Alasehir is the trio of Michael Gibbons, John Gibbons, and Jason Kourkounis, otherwise known as three-fifths of Bardo Pond. Their third release, following a CD apiece for the Important and aRCHIVE labels, Philosophy of Living Fire continues their sonic exploration of dense, languorous, free expansion. Billowing and exploding like a cluster of hashish stars, the three instrumental tracks produce a cosmic energy akin to a quasar in the heavens far left of Coltrane’s OM and just right of the galaxy known as Dead C’s Harsh ’70s Reality. Released in a one-time edition of 1000 LPs, this is the rocket ride into the outer stratum at which their previous CDs only hinted. So climb aboard and let Alasehir’s Philosophy Of Living Fire be your 2007: A Space Odyssey. A tour for later this year is being scheduled. Stay tuned to www.siltbreeze.com for further info. “The secret here is the groove, it takes you in and it won’t let you go in all its head-nodding goodness. An essential slice of spiritual rock...” —Boomkat
