Inhabiting this grey area between late psych efforts and early PINA (private issue new age), 1977’s Pythagoron TM is an electronic oddity originally marketed as some sort of musical narcotic (“a new invention that gets you high with sound” original ads read) sold via magazines like High Times.
Shrouded by it’s corporate-like design are two enigmatic side long suites of droning electronics which evoke similar autistic synth experiences like early Conrad Schnitzler, Lorq Damon, Udder Milk Decay or the whole Pascal / Narco Records output whilst recalling also more articulate efforts such as Steve Reich’s early opus, Charlemagne Palestine’s sinewave experiments or Eliane Radigue’s synthetic bliss.
