edgar wappenhalter (silvester anfang) - On The Beach
Edgar Wappenhalter is a co-founder of Belgian psychedelic occultists Silvester Anfang and the Funeral Folk collective, and this amazing, brain-scrambling solo outing finds him combining his affection for out-there Kosmische, psych-folk and tapeloop drones in a remarkably fresh and immersive fashion. If the album title had you expecting a Neil Young tribute, think again. You'll still find some gorgeously submerged songwriting hidden away on here - particularly the reverb-corroded tones of acoustic guitar-driven jams 'Missing Heights' and 'Dierenriem' - but it comes bundled with some impressively experimental fare such as the metronomic space blues of 'As The Kid's Clock Breathes Sweet Hasjiesj' or the clockwork lo-fi distortions of 'Last Call Before The Tide'. Better yet are 'The Cyclone', a surreal campfire techno experiment, and the flotation tank kosmische opus 'Revelatory Pathways To A Place Of Rebirth'. "On The Beach" basically plays through passages of every kind of music that we love, combining them into a brilliant and hazy patchwork of original ideas that we just can't stop listening to. Amazing album - very highly recommended!
