Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from May 3, 2018 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.

You should check out Al Lovers mixtape on DW where he put lots of 60s stuff through some effects.. not an expert so don't know what it was but it sounded cool. Its called Purgatory Blues

@LD, re: Moroder - definitely. a lot of that Muscle Up and School Daze Cowley is actually just tracks he recorded and later slowed down for atmospheric effect, so it's really very Cowley all the way
