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

washed away in a sea of red.

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

paper window.

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

the earth keeps its secrets.

some more hisaishi to satiate yr needs.

wasted view.

more fire from my man joe hisaishi.

hazelwould.

more greatness from my man joe hisaishi. just like scene at the sea, this is from the early 90's & reminds me a lil bit of interior in the best of ways.

bridge of leaves.

amongst the maestros, marchetti never gets his fair due, which is a shame because he's a strong composer with an impressive body of work. really lovely music perfect for a soundtrack to a lazy weekend.

ps just realized it's been six years now. pretty wild.

i don't want to be yr shadow.

been going through miyazaki lately (for what feels like the umpteenth time but there are always details to pick up along the way), got to thinking about how amazing the scores are, got to hunting down more work by ole joe hisaishi & stumbled across this gem. what a beautiful soundtrack, & i thought i'd like to share it with y'all. the main theme has light shades of moments in love (at least to these ears), & the whole thing is really just so very lovely. hope y'all enjoy!

thoughts like rain.

everything moroder does is ace, but this is by far my favorite from the dude. johnny jewel owes a lot to this record...

raise the dead.

a classique of heady psyche rock.

qualchan ~ dead solid perfect (a screwed tangerine dream mix).

hey, it's been a while. hurt my arm at work so i've been outta commission for a while now. anyway, to relieve some of the boredom, i made this screwed mix of tangerine dream's dead solid perfect, one of their lesser known gems. i found that when i was screwing it took on more of an october feel, more in line with umberto/carpenter/simonetti/as much as i hate to say it, a stranger things kinda vibe. anyway, i hope y'all enjoy & are having a great weekend!

ps will try to be a lil bit more active over here, but we'll see.

pps artwork by main man, alex.

heart of stillness.

just when you think you know ennio. saloon girls is up there in favorite morricone songs. fun & upbeat to combat that seattle fall weather. see ya in the clouds.

smoggy mountain high.

hey. yeah. it's been a minute. but. here i am sharing this gem with ya so yr welcome. so masahiko sato wrote this fucking masterpiece of heady psyche giallo jazz in italy with some top notch session players for a japanese anime from the early seventies made with watercolors. there are only clips on youtube, buuut it just got remastered & premiered in austin at fantastic fest, so hopefully should be seeing a larger release soon. just get this. you won't regret it. sounding nice while i smoke weed on my porch right now.

ps sorry for absence, have been busy. maybe will come back, who knows. i have a tape dropping next month, will keep y'all updated on that.

pps not my rip, so all thanks to og.

welcome back fam.

my favorite composer fucking killing it. ennio is the goddamn bees knees.

casino on rose street.

holy fuck. if john carpenter was scoring a giallo, then this would be somewhere close to that. scored by brian may (not the dude from queen!) who also did the soundtrack for mad max, this is definitely one to get! haven't seen this australian horror film, but i love anything cheesy from the late seventies/early eighties, so definitely will be renting soon.

night is still there.

my main man morricone killing it on this one. as you can tell from the cover it's all warm woodwinds & beguiling strings. absolute gem of a jam.

i'm on one.

this is one i meant to post during oktober, whoops. will be posting my last few ennio records from my hard drive that i haven't shared here already. closing in on 400 posts, yeah.

linda lampton's revenge on horselover fat.

to keep the haint train a'rollin, here is the soundtrack to halloween II. not the greatest movie, but the soundtrack is pretty killer.

valis.

here is the soundtrack for the rest of yr oktober. stelvio cipriani is channeling suspiria-goblin, but adds his lush sensuous strings & ace sense of melody. & the best part is that claudio simonetti straight up fucking kills it with some ridiculously siqq keyboard parts. so so fucking good.

metaphysical live wires.

here are two soundtracks from the impeccable sven libaek. beautifully alluring & evocative.
