Comment: this batch of a couple of tracks being released on Petroglyph Music is illustrated with the cover print of a girl being wrapped up in blue and green-tinged reveries. Part 2 is a sultry blend of hypnagogic techno rhythms, meandering spaced-out synths over a maiden's suggestive vowels as if a dreamy version of krautrock (which is called Kosmische Musik then and the revamped, stark hypnagogic elements paved version of it as dreamwave now). Its exquisite iterative pattern is simply overwhelming. Part 1 shows off more muscles due to a more pounding, incisive rhythmic bone which is surrounded by hypnotic iterations on synths and faint field recording vapor and volatile girlish murmurs. In a word, it is an outstanding release with a practical, remedial power. Try it as the tincture to fall asleep. There is another world, there is a better world. (And if you wake up thereafter then continue with Amon Düül II's Mozambique which does provide an astounding proto-Stereolab feel).
