Here's a link for an amazing video to see and hear the truth: http://youtu.be/_fEKDvBRql8

On side B Seven Lies About Girls plumbs the primal unconcious, wading through blackened waves and feral blasts.

MILLION BRAZILIANS
"Sexual Desert" CS/CDr

Million Brazilians are no strangers to Kansas City as half of them used to live here and now reside in Portland, Oregon where there is no shortage of free thinking and experimental music inspired by nature and the environment it's self. "Sexual Desert" is a continuation in their "New Ideas for Psychic Music" series, this being a conceptual journey through the desert sweating out sexual vibrations by way of free improvisation. The music will no doubt lift you to the inner hallucinations of tribal squandering and frantic ritual out-of-body experiences if you let it. Recorded last year in Kansas City while on their US tour by Ashley Miller.

HIDEOUS VISIONS OF MILLION BRAZILIANS
PSR001

$10 plus postage

Brazilians lay down raucous romps and sprawling stomps to treat the senses and trick the mind. Hailing from Portland, OR, they simmer in a timeless marketplace of aural stimuli, imbibing influences from an expansive and esoteric network of tantric sounds that immerse the Old World around us.

Hideous Visions of the Million Brazilians is a psychedelic singles collection resulting in a mysterious and joyful noise - less a performance and more occult ritual. The drums and bass pound and throb under the guitar thwack and sax allure. It's a sound you hear wafting through the darkened wood as you slowly drift on down through whatever those waters are that flow around you; pulsing and chanting.

-limited press of 547

-beautiful fold out screen printed cover

-contains 12"X12" leaflet, several strange messages and Psychic Sounds Manifesto pt. 1

-a randomly selected screen print of U.S. East or West Coast tour poster

CULT MUSIC OF AJITZ
Music by Million Brazilians
PSR003

$15 plus postage
The controversial Guatemalan folk lore figure Ajitz is a shaman (healer) to some and red brujo (witch) of ill deeds to others. Some say that when holy men were being murdered in the name of Christianity during the Spanish conquest of Guatemala, the Ajitz disappeared into the jungle for preservation carrying a lantern, axe and doll in his own image and reemerged years later evoking to banish evil spirits, providing devotees with spiritual protection and cursing those that dare threaten the lives of his people.

Million Brazilians share with you an all acoustic interpretation of the Ajitz tale consisting of stewed trance of hand drums, horns, unique percussion, shakers, machetes and a few surprises!

-Limited Press of 123 copies
-Beautiful screen printed cover
-Includes 8 pg research booklet on history of Ajitz
-Running Time: 55 min.

NEVER USE THE SAME DOOR TWICE

Recordings and Drawings by Corum

PSR006-a

- Listen here: http://corum.bandcamp.com/

-12" Lp - Limited Edition of 150

-Includes a 2’ X 3’ black and white double sided screen printed storyboard poster

-Packaging in heavy duty handmade Folkways style leather-like sleeve/ Screen printed cover-Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk at Stereophonic Mastering (Mississippi Records/ Sublime Frequencies)

“A creepy, daring and resplendent work constructs a mind-melting psychopharmacological vision wherein rhythms and melodies ooze into and out of focus. And when those signposts disappear, a gentle drone or spacey bit of heavily processed trumpet slides right in to take their place.There are movements to it that could be boiled down to individual tracks, but, like a good LSD trip, you are much better off not trying to force any strictures upon Never Use. You’re far better off letting the music unfold on its own terms. Actuel Records-catalog-as-remixed-by-Coil simmer.” -Robert Ham, WW

“Occult magick, sequential art, books on tape, and cut-up literature—Fake Hospital Information Office and Group Operators, the mixed-media experiment of Million Brazilian’s Grant Corum, is at the intersection of all these and more. Evoking images of ancient ceremony, spectral phenomena, and early dungeon-crawling RPGs, Fake Hospital Book I was designed as a “reality hacking” operation in which Corum attempts “to forge spirits within experimental arts and performance.” Essentially a story told through music, projection, and narrated dream states, Corum bewitches the senses and guides the listener through an adventure unlike any other.” -chriscantino, The Mercury

“A middle-eastern trance panic pandemonium; clarinet, bamboo flutes, delay pedals and pulsating loops woven masterfully and magickally to coalesce in an event horizon of moment, slo-motion movement, reality running backwards, like flickering celluloid, stained technicolor with a psychedelic light show. Brian Jones would have been utterly stoked, as these two fine fellows brought a hint of vines and the rustle of bird-calls to the damp chilly evening. I could practically feel the Jaguar's breath, on the back of my neck.”

