Psychomuzak was guitarist Dean Carter's space rock band, who released two albums in the 90s. Starting off like Gottsching's Inventions for Electric Guitar, with sound on sound echo guitar, the music starts to take shape when Camel's Andy Ward begins bashing on the drum kit. Other guests include King Crimson's David Cross on violin and Mandragora's Simon Williams on keyboards. And while I'll readily admit to having too many modern space rock albums, Psychomuzak goes to places most do not. Four long tracks of deep space rock and trance, with Carter's echoplex providing a foundation. Once you go past the triumvirate of Gottsching, Reichel, and Schickert, there aren't a lot of examples of this kind of Krautrock tinged space rock in the marketplace. This is a title worthy of a revisionist outlook.
Ownership: CD: 1997 Delerium. 2xCD. Standard jewel release. Purchased new near the time of release. The second CD is made up of "chant" and "drone" variations of the CD proper. I haven't taken the time to listen to it myself.
1998; 6/5/21; 4/30/23 (new entry)
