Do you ever yearn for the Comets on Fire who made Blue Cathedral to resurface? Don't get me wrong, Avatar was great and all, but it sounded a lot more like a Howlin' Rain album. Well if you like your psych rock freaky, or your freak rock psychy, Heavy Winged will not disappoint. The first half of the track is a ramshackle cacophony of drums and almighty riffs, and then before you know it, the track derails into a soothing (in retrospect) drone/ambient piece. Hot Shit.
The Inca Ore track on side B is a serious downer jam. Eva Saelens, perhaps better known for her work in Jackie-O Motherfucker works some sludgey Dylan Carlson (circa early 90s) guitar work around blasts of feedback and heavy hit drums. At a LP (on 33rpm) side in length, it's a bit of a marathon, good stuff, but Heavy Winged are a hard act to follow.
Emeralds - Allegory of Allergies. 2xLP.
This record is to drone what Selected Ambient Works Volume 2 was to ambient. A Brilliant, genre defining piece of work. (Sorry it's OOP already. I've gotta try to get these things out faster.) 2 records worth of mind melting mantras. If you're reading this, you probably need this. Check the discogs marketplace, or possibly ebay.
