Avarus LP reviewed in the Psychotropic Zone, Finland
Holy Crap SALE - Get yours today for ONLY $7 - email: jerkfree@gmail
put "Take me in the ZONE" in the subject line.
"It’s been four year since the latest official Avarus albums IV and Toosassa were released, but there have been a couple of tapes since then. On Salon des Amateurs this Finnish free form experimental psych rock/folk/jazz/electronic outfit is joined by Jeffrey Alexander (electric guitar, Black Forest/Black Sea, Secret Eye Records etc.) from the US and Moritz Kleiner (synthesizer) from Germany. Other players are this time Jukka Räisänen (electric bass), Lars Mattila (electric guitar), Arttu Partinen (percussion), Tero Niskanen (synthesizer). These two, untitled side-long tracks on this very nice vinyl album were both recorded spontaneously at Kunsthalle in Düsseldorf, Germany, on May 30 2011 when Avarus was on their European tour. The sound quality is good and the band is clearly in great and inspirational mood. The A side starts off slowly with some electronic sounds and hypnotic bass line and monotonic guitar while Arttu slowly lets the rhythm grow. The track gets VERY hypnotic and trance-inducing in the middle and you will be transported into this strange, psychedelic Avarus world that only exists during their gigs. On side B they have a nice, almost dub like beat going and even some chord changes, until the track cools down into weird, quiet, jazzy drone. I might not be the right person to review this music since I don’t really know many bands like this, but I think Avarus is a great band and I do enjoy their strange, improvisational aural trips even if they’re pretty primitive, monotonic and whimsical. Or maybe that’s exactly the reason!"

Astrophysics, Biology and the Grateful Dead.
Author unknown:
"Astrophysics, Biology and the Grateful Dead. One theory I have is that there are a few moments in the Scarlet Jam Greek 84 which are quintessential pivotal moments in the history of the Grateful Dead as well as the Universe. Of course there is always infinity, and gravity, the time/space continuum, or not, electro-magnetic forces, strong and weak nuclear reactions, matter and energy, and various givens, and various theologies. But I believe the section of Grateful Dead, and Jerry's playing from about 11:00 minutes to post 11:17 in Scarlet Touch Fire Greek 84 is the key pivotal moment in the entire history of the Universe. Yes, there are always these key moments, but this one is special. Check out this recording. The whole thing is the context, within everything else, including all Grateful Dead. But listen close 11:00>11:09, 11:12>11:13 Jerry completes the greatest lick ever, leading into the "twirl down" in the 11:15>11:17 range where my entire brain is always re-written, or at least "refreshed", re-aligning all that needs to be re-aligned. For me, this is the greatest Grateful Dead moment recorded. In a sense it was all uphill to here, and all downhill after (kind of going on the Alpine 89 phrase theme). Always a fractal on an exponential curve, and always a non-linear conduit. Those licks bridge a big gap for me. They tie the entire Universe together."
