The drums there remind me of the beginning of Miami Vice. :)

Great sounds and track, as always. Love these crusty, warbly old sounds.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that was Simon Jones in Arthur Dent-mode on vocals.

Wonderful off kilter sounds. Beautifully chunky synth. Really like it.

Stunning. Searing waves of shining electromagnetic magic.

Love this..  that drum pattern goes brilliantly with the music. Very 'Look Around You'!

This is my original hauntology playlist that I've kept updated since about 2011. I can't bear to take it down!

Places Past

Alphaxone (Iran) & ProtoU (Ukraine) join forces on Back to Beyond, the long awaited follow up to their space ambient masterpiece Stardust.

"Floating nutrition for your feline stowaway hits you amidst a sullen slumber. You jolt awake in the pilot seat and you hear the unearthly droning of your vessel. You look back and see the curious cat, leaping from wall to wall in zero-G snatching food pellets mid-air. The damn cat must have malfunctioned the kitty feeder again. This is why you normally leave her aboard the mothership, but no one knows how long this recon will take. Just a particle drifting in a never-ending expanse beyond reason. Golden dust shouldn’t be able to spread this far out from the wormhole. You realize the cat is safer with you and your sanity is safe with her. Those tincan AIs on the mothership know nothing of caring for a feline. In the cold heart of space, biologicals stick together, don’t they?"

Recommended for fans of Space Ambience, Atmospheric layering and harmonic drone.

Dreams of Solace

This was all played on guitar - the bell-like notes were a product of the tape delay degradation of the TC Electronic Triple Delay and a lot of patience.

First single off their 2nd album, Agar, out on El Paraiso Records April 7th, 2023.

On their 2nd album, Edena Gardens manifests itself as a permanent fixture in the El Paraiso catalogue. 

Edena Gardens could have flickered and disappeared in true El Paraiso fashion with a single session album, but the trio emerges with both a new studio album as well as a live album (Live Momentum). It’s part of the band's DNA: it contains multitudes. There’s always a variation or open path, shifting with ease from heady cosmic stoner folk-vibes, to the scorched earth of 12-minute centrepiece Veil. Halcyon Days opens up a panoramic interlude of beautiful analogue warmth, while closer Crescent Helix opens in full free-jazz mode, only to travel into an endless crescendo of alt. rock proportions rarely found on this side of the 90's. 

Somehow, Edena Gardens combines the sum of it’s multifaceted parts in a unified way, Perhaps due to Causa Sui drummer Jakob Skøtt’s transparent edits and layered treatments. Or perhaps the trio's level of experience and joy of playing simply connects whatever direction they pursue - Nicklas Sørensen of Papir’s glistering guitar lines, backed up by Martin Rude’s rumbling Baritone guitar strums or solid basslines. It’s an album that showcases not only the spontaneous paths taken but also the vast well of ideas or sounds only implied or briefly touched upon, creating an aggregation of sounds just out of reach.

Welcome back to Edena Gardens.

- Richard Littler, Creator of Scarfolk

'Enjoyable well-executed stuff.'
- Simon Reynolds, Retromania

'[For Concrete and Country] is brimful of Sharp's signature sound. The attention to detail, both in terms of music and as an artefact, is the sort of thing that should see you lot in an orderly queue.'
- Electronic Sound Magazine
