Lymbyc Systym – Carved by Glaciers (Reissue) — Magic Bullet, 2009

Magic Bullet reissued Lymbyc Systym's first release, but with two bonus remixed tracks. The five original songs sound as good as ever. Lymbyc Systym's brand of ethereal electronic noodling has grown since Carved by Glaciers, becoming even more cohesive and brilliantly layered. However, to be able to revisit the band's earliest material is a treat. It's good to learn about the history of a band through its releases. Prior to Magic Bullet's repressing, Carved by Glaciers was a sold-out commodity. The Bell brothers' friends Her Space Holiday and American Analog Set have remixed "1000 Arms" and "Selamat Pagi" respectively. The reissue will help you to complete your Lymbyc Systym catalog, and to appreciate the band's first output from 2005.

Love Your Abuser Remixed
Mush (2008)

Love Your Abuser was released in January 2007, just over a year ago.
