Gibt es einen Raum zwischen Psychic TV, Pink Floyd und The Orb? Ja, einen Hügel, und auf dem sitzen Christus & The Cosmonaughts. Und von dort aus lassen sie uns mit ihren spherischen Exkursionen zwischen Space Pop und Sound Experimenten umwehen.

Terra Firma flags. Sky burns electric. Fauna flee for fear.

The second coming of Christus is here. 8 new stations of the cross oscillate wildly between bristling electronic noise pyres and sizzling, solemn song-forms. From Atop This Hill is a study in the transcendental possibilities of synthesis couched in the form of a mystery play. The jilted narratives just glisten, rich with pulsating electrocycles that alternately coil into instrumental pythons. Form and function fuse in a flux of devotional experimentalism paired with a sort of weird pop. Christus' strangely wrought onomatopoeic lyrics are compelling, wrapped as they are in his classic coldwave croon amid slo-mo motorik surges of minimal wave. Drag thy cross upon yon hill and embrace the passion of the Christus.
