about

Bringing their trilogy to completion, Food Pyramid’s latest cassette for Moon Glyph, “III” captures the trio at their most sweeping – inviting fourth and fifth members into the mix and adding an array of sensations to their palette of kosmsiche-inspired compositions. Having played out consistently for a year or so, “III” is a recorded portrait of the group performing at an invigorated level of adventurousness. Note the arpeggiated guitars on “Last Light” and “Last Shuttle to the Red Planet,” “Cycloscope”‘s synth-euphorics and the unbridled sax- and piano-playing in the album’s final moments. On display is a duality that owes much to the group’s improvisational core: this collection of tracks serves not only as a summation of the first two records, but also as a gaze into Food Pyramid’s future.

While I'm a huge fan of electronic music, I love when these projects also introduce a narrative aspect. The unfolding history of Martin's musical journey adds such a wonderful dimension while listening to these albums. Not to mention the great visuals, too. M0T0M

From Tomorrow
by The Oscillation

supported by 4 fans who also own “III”

The Oscillation are one of the best bands in the world. I have all the recent stuff on vinyl and was delighted to pick this harder-to-find earlier LP off via Bandcamp. These tunes are a bit more crisp and punchy than the later stuff with an obvious nod to Spacemen 3/Spiritualized and show them at an earlier stage of their psych journey. Needless to say, it is brilliant, panoramic, adrenaline-fuelled and life-affirming stuff. deadshotkeen

Volume Three

I lived and worked in Berlin the 80s. West Berlin. The legendary Hansa Studios. Heard rumours about Martin’s studio, and snippets of music. I never managed to connect with him though. So it’s a delight that his catalog is now being shared with the world. Sounding simultaneously timeless and futuristic. Thank you. geniusjones

This is Psychedelic daydream, it picks you up and taskes you away. It's absolutely glorious, euphoric and hypnotic. See for yourself and float away like a feather. The Midnight Toker.
