2012EP#1

CLOUDLAND CANYON-AURELIUA 12"/ GREAT  POP SUPPLEMENT

more info at; 
the great pop supplement

gps is one of our favorite labels of all time released this one...a long time in the works, almost like a 2nd volume of silver tongued sisyphus from a few years back.

Our friends at aquarius records said the following about the 12" on their weekly update;

CLOUDLAND CANYON Aureliua (The Great Pop Supplement) 12" 11.98

It seems like maybe it was inevitable, but SF's Cloudland Canyon have finally ditched the last remaining trappings of whatever sort of band they may have been before, and now emerged a fully fledged modern day psychedelic krautrocking combo who are masters of their craft. This new super limited, import 12" finds CC exploring that sound, opening with a serious kosmische kraut / new age trip out, a slow building pulsing shimmering synthscape, before driving synths take over and transform the track into a dizzying swirl of looped and arpeggiated synth cascades, cyclical and repetitive, tranced out and mesmerizing, a churning synth swirl beneath a sky full of tangled melodies.

The B side is much more laid back, a woozy cosmic groove with a pulsing house music throb, all swirly and cinematic, until a seriously crunchy beat kicks in, super dubbed out and almost industrial sounding, like some lost DHR jam or maybe early Techno Animal - whatever it reminds you of, it kicks ass, and turns the record into something else entirely. The record begins to wind down in another dizzying sprawl of throbbing synth swirl, this time over a stuttering New Order like beat, and driven by stuttery ethereal vocal loops. Sweet. Mastered by Sonic Boom of the legendary spacemen 3.

LIMITED TO 500 COPIES. In fact, we have less than ten, and it's very likely these will be the last ones we can get. Pressed on foggy clear vinyl!
