Details

Long overdue repress of this seminal release from the evergreen Motorpsycho, this is one of their landmark 90s albums. We are getting some of the new limited (180gr) repress on gold vinyl. This was their 6th album release from 1997. Far reaching modern psychedelic rock / pop / noise from the masters!! This album saw them melding their heavy post-grunge noise prog sound to a more Sonic Youth inspired avant pop sheen to great effect. Songs likes Sideway Spiral / Walking on Water were bombastic pop tunes amongst some of the most proficient and exhilarating instrumentation of the bands career to date.. A highly recommended album!!!

DAN MELCHIOR BAND - 'NEGATIVE FREEDOM'

Details

Recorded in Philadelphia in late 2016, Negative Freedom encapsulates the moment when the horrible truth was just beginning to sink in. “Everything got broken while I was looking the other way” sings Dan Melchior on “Negative Freedom” and perhaps that’s a relatable sentiment. Elsewhere Melchior’s ever-withering gaze settles on prima donna self-googlers in “They Insulted Me In Mojo” and self-serving promoters get their own anthem in “A Nice Holiday”—”Be careful of enthusiasts who want you to play their island” sings Melchior, with a sense of weary experience that makes the song seem like it might just be autobiographical. The rhythm section on this recording consists of two former members of Taiwan Housing Project (Adam Charles Cooper on bass and Pat Ganley on drums). They manage to lay down a solid but decidedly streamlined groove that perfectly compliments the songs. “This Is One” utilizes a re-discovered drum track laid down by the legendary Letha Rodman Melchior to great effect
