Delayed departure from Sample City for the FLK project!

Pretty sure if lawyers are involved and have slowed the release of anything today from The FLK then it isnt actually a KLF project.. but strangely that makes me like it more. They said this on Facebook today; "We apologise for the delayed departure of the 21.06 from Sample City. This is due to lawyers on the line." And then they released this track for free download on a Sundcloud page! Its a well good track, really not what I was expecting!

We Know Where The Time Goes: 21.6.2011

So this Tuesday something happens and we find out if this is a KLF return of some kind, keep your eyes and ears pinned to The FLK site. I wrote about this band on the Mishka bloglin here.

Pyramids Of Mu - new tracks!

Blam and like that you check a Soundcloud page and everything's changed! Pyramids Of Mu have two new tracks uploaded and the sonic landscape of their catalogue increases, listen to the old-school new-school wonder of it all! Rave Egyptian style to Khufu's sun god madness!

Pyramids Of Mu: enter the Pharaohs!

Pyramids Of Mu are a band wrapped in amazing-ness, part drag/zombie rave sounds part 90s rave, part Witch House but only just, this is proper slow grooves and doom beats from honest to god Egyptian 90s ravers alive for 2012 and the re-organization of the tectonic plates as the sun and stars align to destroy mankind. Rejoice, repent, reinvent and remix, the soundtrack to the end is truly here, this is the rave you wanted, these are not the droids you were looking for, back to the old school, acid tweets and 808s, Soviet time travellers hand in hand with the Pharaohs, in with the new, out with the blades, re-use and recreate the sounds of yore and herald the coming spring, the sand storm is upon us, hail the sun god, onwards to Glastonbury!

▲NGST - Still Grim Up North!

A few days ago I got sent an email promoting an album called "Still Grim Up North" by an artist called ▲NGST. Now as a big KLF fan this really caught my eye and I quickly downloaded the complimentary free Bandcamp download of the album and set about researching the band.. Hoping beyond hope that this could be a new KLF project in secret!
After a few Google-ings and click throughs I still haven't got much to go on. ▲NGST hails from "Rotterdoom" in the Netherlands and is an artist creating long ambient, doomy, claustrophobic dance music that he labels "Witch house, spirit tech, doomcore and doomgaze"

Still Grim Up north is the "first release (under this alias) by ▲NGST". (So, you know, this is still feeding my KLF fantasies! - first release under this "alias"!)
Just released on the 26th November as limited cassette edition on the now restarted 90's cassette label Orange Socks its also available to buy for €5 from the wreckhavoc shop online here or as a download for €2 from Bandcamp here.

This album is up close and intense, slow and Witch Housey like ✝ DE△D VIRGIN ✝, Untitled ___N___ or ✝ NO VIRGIN ✝, ambient and evil and trip hop like, if trip hop was all about huffing glue and shooting babies. And at points it goes in a slight Breakcore direction with some intense Gabba-esque drum shots. The ▲NGST Myspace is sparse but has all the top Witch House bands like Salem, Mater Suspiria Vision, White Ring etc, as top friends to show (I guess) the angle this project is coming from.

Now after some careful observation I feel that this could be the new project by someone like Dutch jungelist FFF, or someone similar, like its a break away side project or some such.

It's all good intriguing stuff! It is still grim up north and this is a soundtrack to that reality, face the cold winds down and warm the ears in giant headphones as this album wrenches you from any warmth and comfort to a land of ultimate doom.
