Stone Roller.


Dust off those moon boots and get your helmet on cause it's time for another space adventure. This time we are floating in our tin can with Arpadys. Arpadys where a team of French studio musicians turned producers who where involved in too many good projects to list here. Kind of like a French version of Toto. Only way cooler. And more spacey. Yeah I guess not so much like Toto. I love Georgie Porgie.

Pacific.


We love our moody French synth records here at Radiant Darkness and this one is something special. I recently acquired this record after about two years of computer screen drooling and various Ebay hunts. Just a beautiful album that sounds like a daydream in motion. Mercier created several solo synth records throughout the late 70's and into the 80's including a Patchwork Library lp, but "Pacific" is the perfect harmony of swirling dreamy synth work and slow drum pulses that stays clear of the boredom zone. Lets board the Pacific Express.

Slow Death.


Hendrix was a guitarist possessed by a force that made him closer to a cosmic energy than any actual living person on Earth. A force that was too strong to be held captive in his Earthly body. I would imagine that Chico (or rather Mahmoud Ayari) was cut from the same chaotic cosmic fabric that caused Hendrix to burn with such quick but nevertheless prophetic glory. Having been formed in Lyon in 69 as Chico and the Slow Death, the band by 1970 would be known as the Chico Magnetic Band. Their debt lp was released in 1973 and is a full blown supernova of blistering fret fire. What Chico does that Hendrix doesn't is take these songs and drag them through further regions of space where we can only hope that Hendrix would have explored if his ship would not have crashed. The album is further aided by the stellar production of J.P. Massiera who is no stranger to the further darker galaxies of space. Absolutely in a time and dimension of it's own. Explore!

Shake the Bad Bugs.

Still not much better on the posting but fuck it. There maybe only four people reading this thing as far as I know. So here is a great great song by Soma Holiday that has an electro/coldwave arm wrestling match happening at once. You know what it results in? Fucking brilliance!

And download below.
