America, you
unpredictable saucy bitch! Sure we all know the coasts are killing it with
their spaced out synth mind meltdowns, but central Texas?? I'm pleased as punch
to be a madman from Austin, but now after hearing Kösmonaut (from San
Angelo freak the brain electric, Tejas...hell, his is mushroom music w/plenty
of kraut on the side for taste) I'm thrilled! Kösmonaut is a fan of the
post-Berlin School, pre-rave sound of synth psyche club mix OUT THERE tones. K
is Patrick
R. Pärk and he describes his music thusly, "...propulsive retro-ish
psych-prog electronics. A lone explorer of myriad psychic vistas, Kösmonaut
channels experiential knowledge of Time’s secrets into trance inducing
kosmische-electronic excursions." This split with Adderall Canyonly (put out by
Kös' own label) is magnificent. Pro-look, pro-sound - 'nuff said. Both sides
are wonderful excursions for those so inclined to lift off. I got my hands on
this tape courtesy of Field Hymns 'cause they're distributing the title and it
was part of a huge box of review tapes which I'll write about soonish. Of the
100 dubbed only 6 remain at EMT's Bandcamp (as of the last time I checked, that
is) so don't wait on this Saga Genesis cosmic technicolor dream coat.
