Retrospective III
(Los Angeles Free Music Society) Used CDR $8.00
The through-line of the sonic universe of this LAFMS mage and former member of Monitor and Solid Eye, according to Mutant Sounds, “has always been a syrupy viscousness, through which his faded cycles of cheerfully cod-spooky and askew melodics pulse. Imagine a codeine-addled Danny Elfman orchestrating a Krofft Superstars inversion of Asmus Tietchens’ frosty cyclical wooze works under his Mechthild Von Leusch alias and pressing the results on aged wax cylinder discs. The glazed is paramount in Thomsen’s fishbowl universe and its protoplasmic essence ensnares my consciousness like a venus fly trap.”
