Post found in a petrol station

We live in a constant tension between the space above, away from gravity, which is the first force of reality we have to contend with when we are dragged out of the womb, and the Earth below, full of shit and pain but also warm and alive, let us take the latter route today, tread…

An Oddyssey of Savagery

You know how one of the 20Jazzfunkgreats guys is engaged in scholarly investigations, lucky him gets to spend time reading academic papers and pondering about where culture is going, and the role that technology plays in it.

IGETRVNG

(Where we continue the space trip, with an spiritual twist) If your astral body were to elevate into the sky and further, past cotton clouds, outside into the last confines of the atmosphere, and float there like Christ in that Dali painting, surrounded by metal teardrops and satellites of love with the blackness of space…

Hyperion Rising Disco

EYE & Johnny Jewel

Ah, Lindstrom, our main cosmic disco-man, we have spent a fair few cold nites in listening to your hypnotic kosmiche beat constructions, got lost in the myriad tunnels of the mind with the shimmer of your ethereal holographic emerald synths as a companion, floated further and further down the cracks in the Earth created by…

…and what they saw

Featuring:

no age, prog & roadtrip

Wind opens up like the wings of a bat engulfing them inside a space which is utter quiet for a second, the eye of the storm, the belly of a behemoth with walls through which acid should presently precipitate hissing to corrode flesh and soul into a primeval soup of bubbling fat, a yellow carcass…

Regarding where they vanished

Featuring:

Factums & roadtrip

Last time we heard, our heroes were lost in the limbo separating the barren desert scoured by the mercilless eye of God from the land of ghosts where a sepia thistle blooms for every sin you have committed, they advanced holding hands, oblivious to the warnings of tongue-speaking coyotes and vultures cruising the sky like…
