Previous reviews:

Red Electric Rainbow on Altered Zones::
Daniel D. Smith, aka Red Electric Rainbow, has an extensive catalog that spans dozens of cassettes, CD-Rs, and digital releases. Thankfully, Aguirre Records is on the verge of releasing a proper vinyl debut. Recorded using mostly a Nord Lead 2; the album bubbles with textures that lend themselves easily to fans of Oneohtrix, Mist, Outer Space, and the current crop of cosmic travelers traversing the analog plain. Tipped with a bit of loneliness, Dark Days slips into a bittersweet euphoria that's both blissful and yet paralyzingly solitary. Daniel, a fixture in the Chicago/Midwest experimental set, is organized last year's Neon Marshmallow Festival along with Matt Kimmel of Acid Marshmallow video blog. As with the Sean McCann LP, this one will be available soon from Aguirre themselves and stateside shortly from Tomentosa, Aquarius and Mimaroglu. --Andy French, Raven Sings The Blues

Repetile Brain - Dinosaur review on Brainwashed.com:
The two pieces on the cassette both investigate the variety of tones that can be wrought from analogue synthesizers. The bubbling and racing sounds Fogarty extracts from his synths on side A gives a feeling of traveling at speed through a kaleidoscope. Some of Fogarty’s style is instantly recognizable from his work in Boys of Summer but he expands his palette significantly throughout this and the subsequent piece. Ray guns, radiation, tractor beams, force fields and teleporters: these are the kind of images that come to mind listening to Dinosaur.

Side B is an altogether warmer piece as dozens of balmy loops and layered melodies compete with each other; the mix boiling like a primordial soup during a storm. Suddenly the chaos gives way to a wet, pulsing noise which steadily increases in its intensity. The piece eventually returns to a similar kind of kosmische-influenced sound-scape like on side A.

While Dinosaur does not shift Boys of Summer from the top of my favorite Fogarty-related projects, it does pack enough punch to be a serious contender. Both sides of the tape show enough variation and tonal development to place Reptile Brain beyond the categorization of simple noise. There is more in common here with music from the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop than with the contemporary noise scene; granted this is not that unusual but Fogarty does it with a lot of class.

Paul Vogel - Godwit Songs C30


You may know him from euroboys, Chipshopmusic or 2009's Phil Durrant, Lee Patterson, Paul Vogel - Buoy but if you don't, let me introduce Dublin's monster of microsound, the lord of lowercase, PAUL VOGEL! (crowd goes wild)Making his munfam debut with some Messaienic songs about the Godwit! Poo-tee-weet? Poo-tee-weet?

Paul Vogel is an improviser based in Ireland. His original instruments were piano and clarinet, but in recent years, he has incorporated electronics into his set up. He was a member of the Bristol Musicians Co-op in the late seventies and is currently co-curator (with David Lacey) of i-and-e, an organisation which promotes improvised and contemporary music in Dublin. He has composed music for radio and contemporary dance groups and has worked with Phil Durrant, Angharad Davies, Lee Patterson, Keith Rowe, David Lacey, Toshi Nakamura and Mark Wastell, amongst others. He has released recordings on Cathnor, Confront and Homefront.

The Red Electric / Reptile split sounds right on. Copies making their way down to Plug'd. Also, asked this on the last thread, but any sign of some Munfam Cork shows?
