Here's a reissue of the long sold out 'Drone Jams Vol. I'. Channelling the greats of
both kosmische and spacerock, 'Drone Jams Vol I' is a triumph of sparse spacey
krautrock. The rawness of the LP is refreshing and the control is admirable; where
other bands would be tempted to fall into the freakout mode, these guys keep it tight
and have produced an LP of genuinely top level kosmische music.

science fiction and the cosmos to create beautifully haunting visions of a not too

electronic hallucinations as chilled as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze to more
organic post rock offerings in the vein of Mogwai and Explosions In The Sky.

Originally released as a super limited cassette at the beginning of the year (on Lazy
Octopus in Scandinavia and by Eggs In Aspic in the UK), CB3's debut album finally gets
the vinyl treatment. Mr John McBain has provided his expert vinyl-mastering skills once
again and the music on this LP does not fail to deliver as those in the know have
already confirmed. "...an album that needs to be heard and, indeed, any traveler along
the psychedelic highway NEEDS this in their life. As previously alluded to, how this
band are not lauded is beyond me but hopefully this release will change that and CB3
become permanent fixtures on psych's top table." ~Dayz Of Purple & Orange. Comes on

trio Culto Al Qondor was previously known as Qondor. Fans of a.o. Neu!, Hawkwind and
the Peruvian psych scene of the late '60s and early '70s (think Telegraph Avenue,

improv... it's all here. And, once again, the tracks have been given the mastering
treatment from Mr John McBain. You will meet Fanatism somewhere on the crossroads
between Stooges Street, Can Road and Morricone Avenue. "The variety contained within
makes it a real smorgasbord of delights... the way it trips from motorik based
krautrock to more pastoral psych and finishing with some retro synth sounds is truly
wonderful and goes to make this an album of many dimensions... a trait that is sadly
missing in so much music these days." ~Dayz Of Purple & Orange.

from the more traditional post-rock attitude that characterized their first album.

4 Waves Of Thricomes 14:13
5 The Big Smoke With Neptune 3:12
6 Fire In Sight 4:05
Having previously released albums by bands from Argentina (Kill West) and Peru
(Culto Al Qondor), the next stop on the Drone Rock Records tour of South America
is Chile. Already known as a hot-bed of amazing modern psychedlic music (think
Follakzoid, Holydrug Couple, Chicos De Nazca), `Atlantis Mirage' by Los Tabanos
Experience only enhances that reputation. In the words of the band themselves
"the music of Los Tabanos Experience walks between space rock, heavy psychedelia
and improvised jams" and I don't think I could sum it up better myself. This is
South American stoner-rock at its finest. "The sonic-chefs of Los Tabanos Experience
brings their flavours straight from Santiago, Chile, composed and improvised live
in the cookroom. For any connossieur in the free forms of heavy psychedelic rock,
this is a real succulent treat not to be missed.

A1 Das Motorik 06:56
A2 Diver 13:48
B1 Pterozistor 11:41
B1 Covered By Night 08:30
The four tracks on this debut album by Ukrainian psych band Sex Blender tick so many
boxes blending elements of motorik, spacerock, stoner rock and krautrock to create
a fantastic modern psych classic. "Another tour de force from Drone Rock Records, who
continue their circumnavigation of the psych world with this epic album from Ukraine's
Sex Blender. Four monoliths of guitar-fronted power, each having its own character
and drawing from a heady palette of influences that come together to create an
experience that is, beyond anything else, seismic."

A3 SYZYGY 5:56
A4 Beneath The Surface 6:45
B1 Visions 2:40
B2 Celestial Light 17:32
(Note : LP , purple vinyl)
The next release on Drone Rock Records sees the welcome return of Stereocilia, AKA
Bristol based composer and drones/loops extraordinaire John Scott. His debut vinyl
album, ‘Hive Mind’, released on DRR back in October 2017, was a personal favourite
and captured a core essence of the kind of music I sought out to represent when I
started the label. ‘The Silence That Follows’ is a phenomenal and truly atmospheric
follow up which explores new territories and themes but could still essentially be
viewed as a companion piece to ‘Hive Mind’. This is an album to be lost in as it
transports you away in a droney bliss.

B2 Don't Let Go 6:54
B3 Love 5:51
"In the Autumn of 2018 I was driving to work and had the CD of "The Sound Of Young
America" by The Voices playing on the car stereo. Capturing elements of Spacemen 3
and MBV while creating their own distinctive sound, I've loved this album ever since
it was released back in 2007. I suddenly realised that this amazing album had never
been made available on vinyl. And then I remembered that I ran my own record label.
Not sure why it took me so long to put 2 and 2 together but I contacted the band
immediately and the wheels were quickly put into motion. As it happens, the band were
in the process of putting out a new album via their Bandcamp page and also remastering
their earlier work so the timing could not have been better. The artwork and audio
have been given a bit of a make over and a definitive version of this great and often
over-looked album has now been given the Drone Rock Records treatment. "~Drone Rock
Records. During their four year life span they released the lauded 2007 album
"The Sound Of Young America" via My Kung Fu, including the title track, a blistering
wall of sound with washed out vocals.

