Long sold out at source, i'd honestly forgotten we were getting copies of this wonderful tape of previously unreleased transmissions from Christian Pfluger's Die Welttraumforscher omniverse. We wrote a few weeks ago about the two Die Welttraumforscher vinyl comps released via Bureau B, which collected together a range of the self-released recordings Pfluger had been issuing for several decades, and yet despite that prolific output, A Colourful Storm have dug up yet more music that seems to add new dimensions. Somehow, these eight songs further evolve Pluger's surrealist vision of alterna-pop, more unbound by conventional song structure, with even more of a healthy smattering of the eternal weltschmerz. In some ways, this is pop at its most pure, completely unguarded, personal, limitless. Like with a lot of tape-based DIY music of this era, there's a feeling of fragility, that it could fall apart at any moment, yet at the same time Pfluger is always brazenly and openly himself. Love the Bureau B stuff, but it's quite possible i might love this more because there's the good chance this music was never really meant to be heard and that previously occluded view into private creative process is always compelling. Just the five copies here.
