Out of the ashes of Town & Country rose DRMWPN, loosely collected around a Dreamachine, playing one song that is every song.
Bright Blue Galilee is a document of a performance at Chicago's Empty Bottle during Rebis Records' Fugue State Festival on June 29, 2007. Featuring Michael Zerang, Adam Vida, Josh Abrams, Liz Payne, Ben Vida, Mahjabeen, Dan Mohr, Sam Wagster, Steve Krakow, and Jim Dorling.
It has been released as a sold out edition of fifty CDRs in handpainted sleeves by the UK's Apollolaan Recordings and forthcoming in a small run of 100 LPs on Chicago's HBSP-2X Records.
I'll commence with the most useful release of the month, which must surely be the transcendentally tripped out witterings of BRIGHT BLUE GALILEE, a single 36-minute epic by the American ten-piece ensemble Dreamweapon (aka DRMWPN). Available on the forward-thinking UK label Apollolaan Recordings, Dreamweapon utilise their vast arsenal of percussion, keyboards and strange string instruments to enslave the minds of listeners, dragging them down into the underworld via a series of ever-unfolding phased vocal chants, in a similar manner to Valley of Ashes' massive triple LP, the more vocal heavy side of Sunburned Hand of the Man and PARADIESWARTS DÜÜL-period Amon Düül. As so many contemporary musicians attempt to perform similar music to Dreamweapon, such stuff can be judged only by how often the listener needs to engage with it; that I've been compelled to rotate this sucker endlessly is surely evidence of its extreme success. Bless you for birthing it, ladies'n'gennelmen! Score this essential motherfucker from Volcanic Tongue (www.volcanictongue.com). —Julian Cope
Drmwpn (aka Dreamweapon) er et knippe Chicagomusikanter som rotter seg sammen i et drømmedroneprosjekt og Bright Blue Galilee er deres første dokument av lyd. Sentralt i dette timanns sterke dyret står Steve Krakow (alias Plastic Crimewave) og folk fra den fine gruppa Town & Country (som har et knippe gode album ute på Thrill Jockey).
Navnet skjemmer ingen - tvert imot i denne anledning. Bright Blue Galilee er ett 36 minutters langt dronestykke med sval start, tiltagende intensitet og flittig bruk av perkusjon, gitarer og andre strenger badet i keyboards og vokal nynning og chanting. Ganske så forsiktig og lite håndgripelig; der hadde jeg den tenker du og så slipper stykket ut mellom fingerene dine igjen. Med andre ord et stykke for gjentatt og konsentrert lytting; kanskje til søvnlytting og drømmetyding?
Alle dronisters store helter kan refereres ; AMM, LaMonte Young, Spacemen 3 og Pelt er uansett ikke skivebom.
Bright Blue Galillee er mild, oppbyggelig og vanedanende lyd. Se Drmwpn lage utstyr for alles tredje søvn. — lydfrabaksiden.blogspot.com

｡☆* Hi !! Nice to meet you, Thanks for being a friend on here!! Hope you get some spare time to check out our music :)) Feel Free To Check Us Out At 亗 http://www.reverbnation.com/eriktheviking 〩 Hope you have a great day!!
We don't know you guys personally, but we saw you at the Hideout and it was excellent. We'd like to invite you out to a
multimedia event we are involved with surrounding the end of times. It
will be a theatrical enactment of the end of the world using live sound
and visual arts. It will be taking place in an archaic cathedral in the
heart of Wicker Park. This event was inspired by the soon-ending Mayan
calendar, sacred geometry, and other mystic and psychedelic
revelations. Matrameru will be performing brand new unreleased material
specifically sculpted for the unique location of this event.
