Tower Recordings - Message From The Celestial Explosions - LP (2005)

Labels: Holoscanner Consciousness
Review by: Joe T

This has the feeling of a companion piece to the bands previous album. More ooze, more squelch. More free jazz/sporadic noise/groans. Sounds come in that disturb and some come in that sooth. A round of applause, a crash of percussion. A twang battles with a pinch of salted gruel. Ideas are half played out then collapse. Brass duels with guitars fed on gloopy porridge laced with mushrooms. The voice from the previous album makes only minor league appearances and is cut short to make way for another dive into comforting gloom.

This is way more frazzled yet just as enticing as The Galaxies’ Incredibly Sensual Transmission Field. We’re in a hole with this one, we were on top of the world with the other.

There’s only 400 vinyl and 200 CDR’s available on the newly formed Holoscanner Consciousness imprint. It has really nice art as well, for those that care, a screenprinted heavy gold stock cover with gold insert. I love getting records like this through the post.
