about

Originally release Ruralfaune a 2x3"CDr and then on cassette by Sonic Meditations. Features Matt Hill (Umberto) and David Williams (Sounding the Deep) along side Justin Wright. The trio conduct a heavy improve on side A and the duo of Wright & Williams continue on with a lighter excursion on side B.

AQUARIUS RECORDS List No. 344
This ultra limited, double 3"cd-r from one of our favorite space synth kraut drone explorers disappeared before we could get our hands on any copies at all. Thankfully, both the band and the label offered to do another (equally limited) pressing of the cd-r's, just for aQuarius, so we got a bunch of those, and we also got a handful of the cassette tape version, just released on Expo 70's own label, so this is definitely your last chance to grab one of these cd-r sets, odds are the tapes won't be around long either, and by now, you know pretty much everything Expo 70 is worth owning.

And Psychic Funeral is indeed another primo slab of glistening washed out space drone drift. Two 18+ minute missives from the farthest reaches of the solar system, the first, a hushed glistening sprawl, all stretched out tones, and upper register shimmer, minimal melodies wrapped around clouds of chordal whir, deep cavernous drones underpinning constantly shifting streaks, buried pulses, swirly and tangled, almost cinematic sounding stretches of lost soundtrack music, haunting and mysterious and otherworldly, building to a buzzing finale, before slipping into a strange looped outro.

The second disc / side is another wide open starscape of melodic fragments, of prismatic glimmer, a softly blurred expanse of tonal color and softly heaving swells, a Tangerine Dream of kaleidoscopic swirls and layered sonic smears, eventually billowing into some soft focus psychedelia, the guitars unfurling some gorgeously chiming reverb drenched melodic tendrils, before drifting back in the blackness of space. So gorgeous.

Killer packaging too, the cd version features hand screened 3" discs, housed in a folded plastic pouch with a full color insert. Tape has a swank full color sleeve. And again VERY VERY LIMITED.

NO
by Boris

Floor-to-ceiling Boris ragers! It’s like they looked back on songs like Statement and Woman On the Screen and said “let’s do a whole album like that!” Most of these tracks don’t even pass 3 minutes! Zerkalo holds up the middle with some anguished doom. In the end, *NO* is as strong and declarative as it’s title. Brian Parker

Expo '70 / Plankton Wat
by Expo '70 / Plankton Wat

Terrific release. The Expo '70 side is probably my favourite of the two; undulating, hypnotic waves of dark ambient bliss. But the Plankton Wat side is very good; not so dark, and more over instrumentation, but taken as a whole, this is an extremely satisfying release. Point of note: this sounds superb on vinyl, and the sleeve ensure the album looks as good as it sounds. Michael Mueller
