Ashtray Navigations - Deader Reptile Machine Crashlanding South

Review by Girard Bolton

Deader Reptile Machine Crashlanding South is a highly experimental and abstract album by Ashtray Navigations. The album is a collection of improvisational noise and drone soundscapes that are both challenging and rewarding to listen to. The tracks are filled with distorted guitars, synthesizers, and other electronic instruments, creating a chaotic and disorienting atmosphere.

The album's title track, "Deader Reptile Machine Crashlanding South," is a standout piece that showcases the band's ability to create a dense and hypnotic sound. The track builds slowly, with layers of distorted guitar and synthesizer drones slowly building upon each other until a cacophonous climax is reached. Other standout tracks include "Krautrocking in the Deep South" and "Distorted Mirrors."

The album is a challenging but rewarding listening experience that showcases the band's creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of what is considered music. it is a highly recommended release for fans of experimental music.
