04.29.10Simon Piler and The Atom Band – ‘Garden’ and ‘A DISASTER’download: [download#58#nohits] download: [download#59#nohits] Two records long overdue in the Quixodelic Record Store, finally available for you to download as zips for free. It is no secret how much I wholeheartedly dig the music of Simon Piler and The Atom Band. 'Songs From Home', 'Heimdall', and 'KINGTIME' are musical adventures, heavy on substance and sprinkled with palatable and mischievous experimental bluesy-folk dust. Now add to that ever expanding catalogue, 'Garden' (2007), and 'A DISASTER' (Unknown) - both records have their own counterpart plays as handy pdf's tucked away neatly with the downloads, and are essential listening for anyone who enjoyed the last ...

Everybody knows that the synthesizer maimed popular music in the 1980s, but here was somebody who might actually make you rethink electronic pop music completely. Not from choice, but necessity (think a 26 year old American travelling the globe with a keyboard strapped to his back, currently alighting in Italy), with the exception of impassioned vocals drenched in precision effects, electronic beats and synthetic melodies are ...

03.26.10What The Fuck Is Going On?Spring in my grey part of the universe, that's what. Little green buds at the ends of branches and ideas stirring on the stalks of brains. Historically this has been the most productive time of the year for us in the imaginary basement. March 2007 saw the first ever Daydream Generation compilation hit the ground running like a sack of bricks dropped from a wayward helicopter. March 2008 saw the formation of Quixodelic Records and us dabbling in full-length releases from some of the nicest and most talented people you'll likely never meet. Spring 2009 I suggested to everyone that ...
