ghostrider
"Ghostrider is the debut
cassette from Cologne dark synth guru Jens Pauly (formerly Temple Of Beeheads). Sci-fi tones & brooding minimalism leads the way to the
open portals of your interior psyche. Droned out oceans of flowing arps
for your spiritual demons." hobo cult
"one of the most solid and promising debuts I’ve come across all year, Demons
is the stunning first release from Cologone-based synth overlord Jens Pauly, aka Ghostrider. Sorta brings back the same
feelings of hearing Oneohtrix Point Never‘s early
stuff for the first time, although Ghostrider’s got some truly original
tricks up his sleeve. I highly recommend snapping this tape up quickly ~ especially if you’re a fan of those deep, fuzzy drones that send chills
up your spine. Brilliant." zen effects
"Germany's Jens Pauly seemed to appear out of nowhere in 2011 with two of
the year's best synth tapes on Hobo Cult and Digitalis Ltd. Voices
finds Pauly honing his craft even further with seven new meticulously
composed pieces. Each track immediately springs to life with vivid,
cinematic detail. Pulsing, heavily sequenced numbers call forth images
of high-speed drives through neon-lit urban jungles, while more
restrained and amorphous tracks bring to mind slow strolls through a
foggy hillsides. Steering clear of the slightest bit of excess, Pauly is
truly a master at conveying moods that resonate deeply without wasting a
single second. Pro-dubbed and imprinted chrome cassettes, featuring
designs by Caroline Teagle." tranquility tapes
"everyone is going all berlin school these days, but ghostrider's jens pauly just shrugs his shoulders wondering what all the fuss is about.
he's all ready to start his own fucken köln school, blasting seraphim
blisscapes over the bridges attempting to drain the rhine. "light pulse"
resonates with absolute clarity, rolling over the synthetic hills into a
different shade of grass. as his compositions loop around and fold in
on themselves, they disappear like vapor in the early morning and leave
nothing behind but the haze."

fallen axe / so. lung
"A simple glance at the tracklist of Moments Together reveals
Fallen Axe to be the most romantic outlet for Frank “Hobo” Ouellette.
With song titles like “Matinee Love”, “Old Letters I Kept”, and “Your
Breath Revives Me”, it is obvious we aren’t dealing with the dimension-bending sci-fi fodder
we are used to from the Cubeman. Anything but sappy, these are strange
and formless bits of breezy summer psychedelia: warped and distorted
echoes of good times, reverberating in a foggy, underwater garden of
memory loss. How’s that for romantic?" zen effects

siguiendo la estela de 'canary island' de Redbeeds, Calypso Hum (el sello de Carter Mullin) nos regala dos delicatessen que tienen mucho que ver entre sí y que me encantaría que no pasasen desapercibidas. pequeñas variaciones sobre un esquema de guitarras minimalistas y teclados de algodón que avanzan a menos de dos kilómetros por hora y que parecen haber sido compuestas en mitad de un desierto. los dos transmiten esa agradable sensación de bienestar flotante, el de Fallen Axe con un entrañable punto marciano que a veces me recuerda a las distorsiones de Ulaan Khol, y el de So. Lung más suave y pastoral. algo así como un encuentro imaginario entre Bruce Langhorne, Eternal Dreamer, Golden Pawn, Softlight Reveries y Waterside Gala.

hobo cubes / komodo haunts
"The Hobo man is back again on Hooker Vision to put his fractured take on dub music. Spin this at the club and you’re bound to get your freaky ass thrown out. On the B side, British newcomer, Komodo Haunts, delivers a gentle set of cool, reflective beach zones. The comedown yin to Hobo Cubes’ yang party" hooker vision
sabía antes de escucharlo que ésta sería mi colaboración favorita en lo que va de año, la magia de ver tan sólo los nombres, los títulos y el sello. hobo cubes más acuáticos, relajantes y de corazón que nunca (lazy in heaven!), un bálsamo de dub, drones e incluso un poquito de jazz. komodo haunts tan orgánicos y húmedos y tropicales como en el disco de la palmera editado no hace mucho en sangoplasmo y con el que había experimentado un flechazo tan especial, los dos juntos nos llevan de paseo por la isla de la foto. me despierto con jungle apparition y las flautillas lejanas de streams through thick air y, con permiso de lieven moana, pienso que si hablamos de clima y de bucles no hay nada que me transporte como lo hace la música, dulce y diminuta, del astronauta ollie tuttie. cuanto más lo escucho, más me gusta. todo fluye como si estuvieras en un sueño... hooker vision que estás en los cielos

hobo cubes
"This one blew us away with its reverb drenched arpeggios and bizarre sci-fi vibe. I couldn’t help imagining it as the soundtrack to some slow paced 70s space opera cartoon." orangemilk
"A sonic passage through transient mindscapes. A timeless journey that bridges the gap between memory and prophecy. An audible education in self-discovery and global investigation. Those are just a few ways to describe the spellbindingly pleasurable tracks that you will discover on this tape. Francesco De Gallo, a synth dynamo, encases us in a cocoon of reverb only to spread our wings and fly through a new world of sci fi hypnotics. I’ve heard some say that this is the most textual and full tape we’ve heard from Hobo Cubes so far and I don’t doubt it.
...it all feels like you can reach through the music and touch new worlds, new realities, new revelations. It’s like having one foot fixed here on common soil and the other dipping into something so unknown that it’s like a distant galaxy’s galaxy. A perfect way to end the summer, before the sobriety of winter chills blow in. Perceptive Pulses gives us yet a couple more sidelong tracks to feed heart, soul, and mind, and maintain a concretized career for Hobo Cubes. Super psychedelic art that almost nails the whole vibe perfectly. Pro dubbed and pro imprinted solid orange tapes, which are more than appropriate for a label called Orange Milk. Grab one before they return to the universe they came from." foxy digitalis

mpala garoo | kon tiki gemini | golden dwarves
"Mpala Garoo is Ivan from Moscow who also plays in a duo Kon Tiki Gemini and Sunbells Fennimore. Golden Dwarves is one of the moniker of Gary Reuben Morris.

Total gripper for you smooth cats and night crawlers...Kon Tiki Gemini jam some mellow atmospherics for those late night escapades to the mountain to watch the sun rise.

"ivan karib is one of the main culprits using multiple monikers and corralling multiple collaborations alike. for me, his top guise is mpala garoo (though his work with kon tiki gemini is quite good too) and over the course of these 25 minutes you can hear the tropics invade russia and clatter to the floor. ghost guitars ring hollow, looping around endlessly searching for synthetic embrase. kourbakov laces a beat or two here and there but always keeps an eye on wrapping melodies around it all." digitalis
"wondrous spaced-out electronics that floats somewhere between Monopoly Child and Moondog"
"Like a cool breeze from a summer lake or a plume of purple incense smoke, Russia's Kon Tiki Gemini waft across the room like spectral shivers, leaving in their wake a chilled ripple." hooker vision
