'The Vortex Vault' is a mail-order only series of 12 CDs to be released on the 1st of every month by Beta-lactam Ring Records. First from the 'Vault' is 'Black Paper' which will be available on the 1st of December 2006 and the last in the series on the 1st of November 2007.
'The Vortex Vault' will be in part a collection of unreleased, unearthed and dusted down material from the vast Andrew Liles archive of unused studio material. 'The Vortex Vault' will also include brand new recordings, conceptual and collaborative pieces, special guests, krautrock psyche outs, spacerock, the odd and unlikely, Urdu, the obscure and arcane, aircraft, cicadas, the absurd and nonsensical. 'The Vortex Vault' is a platform to release radically different and eclectic material. Expect the unexpected, the minimalist and excessive, the demure and deranged.
The first in the series will be 'Black Paper' a recording with narration from Japanese author Kenji Siratori.
The second in the series will be 'Black Hole', and in no particular order will be followed by 'Black Beauty', 'Black Mamba', 'Black Pool', 'Black Sea', 'Black Panther', 'Black Sheep', 'Black Widow', 'Blackout', 'Black Market' and finishing with 'Black End'
