**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.

strange figures… the Martian deserts of the Mind.

Terrascopic View of The Ley Hunter's Companion
In this week's second very welcome review the good folks at Terrascope Online have included The Ley Hunter's Companion in their December issue of Rumbles, here's what they have to say:
"The Ley Hunter's Companion" is a two track EP whose opening cut is strongly reminiscent of Manuel Göttsching's seminal trance epic "E2-E4." The basic rhythm and style is augmented after a few minutes by an analogue-sounding addition, while the base sequence flickers and mutates. At the end of the track a lovely analogue lead line emerges, alas far too briefly. The second cut opens with a softly shimmering sequence reminiscent perhaps of Terry Riley, with more hints of Ashra coming in later."
Thanks guys!

Copies are still available direct from the label, email dissolving (dot) records (at) yahoo (dot) co (dot) uk for prices and shipping.

Foxy Digitalis on The Ley Hunter's Companion
A bit of an odd duck in the best sense, Sub Loam’s “mini-album” is a two-track, 30-minute meditative synth journey, a CD housed with a dedicated map-like poster in a 7-inch jacket. Containing two classy synth pieces, it’s an album that exalts the peculiar potential of a car trip for reflection, relaxation, and meditation. This in-car reflection always comes with solitude, and Sub Loam recognizes this and gets them out of the way, immersing the listener in the repetitive sequencer bliss of a blurry countryside passing by.
Both of these pieces are heavily indebted to certain aspects of ‘70s space and Kosmische music. “Lines In The Landscape” is a minimally changing arpeggiated sequence anchoring a hovering Kosmische-inspired theme. Although the daydream is broken rather abruptly at the end of the track, we move quickly into the equally mesmerizing “Odyssey.” This is a slightly faster sequence that features a prominent flanger effect and, again, minimal variation, until it slowly floats away.
Although it was released in time for “summer holidays,” the trip is equally comfortable listening in these winter times. Limited to 230 copies, this is a nice little document.
