The
Endless House Foundation release on
Dramatic Records has been my most listened to record for some time now. A conceptual compilation of tracks that came about from the idea of one man with an obsession for new technology and new sound. That man was Jiri Kantor, a millionaire who these days resides in the Adriatic city of Trieste. In the early 1970's however, he set up a foundation in his native Czechoslovakia for likeminded artists to come together as one and express themselves in the 'Endless House'. The compilation curates just a few of the tracks from the Endless House archives into a mindblowing taste of how things once were.

This is an amazing release on
Titan's Halo Records from cosmic krautrock duo
Brain Machine.
Alpha Beta Gamma is a 17 minute journey to one side of the galaxy and back, gathering pace all the time before burn up on re-entry. Trimmed down remixes come from the ever impressive
Johan Agebjorn and
Von Spar, who themselves released a cracking track on
Areal's IRR label last month.
