muntjac - warp - taped sounds –cass – 8$
Paul Grimes, member of the now defunct DEATH CHANTS walks a surprisinglypersonal path on this album. very outside the common psychedelic genre
he draws a path of his own. on WARP, Grimes scrapes together a faboulous
blend of easy listening, light marbles and more retro space tunes. a hot
mix of elements of KITARO, JOE MEEK, and even some hits of an
introspective DENNIS WIZE. fantastic stuff for the upcoming summer
hangovers.

treetops - deep purple infinity - taped sounds –cass – 8$
MIKE POLLARD aka TREETOPS. soothing tunes for a new step into the self. i don't know if anyone remembers AEOLIAH, but this album made me think about his psychological new age meditation pieces a lot. this IASOS affilate made music for a healthy living (tm). TREETOPS steps on this path as well, but travels more out there, more vague. synthesized sounds of a new beginning surrounded by the crunch of the media. deep inside this tape, the message of healing is encoded. if psychotronics is a new genre of music, this guy is one of the portholes to the genre's heart.

coded person W.V. is a respected member of the Antwerp core of autodidact musicians. while others of that core try to get into the circle of wrong, W.V. keeps focussing on his own brains and hands. not interested in getting to play at local art exhibitions or braindead gatherings, W.V. gives room for his own moments of contemplating braindeadism. his main translation is the synthesizer. on this album, we are given a carefull peak in one of the two professions of W.V. profession one is spaced out code patterns wich we will look into soon on a split with our pals at Breaking World Records. profession two is the progressive synth emotional pondering in the old school style. and we look at it NOW. this cassette is the deep blues of ADELBERT VON DEYEN in the mix of a lonely soul and a misunderstood heart. intensely fantastic with a touch of pure. this is melancholic, deep down under communications in the esoteric energy structure.

abstract synthesizer works from this Professor In Usable Knowledge andfull-time McD's clientele, Floris Vanhoof. while being a core member of
R.O.T. and an independent movie maker, recently he started to
consentrate more on his love for technique and synthesizers. this album
is a repress of his first self-released tape, released a while ago, but
only gotten into the hands of museum programmers and synth music forum
nutters. strange, abstract and minimal sounds, codes and unusuables,
made with the ems vcs3 synth. a deep view behind the arches... vanhoofke
recently released a cassette album on breaking world recs, and is
working at a vinyl record for ultra eczema.

duncan cameron - s/t - taped sounds –cass – 8$
dolphins into the future side-project. duncan cameron was involved inthe Montauk project. he was the medium they used to transmit the brain
frequencies. but more important, duncan cameron lived on different
timetracks. more than dolphins into the future, this tape focusses on
pure / clear synthesizer music and ambient sci fi spheres. but on side b, the timetracks are switched, and one suddenly hears a collage of taped percussion sounds. it's maybe a sort of organum pondering on persona isolation. only in this case, defenitly not the kind of self-implemented isolation to reach for better knowledge of oneself / the mind / mind programs / the others / chrestos / life....

math balances volumes - s/t - taped sounds –cass – 8$
okay, i saw these guys live on the nice Color Out Of Space festival last year, and what they presented was one of the best shows i saw in 2007. a truly weird blend of smoked out psychedelic rumble played by a guitar player and a tapeplayer. people were crying for help during their set due to the high level of insight and knowledge that was being transmitted. because after all, i guess one cannot understand everything and it hurts to be "in the unknown". but anyways, my mind tripped out so heavily on their live / life information that i couldn't resist to hassle them into a tape release asap. and this is it. this is misissipi blues played in the local arcade. this is a collage of synchronicity. these are the workings of Babalon... and when i was playing the mastertape for J C Scanner, his individual scannercells collectively popped out as well, so this album is co-released with the Zeikzak (http://www.jellecrama.com). all the tapecases come with individually unique painted / colored / stickered / ??? artwork by our little brothers. information is pain.-tapedsounds

RESTOCK!! a 30 minutes book on tape. Kraus, drumpad for acts like THE AESTHETICS and THE FUTURIANS, gives the humble an insight to his path of life. from deep listening spacesounds towards bubbly synth excursions: this is a unique vision. Pat Kraus manages to sound like the BBC RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP run through
the minds of alien creatures. this is truly my imaginary BAD CHANNELS OST. currently, Pat is working at an lp for ULTRA ECZEMA, because society wants more....
