about

LAL-30
Cassette, released in 2006

LP reissue by Arbor, 2008

Recorded after Maniacs Dream’s trip to Zanzibar, where they succeeded to find the beauty of antiquity. ”How beautiful! Like in the Homeric times!” Bella Blossa said of the harem that inspired him to write the last song on side A. The song is a speed of light free fall into the orange hole, like the whole album! In time! Comes with beautiful psychedelic covers by Bema Bergman!


"New release from this wild Finnish primitive/DIY/grunt/disruption squad with squeaking, fuzzy guitar lines/electronics and bedroom D??l drum stylings, zonked hands-on LAFMS-style cartoon goof quotient and folk songs of the drugged-at-home variety. Nuts and totally great." - Volcanic Tongue

"MxDx are really all over the place but dip their toes most frequently in hippie stew, psych rock/pop, garage jams, and good times. But it's all instrumental. And it's all great. They come lurching out of the gate with an opening track (there's a few different tracks but they're not given titles) that straight up punishes, heavy psych/noise rock jams that would probably feel right at home on Load Records if they added a lame vocalist, lame costumes, and major Arab on Radar worship. Thankfully they don't. This tune goes on for awhile, piling on a hulking drum beat below guitars (I think), keyboards, tape machines and the almighty slide whistle which eventually takes over and plays a disturbingly loopy drone set that'll pin you to the ceiling in seconds flat. Awhile later a piano comes in and more free gypsy jamming start up and continue on into the night in varying forms...often noisy, cluttery, dusty and dirty...just the way it should be. I can't even come up with any decent comparisons for this tape, it's like everything good and decent about "weird" underground music in the past while packed into fiftyish minutes. Imagine your mom running you a hot bath and preparing you some crackers with peanut butter spread on top - that's how sweet and warm these sounds are. Highly and hugely recommended, one of the best releases all year that many people are going to miss out on - don't be one of them!" - Matt / Outer Space Gamelan
