“Hidden in the liner notes of Causa Sui’s new live album lies an invitation to join the Danish purveyors of expansive psychedelic jams for a midnight feast at Copenhagen’s legendary Loppen venue. Recorded in the heart of freetown Christiania, a place where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur like the edges of a particularly good dream, the band’s performance is a testament to their two decades of sonic exploration… This is Causa Sui at their most free-flowing and spontaneous, a band that’s clearly as comfortable in the live setting as they are in the studio. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best music is the kind that’s created in the moment.”
Kombynat Robotron – West Mata (2024)
“After their space-themed record -270°C (2021) and the following, earth-themed record Frohe Zukunft (2023) Kombynat Robotron are closing the circle with the waterthemed West Mata. With a total length of about 50 minutes split into three tracks the band returns to their longform jam-based approach to songwriting on West Mata.”
VA – International Space Station Vol. 2 (2024)
“4 international bands (Verstärker, Kombynat Robotron, Speck, Sarkh) contributing 1 LP side each, instrumental, about how to watch the ISS crossing their skies from time to time… or being overwhelmed by the rough beauty of the ocean…
Long and psychedelic tracks pulsating through space and try to follow the way of the space station around our globe and even beyond, to contribute you the opportunity to travel through your inner cosmosis while listening, only interrupted by the needle lifting, which could just be some stops at random interstellar stations, to release and gain passengers.”
The Band Whose Name Is a Symbol & Dead Sea Apes – Eine Nacht (2024)
“Like hearing the lost Amon Düül I recording you’ve waited 50 years for…Glenn Branca’s wall of guitars, the shamanic cacophony of The Boredoms, psych melters Comets on Fire and so much more inbetween. It is punk ib it fury, noise in iits rash extremity and psychedelic in form. It felt as though everyone in that room was connected to a universal mind decorder as wave after wave of pure sonic free flowing energy built and built to climatic zeniths…and then they did it again…and again.”
Vangelis – The Dragon (1978)
“The Dragon is the second of the pair of illegally-released Vangelis LPs (Hypothesis is the other one) that came out in 1978 but was recorded in June 1971. This album includes Vangelis, Silver Koulouris on guitar, Michel Ripoche on violin, Brian Odger on bass guitar and Mick Waller on drums. It was produced by Giorgio Gromelsky and recorded at Marquee Studios in London. Unlike Hypothesis, The Dragon has a more Greek flavor to it, consisting of three tracks, the side long jam title track, the spaced-out “Stuffed Aubergine” and the upbeat “Stuffed Tomato”. This album was also subject of a lawsuit filed by Vangelis and fellow musicians against Charly Records Ltd. After they won, future manufacturing of the album stopped.”
Øresund Space Collective – Espaço (2024)
“In Sept 2023, the band gathered once again in Portugal and laid down 13hrs of magical music over a week. There was a lot of experimenting and many ideas flowed. These two pieces of music were very special and meditative in someways. Umma reminded me of 1970 Pink Floyd in many ways, thus the title. Birim Magic, starts with Tito and Hasse playing the African instrument, Birim-bau and then heads off into its own universe over the course of over 40mins. This is a very spacey musical adventure and totally unique in the bands catalog.”
Moonseeds – Moonseeds (2024)
“In the year 2018 the australian psych-rockband SEEDY JEEZUS was doing their european tour. After the tour their guitar player Lex Waterreus spent some days at the home of Komet Lulu and Sula Bassana (both back then of ELECTRIC MOON), and what would be nicer as to record some jamsessions. Three longer pieces got recorded and Sula did some editings and mixings.Then some years passed by…In late 2023 Lex visited Sula at his new home after another SEEDY JEEZUS tour and they did some spare overdubs and finished the album.”
Seedy Jeezus with Isaiah Mitchell and Tony Reed – Tranquonauts 2 (2024)
“After the release of the Tranquonauts debut album in 2016, which was spawn from from conversation between members of Seedy Jeezus and Isaiah Mitchell, we are on the precipice of the second instalment in the journey that is the Tranquonauts, which this time includes Tony Reed… Seedy Jeezus booked a studio in Melbourne and the following day they met up and locked themselves in the studio and jammed for hours …. recording random thoughts ideas and just playing where the music went, with no expectations, except to have a blast and enjoy themselves.”
Causa Sui – From the Source (2024)
“On ”From The Source”, Causa Sui’s first new studio album in four years, the band has created some of their most ambitious music ever – simultaneously travelling through the sonic landscapes that has come to define the group’s sound and pushing towards new horizons.With the four bandmember’s ties to jazz, experimental and ambient music, Causa Sui is something of an anomaly in the ever-growing European psychedelic rock scene. Always following their own path. Never before has the group’s wide ranging influences been more meticulously weaved together as on ”From The Source”, from groovy Zamrock and electric jazz to floating post-rock, Sabbath riffage and hypnotic kosmische.”
Shem – Sheol (2024)
“Unearthed from the archives of Shem to commemorate our 7th year in existence, these recordings mark the first beginnings of a continuous journey into the depths of musical experimentation, rhythmic meditation and cosmic trances. Performed and recorded on June 3rd 2017.”
