about

This LP started out as a 3 minute mix, based on stems provided by Da Tengo God as part of a "best mix competition".

In the event, the majority of the stems were discarded and only a couple of rhythm tracks and some noise ("Sleet") were utilised in CBQ's mix, which also contains elements of his 2016 version of the seminal 1977 composition, "The Drone Effect".

The CBQ track won.

The piece has now been extended to create a two sided LP alongside the two original mixes (with and without Da Tengu God's stems) which were made available to download via WeTransfer for 7 days from 21 March 2023.

For downloaders, the further six elements which, along with the two original mixes, comprise the full work, are made available as stand alone pieces, as is the "clean" version of the LP (i.e. without the field recordings) and a 37 minute continuous clean mix of the full work, giving a download bundle of almost 2.5 hours.

about

Cloudland Blue Quartet Edinburgh, UK

A quartet in name only, initially influenced by Fripp & Eno's "No Pussyfooting" and The Velvet Underground's debut, songwriter & soundscaper David Reilly started musicking in 1977 by creating drones using sellotape on the keys of his dad's Bontempi Organ.

Time and texture. They move seemingly somewhat independent of each other, but also quite cognizant of the other. Categorizing is difficult here and this listener counts that as a wonderful success. You need to wear your different ears here. Recommended! solemnland

Version 3.0

It's not only the most focused album by BSC (from the ones I've listened) but, hands down, one of the best ambient works I've had the pleasure of listening in the last few months. It sounds tense and menacing at parts; soothing and even narcotic at others. Always mysterious, organic and engaging. 100% recommended! Iker GS
