The Land of Nod is the first non-Silber band to have a release on the label, but it's not our fault Ochre found them first. I think they're the next new stage for shoegazers, but maybe that's just me. Dreamy little guitar picking patterns, sometimes a little rocking out & some people call it post-rock. - Brian John Mitchell
Timeless Point received
similar rave reviews with Vendetta in America commenting "The interplay
of musicianship on the album is fascinating, the rumbling bass sounds meshing
in well with the atmospheric guitar passages to create some of the more
effective mood music of recent years."

CD EP 2001 | Silber 015 6 tracks, 23 minutes $8 ($14 international, $4 download (256 kbps, ~41 megs)) Orientation Point, San Juan Capistrano, Altitude, Sommet, Anquetil, Mont Ventoux "Numerous glistening guitar
strings are plucked, samples of traffic from Paris descend into the mix,
and something that sounds like an old windmill creaks rhythmically; enter
the Land of Nod. Suitable for drifting off to, this Cheltenham, England
duo makes music that alternates between repetitious string picking with
subliminal sonic undertones, like a less dynamic Durutti Column, and wheezing
Enoesque ambient sounds that have you believing you¹re in a bathysphere
touring some underwater world. Not a lot happens in this subtle music,
but that's not a bad thing as it quietly evokes all manner of thought streams."
