Biography
Bower first surfaced in the UK power-electronics / noise scene in 1982, when his band Pure, after just one limited cassette release, evolved into Total. By 1987, Total itself had mutated into Skullflower (including guitarist Stefan Jaworzyn and drummer Stuart Dennison), whilst remaining as Bower’s solo project. Skullflower differed from many of the bands around them in their preference for more traditional instruments and in employing massive volume and tenuous, near-formless structures still loosely tied to rock. Various lineups included members of Ascension, Terminal Cheesecake, Whitehouse, Total, Ramleh, Breathless, and Coil. Whilst Total began as a less rock-based and calmer, ‘isolationist’ / ‘ambient’ counterpart, the dynamic then reversed with Total’s later releases often considerably noisier and more chaotic than Skullflower’s. Having shut down in 1996, Bower returned Skullflower as a solo vehicle in 2003. Other projects he has currently running include Hototogisu (with Marcia Bassett), and Mirag, which sees him working material of a vaguely black-metal nature.

http://aquariusrecords.org/bin/search.cgi?searchfield=keyword&search_string=BLACK%20SUN%20ROOF!%203012 ...assumed that this new project, Black Sun Roof!, must be a black metal version of Bower's long running psychedelic ur-drone project Sunroof! Which while we have to admit sounds pretty goddamn good, is not in fact what Black Sun Roof! sounds like. Instead, it takes the blissy kosmische shimmer of Sunroof! and seems to meld it to the tripped out psychedelic jamminess of SF's Exquisite Fucking Boredom. Just check out the opener, "Crystal Docking Station", with its heavily flanged primitive riffing draped over simple soft focus chordal squalls, all wreathed in a druggy dreamy haze, and everything tethered to a super spare, skeletal, mostly buried in the mix rhythm. It's a glistening lo-fi sort of krautpsych mesmer that is seriously mesmerizing...
