bcb723 I got really sick at the beginning of this wonderful year of 2024. It was whatever superflu that was going around the US. Complete craziness & I was immobile for a week. Didn't eat, had the chills, fever dreams & constant wild hallucinations. The soundtrack to my own self apocalypse?? These 2 tracks, on repeat non-stop for 6 days haha. Thank Dio I'm back to 100% now. But I definitely wanted to give a shout out to my boy Paul Riedl for helping me walk through the valley of the shadow of death 🤣 Favorite track: Dawn Of Cosmos.

Jared Harrison An amazing and incredibly immersive ambient tape that I connect with very deeply. That being said; Not a Darkthrone cover 0/10. Favorite track: Dawn Of Cosmos.

Dante Ruivo Another ambient hit for Paul, already used it for meditation and I love the tones on this Favorite track: Inner Sanctum.

This material was originally commissioned for installation at the Rocky Mountain Record Show in Denver, Colorado in early 2023. The pieces were to be played on an endless loop throughout the weekend inside a prepared room called the Cosmic Cave: a private zone in which attendees could seek respite from the chaotic chatter of hundreds of people in a bustling warehouse battling multiple sound systems. Upon entry, becalmed listeners were invited on an immersive aural journey through the “Dawn of Cosmos” toward their own personal “Inner Sanctum” while surrounded by crystals, salt lamps and incense amid ample comfortable seating. The installation was a success, with patrons reporting sensations of deep relaxation and a feeling of re-invigoration after their experience within the Cave. With this in mind, these recordings are dutifully offered unto the greater Cosmos in the hope that you, or any listener, may similarly experience a brief glimpse of inner calm, and that this Mindfulness may radiate peaceful energy outward from you toward all aspects of our shared earthly lives.

Created with minimal equipment focused on achieving maximum effect, these pieces (along with "Sleep Temple [Cloudscape VII]", available as a bonus track on the upcoming CD edition) are available now on professionally duplicated cassettes.

Headphones or stereos equipped for Spatial Audio are recommended.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
