Mater Suspiria Vision - Space Necronomicon

My copy of Mater Suspiria Vision's latest multi-media release arrived today, including an artbook and a CDR, both inspired by CdX's latest movie "Space Necronomicon". I didn't purchase the movie itself, but this package is a fantastic deal on its own. The book looks absolutely beautiful and includes a ton of amazing artworks, all generated by AI and pitched and edited by Cosmotropia. The album itself is really, REALLY good - trippy, slow-burning space nightmare that feels like a delirious journey into a world made of mirrors. It actually may be my favourite album from MSV in a long while (and I really loved "Kosmische Musik" from 2 years ago). If I can recommend anyone to buy only one album from the collective, this is it, especially with the book for the audio/visual experience.

There are four cover variants to pick from, so go for your favourite: design A, B, C and D. Alternatively get the digital here. Stream the record down below.

Voodoo Crystals - Prism Communictation

New album from Voodoo Crystals arrived out of nowhere and took over my speakers. Adam describes "Prism Communication" as (and I'm paraphrasing here) an attempt at manipulation of various sine waves for the sake of sonic exploration. Fourteen tracks deep, the record is filled with acid synth mutations and cyberpunk witchhouse, but honestly it's the small bits like juke-inspired drum arrangements or delirious 90s rave elements that make this album so fun to experience.

Download the "Prism Communictation" here, but tbh you should support the man as much as you can. Stream below.

Little Annie meets Night Foundation - Inertia

Absolutely addictive dub transmission from Night Foundation, featuring vocals from Little Annie, just dropped on Noir Age in the form of a limited edition 7" single. Super trippy, deep and alluring. Brilliant collaboration, recommended! You can buy the record (and digital) here.

Nights Templar - Orchid Blush

Nights Templar is back with a new minimal synth EP "Orchid Blush". Four tracks of probably most pop-skewed coldwave tracks he's done so far - very mellow and catchy. Those synth melodies are really good, and take me back to early 2010s andd the blogspot era with their lo-fi appeal. Fans of NT's will be pleased to know there's a cassette tape too, so be fast because those won't last for much longer...

New Age Doom - Remix the Universe (Extended Edition)

So last year New Age Doom released the remix album of their amazing collab with Lee Perry. Honeslty I slept on that one, and barely touched it on the blog (I did manage to write about the insane remix from Andy Morin though). Fast forward to March 2023 and We Are Busy Bodies decided to unleash an extended version of said record - with more edits and remixes for everyone's listening pleasure. Psych, drone, free jazz, beats, dub, metal and god knows what else are all condensed into this incredible 17-track capsule of dopeness. Listening to all those versions made me even appreciate the originals from New Age Doom and Scratch even more. Support!

Trigger Moral - Lia$$e 2 (Helen Island)

Totally radical mixtape from French audio wizard Trigger Moral, that feels like a de- and reconstructed collage of ambient soundscapes, vocals samples, field recordings and contemporary electronica. His compositions give the impression that they were elaborately crafted with attention to each sound woven into their DNA, which also makes them feel fragile and fleeting. Beautiful stuff, especially the Timbaland-sampling "No Witness" and celestial take on Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone". This one will be appreciated by fans of PAN's "Mono No Aware" compilation or Malibu (on vaporwave'd steroids) - give it a shot!

James Ferraro - Last American Hero

The second release in the Restoration Series from James Ferrao is his hypnagogic americana classic "Last American Hero". Originally released on tape in 2008, then reisssued on vinyl by Olde English Spelling Bee, this album remains one of his most celebrated releases. Equally droney and trippy, this the kind of music you'd hear in a petrol station in the middle of Midwest's nowhere. Glad this is getting proper digital reissue.
