Homunculus Res 2013 to 2023, limited time only

 









The cover paintings are invariably nice, throwback to the classic seventies efforts.

These guys put out 5 wonderful albums very reminiscent of Rascal Reporters as you could tell from the preceding Lunaphone, all our wonderful. The first one may be the best but the gradations between quality are not too significant and others might disagree. If there is any drawback it's that the tracks are quite similar and the drony organ/guitar sound becomes a bit repetitive, a bit more variety in tempo/sound would have been quite welcome. They do mix instr. with vocals, like RR.

Note the classic prog dissonances that turn up on this unfortunately short instrumental from the first release with the wonderfully silly art of a mushroom-growing scalp:



The first track of the second 2015 CD sounds very much like Het Pandorra Ensemble:


And so on as the years pass, multiple enjoyable sounds...
