Machina Mundi: Full length Gydja release, Machina Mundi, is out now on the Gears of Sand label. It features four tracks and a running time of 50 minutes. The label desribes Machina Mundi as a listening experience that "brings to mind vast images of an entire floating planet-- translucent like a post-industrial snowglobe--revealing intricate machines, plant life, and weather systems moving apart, together, in a strange otherworldly ballet." Copies are available from CD Baby .
Umbilicus Maris: Copies of Gydja's release Umbilicus Maris on the very collectable Mystery Sea label have sold out from the label. A few copies may still be available from distributors. It features five tracks and a running time of 49'30, with beautiful artwork by Chalkdc.
Interbreeding IX : Kuru: Six exclusive Gydja tracks feature on the ninth installment of the Interbreeding compilation series from BLC Productions: Interbreeding IX : Kuru. Numbered Kuru001 through to Kuru006, the tracks are also complimented with Abby's artwork.

Please do not send an Add Request if you already have several thousand friends for no conceivable reason; your only contact with women is the porn stars you've added as your top friends; your style of music requires that your band appear in photos in a single line wearing black t-shirts with indicipherable white logos on them; or you just seem an odd fit for Gydja's themes and music. If it seems like you come under any of these categories and would still like to be added as a friend, perhaps an explanatory private message to coincide with the Add Request is in order.
