Belvis Freshly - Music For Analogue Synth Vol. 1

Debut solo album by Gnouv album producer, sampling artist, electronic musician, and now analogue syntherizer-er, Belvish Freshly. This album is a spacy ambient journey from the slow hypnotic sweeps of Part I, through the twinkling, magical Steve Hillage-esque sequences of Part II, to the waves of an alien planet in Part III, to the beautifully sonic soundscapes of Part IV. Recommended for any trip any time!

The Congregation - Ancient Technology

Described by James Lake as, "The first 'grown-up' album I've ever made", this one is sure to leave an impression. This album displays the finest work by the mysterious Jim Parsons congregation to date. Ancient Technology is like a funky, smooth and sexy soundtrack to your favorite porno movie. It'll send you back to the 70s with colorful clothes, dim rooms, the scent of freshly lit marijuana, and seduction in the air.

The recording quality on this Gnouv recording brazens the best of Gnouv to date, with crisp snare hits, dry hardware, brooding deep bass, and swimming synth lines, and spacey guitar chords. It was recorded on two floors of a cabin in the mountains of Big Bear! This album is pure improvisational gold, with beautiful ambient textures weaving in, out, and within groovy jams! Recommended!!

Emperors of Gnouv - Masters of the Galaxy


One of the biggest Gnouv productions to date, this album takes listeners on a tripped out voyage through space, visiting various different sonic textures. This album's theme is tonal and rhythmic drones superimposed with blazing, wacked out guitar solos, shimmery rhodes harmony, and cosmic modular synth backing. This album features Somnium, minanim, James Lake, J-Anton, and Mica, who are joined by contributions from Everever and Ramon Metsoulth, to name a few. Definitely worth downloading and listening to over and over again!
