A.M Haines  "Trimuphant Ghost" LP Head Heritage       October 2007 Talking of vital vinyl-only drone-o-thon releases, I got lots to scream about regarding TRIUMPHANT GHOST, the debut LP by A.M. Haines, on the American Foreign Frequency label. Commencing like an angry wasp in a British Aerospace food blender, this is one Uber useful bastard which sets its controls for the heart of your spiritus sanctus, but – like the demented hyper sibling of Kabalist, Poochlatz and Anal (the 18-minutes of ‘Journey Through a Burning Anal’ most specifically) – Haines’ lofty and singular muse never forgets its raw beginnings as Martin Rev’s motorized afterbirth. So tell me that anyone with access to a quart of Fernet-Branca and a powersaw could achieve this racket and I’ll smash yer face in! Instead, search out your very own copy of this startling motherlode via www.foreignfrequency.com/ff_newreleases.htmland prepare for the psychic enema you KNOW your brain deserves. Yowzah! —Julian Cope
