Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from February 20, 2020 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.

Most of this LP was licensed from an Alessandroni LP of the same name on Sermi - probably the rest (such as this Filippi) came from Sermi as well
