Karamika - a studio creation from George Thompson (Black Merlin) and Gordon Pohl AKA
Dussuldorfs engineer supreme(Musiccargo / Kunstkopf / The Isolators…). This their
second long player is a record full of mind games. Sounds leak from fractal-like holes,
and are sedately trodden back into the cosmic fabric of the album. The noise of post
cruise carpet.

UK artist Black Merlin (aka George Thompson) returns with this two tracker on Offen
Music containing two typically lengthy offerings. He has previously been influenced
by tribes in Papua New Guinea, creating cinematic dread filled electronica and techno
out of what he found on his travels. These further missives take things further and
feature lyrics by Alexandra Grübler on Textured Land.

Geins't Nait returns to Offen, this time he enlists Scanner (living experimental
electronics legend , Robin Rimbaud) to join him in his land of loop. These two
veterans have clocked up many combined decades of experimentation between them, and
this their first jointly composed material, has the feel of wisdom at work. It's
a huge pleasure for Offen Music to release this special record.