- live account by http://jsheaven

“Look at track density. Modified accordion or hurdy-gurdy. Light tablas on rhythm. Tuned bronze bowls. Large consonant unison structures, heavy washes of elemental and essential harmonizing layering behind melodic focal note forms. Bird, rattlers, flute or clarinet. As good as the rather good Philip Glass. Where???s the utopic philosophy of harmonics? This stuff is good! Eric Dolphy through Pharaoh Sanders through Philip Glass. It is too easy to say simply Muslimgauze.”

-Limited Edition of 147

-Includes essay on the Cybergenetic Fugue State and the meaning of 10:10.

Birthed as Bill Doob, Inspired School of Astral Music is Sam Jones of Million Brazilians, who also played drums in a few Kansas City bands before departing for Portland a few years ago. The synth-driven solo project of Jones' captures minimal synth explorations in the tradition of Brian Eno's "Ambient" series, early New Age explorer's and moments of Terry Riley's tape loop melodies. More of a conceptual project that also features essays with each release and concentrating on deep meditation and out-of-body experiences, ISAM will surely bring the calm, float your brain and drift your body.

SPECTACLE OF LIGHT ABDUCTIONS

pacific city sound visions 001

After many years as half of the highly influential Skaters with James Ferraro, 2 solo albums on Olde English Spelling Bee (Black Joker and Monopoly Child Star Searchers) and countless tapes and cd's, Stimpson Clark has taken it to the next level. Layers of cosmic and alien sounds inhabit their own world and act as metaphors you can access subconsciously or explicitly. Clearer and more lucid than previous releases of his, this is a singular record of inner space exploration that operates completely outside the retro kraut-new age-synth trend so prevalent right now. Being more hi-fi than his past recordings, Stimpson says "I have made an Alien Space Fusion Music that is an Aural Symbol for the pre-birth outer space-self's new Arrival." In this new zone, Stimpson channels a more personal and spacious side of his vision, combining the rhythmic side of Monopoly Child with the abstractions of his Vodka Soap project. 12 full color pages of art, text and photos in the full size lp format. This marks the first lp release on Clark's Pacific City Sound Visions label. It stands as his biggest statement yet and will surprise and please. A beautiful record. Now it's yours to explore.

-Masted by Timothy Stollenwerk at Stereophonic
-Limited Edition of 500

Beguiling Isles: Born of Earth's Torments Limited Edition of 200 12" LP with screenprinted packages by Corum Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk  "Psychic Sounds is very pleased to announce the highly anticipated release of Corum's exotic trance score for his touring short film Beguiling Isles: Born of Earth's Torments. Beautiful melodies waft in and out of your consciousness like a humid island ether. It's a travelogue, hypnotizing and also lulling. It's easy to fall under Corum's island spells producing sweaty aural excitement and imagining the "Specter of Polar Reversal", as described in the liner notes, twinkling it's eye before the volcanic explosion of horns, drums and keys lay down a lush rush of eerie tropical groove.

Limited Edition of 200 12" LP with screenprinted packages by Corum. Highly Recommended!

  "This outfit has a distinctive middle-eastern flair, occupying the Interzone, known to play with dream machine, this time they had projections of burning incense, a cloaked figure. Jefferson played clarinet with delay, White Gourd sax and the same, with Corum laying down a Marrakesh flea-market beat, crunchy distorted tape beats, like Muslim Gauze in his prime. They brought the root down stomp, swaying like cobra charmers. The room was as full as i'd ever seen it, everyone was mesmerized. The group consciousness rayed and sparked like Quicksilver spray, and i was reminded, with fresh eyes"-j's heaven "We were shacked up in a roughly bound hotel in Panajachel , Guatemala. One the guys staying a few doors down was an ex-military conspiracy buff. His walls were covered with cheap copied sheets of info on Reptoids, the Devil's Sea, Snake Cults of Lake Atitlan and a heavy stack about Enoch; A scantily clad teenage boy lounging on an old mattress puffed on huge doob laughing every time the man told us his seamless string of research about how the Nephilim (fallen Enoch Angel Giants) hadn't died in biblical flood of Noah and how their spirits still lingered now and have since grown more powerful within the deep complexes of human greed - and that once again the Earth with reset it's plates through Polar Shifting in order to reset humanities error and bury the Giants. The story sent me on a year long, and going, research into lost continent theory mixed with copious amounts of exotic jams.

