"One of our favorite records this week is the 3 Leafs self-released Space Rock Tulip LP. These guys have apparently been kicking around the bay area for some time now, but this is the first we've heard from them. These guys play hypnotic, kraut-y, spacerock with the best of 'em. There are Can-style motorik rhythms, Hawkwind style-synth washes, and improvised sounding ethno-free-jazz jams all over this thing and we're digging it."-- Permanent Records, Chicago IL
"This stuff is awesome. Blissed out, effects flecked krauty space rock, heavy on the drift and shimmer and meander. Strings buzz, sounds swoop and stutter backwards, the drums are simple and motorik, synths whir, flutes flutter, the group slips from full on heart of the sun space jam, to Circle-esque hypnorock, to ethereal almost ambient groove, to Eastern style ur-drone to Santana sounding Latin tinged psychedelic rock to heavy tripped out metallic sounding stoner rock freakouts to full on trippy dubbiness, all woven into one extended and nearly seamless druggy outrock sprawl."--Aquarius Records, San Francisco, CA

Forgetting in order to remember

A hum or a scrape sends out shivers. Forms and ideas scatter in my head, bats twitching away from light. The sound is lightness. I add some ideas to the sound. Metallic scrapes shimmer in the dark, ca...

nothing and nothingness

the true form of music is without form. la verdadera forma de la música es sín forma. as such music should be the science least concerned with form. yet today the trend is increasing formalization. ti...

are creation and destruction the same things?

binary oppositions are not as useful as they appear at the outset. seemingly isolated, the forces that took the mountain top off also raised this odd little replacement. does it deserve the name beque...

interior landscapes

The purpose that has been set before us by the shape of things is to reveal that interior landscape that is so intrinsic to all of us, yet so far removed from our rote existence as forced upon us by m...

maximalism

what is maximalism? it is not, as might be imagined, the opposite of minimalism. that would be baroque. it is minimalism expanded to its greatest size; more the movements of galaxies, rather than the ...
