Hello to all,

3. Upcoming live shows + exhibits
4. Upcoming CDs

1. 
Excellent news: we are expanding the shop to gather the beautiful releases
from some friendly labels, so that you, when you visit us, can take the
oportunity to find interesting works by people who collaborate with us
somehow, and share our pleasure in sound and music. We have new stuff from
Squintfucker press, Erewhon, 18k, Dekorder, or artists such as jgzrinich and
Marc Behrens. And specially, the new Cronica releases, a cd and dvd (sold
separetely) featuring dozens of great artists.

And if you want to get some not so recent cds of Sirr catalogue, this is
your chance. We have a great late summer special prices that, with your
help, will allow us not just to clean the shelves, but also to prepare new
releases. Take a look: we're offering 6 cds for 50 euros or jrzinich
"insular regions" with two more at your choice for only 30 euros.

New reviews regarding our recently published cds Insular Regions by
jgrzinich and "untitled songs - 49 years after gesang der jünglinge" have
been posted in the reviews page:
http://www.sirr-ecords.com/reviews.html.

About jgrzinich's "insular regions", Steve Roden dix it: "jgrzinich's
insular regions is one of the most beautiful drone/field recording
combinations I've heard in a long time".

And TJ Norris at Igloo Magazine finishes with this delicious words: "It's a
long trek through this vast forest, and I am not sure if granny would be
awaiting anyone with pie of any kind." About "untitled songs,  49 Years from
'Gesang der Jünglinge' (2005-1956), Dan Warburton wrote a great review for
ParisAtlantic Magazine that is not to be missed. Check it out... And If you
