Ed End and Charles Rice Goff III released versions of the album in August, 2021, via both the Necrophile Hummingbird and Taped Rugs Productions recording labels. In addition to the version of this piece that appears on those albums, End created a variant version for a video.

Geert & Hvorfor
“13 Gyldne Hits”
In a smoky Danish jukejoint I discovered the band Geert & Hvorfor (Geert and why) Geert sings and Hvorfor is his automatic keyboard presets it seems? Clearly the band aimed for 70’s/80’s style Dansktop or Schlager music, but their zany lyrics and weird phrasing reminds one more of Wesley Willis and Eilert Pilarm than James Last. Lyrics are in Danish, and for the non speakers, know they are sometimes explicit

Merzlux
“Sweitter Watood”
Merzlux, the experimental project by Vziel, is an exploration of artifice and chaos through electronic music. This two-track single offers a glimpse into Vziel’s unique approach to composition. Sweitter Watood is a soundscape that draws on the genre of musique concrete, incorporating a range of samples and field recordings to create a disorienting yet captivating experience. Generation, on the other hand, features a thumping beat that drives the track forward, interwoven with synth lines and sound effects to create a sense of momentum.

Compest – Rückzug
[ACP 1368]
Compest
“Rückzug”
„Rückzug“ by Compest started as a long hybrid ambience, combining muted synth sounds, a bit of distortion and with a tanpura drone. While working with the sounds, more and more elements offered themselves to be added to the flow of the piece. The tanpura becomes more active, industrial sounds, bells, voices, and after a while a flute become part of the mix.

Droomsfeer – Unity
Droomsfeer
Unity
“In a world where reality blurs and dreams come alive, there exists a sound so ethereal, so otherworldly, that it transports you to a realm beyond your wildest imagination. Fluffy clouds drift through the air, carried by the winds of change, painting the sky with colors beyond the spectrum of light. As you close your eyes and surrender to the music, you find yourself floating through a sea of stars, surrounded by the cosmic symphony of the universe. This is a journey through uncharted territory, a pilgrimage to the heart of the unknown. Let the sounds wash over you, let the melodies carry you away, and let your mind soar to the very limits of existence.
This is music like no other, a gift from the cosmos, a reminder of the magic and wonder that exists just beyond the veil. This is the soundtrack to the dreams of humanity, a portal to the infinite, and a celebration of the mysteries from the universe.”

Unity is a compilation album that contains all of Droomsfeer’s tracks which were created and released between April 2020 and April 2023. The album features around three hours of dreamy and atmospheric music, spread across more than fifty separate tracks.

James Hoehl – Called Alien Transmission

James Hoehl
“Called Alien Transmission”
Time travel; an elusive concept that tantalizes us with its possibility a seductive mirage, an abstraction that teases us with its potential traveling across time, bearing witness to the genesis of the cosmos or altering the past to shape our destiny? time; a figment of our imagination that we use to impose order on the chaos of the universe an imaginary construct? an enigma that defies our understanding. an enigma that evades our comprehension marooned on this planet. We ponder its genesis, its purpose, its very being. We are adrift in a world of shadows, reverberations and long ambient drones. A trinity of strangeness, a triptych of otherworldliness; lost in a realm of reveries and phantasms. All is not as it appears.

Daniel Klauser – Bilocacion EP
[pn220]
Daniel Klauser
“Bilocacion EP”
Bilocation: Specters of Marx
Searches find their place, means find their forms, rhythm finds its balance. “Bilocación”, from musician, producer, DJ, and cultural manager Daniel Klauser, is dance, trance, and manifesto; an EP that opens up new soundscapes within a register that has gone in different directions: techno, house, hip hop, Latin American jazz, or rock are part of this musician’s continuous search, who has made his way by assembling and dismantling aesthetics, discourses, sounds, and scenes to, in this new work, invoke the ghosts of what once was not music, but the underground discourses that once inhabited it.
Featuring musician Tristán Sotomayor (AOI and Nonlocal Society) as a guest, “Ft Tristán” is a track that makes us wonder, at what point did we arrive at this place? Through minimal means and lo-fi sound as a discursive weapon, Klauser moves us imperceptibly from one room to another, from one landscape to another, from one atmosphere to another; from the rawness of the sound to starchy groovy passages of rhythms, almost tribal, that build up or rather melt into a lysergic, warm, soft, and enveloping flow.
“Trumpet Lesson” is imagery taken from the dream of a trumpet traveling through the acid particles spat out by Miles Davis; or it could be a hallucinogenic journey in the midst of Kerouac’s arid road, or a dark and dystopian hallucination of Burroughs, or perhaps it rises as the cosmic and psychedelic intensity of Herbie Hancock in Sextant; what is certain is that here, Klauser’s processed trumpet delivers something retro-futuristic, accompanied by arpeggios and bass lines that take us back to a biological and hallucinatory tribal dance.
Daniel Klauser‘s voice in “Yo te quise” adds an additional note to this work which, like a laboratory of ideas, supports, and means, invites us to immerse ourselves in a sinuous movement, reminding us that what we hear is not a dance but a ceremony, and that there, in that middle zone, between “I love you” and “I loved you”, there is also a boundary – an abyssal zone – between the real and the unreal or between the surface and the deep.
“De tu mirada” is the closing of this manifesto of ghosts, retromanias, references, aesthetics, and discourses, where the sound space becomes a container of multiple intensities that seem to slide between poles, extremes, and middle zones that immerse us and make us emerge among soft whispers that moisten the listening, making it acidic and fractal.
“Bilocación” is the supernatural appearance of sounds that, gathered in this ceremony, celebrate the arrival of the specters that transit and break with the censorship, prohibition, and stigma that the industry has created around underground, marginal, pristine, and consequent music.
