Fourth Dimension

<p>Fourth Dimension is a music label founded by Gary Levermore of Third Mind Records in 1983. However, it was later taken over by Richard Johnson (aka Richo) from Grim Humour fanzine after the first release. This label is dedicated to showcasing various genres of underground music, ranging from noise-rock and post-punk to Japanese noise, improv, abstract electronics, and so-called 'outsider' music. With its DIY sensibility, Fourth Dimension continues to thrive alongside Richo's other labels - Lumberton Trading Company and Winter Hill Recordings. In addition to his occasional Adverse Effect journal and his groups Splintered and Theme, Fourth Dimension has also ventured into publishing books.</p>

A budget-priced collection of tracks by artists who've had releases out on Fourth Dimension Records or whose music has entered the label's orbit and made a good impression. In an ideal world there'd be at least several albums by all concerned on Fourth Dimension Records, but the label operates from more or less the same dingy old basement it always has and subsequently has to limp along in usual fashion. It is precisely because of this that An Oblique Reference to Zeros has been assembled. The music always comes first and because Fourth Dimension Records does not focus on one particular area of music and instead works with a broad range of artists, the idea of bringing a number of them together on a compilation so that listeners can check out the previously unfamiliar made a lot of sense. Almost all of the tracks here are previously unreleased, remixes or recorded exclusively for this compilation, too.
