Pure Phase Ensemble - Complete Live Album

Karol Schwarz, the Saturnine musician and record-label owner behind The Space Fest, picks me up next morning and we drive in clear, pale blue Baltic light down the long causeway across the old Hanseatic harbour to a rehearsal studio where, as Karel explains, for the next five days we'll create seventy minutes of music with a seven-piece band to then be played live to a capacity audience

With Mercury retrograde

running in the background right now I tried not to sign anything then had to - regarding a third trip to Italy in December for one special show. The flight miles this year! Airports fill me with dread of the existential kind. Tibetan bowls on wireless ear buds are a cotton cloud. But I digress… so The Vigil live is coming up and please message me for tickets if you’re in Italy or visiting there in October!

CONFESSION

I’ve been attempting white light meditation as well as rebirthing in the freezing ocean water with Jack the dog. I’ve tried drugs, women and song but the kundalini yoga fills a hole with peacefulness that drugs, women and song have failed.  To my girlfriend’s punk horror (and what I think is a little bit of jealousy) I sometimes practise the kundalini yoga in front of her! She understands I’m constantly searching for any kind of translucent light! Blue, white, red or on this particular morning……  BLACK!

Existentialists

Flies of this world, heavy duty lifters in the sh*t shovelling stakes without the glamour of the mythical scarab beetle so revered by the Egyptians of the pyramid age. I'm glad to say we in Australia have some of the finest flies around, diverse, witty little pranksters packing every rainbow shade. High summer in Melbourne and on cue, the studio flies are going through their annual ritual of high speed life and death.

More unreleased bootleg album downloads…

The 10 tracks on The Spirit were selected from sessions where we created more than 20 songs, another 5 of them released on the False Idols EP. Rummaging through the archive turned up more unreleased songs from the same sessions. Heartbreak 69 Revisited is a 16 minute edit from the 32 minute original where we went full intuitive, wandering around the studio playing different instruments to an industrial pulse. Do You Remember and One Cylinder (the 7 inch B-side to Elevate My Love) are songs that didn’t hang in the same space as The Spirit. Ain't No Heaven and S.T.I.S. are deeply strange demo’s that were left unfinished. In an embryonic way, this (never before released) album of orphans seem to me the point of departure for Star Birth….
