Connexion Bizarre interviews Justin Headrick of elseproduct on the past, present, and future of his label.

1 – How and why did you come about starting else.product?

Before the label, there was the first Coil tribute. The Coil email list had been talking for a long while about all the musicians on the list putting their Coil inspired, remixed or cover tunes together in a collection. Eventually tracks were gathered and artists voted on the title for the collection. I suggested “Loved Stolen and Deconstructed” and that stuck. The collection was released on CDR in an edition of 300 in 1999.

The following year the Coil list started talking about wanting to do it again and as things progressed we all tried to figure out who would finance the project and gather all the tracks. So I decided to step up to the plate and put my money into something unlikely to recoup expenses….and that’s where “At The Threshold Moment” came from.

Local Knoxville, TN entertainment guide, Metro Pulse, reviews November elseproduct CD release of "Streetwalker" by Surface Hoar.

Surface Hoar
Streetwalker (Elseproduct)

Surface Hoar is the audio project of Matthew Amundsen, and Streetwalker is a six-track, half-hour collage created entirely from sounds recorded during a ghost tour through the streets of Charleston, S.C. As you might expect, the album has a dark tone. Can’t say for sure whether any of the sounds within actually emanated from the spirit world, but the voices, footsteps, and other less obvious samples have been distorted and tweaked to create an eerie soundscape.  Read more: www.metropulse.com/news/2010/dec/01/local-cd-review-surface-hoar-streetwalker/.

Limited copies of the album still available at www.elseproduct.com/catalog.html
