Bügsküll, Phantasies and Senseitions (CD)

Phantasies and Senseitions somehow summarizes my memories of indie music in 1995 while still managing to sound coherent. It's got lo-fi to spare, with hints of both math-rock and post-rock buried in there. Some of the songs are catchy, other parts are atmospheric hazes. It's obviously more a studio construction than a document of a band, which seems to help to keep it coherent. The most obvious downside is that it's too long at 50+ minutes. The cartoon cover is both germane for the content and slightly unflattering at the same time.
