Vernal Equinox Update ... Ruderal Memory by Sub Loam - Out now!

Green stirrings and the resting, momentarily balanced forces of the equinox. We are pleased at this auspicious and special time to announce the return of Sub Loam with a new piece, the 45 minute, one-track album Ruderal Memory.

Generated with soprano saxophone and a multi-cassette, twin reel-to-reel set up this is a music of slow unfolding, accretion, prismatic disassembling and dissolution and eventual synthesis leading to transformation and (RELEASE).

Organically investigating the interface, symbolised and exemplified by breath mediated through the saxophone, of the interior and exterior and its union (YOGA).

The CDr is limited to a numbered run of 50 and comes in a hand-stamped heavy recycled card 7" folder in a poly bag. Each package contains a card wallet holding the CDr and an individual art insert, every artwork being a unique design and combination of forms within a defined set of parameters, similar in approach to the music, taking as a starting point the symbolism and geometry of Sri Yantra.

Microtones, tape-manipulation and saxophones; ink, water and lines, all focussed through Sub Loam's themes of elemental interplay and chlorophyllic consciousness.

Music mixed in one continuous take live in the studio for your pleasure and utility.

Freq visits Jesus on Mars

As we swing towards the solstice the days are getting shorter, the stars are shining brighter at night through the wintery atmosphere and Freq magazine's Michael Rodham-Heaps casts his eyes towards the Red Planet and Jesus on Mars:

...a climbing helix of synth throwing out stark contrasts to the jet-black vacuum of space...

Thanks, Michael!

Fluid Radio on Jesus on Mars

James Catchpole of Fluid Radio has written a lengthy review exploring the terrain of Jesus on Mars,

'... Maybe the tunnels conceal our true Gods, and long lost creators that disappeared thousands of years ago. In this cloying spacesuit, the sound seems slightly muffled, but the music is still audible over the rhythmic intake of breath. A dull Martian light glints off the visor, in a panoramic land of swirling sand....'

Thanks, James!

Frans de Waard encounters Jesus on Mars

JESUS ON MARS (CDR by Dissolving Records)
This release is 'dedicated to P. Dick, R. Pinhas and C. Schnitzler', it says on the cover and its not difficult to see why. I have no idea who Jesus On Mars, wether its a group or an one-man band, but it seems that they have acquired a bunch of analogue synthesizers to shape up their science fiction music, and as we know, science fiction always deals with the past, or at the best with the 'now' (which has become 'past' once we said the word). Fuzzy music of old synthesizers, with dust between the knobs and keys, sounding very 'old'. Like Pinhas and Schnitzler's 'non-keyboard electronics' in the seventies. Psychedelic music that takes the listener of an endless journey through the sky, and beyond, up into the dark, onwards to the planet Mars - as red as the cover of this CD. Its not that I hear anything 'new' in this release, hell no, but I played this twice in a row. Alright, I was too lazy to change the player, but also because these five pieces had something captivating. Wild, experimental and yet close to the world of cosmic music - a bumpy ride through the cosmic and one returns all refreshed and bright. Like waking up from a LSD trip, almost. Thoroughly psychedelic. (FdW)

Jesus on Mars recommended this week at Boomkat

http://boomkat.com/cds/556053-jesus-on-mars-jesus-on-mars

**Edition of 170 copies with catalogue insert. Excellent album of distorted and submerged Kosmische experimentation highly recommended if you're into Conrad Schnitzler, Emeralds etc.** Inner visions of martian sci-fi soundscapes conducted by the protagonist behind Dissolving Records. Paying tribute to Philip K. Dick and Conrad Schnitzler, 'Jesus On Mars' envelopes us in a black hole of analogue swirls, tripping into a vast alternate world of "...temporal concatenations and expansions; inner-spatial vistas and ferric visions of arcane pulp planetscapes." As history, literature and culture repeatedly tell us - from ancient Greece to modern Hollywood and NASA - Mars is not a friendly place and this mood of fearful trepidation is central to 'Jesus On Mars' as we're engaged by mighty dust clouds of cosmic distortion and harmonic hallucinations bound to leave a lasting impression after reentry to terra firma. We're sure Schnitzler would approve of this album.
