Magic Bullet & Friends – ΚΟΛΛΑΒΟΡΑΤΙΣ

Magic Bullet & Friends’ album ΚΟΛΛΑΒΟΡΑΤIΣ explores experimental music with elements of industrial, ambient, noise, and more. This 10-track collaborative album showcases Mick Magic’s innovative spirit, a veteran of the underground music industry who has worked as a fanzine publisher, musician, and label owner. The album’s title, an inventive play on the word “collaborators,” refers to the project’s essence—a combination of varied thoughts and sounds across the experimental music spectrum. ΚΟΛΛΑΒΟΡΑΤIΣ immediately puts listeners in a diverse and unconventional sound universe. The recordings are more than simply songs; they are aural experiences created with a DIY mentality that represents the musicians’ underground starting point. The album’s nostalgic beauty is enhanced by the purposefully raw and unpolished production, which recalls an age when experimental music was a protest against mainstream traditions.The variety of the album reflects the collaborative nature of its creation. Each tune has a distinct taste due to the diverse contributions of Magic Bullet’s buddies. Some tracks have a strong industrial music influence, with mechanical rhythms and warped sounds generating a harsh yet seductive mood. Other tracks explore ambient soundscapes, with ethereal melodies and droning synthesizers creating an alien atmosphere, as if the music is being relayed from a parallel dimension. Despite its experimental character, ΚΟΛΛΑΒΟΡΑΤIΣ keeps a consistent identity. The album seems like a tour into the head of a musician who has spent decades pushing the limits of what music can be. The album has a nostalgic air to it, not in the sense of longing for the past, but rather of celebrating a period when musicians like Mick Magic and his colleagues could freely explore the boundaries of sound without limitation.
