OHM

The second release of OGO DYS came in the form of the three track EP titled OHM which in addition to being released as a CD-R also found a 7" vinyl pressing. Despite being released the same year as the lengthier "Neptune Everywhere," this one encompasses a completely different mix of eclecticism.

"Alien Eggs Hatching" is right out of the Zappa playbook with wild time signature antics that excel at all the quirky extremes of his most adventurous endeavors. This one has some vocals as well and they are very normal actually.

"Princess Moondust" is downright tame at first with a steady beat and spaced out rock intro but quickly jumps into a punk infused storm of guitar with strange quirky little time signature freak outs but then commences to mix punk guitar with symphonic keyboard sounds. Lots of weird sound effects keep this firmly in the wild weird zone.

"Temple Of The Soaring Eggplant" is a quirky mix of angular clean guitar sounds with some flute sounds but i think they may be synthesized. This is some classic prog here with weird off-kilter time signatures coming from guitars, bass and drums along with some nice atmospheric extras and breezes by in a mid-tempo fashion that is easy to digest. Eerie vocals create a nice melodic counterpoint to the jittery guitars. Very psychedelic as well as prog actually.

This is only a three track EP but these tracks are radically different than the tracks on "Neptune Everywhere" and shows how talented Magnus Lundberg is as a one-man band not only as a composer but as an instrumentalist who covers it all. I do hope that these two releases find a bona fide release together some day as this stuff is the epitome of eclectic prog mixed with nice psych and punk. Cardiacs, Bungle, Sigh, Estradasphere lovers, you will not want to miss this one either ;)
