| amazing !! the second album by cellutron & the invisible; 30 years in the making !!!
those of you who have been following the creel pone series since the beginning will no doubt be familiar with the work of one robert s. greely... and until now his lone contribution to the world of home-recorded electronic-psych/beat-poetry & general-purpose outsider-genius...
lo and behold this contemporary-era outing by the original “lineup” (i have a sinking feeling that “spaceboy”, “indiana straight”, and of course “cellutron” are all aliases of greely himsef) of cellutron & the invisible, much in line the comeback efforts of other electronic-psych lynchpins (i’m thinking of fifty foot hose’s “live and unreleased”, specifically) - dry drum machines, gritty direct-recorded electric guitar, synth tomfoolery and those bizarre stream-of-consciousness ramblings we all fell in love with, now processed through an array of contemporary looping tools & assorted stomp-box effects.
while at no point am i even remotely uncertain that the same hands/mind behind the “reflecting on the first watch” lp are helming the vessel-controls herein, it is at times woefully apparent that the sound of contemporary recording technology has regressed a considerable amount since 1978... but certainly not enough to hinder your enjoyment of cellutron’s wonderfully zonked bulb-emanations (god bless this man & his spirit, still quite in tact...) - some lovely snatches of loren mazzacane-ish bedroom guitar weep, backwards fx, and of course those arp 2600 squeals and moans.
copies of this disc (a proper, replicated one at at that) shipped directly to mms from robert greely’s rural indiana stronghold; not something you’ll find at your local wal-mart (or... anywhere else in this universe or the next) - quite special. |