(photo by Rebecca Price)

"Suzanne Stone as 'White Gourd' is US Pacific Northwest's hidden treasure. Known for her abrasive sax & voice in the esoteric jazz trio Million Brazilians, Stone approaches her unique solo performances as White Gourd from a very different angle often involving dreamy saxophone, neo-Nico vocals and haunting key textures as a ritual tapestry of tarot-influenced blessings. 'Hermit La Lune', her latest LP on Psychic Sounds, contains a very eerie spectral landscape from which sings spells of solitude and seasonal cycles over waves of bells, water animal wails, sword sharpening and etheric piano work seamlessly through this timeless witchy advancement.

EXPERIMENTAL INDIA RADIO

Corum presents Experimental India Radio:

"Swara Exchanges 1939 - present:

External Service began with a broadcast counter private station performances fit for use by a Broadcaster launched as a link between Inner Frequencies to the rest of the world, later adopting Experimental India Radio as on-air name for independence. EIR is a service accessible through networks by using Akashvani - "celestial announcement" or "sky sound"). It operates on a different shortwave band frequency through live presentations for each city, especially in countries with broadcasts on matters of national and international importance, and demonstrates the experimental way of life through its use of transmitted Indian instrument invention, trance devotions, and comedy programs. EIR audio cassettes (which are sought-after by international radio hobbyists) are issued personally by EIR for reception reports of their broadcasts.

Bazaar of India "

"2012 was a busy year for Corum, Million Brazilian's horn and sampling specialist, releasing 6 full length albums as a variety of monikers (Beguiling Isles, Fake Hospital, etc.), and now some new mystery collaboration with Idaho Joe Windslow whom within his own right is Oakland's mad scientist of homade instrument tweaking such as the 'Gongtar' and a Shiva-like harness that plays 6 singing bowls. Now the two have launched Experimental India Radio, an imaginary transmission of serpentine rhythms, homade string wafts driven by crunchy tabla beats and wailing animal calls? At best EIR reminds me of Throbbing Gristle's 'Heathen Earth' transmission through the airwaves of a remote Indian radio tower or some exiled Bollywood horror movie soundtrack.

G.I. GURDJIEFF:
IMPROVISATIONS

Stunningly beautiful harmonium improvisations recorded in 1949 by spiritualist G.I. Gurdjieff. Many who heard these performances live, found themselves crying uncontrollably. After this cathartic listening experience they reached a place where they felt happy and whole. We hope this record can bring a similar experience to the modern day listener. It doesn't get much more pure than this. Cover is silkscreened with metallic gold ink.
A co-release withMississippi Records.

ORDER HERE: PSYCHIC SOUNDS SHOPPE

"Gorgeous harmonium improvisations from 1949 by Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff a Greco-Armenian mystic and philosopher who was an influential spiritual teacher of the early to mid-20th century who taught that the vast majority of humanity lives their entire lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep," but that it was possible to transcend to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential.

These harmonium improvisations date from his last musical period, during which these improv sessions took place following dinners Gurdjieff held in his Paris apartment during the Nazi Occupation and the immediate post-war years.

As usual, Mississippi (+ Psychic Sounds) goes all out and offers this great music in a black and gold silkscreened jacket."

DEEP EARTH / BEYOND
2009-2012
( Digital Download )

Sometimes a crisis arrives in a package the size of a pizza box, and if you perchance happen to be a airline baggage handler then that pizza arrives a goddamn jumbled mess of shattered cheesy-dreams. Somewhere in the return trip from point A (Chicago) to point B (Portland) after our last recording session, some airline thug made short work of the Deep Earth sampler AKA “Lil Dude”. There are much worse situations in the world, but there are also much better. This little guy was our sampler, drum machine, sequencer, MIDI brain, and general glue that held all of the chaos together. And no piece of “gear” should be indispensable to the creative pursuit, maybe in the same way that no drug should be indispensable to buffering our reality, but the truth of the matter is that sometimes they're just nice to have around.

