White Noise - An Electric Storm

Sorry for the recent lack of posts, fellow arctic pioneers. In the last few months I got married, moved into a new house and started a new job. I've been busy. I'd even been tossing around the idea of just ending the blog and focusing on other things. However, you'll be happy to know that I decided this was a dumb idea and will be attempting to bring you cool music at a more regular pace from now on.

In order to end this period of blog inactivity, I've got an amazing gem of early pysch electronic goodness for you. White Noise's 1969 debut 'An Electric Storm'. There's all kinds of crazy sounds going on in this record. Double basses sped up to sound like violins, first generation synths, orgasmic vocals (literally).

The band is still recording and touring off and on to this day. Look them up if you're ever in the UK. I'll try and get some of their later work up here sometime...

Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company - 1970-1973

MMPMC was the world's first Synthesizer group. They formed in 1968 and began recording around 1970. They released their debut self titled album in 1973. This is the expanded edition that includes some of the early recordings as well.

The members of Mother Mallard's took the project very seriously and created incredibly complex and challenging arrangements. Songs range from minimalist ambient to almost classical sounds.
