About Me

Wonderful Wooden Reasons is a fanzine dedicated to experimental and non-commercial musics of all forms. The very fact that our name has been shamelessly stolen from the magnificent Faust should give you some idea of where our allegiances lie...............We are the in-house magazine for the Quiet World label (previously known as Elvis Coffee Records or ECR) and we are home to artists such as Psychic Space Invasion, Itto and The Buff Monkey Ensemble..............We started the zine to let people know about some of the cool music we were gifted or had bought. We don't review our own releases but you'll please allow us the conceit of recommending you check out our download page at the site listed below..............As a fanzine we are interested in all forms of experimental and drone music. Also noise, ambient, psychedelia, death metal, industrial, jazz, post rock, we listen to everything we're sent. We only have one rule. If we don't like it we won't review it. If there are things about it we liked we'll include it, we won't gloss over those things that we don't, but, just cause we don't like it doesn't mean it's crap so we don't rubbish anything................We accept all formats for review but please send the finished article, including the sleeve, inserts, etc, so we can give a full review. We are also always on the lookout for things to read and watch. However, we rarely have time to download mp3s and we don't open attachments. We like things we can hold and appreciate.................Send submissions to:- 49 CYPRESS AVENUE, WEST CROSS, SWANSEA, SA3 5JX, WALES, UK................. Visit:- www.wonderfulwoodenreasons.co.uk............................ ......or.................www.quietworld.co.uk............... ............All good things.
