Everywhere at the end of time
by The Caretaker

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Dying Man (1987)”

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce

Songs About Jason
by Aaron Dilloway

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Dying Man (1987)”

Muzzy, warped and unpredictable, 'Songs About Jason' presumably is Dilloway's tribute to his 'Grapes & Snakes' cohort Jason Lescalleet – whose -disc 'Songs About Nothing' vied with Dilloway's 2-disc 'Modern Jester' for Best of 2012. Steve Smith

Steamroom 1
by Jim O'Rourke

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Dying Man (1987)”

The music of the spheres...I want quarks and pulsars to sound like this...has Jim O'Rourke tapped into the cosmos? Are these drones and pulses and overtones that steadily accumulate and multiply how the universe sounds if we could remove the vacuum? Perhaps these pieces connect the inner and outer spaces of our existence and the ineffable gulf between them... John Cratchley