That being said they're trying to raise any amount of money to contribute to the $500 price tag on the replacement. In doing so they're offering up almost the entirety of the Deep Earth and Beyond (Shaver of Million Brazilians) back catalogs in MP3 format for any donation amount whatsoever via Paypal.

We've never officially released any of these in digital format. You name what it's worth to you and we'll email you 8 albums worth of jams and hopefully raise enough money to buy ~~drugs~~ a sampler to make 8 more albums with!

Albums Included:

Deep Earth - "Corridors" Cassette (2009)
Deep Earth - "Soundsystem 2010" Cassette (2010)
Deep Earth - "Nachtmusik" LP (2011)
Deep Earth - "House of Mighty" Cassette (2011)

Not unlike most strong ensemble compositions and improvisations, Million Brazilians succeed by placing their vision ahead of individual, standout contributions."

The result is a mysterious and joyful noise for the youth - less a performance and more occult ritual. The drums and bass pound and throb under the guitar thwack and sax allure. It is a sound you hear wafting through the darkened wood as you slowly drift on down through whatever those waters are that flow around you, pulsing and chanting... A wonderful collection of all the hard to find early tape cassette singles envisioned and rerecorded in a studio setting. Highly recommended!"

Idaho Joe Windslow is the inventor of the gongtar (cello with gong resonator), singing bowl gamelan (which is played standing with a back brace of mannequin arm singing bowl holders),
and the voxtar (amplified sympathetic string fixture excited by voice).

MILLION BRAZILIANS:

WET DRY JUNGALA
12" LP

ORDER COPIES HERE

"Million Brazilians sound like a corps not of this hemisphere, but one influenced by its discoveries via travel and/or scouring the deep web.

Separated into nine untitled compositions, Wet Dry Jungala clings with a humidity mostly foreign to the North Americas. It’s not to be mistaken for the escapist brand of tropicalia - the sort that inspires relaxation and cabana service - but rather the hysteria of eight days in the desert, the spiritual exhaustion of following a shaman into a sweat lodge, and the endurance of trudging through a rainforest bog, swatting off mosquitos.

Save for the ominous western Americana of “Untitled VI”, Million Brazilians transfix to the percussive drone of Eastern worship hymns, and an experimental flare for complicating their world music into claustrophobic depths of psychedelia.“Untitled V” mimics the bass groan of bullfrogs against rough transmissions of spoken word. Terrifying shrieks and yips like those of post-punk heroines past are pitted against free jazz skronk and tribal trance on “Untitled IV”. Once referred to as “dungeon jazz”, Million Brazilians’ Wet Dry Jungala denies pigeonholing with each untitled passage."

Musician and artist Ryan Fontaine is known for his production on early 2000 midwest punk bracket nasties Rotten Living and Impractical Cockpit, however here he conjures up personal creeping rhythms of a nightside city wandering soundtrack for the newly formed Urarider, featuring Claire Hubbard (Caethua) and Naomi Joy (Mother of Fire), to breathe beautiful, yet chilling, tales of traveling the darker regions of the human soul to bring back this burning gem.

12" LP

www.psychicsounds.com/product/corum-effigy-mounds-12-lp

PREORDER HERE

After returning from Crow Dog's Paradise in Pine Ridge, Corum encircled Effigy Mounds (II), or Ceremonial Music for Spore Alter, a post Summer Solstice flesh offering response to the symbiotic relationship of ritual music and nature as witness to the cyclical worship songs of day and night while in attendance. Following the primordial volcanic spirits*of Beguiling Isles (I), this second album, in a series of nine, plays back like a hallucinatory cave field recording where snippets of tape were collaged to reveal the sound of a deep portal opening, by the influence of human's ingestion of early evolutionary compounds as "divine flesh"**, representing the change of mass consciousness. Less exotica and more experimental, this document makes the way for a dream vision of Panics in Mayfair (III), or dance of the hermaphroditic highland beasts.

