Immense, 140 minute otherworldy psychedelic dronescape courtesy of Sunroof!/Skullflower's Matthew Bower. I prefer this to other Hototogisu releases - the tone is surprisingly delicate and airy next to the usual blackened plumes of noise. Sunlore indirectly tipped me off about this ages ago but it's near impossible to find being a limited release of 300 copies. Luckily, I came across a vinyl rip on someone's blog a couple of days ago. Shimmering Zen weirdness that can be sequenced in any order. The rar archive is massive and split across two parts.
Rar part one
Rar part two
I've only listened to maybe five minutes worth, but it has been a blissful five minutes. Perfect staying in for a quiet one music. Thank you cjh and, indirectly, sunlore.
