First things first, I know that I've had a "sold out" label on Cinchel drone.dump for quite some time, but tooling around the internet it appears that copies remain available elsewhere. Cinchel himself is selling a few and Permanent Records and the Milwaukee Avenue Reckless Records have remaining copies. Support your local drone artist and support your neighborhood record shop!
You can find audio and tapes for sale at Cinchel's page.
Secondly, the Vital Sound compilation is being pressed; the pressing plant is currently working on the audio. There were some slight delays, but everything is back to working order.
Third, there is a new page at Discogs for 'Spective. I have available tapes for sale there, and all releases listed for the purpose of keeping a catalog. Once the releases are voted to be correct, I can add more label information and artist information -- if you're reading this and have a Discogs account, you can help.
As for purchasing a tape, send a Paypal to spectiveaudio [at] gmail [dot] com. Domestic shipping is included in tape prices, which is $5 for CS1, CS4, and CS5. $7 is the suggested donation for CS6 tape and artwork, although we can always work something else out.
Intense, surreal, remote, dynamic. Come along with us as we chronicle the adventures of the soul through psychedelic, drone, noise, experimental, pop music based around Chicago bands in particular and local bands everywhere.

Cinchel at Tomentosa
I know it's been a while, but there is going to be an excellent cassette on the way, and in the meantime, Cinchel tapes remain at Tomentosa. Check it out:
Tomentosa 'Spective Audio
I am definitely sold out of Cinchel tapes. There are copies remaining at a couple Reckless stores, Permanent Records, Tomentosa, and I believe the artist himself still has a few....

Featured release at Permanent!
Our releases are now on sale at Permanent Records, and the gang over there is featuring The N.E.C. and Sunny Muffdivers in their updates this week!
Cinchel's drone.dump is on sale for $5.99 over there, and Sunny Muffdivers and The N.E.C. are $4.99.
Check it out!
From the Permanent Records email update:
Tape - Sunny Muffdivers - All Half Evil (C26, Translucent Neon)
Pay no attention to the silly band name, this tape totally rips. Sunny Muffdivers is from Hotlanta and according to their Myspace page they "are here to send you somewhere you may not want to go". Maybe some people don't want to go to this place, but we absolutely do. The place they're speaking of is the homeland of repetitive, noisy psychedelic ROCK! We imagine that most of you would also like to go to there. Spective Audio is off to a great start as a recently established tape label. Here's what they told us about this one:
"Psych sludge doom. Pure sonic assult from Atlanta, inverting relationships between fuzz and rhythms throughout the four pieces on this cassette. Unrelenting drums and blistering fuzz create spaces for your mind to hide - this one is equally psychological and psychedelic."
We'll agree with that completely. Fans of repetitive dirges and krauty psych will totally love this tape. It's one of the most vinyl-ready tapes we've heard in a while.
Tape - NEC - B-Sides (C45, Tinted Red)
Spective Audio has another hit on their hands with this NEC tape. Here's the scoop from the label:
"The N.E.C. split the difference between the ambient and heavy sides of Atlanta's Psychedelic scene. Between their driving fuz and soul sensibilities, the band drone, meander, and layer their journey, offering signposts that are equal parts noise and pop."
Yet again, Spective is totally right on. This tape also rules!
A big thank you to Permanent for putting these on their site, and a big thank you for carrying these tapes. Go check 'em out!

CINCHEL Update
Head over to Milwaukee Ave. Reckless to check out the Cinchel tape, they have some brand new copies over there.
I also believe there are some copies at Permanent, via Cinchel himself. Support your local stores and an exceptional local guitar artist!
Email me if you want a copy via mail, we're running low. Feel free to use pay pal for any orders: spectiveaudio [at] gmail [dot] com.
Cinchel drone.dump (including hand-made segments of a large watercolor, individually unique to each package. Kelly green tape.)
Release date: March 2, 2010
This release is personal in the most significant way; I received it as a gift after watching Chicago guitar artist Cinchel play a set at Hotti Biscotti alongside Dense Reduction and Travis Bird. It was handed to me in an elaborate, hand-made watercolor double-CD case, and it featured two astonishing releases: one featuring guitar compositions alongside various found sounds and recordings, and another featuring pure, intense, nearly endless guitar drones, sustaining for an hour.
This is a story about those guitar drones.
Endless notes sustain through both sides, as Cinchel constructs a note, leaves it there, suspends it in time, only interrupting it with sometimes chaotic, unsettling arrangements that pass through the recording with a certain peace that is completely at tension with the endless note. Textures arise with this method, and the surprise of the arrangements add to the suspense of the overall composition.
By cycling the notes, and continuously processing or manipulating the sound, Cinchel creates a dense landscape that is ominous, labyrinthine, introspective. The event of this release is your very own reflection throughout its sounds, and while focusing on its moments, peaks, and surprises, the time stamps on the progression of the tape are your thoughts, emotions, and desires that correspond to, or conspire against, the recording.
As a sonic adventure, the piece closes with an assault on the previous template for reflection, the full 40 minutes of music that precede the finale, the most brutally repetitive passage of the entire recording, a dark timbre, built completely from the sum of the previous arrangements, a climax that did not seem likely and is therefore that much more effective. By the closing loop, the tension decreases, and the mind is once again ready to reflect and encounter the emotional passages of a world that begins once the recording is completed.

'Spective Audio Update
The Sunny Muffdivers All Half Evil C26 have arrived! Crusty sludge psych doom from Atlanta...four relentless instrumental pieces that bludgeon the psyche with exercises in repetitive fuzz lines, from Link Wray to Wooden Shjips. Rhythmic at their core, this release is psychedelic in the tradition of bending the mind through sonic attack. This is not a laid back, airy psychedelic journey. Through the four pieces, the band traces their steps, exploring familiar landscapes obscured by distant memories, through approaches that often wash over the listener.
