'Similar to "Boiling Atom" '.

Maybe a little bit more adventurous regarding the arrangements and instrumentation.
Favourite track: 'Flower', 'Time'

Jared Fairfield - Fairer Fields (2009)
(mp3-zip, 11 tracks, 19 min, 25,1 MB)
JARED FAIRFIELD originally is from Maine and currently is living in Maine."I regard my music as still being very amateur and not fully evolved. I have a vague vision of what my ideal music would be, and I am still far off from it. I have come a ways though. – It would be impossible to list all the influences, but specifically while recording this (= "Past Songs"): Tyrannosaurus Rex, Gary Higgins, Syd Barrett, Love, Vashti Bunyan, Tiny Tim, among many others." (J. F.)
Jared himself describes "The Great Boiling Atom" as slightly less coherent (than "Past Songs") with more experiments in sound and in recording. I especially like the keyboard sound on "Conch" and "Ground". Listening to "The Great Boiling Atom" I especially hear a strong early Marc Bolan / Tyrannosaurus Rex influence (e.g. on "Ground" and "Queen"). Again some tracks are recorded quite lo-fi.
Only thing I have to criticise is the fact, that most of the tracks are very short and somehow rather sketchy. Some more polishing here and there would probably have made out of some already very good songs some really, really GREAT songs...
Enjoy!
Favourite track: "Conch"

The first album from German experimental/noise/drone band ePHEMEROL from Frankfurt a. M.
One of the rare live recordings of the german avantgarde/noise/drone band EPHEMEROL, heavily influenced by SUNNO))), BORIS and the like. Starts rather quiet (with some guitar lines not too dissimilar to Maxim Engl's later work with his former psychedelic grunge band ORANGE), but gets much louder and heavier and more minimalistic with time. Read more here!
"We've gotten compared to bands like: Acid Mothers, Les Rallizes Dénudés, Can, Loop."
(Jim from Sadhu Sadhu)
And quite rightly so...
Though the sound quality of these recordings isn't the best (sounds like a 1970s bootleg) the music is absolutely convincing. Lots of wah wah guitar, strong bass lines, tight playing.
Enjoy!
Part eight of the megapost. Some of the more radical and experimental tracks of TWMWK. 
Another 'beautiful noise' record by ARCHIPELAGO: On post-derearrangement. It's similar in style to Professional Talking.
"Ours is a three-piece. I go by Stitch and I play a sp404, a kp2, couple other delay pedals. I sing sometimes and play the sax and sometimes keys. Leif David sings and uses an akai headrush e2, a 2 second digitech delay, and some other delays on his vocals. 'Hogroast' Y. Land plays guitar through a whole mess of things that change depending on whats working at the moment. Again, lots of delay on him too. --- The recordings (...) are live takes recorded into my macbook via the internal mic, all done within in the past month. Leif and I have been playing around for a year or so and were joined by mr. land in July. --- We will soon be releasing our material on cassette through the Portland, Oregon label 'Gnar Tapes & Shit'. They are sincerely rad dudes. --- Leif and I previously played together in a band called Gratitillium. We also play folk tunes (he plays banjo and I play clarinet). --- We think of Archipelago as noise. Sub-categorization could go on (pointlessly) forever. Our musical influences are varied to the extent that grouping our sound with any influence would be a convolution to the understanding our music. We encourage anyone to listen and make genre assumptions for themselves. That is a main reason we decided to release this free over the internet. --- Personally, a main influence is the notion of 'derangement of the senses', cultivated and sought after by Brion Gysin, William Burroughs, and generations of noise musicians to follow. Brion Gysin's noise experiments set the wheels in motion for me to be able to make this type of music. --- http://www.myspace.com/archipelagopdx has some other stuff to enjoy." (S. H.)
ARCHIPELAGO are from Portland, Oregon, USA.
I think their music could best be described as psychedelic noise rock, though the 'noise' on tracks like 'tubes issued' e.g. is rather some kind of 'beautiful noise'. Excellent production, very clear sounding. Enjoy!
ARCHIPELAGO - Professional Talking (USA 2009)
James Tichenor from the New York/Jersey post-noise duo ENDLESS ENDLESS ENDLESS sent me a mail and asked me to post their first release 'Black Talisman'. Here is James' description of it:"Black Talisman is the debut recording from the New York/Jersey duo of Brett Renfer (Brooklyn: guitar, vocals, and pedals) and James Tichenor (Jersey: Korg Gameboy DS). Splitting their time between triumphant post-noise and stretched out bummer-wave, Endless Endless Endless creates music from the sounds of shimmering guitars, squiggly synth lines, filter sweep synth washes, slow-mo 8-bit drums, and infinite layered vocal harmonies all mushed together into a psychedelic, blissed-out smoothie. With no overdubs and minimal editing, Black Talisman captures Endless Endless Endless riffing as songs and ideas build, blur, loop and die. This is music for (and from) pretzel rods and Miller highlife.
Hand-made, numbered edition of 100 (53 tapes) (47 cdrs) comes with large laser etched Talisman and (secret) mp3 download link. Wear the Talisman and it will bring you infinite power." (J. T.)
Truely amazing, quite unique piece of music! Spacy guitar accompanied by gameboyDS electronic sounds – very comfortable and relaxing listening experience, though there's lots of distortion...
Strongly recommended!

From Farmington Hills, Michigan, comes DEVIN HOLLOWS (aka Devin Madgy). He records gentle psychedelic/experimental homemade pop songs using his 4-track or directly in his computer. If you like bands like A. R. KANE you definitely should have a listen.Q: How'd you "label" your music?
A: It sways between experimental, folk, lofi. Not real sure. My good friend calls it "humble spirit music".
Q: Anything that you think is interesting, that you'd like to inform the blog readers about...
A: The Earth is hollow and we are on our way to becoming 4-dimensional!"
