yall need to hear Laraaji's vision songs tape, which is a solid hour of cosmic drum machine/keyboard/zither vocal jams from 1984. first track on side B, "Bliss Out," is probably my favorite thing of his.

also, can anyone point me in the direction of hiroshi yoshimura's soundscape 1: surround? i've been obsessed with nine post cards and green lately, and i can't find that one anywhere, save a couple of tracks on youtube and mixes.

especially when the piano enters over the singer (about 10 minutes in) it reminds me of parts of harold budd's pavilion of dreams

it's difficult to find new age/ambient stuff that plies a line between being too major-key and "pretty" and the robert rich-type diffuse "dark" droney stuff. reminds me of pyrolator's wunderland which is one of my favorite albums ever.

This Rorqual tape is pretty cool if you like hazy, minimal textures that have a kind of Basinski vibe. But more concise.

i've been listening obsessively to the bonus track to harold budd's avalon sutra, "as long as i can hold my breath - by night", which takes up the entirety of disc 2 at 1:09:28 and is adapted from the last song on the first disc.

the whole 154 album is sublime.. needs to be repressed
― a but (brimstead), Sunday, 18 December 2016 02:52 (seven years ago) link
i agree that "as long as i can hold my breath - by night" is totally gorgeous. i really like the rest of that album too, it sustains quite a mood.. nocturnal pastoral stateliness, would befit some david sylvian vocals but it's quite wonderful just on its own.
it's unfortunate that darla's reissue subbed a really stock-y orchid photo (plus typically naff darla typeface) for the super pretty roccoco-ish rose ensemble of the original issue.

I heard a track from another Loren Chasse record on the Sleepbot radio today: http://www.sleepbot.com/ambience/album/rbowsing.htmlbut the album isn't on Discogs or anywhere else on the internet, so I'm listening to all of Chasse's other stuff on Bandcamp (&loving it)
