Proportions - Visions From A Distant Past PRoPoRTIoNS is an internet-based band playing original progressive music. The four members of the band have been involved in various projects for several years, and the idea of making a whole album together became natural after making a few tracks together. The idea is that any member of the band sends a rough demo to the others, and leave them free to add whatever they want. The basic structure has an originator, but the end result is a work between the four members. PRoPoRTIoNS is about the joy of.. 192914898184 $11.00

Glass, Phillip - Itaipu: The Canyon CD “Itaipu is a place between Brazil and Paraguay and hosts a large hydro-electric dam.

The extensive choral work is written in the language of the Giuranni Indians. Glass often chooses obscure languages for the effect of distance. This is a powerful pair of compositions and... 28-MOCD2723287.2 $14.00

Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) "Daytime Viewing (1979-80) is an extended narrative song, based on a casual analysis of daytime television drama and the audience phenomena such programming addresses. The piece explores the use of fantasy as a survival mechanism against loneliness, illustrating the human compulsion to inflate the mundane to mythological proportions.

Followed by decelerated psychedelics in the jarring and flickering flow of iridescent freak waves, overwhelmed by the northern lights, whimpered darkly. Monotonous"... 05-RCD 2211CD $16.00

Kairon; IRSE! - Ruination CD Krazily named new progressive / psychedelic Finnish band who show a fairly masterful level of maturity and control on this, their third album. Rather complex in an old-style way (think Kultivator, Gentle Giant, Miriodor) and with nice, ethereal vocals, but also with a certain touch of modern guitar stoner / shoe-gaze-dom that makes this unmistakably sound like a record of today. I'm not doing a very good job of describing it's quality. but a tremendously quality release this is. Highly recommmended!.. Svart 071 CD $17.00
