Receiving Telephone Messages From the Sky
Comment:
Yet another folk/drone/"whatever, really" mix, because apparently, I haven't made enough of those already? The political propaganda contained in my previous efforts has inadvertently and much to my own concern been replaced by a weird spiritual bent, especially noticeable in the final 30 minutes or so, which contains druids, witches, Friends-watching ghosts and David Tibet's apocalyptic phantasies. Fitting title for this mess provided by Wooden Wand.The background is that I promised a friend to send him a copy of the Mouthus album released last year as part of the Modern Containment series, and figured that while I was already sending him stuff, I might as well include an unsolicited mix built around a few other tracks from the same series. Since the 40- to 70-minute single tracks that make up most of these releases aren't all that suitable for mix-making, it ended up just being three songs from the series - the Hush Arbors, Bardo Pond (which is, in fact, a single-track release, but one consisting of three distinguishable parts) and Wooden Wand ones. Everything else is just stuff that seemed to go well with it, and which I hope he'll enjoy. I actually heard two of these songs (Niemandswasser and Broken Bones) performed live the very same day that I sent this off the other week, which was certainly very neat.
Feedback:
This is tremendous and it features my absolute favorite Wooden Wand track.
Just fucking great. Love the Bishop through Dead C opening especially. And, of course, the Bardo Pond. Ooh, and the Double Leopards -> AMM -> Wood Wand...Current 93...Hush Arbors...Whitmore...Grand...Migala...young...phantom carriage...ashtray navigations...
Well Alex, you and Curtis have left me in the woods, but I do note that Neil Young is pretty cool.
I enjoyed this immensely. Beautiful opening trio. Neil Young, Bardo Pond, Wooden Wand, all great. Great closer also, I must check out more from The Phantom Carriage..
Curtis is correct, this is f**king great Alex.
Thank you for letting me peak into some groups/songs I've never heard. Love the instrumental of Sir Richard Bishop, Neil Young superb, and great finish with The Phantom Carriage. Nice flow.
excellent stuff . . . .Bridget and Neil do it for me (maybe I'm getting old ?) . . . but I've been enjoying the Phantom Carriage of late too . . . nice !
Really, really fantastic - #8 is a personal favorite - I'm a big sucker for On the Beach. Kudos.
i'm with 12vman on the neil young track -- looks great, alex, i'll try & check out the full thing soon
I gave this a listen to a couple of days back and almost forgot to leave a comment! Anyway, outstanding mix. 8 to 11 is fucking amazing.
Better than Top notch!
this was the perfect atmospheric treat for a lazy, sunny Friday afternoon at work. loved the song playing at the 21 min mark (Hush Arbors?) and that incredible Wooden Wand and the Omen Bones Band song. thanks for sharing this stuff, other Alex.
will whitmore & the dead c on the same mix = pure genius. actually, your mixes as a whole look consistently awesome!
wow, just stumbled across this again on my hard drive. What a great mix ! Thanks.
