SUB023 Subterrestrial - "Transmissions from the Hollow Earth 2"

After being "accidentally leaked" almost a week early Subterrestrial presents the official release of "Transmissions from the Hollow Earth 2", the follow up to the original Transmissions from the Hollow Earth. Composed and performed entirely in Berna, a software simulation of a late 1950s electroacoustic music studio, "Transmissions from the Hollow Earth 2" takes a more complex approach with more of a focus on loop manipulation. However, like the original TftHE2 evokes dark musique concrete dronescapes utilizing only the simplest of parameters.

Mind Plug Records - The First Anniversary

Celebrating the first year of Mind Plug Records, label head Marc Fischer presents a free ambient intermix of some of the great music released on this label so far. A message and track list from our esteemed label head follows.

"This has been an exciting first year with some really great releases. Thanks to all who supported us!

We would like to celebrate this first anniversary with a special free download for all our fans - The First Anniversary mix: we have woven a track from each release that came out this year into to a dark, meditative, ritual, noisy soundscape.

We take off with Mikan's delightful Spacefalls. Subterrestrial's meditative High Sierra Breeze and Sunset Beach arise together at around (3:53). They are joined by Seetyca's ethereal Swamp Temple Sun (6.06), together melting their way throughout the first part of Mikan's mesmerizing The Way Back (6:52). Siamgda's ethnic Tribal Gathering takes over at (12:56), briefly visited by Siamgda feat. Morty's ritual Golden Prayer at (13:47), just before Neti Neti's harder-edged Circumdance (17:52) climbs its way through the Gathering up to the climax joined there by Siamgda's pulsating Mind Rotation at (18:15)."

Please feel free to download this free mix and help support Mind Plug Records.
