Music from a Parallel Dimension

10 Jul

Now available exclusively HERE (available @ iTunes/Amazon/Google Play, etc. real soon)

In the third full-length installment of “The Robotic Hands of God” series, “Music from a Parallel Dimension”, the Dreadnots explore a new frontier in their repertoire of electronic, sample-based music. However, this time, the only sampled sounds are the percussive notes, as all other sounds are generated by analog synths, composed and played live over each of the 8 tracks of progressive music. Inspired by the works of Klaus Schulze , Bruce Haack, and the transforming sounds of 60s & 70s era prog-rock, “Music from a Parallel Dimension” plays like the sound track to a sci-fi film, full of strange and curious psychedelia.
Powerful and dynamic, the drum programming on this effort penetrates through the environment and drives the massive sounds of this extraordinary piece of music, segmented into 8 movements. The dense auditory environment created by the warm analog sounds of the vintage synths, is heady and vastly full of imagination and fantastic landscapes of sound. Presented for your listening pleasure by Audio Reconnaissance and Dreadnots Music, this solo effort stands apart from the previous releases, as the narrative is left up to the listener to create. Straying away from the usual vocal samples that tell the story of the record, this recording is without them for the first time in this series.
“Music from a Parallel Dimension” is a rhythmic signal in space, waiting to be received on your stereo and enjoyed by its audience. Let this full-length album take you places, in your own dimension. Play it loud, and enjoy the psychedelic sounds of “The Robotic Hands of God: Music from a Parallel Dimension”

8 Tracks/ Run time: 41 minutes

“While earlier installments of Dreadnots’ Robotic Hands of God series could serve as the soundtrack to the End of Days, this is the record you’ll want when you discover that Jesus was an alien and the afterlife involves chillin’ in the non-metaphorical cosmos for all eternity.”

— Margaret Welsh (Pittsburgh City Paper)

Id Obelus and Richard Cook are ‘Creatures Of Habit’

22 Jun

Id Obelus and Richard Cook have both been cranking out rap songs since the early to mid 80′s.  After all these years, it’s fair to say that neither of them have recieved the respect they deserve.

Joining forces for the first time to express their mutual love for hip hop and indignation for unjustly being slept on, these two veteran mc’s  have put together an album full of witty lyricism over classic boom bap production by Cook.

This album is raw uncut dope in it’s purest form… but don’t take our word for it, check it out for yourself… it’s *FREE!!! courtesy of the good folks @ wormusic and from us here @ audio recon
