about

The universe will unfold as it should regardless of whether we are in it or not. Be that as it may, we are currently in it, or at least that seems to be the general consensus. What is not immediately agreed upon is whether or not we should actually be in it. But since we are here, there is no better way to contemplate it all than with some nice synths, or in this case, a single synth. Almost all of the sounds here are made by the mighty Meeblip Geode with the exception of the string-organ-ish part on Drone Photography and the field recordings in I Watched the News and Summer Nights. I hope you enjoy. I know I did.

I Am A Ghost But Don't Tell Anyone
by Eksie Kitchin

supported by 25 fans who also own “Painful Pleasures”

It is better and that is the main reason I like it. People can get much smarter listening to music like this. It has a stimulating effect on the mind. Music has been known to cure depression and wake people from comas. With the added magic of a ghost you have a very potent mental supplement here. I highly recommend it. Thanks for all that you do. In the Kitchin, cooking that food. Whatcha cookin? Whatcha cookin now? Michael

Jupiter
by Stephen Roddy

supported by 25 fans who also own “Painful Pleasures”

This is a cool mix of heavy guitar, progressive songwriting, and electronic music with a ton of melody and groove, an excellent guitar tone, and some very fine playing. This one is definitely worth the price of admission! Tom's Reviews

Hating Piano

The End of the Beginning
by Jetfire Prime

supported by 24 fans who also own “Painful Pleasures”

From the album opener to the closing, you experience what I shall henceforth call GALACTIC synthwave due to its powerful sweeping analog synthesizer melodies, its thick meaty rhythms (no rinkydink sounding drum machines here), its fat, cosmic arpeggios, and of course its sometimes death-defying musical chord choices (listen to "New Beginnings"). Sonically expansive. Loud and conquering. Lovingly assembled. Beautifully produced. Lionel Valdellon (Acid42)
