What their label says...

This collaboration between the mellow, Memphis-meets-Germany duo of Kip Ulhorn and Simon Wojan (a.k.a.Cloudland Canyon) and Chicago’s great rock ’n’ roll conciergeand knower-of-mystics Mr. Robert Lowe (a.k.a. Lichens)was born on a trip to the West Coast of the UnitedStates a few years ago.Exterminating Angel’s single 30-minute track (split intotwo parts on the LP version) uses voice, guitar, samplers,and ARP synthesizer. You’ve heard of the unmade sciencefiction epic whose would-be director proposed using differentbig-name progressive bands to perform a soundtrack forspecific planets used in the script; here then are the soundsaccompanying a spacecraft that’s a combination Death Starand Taco Bell from the 1970s filled with cement Mayantemples and pyramids populated by large, snappily dressedreptilian beings. Every so often a bell goes off to break thespell and presents convincing evidence of this record’s specialjourney. Now getting a vinyl release.
