Planet
Y- Space Station CD
Yanni Papadopoulos - dg-20 Casio digital guitar
Charles Cohen -Buchla Music Easel synthesizer
Planet Y is the mind-boggling teaming fof Yanni Papadopoulos (known to most as the guitarist for Stinking Lizaveta) and beep/boop guru, Charles Cohen. "Space Station is a live recording of their improvisation at St. Mary's (Baltimore, MD) on November 17, 2006. The result is a mix of blissed out, spacey drones and frenetic, lo-fi electronica. Limited to 500 copies and packaged in the awesome Dualplover gatefold wallet!
"It's like Subotnick meets Sun Ra meets Schnitzler... It starts
off with abstract alien chatter mind-melding into echoing mechanical
rhythms over which the duo converse in utter outer-space vibrations,
pulling delicate, eerie melodies out of the ether, amidst dubby
plastic squelch and distorted atmospheres." -Aquarius
Records "The Space Station at once transmits and receives, and, not always
stationary, voyages through friendly and hostile galaxies, pauses
in playful time-warp purgatory twiddling the avant-whim, never
staying or going for longer than a few of your earth-minutes.
This is a strong, at times exhilarating piece; the boys maneuver,
switch-up and improvise their special little machines with aplomb."
-Aural Innovations
"In an age where it seems like everything you hear sounds like
something you heard somewhere else already, this is highly original-sounding
work whose only real forerunner is possibly in the outer fringes
of Krautrock and the more tantalizing electronic diversions of
Sun Ra." -Dead Angel
