Alitaju Ylimina Dekorder LP £11.99 First ever vinyl album from this mysterious European psychedelic communal drone/action unit in an edition of 500 copies with fold-out art sleeves featuring art by Uton on the outside and art from Dutch artist Christelle Gualdi on the inner. The actual sonics shift from almost MEV-scale electro-acoustic destruction into doomy halflights of subliminal melody caught up in vortices of metal and teeth. |

s/t Dekorder 024 LP £11.99 New album from the duo of Jan Anderzen (Kemialliset Ystavat) and Jani Hirvonen (Uton) with a heady Godz/ESP freak division feel. Lots of chanting, percussion, woozy use of F/X, Angus MacLise worship… |

The Key To The Kingdom Dekorder #028 10” £10.99 Limited numbered edition of only 400 copies, packaged in a nice vintage 78rpm style 10” sleeve. The Key To The Kingdom is German sound artist Stephan Mathieu’s tribute to raw gospel performer Washington Phillips, with two instrumentals performed on a historic Phonoharp No.2 zither from the 1890s using five E-bows. Phillips’ music always had a hallucinatory aspect to it and here Mathieu amplifies his angelic bell sound using various smears and treatments, joining the dots between ethereal drone music and sanctified folk forms. |

Dayglo Port Dekorder 045 LP £13.99 Excellent solo album from one half of Caboladies, Eric Lanham. More pastoral and dreamtone-focussed than the mothership, Carl Calm focuses on lugubrious drone work that touches on UK experiments like Matthew Bower’s Sunroof, Spacemen 3 circa Dreamweapon/An Evening Of Contemporary Sitar Music, The Chalk/Ora cultus et al with gentle comedown melodies and rippling keyboards and percussion. This one really bridges DIY homemade synth stylings and zone-out 20th century electronics and makes for some of the most luminal psychedelia to come out of the Caboladies camp. A keeper. |

Generator Breaker Dekorder 055 LP £14.99 New album from Neil Campbell’s (Vibracathedral Orchestra/ESP Kinetic et al) solo Astral Social Club guise: Generator Breaker runs the gamut of Campbell’s contemporary strategies but w/a heavy emphasis on the euphoric/devotional trancefloor works. Once more the spirit of Donovan’s “Hurdy Gurdy Man” inexplicably hovers over the music, w/weird extensions/visions of that classic psych track’s rhythmic ‘logic’, albeit usurped by beams of technicolour electricity. Some of the music has the same microtonal detail married to vertical ascensions aspect of Matthew Bower’s Sunroof while at points it sounds like a more ‘metal’ take on Kluster/Cluster. Either way, it’s another great one. |
