List A: material which is in the process of being mastered/manufactured etc, and which is due to be released soon(ish).

[nothing to report...]

List B: material which is recorded, mastered and ready to go, and which we hope to release (or hope another label will release) some time in the future. But it might be a long wait!
[If you're reading this list on behalf of an adventurous record label, please e-mail if you might be interested in putting something out....]

KARL TOROK/SIMON H. FELL - Ineluctable Modality
an audio-visual work on DVD; visuals by Karl Torok (Ineluctable Modality), with music by Simon Fell (Composition No. 63: Ulysses)

SIMON H. FELL - The Exploding Flask Of Muesli
A compilation of electroacoustic and electronic pieces from the period 1994-2002

BADLAND - Six High Windows
Badland's 2005 Liverpool gig - an exceptional performance in an idiosyncratic church acoustic

IST - Berlin
Ist's performance from the 2001 Total Music Meeting - another crucial document of this key group....

amere3 - Aplicate amere 3 (Phil Hargreaves, Simon Fell, Rob Dainton) have reformed and recorded their 2nd album at the end of 2009. An excellent recording, with a new take on the power structures of the sax/bass/drums trio which is now ready for release... but by whom?

List C: material which is in preparation/mixing/mastering as we speak, and may become available in the longer term. Well, we hope so...

The whole of Derek Bailey & Simon Fell's 2001 concert at Sound 323 is currently being mastered for release on Confront. Sections from the concert originally appeared on a 3in CD in 2002, but this will be the first release for the full gig. Coming soon, we hope

The Offshoot a free improvising quintet with Tim Berne, Gail Brand, Joe Morris, Simon Fell & Steve Noble. There's a 2007 tape from London's Vortex which Simon's been (sporadically) working on for two years now

The Kite Continuum is a new Paris-based trio featuring Richard Comte on guitar, Makoto Sato on drums and Simon Fell on bass. Their first recording, featuring duos and trios, is in the process of being mixed.
