The music on this disc is the result of a strange and ridiculous ritual on a boat in the San Francisco Bay. People gathered in costume to dance and celebrate Halloween. Jonah Sharp aka Spacetime Continuum and Tasho Nicolopulos aka Its Own Infinite Flower improvised electronic soundscapes as the boat sailed among the bridges and islands, under the moon and fog. These recordings were captured in 2017 and 2018 at the annual Sunset Sound System Halloween cruise, originally issued on Reflective Records.

Special thanks to Galen, Solar, the extended Sunset Family, Pascal,
and Know:Audio.

After twenty long years, it gladdens the heart to see Jonah Sharp and his Spacetime Continuum project get a CD release, so good, in fact, that we should anoint a national holiday in his honor. He’s not only back in fine form, the preceding years not diminishing by one iota his extraordinary compositional talents, but he’s joined by newcomer Its Own Infinite Flower, and together, these two both serve well the Namlook legacy while expanding its legendary remit. This is the stuff of percolating dreams, of bubbling, pulsing, rainbow-hued hallucinations, a sonic realm where tones bend reality, stop (chrono)logical progression, and send our collective imaginations soaring. “Rat Rock Island”, odd title notwithstanding, makes use of some curling, coarse filter sweeps that paint pictures of fantastic alien tundra and grand interplanetary explorations, its astronauts cryosleeping in analog bubblebaths. The crackling fulminations opening “Empress Ice” vie magnificently with some powerfully-rendered modular modalities; there’s some real bite and grit to these sequenced plasticscapes, the breadth of noises, sounds, and substances alternately quirky, magnetic, and fairly irresistible. Sharp and his new cohort are dangling their muses high above the stars and returning to earth cloaked in sparkling, eerie patinas of shifting, kaleidoscopic detritus that dazzle the eardrum. Hell of an eyeful, too. Welcome back.

This is excellent. Reminiscent of Namlook’s Permutations in some regards. Wide ranging, always interesting and beautiful. Thanks Carpe Sonum and Shawn. thirdsystem
