Acknowledgements:
Thanks to all of the artists and to all of our fans! All of these tracks were submitted to us free of charge so that this compilation could be a fundraiser for our tiny label. Proceeds from this compilation will go towards funding future album releases, including our first releases on vinyl!
Additionally, we are extremely grateful to Torpor Vigil Industries for the use of the previous unreleased dream recording from the late Dion McGregor (1922-1994). Dion's sleeptalking was recorded by his roommate Michael Barr. Dion's dreams have seen release on a 1960s vinyl LP as well as two CDs in more recent years. Still, there are many recordings yet unreleased. Torpor Vigil is planning two more CD albums for release later this year.
