NEW Mp3.com EXCLUSIVE track!

Since everyone seemed to enjoy “Echoes” so much, we put up a second out-take track, this time from the Flux sessions. “Influx” has been holding on at #5 in Ambient Drum ‘n’ Bass the past two weeks, which is really cool. Once again, this track is ONLY available through MP3.com!

Speaking of charting, we’ve put the LSD Live DAM CD on sale this week, in celebration of “Liberflusse (Live Acoustic)” being the #1 Folk track. If you haven’t already picked up a copy, you may want to check that out now.

We really appreciate all the support you’ve shown us, through both the Lovespirals and Love Spirals Downwards pages on MP3.com.

Please take the time to subscribe to our mailing list. Simply email us at: lovespirals@mac.com or go to our email page.

Peace,

Mp3.com EXCLUSIVE track!

Digging through the DAT collection, we came across a “lost” track of LSD’s from the Ever recording period! “Echoes” has a somewhat similar feel to “Madras” and “Sideways Forest (Quantum Remix),” with groovy loops and atmospheric textures, including a lovely ethereal vocal sample of Suzanne. This track is ONLY available through MP3.com!

Speaking of Mp3.com on LSD, our old tracks have been climbing the charts! “Delta” has been #1 on both the Shoegazer and Brit Pop charts all week; it even hit #31 on their Alternative charts for a day. “Sideways Forest (Quantum Remix)” has been flittering between #1 and #3 on the Trip Hop and Downtempo charts all week, too. Other tracks are also charting high, which is a very good thing, indeed. (I plan to take our Pay4Play earnings and invest them right back into much needed studio gear!) We really appreciate all the support of our loyal fans and new listeners alike!

Love Spirals Downwards Live CD

Happy Valentines Day!

At your request, we’ve released that vintage LSD live material as a DAM CD on mp3.com. The 9 songs included are from the Idylls through Ever period, all performed acoustically by Suzanne and I. Just to let you know, a DAM CD is not the same quality as a regular CD, as they use MP3s for the audio files. DAM CDs include both the source mp3 (for play on your computer or mp3 player) and an audio file version (which can be played on your CD player), as well as text and graphic files which you can view on your computer. This is basically an LSD collector’s item, with better sound than a bootleg cassette and a few more fun extras! For more info, and to hear sample audio, visit the LSD page on mp3.com at mp3.com/lovespiralsdown

I’m still going to look into having Projekt release it officially, because I’d really rather the audio not be split up in between songs, and because real CD quality is far superior to the DAM technology. So I guess this DAM could be a limited time only offer, depending on what happens. We’ll keep you posted!

Happy New Millennium!

Yes, it’s the REAL new Millennium and certainly a time for change. We’ll be updating our mp3.com page with many new songs — perhaps even the “Live Album” material. We plan to add a new audio page on this site with RealAudio and QuickTime files from every LSD album sometime in the near future. Later in the year, the whole site will be redesigned. Hopefully we’ll find a new way to host our e-store, which is closed for the time being. You might check for occasional sales of Love Spirals Downwards related merchanside on E-Bay, as Anji just auctioned off a copy of “50 Years of Sunshine,” and may be offering other such items from time to time.
