Melodic Energy Commission is a Canadian gem and an interesting branch of the Hawkwind family tree (featuring Del Delmar on electronics.) Hailing from British Columbia, their unique blend of space rock, progressive and hippie psychedelia began in 1977 as a recording-only project titled "The Melodic Energy Commission of Collected Artists."
MEC quickly released two albums: 1979's "Stranger in Mystery" & 1980's "Migration Of The Snails." The music is raw and heavily exploratory, often shifting styles radically within a single track, moving from from quiet chamber orchestras to dissonant guitar freak outs with smears of analog electronics filling in gaps along the way.
"Migration Of Snails" will be released on LP / Digital on October 5th, 2018.

This article starts to touch on how insanely important artists are to TER and how we've developed over the past decade. I wish we their was enough page space to give all releases / artists the love they deserve, as every release has had a unique and crucial role in this label. Thanks to NOW Magazine & Michael Rancic for their continued support. It means a lot.

In 2016, after reissuing two Bruce Haack albums, Haackula and Electric Lucifer Book II, Telephone Explosion began speaking with Ted Pandel (Bruce’s lifelong friend and business partner) about working on the 1970 masterpiece The Electric Lucifer. It turned out there was another matter that he wanted to discuss: finding a final resting place for the Bruce Haack archive.
We were shown test-pressings of The Electric Lucifer board mixes from his Columbia studio sessions, countless pieces of written music, a large number of personal photos, an invitation from Raymond Scott inviting Bruce to play his newly created Electronium instrument (now owned by Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh), poems, press clippings, and, most importantly, a heavy-duty shelf containing 213 reel-to-reel tapes.
All of the chosen material on The Preservation Tapes is unreleased, has only been heard by a handful of people and showcases a relatively unknown period in Bruce’s musical career where Bruce was recording for Sparrow Records (who billed themselves as "America's best Christian music record label”). Bruce’s signature Farad vocoder continues to feature prominently, but the lyrical content is decidedly more religious.
The Bruce Haack archive is now resting in the Provincial Archives of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Preservation Tapes will be available on August 10th on LP with 12-page booklet and on all digital platforms.

Extremely honored to announce a collaboration project between Jesse Harris, Telephone Explosion & The Moss Park Overdose prevention site, where we have created 100 (33 of each colour) limited edition record totes with all profits going towards the Moss Park overdose prevention site.
The Moss Park overdose prevention site was started as an unsanctioned, volunteer-run project in August of 2017. Since opening they have supervised thousands of injections and reversed 212 overdoses. The site has recently announced that it will be moving indoors in June, but funding and assistance is always helpful.
Shipping is available, or you can pick up for free at the Year 10 show on June 8th @ Lee's Palace.
