original soundtracks, weird

Don’t Fall Asleep

a truly creepy collection of classic horror movie music that goes from the willfully atonal to the downright groovy. be sure to lock the doors, check the closet and look under the bed before you put on your headphones; and whatever you do, don’t fall asleep.

post-rock

Envious Of The Colour Red

post-rock is a combination of post-punk, progressive rock, ambient, dub, kraut rock, jazz, electronic music, space rock, free and experimental music. it’s what happens when your rock band has been playing a long time, gotten really good, listened to lots of amazing music, gotten bored of the main stream and drifted off into unknown territory.
