Ectogram vs Klaus Kinski – split LP
Released on Giant Hammer Records.
Gianthammer is a newly formed, fiercely independent imprint that is more DIY than the combined talents of Homebase, MFI and B&Q added together. Intent on offering an insight into the current Welsh extreme music scene, they have paired five tracks from acerbic noisemongers Klaus Kinski with a long improvisational piece from psychedelic trio Ectogram. There is over an hours worth of music here, guaranteeing value for money with the meagre £5 price.

Ectogram – Fluff on A Faraway Hill – LP
Recorded at Faust Studio, Scheer in southern Germany during June 2006. Produced by Hans Joachim Irmler, this is the first Ectogram release to not be self-produced.
This sixth album is another firm step forward for Ectogram. While still firmly rooted in the Krautrock and post-punk spirit that is their hallmark, they keep pushing their albums into new places, challenging themselves and creating a treat for us in the process. It is easy to get lost in this album for hours; the eight songs that make up this album are meticulous in terms of sonic texture and each listening experience is full of new surprises. Not only that but Fluff on a Faraway Hill is fun too.

Faust, Ectogram @ Hendre Hall, Bangor
(taken from Adam Walton‘s blog)
Tony, Soundhog and I went to Hendre Hall that night to see Faust and Ectogram. The venue is amazing. It’s a very old, split level barn that isn’t – really – wide enough to be sticking bands on… well not bands with members of not inconsiderable girth… and both Ectogram and Faust have members with gloriously prodigious waistlines. I don’t feel so bad about my plasticene tummy now.
