Various doses of mind altering audio.

QUALITATIVE COMMENTS: (with 24 mg) There was a slow buildup to a ++ or more over the course of about three hours. Extremely tranquil, and no hint of any body toxicity whatsoever. More than tranquil, I was completely at peace, in a beautiful, benign, and placid place. There was something residual that extended into the sleep period, and was possibly still there in the morning.

Mr. Henry

Mr. Henry is one of the most confident and disquieting characters in the Italian alternative scene.
His gut passion for blues brings him to be drawn to various local bands until personal as well as musical issues push him towards a search for a more personal vision with the subsequent withdrawal from the scene which he had lived and frequented until then.
In the next three-four years, 100 or so songs were born, the majority of which were short and intimate: personal displays, which Mr.Henry has fun distorting and rendering unpredictable, as much in the English lyrics as in the structure of the tunes.
On stage, Mr.Henry is able to wriggle, writhe, sway, shout and mistreat his guitar as if he is playing punk, giving life and very physical and intense performances as he demonstred as opening act for I AM KLOOT, BOBBY CONN and during a  succeful solitary tour in the USA in 2007
His deep voice reminds of artists such as Mark Lanegan and Steve Von Till and his technique is, on some levels, similar to artists such as Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) and Ed Harcourt, without ignoring some apocalyptic folk eccentricity.
From 2003 Mr. Henry  released three critically acllaimed albums:

- "Lazily Go Through… " (Ghost Records - 2003) 
The record shows in full Mr.Henry's love for the Blues, filtered through the experiences of names as Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Captain Beefheart. With a throat that reveals a voice as deep as Mark Sandman and Barry Adamson ones.

Mr.Henry is punk and romantic, threatening playful at the same time. Martini Bros
A stunning First Album - Kathodik
I almost don't believe this is a Debut! - IDBOX

- "& the Hot Rats" (Suiteside/Pulverandasche - 2006)  
The Hot Rats is the name of the band that join Mr.Henry on stage, but it's also an homage to the genius of Frank Zappa. This this multi-layered record is a patchwork of many influences like country and blues music, played with a raw and experimental mood. 

The new surprise from Varese has the name of Mr. Henry. The breath of & the Hot Rats is deep and rock, with its western minimal minuets that lead on the desert paths preaviously explored by Calexico.   4/5 Rumore
A convincing album, that creeps under the skin without the need of exasperated melancholies or excesses in the compositions, that hits straight in the face for its sincerity and the freshness of the musical proposal, that recalls more America than Italy and that although its acid oddness, charms me totally.    Rocklab

- "Ornery" (Terra Desolata - 2008). 
"Ornery" was compsed, perfomed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Mr. Henry alone.  There are all the elements of the previous 2 albums ( slow dark ballads, rock'n'roll attidute, sophisticated harmonies, weird song structures, meaningless vocalizing ) mixed with pearcing electronica, experimental/noisy sounds and lots of electric guitars.

sometimes music is a better friend than a human

Valerio Orlandini is a composer and sound designer from Florence, Italy. Active since 2005 in the field of ambient/industrial music, he then oriented his research towards a meeting point of electroacoustic and concrete music, field recordings and electronic sound design, also integrating his studies in biology and informatics.

Popol Vuh are considered as an influential German 70s Progressive Rock avant-garde act and are known as a pioneering band in Ambient-Electronica and Progressive Rock Music. Their records "Affenstunde" (1971) and "In den Gärten Pharaos" (1972), played with the Moog III Synthesizer, are claimed to be fundamentally influencing works in Electronica. They went down in the annals of German film music history with their soundtracks for legendary cinema classics like "Aguirre", "Fitzcarraldo", "Nosfeartu" and "Cobra Verde" by German film director Werner Herzog. 

In the light of a current rediscovery of the 1970s Ambient- Electronica and German Progressive Rock movement featuring bands like Kraftwerk, Can, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze or Harmonia, Popol Vuh is now the 2nd band, being remixed by today´s Electronica avant-garde, including treats by Stereolab, Mouse on Mars, Peter Kruder (Kruder & Dorfmeister), Thomas Fehlmann (The Orb), Moritz von Oswald, A Critical Mass, Alex Barck (Jazzanova), Roland Appel, Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), and Haswell & Hecker. 

 Many thanks to the great interest and the great mixes by all of the above.

I have to admit that sometimes it’s hard to write about music. Not only is it difficult to put the right words that have concrete meaning to something that exists in an abstract and tangible way, but I often run out of adjectives to describe particular sounds, attempting not to stay repetitive in my observations. There is only so much I can say about “ambient” and “drone” and “noise” and “experimental”. Often, after re-reading my write ups from years ago, words like “lush”, “somber”, and “textured”, begin to lose all of their meaning, drowning in sounds which swallow the void. Thankfully there is always the music itself, which does a much better job at convincing the listener of its value. The only thing that’s left for me to do is to guide you towards the source.
Attilio Novellino produces experimental soundscapes, that drone out the noise in lush ambient textures. The somber tones are enriched with distortion and swell beyond the horizon until they recede like dark waters after the storm. Elements of white noise are also present throughout the frequency rich pads, which swirl in the ocean of motionless layers. Exploring the boundaries between melody, dissonance and noise, Novellino incorporates electronics, guitar, piano and field recordings to build up the foundation of his atmospheric work.“Through Glass emerged from thoughts about the power of the light filtered through glass: as the light, so the sound can be reflected in a thousand directions, giving rise to previously inaudible material, with a mysterious and intense charm.”Through Glass is only a second full length release for the Italian “soundartist”, Attilio Novellino. His debut album, Anonymous Said (Inglorious Ocean, 2009) was recorded under a curious moniker, Un Vortice Di Bassa Pressione (tr. A Vortex Of Low Pressure). The production on Through Glass is very mature, rich, and clean (even though noise is the predominant element in the composition). This music will absolutely appeal to fans of Tim Hecker,Fennesz, Stephan Mathieu, Ben Frost and Lawrence English. This is another win for Alexandr Vatagin‘s Valeot Records which continues to steadily release quality material and satisfy my cravings… Keep ‘em coming!
