Bonus track from the new album: Blink Twice - Other Locations [Expanded Edition]

https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/blink-twice-other-locations-expanded-edition

Other Locations was originally released in 1996 on the German record label Broken Seal. It was the first CD release from Blink Twice and the label's second release.
At the time there was a zine culture in electronic music, where artists would send their cassettes through the mail to different underground music zines for review across the globe. It was really the only way to get one's music heard.
After putting out numerous cassettes in the early to mid 1990s, Blink Twice had earned a reputation as a unique dark ambient artist in America.

The dark mysterious sound of Blink Twice resonated in European countries, with favorable reviews in the Slovakian zine Crewzine, the Belgian leading electronic magazine Side-Line, Phosphor, and Wounded magazine from Lithuania. Blink Twice was also featured in American industrial magazines Outburn and Industrial Nation, as well as sonic-boom
sonic-boom.com/review/blink.twice-1.html

The sound of Blink Twice earned comparisons to artists like early Delerium, Dead Can Dance, Nightmare Lodge, SPK, and some of the Cold Meat Industry roster from Sweden such as Raison d'etre, Morthound, and Deustch Nepal. Although generally classified under the genre of "dark ambient", Blink Twice utilized much more melody and percussion than most ambient. Many tracks display the melodic layering and tribal percussion that are showcased in some current Mood Exhibit material.

"Other Locations" is finally available here on the Mood Exhibit Bandcamp page, Robert Salchak's official distribution for all his music.
It includes a large selection of bonus material from the era (1993-1996) that was either never released or only available on cassette.

Hidden as the last track is an epic nearly 15 minute tribal ambient excursion that can only be described as Dead Can Dance era Spiritchaser" (1996) meets Delerium era "Spheres I"(1994)

It is an essential historic document for followers of Mood Exhibit, as well as any fan of dark ambient/neoclassical/tribal/cinematic sounds.

Blink Twice - The Brighter The Moon, The Darker The Shadows

Ah, dear listener! I present myself here with my good buddy Gary, rather sheepish and shamefaced at being absent from this church of sonic jewels for the longest time.  I have been a bad listener, I'm afraid.  Bereft of mojo, time and without my little studio. Mea culpa. 

If you've read this far, you already have a whiff of the legendary about you.

So one day, quite recently,  the Phaigester messages me and opens his raincoat to reveal a select library of stellar little ear-nuggets he's been hiding away. What beauties, I tell thee! What beauties!
He lives here and you should visit if you haven't before

Three grabbed me instantly..deep, swirling soundstrata, complex and intriguing in equal measure. 

Perched on my bed, yodelling into the abyss, I attempt to add to his painting.  Teleported into that great,  inkyblack wonderland of transcendent joy again.

Hats off to Gar. Inventive, musical and patient. Thanks for your art and resuscitating me.

3 tracks..8mins plus..big ask. But hey, if you've read this far whilst listening you're halfway through 

Cheers me hearties, catch  you soon
Be good

Peripheral

I can’t see you, I can’t be with you
I can’t hold you or feel your welcome touch
As we slip into the water

I always sense you, I always feel you
Moving with me, our thoughts alike so much
As we slip into the water

When you slipped away on that awful day
You made me promise to live my life my own way
As I walk with you into the water

No more peripheral
It is logical
It is you and me

Tlaslila

I feel
Like I want to ride across the desert
Baking sand, tears of sweat in my eyes
Then climb climb the black mountains
Oh-oh-over we go, sail into the grey blue skies
I feel cold, dark deepness,
Feel fearsome rain,
Then fall
Fall into your arms again

Strange Agent

Strange Agent
You're never gonna find the man
Strange Agent
He'll let you run while you can

Fool you summoned him from beyond
Fool you thought he'd give you what you want
But that ain't the deal
Spinning the wheel
He's found something to steal
There's a soul to pay

Strange Agent, running wild in your head
Strange Agent telling you to talk with the dead
He's taking you by the hand

It's neat to repeat: You're never alone with a drone

Arpeggi-Au-Go Go (remaster)

Each morning I wake up and look out the window.  It's the same view but different.  It's a new day and a blessing to witness.  This was one of the first songs I ever composed.  I recorded it again and added the flute part. To me, it's beautiful.  I hope you love it!

A New Day

Another track from back in the archives from the album 'Music Matters' artwork by Fiona

Chasing Clouds Remaster

As long as we keep feeding ourselves the mistaken idea that we are better as a country/race/people/high school than the one next door then we will never be able to actually live together and benefit from others strengths and learn how to strengthen our weaknesses.
Yes no two people are alike. Yes cultures have different foods/customs. but NO! one is not better than another. Just because you are familiar with something doesn't mean that something else is "worse"

lyrics

a round peg talked to a square hole
we seem to be very alone
why don't we get together
let's be friends 'let's build a home
I know your edges are sharp and harsh
you seem very stubborn and set in your ways
my wood is light and yours is dark
we are different in so many ways
but in the end we are both just shapes
not better, not worse, just different
so let's give it a try, what do you say?
together is better any old day


I don'e see how the square hole said
your shape is so amorphous
no start, no end  just smooth and endless
round and round you have no point that I can see
so go away and leave me be


then a carpenter came walking by and heard the conversation
I think I can be of help let me try
maybe It will be your salvation
so he took out his tools and went to work
he smoothed the squares rough edges with a stroke
then he stretched out the circle really long
at the end of the day the square and circle were gone
we were left with ...an oval and ellipse


while the fit wasn't perfect to both their surprise
it didn't need to be for them to survive
give a little, take a little, that was the key
compromise was all they needed to live happy
now they don't live alone but together happily
