25th Dec. 2015: With
Hypergraphia being the label's final release, it's means that unless another record company takes the back catalogue on then at some point the releases will dry up as they're no longer made. No s##t, Sherlock, you might say or statin' the bledin' obvious ... whatever, but the outcome will be that the prices for titles that do appear on secondary markets will go up and up.
So it might be best to buy any titles now before prices go up.
April 2017: I've spent the last month or so sourcing some of these releases.

Whilst SamadhiSound turned out to be predominantly a vehicle for Sylvian releasing his own work and collaborations, there were other releases,,,
One of the beauties for me was the way the designers for the Samadhisound website would take a release from one of these artists and incorporate the primal colours into the design. On a laptop, and to a lesser extent on an iPad, they were the most beautiful pages I've seen since someone at Virgin designed promotional pages for Sylvian's Dead Bees on a Cake way back when. They were never made for mobiles so you couldn't really appreciate their full, astonishing beauty on those metal little things.
Of the album covers (and web design), the Sweet Billy Pilgrim design was their best, most eye catching, by a country mile.
Anyone who loves Moby Dick and Gregory Peck would love Twice Born Men as well as the promotional video.
