Bizarre weather we’ve been having lately, with overcast days that are also blazing hot when the sun does get to break through, and now it's all changed to being relentlessly rainy and very foggy. It’s certainly been atmospheric, and Music-wise its made me go from one extreme to another, from slow movement ambient sounds, with tracks taken from Celer:
Close Proximity And The Unhindered Care-All, William Basinski’s:
92982, and Stars Of The Lid:
Avec Laudenum, and on the other days when we’ve had much more sun than not, I’ve been playing Atlas Sound:
Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel, along with Deerhunter:
Microcastle, and Lotus Plaza:
Floodlight Collective.

I also have the CD soundtrack of the first season music that was released in 2004, and much as I enjoy the funky music of Derek Wadsworth in the ‘outrageously revamped’ second season, you cant beat Barry Gray’s first season music for spine-tingling fantasy atmosphere. I used to have the RCA gatefold vinyl album of it, bought it in the late 70’s, saved up my pocket money and got it mail-order (how did we ever survive prior to the internet!). Sadly, I was broke in my early 20’s and sold the album to a local store for peanuts, now if only I’d seen its long term rarity value and the coming of ebay in a crystal ball, mind you, if I still had that album then I definitely wouldn’t part with it now.
And speaking of atmosphere:

Superb!
Presently playing the
Ark album myself right now, thanks again for mentioning it. Great music, and that gently strident voice that overpowers and stirs you onwards emotionally, only tiny criticism for me is with the ordinariness of some of the lyrics set against this rich tapestry, but otherwise Superb!
