As one scrambles to obtain the many limited releases appearing in and around the Tower Recordings camp lately, ?Message From the Celestial Explosions? proves particularly worthy of the hunt. It can basically be seen as a freer sister to the recently hatched and more widely available, ?The Galaxies' Incredibly Sensual Transmission Field of the Tower Recordings.? The folk and blues shadings are less apparent this time out in favor of blurred dispatches from distant faded galaxies. These five pieces touch on later Sun Ra, Sandy Bull and Incredible String Band, matter and antimatter, alternating between meandering improvised space jazz, primitive noise and free folk in a way that only the ?Recordings can. It?s evident from the first track that they?ve grown dramatically as improvisers over the last decade, or maybe this 30 min voyage is just edited with maximum transport over a very short period in mind. Either way, there are no wasted seconds to be found. They peak just over halfway in and don?t let up till the promise land is revealed in rippling cosmic waves of effected ethnic drones. Enveloping opium trances for those who long to flee this world on a regular basis. 8/10 -- Lee Jackson (8 June, 2005)
