Strange mix of ambient stripped down collage and Ennio Morricone sparse guitar/horn/vocal work. Pianos, found sound environmental recordings. Unusual and tough to nail down; one second ambient the next noise. Like Brian Eno crossed with The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Dig it.
1) chill soundscape ambient soundbed
2) rhythmic acoustic guit, morricone feel w/ western perc and soaring horns, subliminal noises/voices
3) sparse guit , drum rumblings
4) outdoor environment sounds, tinkling intro, vocs enter, gruff, minimal guit
5) sorta playful mix of looping synth and treated guits, drums
6) ambient synth collage
7) solo guitar, drones, piano
8) found sounds, collage ambience, builds to noisiness, ends ca. 30 sec early
9) quiet piano intro
10) super stripped down guits, xylophones, sounds, turns morricone w/ rhythm and horns
11) strange western tinged brief ambient ballad
12) super ambient, trumpet treated, like a dream, soundscape, then after 8 minutes lyric and guitar come out of nowhere then go away again, sheesh!
13) super ambient w/ some dog sounds, freaky
