A digital box set of my Cantus Orbis mixes from the last decade are now available for download. Four albums that focus on drone heavy/repetitive music written between the 5th / 15th centuries. I don’t own any of this so encourage you to take the ‘free’ option: iamplinth.bandcamp.com/album/cantus...

Pick ups this week, tucked in the back of an otherwise hum-drum prog collection. Seasonally appropriate!

This will be a stunner.
I recently delivered my sleevenotes for this boxset. I can't wait for people to hear it. 7 CDs & a DVD filled with the most incredible music, much of it previously unreleased. Dick Gaughan is, of course, one of the greats. This set makes that fact blindingly & brilliantly clear, time and time again

Most of my life was laser-focused around Hastings for one reason or another. Get togethers, break-ups, chips with my folks on the seafront. The old town is a place forever changing but always the same. Roberts felt like it might be the big brass pin holding it all together - I’ll be sad to see it go

Picked up a little Victorian oil today from Scottish landscape painter and ornithologist Edward Hargitt. Two kids teasing their playmate who is stuck in finishing lunch. I love how there’s an unspoken story behind it, like a page Tom’s Midnight Garden, The Moondial or a long lost children’s story.

Boot sale score from many years ago, full of holes and I’m breathing in - not sure I’ve ever seen another though.

Any shares of this for algorithmical purposes much-appreciated. I'd love to get these books out of my spare room & into the world before my new novel comes out. I'll sign them all & I really am happy to let people choose what they pay.

All I have left of the 1000s of books I bought from my ex-publisher's warehouse are about 200 copies of Ring The Hill. I'd *love* to get them to good homes this week.
If you're in the UK & you'd like one, for the price of your choice (any price!), pls email me your address at hello@tom-cox.com.
