Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void

Jonathan Donahue and Sean "Grasshopper" Mackowiak started Harmony Rockets in 1995 as an experimental side-project to their band Mercury Rev. Their Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void is a trip into the furthest reaches of sound, a complete immersion into space, noise, and melodic chaos. A work that reflects their interest in avant freak-out and improvised music, it contains echoes of German experimentalists like Faust and Guru Guru, as well as of Sun Ra and the early electronic explorations of Morton Subotnik. Originally release in 1995 as a limited edition in Europe, it's a classic album of epic proportions consisting of one track, which runs to 41:40 minutes.
