descending into space.

hey gang, sorry for not being around very much, it's summer & life has gone left for me. anyway, i'll be moving to portland in the beginning of september, so i'm selling off some of my tapes & vinyl to help fund the move. i'll try to be more active in the next month & a half because after the move there will probably be radio silence for a while. forever forward.

ps this hisaishi joint is real nice, just don't expect any fireworks.

pps buy my stuff here

smoke signals vol VIII.

hey, it's been a minute. just in time for the dead heat of summer here is my latest mix of chopped & screwed ratty europop records & dubious chillout spa comps. meant to be listened to loudly on a porch with yr heads in the clouds. hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

listen here.

ps if y'all want a d/l link just lemme know.

there is a place.

some real lovely early 80's breezy japanese yacht rock to help you get through wednesday.

meet me by the clocktower.

this kikuchi momoko record is fire. has a bunch of folks that have played on records that will probably get reissued at some point soon. everything about this is perfect.

neither more nor less.

i don't see a lot of folks talking about this vangelis album, which is a shame because it's amazing. perfect score for getting high at seven in the morning while enjoying a nice cup of tea.

washed away in a sea of red.

a synth score for a crappy 80's horror film. posting this for the mpcs.

the whole city between us.

before i run off to work here is some spot on mid 80's jpop featuring a fella from mariah. if that doesn't whet yr appetite enough, then i don't know what will.

the soft dissolve.

dub inflected cold wave from chris & cosey of throbbing gristle released in 85. nuff said.

swallow this swell.

beautiful jazz album featuring pharoah sanders so you know it's a go.

if you know you know.

mid 80's british boogie that wouldn't be out of place on 4ad. perfect jams to smoke weed to on a rainy afternoon.

an abandoned garden.

anything with klaus schulze is always a go.

a music of the eighth house.

a great way to kick off a saturday night with this post punk classic. not really a fan of later xymox, but this hits the sweet spot between 4ad gothic dream pop & post punk.

under the jaguar sun.

this is a really lovely piano album that came out through windham. love to put this on in the afternoon with the windows open & the sun shining through.

time shapes the lens.

heading down to portland to record, so i'll be away for a bit. leaving you with some more swishy piano shit. it's on narada, you know what's good.

a circular ceremony.

& of course some more hassell for y'all.

pale prophecy.

some classic mid 80's boogie.

paper window.

more joe hisaishi from the mid 90's for y'all.

dream of my love.

some swishy shit for a lazy afternoon.

goodbye dreaming fields.

deep zones for the clouds.

from a distant hill.

a wonderful slice of sophisticated mid 80's j-pop produced by masataka matsutoya who you might recognize from the aegean sea album which also features hosono & shigeru suzuki.
