Fresh Grabs

Tongues of Light - The Myth Of Separation & Selfhood: This album describes itself on the back cover as "channeled glossolalic material from various multidimensional entities." Artist Sam Mcloughlin mined YouTube for videos of "channelers" uttering words, tones and sound poetry that have no meaning but believe they flow from independent entities of their higher selves or external intelligences. The found audio is layered over slow-shifting, pulsing drones and indigenous rhythm loops. Each side is a 19+-minute continuous track.

I don't know quite how to describe it other than hypnotizing and unsettling -- quite a memorable listening experience.

Now I play a fair share of adventurous stuff in my household and my bride graciously accommodates (tolerates?) it most of the time but when I put this on the turntable, she asked if I had joined a cult and told me to turn it off or she would leave the house. I love her. Limited pressing of 300 on clear vinyl by Pre-Cert Home Entertainment.

BIosphere - Substrata: Repress of Biosphere's classic, best album. Highly recommended and a must-own for any self-respecting ambient fan.

I want that Biosphere record SO BAD. It's like being in still space.

Where did you acquire it?

Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay
Tim Maia - Racional Vol 3
Lucy Dacus - No Burden

One way or another, I bought all these records due to this forum. Red Clay was a recommendation from my Secret Santa @dhodo alongside Straight Life, which was one of the records I got. Tim Maia was a push from @Selaws; interested to hear how good this sounds as not v clear what label this is on etc. Not really sure who's responsible for Lucy Dacus but I started getting into a while ago and this was out of stock then but just came back in.

If you get a chance, find a good digital of Red Clay live -- it was a bonus track on the digital version and it is straight fire.