UNHEARD INDONESIA: Pencak Silat Situbondo, East Java Trailer

❇❇❇❇❇

UNHEARD INDONESIA:
'Pancak Silat Situbondo'
East Java

Arrington de Dionyso and Lima Jari Sakti Rasyit

12" LP

"The latest in the ever expanding Psychic Sounds collection of sonic treasures is from around the world in East Java, Indonesia documented by artist and musician Arrington de Dionyso (Malaikat dan Singa / Old Time Relijun) during his travels. It focuses on music that accompanied a festival of Pancak Silat, which is a form of kung fu that is part combat form and part dance performance practiced in Java for many centuries with an element of trance that is reinforced by the fast paced repetitive music. This raw recording features a gloriously vibrant din of fiery double-reeded wind instruments, fierce cries, jubilant flutes, and an explosive bass clarinet which all whirl endlessly atop a bed of a dense and dizzyingly assemblage of bells, cymbals, gongs that truly stirs up a visceral and wild concoction of traditional folk music and mutated free jazz. It's all acoustic, but it sounds so loud and incredibly intense. The root sounds of the percussion will definitely sound familiar to listeners of Gamelan music but this is somehow even more manic and spirited. This may be the first ever recording of a bass clarinet crossing frequencies with this particular style of kung-fu music and it's experimental nature succeeds in creating a wild and gorgeous wonderland of exciting images that makes you want to dance, and trance out simultaneously; powerful and exhilarating! Certainly recommended for fans of the raw street recordings of Sublime Frequencies, Nonesuch Explorer series, Ethnic Lyrichord, Indonesian Folkways, or perhaps newer east-meets-free jazz. Like all Psychic Sounds releases, the artwork is as breathtaking as the music, gorgeously packaged in a full color sleeve, screenprinted by artist Corum, and includes a fold out insert with inspired drawings and liner notes by Dionyso as well. Utterly fantastic!"

EXPERIMENTAL INDIA presents:
MUMMY DUST TRIPPERS

Windslow& Corum:

12" LP

Experimental India's Mummy Dust Trippers aim to demonstrate the improvisational way of life through its use of transmitted sound inventions and trance devotions using such exotic instruments as electronic tabla, nagaswaram, shehnai, ecktar, sarangi, drones, and traditional scales. Bardic songs of hallucinations, synesthesia, tides of time and spider infested temples riddle this lysergic desert plane. Corum & Windslow began with private station performances and curated live presentations for each city as a link between their "Inner Frequencies" to the audiences. They later adopted Experimental India Radio as the on-air name for the original broadcast of a featured live radio session and interview that gave was to these new sessions.

VOLCANIC GREMLIN MAGNET

Million Brazilians &Thollem Electric

Order at Psychic Sounds Store

"Wonderfully weird collaboration, between avant free jazz tribalists Million Brazilians and legendary improvised pianist Thollem McDonas creating a combo of yet another freaky transmission from whatever otherworldly outpost these mysterious Portland free jazz & drone outsiders call home, and lordy, is it chaotic, throbbing and beautiful. Eerie wavering electric insect buzz delicately unfurl near the start, quiet and pretty... that gives way to a ceremonial gong call churning into a rhythmic jam of deep bass and cyclic hand drum groove, super fuzzed-out organ, angular guitar thwack, flute coloration, and wailing sax sometimes in perfect harmony, other times exploding into an eruption of turbulent jazz freak out truly sounding like a primordial opening of volcanic cavern. Within those various sounds, MB & Thollem, intentionally twist everything up, adding all kinds of evocative noises, woozy marimbas, mysterious rumbles, swirling jungle drums, sonic detritus of bells, shakers and ghostly calls that seem to unfold and flower and splinter into all sorts of different shapes and sounds as the set progresses forming some sort of scene like a Central American ritualistic exorcism into ecstatic celebration ending with a gorgeous distant flute calling. The Million Brazilian's sound have managed to be dangerously distinct and totally prolific, but completely enigmatic and underground at the same time. With Thollem's range between spastic gritty textures to enthralling minimalist pulsations of a well tempered synthesizer, "Volcanic Gremlin Magnet" creates a lush, expressive, and alien strain of jazz. It's a fantastic 54 minutes, all right! Highly Recommended!"

