Gialorgues
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* "Debut album released from this French outfit which has reached "cult status". "Gialorgues" has found its way onto many "best of" lists that I have seen and for good reason.

For the most part Shylock were a three piece band who brought in some gues…

Wildness
Lighting flashes through the ether and rain whips the earth violently. From the innermost depths, the pale of candles, a constancy. A midnight torrent overflows and marks time in solitude. The cold air searches, sewing through the ground, slowly changing and irresolute, nothing is lost. Paths are drawn contorted by fierce winds that traverse the ground in uncertain times and places. Oreder flows through chaos, every step of the spiral is forever surging and altered, yet everlasting. In a space, …
Sekihi Oidori
An abandoned silence. Dreams of drifting, living a fatefull solitude. Wrapped around a grey and foaming voice, reaping impulse and mass like forgotten beats. Lost to countless days and nights, rocks and soil, sand and stars, in the sadness of being standing apart.
Remember the rising flame from time long ago, a sound thqat shook deeply from the bottim of a boiling ocean. On e voice of Mother Magma, formless lava fashioned a primeval landscape. Ash, smoke and seething seas, a red-hot avalanche ca…
