Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot. Those are "the 4Rs”.
That first one, “Reduce" is what we’re focusing on here. Right here, right now! We must become smaller, consume less. Not just food. Not just carbon-based things, but oxygen!
You ask any decent Rick Moranis impersonator and they'll attest that you can save a metric FUCK TON on your grocery bill -hell, your carbon FOOT PRINT, en totale!- if you get shrunk…
I must confess. This ecological conscientiousness was not my idea. T’was the STR. They’re always at it, trying to make the world better* for you, me, and us.
Case In Point: “SLW: MDPMS” now hi-lights a sinisterly under-looked option for curtailing the world’s Climate Change problem: If we all could just imagine ourselves fulfilling our shop-til-ya-drawp tendencies in a fancifully tiny (read: “kee-yoot!”) way**, we ought save a few banknotes, easily, right?
&we'd need a seriously devoted team of psychoacoustic/pop technicians to provide this ambiance. Brian Eno solved the Airport problem; STR has the Tiny Mall one figured out before it’ll even be a thang!
&so, take notice: Y’all’re now hereby invited, nay, Dared(!) to listen to this All-Star line-up of selfless socioeconomic composers’ posits on what might be best fitting to pipe through the tiny PA speakers of the mini-mini malls of your mind. Imagine, with your ears big and small, what it’ll feel like to visit dozens, perhaps hundreds, of tiny shopping centers in a single afternoon. STR knows how to facilitate the headspace for that. All you gotta do is muster a li’l focus & listen in.
For the love of Odin, please click on the bandcamp link below and read STRs own ingenious thesis (and ogle the KILLER lineup of ambient/experimental artists who got in) on this comp. This tape ought to make history!

*but, in all seriousness, they really do ALWAYS lend a perspective that makes this hellish life more bearable, no?
**for even, say, 81 minutes, straight?
PS- some of these tracks are fucking terrifying
