Greetings,

In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):


AGITATION FREE
Kosmische interview by Jason Gross
"Agitation Free were a psychedelic band in every sense of the word, one that would have fit in well with the original U.S. jam bands of the '60's. AF was certainly well connected, working with, colliding and swapping members with
Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra and others. After a number of line-up changes, they preserved for several years from about 1967 to about the mid '70's to only put out two albums to their name (their 1972 debut Melesch and 1973's 2nd) before calling it quits."


STEVE BEMAND
Psych Punk/Space Rock- interview by Jack Gold-Molina
"Steve Bemand, guitarist, synth player, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, has been a figurehead in the UK since the 1970's. His musical inspiration "comes straight from the heart of Free Festival culture," a culture that thrived in the UK during the
1970's and '80's. Clear as a bell in the tribal psych-punk and heavy space rock of his bands including Smartpils and The Timelords, "expect trancing power chords, searing solos, twinkly floaty blits, and all manner of sounds to bend the mind the bend the
mind.""


HARMONIA
Roedelius remembers Mobius- interview by Jason Gross
"I spoke to former Cluster/Harmonia member Hans-Joachim Roedelius in mid-August, less than a month after his former musical partner Dieter Moebius had passed away on July 20th. The occasion for the interview luckily was something much happier- Harmonia's
complete works were coming out on a huge vinyl box set on October 20th on Gronland Records. Here you have some of Kosmische musik's (or Krautrock's if you like) finest moments, done in a blissful, melodic haze crafted by Roedelius, Mobius and Neu!
guitarist Michael Rother."



We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.

See you online,
Jason
