Let's Transform Nasa Machine

From the bonus CD "Experiments". TADGOS' live shows often contained massive amounts of improvisation and off the cuff performances of unrehearsed interludes and ambient pieces. "Experiments" was an attempt to capture the live show and consists of one 47 minute completely improvised composition. The release is broken down into 14 tracks for ease of consumption.

Slasher Film Festival Strategy "Dawn of the Golden Mother"

From the cassette "Lunar Temple"

Space Shuttle Ambition was NASA's fourth operational spacecraft launching on February 3, 1987- the first manned space flight to Mars. Dubbed Operation Crimson Throne, the goal of the mission was to terraform Mars for potential colonization of future human inhabitants. A crew of seven successfully landed on the red planet on September 6, 1987 and all contact was lost a mere 18 days later. This is their story. 

This EP is a collection of unused/unreleased until now DEMO tracks from the "Crimson Throne" sessions and rounds out the "Crimson Throne" trilogy that includes "Crimson Throne", "Crimson Cavern" and "Lunar Temple". Recording began in 2012, but material was reworked and tweaked through 2017.

Slasher Film Festival Strategy "Gravitational Pull"

Harsh Life is an ambient/drone/background music project I have dabbled in for a number of years. I will slowly get around to mixing and mastering the material and making it available on some format or another.

Harsh Life "We No Longer Say Their Names"

Pre-order the limited edition cassette from Mirror Universe Tapes <a href="http://mirroruniversetapes.com/the-slasher-film-festival-strategy-wet-leather/">here.</a>

From the Mirror Universe Tapes website:
The Slasher Film Festival Strategy is the long running (15+ years) experimental project of South Carolinian Christopher Ashley.  Ashley's influence on hardcore in the American south is far ranging playing in Murder Weapon, Index For Potential Suicide, The Disease, and Avenging Disco Godfathers of Soul.  Ashley's bands have releases spanning many record labels that shaped hardcore and experimental music throughout the 1990s and 2000s like Scientific Research, Electric Human Project, Witching Hour, Alone, Insolito (Germany), Monotonstudio (Germany), and Release the Bats (Sweden). Index For Potential Suicide shared vinyl with Usurp Synapse, The Disease with Racebannon, and The Slasher Film Festival Strategy with Bastard Noise.

The Slasher Film Festival Strategy was spawned as a collision of influences (hardcore, harsh noise, and power electronics, drone, and sounds from Vermiform Records) that produced dark ambient and drone compositions that always hinted at horror and science fiction. Slasher Film Festival Strategy has come into a new era with the release of Crimson Throne (2013, Foreign Sounds) and Wet Leather (2013, Mirror Universe) harnessing the power and inspiration earlier releases, but pulling new energy in minimal electronics, experimental dance, coldwave, and horror/sci-fi soundtrack composition.  At time Ashley brings to mind a futuristic Badalamenti who has traded in his piano and orchestra for a Juno-60 and a DX-21.
