Release Notes:
The original idea was to use only a harmonica and call the album Harmonica. But it was a bit
more so, and with the idea of krautrock in their mind they called the album 'Irrlicht', in
reference to Herr Schulze. The starting point was still harmonica, but in addition to that
Aun plays guitar, electronics and Allseits guitar, voice, electronics. Aun is Montreal
based Martin Dumais, who already released  work on Oral before. This is his first album
in a series of  collaborations Behind Allseits is one Nina Kernicke, from Bremen (Germany).
Their concerts seem to be loud but the work at hand here is rather subdued and drone based,
occasionally bursting out into more heavy ground. The Klaus Schulze references are never far
away, even when Aun and Allseits stay in a much more abstract ground. The cosmos is not the
blue sky, but the infinite and dark space that lies much further away. Spacious (oops there
we go again) dark atmospheric music along the lines of Thomas Koner and more over Troum
(with whom Allseits something collaborates). A dark sun, underwhich its hard to re-invent
the tones, but where Aun and Allseits do a damn fine job."
