Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
I like long player minimal tech-house albums like this because they tend to be a long enough run of perfect listening material for work. Not too much distraction but quite enough pumping energy.
(And this makes two Ghostly records in a row on this blog.)
This is eerie techno. Like the haunted house on the top of the hill reaching out of the foggy path leading up to it. But with mystic neon-glowing steroids that turned everyone into robot werewolf mutants inside. There are black-eyed floating children on the front porch wearing white nightgowns and staring at you without any blinks as you approach. You hear the techno’s faint thumping through the closed doors like you feel your heartbeat in your throat. The doorframe illuminates with flickering light from inside. And you reach for the doorknob.
Large, space odyssey, written to be epic. And not epic as in dancefloor smasher. Epic as in grandiose, travelling through space and time.
Some ambient, some downbeat, some mid-tempo, few upbeat, listening pleasures, chill, peace of mind.
Electronic on a wide range from ambience to electro, but in many cases with a soundtrack and visual feeling to it.
Hiphopish, glitchy, brainfeederish, ninjatuney. Not foreground music, not dancefloor music. Background thing but not at all elevator music.
It’s a short thing. But it’s kind of a smash.
According to its premise this is supposed to score the universe with music from before the boom to the infinite future. Beautiful, atmospheric, inspiring.
It is a soundtrack to a tv series, but it is not released as a soundtrack. So this is a Clark album in its own right, but is a soundtrack nonetheless. It is the soundtrack to a snowfall on a gloomy dark dawn. To a ship sailing out into the vast ocean and breaking ice on the go. It is the soundtrack to its sinking and hitting rock bottom. And to the sunshine that glides through the water and reaches the masthead of named ship waving goodbye.
Ambient electronic sci-fi soundtrack with light bokeh and spaceships. In a city. With rain.
