Our friends at The Altered Mind are offering a FREE flexi disc with the latest issue!Here’s the details listed in the zine:
The two bands above contributed to the AM’s first audio release, an 8’/” clear flexi-disc soundsheet. The total running time of the two songs is 7:12. The HALO track is previously unreleased and the Love Spirals Downwards track is a remix of a rare song. Some of the issues came with the free flexi, but we pressed it in a limited edition of only 1000 copies. If you did not receive one free, we are offering them for $2 for the first one and $1 for each additional soundsheet.

There’s also a nice little writeup about the band:
Since the release of their debut album Idylls in December 1992, Love Spirals Downwards have broken Projekt sales records without precedent. The duo made their first recorded appearance on Projekt’s August 1992 From Across This Gray Land #3 compilation, opening the album with two mesmerizing tracks from a then-unknown band. To date, the band’s recorded output comprises the album, the two Gray Land tracks, and a song on the Silent Records compilation Fifty Years of Sunshine.
When asked what makes their music so alluring among the bands on the Projekt roster, Ryan Lum and Suzanne Perry affirm their uniqueness on the label. “Compared to other Projekt bands, we’re more accessible, but that’s not what makes it alluring. What’s so good about the ethereal turn we’ve taken on the gothic scene is that it’s more uplifting, not depressing. It’s escapist music.”
Love Spirals Downwards are currently working on new material for a Proiekt album with a slated release for Summer ’94.
As if that weren’t cool enough, the band is also featured full-page on the back cover, which is actually printed upside down and looks like an alternate cover for this issue.
