11.08.09 - Home Normal label special

We're going to spend the evening listening to a collection of work from a single label - Home Normal, a plucky label based between London and Tokyo whose releases might be described as hybrid electronic/acoustic minimal and organic, but that wouldn't come near giving you an idea of what's there. So perhaps listening to some new releases, a little hard-to-find stuff, a generous overview, and a sneak peek at a very interesting upcoming project will manage where words fail.
