On this recording, AFCS features current and former members of Chilean psych-ensemble La Banda’s and Psychedelic Schafferson Jetplane. Pro-dubbed edition of 100 (only 50 copies for distribution in the USA).
A Full Cosmic Sound (AFCS) is a constantly rotating improvisational ensemble from Santiago, Chile. The inspiration to form AFCS was born during the equatorial summer of 2007 in Carlos Barbosa, Brazil after Alvaro Daguer (a frequent collaborator of Chilean psych-jammers La Banda’s), Felipe Mantovani and Clovis Barbosa (both members of the experimental/dub franco-brazilian project Du O des Etoiles) shared a casual psychoactive-inspired UFO sighting. Since then, and with varying lineups, AFCS has been a natural and spontaneous union of bodies and souls on a cosmic trip.
On this, their debut release for Fabrica Records, AFCS deliver a total of 5 tracks which conjure up the sounds emitted by playing dusty early “easy listening” electronic music records on your turntable, the psych/sonic explorations of Throbbing Gristle, Sonic Youth and Experimental Audio Research, and the echoes of Santiago’s busy urban sound-scape.

A Full Cosmic Sound. Interesting space-hunch from the Chilean Underground. Formed by members of La Banda's and others, the sound is open form free rock ditherage with certain similarities to the most fully-spronged outriders of the German 1970s scene. But this is a far cry from recent Sky Records recidivism. There's a meat basis to the proceedings and a weird thick pulse that is undeniable. Beyond that, you can almost catch the scent of alien poop on the breeze. Wire 2013,
