The Telescopes: "Psychic Viewfinder" Lathe cut clear vinyl 7" w/ multi-media CD thang (Trensmat). The CD includes the two versions as on the vinyl plus a quicktime film. Itchy, scratchy nails down a blackboard angst-noise-drone made up from guitar and viola. Ltd & numbered...need we say more about this group with much pedigree. 100 copies only!!

What their label says...
The Telescopes have been mining a unique anti-myopian seam of drone/dream psych for 20 years. Expertly bolting gritty blocks of noise, rich with fossil and sediment, onto minimal songs and melodies which are miles apart and miles beyond the reams of drone/ambience out there.
On 'Psychic Viewfinder' Stephen Laurie & Bridget Hayden harness a primeval drone, rich in texture, and build it beautifully in unison with soaring feedback, guitar manipulation & viola which forever spiral outward, fractal and hypnotic - a bed of noise percolating at the edges of audition.
Included on the additional multimedia CD is an exclusive hand-shot video of the full show the band played in Cork, Ireland from late 2006 - by the dim light of three candles on the floor between them Stephen & Bridget float out on waves of smoke-screened sound which build to a monolithic and glorious climax. The two 'Psychic Viewfinder' tracks from the 7" are also on the CD.
VERY limited edition package of numbered clear vinyl lathe cut 7" and multimedia CD. Both in full colour wraparound picture sleeve.
