Tell me about Subarachnoid Space, Landing, Surface of Eceon, and artists of their ilk.

-Landing Sphere and the first EP or so. More or less the "Slowdive" component of this.
-Surface Of Eceon Draggyn (not sure of the spelling here). Basically it's Landing + one or more Yume Bitsu people (Ned will have the exact details). Instrumental "space rock" that mines the same territory that every band did in 2000.

I can't recommend any Subarachnoid Space albums, but go see them live if they come through town. Substantially better than the albums and draws more from the Acid Mothers/kosmiche/farfreakout well.

I see I've already been summoned! But I'd have been here anyway. Landing are all sweet folks and deserve yer attention. I would say search their excellent KUCI performance but you can't because only they and I and a couple of other people have copies and they're not for sharing, sorry. It's Adam from Yume who is in Surface, but Adrienne from Landing does not play with Surface. Subarachnoid absolutely brilliant live, have yet to hear the new album but soon.

I loved it, it was much better than Cats, etc.

old sauk, you might want to try Bardo's Lapsed (trippy and ethereal AND heavy and droney at same time!) and Dilate. As for Kinski, Don't Climb On and Take the Holy Water is an ambient jam that takes some getting used to but is also trippy and ethereal. Mostly trippy, though.

So yes, Landing. New album due later in the spring!

Good news! I was hoping they were still going. I happened to notice the other week that their back catalogue is up on bandcamp now:

The old stuff is name-your-price. Hmm, maybe I should take it to the name-yr-price bandcamp thread...

New Landing record is great. Very poppy at times, but still retaining their mastery of atmospheric guitar tapestries.

Tons of good stuff on the Bandcamp too. There are still copies of Gravitational 2 available as well...highly recommended instrumental trips.

And, they just posted that they were releasing an additional 12" of new material later this Fall/Winter.

Yeah...one of my favorite bands.

is Paik still around?

(maybe I should revive the Orson Fader thread)

Nice rerelease here

This: http://www.discogs.com/Kinski-Paik-Surface-Of-Eceyon-Crickets-And-Fireflies/release/506299 is highly recommended. The kinksi track inexplicably kinda sucks, though. The rest is absolutely top notch spacey as hell ambient rock.
