Just before my laptop expired for the second time last year, I was contacted by Cairo based BLUFRANK.

I’d heard just enough of the Egyptian rhythms, in the opening to ‘Jungles of The Unknown’, to pique my interest before the MacBook Pro went AWOL.

Thankfully, time and ether have conspired to reunite me with this elusive soundsmith, who describes himself as, “The equivalent of experimental-pop influenced Space-y synth-driven neo-psychedelia, with some Rock, Funk and Jazz influences, all governed by some electronica.”

Ok, so here’s a little something out of left field, guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing.

“1818 Feuersicher is an experimental Peruvian band located in Lima. Our debut EP is called ‘Transient’. Our music is influenced by several music genres including: alternative rock, hard rock, bossa nova, blues, jazz, neo jazz, samba, funk, world music among others. Our debut EP was recorded using particular instruments such as: cuica, shamisen, tablas, peruvian cajón, violas, violins, etc.”

The immersive, ‘Transient’ EP track listing is – ‘Diplomatique’, ‘ニュートリノ’, ‘Neue Sprache’, ‘Ética E Ciência’ and my personal favourite here, ‘Radiotelescopio’.
