2001 release ** "The Spaceheads and Max Eastley have sculpted a complete work from a clash of ancient and future technologies. Music as, crafted soundscapes, sculptured washes of sound, deep textures, broad melodic invention, spontaneous meetings. The Spaceheads have been hurtling down a unique path of their own for many years now. This duo mix trumpet and electronics with drums and percussion. Plaintive trumpet calls are looped across pulsing beats that propel us into sheets of metal crashing and vibrating through tiny pick ups cranked to the full and then spun into electronic webs. Max Eastley, sound sculptor, artist, musician, is playing his own invention The Arc – a mono chord of wood and wire. He scrapes, bends and flexes the sound, twisting it into an orbit of amplified experiences. Electricity and raw noise captured and controlled, then flying out of control, bumping up against, colliding with fellow travellers... Ancient Astronauts. "
