Various Artists - Can Buy Me Love 2

HEMP009 - originally physically released in 2006 by Digital Vomit as DVR002

The second volume in the Digital Vomit collective's signature Can Buy Me Love series, the first to be produced entirely under DigiVom's own steam and banner, and a double CD to boot! It was a long, painful process, and quite the learning experience, but the end result was what Rough Trade called "a cracking comp[ilation]." Who are we to argue?

Various Artists - ...Can Buy Me Love

HEMP005 - originally physically released 2005 on Couch Fort as PILLOW02

The birth cry of the Digital Vomit collective, and the second of two 2005 CD releases by the now-defunct Couch Fort Records. Originally proposed by Solypsis on the V/Vm Test Records forum, each artist chipped in money for production costs, receiving space on the CD and some copies.

Limited copies of this piece of cyberpunk history remain available; please see the "Album Notes." (Also available through V/Vm Test.)

Solypsis - Aborted/Remission

HEMP040 - previously unreleased

This double-virtual-CD has a deliberate yin-yang feel to it, in fact each virtual CD has its own title (see "Album Notes" for details). In late 2007, Solypsis decided to step back from several years of feverish productivity and reinvent himself, but not before he and Junkshop Coyote put together this collection of material from the cutting-room floor. From the sublime to the ridiculous to the punishing, whatever you like about Solypsis, you'll find it here.

This album was intended for release last fall, but was delayed due to Hallo Excentrico! 1.0's problems with its web space provider. This completes Solypsis' back catalog on HE! Reissues of other artists' back catalogs will be uploaded in order of original artist appearance on the label.

Solypsis - Hell Precursor

HEMP038 - originally released 2007

This time, Solypsis turns away from walls of noise and produces an album of minimalist rhythms and textures reminiscent of Richie Hawtin's work as Plastikman. Deep, dark caverns of sounds and the spaces between them lie ahead....

Solypsis - OCD

HEMP035 - originally released 2006

This double-virtual-CD follow-up to the well-received One Week Without the Internet is a sprawling exploration of rhythm, noise and uneasy atmospheres; a worthy expansion on its predecessor.
