The Art of Affliction and the Science of Feeling Groovy / Chokepoint [double album] (2016)

by John Elmquist's HardArt groop

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Don't be scared away by the 20 bucks bill, not including tax - in fact, this is a bundle of two albums, each one with a running time of about one hour, so the price is quite OK. Well, I've sent an email to John Elmquist on his homepage, asking where I can purchase his other albums, besides "Expeditionary Twitch", of which there are plenty. He didn't respond, or maybe my spam filter digested his reply, but anyway, the fact that he uploaded another two albums here tells me that the answer appears to be: "On Bandcamp!" Both of the albums are just as crazy as "Expeditionary Twitch", once more with fancy orchestral arrangements, odd vocals, and freaky lyrics - which means, you're going to have a real good time for your 20 bucks, not including tax. Favorite track: In the Garden.

all of it good: the whimsy, the drama, the wild, the cosmic; deftly dancing the line between order and chaos, between the sublime and the vile, between the fathomable and the ineffable. puts the listener in a liminal limbo you don't get to be in (and still enjoy!) often. Tim Patterson

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
