Reissued online in 2009 with a slightly different tracklisting:

(‘Vol.11′ was a scene on a CD – Sotoness’ first proper release and a showcase for everyone involved…)

Original blurb:

Featuring the best bands in the south there’s something for everyone as post-rock jostles with glitchcore, drum’n’bass rubs shoulders with indie. Uniting the music and the musicians is a belief that good music is better put together and released by artists who care about it, about their fans, and each other. Every single copy is individually put together and numbered by hand, by one or more of the bands making this a truly historic release.

But don’t take our word for it – read the review in Kruger Magazine

Ten Friends LP

'Ten Friends' demoSelf-released LP (September 2006); ten songs about ten-friends.

Break up with a girlfriend and imprisoned in the house? Write some songs…

Recorded in two days in a bathroom. The names of the ‘ten friends’ were never revealed, though most of them guessed since. Three of these songs went on to become mainstays of the Mega Hairy Men / Power set (‘r’ / ‘No Sex’; ‘c’ / ‘Princesses’; ‘mE’ / ‘Number Nine’).

I ran off about 20 of these on a CDR machine. Each disc was spray-painted a different colour and numbered. None are left that I know of.

Also, I’ve since been told that spray-painting CDs is a REALLY bad idea; the paint tends to melt after repeated plays and screw up any disc drive unlucky enough to house them at the time…
