Alex Krüger – better known as Tigerskin/Dub Taylor/Korsakow – most recently (and very generously) uploaded Psychoplasma - a nine-track LP recorded in Berlin between the years of ’94-’96 via his ambient/electronic project with Jan Gabler, Psycho Plasma. This material was originally only available through the limited amount of CD copies that were released by Futurepop Recordings in 1996.
The album includes tracks like “Künstliche Freiheit”; a harsh fusion of sounds ranging from mechanical squelches, bubble popping and repetitive drones to flickering metallic prisms that can only be reminiscent of what interstellar communication might sound like – to slightly more accessible material like “Wellensittich”;  a celestial nature tribute that delivers layering echoes of clapping woodblocks in company with reoccurring animalistic howling and a strong, pulsating beat that softens and balances the sounds of piercing tweets and chirps.
The collection communicates a soundtrack that will both soothe and disturb. Further exploration of Psychoplasma is available below for streaming and free download.
