I sorta thought you'd like this, Stewart, given your past praise of The
(Norwegian) Dipsomaniacs.  It should probably be mentioned that Deleted
Waveform Gatherings contain half that band (singer/songwriter/etc. Oyvind
Holm and bassist Robert Skjaervik), and are essentially a continuation of
Oyvind's visions.

I think this:

> Fans of Cotton Mather's KON-TIKI who found Robert
> Harrison's new Future Clouds and Radar project too weird and sprawling
> for their tastes will be all over this.

is a perfect summary, and I've often thought of the Robert Harrison
comparison with much of the Dipsomaniacs catalog.  A song like "Seconds of
Your Time" would have fit right in on Kon-Tiki, and "Complicated View" and
"Ride Pillion" display a similar sort of dizzying psychedelic power pop.
Then you have the late period Beatles/early solo references (I can't help
but think of "I'd Have You Anytime" when I hear "Minefield Baby", for
example), early '70s rock flourishes, slow-motion haunting psych and even
some modern classical touches. 

Sometimes I feel a little too close to these guys to be writing about them,
as I've loved just about everything they've done for going on 8 years now,
and they happen to be great friends of mine, but there you have it.
