I think I've been missing out. Is this what experimental corpses are like? THIS IS FANTASTIC!

Thanks!

Wait, your experimental corpse has a VIDEO? :-o

There's all sorts of aural splendour to savour in this from Mal's movie plunderphonics (the film was a recent #monsterdon pick, IIRC!) to Beto's luscious electric piano, Fuzzy's bass, Mike's piano/Hammond tag team, and Declan's terrifying sound collage bringing it all home to the finish line. Great fun!

Psychometry is the ability to read an object's aura and discover where it has been, who owned it and the likes. I believe this is a keyboards psychometric read as we recall all at once everything it has seen and felt

What cool trip this is. Everything seems to fit well even as a corpse, ever changing. Wonderfully weird, I'd say.

I'm for it! Enjoyed the samples and weird noises as I've put some in my last couple songs. Great job all

Starts off like changing the Tv stations and a host of sounds, then settles to some soothing chill sounds after, then the intensity returns!

Feels like the soundtrack to a 1970's kids TV drama like The Owl Service or Chocky.

Starts off so swanky and intriguingly sleazy with that groovy music and hilarious soundbites... Then we're led into a glitchy glimmering dream-state on the wrong side of the tracks in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. But not for long, because the bass-ship arrives to take us into the stratosphere (with a slight delay as we break through the space-time continuum). Now we're floating in anti-gravity... is that Mr. Trolley floating past us? I think our oxygen supplies might be getting low, I'm getting light headed but I don't even mind... everything is so sparkly... What's that?... my coms signal is breaking up... Houston? I think we might have a problem. Save us, Mr. Trolley! The Bee Girls are attacking the fuselage! 🚀🐝

I love how the groove stays but becomes more and more chaotic; and then some primal vibe is introduced (Fuzzy, of course), and the atmosphere becomes more contemplative -- with still some kind of weird groove, that kind of turns into chaos in the ending part. A fun listen, great work everyone!

Loving the groove mixed with the audio clips. They work so well together. The morph into the second section works really well. I love how the synths keep everything together while we get distorted chaos hits that add flavour. Then there's @fuzzy's bass & delay (I'd recognize that anywhere). Simple, yet effective. The delay trails give it a real spooky vibe. Then back to keyboards doused in reverb & some cool tubular bells. Finishing with some percussion & more audio clips - this time it sounds like we're at some protest against the government. Very cool. Yeah, this is such a fun journey. But all the sections work well together. Awesome work everyone!

See You In The Shadows…
