« Layered with demented echoed vocals, “The Intercessor Speaks” is the marriage of Sun Ra and Syd Barret, a twisted and crazy rush of noise that flies around the room in a disorientating manner like a whirling dervish in sound. »

« (…) he’s wont to fool around with old organs, and he knows enough about drums to completely fuck up anything approaching a steady beat (…) This is free-rock anyway, it’s willfully obscure, esoterically so (…) »

« (…) Whether this is madness or genius – who’s to tell?
Either way, Full Blown Expansion is 7 nuggets of sonic annihilation created via way of 4 track tape recorder and numerous instrumentation... This is one psych album not content to drone on but aims to fuck you up and hit you right between the eyes – VITAL!!! (…) » /Northern Star Records
« Urgent and monged four-track mantras (…) provide an impressive ebb and flow, lock down on heavy constant rhythmic patterns, lyrical heynonnynonny, and a unique, expressive voice on fuzz guitar (…) getting closer to the sun with each passing minute (…) an attractive bright light in a darkened sea of mostly oil and garbage (…) » /dusted magazine
« (…) side one of this solo disc is a highly Underground Beast (…) mainly a captivating home-brew of the archaic variety, that ultimately aligns itself (in both spirit of performance and lo-fi attitude) with such endearing catchy-but-unhinged sonic monuments as Todd Clark’s INTO THE VISION, Oliver’s STANDING STONE, Anthony Moore’s FLYING DOESN’T HELP and Zippo Zetterlink’s IN THE POOR SUN, as well as the more ‘down-home’ space rock sides of such bands as Faust (THE FAUST TAPES), Flower Travellin’ Band (MADE IN JAPAN) and early Amon Düül 2 (...) »

ABOUT GR's XPERIMENTS FROM WITHIN THE TENTACULAR :
« (…) GR’s truly neon’n’flourescent avant-Street Punk classic XPERIMENTS FROM WITHIN THE TENTACULAR, a bedazzling motherfucking gem (…) Motherfucker ! GR is Gregory Raimo, a mysterious and wonderfully stylish neo-Krautrock master (…) » /Julian Cope’s Head Heritage
« (…) crazy guitar playing, exploding across the universe, as a weird cacophony of sound melts your brain into soft goo (…) the sinister electronic pulses causing you nerve-endings to dance across your skin (…) a powerful tsunami of noise, beautifully constructed, raw and untamed (…) it invades you home destroying all in its path (…) it is a relentless attack (…) the aliens really do succeed in wiping the puny humans from the earth (…)
Strange, ragged and glorious, this slab of vinyl should be snapped up by everyone, the spirit of the individual burns brightly throughout its sonic groove. »

« (…) guaranteed to expand your mind and make your head throb. Comparing it to anything else would be like comparing it to the uncomparable.... you won't have heard anything quite like this before. » /Northern Star Records
(...) It's a record that can be listened to time and time again good in a shuffle mix for those painters, writers and artists types who like to "get into it", good for the dance party when you want to "bring the sex", and in general good to listen to for chores and things that may descent into darkness, i.e. long drives.

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our third LP release...
"Anutha Kinda Brotha" is the debut LP from underground legend ART TERRY. Since moving to the UK from his native Los Angeles in the early 90s, Mr Terry has established himself as one of London's characters.
Describing Art's sound to the uninitiated usually involves debunking some of the stereotypes of what the 'typical' black Californian might play. Despite his jazz training, and coming of age to the sounds of classic soul and funk, these styles are only a part of his musical vision. His fascination with folk styles, classical music, punk rock, pure pop, easy listening, musical theatre and the European avant garde have taken him on different paths from most...
The result is an orchestral pop record full of sonic inventiveness, whether it's the blend of Shuggie Otis's 60s California and Sun Ra's ancient Egypt on 'Bible', Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons leading a mariachi band on 'Escort', or the Walt Disney music box orchestra of 'Miss Dominatrix', but whilst this is very much a sonic feast, we shouldn't overlook Art's extraordinary lyrical adeptness, and the distinctive character this brings to the proceedings, with a knack for unique and colourful imagery, and how like a great short story writer he is able to paint an engaging picture whilst keeping back from casting judgement on his characters, always leaving open ends for the listener to tie; giving us the feeling that however far astray someone might have gone, there is always sympathy and human feeling for them in Art's mind...
This is the first set from the slightly tweaked Beach Fuzz line-up with Fliss Horrocks now playing guitar alongside Tom Settle and Nick Mitchell. Seven tracks of clattering drums, chugging and wailing guitars, screaming keyboards, mellow, lilting pastoral improv and moaned vocals.
