to keep with the Caboladies family here is a relatively recent (summer 2010) split tape from Flower Man (aka Chris Bush of Caboladies) and Rene Hell (jeff witscher who also runs the label that put this tape out, the always wonderful Agents of Chaos). this is a relatively short tape and given that both artists are used to stretching out a bit more each gives us a slightly different sound from what we've come to expect.
Flower Man's side has three tracks of drum machine workout with a lot of flanging metallic synths floating around. at times has a weird mid '80s sci-fi vibe that definitely is a bit of a departure from his Cabloadies world, but still works wonderfully.
Rene Hell goes for more of a kosmische/krautrock workout that he's definitely hinted at before in a lot of his work. here he fleshes the ideas out a bit more and although it's bit subdued from his normal mode it works amazingly well.
listen to the tape here. physical copies are long gone, although i just got myself a copy on eBay for pretty cheap. great work from two great artists.
