The sold-out digipak edition of MY BROTHER THE WIND’s “Twilight In The Crystal Cabinet” is now re-pressed and back in stock! Only this time in a jewel case including a 4-page booklet, new CD print design and an amazing live photo hiding behind the tray.
“Feat. members of MAKAJODAMA, MAGNOLIA and ANEKDOTEN. In a world where most things are overthought and music has become more and more technical, Transubstans Records is proud to present a truly spontaneous, organic record: MY BROTHER THE WINDs “Twilight in the Crystal Cabinet”, a completely unrehearsed album recorded in 2 hours on a vintage Ampex 16 track 2″ tape machine at Drop Out in Åmål, Sweden in May 2009, and mixed within 2 hours the very next day.
The band consists of Nicklas Barker (ANEKDOTEN) on guitar, Mathias Danielson (MAKAJODAMA, and formely of GÖSTA BERLINGS SAGA) also on guitar, Ronny Eriksson (MAGNOLIA) on bass and Tomas Eriksson on drums: four relative strangers who with this record capture the achingly beautiful, melancholic music magic that ensues when talent and intuition meet and marry, and the inspired result casts its hypnotic, psychedelic spell on us all.
“Twilight in the Crystal Cabinet” is comprised of six utterly improvised tracks, the spirit of which is honoured by its real-time, respectfully untampered mixing and resulting in the most honest, perceptive, sonically cinematic experience in recent decades. A bewitching culmination of pure, unedited creative energy – from the soul, through the fingers, directly to tape. It doesn’t get any more real than this.”
Tracklist:
01 Karmagrinder
02 Electric Universe
03 Twilight In The Crystal Cabinet
04 Precious Sanity
05 The Mournful Howl Of Dawn
06 Death And Beyond

Stockholm-based psychedelic folk-act BARR is back on the road with their new full-length album “Atlantic Ocean Blues”!
“Atlantic Ocean Blues” is a tribute to the sea, the sun, space
and the music that’s coloured by these elements.
It has been four years since “Skogsbo Is The Place”, BARR’s latest effort
that was recorded in a derelict cottage owned by a relative.
It’s BARR’s time to step out of that cottage, to find their way
into the forest and in the studio. Into a musical world that the band
always dreamed of.
“Atlantic Ocean Blues” is in addition to an constant evolving band
also a homage to the forest, to the darkness and to folk psychadelia.
A true masterpiece and a story about a bands step into wilderness
and unknown grounds. And they sure master it.
“Life came from the sea. We bath in the sun.”
Tracklist:
01 The End Of The Road
02 Atlantic Ocean Blues
03 The Mountains
04 The Lonely Lady
05 He Ain’t A Friend, He Is A Brother
06 Yalu River Song
07 Sun Shine On
08 Hanoi Haze

The respectable Lords Of Metal has chosen to treat us with a nice review of the latest Transubstans release; ETT ROP PÅ HJÄLP’s “Hur Svårt Kan Det Vara?
“They just threw me off my socks with the light easy listening stoner hard rock that is transported from the seventies straight in the heart of 2012. Ett Rop PÅ Hjälp, what literally means a cry for help, comes from the Gothenburg area and this ‘Hur Svårt Kan Det Vara?’ is their long awaited debut. The seven songs are very entertaining with cheerful melody lines, great variation in riffs and forceful bluesy rhythms. Also a powerful original singer (Sweden seems to be filled with them) adds to the bill. These songs do not excel but surely are no less than the original works of forty years back in time. Call this light digestible metal and easiness to listen to a great addition to those works and of course it fits the current seventies revival. Funny the biography states that the lyrics are superb… Unfortunately the majority of the world does not speak Swedish, but hey, I’ll accept it. Is your head still in the clouds of smoke of the seventies, go and listen to this little gem. ”
– Review by Erik Heylen
This album will be released physically and digitally on March 13th by Transubstans.

This is the result of a collaboration between Transubstans Records, Russian act VESPERO and German act ZONE SIX. The first three tracks of this record consists of the atmospheric soundscapes of psychedelic space rockers VESPERO; a band that combines playfulness and joy with futuristic heavy rhythms. The great recordings of their works has helped capture their essence; a tight, thick wall of sound, allowing them to give synthesizers the space they need in songs like this. To sum VESPERO up: a great band whose work is very “airy” yet concentrated from time to time. You will be surprised!
ZONE SIX is a band built up by members from the more outstanding psychedelic space rock scene in Germany. Some of the keys in the band is Dave Schmidt (ELECTRIC MOON, SULA BASSANA) on the drums and Komet Lulu (ELECTRIC MOON)
on bass and effects. Komet Lulu is also the mastermind behind the cover of this record.
Combining different members from some of the best bands in Germany today (ELECTRIC MOON, THE PANCAKES, VIBRAVOID), ZONE SIX manages to create an extremely atmospheric sound that will explode deep down in your veins. Their featured track
on “The Split Thing” is called “Babapapatantramanta” and provides the same hypnotizing emotions like the HAWKWIND albums of the early 70’s did. Highly recommended!
Transubstans Records will release this album on CD and LP in the end of April 2012.
