"Mr. Ruaradidh Sanachen has been getting a name for himself recently with his one man kosmische metal space ritual project Nackt Insecten, releasing plenty of limited edition "stuff" on a whole bunch of labels. In February 2008, as part of Glasgow's wonderful Instal festival, he was seen cradling a suitcase full of howling drone/noise aboard Glasgow's tube trains, and what a show it was. As Nackt Insecten's relentless sounds meshed in perfectly with the locomotive rumblings, I thought to myself what a fine 7 inch single it would make. And sure enough, over a year later, here it is. An explanation made by a member of the "audience" to a worried fellow traveller provides the title.
This package also contains a CD of new Nackt Insecten studio concoctions, a conceptual sequel to the recent LP on Blackest Rainbow Records. A real CD too, not a CDR! Cover art by Goldenlab's Fliss Horrocks and the inclusion of a genuine Glasgow tube train ticket completes this handsome package" - Phil Todd
"This is a pretty-much faultless piece of Glasgow-based 70s-sourced psychedelic futurism. “Quantum Odyssey” rides drone routes that play out in the very edges of analogue that lie the closest to disintegration, melodies lazing inches from the spinning meteors of Saturn’s loop. Occasionally these cracks rupture into short-lived but boiling feedback, most noticeably on the opening “Sabbath’s Head”, but it’s the album’s swirls of colour around its melodies that always win out. There are touches here and there of the processed psych routes blazed by acts like Astral Social Club and Ashtray Navigations, but Nackt Insecten keep their sound clearer and more stable than their peers. 9/10" - Foxy Digitalis Review
Nackt Insecten / Kylie Minoise - "Beyond the Stellar Filth" Split LP on Harbinger Sound
Ltd. 100 copies
I'm now sold out. Order from Harbinger Sound - harbingersound at lineone dot net
"Limited edition of 100 copies split LP only ‘officially’ available direct from the label and the artists themselves. This one presents some earlier material from both groups, recorded live at the 13th Note in Glasgow in November 2006 and features Minoise in classic actionist-assault mode and Insecten in his early punk-primitive one cymbal, one microphone and a ticket to oblivion phase." - VT description
Dylan Nyoukis / Nackt Insecten split C23 on Sick Head
NOW SOLD OUT
"Two tracks inspired by PK Dicks 'The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch'. Colour cover in vinyl case
Nyoukis 'I'll give you a translation world in which you're a rotting corpse of a run-over dog in some ditch'... where creeper drone is the order of the day to the detriment of all souls regardless of translation world location. Insecten 'The Telepathic Jackal' ..by which the realms of good taste are again bypassed in the name of final frontier expansion" - Label description
