Fortunately, like children facing a policeman, robber, or puppet show judge, we keep bursting out laughing. It's an old story, and with it, everything begins again and again: a child to kill, our delivery to go through.

Isolde - You're Alone in Red Riding Picture (PP002)



The 1st 'available' release by Isolde (Andrew Chalk and Robin Barnes), after a metal cassette released in an edition of 30. A 3" CD released in an edition of 500 signed copies, in handmade packaging. Full length album by Isolde released early 2006. A stolen glance at the day setting down it's golden period, and as brief for this very reason. Are you alone in the world? No, you're alone in red riding picture.

Isolde - Untitled Metal Cassette (PP003)

Edition of 30 signed and numbered copies in a handmade slipcase. Sadly, it is unfortunate that these instructions should be read at all, as their necessity deputes their very reason. Originally of course, they would have been read to us. Slow are we indeed, and what arrives fits the remit of what we have never once attempted to leave behind in the past. Ever gradually we have been walking away from this for as great a number of years as our life's suffice.
