Release pending!
Thanks very much! I've never thought of myself as thrift store New Age before, but it's got a definite ring to it :) It'll be fun trying to explain that definition to my son!

By the way is the title of your track anything to do with Sun Ra? It makes me think of There Are Other Worlds (They Have Not Told You Of) from Lanquidity

Boy howdy, I wish I was adrout enough to be inspired by Sun Ra, but alas, I can't claim the influence. (Though now I might!)

YAYYYYY great job everyone, and thanks a lot to HAK, shikawkee and Moid.
Can't wait download it tonight and listen to the final tracklist.

Currently listening to Upwards and really enjoying it. The animal-esque background noises remind be of sitting on the front porch of my parents house late at night where there would be a constant undulating of frogs from the marsh across the road.
That was really what happened, except for the fact that I recorded the frogs standing in front of the pond and not across the road :lol: . Too bad I did it after the deadline for submitting the samples was gone, but I decided to use it anyway because it was really hypnotic.

Gonna get me a copy of this a bit later on. Bummed that I missed deadline but unfortunately life, uh, found a way to get in the way so to speak.

Congrats all that did stay involved!

Edit: I have no idea how to scale an image to fit, sorry. To see the whole image, go here: https://imgur.com/a/2VE82w4

Edit2: Fuck it, I'll just make the image smaller manually!

This should work?
Love this


Thanks guys for putting this together and letting me contribute, it was a cool idea and I had a lot of fun with it

I've been incredibly slow to finally sit down to the whole thing. And it is on a miserable rainy, cloudy day.

And I'm super impressed with all the tracks! I'm glad I got to be part of this and here's to more in the future :hug:

Nice to hear that HAK!
The album has been my main soundtrack while driving to work in the morning last week, and actually I was thinking about a new collaborative project starting with different ideas.

you guys....
thank you for this album & congratulations!

It turned out utterly beautiful & disorienting in the best way...

I put it on when we were playing one of those exit rooms to play at home,
and it made everyone get into the game that much harder... suspense!

favorite quote when a riddle was harder to solve:
"god, can't think straight with this music"
and I was like :excellent:
aural conjunctions on SC

I hate moodswings are awesome! Oh, and I usually post when I'm way too tired...
