Air Liquide: This Is A Mind Trip 12″ EP
In probably the least acknowledged comeback of the year, Air Liquide released their first record since 2004 (and tbh, it’s been a lot longer since I’ve heard anything by this group). The A-side is far away from ambient or acid techno, it’s a slow, heavy, noisy psychedelic rock crusher with longtime collaborator Mary Applegate delivering spoken lyrics which aren’t unlike that “it’s the point of greatest intensity” speech that’s been sampled on a million tracks since the early ’90s. “Die Singende Saege” isn’t nearly as overpowering, it’s more like stumbling around a snowy forest. Finally, “Zeitgeber 3” is a spooky acid techno jam like the old days, but covered with the thick, haunting echo of the other tracks.
