To regard VEIN as purely a remix album is to underestimate its intentions and ambitions.
VEIN has material from 2005's LOVE fractured and re-imagined by some of today's most notable
artists.
It is an immersive, powerful and sometimes harrowing cinematic journey through sound and emotion.
Includes contributions by Fennesz, Mike Patton, Jay Wasco, Tujiko
Nuriko, Jason Forrest, TRZTN (of Services), Tweaker, Matmos, Tom
Recchion and J.G. Thirlwell.

Steroid Maximus is the instrumental guise of the inscrutable J.G.Thirlwell (aka FOETUS)
This highly acclaimed long awaited album contains the cinematic stylings of JGT encompassing twisted neo-blaxploitation, spy/crime noir-intrigue, haunting
soundscapes, sinuous carnal funk, exotic soundtracks of the unimagined and ethnic music from civilisations yet to be invented!

The second Manorexia album, The Radiolarian Ooze, takes a distinct right turn on the incredible journey begun with the first Manorexia album.
Sometimes darkly disorienting, sometimes rhythmic and occasionally almost treading on Steroid Maximus territory, the first thirty-five minutes (eight pieces), gradually build to a frenzy, through soundscapes, alien ethnicities, passing the eavesdropped sounds of sinister goings-on, on into haunting lullabies culminating in a epic eleven-minute-plus chase-opera...
Then, the second part of the album, the final four pieces, are beautiful and twisted and enveloping, sometimes best listened to in a semi-somnambulistic state; by the end, the listener may find themselves in paroxysms of ecstasy at the beauty and sadness and strangeness and other-wordly quality of this cycle.
This release is not available in stores or anywhere else online; it is only available from this website and is a limited edition.

Thirlwell has embarked on yet another side-project, this one christened Manorexia. The first release, an all-instrumental monsterpiece suite titled Volvox Turbo, was released in June 2001, available online exclusively via this website. Tapping into his instincts, Thirlwell completed the instrumental album within six weeks - a record time for him. An intensely psychological symphony, the album orbits several multiethnic soundscapes - from Moroccan to Martian - and manipulates those studio mistakes others try to avoid into 14 strangely compelling merging movements. It's been called "a noir narrative filled with anticipation, foreboding and icy climaxes." It resonates more with deep listening. It’s a killer acid trip without the LSD.
