Ultima Thule are ready for your orders

Despite lockdown in the UK, which means all British record shops are closed until further notice, the British government are urging people to support businesses by using mail-order. And what better a place to satiate your eclectic tastes than Ultima Thule, the speediest mail-order around with a catalogue of great music in the realms of prog, experimental, electronic and unclassifiable.
We have lots of CDs in stock and a small range of vinyl, including imports from all over the place and lots of exclusive releases of our own, Audion magazine, videos, etc.

Check-out our stocks here...

Alan Freeman solos on Bandcamp

Many thanks to the few that have bought some of my own releases via Bandcamp. Did you know that you can now get my Auricle Archive collection "Xylem" as a "name your price" download? That means: free if you want, but donations are certainly welcome! Look here! alanfreeman.bandcamp.com/album/xylem-auricle-archive

Remember to check-out my more recent electroacoustic releases. These I'm especially proud of.

Also, check-out other bands I'm involved in via the Auricle Music Bandcamp Index auriclemusic.bandcamp.com/album/bandcamp-index

Keep enjoying the music - Alan Freeman

https://www.youtube.com/user/xylemexperimental

After the original channel became locked due to uploading more videos than was permitted at the time (and a copyright dispute which has since been cleared) I started up the xylemexperimental channel, which has been my main upload channel since. Both channels are now linked.

Here's the introductory video on the xylemexperimental channel...
