Apollo80/dimartis
Reverberations, Vol. 1 (black)
Sound Effect Records presents the first release of 'Reverberations,' a split series with the intention of delivering bands across the planet sonically united by a musical common ground. The first instalment, called 'Tales Of Dust And Winds' sees the Western Australians Apollo80 joining forces with the Argentinian-Patagonians Dimartis to take us on a trip through desertic landscapes made of winds, cold sunsets and naked rocks. The Australians, now at the third chapter with Sound Effect Records, offer a 20 minute long desert/kosmische one-riffer cavalcade in pure Can/Neu tradition but with a heavy twist that will please the lovers of long instrumental trips. Turn the LP and you'll find Dimartis (10 years on the scene and surprisingly at their debut on vinyl) with three tracks beautifully arranged balancing silences and reverbs that evoke the milestones of desert rock. Really an excellent concept aiming to take us travelling through the Australian bush and the Patagonian flats with two bands that squeezed all their local authenticity in every groove.
