Fruits de Mer Records, Boxset/LP Compilation (2013)
It is a new series of albums from Fruits de Mer that feature original, instrumental tracks influenced by classic krautrock, kosmische sounds, motorik beats, progressive rock, acid-jams, minimalist and ambient music, old and new. If you enjoyed ‘Roqueting Through Space’ and ‘Head Music’, I think you’ll like these – and if you didn’t buy those, but love Neu!, Klaus Schulze, the Brain and Ohr labels, extended prog rock tracks, side-long ambient pieces, more modern ambient sounds such as Hammock and Robin Guthrie.

reviews:
…But Vespero’s Red Machine was a much more inspired choice to my ears, sporting a bass foundation that gave me dub associations, percussion and and later drum patterns supplementing nicely amidst psych-dripping guitar soloing and cosmic effects….
