[image 1 200x200]Hello from Threshold House We have some very exciting news and some new releases too. More details to follow
LIVE IN PORTOFirstly we have obtained a small number copies of this unusual
Coil live CD - an "authorised bootleg" - of an unusual show Coil
played in Porto, Portugal on June 21st, 2003 at the Casa da Musica Festival.
Coil for that show were Peter Christopherson, Thighpaulsandra &
Ossian Brown (ie as with Mutek, in Montreal, Balance was too
sick to attend, so the show has a one-of-a kind sound, inspired
in part by the venue, which at that time was a half-completed
shell of an extremely futuristic arts centre).
These cds came in three variations of semi-transparent hand-made packaging.
The run of each variation was quite limited and we believe these
are the only new copies still available anywhere."

Peter Christopherson is very excited to announce he has
convinced Ivan Pavlov to join his new duo, SoiSong.Primarily located on the Eastern Pacific Rim, SOISONG will debut
in Japan in March 2008, closely followed by Bangkok, and
Singapore, but the band plans also to make some rare
appearances in Europe during May June July.
They would also play in other regions of space late 2008 and
into 2009, if invited by a serious institution.
The two-man show will combine Ivan's uncompromisingly-visceral
computer based music with Sleazy's decadent, dark and
whimsical approach to artificial vocals and 'South Seas' instrumentation...
The power and energy of Youth and the Russian Scientific Establishment
...with the filth, decay and corruption of English Maturity. ,-)
SOISONG has been brewing for months in the gloomy Soi's, or
alley-ways, of Bangkok - the world's most uninhibited Capitol
city, where unlocked i-phones, hi-speed broadband, young
brown flesh, and indeed Life itself, all come cheap...
...Where the voices heard in the dark, across the heaving shanty towns,
creaking over running sewers, mingle the agonised cries
of teenagers losing their virginity, with Revered Monks' dying
Invocations...
?????
SoiSong's first ep SOI-JIN-NO-HI will be available for free
download from www.thresholdhouse.com from March 2008,
and in a Collector's Specially Packaged edition, exclusively from
the band at shows.
If any of this edition remain unsold when the following release
appears, (likely an album in Fall 2008), the remaining eps will be
available by mail-order.

SOISONG rejects 95% of what you can hear now as banal and meaningless.
/...Not to be undertaken lightly.../
Anyone unfamiliar with the work of Ivan Pavlov should check out
the limited edition his solo album Above Air, a few of which
remain
here.
This offers a fascinating preview and insight into the
development and personality of the band which is set to take
over from Coil at the forefront of this genre, and may in the long
run, create new genres of its own. Not to be missed! ,-)
