...according to our Phil on 31 October 2007.

If you fancy summat new check out the Dead Pilot CDR which come is a nice handmade package all wrapped up in string like what fancy people do when they give you fancy presents. I don't know anyone like that. I'd be lucky if I got a piece of string full stop.... (tiny violins...) Anyway the Dead001 Compilation is an exploration into post rock/ avant rock and noisy rock.... ie lots of stinking rock. Cool...I like to kick it back sometimes.  The 9 tracks duck and dive between the differing styles but it gels together nicely and if you fancy something unheard of and you want to support grass roots gear this is your momma.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Dead Pilot Records is an independent (DIY) record label run out of a bedroom in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire UK producing short run CD-R releases in various experimental/rock/ambient & electronic genres; sticking to strict DIY ethics, making hand/home made releases (we never use jewel cases) priced as cheaply as possible.

Dead Pilot was born in March 2007, out of a love for alternative and experimental music and the new DIY ethics that were sweeping across many artists and labels. It is run by Daniel Gregory, with help from family&friends and all the artists involved.

    DEAD001 is the debut release for Dead Pilot Records, featuring many fantastic up and coming artists. The CD begins with opener “Across Wind-Swept Expanses”, by brother & sister duo Wires, who present a haunting yet hopeful guitar and violin collage. Message to Bears provides the brilliant “Unfold” taken from his now sold out EP1 (expect a re-release soon), followed by the Indie-Math-Pop of Instruments who have recently played with the likes of Cats&Cats&Cats and Tired Irie. Local group 1877 follow on with “Conversation in a Cheap Room”; a mass of post punk energy and post rock climaxes. Ekca Liena provides you with the soundtrack to late nights with the fantastic “Fire Emerging from Mist”; an epic ambient track that grows from pads and guitar strums to what can only be described as a huge wall of fuzz. The Soul’s Release, who recently released a very limited hand made edition of his first EP, provides us the internet fav “Dripping Whispers”; a calm and collected ambient guitar piece which recalls the likes of Sigur Ros and Eluvium. Men as Trees up the stakes and take us from laid back indie rock to heart wrenching screamo; with a build up and climax that will stick with you for months., with their track “Scenes from a Voyage”, taken from their debut album release digitally from via their own label Diajoube records. HateHeart take us one step further with tech metal riffs, stomping drums and distressed vocals with the short but sweet “Dust in the Eye” and When The Tigers Broke Free (now known as LUNGS) bring us right back round to the start again with the bleak “Farewell…! Farewell…!”.
