“Formed of vinyl diggers, street musicians and self-taught aficionados, Estrada Orchestra started out as a spontaneous jam band in 2013. Their only intention was to enjoy leisure time and keep an open mind; unknowingly they ended up pioneering the return of jazz-funk in Estonia.”
“Heterodox and digressive musicians, they move freely between the repetition of krautrock and techno, jazz, experimental music and other new musical categories, João Pais Filipe and Julius Gabriel create radio-graphic sounds that inhabits somewhere between the reception and the emission of a signal, like a cosmic telephone exchange.”
“A loose collective making ambient spacerock based around the 5 principal players of guitarists Aidan Baker and Eric Quach and drummers Felipe Salazar, David Dunnett, and Jeremie Mortier.”
“Automatism is a Stockholm-based improvised rock band. We search for moments when music plays itself without effort and try to capture them on record.”
Previously unreleased jams by French krautrock band Pataphysician Orchestra recorded at Apostolic Studios, New York, in 1970.
“Ashinoa is a krautrock dementia that fans of the genre will recognize. An artistic atavism in the footsteps of the post-Stockhausen generation, a kind of round table of geniuses Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk, Neu!), Edgar Froese (Tangerine Dream), Schulze (Ash Ra Tempel)… but also a kosmische musik of modern times, with a touch of electronic influences in the most experimental way.”
“Psychic Lemon Freak Mammal is a space-rock odyssey with long compositions with dense guitar effects, synth, bass and live drums. These songs are like rockets ripping through the atmosphere.”
“Their sound is influenced by both their love for Krautrock legends such as Can and Neu!, and the band members being self-professed “repetition freaks” who heavily listen to minimal techno. The music proceeds straightforwardly with the Motorik beat (Hammer beat), devised by Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk, Neu!), as its central axis. Humorous, yet bizarre Japanese lyrics are whispered over a hard, cold beat that is maniacally repeated, creating a pleasant ambience of electronic pulses drifting in space. Sharp guitar tones reminiscent of Michael Karoli (Can) occasionally explode into fuzz distortion, on the verge of collapse.”
“International Munich based Krautrock fusion supergroup fronted by Klaus Weiss. They made a dreamy, yet powerful fusion with an abundance of solos, extensively featuring Belgian guitarist Philip Catherine on the debut.”
