OFF: VocoKesh

[Chuck Rosenberg]

Hello all,

The new Lexicon Devil reissue is out. This time it's the first Vocokesh album
from Richard Franecki after his departure from F/i, "ispepnaibara", which
sounds to me to be their most consistent release, quite excellent space-rock,
loads of fantastic guitar playing from Richard F. In a review of their '98
album "Paradise Revisited" in Aural Innovations, Doug Walker basically
accuses drummer Jan Schober of having Thompson-itis, but the music is good
enough so that it's not much of a detraction (though if the drums had simply
been mixed lower, and the same can be said for Xenon Codex...). Also includes
another vinyl-only EP, part of an F/i split from '92. Definitely recommended,
and retailing for only $11.

Chuck

PS: Was listening to Quark last night... Is there a mellotron used on
"Spirit"?? wow, what a sound...
