Aussie imprint A Colourful Storm keeping it rolling at a relentless pace, flooring us just a few weeks ago with lethal mixtape one-two from Time Is Away and Vladimir Ivkovic, followed by the pensive heartbreak pop of ‘I Strumble And Then I Fall’ and now a retrospective of singular Swiss artist Christian Pfluger aka Die Welttraumforscher.  Active since the early 80’s Pfluger’s Das Moniflabel label has been an outpost for a spiralling array of self-releases rich with his own illustrations and sense of humour, often marrying his own constructed fantasies with the typical banalities of daily life.  Musically, Die Welttraumforscher’s own esoteric DIY pop miniatures are exactly the sort of home-brewed genius this shops lives for - scrappy nearly-hits of starry-eyed dream pop centred around the trusty war horse set up of guitar, drum-machine, whatever cheap synth available at the time and an omnipresent electrical ground hum.  It’s a scene and story done to death but there’s something magical and enigmatic in the aether here..
