The Alps - "A Path Through the Moon" and "A Path Through The Sun"


The Alps released one of my favorite albums of 2008. Their album "III" is a fantastic mix of kraut, psych rock and space rock influences to make one of the most listenable jams in a while. The Alps consist of members of Tarentel, Colophon, and Expanding Head Band and these EPs are released on Tarentel's own Root Strata label. Limited to only 100 copies each, I don't feel bad posting the releases in their entirety. ESPECIALLY since they're both mega-sold out already.

If you heard "III" and dug it, check these out. All of the music contained was culled from the recording sessions that didn't make the final cut. I personally enjoy "A Path Through the Sun" more, but they're both great. Lemme know what you think!

J Spaceman & Matthew Shipp - "SpaceShipp"


J Spaceman returns with even more out-there material. The living legend of Spacemen 3 and (still) Spiritualized fame collaborates with Matthew Shipp, a pianist, to create a 40+minute long piece of treated organ drones. It's actually a lot better than I was expecting too!

Since it is Spaceman, the organ is heavily utilized to create a long, vibrating, pulsing, fading and actually enjoyable drone album. I listened to the entire thing at work today and just spaced out for a while. Pretty rad. The album is split into two tracks. The first tracks is the 44-minute long drone track, and the second is a more forward/abstract song which plays more toward Shipp's background.

The Treader label handled this one (as they did for J Spaceman's "Guitar Loops" a couple years ago) and the packaging is this beautiful embossed gold-foil sea-dweller you see above. Definitely worth the extra-bones for purchase.

Enjoy it while this link lasts. (or message me to email it to you again.)
