A slow descent into hypnotic eclipse of mind - these days we switch tracks (or radio stations) after 5 seconds because we dislike... it's life, we should take it as it is. From the shimmering downtempo of BICEP's "Alit" through the dub techno gravity of Mulero & Tozzi, into peak-time hypnotism from Quelza and Charlotte de Witte.
"I feel on the verge of some great ultimate truth" - the mind's own eclipse, when something bright is briefly covered by something vaster. Best listened to after midnight, in the dark. Or when you trip - on a bike, in a car, whatever - with headphones. Or on a system that moves air below 40 Hz. Time-stamped tracklist below.
Cover art assembled from public domain 19th century engravings - Flammarion, Trouvelot, Nasmyth.
