Closed roads are open again, absolute zero has been replaced with zero, and the weather has returned to simply gloriously cold and snowy.  We’re pleased to finally be able to announce that all Gas 0095 t-shirts have now shipped. Thank you to everyone for your patience with our weather troubles!

Just a side-note that although shipping costs have [...]

We’re a little snowed in at the moment so I’m afraid that all t-shirts will be delayed for a few days. So many apologies for the extra delay; we’ll get them shipped as soon as we are able.
Here are some photographs I took this morning at Microscopics HQ of the crystal invaders (actual size). Reminds me of our [...]

We’ve teamed up with our printers for a special offer of more colours, styles, and sizes for our Gas t-shirts. From XS to 2XL, adult, long sleeve, ladies fitted and kids, but only for pre-orders taken now. After this offer has finished we will only have a reduced selection again. Every order includes a free [...]

For a limited time, all orders of CDs, Flac and t-shirts come with a free Moog Modular card model (*doesn’t include MP3s).

Front and Back.
Exactly the same quality as our Minimoog model, they are printed at 600dpi on 350gsm matt-laminated card, die cut and hand scored. 1:8 scale.

Thanks to everyone who bought one of our t-shirts, the Gas 0095 shirts have now all sold out!

We still have some of the High Skies – Sounds of Earth t-shirts left, although they’re going fast too, the small and XL have now sold out also.

All best quality 205gsm heavyweight Fruit of the Loom (Super Premium) [...]

Paul Nasca is the creator of  superstar timestretch tool, PaulStretch, which stretches audio up to a billion times its original length.
The Internet was abuzz last week with a PaulStretch version of pop puppet Justin Bieber’s song, ‘U Smile’. Musician Nick Pittsinger cheekily stretched the original 3:21 song into a 35 minute ambient monster, which has now had 1.8 million plays [...]

Here is our track Gas – Microscopic stretched by 600% into 38 minutes of ambience. After the fun last week on Gawker, stretching pop tracks into ambient monsters, we thought we’d join in.
The original before editing is just over one hour long. The world’s longest single is 43 minutes, so perhaps we should have uploaded the original.
On the [...]

An appropriate post for the 24th July (today), is the High Skies remix of ‘Charles Webster – The Gift of Freedom‘ from his ‘Born on the 24th of July‘ album. Actually it was on the remix album ‘Remixed on the 24th of July‘ as an album of remixes from the album.
Uncoincidentally, today is Charles’ birthday.

I [...]

Special offer: All orders of our Gas 0095 album on CD or Flac24 come with a free Minimoog model (Microscopics micro model Minimoog?). The 1/8th scale model is painstakingly modelled on the classic Minimoog analogue synthesizer (204D model), probably the best known and most loved of all synthesizers. It’s printed at 600dpi on 350gsm matt-laminated card, die cut [...]
