about

“A magic dwells in each beginning.” The members of the freeform psych-inducing collective known as Spiritczualic Enhancement Center are of the same mind as Hermann Hesse on that one.

Within the mythologically-rich universe assembled by the band - Transporting Salt - Enhanced Edition is a serious deluxe revisit of their most original encounters.

In the five years since it was hermetically spawned, the group has stretched into an esoteric wave of musicians counting well over 60 in total. With their unscripted and ritualistic sound already incarnated as five distinct albums, it is time for this regenerative double-vinyl to complete the odyssey by returning to source.

The metamorphosing days of the troupe’s formative journey back in 2018 were sonically captured via a cassette on Crash Symbols which Bandcamp Daily attributed with the power to “make the mundane surreal."

This earliest recorded testament has now been wholeheartedly overhauled - edited, remixed and mastered - and majestically packaged in a gatefold containing 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks and an extended tour through Axis Mundi’s infinitesimal cover art illustrations.

Out on Lille’s Besides Records, this autonomous trance-jazz LP presents the imaginatory accompaniment for an untold Paul Bowles epic set in the echoing history of psychedelica.

“Might be the chillest release of the year.. Put a kettle of herbal tea on and crank it up." -Tabs Out Podcast

"it’s been a nice one to just let play out while doing things around the house… Really, really strong release.” - Free Form Freakout's Favorite Music of 2020

“It’s meditative stuff, but more introspective than relaxing” - Bandcamp Daily

“Psychedelic dub-jazz jams” Burl Veneer

"Really cool stuff." -The Avant Ghetto

"As soon as I get into them I find my mind drifting away from the matter in hand and just existing somewhere else". - Fragmented Flaneur

"Loose yet grooving freeform psych rock" - If You Lose Your Horse with Sam Segal (WFMU)

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid

Kräuter der Provinz
by Datashock

supported by 6 fans who also own “Transporting Salt”

Motorik drones; ambient drifts; exotic grooves and unexplained noises... Datashock is one of the few legitimate heirs to the true communal spirit of early Krautrock, faithful as much to the exploratory spirit of counterculture Germany as they are to the music itself. Favorite track: Im Zuchtstall der Existenzhengste. neu-mann
