jazz

The Collapsable Universe

the 1970’s were electric. synthesizers had crept into daily life, titillating eardrums with sounds from the future. in this environment, jammed full of new technologies, jazz mutated into elaborate soundscapes with layers and textures and grooves.

funk 'n' soul

Warning To The Cold

seems there have always been hard times. even though most of these songs were recorded over 40 years ago a lot of the sentiment rings as true today as it did then. as i’m sure it did 4 decades before that , and will 4 decades from now unless we give more power to the people.

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.
