Woodford Halse. Undulating Waters 6 and 7. Nov 2021

I have a new track (The Odd Admin Sub Committee) on the new Undulating Waters 7 compilation from the Woodford Halse Label.
But before Undulating Waters 7 there is also Undulating Waters 6.
Following on from 5 previous volumes of our flagship series, Undulating Waters now makes
the jump from cassette onto glass mastered CD with two further editions. Each volume
features new or previously unreleased contributions from an amazing array of talented
musicians from across the globe and across multiple genres. Some names will be familiar,
others may be new to you (there are one or two debut appearances here too),
but what we have is a wonderful collection of new music as the soundtrack to the
end of a not-so-wonderful year. (Matt Handley Woodford Halse 2021)
