Īl Riggs – I Got A Big Electric Fan to Keep Me Cool While I Sleep – A great triumph of a country album. The album ends in a cavalcade of high-pitched dreamlike notes repeating, giving you the feeling that you just imagined everything that your ears just heard. It almost sounds like he was using a turntable while mixing it. The way the break beats in “Year of the Sleeper” hit are absolutely to die for. Tracks like “Bronze Stoker” and “Lumberjacks on LSD” sound like the beginning of early b-movie sci-fi films launched through the soundscape of hip-hop beats. I can’t help but hear “Advanced Candle Magick” as being a long-lost sister track to “Call of the Zombie” off of Rob Zombie’s Hellbilly Deluxe. “Tomb with a View” could make for an excellent beat for a rapper to take to the next level, but also completely works as its own piece. The album begins with “The Doctor Dances in the White Room” and is filled with break beats and what sounds like horns blaring, setting the table for the wild half-hour ride you’re going to take.

Go look those up and enjoy as you would like to, but read on to dig, hopefully deep, into things you may have missed in the second quarter of 2021.ġ00 Psychic Dreams – Bronze Stroker – An electronic masterpiece that John Carpenter would be proud of.ġ00 Psychic Dreams latest album was made a ton of different synthesizers and sounds like it came from the future via the ’80s and soundtracks the best horror movie you’ve never seen. Vincent’s early 70’s homage, the reimagined Paul McCartney album with guests, Olivia Rodrigo’s debut, black midi’s sophomore effort, Garbage’s late-career effort, Japanese Breakfast’s beloved latest upbeat album, yet another release from King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and at the last minute of the quarter the latest album from Tyler, The Creator. Like last time I won’t be including things you will probably have read about ad nauseum such as Lucy Dacus’s third album, Bachelor’s debut, St. As usual, there is just too much music that comes out to remember it all. Some albums I forgot from the first quarter include the stunning fifth album Ignorance by The Weather Station, the glorious debut Thanks For Coming by Princess Goes To The Butterfly Museum, the guest-filled The Shadow of Their Suns by Wax Tailor, the very groovy and heady Pacific Kiss by Rat Columns, Th1rt3en and Pharoahe Monch coming together for the powerful A Magnificent Day For An Exorcism, the very danceable debut album Times by SG Lewis, the serene vibes of Everything Happens For A Reason by Greens, and a very cool compilation put together by Astralwerks and Blue Note Records called Bluewerks Vol 1 (as well as Volume 2 out during the second quarter). We aren’t quite back to regular life, but it feels like we’re trending in the right direction. Well here we are at the end of the second quarter and its summer, so we can celebrate right? People are getting vaccines, seeing loved ones, hanging outside together in parks, maybe seeing some outdoor shows. Shows have started again and while I have been photographing some and staying on top of those assignments, other things, such as this article fell behind. The well-balanced sound makes itĮasy to discover something new with each spin of the record, almost like looking up to the stars through a telescope.Before we dive in I would like to apologize for being a couple of weeks late with this. The album was recorded at Dickfehler Studio in east frisia by Hanno Janßen, who also recorded the band’s last LP Dickfehler Studio Treffen I (Dronerock Records, 2020). The clarity and transparency in the artwork can also be found in the sound of this record. The clean artwork, which was again made by Anton Ohlow, who also created the artwork for Modul 12, shows the direction towards which the Kombynat is heading. The music is still improvised, yet there’s clearly a different vibe in these tracks than in the band’s earlier records. While the band’s live performances are always a unique experience of longform-jams that slowly evolve, Kombynat Robotron take a different approach on this record. Perspectives on space, four deep looks into the universe. Compton, Chandra, Spitzer and Hubble are four different


The album contains four mostly improvised tracks, each named after a space-telescope. After their vinyl debut Modul 12 (2019), -270☌ is Kombynat Robotrons second release through Tonzonen Records.
