Beläten are happy to inform you that Michael Idehall’s magnificient album »SOL« is once again available on cassette.
We’ve also made a special limited edition button set, featuring three sigills channeled by Idehall: SOL, Golem and The Image.
About SOL
Listening to Idehall’s »SOL«, one is forgiven for thinking of Psychic TV, Coil and similar, esoterically inclined artists. Not that his seancetronica really sound like any of those, but he — or what ever unseen force is imprinted into his machines — conjures up the same emotional states.»SOL« appears as a journey of sorts, a search for what lies beyond the conscious mind. It’s naked and physical music, but at the same time obscure and ethereal. Idehall warns us that »This music should be engaged with caution and it should be regarded as a series of conditioned technomantical experiments« but should you choose to follow him, you will be greatly rewarded.
