...according to our Brian on 20 August 2009.

Blooming heck, i'm liking this Mugstar thang. It's a 2 trk lathe cut on Trensmat with a bonus CD featuring 2 extra tracks as well as the lathe tracks meaning you'll never have to play it & can keep the polycarbonate disc in an hermetically sealed box to prevent it degrading too much or on the other hand you can just smash the CD up and play the pulsating kraut spacerock racket that is 'Today is the Wrong Shape' & its equally alarming flip, the progtastic wall of stunning repetitive grooving known as 'Technical Knowledge as a Weapon' - like Monster Killed By Lazer gone totally astral bound - really fucking loud on a trashed old dansette and wonder forever what the other two tracks were like. I'm not going to tell you what they're like either, have you no appetite for the element of surprise? Great stuff, proper balls out shit.....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Mugstar return to Trensmat two and a half years after their groundshaking 'Bethany Heart Star' single.

'Today is the Wrong Shape' is sprawling drone drenched FX doused instrumental metallic space rock. Its a skull caving slab of glorious propulsive relentless rhythms, dense swirls of FX & churning bass lines. A five minute trudge through dense blackened clouds of acid fried shimmer only to be blown out the other end of mega spacegroovekrautpsychness.

'Technical Knowledge as a Weapon' starts jagged and hyper rhythmic, the drum pulse and guitar crunch locked into mesmerizing loops of pulse and throb, and then evolves into a mind blowingly cyclical psychprog blowout, wrapped around a dense core of relentlessly rocking rhythms and killer heavy riffing.

The additional CD contains the two tracks on the 7" and two additional tracks - amazing cover versions of ZZ Tops 'I Got the Six' and Fairport Conventions 'Tam Lin'. Theres also a beautiful abstract video by Jenny Collins to accompany 'Flotation Tank' from their first LP.

VERY limited edition package of numbered clear vinyl lathe cut 7" in full colour wraparound picture sleeve and CD with additional tracks and video.
