Hello Earthlings!
From the netherland of the cosmos here come The Diaphanoids. With a bizarre and mind-boggling musical background (junk rock, alternative library music for TV, songwriting for Luciano Pavarotti, Blackbox and many techno-/house releases during the nineties, orchestral composers, arrangers, producers), yours truly psychonauts are delivering their own unique blend of lunar funkadelia, spaced-out disco, astro rock, galactic soul, confuzed boogie, congotronics, krautgrooves, and seventies’ soundtracks, with titles like excerpts from trashy XYZ series psi/sci-fi movies.
Their debut album “Astral Weekends” is released on Stevie Kotey’s label Bear Funk. So turn your dream machine on, get off your psychic asses and start walking on the laser’s edge…
Up close you can smell real good: analogue bubble sounds, tone floaters, motorik-mekanik grooves, uncontrolled floods of de-tuned vintage synthesizers (moog modular -Yamaha cs 80-arp 2600-arp sequencer-Roland synths-arp omni 2-eminent-ems aks-oberheim-mellotron-jx 3p-jx 8p-juno, vcs 3 synthesizer, prepared piano, modified revox a77 tape recorder…), banshee-like Frippertronics guitars, phosphorent drums, and glaxo bass, spectral she-muses…
All aboard the space train captained by tin pac-men, from toy planets. 1972-1977-1978-1979-1980/// Berlin-Munich-London-Paris-New York…we’ve seen the best minds of those generations crisped and motherfunked by the active oxidants of brainium zythernitrate.
The Diaphanoids (visible division) are: Andrea Bellentani and Simon Maccari. No aliens or humans have been harmed during these recordings. We’re so silver…what about you?
