Primordial Undermind is led by ex-Crystalized Movements guitarist Eric Arn.
Active for more than a decade in different forms and in different cities, they're currently based in Vienna, Austria.
Touring this time as a trio following Eric's mind-blowing solo outing last year, they cut loose spaced out psychedelia with the patience of sludge-rock and the skronky soul of free jazz
"Reverberating with primitive hallucinogenic drones, garage rock grinds and improvisations that slowly build from half-formed blowouts to cosmic Stockhausen-style epics... PU have crawled out of the psychedelic undergrowth and evolved into something special" - Edwin Pouncey (Savage Pencil), the Wire
"underworldy free-rock music... The Undermind is a kind of direct descendant of the big late ‘60s electronics-powered post-psychedelic ensembles such as Fifty Foot Hose, but much much better " - Julian Cope, Headheritage

Thought Forms (Invada Records) came together early 2004 and are based in Bristol, UK.
Starting from a freeform electric miasma of buzzing circuits, the band gathers up sparking shards of sound into tuneful bliss, only to abandon it into gloriously spastic directions. Gnarly feedback, screams and effects-eaten riffs become hypnotically interwoven constructions.
They played at All Tomorrow's Parties fest (12/2007, curated by Portishead) and at Terrastock 6.
"ambient washes of effects driven guitars hovering in the air like a vapour of nocturnal shadows, tangled lines of fuzzy/fizzing electronics coaxing divine squalls and bass heavy rumbles... Delightful blizzards of interlocking noise some marvellous pyramids of sound complete with cut up junctions / intersections, then clearing without any of the momentum being lost." - Rottenmeats
