"Gentleforce Presents: Australian Ambience for The Observatory"

Gentleforce is an  ambient solo project by Sydney-based sound artist, Eli Murray. Even if you haven't seen the name before, there’s a good chance you’ve heard his music. His sounds have been included in installation works at festivals such as Underbelly Arts and Vivid Sydney, featured in the Australian Ballet’s advertising program, shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize award, and found their way into documentaries and film on the ABC and SBS networks.

Murray has always based his work in the worlds of field recordings and meditational synth music, with a focus on psychogeography and its interaction between the natural environment, spatial histories, and the emotional impact these have on the individual. Fusing these concepts with his love of traditional ceremonial music from around the world, and the influence of his many
years of DJ’ing at clubs, has created a unique melting pot of sounds to submerge the listener within. Meditation is at the core of everything Murray does, and his music has always aspired to transcendence through deep listening. Guiding the listener to healing and positive sound environments.

"When Jay asked me to contribute to The Observatory's mix series, I took it as an opportunity to focus solely on Australian artists creating music and field recordings that are built around this amazing landscape I call home. It's overwhelming if you look at the wealth of talented musicians and labels in Australia that create ambient style music, so I decided to create a mix based around artists that I know personally or have directly influenced my own music productions. Even hyperfocusing on this group of musicians was still challenging, as there was a lot of great music to choose from. But, I feel the outcome is sonically coherent and also quintessentially sounding of the bush and coastline meeting together. The tracks mixed are mostly long-form pieces, so I let each song breathe and melt slowly into one another with a meditative mindset. A big thank you to Jay at The Observatory for giving me this opportunity, Marcus at Holosuite Mastering for the magic audio sprinkles, and all artists featured that have inspired me along my own creative journey.  I hope the listener can get lost in these sonic landscapes and enjoy a deeper listening experience." - Eli

The Observatory - Gentleforce

Acclaimed author Neil Gaiman performs a memorable dramatic reading from NYPL’s own rare copy of "A Christmas Carol," which includes edits and prompts Charles Dickens wrote in his own hand for his unique public readings 150 years ago. Dressed in full costume and joined by writer and BBC researcher Molly Oldfield, Gaiman performs the classic tale as its great author intended.

Gridline - These Waves Of You

Faces In The Rocks

The idea of collaboration has negative connotations as does compromise … but something truly beautiful can be born from working together, sharing a vision and journeying on the road of creation with one or two close friends. This is evidenced here, on this the fifth volume of collaborations from Cousin Silas and his friends.

Over 5 CDs worth of music … 800+ mb of data if you choose 320kbps MP3 files … Cousin Silas and Friends vol 5 (waag_rel088) is a hefty celebration of truly independent ambient electronic music. It is also a celebration of Dave Hughes, the man behind Cousin Silas, and the friendships he cherishes.

Dave is truly a people person and people gravitate towards his cheeky banter and irrepressible optimism. I am proud to call him a friend and delighted to release this album on weareallghosts. I also greatly appreciate his ongoing support … waag wouldn’t exist without him.

A 320kbps version of this release will be available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’. 

It is important to note that weareallghosts is funded through the donations we receive for albums such as this. To help us to continue to put out this level of quality in the quantity that we do then please donate. 

Ask yourself, how much would you realistically pay for a CD? … and you are getting the equivalent of five in this one release!

****UPDATE****DOWNLOAD MAX REACHED****

****Big thanks to my brother Tony Rodriguez (Brothers Vibe, LUV4WAX)for the DAT player loan and the surgery on the DAT tape when it SNAPPED when we first tried to play it. You saved a piece of early TECHNO history!****

Thanks for all the comments everyone! If I was wrong on the date, I apologize, I honestly didn't think I was still going to the Limelight after 1993 and thats why I dated it earlier. 

Yes the sound quality isn't the best but like I said I snuck in a Sony portable DAT recorder and recorded it straight from the crowd from the floor level right below the DJ booth. 
While I was outside on line, the security guard frisked me at the door and was like "what the hell is that? You can't bring that in here!" I told him its just a walkman and he let me go in with it. I'm lucky to even have this bad recording to be honest.
While we were waiting for his set, Richard James walked by me and this kid I was with and the kid stopped him and asked "hey my friend snuck in a DAT recorder, can we record right from your mixer??? RDJ just laughed in his face, said NO! and walked away. Haha.

Thanks for the track IDs, that was very helpful!
*********************************************************
Back in the early 1990s when techno was just starting to explode in NYC, I snuck a portable DAT recorder into the Limelight nightclub when Richard James, The Aphex Twin was DJing a very rare live set. I recorded his entire 1hr set from the crowd and then put the DAT away for 25+ years. The other day with the help of my friend Tony Rodriquez (LUV4WAX)and his DAT machine, we finally made a digital copy of the set and finally uploaded it for all to hear. As far as I can remember, RDJ did only 2 live performances (one performance blew out the power to the entire club and left the place pitch black and silent for a few minutes!) and 1 DJ set at the Limelight during that time. I have never heard a live set from RDJ from the Limelight so this might be the only recording of this set (please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks!) The recording is loud and noisy just like 90s techno but I think its clear enough to enjoy. If you can ID any tracks to create a track list, feel free to post it in the comments!
