A mysterious galactic trance-drone is thickened and pulled apart, and explored in detail on this extremely rare older 7" from the short-lived space rock project Flue. This record was released in 1999 on the Polish label OBUH, and it's the only release from Flue that I've come across so far...a trio that featured a couple of members of Subarachnoid Space (including C-Blast hero Mason Jones), Flue used guitars, bass and synthesizers to create these two tracks of eerie space drone. On one side, "Once Upon A Time In A Quazar - outward" brings a haunting guitar melody together with a crushing undercurrent of distorted low-end drone and washes of spacey fx, all instrumental, and it's kind of like the more ambient version of older Subarachnoid Space that I was expecting I was going to hear before I put this on. The B-side takes the track "inward", and subtly changes the music with an alternate mix of effects, treated guitar tones and synth drones, still heavy and dreamy like the other side, but filtered through a dusty mirror and reflected back as a distorted version of the first. The thick layers of trippy, fx-heavy guitar and synthesizer should make this pretty appealing to fans of Subarachnoid Space and Mason's guitar-noise solo project Trance. The record is nicely packaged in a hand-made, embossed texture paper sleeve, and it was released in a numbered edition of a mere 333 copies...we've obtained the last copies of this for C-Blast, but once they are gone, it's gone for good.
