Aural Innovations

Aural Innovations is a mail order service, series of radio shows, and web zine that focuses on Space Rock, Psychedelia, Stoner Rock, and space/psych oriented Electronic music. It all began in January 1998 as an 8 page homemade printed zine, which lasted for two years and nine issues. However, the massive cost of printing and mailing the mag, combin... ed with the realization that many more people were visiting our web site than subscribing, forced us to go completely web-based and make Aural Innovations a web publication. MAIL ORDER: Aural Innovations stocks CD's & LP's from bands and labels around the globe. We stock lots of imports that have little or no distribution in the USA. Though we have done mail order for years, in May 2005 Aural Innovations became a genuine business when we opened our new e-commerce store and considerably increased our stock. NOTE: Aural Innovations supports the efforts of bands who make product to order in their home studios, as opposed to investing in the manufacture of large runs of CD's. Therefore many of the titles in our catalog are listed as CDR. All of these band manufactured CDR's are professionally produced and packaged and in many cases nearly indistingishable from a "regular" manufactured CD. Aural Innovations guarantees the quality of these and everything else in our catalog. RADIO SHOWS: Aural Innovations produces several radio shows that can be accessed 24 hours a day in RealAudio format for online streaming or download. We have shows dedicated to Space Rock and Psychedelia, Stoner Rock, Electronic Music, Avant-Garde/Free-Improv, and mixed genre shows, all featuring the best in independent and indie label artists. WEB ZINE: Aural Innovations maintains an enormous repository of reviews, interviews and articles that have appeared in our regularly published issues.Read More
