It's raining Rigning reviews on them internets... residentadvisor.net: 4.5/5! Check a selection of reviews here.

Yagya - Rigning is out!

If you haven't ordered the CD or 2LP yet, please pay a visit to the SO webshop by using the links below. We've also launched the Rigning microsite with soundbites and additional release info.

• Go here to purchase the CD
• The 2LP can be purchased here

MP3s and FLACs of the album are available in our download store E-ORBS.

Lastly, we had to update our 5 year old CD-price. 'De Baars' (the guy that is DUI'ing on the MJ1 cover) told us to do so. What can you do about it? The prices of our previous releases remain unaffected. The 2LP costs € 13,99.

Let's first start with the bad: there will be no Myam James 2 this year. We realize we've raised expectations and put schedules in front of your eyes that were all wrong; please accept our apologies. The reasons for sending those crippled horses out to race are legion. There is scheduling, money, life, momentum and more. These inevitable influences make our schemes volatile, but our output realistically more personal. We think. We are looking at the extremely early 2009 for the new MJ2 releasedate. In the meanwhile you can enjoy the great new Yagya. On both vinyl and cd this will be a gem that will vaporize all the sorrow.

On another positive note: for those longing for Myam James 2 previews or just the most recent liveset Kettel has done, in excellent mp3, here it is Kettel live in Rotterdam 11-15-2008.

Dear followers, we're sorry, but have no choice to announce that both the Yagya and Kettel releases will be delayed by approx. one month.
We are putting a lot of our (ever-so-limited) time and resources into these releases, and feel our listeners don't deserve anything less than the best we can do. As we are not a fullblown and fulltime releasemachine, these things can happen (and do happen, and happened before, and unfortunately will happen again). The only thing we can hope for is that you bear with us, and keep supporting us, so that the word 'delay' will someday dissapear from our menu!
When ready for production, this news section right here will display everything you need to know about these two upcoming releases. (Have we mentioned that they're both really good?)

News from the front. After the critically acclaimed Rhythm of Snow (2002, Force Inc) and Will I Dream During The Process (2006, Sending Orbs) albums, Icelandic producer Yagya (Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson) brings his third full-length album “Rigning”. Brilliant Dub techno & ambient on both CD and vinyl formats (2x12”). We welcome Rutger Prins to our art team. Expected release date of SO 011 is mid/end September.

Just back from his USA tour, Kettel will deliver the highly anticipated sequel of the Myam James series (part 1: SO 009, Kettel – Myam James part 1 – April 2008). We are expecting surprising mood-swings, which will be in contrast with the first MJ part. Of course, you’ll find your daily recommended amount of acid... with Maximal Electronic Music warranty and Jeroen Advocaat art! Myam James 2 (SO 010) expected release date is mid/end October.

E-Orbs, the Sending Orbs download shop is online now! You're invited to purchase lossless FLACs or highqual MP3s from (nearly; more to come) all of our releases. If you're hesitating between iTunes or E-orbs, the fact that your money will flow directly into the peanutbutter-jelly-sandwiches of the artists and label may convince you do choose the latter.

E-Orbs is a young organism, built up from scratch by ourselves so we're eager to take notice of your experiences or problems you encounter using the e-shop. You're welcome to help us out, depositing your experience in the Constructive Comments Box @ E-Orbs (contact). Read more here.

Finally, we got him! Myam James 1 is reality now. See the first pictures of the first SO digipak.

Check your mailbox the coming days. And in case you haven't ordered the CD yet, do it here. We almost forgot... digital buyers, check the site/news, because our very own download store will launch in a few days. Download our classics and new stuff like MJ1 as high quality MP3s and FLACs.

Our latest Orb will be ready to be shipped off to you by April the 15th. This is Kettel's incredible Myam James Part 1 and you can already pre-order now! Track previews? a story? or just a mouse click????