BEGUILING ISLES:

EFFIGY MOUNDS

by CORUM

"Ceremony Music for Spore Alter"
12" LP
ORDER HERE

"Beguiling Isles is the new solo project by Corum, the strange genius (?) behind psychedelic tribal jazz band Million Brazilians, who are up there with Smegma or Sun City Girls in the west coast weirdo world jazz punk pantheon. Beguiling Isles explores the same bizarre, otherworldly atmospheres as High Wolf, Monopoly Child Star Searchers, and Orphan Fairytale and and all the other similarly sounds made up of old samplers, mesmerizing loops, disintegrating tape manipulation, and damaged keyboards, and and like each of these artists, Beguiling Isles's Corum seems to take his moniker seriously creating a sound that evokes a mysterious isolation full of wondrous images.

Effigy Mounds features crunchy polyrhythmic electro-acoustic pulsations of tribal drums buried in atmospheric washes of flute solos and waves of distant drone-cloaked sounds. Sudden animal shrieks throughout the sinister fauna & flora glisten within streaks of reverb and delay, and notes ring out, chiming, combining the Million Brazilians style of arrhythmic drum n' brass stewed into a total freaky bliss for sure and is really quite listenable, too! There's definitely lots going on sonically, but Corum renders all that action in subtle shades, etheric voices, bouncing melodies, warm wind instruments and whatever might be part of the overall sound entering a whole new world once they're captured by his four track. Halfway through the A side, the movement shifts gears, and suddenly it's a full on drone, with warped shehnai (?) loops sounding like a swirling tornado of wailing subterranean bats creating a unified hypnotic call with wafts of strange bursts of organ warble, smeared into a meditative drift, that gradually gains momentum, transforming into a weirdly washed out hallucinogenic home brewed trance reminiscent of a Terry Riley "In C" style build up. Intense and aggressive and totally great sounds featured on the flipside; another rumpus romp through the haunted cavern of carefully constructed primal drum pulses peppered with droplets of dizzying flute notes, synths soar and sing, mysterious yelps bubbling up within the chaos churning a more powerfully possessive and pleasant sensation. While there is of course more ambient, moody elements of this disc, they take a backseat to the intensity of the blended rhythmic tribal drum patterns, whirling flute notes, industrial electronics and otherworldly chanting within dark tangled grooves of the electronic-ethnic noise jungle. It's a bit like sitting inside a hot cave, watching a frenzied procession, exchanging ritual calls back and forth, constantly altering within the fiery light of the ceremonial fire projecting dancing shadows that seem to tell a story from a subconscious chthonic plane.

In any event, Effigy Mounds is the next logical step in Corum's wild world of mystical tropical sonic minded lysergic soundscapes trilogy. Creepy and haunting and ominous but also strangely beautiful, and hell it still sounds like it could have been lifted straight from some lost Predator 2 or Serpent in the Rainbow soundtrack, which is in no way a bad thing. And it is frighteningly trance-inducing. It's kind of insane, kind of amazing. We like it, a lot."

PLACE OF THE HIDDEN SUN

tape cassette
on Lost Discoveries
ORDER AT PSYCHIC SOUNDS

“Place of the Hidden Sun is a minimal abstract mystery of human beatbox style hyper rhythmic arrangements weaved with strange fields of glimmering melody to create lo-fi spiraling pop ambience. Hailing from Milan, Italy, Adele H. uses looping repetitive flowing vocals worked into beautiful circular figures adding pulses of breath, claps and hand percussion paced on repeated short spoken pieces. There's so much going on, and the vocals are more like another instrument, like a more psychedelic, more augmented textual brilliance. Corum plays soft focus prismatic choral shimmers underpinned by woozy high end melodies molded into new warped shapes of sound. The result is is strangely hypnotic, not just the words, but the percussive elements of recorded female vocals that are transformed into beats sprinkled amorphous shards of choral synthesizer, creating weirdly meditative trancelike expanses. It's so easy to get totally lost, letting the words and sounds, the pulse and throb transport you to some strange world where sound and speech, music and words, blur into something wholly other.” - Chris Webb, for psychicsoundsrecordings.blogspot

****************************

BEGUILING ISLES:
TALES FROM THE VISION PIT
tape cassette
on Lost Discoveries
ORDER AT PSYCHIC SOUNDS

