ONE-SIDED LP

Following two albums and one EP, the one-man freak show orchestra known as Magnus Lundberg unleashed another release of his whacked out OGO DYS project titled ONE-SIDED LP which is his roundabout way of saying, yeah this is an EP for f.u.c.k ' s sake! This EP consists of 4 tracks that run over the TWENTY minute mar????????-k ~ ~ ~ !

The cool thing about the OGO DYS project that lasted from 2008 - 2013 is that every release was somewhat different despite the fact that it's all freaking weird as hell and exists somewhere within the fusion universe of Zappa-esque avant-prog, eclectic Mr Bungle, punky prog outbursts a la Cardiacs and anything else under the sun in smaller doses. That hasn't changed here but obviously recipes can change with same ingredients!

Following the more focused fusion prospects of "Overion 3," OGO DYS continues that mature approach with compositions that maintain a steady flow despite the myriad elements that find their way into the mix. "Teleportation Office" is the perfect example of a somewhat Oingo Boingo inspired romp through avant-prog territory where a steady groove exhibits angular outbursts of weirdness and beyond.

"Descend Dear Friend" is a harder nut to crack as it exhibits not only a frenetic incessant time signature change it up but has high pitched alien vocals that take the music into another dimension but at only a minute will not scare off too many if you've made it this far!

"Implosions In The Mermaid Zone" is clearly brutal prog with unconventional time signature stomps that includes not only guitar, bass, drums but keyboards and weird processed effects as well as some jazzy horn parts. Part freakazoid and part "normal" prog, this beast marches on as if oblivious to the prog standards of the day. Completely commercial free and indignant AF! It also bursts into a weird "A Passion Play" sort of weirdness from the divisive 1973 Jethro Tull album before exhibiting weird theremin space effects with alien connotations.

"Vile Glows The Blackout Tree" goes even further for the avant-garde jugular as it creates a bizarre contrapuntal display of percussion, keys, guitars and bass all going their own way along with a sitar! Everything sounds backmasked and weird vocals come into display! The ultimate Indo-raga avant-prog mind f.u.c.k if there ever was one. Wow. Another bizarre and wickedly excellent display of musical anarchy on ONE-SIDED LP which only shows OGO DYS as a project maturing into an even more vibrant musical entity that sounds as if it is schizophrenic, that meaning it is like listening to many styles of music simultaneously and for those able to process this high density madness, this is awesome!
