(sic!), som de heter, är ett projekt av medlemmar från S/T och Crevice. S/T från Tyskland, och Crevice från Texas, USA. Enligt texten på baksidan av skivan så är alltså skivan inspelad i Texas, sedan mixad Frankfurt. Det låter ganska omständigt, men de har säkert lagt ner en massa arbete på det hela. Och jag undrar var all skitighet uppstod, var det i Tyskland eller i USA? Detta är en riktigt krut rockare full med expriment i psychedelisk anda. Båda banden som ligger bakom (sic!) har en bakgrund av psychedelisk och exprimentell musik, trots det så är inte 'Ahtoon Eskaloon' det mest lyckade album av denna typ av musik. Lite för skränigt, och de har en tendens att stå och stampa lite för länge på samma ställe tyckar jag. Men skivan har trots allt några få fina stunder, men lyckas inte fånga full review Stoner Planet (Swede

(Sic!) is a multi-national collaboration between two of the
finest contemporary practitioners of intergalactic kraut/psychexploration. We see German S/T teaming up with Texas' spaceheadsCrevice for a seamlessly shifting krautrock explosion of unequalledfrenzy andbrain-stimulating swelling textures. Both sides of this vinyl onlyrelease weave three long time-bending tracks. "Der Gesang der Atome"starts things brilliantly, beginning with an alien low-key drone withdogs barking in the distance, before amping up into the rumbling artrock jamming of "Ahtoon Eskaloon (including C2H5OH)." It's anabsolutely wonderful looping piece of music, a mesh of supersonicguitars, trebly echoing keyboard, rumbling saxophone and monotonouspercussion. The fact that it holds some strange sort of spiralingintensity with the staggeringly adept saxophone against the noisysqualls of echo and feedback only gives me more respect for theirchosen track. In the last section it calms down and disappears withsome odd dialogue snippets over soft layers of keyboard. "Airbag in MyHead" ends the first side and offers a somewhat altered brainchemistry as sirens, horns and highly enjoyable washes ofsweat-inducing guitar attacks create a jaw-droppingly bizarre mix ofsound.The b-side kicks off with a dark folk chant that naturallyleads to the full-on monster groove of "Automo.tif." It's a constantlyevolving myriad of sounds that at times float parallel to one anotherand in the next unite in a full-throttle voyage through a wall offuzz. The epic finale continues even further out into cosmicterritories, occasionally incorporating German spoken word among theatmospheric yet intense textures, which certainly adds something tothe general oddness. (Sic!) is heavily influenced by the earlykrautrock movement but as with contemporary rock icons like JapaneseBoredoms and Acid Mothers Temple, they shape their own unique mantrasof phased guitars, electronics and odd sounds.
