I don't think Mutt Lange produced this Basillica CD on Blackest Rainbow. Kingdom of Status sounds like someone's done it by plugging those crap earphones that come with iPods into the 'line in' of a Fisher Price My First Mixing Desk. That's not to say it's not pretty ace though, it totally adds to the impressive atmosphere whipped up by these mantric, repetitive guitar workouts and is obviously completely intentional. Somewhere in the murk it's reminding me of Six Organs of Admittance, his intense live shows in the heavy sections and his lo-fi folk ruminations in the more subdued moments. I gather this has been out before so I'll stop there, very interesting stuff though and surely limited to about 3 CDr copies.

This sold out before it was even out! So we've made a small run second edition, only 24 copies, these ones are hand number on the inside and printed on paper, the original was printed heavier card, and was un-numbered.... Brand new CDR from Mike Vest of Bong, Master Slave and Lobster Priest... 3 solo wanderings through temple ritual guitar wailing layered with mists of lo-fi tape worship, and deep fog of hazy green smoke burning at your blazed eyeballs. This is a must for people who wanna lay down and zone out to psychedelic mirages transported from a realm way more tranced out than where we're at.
