`: American duo Super Minerals appears :'
`: to have taken an idiosyncratic, :'
`: exploratory approach to ambient, :'
`: beginning with smeared, guitar-based :'
`: drones (The Pelagics, The Vooh), :'
`: dabbling with La Monte Youngian :'
`: piano minimalism (Clusters) and hazy :'
`: musique concrete (The Hoax). On :'
`: their latest cassette, released on :'
`: dearly departed label Stunned :'
`: Records, theyÆve taken the way of :'
`: cryptic messages, bleeping their way :'
`: from the distant future. :'
`: Contacteer generally follows the :'
`: lo-fi, synth-based noodling path set :'
`: by The Hoax, but this time itÆs :'
`: generally more ôhumanö: sounds of :'
`: bells and distant oriental drumming, :'
`: sometimes reversed, are heard û :'
`: sometimes the album turns to even :'
`: more ethnic areas, with free-form, :'
`: NNCK-ish tribal jamz coalesce with :'
`: ominous, sustained guitar sounds :'
`: known from the duoÆs early albums. :'
`: Each side of the cassette is divided :'
`: into various, unrelated ômovementsö :'
`: separated by short silent pauses. It :'
`: seems like Super Minerals wanted to :'
`: make up for the unnamed tracks of :'
`: The Hoax, giving the tracks :'
`: ridiculously long, post-rockish :'
`: titles. If someone showed me track :'
`: names like ôEarth Acropolis Welcome :'
`: Panacea Home: Man the Rod, Woman the :'
`: Measure, and Metabolising All Their :'
`: Poisons With Easeö and ôBe Brave :'
`: Children of the Monsoon And Rise :'
`: Above the Deep Shield Like Buddah :'
`: Burning Brightly on Marsö, I would :'
`: have sworn these are the titles from :'
`: the new Red Sparowes album. Or :'
`: something by the Skaters: in fact, :'
`: the Skaters comparison might be more :'
`: apt both because of the medium (the :'
`: cassette, that is), the somewhat :'
`: lo-fi quality of the music of both :'
`: bands and the genuine interest in :'
`: creating sometimes extremely hazy, :'
`: yet intricate sonic tapestries which :'
`: gives you that ôwhat the hell did :'
`: they use to create this soundö feel. :'
`: Super Minerals rose to ôfameö and :'
`: made their name by creating guitar- :'
`: based ambient. The Contacteer moves :'
`: more towards a non-descript area :'
`: somewhere between shapeless, mapless :'
`: territories somewhere between a way :'
`: more lo-fi Excepter and ritual :'
`: psychedelicisms aÆla Golden Jooklo :'
`: Age. Despite the length of the :'
`: cassette (itÆs almost 60 minutes :'
`: long), the tracks flow quickly and :'
`: smoothly. There are no tiring ôoh :'
`: god when itÆs gonna endö moments û :'
`: none of the ômovementsö overstay :'
`: their welcome and they have a :'
`: perfect timing û the pieces last :'
`: long enough to sink, yet not long :'
`: enough to bore the listener and make :'
`: them skip forward. Super Minerals :'
`: also have the talent to make music :'
`: with no fixed geographical ôpointö û :'
`: unlike the FWY! album IÆve reviewed :'
`: a few days ago, the music of Super :'
`: Minerals gives the feeling that it :'
`: could be recorded anywhere and :'
`: anytime û they may be using a basic :'
`: framework of ambient or psychedelic :'
`: folk music, but unlike in most folk :'
`: or ambient music, the sounds are not :'
`: attached to a given point or :'
`: feeling. Super Minerals can be :'
`: listened to in almost any mood û and :'
`: depending on the mood in a given :'
`: moment they can be either :'
`: depressing, uplifting, meditative, :'
`: sometimes flat out terrifying and :'
`: always fascinating. :'
`: :'
`: :'
`: :'
`: Limited to 111 copies. :'
