spectral being

spectral being ~ ritualistic burning (already dead tapes, 2012)

"there is a phrase that goes: “next to meditation is music.” in fact, there are many sayings that can be used to say the same ~ that music has a way to heighten our awareness. for Spectral Being, it's the creation aspect of their music that leads into this awareness. inside the harmonies that mimic the human soul and exploratory songs that chant like a collective whole, Spectral Being is formed. a peaceful yet daring experimental group from southwest Michigan, they're releasing their new album which is a collection of slow instrumental soundscapes, piled under synthesizers, loops, effects and bass. come and jam with the phantom existence of Spectral Being this fall." ray jackson~already dead tapes

stalker recall ~ s/t (inspired school of astral music, 2011)

"good for you, Stalker Recall & Inspired School of Astral Music, to not have a web presence. hard for you, fan of alien drone, to procure a copy of this I’m sure. slow descent of UFOs onto the burning front lawns of isolated farmers, crews of loggers returning from work or wave-drunk sea captains. Stalker Recall flow out like a smoother-sounding version of Telecult Powers, the sound is more coalesced, but heavily rooted in the bubbles between oscillations. totally worth the buy if you can find it, but it sounds like something your astral spirit may have to procure." foxy digitalis

inspired school of astral Music ~ 1010 opening the digital door (sonic meditations/psychic sounds, 2011)

"split release with Psychic Sounds. Birthed as Bill Doob, Inspired School of Astral Music is Sam Jones of Million Brazilians, who also played drums in a few Kansas City bands before departing for Portland a few years ago. the synth-driven solo project of Jones' captures minimal synth explorations in the tradition of Brian Eno's "Ambient" series, early New Age explorer's and moments of Terry Riley's tape loop melodies. more of a conceptual project that also features essays with each release and concentrating on deep meditation and out-of-body experiences, ISAM will surely bring the calm, float your brain and drift your body." psychic sounds
