Was mooching around the music shelves and came across this superb cassette length track
Mindflight by
Matthewdavid which I was listening too constantly whilst away on holiday in Pembokeshire this last Summer. This lovely release was a constant companion on my walkman whilst perusing various prehistoric chambers, tombs and mounds, and added a delightful ambient summery vibe to the various places I visited. Think
KLF - Chill Out, Think aborted Jimmy Cauty proto Orb offering
Space, Think distant african tribal drums carried on the wind, Think half rememberd snatches of sound or dialogue and your in the right ball park. The B-side of the cassette is the A-side in reverse, a rip off you may think, but it really works as a sepearate recording in it's own right.
Have a listen to the A-Side
Here.
On a slghtly different tack, I used to own a tape copy of
Capt. Beefheart's Abba Zaba that did something similar to Mindflight. The B-side would bleed through onto the A-side during playback, and vice versa making an out there album even more of an 'out there' experience.
And of course, this is just an excuse to show a few 'megalithic' holiday pixs well.
