One of the many secret heroes of indie's golden age. Burnt Hair singles were a must-buy for me '95-'97

RIP, Larry Hofmann, who ran the excellent Burnt Hair label out of Dearborn, MI, and was a catalyst for the Detroit area's space-rock boom in the '90s, releasing records by Windy & Carl, Füxa, Tomorrowland, Asha Vida, and Monaural, as well as singles by Flowchart and Azusa Plane.

This weekend I realized that Sheffield's Short Span might still be a completely dud-free label—one massive dub/techno/ambient electronics unspool after another. Kudos to the operators... shortspanrecords.bandcamp.com/music
