Minimal ‘acid drone techno’ from another High Wolf offshoot, this time channelling the zoned electro-punk stylings of the whole Tolerance/Vanity circle. Very spare beats and thin smears of electronics generate a nightmare Industrial environment complete with a late-night/under surveillance atmosphere and odd monochrome loops that could almost be a Graham Lambkin/Astral Social Club collaboration. Combines both Kunlun cassettes on one handy disc. 

New 7 from this great French ritual/loop outfit with an A side that takes Terry Riley’s Persian Surgery Dervishes to Germany 1972 with a relentless electro groove/pulse and infinitely repeating kosmische keyboards and a flip that sounds like a fleet of tiny helicopters assaulting wooden percussion through a mist of obscuritant jungle tone. Edition of 300 copies.

New split LP that presents two complimentary sides of French tone scientist and occult minimalist High Wolf/Annapurna Illusion. The High Wolf side represents the apex of his recent form with a slow narcotic groove that’s fuzzy around the edges and that threads simple melodic tones into spaceway drones in a way that crosses Out There A Minute-period Sun Ra with early Kraut cosmonauts Harmonia/Cluster/Popol Vuh and a flat-lined minimalist approach that is as hypnotic as your favourite all-night flight. Annapurna Illusion have a heavier/fuzzier aspect to their eternal music, with aspects of Faust’s “Krautrock” accruing form and focus across endless passes through metal drones and vistas of crunch before Yod-style rhythms start to call the kitties home.
