Reviews
Bands immediately recognizable on this comp (meaning I didn't have to look at the line-up on the back of the CD) are drone/noise artists Robot vs Rabbit and the world's greatest band, spacekrautheavymetalnoisecore frequency explorers Circle, who stick out because of that patented drum sound. But there are some other great finds on here, such as the haunting cosmic ambiance of New York's Escapade, the minimalist noisescapes of Paradise Camp 23 (whose Erik Amlee put this amazing comp together), the shaman-on-psilocybian chants of Argentina's Reynols, or the free-form experimentalism of Interferents, again from New York. All diverse talents woven together with the thread of mind expansion and musical exploration. A
worthy purchase for the intrepid, the curious, the music lover and the
head case. Very cool. Kudos to Mandragora Records (who specialize in this
type of mind rock) for putting this together.

I
gotta tell you that I love this thing because it's not Slayer, Sabbath
or Fu Manchu or some derivative of the former. Nothing wrong with those,
but even Old Man Barnes needs a new bone to chew on now and again.. I
don't know what it is exactly. I mean it's a collection of ambient space
drone, noise, experimental, free jazz and acid core, but it's hard to
get the head wrapped around a cohesive label. I guess the record company
description of "Sounds from the Psychedelic Noise Underground"
works best in this situation.
