DOWNLOAD: NFR Mix 2 - The Bee Roared Meat

The Bee Roared Meat

NFR Mix 2, April 2010

DOWNLOAD

For the second in our new series of monthly downloads I've made a deep droney psychedelic trip that dusts you up a bit before spitting you on your way.  For some reason I am really struggling to explain why this mix is and exactly what is does. It’s meditative, the tracks are generally long psychedelic repetitions of cycles, earthy and connected to natural rhythms, animals, totems.  These could be the sounds of nature fetishists, people in thrall to the dual enormity and insignificance of being, recordings with a sense of scale that draw the listener up in their mass, or reduce them to a speck.  Or it could just be my ode to the Microphones In The Trees blog.

Thanks for downloading.  Enjoy!
