ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB - SKELP / GINNEL (TRENSMAT 009)
Its been said that Neil Campbell has provided the map co-ordinates for much of what passed for a post-punk UK underground during the late 80s and 90s. His Astral Social Club material shimmers and throbs in a truly psychedelic manner as it fuses textural drones and the kraut-influenced electronic pulsing & sputtering beats.
This 7" sees the Astral traveler moving into further realms and putting a capital 'C' on club, with two tracks fuelled by deranged strobe rhythms. Frenetic fizzing beats are fused with searing slow-build drones of bowed strings & flickering synthesized riffs. The sounds are alive & glistening - rich reverberant like technicolor cascades underpinned by wonkey mesmerizing rhythms. An endless spaced out groove pouring out of the sound system on some alien dancefloor.
The additional CD features some amazing remixes from Richard Youngs, John Clyde-Evans and Magnetize as well as the two tracks on the 7".
Limited edition package of numbered yellow vinyl 7" and CD. In full colour wraparound picture sleeve.

THE SHINING PATH - LIVE AT THE VOLTAIRE COMMUNE (TRENSMAT 010)
The Shining Path is the 'rock band' version of minimalist duo Ilya Monosov and Preston Swirnoff. Like This Heat or Metabolist, The Shining Path are a Can/Faust-loving group that also exhales expansive psychedelic guitar excess with hints of Greg Ginn and the High Rise discography while tripping balls to a violent, throbbing, not-always-sosteady, Suicide-like rhythm.
The 7" contains two raw, noisy, ecstatic live recordings from some of the very rare live shows The Shining Path played in San Diego in 2005. Both tracks are raw and relentless ... a taste of what can happen when punks get psychedelic. A blown out krautrock, wild noise space rock frenzy, some baffling mix of Can, Hawkwind, High Rise and Suicide - melting minds and destroying speakers.
The additional multimedia CD features the two 7" tracks along with another livetrack, 'Full Throttle Lover', and four exclusive videos of The Shining Path playing live. Highly recommended viewing!
