Debut album-"Heat of the fire, heat of the sun"-available on earjerk records
Annapurna iIlusion - 'Heat of the Fire, Heat of the Sun' CDr
"The debut release of Annapurna iIlusion, presents us with four tracks of woven electric breath, expansive mountainous waves of guitar-drone and feedback swirl. All of theses combine to create a beautiful blizzardy backdrop to the many intricate organic noises that float to the surface and then fade away. As the blizzard thickens, the drone rises to a wail and I am lost. Somewhere toward the middle of this disc, I feel as if I am eavesdropping on some ancient mountain side ritual. As a procession of silent monks in robes of white enter a frozen cave and tiny bells ring through the foggy feedback. Huge mountain horns and shimmering gongs sound. Perhaps the ceremony has begun. I follow the monks into the cave. DVD-style case with full-color home-spun collage artwork and insert."

xNoBBQx Skewer 10" LP (Ltd to 300 copies) - Out May 12th
We first came across xNoBBQx (just call them No Barbeque, I guess) in Piccadilly Records last year when the Siltbreeze vinyl reissue of their first CD-r appeared on its shelves. The Siltbreeze label being a bastion of all that is great in terms of dirgy, lo-fi, transcendental unmusicality, we were thus intrigued to hear this slab. And, we have to say, it was one of the greatest shop-listening experiences of all time. Here was a duo, probably of fully grown men, bashing away at their instruments in a manner that suggested they had never really learned any 'proper' technique. We later read a review, in fact, that put it thus:
"So what exactly is the difference between an xNoBBQx recording and a couple of 14 year olds bashing instruments in the garage with record pressed down on one of their mum’s old tape recorders? Probably not a whole lot, actually, but I get the feeling that’s precisely the point. " (Cyclic Defrost)
Well, yes, that does largely seem to be the point. But it's a helluva point. The duo, in spite of their unabashed simplicity, manage to create sounds that are warm as an old-fashioned blanket, each piece having the ability to induce a state of complete, dribbling mental stasis. It's disjointed, scratchy and 'difficult', yes. But it also manages to be completely absorbing. If you like your rock deconstructed to the nth degree, we highly recommend you dig this.
