanted to preserve the quality and that there would have been less copies made if it were cassette. I also wanted it to be available to those that don't have tape players (which is a surprising amount of people). I will probably (read: definitely) have cassette releases in the future though.

I don't really have other plans so far except create create create and hopefully one or two people will take notice haha.

This album is getting a lot more popularity than I thought it would though..
