Series 501:
“On The Infernal Machine, Armchair Migraine Journey brings together heavy modular electronics, space rock, and progressive experimentation. Side A features the title track, a slow-burning, Krautrock-inspired piece with maestro Edward Ka-Spel. On Side B, “Strands That Bind” marks the final part in the Blood Coupling Magnet trilogy sessions with a heavier, more progressive sound, built around dense layers of noise, acoustic tension, deep drifting drones, and pounding drums. Both sides push into challenging territory without losing their sense of movement.”
Series 502:
“Machine Machine Machine: A Hexapartite by Paul J Rogers takes Infernal Machine as a prompt and morphs it into a 30-minute otherworldly journey of voices, violins, piano, and whispers, with Krautrock-like rhythms creeping in and out… true 29-minute imaginary soundtrack territory.”
