Food Pyramid Plateaus  Wonderyou  WNDU005  CD 
|
The Psychedelic mystery trio Food Pyramid suddenly appeared from Minneapolis, Minnesota
- the home of Prince. An eccentric new type dance music that makes you instantly want to shout! They have previously released 3 cassette tapes from the great Moon Gryph label and this album Plateaus includes 11 tracks compiled out of these recordings. Their synthesizer melodies reminds us of CAN or NEU using funky four beats, muscular piano riffs and spacy ambient atmosphere which creates euphoria that blows your mind. The tracks sounds are bold and wild indeed yet very technical proving their skills. No doubt, you can get visceral satisfaction out of this excellent official debut album leaving you with a feeling wanting to know more what this band is about.  01. Last Shuttle To The Red Planet 03.

Will Samson Hello Friends, Goodbye Friends PLOP PLOP11 CD
|
Will Samson was born in England, raised in Australia, currently residing in Berlin, Germany.
His grandmother was born in Chile (to a Jewish mother) and grandfather was born in India
(to an Italian father) which describes his multi-national background and an evoking desire to search for his identity.
At the age of 19, he takes a long journey through the parts of Asia and the Himalayas.
Trekking and watching the sunrise from behind the holy mountain... all those experiences has inspired him
heavily to return to England and start his music career.
"Hello Friends, Goodbye Friends" is his breathtaking debut album full of these beautiful and desolate moments,
just as life can be described as a travel. Over the myriads of haunting and echoing guitar and piano sounds,
he whispers and sings wistfully as if singing from high above the clouds leaving us not with desperation but
with a perfect peaceful impression.
