VERY local band: A beautiful melding of noise rock, post rock, krautrock. All recorded live in-studio these could pass at times for the lost recordings of Can or Clock DVA. More polished than previous these creations have a cohesiveness that launches this band into the realm of the greats. Play with aforementioned, and Carlton Melton, Acid Mothers, Bardo Pond. All instrumental. Btw: this is Emmerich (dj away), Adam, and Diego's band, all former GMs and MDs here at KZSU. They learned well, snatched the pebble from the hand of KZSU...

1)* (24:05) starts mellow, kinda chimey guitar almost post-rock, mathy beat, builds nicely into beautiful droning noise rock, about midway the drums drop out and this becomes a noise balm of epic proportions, things quiet down, drums return and the rock builds back, ends w an all out free noise jam 2) (20:19) urgent sorta stoner rock riff theme out the gate, goes thru moods but all epic noise rock and noise 3) (13:27) pulsing electro tone to start, synth laden with soaring dreamy tones and bass driven, this is advanced stuff, if I didn't know I'd say this was the lost recordings of Can, Clock DVA, Cab Voltaire, with cool little percussion colorations
