Laadeees an Genelmen……….Strange
Things Are Happening are proud to present the (almost) return of the possibly
world famous “Stuff You Can Download For Nowt From Bandcamp” Blog post (we
really need a new title for this!!!!!). What we have done is round up the
recent FREE STUFF TO DOWNLOAD Facebook posts and put them here, because with
all the noise Facebook generates it is easy to miss things……….plus we have
found a couple of groovy new downloads we also want to point you towards.
Prana Crafter is the
recording/performing pseudonym of Psych Folk guitarist William Sol. Recorded at
around the same time as the tracks that made up Prana Crafter's album Rapture
Of Planes, a five track EP of meditative guitar pieces, the Opel Crown
Transmissions EP has been made available as a "name your price"
download. Mixing together beautiful, delicate songs that have been compared to
the early 60s output from Elektra and Vanguard along with more
experimental/improvised, shamanic guitar overload, lo-fi Psych Rock excursions,
the Rapture Of Planes album was released last year on Deep Water Acres to wide
critical acclaim (read our review on Strange Things here http://theepsychedelicatessen.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/prana-crafter-rupture-of-planes-deep.html). The tracks from
the EP were originally intended for the next Prana Crafter record, however Will
is now working on blending the longer instrumentals with the 'songs' for the
next album ( Popol Vuh meets Donovan or Neil Young if Crazy Horse was made up
of the Cosmic Jokers crew has been mentioned........we wait with baited breath),
so he has released these tracks for your delight and delectation. Available
from the Prana Crafter Bandcamp page here https://pranacrafter.bandcamp.com/album/opal-crown-transmission-ep
and Rapture Of Planes is still available from both the Deep Water Acres and
Sunrise Ocean Bender web stores.
Thee Psychedelicatessen’s
favourite Russian Psych Rock band Cosmic Letdown's own imprint Opium Eyes have
released the second Polska Radio One album, Cold Sun, as a very limited CD run
of 50 copies. The album is also available as a free download so you can try
before you buy........here http://opiumeyesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/--4.

One's back catalogue is available as FREE "name your price" downloads

Canadian purveyors of fine
audio curios Arachnidiscs Recordings (their tagline "Music For And By
Weirdos") have released the seventh Heavy Moon album since 2006, fittingly
titled Heavy Moon 7. Inspired by Pink
Floyd, Hawkwind, Harmonia and Black Sabbath, Heavy Moon is a heavy psych/Kosmic
jam studio side project of Jakob Rehlinger of Toronto-based improvisational
space-rockers Moonwood. We will have a full review on Strange Things very soon.
To celebrate this release all the previous six Heavy Moon albums have been made
available as "name your price" downloads at https://heavymoons.bandcamp.com/, check ‘em out Spaceheads.

Dead Feathers, Astrodome, Stubb and Wired Mind………………..go to the HeviSike
Bandcamp page http://hevisike.bandcamp.com/album/bold-as-love-ii for a “name your price” download. It’s a great little

little 3 tracker from Brighton band The Decadent Dayze of Garage/Psych with

energetic tunes. Download These Are Decadent Dayze from their Bandcamp page http://thedecadentdayze.bandcamp.com/album/these-are-decadent-dayze and “name your price”.
