Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from September 8, 2016 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Have you heard Johnny Spencer's s'Pacifica LP on Imperial? Also in the same vein, and quite good. And quite obscure.
Avatar 8:18pm
Flash Strap:

I love s'Pacifica! Great water/rain sounds, and killer all over

Spencer's son emailed me a while back, actually!
Avatar 8:22pm

ha, he also posted a comment on your Flash Strap share of that LP too, huh? reading that now....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:22pm
Little Danny:

Ooh, that's awesome - shoulda remembered you posted that LP
Avatar 8:23pm
Flash Strap:

hee hee he's a nice guy. he pointed out an error in that post that I've yet to fix, shamefully. Johnny Spencer is not from Ohio, or wherever i said he was from. I was misled by those that i thought i could trust
