Which is surely about due for a revival any time now!<br /><br />In keeping with the retro theme I've kept the music deliberately sparse, many of my favourite tunes from the late 80's/early 90's were made using a couple of synths, a drum machine and some effects, so that's the kind of sound I was aiming for here.<br /><br />"Dance" music this isn't though, although you could probably freak out to a few of the tracks. This is Acid House done like it should be, deep and trippy.<br /><br />01 - Pea Souper<br />02 - Acid Test<br />03 - Nether Regions<br />04 - Nitefear<br />05 - Phreaker<br />06 - Acid Drops<br />07 - Dark Matter<br />08 - Mystic Acid<br />09 - Acid Rephlux<br /><br /><a href="http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/5393280/Visceral_Now_-_In_the_Realm_of_the_Unreal.5393280.TPB.torrent">Get the torrent</a><br /><br />...alter8ively<br /><br /><a href="http://www.archive.org/download/VisceralNowIntheRealmoftheUnreal/VisceralNowIntheRealmoftheUnreal_vbr.m3u">Listen to audio stream</a><br /><a href="http://www.archive.org/details/VisceralNowIntheRealmoftheUnreal"><br />Visit the "Visceral Now" Internet Archive page</a><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7920620907866153909-7466566917039004799?l=heavyhornaction.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Heavy Horn Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01613101105284322362noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920620907866153909.post-83975819304619144182006-11-15T19:07:00.002Z2012-01-21T14:00:15.453Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/949/966872669417255/1600/Heavy%20Horn%20Action%20-%20Hyper%20%28Front%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/949/966872669417255/320/Heavy%20Horn%20Action%20-%20Hyper%20%28Front%29.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Ok, now for a demo from early 2006.<br />Definitely a more laid-back vibe to this demo disc, heavily influenced by 60's psych, Sci-Fi and general weirdness.<br /><br />Strap in and get ready for a journey to the hinterlands of the mind as you listen to this soundtrack to an imaginary future utopia gone wrong.<br /><br />01 - Intro<br />02 - Hyperbolikaleidoscopsychedelic Freakout!<br />03 - Infernal Machine vs The Creative Flow<br />04 - Feel Like Just A Number<br />05 - Superpseudointellectual<br />06 - Hour of the Indivisible Now<br />07 - Think 2<br />08 - Lose Your Mind<br />09 - Think What I Thought When I Thunk<br />10 - Subliminal Song<br />11 - Name Your Poison<br />12 - Think 1<br />13 - Falling Back To Earth<br />14 - Entropy (And The Ending Of Everything)<br /><br /><a href="http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/5393262/Heavy_Horn_Action_-_Hyperbolikaleidoscopsychedelic_Freakout_.5393262.TPB.torrent">Get the torrent & begin the trip</a><br /><br />... or<br /><br /><a href="http://www.archive.org/download/HeavyHornAction1/HeavyHornAction1_vbr.m3u">Listen to audio stream</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.archive.org/details/HeavyHornAction1">Visit "Heavy Horn Action" Internet Archive page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7920620907866153909-8397581930461914418?l=heavyhornaction.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Heavy Horn Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01613101105284322362noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920620907866153909.post-50715383075423563062006-11-14T23:53:00.002Z2012-01-21T14:01:04.414Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/949/966872669417255/1600/Midnite%20Classix%20-%20Feeding%20The%20Thin%20Air%20%28Front%29.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/949/966872669417255/320/Midnite%20Classix%20-%20Feeding%20The%20Thin%20Air%20%28Front%29.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />A psychedelic trip through a variety of musical styles from Ambient to Drum'n'Bass, with a little Dub, Trip Hop and Jazz thrown in for good measure.
