Raagnagrok, the project of
English duo Zali Krishna (guitar) and Mark O'Pilkington (eletronics),
recorded
Man Woman Birth Death Infinity (Lotushouse, 2013).
The amateurish production might be a blessing in the case of
Elephanta Gateway because its
Zen-like hypnosis and proto-cosmic music
is not particularly original
(and the 14-minute celestial hare-krishna dance Infinity is just
self-indulgent);
but the nine-minute monster nebula Mount Pelle does better justice to
the idea.
If the propulsive Man
ultimately tastes like a mixture of ancient esoteric archetypes such as
Aphrodite's Child and
Popol Vuh,
the slow guitar phrasing and the grotesque electronic burps of
Tenebrae evoke an avantgarde version of Current 93 before delving into android mayhem.
