Bob Hallucination by Dog Hallucination
Reviews:
"...rarely are so many ideas packed into such a small space without crowding each other. Here, they dovetail into one another with perfect logic unity. If hallucinatory, it is a very lucid dream."

"...beautiful instrumental music with a strong sense of conviction and determination, making the most of minimal loop and repetition techniques, and not coming across as over-laboured or pretentious..."
-The Sound Projector
"...I thought it was all rather nice music. Electronic (obviously), with dashes of mild rhythm, reminding me of the more experimental edges of ambient house, melancholic passages and largely reverbed guitar bits. Psychedelic ambient music. As said, I thought of this to be very nice, but the sad side was that it lasted only twenty-three: for me it could have lasted twice that, since I was quite curious after this to hear what else they are capable of."

"...like bits of synaptic fallout from Savage Republic’s noisy guitar-echoes of ancient cultures and motorik kraut-distortion as interpreted by electro-ambient-glitch-era Ulver, and mixed and assembled by the found industrial machine like noise-architecture of Siemers, maybe. Either way, file this Dog Hallucination EP under “weird”."
- Aural Innovations
“...with its ever-shifting, underwater guitar & synth based trippertronics that sparkle & shimmer in the summer sun. It’s fucked up and peaceful at the very same time, combining siren-like wails far in the background with psychedelic folk deconstruction and futuristic beats that give the album a sort of a “prehistoric future” feel ...Pagan atmospherics clash with IDM-ish structures..."
- Weed Temple
"The production is pristine, the guitars layer and fall like glistening slivers of icicle melt, the field recordings are sublime and well positioned [a nail factory by all accounts], the beats [when they eventually appear] are all Muslimgauze-y..."

"Gentle looping guitars, droning into the ether alongside ruptured electronics gurgling everywhere, phasers set to “caress,” celestial warmth feeding the fire, all infused with a solid rhythm, a noisy techno-drone that does more to invoke lucid dreams than it does the urge to party. But this is still totally partyable (at least a couple of the tracks are). And totally awesome."

Credits
A collaboration between Dog Hallucination and Headless Ballerinas Underwater's Bob.
Experimentation with guitar textures, electronic rhythms, field recordings. The fruit of numerous recording sessions some time in 2007, edited August - September 2011.
Bob pulverized Dog Hallucination's guitar sounds by taking the output from their effect chain and running it into Bob's electronics. For the field recording acquisitions, a few occasions were spent at the local nature scene: Starved Rock State Park - Illinois, recording sounds of the forest. A few other occasions were spent recording sounds in Bob's neighborhood, and the nail factory workplace D. Petri shared with Bob at the time. Over the course of a few months the recording sessions graduated to creation of rhythms and employment of percussion instruments.
