EN NIHIL / WILT

Psychic Constellation

(Obfuscated - OR31) CD $9.00 (Out-of-stock)

From zone deep within the sub-conscious where emotions and memories swirl about, draping over stone facades of psychology and mirroring deep into the pool of the dream state -- the realm of dreams, nightmares and the physical aspects of night terrors -- eight masterly tracks delving between the surreal, the bombastic, and the troubled. Symbolism personified through sound. A sequence of confused mental projections envisioned and amplified.

GRODOCK

CD2: Verwerfungen

SKY BURIAL

Pas The Sarvering Gallack Seas And Flaming Nebyul Eye

(Obfuscated - OR27) CD $10.50 (Out-of-stock)

Taking its name from a line in Russell Hoban’s dystopian novel Riddley Walker, Mike Page returns to the longer track tendency of earlier Sky Burial while continuing to develop upon the sound and compositional style explored on There I Saw The Grey Wolf Gaping (Small Doses 2012). “Some sort of very strange circus music,” ponders our friend at Obskure Pandemonium, “A pleasure to immerse yourself in…. Like a blissful childhood memory on LSD…. [O]ne of the strangest ambient type records … in some time…. A dizzying cacophony of out-there sound … composed of various movements … telling an incredible story of worlds beyond normal perception.” Guests include Craig McFarlane, Nigel Ayers (Nocturnal Emissions), Finnish multi-instrumentalist Pentti Dassum, John Balestreri (Slogun / Self), Andrew Grant (The Vomit Arsonist) and Stargazer’s Assistant.