B1 Fractured Haircut 8:41
B2 Dim Sun 9:02
Debut vinyl album by Eye Make The Horizon from Sweden. Mixing modern psych and post
punk with improvised free-jazz style jams, 'Dim Sun' is possibly the most challenging
yet rewarding title released on Drone Rock Records. The band themselves have a
fantastic pedigree with most of the band appearing in such renowned Swedish psychedelic
outfits as Kungens Man, Fanatism, Automatism and Sista Maj.
Ed. of 250 copies on clear vinyl.

Fyra (four). Four refers to the amount of tracks on the album which were whittled

The Aliens descended from the ashes of the acclaimed Beta Band in the mid-noughties

genres. Immediately signed to EMI their debut album made the UK top-50 before the
bottom fell out of the industry in the wake of the digital piracy tidal wave. The
Aliens managed to release a second album before vanishing off the face of the Earth
completely... until now. As a prelude to their return in 2020 The Aliens have beamed
down a live recording from the archives taken from a show on a secret Moonbase.
'Live On The Moon' is presented as a special, limited edition (300 copies) double
LP by Drone Rock Records with the first disc pressed on 'blue moon' transparent

on pink vinyl.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRR 036 EYE MAKE THE HORIZON ELECTRIC REMAINS LP 06.2020
"The recording of "Electric Remains" was pretty much like our last record, "Dim Sun".
We met up in our little place, pressed "Rec" on the machine and went at it. After
that, it's all a process of listening, deciding 'this is a tune', cutting off loose
ends. Every tune on the album is fully improvised, with no overdubs added. Yet,
they remain tunes, or songs, each one its own melodic or rhythmic idea, following
its own inner logic until the song ends." ~Eye Make The Horizon.
Psychedelic-improv-free-jazz. Only a handful available, so order fast! Comes on
clear vinyl.

tones.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRR 040 THE VOICES DEATH OF A LOVER'S LP 11.2020
After releasing 'The Sound Of Young America' on vinyl for the first time, it was an
obvious step to delve further into the back catalogue of Welsh psychedelic shoe-gazers
The Voices. 'Death Of A Lover's Song' was the band's third album, released on CD only
back in 2009. Ethereal vocals and waves of effect-laden guitar ensure the obvious
comparisons to the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Spacemen 3 but The
Voices carry it off while maintaining their own take on modern shoegaze.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRR 041 CHINO BURGA LETANIAS LP 11.2020
(Note : LP , 250 copies on red vinyl)
Having released two albums with Peruvian spacerockers Culto Al Qondor, their frontman
Chino Burga comes with a solo effort. Chino recorded the album entirely at home during
Covid-19 lockdown. 'Letanias' has been influenced by the likes of Klaus Schulze and
Manuel Gottsching (Ash Ra Temple, Tangerine Dream, Ashra) which resulted in two more
than 20 minutes monolithic tracks of kosmiche minimalism and deep space sounds.

DRR 047 FANATISM INVERTED EVOLUTION LP 11.2021
The second album from Swedish psychonauts Fanatism. The eagerly awaited follow up to
their rather fantastic 2018 debut, 'The Future Past', delivers and then some. It is
a record that refuses to be defined by one genre or style but instead simply
highlights the amount of talent and musical tastes this close-knit group of friends
bring to the table. With a core element of the band being heavily involved in other
modern Scandi psych bands (namely Kungens Män, Automatism and Eye Make The Horizon)
it is audibly obvious that these guys are clearly comfortable riffing off and
improvising with each other. 'Inverted Evolution' is both a natural progression away
from and a companion piece to its mighty fine predecessor. 'Inverted Evolution' is
a co-release with the like-minded, American micro-label Centripetal Force. Limited
to 500 copies.

DRR 048 THE HOLOGRAM PEOPLE : SACRED RITUAL TO UNLOCK THE LP 01.2022
MOUNTAIN PORTAL
The first release of 2022 on Drone Rock Records is 'Sacred Ritual To Unlock The
Mountain Portal', the rather impressive debut from The Hologram People. This pair
of space cadets have already gained a reputation for fusing various elements of
the psychedelic music spectrum and forging a unique sound of their own. The album
was originally released on cassette and CD by Woodford Halse and has been crying
out for the DRR vinyl treatment.
The Hologram People is:
Jonathan Parkes (AKA Dreamlord): guitar/bass/synth/organ/drums/percussion
Dom Keen (AKA Kosmische): guitar/bass/synth/keys/organ.
For the recording of the 'Sacred Ritual To Unlock the Mountain Portal' album
they were joined by Manon Beuchot (vocals on 'Étoil Voyageuse'), Hattie Cooke
(vocals on 'Sun Breaks On Saturn's Return') and Jimmy Riddle (lead Gibson SG
guitar on 'Sacred Ritual To Unlock The Sacred Mountain Portal').
