Oneohtrix Point Never/Tomutonttu
Split

Alter 02

7”
£5.99


Edition of 500 copies UK tour 7”. Tomutonttu aka Jan Anderzen of Kemialliset Ystavat presents a side of small instrument psychedelia, with day-glo ticker-tape melodies and fast, chattering drones. The Oneohtrix Point Never side is just gorgeous, a slow float through Zones Without People-style ambience and spiralling clouds of synthesized strings. Very beautiful. Recommended.

Don’t Fuck With Magic DFWM-008

CD-R
£11.99


New release on Campbell Kneale’s private Don’t Fuck With magic imprint in an edition of only 100 copies: dreamteam collaboration that pits Campbell Kneale’s current vehicle for maximal transmigratory bliss with Jan Anderzen’s Kemialliset Ystavat satellite Tomutonttu. This side is totally spooked, starting off in a weird whispering grass/forest of spirits style that’s somewhere between the great Paivansade LP on Eclipse and the early Keiji Haino compositions on the Soul’s True Love before breaking into a back-and-forth ghost fog-horn exchange that could almost be the titanic specters of Don Dietrich and Jim Sauter straddling the Golden Gate Bridge. This plays out as one long track though it does consist of several separate conceptions and the later pieces mutate into a kind of alien cosmo drone that combines Anderzen’s goofily psychedelic keyboard work with sobbing arcs of choral rainbows, expertly channeled tape work and the sound of punctured speakers broadcasting from Venus. This is hip! Full colour wallets.

Bennifer Editions No Cat

One-Sided Picture Disc LP
£17.99


Edition of 300 copies picture disc with art on the flip presenting one of Jan Anderzen’s most psychedelic and hypnotically rocking sides. This self-titled collection, originally commissioned by the Aanen Lumo Festival for New Sounds, starts off like an early Sonic Boom side with fast tremolo guitar and padding motorik rhythms beneath hysterically modulated and extended vocals eventually locking-down into a fantastic eternal groove. But soon the whole thing devolves into what sounds like a chopped and screwed Arkestra tackling “The Satellites Are Spinning”. Obsessively constructed psychedelic electronica, set to stun. Recommended. 

Astral Social Club/Tomutonttu
Split

Tipped Bowler Tapes No Cat

12” EP
£17.99


Inspired pairing that pitches a side each from Neil Campbell’s kinetic Industrial trance unit Astral Social Club with Jan Anderzen of Kemialliset Ystavat’s hypnotic toy orchestra Tomutonttu. Campbell’s side has a heavy automating/Nurse With Wound feel to it with Steel Dream Of The Marching men rhythms dissolving in corrosive F/X that feedback all over themselves to the point that it feels like Terry Riley remixing Neu w/an eternal Acid motorik sound. Anderzen’s side is the perfect compliment, extended fluttering drones over helium melodies that feel as if they could have been beamed from the most candy floss areas of James Ferraro’s brain. Edition of 300 copies w/150g colour vinyl, hand-stamped labels and full colour silkscreen sleeves by Alan Sherry of SIWA.
