hold yr breath.

i know i've said some shit about jim ferraro in the past, but have been revisiting this album from his peak & i've been thoroughly enjoying it's gloopy glue sniffing mutant lo-fi rock & roll.

children of the wind.

starting out an early sunday morning with don byrd's fantastic jazz funk fusion album from 75.

inner suggestions.

some real lovely minimal japanese ambient jams that harry hosono produced in 1983.

wall of early morning light.

let's follow that up with some more jon hassell.

the earth keeps its secrets.

some more hisaishi to satiate yr needs.

subtle strains.

cold minimal techno from 02. if yr into what voigt & co has been laying down over the last 20+ years, then you'll dig this.

dreamer awakens.

to kick the week off right, here is some cosmic dub from 81. straight fire.

rogue waves.

bewitching malian jams for a lazy sunday morning.

in a night of thirteen moons.

this canadian cheeseball had a brief moment as a disco sensation in the 70s tried to get shit going with a veritable grab bag of mid 80s sounds, some to much better effect than others. young lover is the fucking cut though.

going in.

let's keep it pushing with this slice of early 80's jazz funk.

andrew weathers // qualchan. split c26 out now!

hey! just wanted to drop a quick line to say my latest tape, a split with the phenomenal andrew weathers, is out through the stellar aescape sounds outta austin, tx. & of course i have to thank evan of flash strap notoriety for the gorgeously stunning artwork! my piece is a b-side to last year's here, tyrant death, exploring the now age while andrew's is some fantastic noisy drone.

purchase here.

though i may be dreaming.

i am obsessed with everything that jon hassell does, you should be too.

in the clouds.

an underrated gem from vangelis. not everything on here is great, but there are plenty enough moments to make this worthwhile.

choirs of the eye.

let's keep it pushing with some mid 80's mutant argentinian synth pop weirdness.

ps not my rip, many many thanks to og whoever ye may be.

qualchan. ~ one hundred years. c26 out now!

hey there! the first qualchan. tape of the year has come out today through the amazing czaszka records. a rumination on the end times for humanity, the tape is comprised of faded tape loops, processed synthesizers & mangled field recordings. riyl ~ basinski, turman, voigt.

purchase the tape here.

incidental boogie.

i know i know, everyone is already hip to this gem, but i hadn't heard it in years, been real nice to catch up again after all this time. still a really stunning album!

nothing ever happened.

this'll be the last japanese drop for a while.

other lives.

let's keep it pushing with more 80's japanese synthpop.

a long drive home.

gorgeously zonked out mid 80's japanese art pop.
