Comment: Joxfield ProjeX as a project of a couple of lost musicians reappeared approximately 10 years ago under a Moscow-based cult imprint, Clinical Archives. Indeed, Janne Yan Andersson and Stefan Oax Ek started making music together approximately a half century ago until going to hiatus for decades. It sounds like once upon a time in Sweden… chiming like a fairy tale of the heroes of living much longer than the average human being. For sure, their music will do it. After releasing a bunch of albums under the Russian imprint they went on by issuing a couple of EPs on their own (Tin Can Music) and then they changed “commercial” by signing a deal with the French cult imprint Bam Balam and making collaboration with Cotton Casino, being known from a Japanese space rock juggernaut, Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. This set of 6 compositions comes out of their post-Clinical Archives period (also known as Archives (sic!)) although reflecting upon the same tendencies represented before. Their issues are always the same, always different. More detailedly, krautrock intensity on hirsute guitars and New Age-y and Kosmische Musik on spaced-out electronics with different threads within these 28 minutes set up a dynamic and colourful and vivid carnival-alike milieu. Emotionally it is a coherently ecstatic experience providing a stark remedy to get out of a hard day`s rubbish. However, there are up some more eclipsed compositions as well, Brana Funk Sun Ra, for instance. In a word, it is a top release analogically to the previous releases.
