* Burning Church (Version Hot) is not included on the Bandcamp release.
Continuing off from “Dream Logik Part One”, “DL2” reaches further into outer space. Eyes flutter open from their deeply entrenched nocturnes only to question the truth of the new haze before them. “Dream Logik Part Two”, like its predecessor, is a beautiful blurring of colours that weaves in and out of consciousness. Dark electronics etch out concrete foundations to a skyline of melodious transmissions from Planet Ka-Spel. Hither and non are sprinkled classic Edwardian song-forms, but anything approaching convention is lovingly broached within or followed quickly thereupon by a viscous miasma of electro-acoustics, field recordings, drones, cavernous yawns, hiss, feedback, loops, near-silence and other fractured attacks and decays. These sonic disturbances are conducted like an enormous lysergic philharmonic whose bizarre expertise and precision is utterly captivating. New found voices sneak out with each pass; while those angelically anchored song-forms slowly but surely rouse the soul to a somnambulant waltz. Cum on, feel the noize!

Notes

Recorded in Limburgia 2009.  Mastered at Helmut Room. Packaged in miniature LP sleeve.

This CD was created to raise funds for Chris McBeth’s mother, Jeanine, to assist in her fight against stomach cancer diagnosed in June 2009. Edward Ka-Spel has generously donated “Dream Loops” to this cause and all proceeds will be donated to her to assist in covering medical and travel expenses.

Godspeed Mom.

Largely instrumental collection of pieces released by Beta-Lactam Ring Records in 2009. Cover photography by Alena.  Many thanks to Chris who made this album available.

2024 remaster:
From 2009, the largely instrumental “Dream Loops” explores the outer limits but lands in a comfortable test tube with velvet cushions. This is a new remaster for the New Year and another missing piece lovingly planted on this (EK’s Bandcamp) page.
