DRUGS...IM NOT TELLING
EARTHLING SOCIETY WAS FORMED IN JAN 2004.
INSPIRED BY CAN/FUNKADELIC/ASH RA TEMPEL/13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS/AMON DUUL2 AND SYD BARRETT, E-SOCIETY SET OUT BUILDING A SMALL RECORDING STUDIO WITH THE INTENTION OF RECORDING LO-FI KRAUT-ANGST ACID EPICS.
LYRICALLY INSPIRED BY WILLIAM BLAKE, PHILIP K. DICK, GUSTAV MEYRINK AND ARTHUR MACHEN, E-S RECORDED THEIR 7 TRACK DEBUT 'ALBION' JUST FOR THE SOLE SATISFACTION THAT WE HAD THE ABILITY TO DO SO.
CHAMPIONED BY ARCH-DRUDE JULIAN COPE IN THEIR EARLY DAYS OF THEIR DEBUT ALBION, E-S HAVE NOW RELEASED 4 ALBUMS TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM IN THE UNDERGROUND PRESS.
E-S CONTINUE TO RELEASE THEIR OWN UNIQUE VISION WITHOUT COMPROMISE OR FOLLOWING CURRENT FADS
hes my lover and hes looking for a record label and /or radio play..so spread the word please! thanks a ton!!!:-) www.myspace.com/danfrostman much love and peace
Ha ha well I saw you, just didn..t want to be seen mixing with folk from the wrong side of town ;-) Really enjoyed your set at the SRS! Sorry that I have no photographic evidence of your presence but I chose your set as one of the ones to put down the cameras and just stand and enjoy. Will try and catch you at one (or both) of the local gigs.
We've got a new release - sculptural noise-jazz structures by one-man-project from Kiev.
This is a story of solid but disperse layer of irregular noise being methodically spread over the acoustic plane of a grand piano that was cynically squashed with echo-effect.
A mini-CD comes in an illustrated 5-page hand-made mini-book.
the new spacerock-album by dave schmidt aka sula bassana. comes in beautiful digipac!
