the nostromo monthly newsletter
18th Century Science Fiction

This new four-song cassette is now available for your consumption and dissection. It should be available at the music store where you found this, and will soon be available at many other fine locations. The word is spreading now, but it is difficult. Resources are, as always, at a bare minimum, but you are doing your part to support the movement just by posessing this enlightening newsletter. Make phone calls. Demand that your preferred music store contact us in order to brief them in the way of knowledge, and stock the material that will encourage others to start thinking.

Together we can forge a new future - NOW.

Observe the artwork as it appears on the cover. Now, close one eye and imagine yourself witnessing the scene in person. Next - listen to the cassette and let yourself waft on the self-asserting waves of Kit-Bashing the Cosmos. Feel faith welling within you as you are carried on silken moth-wings to a place beyond thought or existence. You, too, can build a world... and in less time than you would think. Maybe one other is a short tale of love lost, and a lack of care about rediscovery. It's a path no-one should walk; for it is always alone that they travel.

 
Now, flip the tape, but pause for a moment to think about the free sticker that we have included. "Why did the band do this?", you think to yourself. "Is is for my personal satisfaction, or is it merely some sort of clever gimmick to get people to buy the tape? Will I ever have the answer to this and other questions?" No, friend. These things are as mysterious to us as they are to you. Try not to think about it too much.Instead, listen to Rosabelle! believe., a tale of a man who loved so much he spoke from the afterlife. A man who breached the nether to touch his lover - to reassure her that there is a place beyond this world. Finally, lose yourself in Psyche Absorber a nail driven through ego, flesh, and what you think is useless spiritualism. You will think differently. Listen. Submit. The ranks are growing.

Don't forget the first single: Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack.
The word is spreading, friend. Over 250 copies of this single are now in the hands of your fellow compatriots - waiting for this world to destroy itself so that we can build a gleaming new one in it's place. Screed called it "art punk" (what the fuck is art punk?!?) but we think of it as the "original cry for salvation and wisdom". The B-side, Indifference Engine v3.1 is a blueprint for dismantling apathy in your world. Stick to these plans and you won't go wrong. You will not stray.

 

watch the skies.
Nothing happens in this town, and when it does, it all happens at once. Pay attention, and you will observe and discover things. On the horizon is "Steven's Face that Scares Jessica Weasel", the next single which will only be available on cassette. (Let vinyl die.) This single will be available in limited supplies in early May, but will be seen in greater quantities by the end of that same month as our resources grow. Hassle your favorite record store for it. Also, keep one eye wide wide open for the new Nostromo patches which will soon be seen on the arms, legs, coats, and pants of the faithful. They will be sold at shows for a mere $1.00 and will cost no more than $2.00 elsewhere. Ask for them. Demand them. The machine moves forward. In June, watch for the "Battleship Yamato E.P." on lo-fi recordings. The format (as usual) will be cassette, the songs will number at least 5. It will include earlier calls-to-arms (in a more raw, native form) plus 2 or 3 all new "anthems", or "sagas" as we like to call them. We hope these songs will be the rallying cry of the masses... call it the start of the supression fire which will lead to the inevitable assault of a full length recording late this year. It is just a matter of amassing the forces to do the job correctly. Prepare yourself now and you won't miss the launching of a single salvo.

Revolution? Heh. We speak not of revolution.

We merely sit passively waiting to rebuild the world that is constantly being torn down around us. So what do we speak of? You, too, can find out by sending for the lyric sheets which decrypt the mysterious messages lurking within our hymns and sagas. We will also send you the most recent copy of "Anomalous Emissions", updating you on the strength of our non-violent non-movement. Contact us - and you will be (in a very small way) preserved for all eternity. We can offer little more than this to you.
