Dreamers Cloth - Positive Theme Music

See Update Below (posted 12/4/2008).

I just got this tape and I’m realizing that I made a mention of it in my last entry. Good stuff. That happened with the Sounds of the Mothership cassette as well. This kind of stuff happens – it’s total synchronicity. Where can you find this tape? I’ll drop an address below. The only reason I was able to get a copy of this is that we are trading – Gift Tapes for Dreamers Cloth’s new release. So I owe him and he’ll be the first to get our new stuff.

When I put this tape on today, it eased the nerves and relaxed the mind. Positive Theme Music indeed. The soothing sounds of synth on tape oozed out of the speaker cones. The positively charged air molecules soothed my throbbing head. I have to say, this guy gets really good tone; it’s somewhat lo-fi, but the frequencies that do come through have this quality that emulates the old records your grandparents used to play. You wouldn’t know that this music is from this time, and that is true with all the other Dreamers Cloth releases I’ve heard.

What makes this release stand out from the others are the transitions from track to track. They are pronounced by the start/stop of the playback head of the recorder he’s working with. And this is by no means a distraction, as the tracks build up this cohesive entity, a collection of otherworldly drones and melodies. And this entity distinguishes itself as one that hypnotizes us into entering portals to other dimensions. You’ll be sucked back into your body, but left with the promise of possible reentry (flip the tape).

This tape promises many future travels to a cozy land of island sunshine. Happy time music on an old stereo, relaxing on the beach in the warm ocean breeze. Transformational and teleportational, my friends… you want this tape. You can attempt to get one from Stenze Quo (if you can decipher the text in this image). This is an image of a small card that accompanied the cassette:

UPDATE

Via Relax with Nature site: “get in touch with johann if you want to get hold of this at www.myspace.com/stenzequo“

Here is a tiny track from Danish musician Dreamers Cloth. It was released by Relax With Nature on a cassette titled A Bamboo Dream. This feeds me the necessary energies and inspirations I need to cancel out the bad shit. Excellent healing pleasure. As far as I know, he’s got 4-5 releases under that name… all sold out though – super limited edition. Though I do believe there is a blog out there that one might be able to find his stuff on (that is an assignment).

*Look out for a new release on Stenze Quo called ‘positive theme music’. Where you can find that label or purchase that tape – I have yet to find out… Let me know if you know. This shit kicks my ass.

Annoying, but it must be done.  We’ve got a myspace setup… join us and stay connected to the spirit realm:  myspace.com/gifttapes

Podcasts are coming soon… but in the meantime, I highly recommend listening to Jeff Conklin’s show on EVR (East Village Radio) called Bring Out Your Dead.  The show focuses on the music of the Grateful Dead, but I’ve noticed it also includes new stuff from the new age tape world underground.  Its good reefer for the hover-flow space-mind jams necessary to keep the earth afloat.

God Damn. This is my hand.  That is my tape and that shit was sealed.  I looked all over the place for this cassette. A few weeks back I found some cheesy website in the UK, a new age shop that had a pretty big catalog of shit. Check it out: http://www.discord.co.uk/. They listed that they were selling David Parson’s Sound of the Mothership on tape, so I took my chances. I didn’t think I’d really get the cassette, but then they got my hopes up after contacting me to inform me that I was in fact ordering a cassette. It arrived in the mail today and I’m going to fucking celebrate with beer. Cheers.

Loosing touch on Lark in the Morning’s site where I found that video. I’ve really grown to love the sound of the sitar. And that reminds this dude:

David Parsons.  Former ad exec turned new age after seeing Ravi Shankar perform. He quits his job, goes to India, studies sitar, then buys a synth. Bouncing tracks back and forth on a tape machine, he came up with Sounds of the Mothership. Thanks Jeff! Actually, you should check out his blog: Avant Ghetto – it’s still there, dubbed from cassette.
