The Strange Attractor Shoppe exists to make available high quality wares from ourselves, our friends and our allies. If you have something you think might find an appreciative audience through SAS, please do get in touch.

And please check back regularly – our stock is highly susceptible to change!

LATEST ADDITIONS

Here comes Urthona, all heather, moss and grimpen mire, to drag you out onto the moor and clobber you with screeching guitars and some seriously heathen attitude. Unashamedly raw and processed only to the point of reaching out to turn up the volume dial, this is the sound of one man, his Les Paul guitars and enough fuzz to warm a naked ox during a wet night on Bald Mountain.

Urthona lurks deep within Neil Mortimer, editor of Third Stone and Time and Mind, author of two fine tomes on the original modern antiquarian, William Stukeley, and now moor-dwelling guitar hero. So it’s no surprise to find that there’s much more than just hairy-handed amp-bashing at work on these three, lengthy tracks.

Far Out: 101 Strange Tales from
Science's Outer Edge

by Mark Pilkington

From the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis to Zero Point Energy via the Hieronymous Device and Erototoxin, Mark distills complex, often mind-boggling ideas and stories into concise, pithy and entertaining tinctures that can safley be taken at up to six times a day. We recommend use in the toilet, at bedtime or on short journeys (though not while cycling or operating heavy machinery).

Archaeologies of Consciousness
Essays in Experimental Prehistory

by Gyrus

Seven thought-provoking essays on consciousness, shamanism, rock art and the prehistoric imagination with a foreward by Julian Cope.

Gyrus is just one gifted and highly independent Western truth seeker, but I believe him to be one of the very best. For his writing alone, Gyrus is worthy of our trust. But for his superb and enduring research, he is worthy of our deep gratitude. Julian Cope

Gyrus’ works of alternative archaeology have long been known and admired among Earth Mystics, Psychonauts and Pagans. I look forward, with this publication, to seeing this influence extend to a wider readership. It offers the opportunity to engage in a sustained way with a most original and penetrating scholarly mind.

Strange Attractor vs Disinformation:

Circuit Blasting CD EP

27 minutes of lo-fi, high-voltage thrills!

"A bit of a departure for the ADAADAT label, this collaborative project between sound art project Disinformation and the editor of the Strange Attractor journal, Mark Pilkington sounds akin to the kind of uncompromising experimental laptop noise you might find on a Mego release... At times the results are outbreaks of unleashed digital noise, but more often than not there’s a surprisingly sophisticated and intriguing outcome that preserves evidence of the toy keyboard’s recognisable sonic characteristics. Excellent." Bookmart

'...the forthcoming end of the world will be hastened by the construction of underground railways burrowing into infernal regions and thereby disturbing the Devil.' Rev Dr John Cumming, 1860.

"This reissue of a lost classic of British electronics is a psychogeographic investigation into a world of abandoned Underground stations, Quatermass, seventeenth century secret societies and the footsore reveries of a modern Flâneur. Featuring collaboration with the late Jhon Balance of Coil, Adrian Utley of Portishead, Barry 7 of Add N to X and a variety other talented artists. The booklet features liner notes by the author Lawrence Norfolk (Lemprière's Dictionary, The Pope's Rhinoceros) and incredible centre spread artwork by Julian House."
