Comment:

The Valisian Psycle: An ongoing series of mixes inspired by (and in Tribute to) Valis; a means of saying "thank you" for his tireless promotion of present-day psychedelic music and for the numerous psychedelic publication recommendations he has made during the time I have come to know him.This installment came together purely by accident. As I began compiling the multitude of tracks for this project, I began noticing a surprising phenomenon: a number of the tracks within this sub-genre utilize field recordings of birds and/or crickets. Which got me thinkin', what would be like to sequence these back-to-back-to-back...etc? I set out to find out.After reviewing the library of tracks, in turned out that the trick was to get the tracks aranged in manner which sounds "natural". What I wound up was as close to a dawn to dusk transition; chirping birds to noon day atmospherics to nightfall crickets, ALL set as backdrop to some fantastic neo-psychedelic folk and pop.In all, it turns out that some mix's which come together by chance can very well be stronger than those from staunch design.Enjoy!
