  • Night Anthelion [Unissued Rare 4x3" CD-R Bag Set / Archive Copy]
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    More artifacts unearthed while unpacking and moving into the new studio! I've found a box full of out of print and unique 3" CD-R releases from the earlier years of the label. These are interesting finds - two "bag sets" containing unique prototype versions of an abandoned 4x3" CD-R edition of Night Anthelion. As I recall, these were drafted at the request of some unique/exclusive Milieu Music items to be carried in Japanese record stores that stocked the label at the time. Ultimately, I cannot remember why the concept was abandoned - possibly because of the uneven expense involved in putting a single album on four 3" discs? The details are lost to time now. Each "bag set" features different art inserts - one contains front/back paperstock inserts depicting yellow floral designs on a lighter blue background, the other contains a darker blue floral design (similiar to edition 2 of Red Anthelion, which might date this set) backed with green cardstock inserts. All of the 3" CD-Rs are white with the Milieu Music PO box stamp and hand-labeled lettering (A, B, C, D) and cat# info. Totally unique stuff that is guaranteed to never be seen again!

    **NOTE: The items listed in the back catalog sale have all been found while unpacking. Some of them have been packed away for years in storage, and may have small imperfections. These are being sold as is, as the artifacts they are, to raise money for implementing the new studio. No refunds will be given.

  • Out Of Print CD-R [Spiral Texture Paper / Archive Copy]
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    After unpacking from the move a year ago, I've managed to surprisingly find more copies of things tucked into boxes they didn't belong in. In such a box, I found ONE copy of the first and only edition of the Night Anthelion album. This copy comes packaged in a clear plastic sleeve with unique-to-each-copy patterned/textured origami paper inserts (this one is the beautiful blue spiral design you see in the photo) and a white CD-R with the Milieu Music PO Box stamp on the face. As stated with the single copy of White Anthelion, these were scarce when they were released, so I doubt there will be any further copies found beyond this!

about

Night Anthelion was released alongside White Anthelion in 2008, and contains a similarly presented but altogether different approach. While White Anthelion hung in the air with sub bass languor, Night Anthelion is earthy and filled with texture and electricity. Using a field recording of a deep and sleepy night in the Carolinian countryside as a backdrop, the album's four pieces coalesce in their humid fuzz and leave soft trails of dust behind their subtle shifts and movements. Lightweight night listening at its best, well suited to an open window and a cozy bed with an old paperback and the incense of nature in the air.
