Telefuzz:
The Ovaltine Prophecies
Free MP3 - Telefuzz - 'Slept On The Shores'
Purchase by download only:
iTunes | Emusic.com | Zunior.com | Beatport.com

The third Telefuzz full-length album. The follow up to the successful 2006 release: ‘The Financiers of Samsara’. ‘The Ovaltine Prophecies’ is the culmination of years of work by Don Verbrilli and the Telefuzz personnel. It’s best listened to in its entirety - in a dimmed room under headphones set to a comfortably loud level. A spaced out conceptual, atmospheric trip with each track seamlessly bleeding off into the next but never without a few surprise twists along the way.

 


 

Track List:
1] Beam Us Down Another Prophet 2] Dimension Lag 3] Slept On The Shores 4] Traffic And Twilight 5] The Hollow Night 6] Gardens In The Dawn 7] Abstract Trains And Imaginary Rain 8] Sacred Site 9] The Ovaltine Prophecies 10] Ascension 11] Cumulous Formations

The Verbrilli Sound debut classic from 2000. Due to popular demand we've decided to make this release available for download on iTunes.

Solus: Rhizome
Free MP3 - Solus - 'Now You're Here' [Radio Edit]
Purchase by download only:
iTunes | Emusic | Zunior.com | Beatport.com

The follow up album to the acclaimed 2005 Solus release 'Lights in the Valley'. Matt Coogan definitely raises the bar on his own musicianship and production skills for this release. Special guest musicians and vocalists help round out the eclectic feel. From straight up deep moody instrumentals to hit worthy vocal funk tracks, ‘Rhizome’ covers a wide playing field while staying true to the signature atmospheric sound introduced on ‘Lights in the Valley’. Mastered by Don Verbrilli.
This is a GREAT album. Support this, folks. - Ben Mynott, Fluid Nation, UK

  


 

Track List:
1] Rhizomatic 2] Now You're Here [feat. Second Sky] 3] April Shower 4] Missing You [feat. Leigh Myles] 5] Heavy Heads 6] Keep on Running 7] Plastique 8] Too Late to Change [feat. Second Sky] 9] Hub and Holmes 10] Fog and Rain 11] The Eye

 

 


 

 

Gel-Sol: IZ
Free MP3 - Gel-Sol - 'Secret Island'
Purchase by download only:
iTunes | Emusic | Zunior.com | Beatport.com

The follow-up album to 'Unifactor', 'IZ' explores new musical territory for Andrew Reichel in the orchestral/ symphonic vein. The listener may detect elements of artists like Stars of the Lid, Global Communication, or The KLF, but the entire experience of 'IZ' is completely original. Guitar loops, mellotron sounds, and lap steel all help enhance the organic nature of the music.
A really moving, beautiful album.
-Pete Lawrence, founder, Big Chill Fest.

  


 

Track List:
1] IZ 2] Mourning Wok 3] As Far As Eye Can See 4] Disco Bay 5] Bubble In The Sky 6] Secret Island 7] Raneboze
8] Orca 9] Your Day In The Sun

**** 4 Stars - Muzik Mag. UK, Nov. 2002
"This is what a compilation should be about. A taster, a sample, a chance to indulge yourself in new sounds, to expose yourself to the indifferences out there, the brilliance to be found on the outskirts of our dance music."

Telefuzz: Sleep
 Free MP3
Telefuzz - 'The Needle and the Homage Done'
Purchase by download only:
iTunes | Emusic | Beatport.com

A ‘Telefuzz’ album is like an "Alice in Wonderland" for the ears: psychedelic, vision-inducing music, sparse and spaced out at times, thick and dripping off the edge at others. It’s multi-coloured and multi-textured, full of characters and stories, images and ideas. It is quirky, has imperfections, does not reveal itself all at once. Big Chill Review
