D.D. who?

Let me guide you into the fictitious, colourful world of academic composer D.D.Denham [Jon Brooks, who records on the Ghost Box label as The Advisory Circle] and his pupils. Close your eyes and imagine that the sounds you are listening to emerge from the minds of Mr Denham's class of budding composers.

Matthew Young

Close to little before him and an expression far too ahead of his time, Traveler's Advisory was a home-recorded masterpiece worn by the velvet-beam of electronic-folk and anywhere else the beyond could go. Young's twinkling and intimate dulcimer compositions and squirrelish voice backed by the limbo of synth-rye meanders into a thousand canyons of mysterious end with all ambient rhapsody calling back and fro.

Feathered like Tangerine Dream's Peter Baumann chanting Pentangle's lost chord, whether Carl Orf, 12th century medieval strum, or a very astral Eno-fied rendition of Michael Hurley's "Werewolf" (described by Hurley as "one of the better versions"), Traveler's Advisory freezes our thoughts from all language, and bounds them into the tarnation of a sacred feeling of wind and hope.

old new possibilities

Edward Larry Gordon -Celestial Vibration (1978, reissued 2010)

this can only be referred to as new age music -- music charting new ground and availing itself of new possibilities made possible by the 70s explosion in consciousness-seeking.

endless summer

beyond quantifiable emotion

Basinski’s stunningly gorgeous loops emerge as uncontainable, gauzy strains of primeval elegance -- arrestingly affecting in a manner entirely separate from classifiable feeling, beyond quantifiable emotion, and wholly independent of the graspable thought-world. Left to disperse, expand, and dissipate around the marble columns and up into the canopy of the vaulted ceilings, the sounds and reverberations filled the space as if inextricably embedded into the fabric of their natural environment.
