“The enigma is high on this one, pairing a side of intricate flamenco, jazz-fusion, avant-classical experiments, folkways rooted grubbers and sinewy post-punk with a far more oblique B-side counterpoint of abstract atmospheres, acoustic psych and drone.
Unpronounceable project IBDIJMOEFT tap into The Trilogy Tapes’ guess-again sprawl with a 65 minute trip with scant pointers bar a cryptic reference to Guild 18 (aye, who the fuck?) and let the music do the talking. The A-side charms with armfuls of curios chasing a spiritual dragon between Mahavishnu Orchestra-esque jazz-fusion thru a passage of what appears to be indigenous American drum music to nyabinghi with hyptnoc flutes, to insectoid industrial skitters and reversed post-punk sinews.
Its B-side is where it gets weirder and harder to place, recalling Light Sounds Dark compilations in its seamless transition between strands of gloaming synth music and drone flickering with aether voices that pass into blood curdling howls and foggy murmurations, eventually listing to pitching acoustic psych strums.”
Thanks Boomkat!
