Freudstein vs Praetorius

When the stars are aligned, and upon contact with the golden needle lying hidden in the box of velvet crimson at the back of the old bureau you will open with an esoteric variation of the Fibonacci sequence, the surface of this record shall transform into the no-matter that black holes are made of, spill across the snakepit of coils lying in the floor and spread from the speakers into the still life of your lounge, inky tendrils will suck you in through a stroboscopic tunnel, fast ahead towards the Starchild if the Starchild was a figure of pure ebony sitting at the edge of time in a throne surrounded by snarling sphynxes.

Hi, ΤΗΞ LΔΖΣ.

In Space Fabric Conditioner, they sound larger than the sky above and everything that lies under, imagine the Mahavishnu Orchestra after reading the Necronomicon, or Magma rocking from the apex of the pyramid where the remnants of mankind resist against the hordes of Eternal Darkness. Imagine. That’s what it’s about.

ΤΗΞ LΔΖΣ- Time Horse

Apologies for the abrupt ending. Get the album if you want to know what happens next.

Cool Italian dudes Avant! recently released a 7” by German Cassetten 82/Hot Wave outfit Krysmopompas. The a-side, GeSa, is a beautiful line drawing of the graceful movements traced on the dusty floor of an abandoned hall by a mechanical bride and an electrical groom as they orbit around each other in their clockwork ballet while a crooning ghost dressed in an ill-fitting tuxedo provides dada admonitions from his pulpit. It sounds grainy, derelict, metallic and forsakenly beautiful like all the best German post-punk. We totally heart it.
