Once again mining a rich source of archival material, tape works and improvised recordings, Andy Votel's Neotantrik tap deep into the subconscious with a highly-visual trip into the furthest reaches of psychedelic ambience. Following on from Blue Amiga (VHSX 010 LP) that came and went in a flash, Omnichrome is a more brooding, studied affair. Unfurling from a delicate modular opening sequence, the A-side flows into a hallucinogenic fever-dream fleshed out with barely-there analog malfunctions and strings that suddenly throw you into a cacophony of noise in a proper creepy, tense fashion. The flipside carries on from this point - pushing you deeper into a Badalamenti-esque sound world replete with unnerving found sounds and mechanical percussion swung in and out of one of the trippy Kosmische sessions we've heard in a while. Cut at Dub plates & Mastering in an edition of 500 copies.
