Mushroom Vimana

by Binar (Paul Nagle & Andy Pickford)

supported by

John Cratchley Nagle and Pickford! That nefarious duo up to no good again (obviously the counselling didn't work)...back playing electronic doodads and thingummy's and enjoying themselves ever so, and getting their fans all hot and bothered again...just who do they think they are?
It's tantamount to dissent in the ranks!

S G I love that I can listen to all these really cool tunes without having to spank anyone, even if you do deserve it! :-)

Ian Black fabulous return from the sorely missed duo.
The trademark compositions are brought bang up to date, and I am happy to say quality AND quality.
one happy fan. I just hope that earlier classics like truth sets us free and Ramayana become available on bandcamp. I also hope to see them improvisation sometime soon especially as the guys enjoy their work together so much. 5/5.

about

(Absolutely loving your comments dudes!)

After a ten year hiatus, Paul Nagle & Andy Pickford returned as Binar to perform a live improvised concert of Electronica at Awakenings, Burton-on-Trent, July 4 2015, in front of a packed audience of chairs. A few humans occupied some of those chairs and a splendid time was had by those chairs and possibly also by the humans sitting on them. Paul and Andy liked it too, it was jolly spiffy.
The album includes an additional studio improvisation, Vimanarama. We have absolutely no idea when it was created.

A video of the Awakenings performance using an outboard audio feed and with a ton of free glitches for your personal amusement can be found here: youtu.be/Kkm9kSHzxAQ
A video of Floatylite and Afterfloater together (called Floaters) was also made and can be found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dREU16fzlKE

Binar would like to point out that no goats were rustled during the performance of this album.

"As soon as we hear these dark breezes shadowed by voices and rustles of goats, these noises came from beyond the grave and these electronic distortions which have as equivalence only the blue smoke stemming out from psychotic clouds; the imprint Binar is back."

"This album is loads better than Spindragons", says the little blue gnome who lives in the cubby hole, before adding "I don't like dragons much anyway, they ate all my biscuits and they light their farts".

"An outstanding example of British Post-Berlin School Improvisational Electronica", writes a spider-mite (now sadly deceased) from next-door's shrubbery.

"A dog's bollocks collection of f*ck off noodliness you just can't get any frenchie to come close to!", exclaimed a local badger.

"Listening to this wonderful music will take you to Nirvana. But I was trying to get near Barnsley, never mind. Be kind to pussy" - The Daily Llama.

"Although not strictly Electronica in the Gallic sense of the word, the unique music of Binar is at least made by actual electronic music vetrans, as opposed to wealthy geezers who own knob-boxes to stand candle-holders and paperweights on, and who added a few synth lines into their past pop records before attracting the interest of Jean Michel Jarre", blogged Bob the lop-eared rabbit, in his weekly blogspot "Bob's Blogs".
_____________________________________________________

A 24bit version of this album is available to anyone who returns from Valhalla with a lock of Freyr's muff.

A CD pressing is planned to coincide with the actual appearance of the Planet Nibiru and the following statement by the President of The United States : "Well blow me down, it's Nibiru! God bless Merica".

Binar would like to confess that a few very tiny edits got made to the original live recording in order to remove very obvious f*ckups. Less obvious f*ckups, along with several crackles and glitches, have been left in however. We hope this does not spoil your special moment of anoraky blissfulness.

For me, this is arguably ARC's best album, all of them being live, this is the only one that has edited out the applause between songs, something better suited for capturing the feel of a rock concert, but for ambient music can be quite jarring. Favorite track: Cherry Bomb. Paul Asbury Seaman

honestly this album takes quite a bit of time and many listening rounds to actually "get into". No doubt it is technically excellent, with more advanced composition elements than earlier records, however it isn't that easily accessible either. Perhaps this is actually a strength as each time you will listen to there will be more details to discover. Martin Richter

Paul aquired a huge dotcom modular synth to add to his analog gear and more. Let's check what kind of sound he will have in his sequences. well it sounds also huge and compact, very moogish. Check it markus mala
