"Modern Florida is the comprised works of Michael RJ Saalman and Jonathon Bafus. Offering riffs and comparing notes the two slaved over the material until six distinct cuts were assembled into a storm of spectral punk and avant pop masterpieces. Joined by Boyd Andersson on Bass the songs were topped off with a strong back bone. Leaving nothing to say but have a listen for yourself."
"For this latest venture Seattle’s Panabrite delivers a more expanded sound, built upon layered analog electronics, rustic rhythm boxes, lush synth strings, and occasional guitar arrangements; traversing the path from outer space to the deep woods and back…"
"Relax&Sleep!" this might be a magician's spell, a slogan for a mattress commercial, advice from a hostess during an acrophobia attack, or a hypnotist command. Whatever it means, "the purposes and mechanisms of sleep are only partially clear and are the subject of intense research". Imagine you find a head cleaning tape and insert it into your old VCR: 5 chapters for 5 different levels of head cleaning intensity. With an aural accompaniment ranging from deep, blurry techno beats to oceans of mellow, ethereal synth drones, here is a 20 minute audio-visual pastiche of confabulations and visual cliffs: fragments of old public service ads, airline commercials and ephemera make their way through interference, noises and acid colors dripping from fuzzy TV logos: and finally, an elusive figure through a mist of luminous clouds has a very important message for you: "Relax& Sleep!" Limited edition of 100 copies.
Debut album for this enigmatic trio based in Britain. This music seems to come from the centre of the heart, it burns and smells of sulphur and it will sweep you away like a sonic magma made of fused metal. At the same time Purple Zhro seems to be distant from this planet, and its chants could to be an ode to an alien divinity. One of the best Sturmundrugs album!

SOLD OUT
The Underwater Beast is back with a second full lenght album, after "Dark as the Sea" on Utech Record. With "The Blyssynge of the Salte" he introduces us to an ancient rite, a purification dance made of gently acid drones, psyched out percussions & voices from and to another dImension.
Caligine presents its first full-lenght effort in un-folk deconstruction. Distorted fiddles collide with waves of recursive fingerpicking, acid narratives and warm strings interacting; balanced between the idea of song and the opposite calm disorder, struggling against the impossibility of improvisation, filling old folds of frequencies with new content, always unnumbered and unknown, Caligine is a collective based Everywhere and populated by no One.
Caligine - Hastings (Parinirvana Blues) (from the album L'Autunno di Rame)

domenica 7 febbraio 2010
Primitive percussionism and obsessive sounds will lead you through antique rituals of human sacrifices till the purification, fluttering into a futuristic sabba made of hypnotic drones and spacy flutes. Two long mysterious tracks for a split that smells of stones, blood and bones.
Listen to Alberorovesciato: "catapultati dalle montagne, spigoli di pietra nelle costole (sacrifici atzechi)"
Listen to Donato Epiro:"la guerra dei fiori"
After the warped visions of his collaboration album together Kabizdoh Obtruhamchi, Michael Jantz returns to the subtle atmospheres of his solo music with this second album on sturmundrugs records. Acoustic guitar, with touches of accordion, glockenspiel, manipulated voice, piano flute, and scant field-recordings, for a collection of more intimate pieces written and partly improvised over the course of 2009. Blissful.

A 15 minutes piece of quite electronics and psychedelic drones recorded live at Critical Mess Fest @ Tou Scene, Stavanger by the prolific Norwegian experimental duo.
Listen to Bjerga/Iversen:
"Return to Serpent Sky"
