SPONSORED BY: RealTraps Portable Vocal Booth - 10% off!
RealTraps is pleased to announce their newest product, the Portable Vocal Booth. This clever device mounts on any microphone
stand to create a highly controlled environment for recording vocals and spoken narration in acoustically hostile spaces.
Unlike other products that are too small to be effective in noisy or live sounding environments, or that color the sound,
the RealTraps Portable Vocal Booth is much larger comprising a pair of 2 by 2 foot absorbing panels in a fully adjustable
V shape. The integrated base attaches easily and securely to any inexpensive microphone boom stand. The RealTraps Portable
Vocal Booth can also be placed directly on a table or other flat surface.
Find more information and get the Portable Vocal Booth (or any other RealTraps product) for 10% off! Just use this coupon
code when you place your order: DF1031. * RealTraps takes orders over the phone, so be sure to tell them the coupon code when
you call. See the phone number at the bottom of their web page...

Here's what's been going on lately with the excellent VVVU label in Fredericton:
- Syd Barrett's Privateers (from Sydney, NS) finally recorded enough material for an EP. Released earlier this year on
VVVU Music, it was a radio-only release (not for sale) because the band donated the EP to Sound Aid's online mission to help
cure world hunger through music. You can hear the songs on the Sound Aid site:
- Vulva Underground, a trio of lesbian feminists from the Annapolis Valley, released their 2nd EP on VVVU Music just two
weeks ago. The girls have a very refreshing sense of humour (see a pic of the album cover on our site http://www.vvvu.ca/index.html
). You can hear the song "Pussolini" from the new EP as well as two tracks from their previous EP on their CBC R3
site:
We've updated our site with the new additions to our catalogue. Two new

Records, Italy) $14 CAD / $13.30 USD
One disc each from the Canadian soundscapers, featuring deep glacier-wash

disquieting tales. Limited to 100 copies.
DAVID WELLS- Efegin 3" CDR (SiRiDisc, UK) $10 CAD / $9.50 USD
Based on the master tapes of The Infant Cycle's track "Ephedrin Bird
Samba", David Wells coaxes out the drones buried deep in that track into a