"A much anticipated follow-up to the earlier Effigy Mounds LP, Tales From The Vision Pit takes up where the Mounds left-off creating an atmosphere that is heady and devotional, with a dark, dramatic aspect that is profoundly effective. It could also be described as ‘musical surrealism’. Like the album’s interior artwork of drawings, the music creates hallucinatory effects as soundscapes by mixing sampled and heavily synthesized sounds with acoustic arrangements for a variety of instruments sounding like alien percussion, washes of chanting and dark constellations of bowed non-identifiable instrumentation building into amazingly euphoric moments. Corum’s approach draws upon diverse forms, including acoustic, drone music, sound collage, folk, and progressive rock joining the dots between primitive drums, outer space improvisation and travelogue field recordings that sustains the atmosphere across both sides while nodding to your favorite experimental albums throughout. Pretty much everything you could want from one his records is in here, and that final triumphal trumpet call-and-response by the end is one of the signature moments of his entire back catalogue. All copies come with a fold-out cover of drawings. Highly Recommended!"

EXPERIMENTAL INDIA
presents:
MUMMY DUST TRIPPERS

Winslow & Corum:

12" LP

Experimental India's Mummy Dust Trippers aim to demonstrate the improvisational way of life through its use of transmitted sound inventions and trance devotions using such exotic instruments as electronic tabla, nagaswaram, shehnai, ecktar, sarangi, drones, and traditional scales. Bardic songs of hallucinations, synesthesia, 'tides of time' and spider infested temples riddle this lysergic plane of music. Corum & Windslow began with 'private station performances' and curated live presentations for each city as a link between their "Inner Frequencies" to the audiences. They later adopted 'Experimental India Radio' as the on-air name for the original broadcast of a featured live radio session and interview that gave way to these new zoned out sessions.

MILLION BRAZILIANS:

PODEROSO MONICATO
12" LP

ORDER HERE

"Mining different elements in jazz, experimental electronics, and ”eastern" music, Million Brazilians have created their new full length album, and its a deep one stirring of sonic mysteries all woven into a dark jazz backdrop making a super psychedelic trip. Patience is a virtue with this album as it starts out nice with some amazing flute action until it morphs into some contemplative and expansive spiritual jazz exploration; the sort of thing that Million Brazilians has definitely mastered. Poderoso Monicato unfurls into a massive haze of some seriously intense and unique sounds with warbling hooks on electric guitar, percussive skitter, soulful voice, moody melodic horns, warped throat singing, and wonderfully expansive keys evolving into the more far-out, sci-fi aspects of the Sun Ra sound. The flipside features two round table movements verging on dub but mixed with rotating solos of wild free jazz bursts, washed out guitar, crystal clangs, smokey late night double reed grooves only to be interjected by a pang of heavy tribal drum & flute workouts, and finally swirling into a simmer of bubbling haunted cut-up spoken words. Monicato features lots of worldly influences for sure, in the instrumentation, the chant-like vocals, and the arrangements but it's hard to describe, other than to say it's a pretty fantastical trip through the resulting sonic document, and not surprising when Mississippi Record’s co-founder Eric Issacson recently described the Million Brazilians as “Exotica avant garde mystical music that is impossible to classify.” This is the sort of thing that should appeal to freaky jazz lovers as much as outsider avant/experimental music obsessives. Highly Recommended!" - Chris Webb, for psychicsoundrecordings.blogspot.com

MAGIC MIRROR
12" LP
PRE-ORDER AT PSYCHIC SOUNDS coming soon...

Final album of the Trilogy (Beguiling Isles / Effigy Mounds / Magic Mirror) to be released by Psychic Sounds label.

SLIPCASE w/ SIGNED PRINT pre-order now available:
http://www.psychicsounds.com/product/corum-trilogy-slipcase-signed-print-pre-order

I'm working on creating a very limited edition slipcase along with a signed print and a new written piece overviewing the first Trilogy (Beguiling Isles / Effigy Mounds / Magic Mirror) as to complete the original vision. Printed wraps mounted to 70pt. White Vat board shells, producing authentic “old school” 12˝ slipcases, with 80 lb.Litho Label stock, trimmed and mounted to the shell with a black liner. The slip case will have a gold graphic of the Isles' symbology screen printed on one side. This does NOT include the three lps, but only the slipcase & signed print for those that have the three albums already. I'm hoping to make this as affordable as possible, and really desire to produce it as to finish this Trilogy as it was originally intended to be. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT ON THIS WORK FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS!
