This tape (which in the very beginning sounds like what
could be a laser-tag commercial as done by David Lynch) really most of the time
feels like it is electronic soundtracks and sound effects from old movies.
Listening to this throughout I envision: a scene from an old-school sci-fi
western – it’s dusk & some weird shit is going on. Or space travelers just
getting out of their spaceship & walking around a strange new alien Planet.
Or the trip-out scene in an old drug-scare shockumentary. Or probably any old
episode of the Twilight Zone.
Mellow Atari-wizard bursts double with field recordings from
alien lands (the occasional bird-chirps in one track really fill out the
ambience).
This is solid. Play it in the background or zone-out at max
volume.
Side 2 is a little more dynamic, btw, starting out less
mellow & more weirdo gloop-loop with some squishy crunchers , and ends on
an ambient chill voyage.
