F/i - Blanga LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition of 300 copies on orange/yellow/red mixed colour vinyl.

Highest recommendation.

Milwaukee's F/i mastered the art of the giant guitar FUZZ meets mantric Kraut-like rhythms, and this comes highly recommended to fans of Hawkwind, Amon Duul 2, Cluster, early Pink Floyd, etc. We introduced dozens of you to their 1988 epic, Space Mantra (which we will have in stock again soon - freaking ESSENTIAL!)

The group itself has existed for over 40 years, sprung from that city's punk scene by a group of musicians who were equally inspired by the early industrial sounds of Throbbing Gristle, but also the earlier electronic explorations of Klaus Schulze, Cluster, Conrad Schnitzler, etc. and the fuzzed space-rock of Amon Duul II and Hawkwind.

Over the years, they earned fans in Jim O'Rourke and Steve Albini and toured Europe, where they have a particularly dedicated fan base.

Blanga was originally released on compact disc in 2005 on the Lexicon Devil label and it saw the core lineup of Richard Franecki, Brian Wensing and Grant Richter reconvene to release an incredible 'comeback' of sorts.

Blanga is a mind-frying mix of Hawkwind-style heavy-duty space/psych-rock and raga-like electronic meditations.

Speaking of Hawkwind and space rock, the new HEADS LP will be here Friday, thanks for your patience!
