High Mountain Tempel - A Screaming Comes Across The Sky (The Faultline Scriptures) 2007 - LHRCD11 A darker ritual and a new herald. From California duo High Mountain Tempel, “A Screaming Comes Across The Sky” is the soundtrack to your next Apocalypse. Arising from the golden ash of their last release “Pacific Sky Burial” (Lotushouse) this outing finds our intrepid travelers exploring new sonic and thematic terrain. HMT is the eternal sound questing project of Eric Nielsen and Keith Boyd. Eric has done time in and with Maquiladora, Buzz or Howl and various Japanese underground outfits such as Acid Mother's Temple, Astro and High Rise. Keith is a self-made musical alchemist weaving strands of aural gold from base material and mud. Together they bring you a fine distillation of ritual music for these blackened times. Drawing inspiration from sources such as Robert Rich, SunnO))), Terry Riley, Lustmord, Phillip K. Dick, Arthur Rimbaud and HP Lovecraft, High Mountain Tempel is an introspective yet outward reaching labor of love. This is music as voyage, dragging your nervous system out to the Cosmos with no plans on returning. Continuing in the tradition of their last disc this project is an intensely beautiful hand-screened work of art. So don your cloaks and grab your tomes, the ceremony is about to begin.

Peckinpah - Smoking Peace With a Burning Crow 2007 - LHRCD10 Bruce McKenzie is a multi- instrumentalist, singer and songwriter with Maquiladora (sweet, tweaked, acid folk) and with Buzz or Howl (free-form psychedelic acid noise blitz). His solo efforts as Peckinpah fall somewhere outside and between his two bands. Restricting himself to two instruments, harmonium and various forms of the slide guitar, McKenzie has crafted a deeply meditative suite of 4 improvisations, haunted by droning reeds and hovering, flickering, natural overtones that become the focus of the musical experience. McKenzie has strong ties to the Japanese psych underground. As a member of his two groups he has shared a stage, recorded, or toured with Acid Mothers Temple, Miminokoto, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, LSD March, and members of High Rise and White Heaven. This ambient americana drone folk bliss-out music lies somewhere between or among Boxhead Ensemble, Womblife-era Fahey, Pauline Oliveros, Jim O'Rourke's Happy Days, and Pat Conte's Ethnic Museum series. Made for ghosts by ghosts.

High Mountain Tempel - Pacific Sky Burial (Axaxaxas mlo) 2007 - LHRCD09 Calling all Space Brothers! The new disc from High Mountain Tempel is here. “Pacific Sky Burial” (Axaxaxas mlo) touches down this February. This California Duo consists of Eric Nielsen (of both Maquiladora and Buzz or Howl) and Keith Boyd. This is their first flight into the ether together. Eric has played with members of such highly respected avant garde groups as Acid Mothers Temple, High Rise, White Heaven, Mainliner, Mus, The Black Heart Procession, etc. On “Pacific Sky Burial” they aim their sound towards both inner and outer space. Creating dense soundscapes and sonic stories, their music touches on elements of Krautrock and such musicians as Lustmord, Harry Partch, Coil and Zombi. Along with these spacier elements, there is a free-form and hybrid spirituality to this music that is of a particular West Coast and Pacific variety. The overall effect results in the kind of music Eno would make for a Philip K. Dick film set in Tibet. This limited edition disc is a labor of love and comes in a silk-screened cover with unique black on black discs. So, let the count down begin. Set the controls for the heart of the sun and journey to the limitless dimensions of inner space with High Mountain Tempel and their debut release, “Pacific Sky Burial”.

Maquiladora - The Gulf EP 2006 Acuarela (Spain) - Maquiladora, swims within "The Gulf", an exclusive 6 tracks release on the Spanish label Acuarela Discos, a relationship formed out of kinship with Spain's banda divina, Mus. What they do is dismantle the music machine and rebuild it with alien parts. An unconventional trio that approaches music from all sides, switching instruments between players from song to song, and making careful decisions on when and where to play live.

Maquiladora - Ritual of Hearts CD Better Looking 2002 - a haunting lo-fi affair of psychedelic tinged desert music. This SD three piece "share (Neil ) Young's knack for infusing minimalist sketches with a cinematic, wide open spaces vibe. (The) intersection of manic folk thrill and drunken psyche - with piano, synth, melodica, mandolin and accordion darting like honeybees - proposes a craftsman's worldview that, likewise, is deeply passionate." Mills - Magnet 3rd studio album of Maquiladora.

Maquiladora - Ritual of Hearts 7" b/w Mexico D.F. Single 'Ritual of Hearts' 7" screams to belong to any well ordered cool record collection, given enough exposure this could feature deservedly in most end of year polls. With it's drone like keyboards and gently cast chords, 'Ritual of Hearts' has an engaging lazy quality to it that has a similar flow and attraction as did Mercury Rev's 'Car Wash Hair' debut. Dig a little deeper and you'll discover traces of J.Spaceman's first post Spacemen haze of Spiritualized. Trimmed with a delicate psyche underbelly, it is as crucial as it is mesmerising.
