Wednesday, 19 November 2008Kinski / Bardo Pond as Sonic Attack on Trensmat Artist: Kinski / Bardo Pond Title : Sonic Attack (Lords of Light) Label : Trensmat Catalogue No : TR015 Country of Origin : Ireland Quantity Pressed : Not Specified Posted Date: 25th Sep 2008 Release Date : 1st Nov 2008 The research I've been doing for this is blowing my mind...basically Trensmat is releasing trilogy of singles of bands covering Hawkwind...who is Hawkwind? A psyche-space rock band that collaborated with sci-fi writer Michael Moorcock...(I didn't recognize anything he'd written, but it's a huge list of work). Band members rotated around Dave Brock over the years...apparently they are stil playing shows...most recently a 30 year reunion festival of some kind, but one member a bassist named Lemmy went on to form Motorhead named after the last song he wrote for hawkwind! Crazy. So this single I chose after seeing Kinski was involved...now, Kinski has been around forever honing their giant feedback borderline experimental primarily instrumental sound since the early nineties...the whole time on Subpop records, and most definitely still with roots in Seattle. Kinski takes on the track 'Masters of the Universe' with their signature fuzzy riffs and screaming solo. They keep true to that 70's psyche feel but with more effects...it's definitely touched by Kinski and it's guitarists Chris Martin and Matthew Reid-Schwartz are masters of tone, conjuring out feedback subtelty and range. Needless to say you won't easily walk away with your hearing intact. Bardo Pond, I've never been too familiar with, but seem like another psyche rock band sympathizer, and use similar guiar drone noise to build their walls of sound....both perfect candidates for reworking Hawkwinds material. Enough so that I'm intrigued to track down some original stuff and see where it all started. I'm reminded why these little pieces of vinyl gold are so great..for splits and tributes...mini EP's. Take a chance on a new sound...maybe you just can't handle the entire release...maybe like me you have ADD and like the constant interaction with the music format itself....time to flip the 7" again. Go listen to a couple of smples from this amazing trilogy project. Bardo Pond - Lords of Light Kinski - Masters of the Universe Labels: bardo pond, kinski, trensmat records
