A lost soundtrack

Not an actual soundtrack but it sure sounds like one, a soundtrack for an especially awesome 80's Italian post-apocalyptic exploitation film. Matthew Akers' newest (and sold out) tape release via Retrograde Tapes, The Elders Of New Detroit will work as your own personal soundtrack for when you find yourself scouring the scarred wasteland in search of a cache of weapons so you can save the last woman on Earth from sex-craved cannibalistic cultists.

I think that might actually be the plot of a film already, oh well.

And man lives on...

Altered Aural States

Ever see the movie Altered States? Well Brainworlds has been releasing music that pretty much serves as a soundtrack to the sensory deprivation tank scenes.

Brainworlds is one Mason Brown from Atlanta who has 6 releases so far (that I know of) under the Brainworlds moniker. Each one consists of two long form songs that in his own words "works to envelop the listener in sheets of meditative sound and delve deep into the subconscious to explore the hidden relationships between the micro and the macro. Towering waves of electric harmony are the vessel in which the journey from myopia is made. Devoid of the constraints of time and gravity, the music of •Brainworlds• floats in the metaphysical realm where mind and universe coalesce."

So, climb into the tank and regress.

Deep bummer jams

An album of live Frippertronics from the man himself, Robert Fripp. If you don't know who Robert Fripp is, well then, that sucks. Part of his Soundscapes releases, this album was dedicated to his then recently deceased mother. It goes without saying, even though I am now, that this is some rather somber stuff. The eight tracks of the album definitely convey the emotions of grief and loss, especially the opener "The Cathedral Of Tears".

Get bummed.

Ambient Futures

Another sold out tape release post. Tapes are coming back, just like pogs!

Here we have Slow Futures from the always radical Sundrips. Well, as radical as ambient/drone music can be. Sundrips are rather prolific and have put out quite a bit of material. A lot of that material is (unfortunately) sold out but I'm sure a scouring of the internet could find releases for those willing to track them down.

This release is best experienced through head phones, in the dark, alone.

Zone in then zone out.

Nu Age

Righteous jams for your next journey into your inner self. Sold out cassette release from Brett Naucke via Arbor Infinity, was limited to something like 125 tapes. Naucke also runs the great Catholic Tapes label, you should check that out also.

I've got two copies for some reason, probably for double the self discovery.

Get your spirit crystals out and transcend.
