Following in the vein of FUTURE TIMES, the SEX TAGS camp and MOODHUT, the EARLY SOUNDS circle in Naples, Italy is shaping up to be a fascinating scene. This comes from PERIODICA RECORDS, the EARLY SOUNDS sublabel that has released WHODAMANNY and RICCARDO SCHIRÒ (next up is THE MYSTIC JUNGLE TRIBE). The artist himself is Dutch, going by the name RIK MÖHLMANN. Lo-fi, analog machine sound. Led by "Pirate," a kickless, hazy and mysterious world you can sink deep into, it's a fantasy realm unlike anything you've heard before. Wonderful. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
