lunar miasma

lunar miasma ~ arrival (field studies, 2011)

"two long-form reflections on heavy, cosmic synth immersion from Athens, Greece-based Panos Alexiadis. rather than drifting through the void, his focused, circling analog figures turn inward, suggesting new frontiers not of empty unknown but for expanded personal consciousness. outer space as inner mantra. edition of 100, pro-dubbed on chrome." field studies

reedbeds ~ swells on high (hooker vision 2011)

"Longtime fans of Reedbeds’ particular brand of hazy good vibes will instantly recognize this subtle masterpiece as a perfect wintry addition to an already extensive discography. New listeners will be equally rewarded as they sit back and allow the soft washes of guitar to smooth out any worries of the day." hooker vision

mountainhood

mountainhood ~ owlland the vhs album (important 2011)

"Owlland is an album on vhs as it's format. The band liked the sound of vhs and recorded the album on the audio track of the tape. Visual album art plays at the same time on the video track.

Owlland the epic new non-linear odyssey through love, time, and dimensions of California. Follow Mountainhood as he reveals the faces of magic apparent in nature and its human inhabitants as he leads us through planets in space, made of caves, stalactites, and moss, to Big Sur, where he visits the Boat-Maker's Daughter, and Kim Starlight, the famous Topanga Canyon actress, who plays a magician in the film, and later appears as herself in a disarming, candid revelation of sadness, loss, and transcendence. Ghosts, rainbows, oceans and stones dot the topography of Owlland, a mysterious new vhs album from Mountainhood band" important

keijo ~ first time (full of nothing 2010)

"The Finnish free folk elder statesman Keijo Virtanen is back with another album in his vast discography. However, this work is titled "First Time". The album follows his recent output of his own very open approach to blues. But no W. Guthrie covers here, only Keijo's own pieces, with help from friends on two tracks. This is where free folk meets blues in the most beautiful and stunning way. Cardboard sleeve with photocopied collage pieces, hand-stamped cdrs. 100 copies." full of nothing
