Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from December 5, 2019 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

totally off topic streaming video alert: Phase IV, the superintelligent ant movie that is the only film directed by graphic design genius Saul Bass (cf. The Shining poster and the Vertigo title sequence et al) has now been added to Amazon Prime. Bonus: cool synth sounds by the enigmatic (at least to me) Brian Gascoigne.

get ready for a curveball: the next LP is vol. 4 of "Fantastic And Futuristic Music" but is in fact titled "Fantastic, Futurist Music"
and people say library music is confusing to navigate

which is not to be confused with the other series, "Fantastic, Futuristic Music" (unless I'm the one who's mistaken)

More confusion: there is a second, later LP entitled "Relaxing Musical Themes". It has a volume 2, even. Who's n charge of these naming conventions? This is the labyrinth I wind through for you, dear listener
