This instrumental album for the soul starts off with a modern dance tune called 1961. I don’t know why the composer decided upon the title, but the tune is a good dance-floor dream. Hopefully the composer will slip by and add a comment. The rest of the new album, Our Souls Are Electric, deals wonderfully with the soundtracks of the mind creating mini-stories from dreams within each individual psyche that happens across it. Very intriguing. Shoutout this time around is for an older album that walked in the door with the new one, S is for Silence. Shoutout tunes from that album are Hidden & Impulse. Thanks!

The truth is never far behind the past, it’s all here in the midst of a concerted effort to remember. I sometimes have the freedom to consider the sounds made by a klystron resonating in orbit around us, to desire the ability to ride alongside and feel the throbs of its inner burnings. Brokenkites, in this hour of intense meditation, has brought to the surface some of these depths. The joy is the fact that there is no longer a pain related to the things left forgotten. No regrets have disintegrated in measures of belief and understandings of this belief. All these moments are both present past future and beyond in a single chord repeated and explored in conjunction with doublestringed chords and thoughts. Shoutouts for Epiphora & Escape Velocity. Special shoutout for the neoprototype Prelude. Brokenkites
This is truly a soundtrack record for the head. I chose Beta Eight for the podcast, but this instrumental mood album is one to appreciate all the way through. It’s kind of a modern tone poem, using synthesizers instead of orchestra to describe the “Dynamics Of Darkness.” The best description I have is taking the trail with Dante through the first book of his Divine Comedy. The CD is bookmarked by two compositions – Into the Darkness and Into The Light. Along the way we meet up with the Fifth Demon, Mephistopheles and Metempsychosis. A nice walk. I chose the opening cut for the shoutout – Into The Darkness. Brokenkites
Ambience music. Mood music. Meditation music. Take your pick. Today I am enjoying the Alps, Nels Cline and Broken Kites.
Wall of Impossibilities is a soundtrack of travel into some of the unknown recesses in my mind. I feel I am looking through a wall of water at a dream of people not at peace, but moving slowly, exaggerating their power of destruction. Revised Euth clarifies the picture a bit, with percussion focusing my thoughts on the movements. The wall is moving faster, and the people behind the vision are involved more in a dance than a fight. They travel around each other fluidly, without falling. They slowly get taller and taller and are reaching up toward the sun for strength. Techtonics moves the people away from each other as they reach toward each other. The plane I am observing the action from is also moving, backwards. We drift away and the seas begin moving our small islands up and down so I see one set peaking then receding while another set reaches up. We start swirling, and come closer, crossing, almost able to reach each other through a mist of a waterfall. Still silent. Not quiet, but silent inside. A beautiful ride. The questions remain but no longer have meaning. Meaning is not necessary. This album is the instrumental landscape called Flight School, and is available from both the net labelHollowscene and from the band website Broken Kites.
