Rainbow Valley / Wind In WIllows - Split

This is the one. Pure, and ultimate space worship. Split release from the mighty Chemical Tapes featuring Rainbow Valley and Wind In Willows. Four tracks, two per artist of completely awesome constellation gazing soundtrackery. The front half from Rainbow Valley offers gradually building layers of melody, with timbres that are stunningly piercing and beautiful, things shifting from uplifting spiritual moments, to bits of sinister undertone just beneath the surface. The flip, from Wind In Willows takes a glassy miasma of opaque tones and subtle shifts, twisting twirling like a wormhole offering entrance to an unknown galaxy. Warped textural drones. Sounds like the alien abduction you dreamed about when you were twelve.

Edition of 75, mine came compliments of the excellent Tomentosa, also available to stream in full and grab over at the Chemical Tapes Bandcamp.

Atlantis - The Institute Of Technology

Fruitful new research from the folks at Chemical Tapes, with The Institute of Technology, from Atlantis. Channeling mid nineties space obsessed ultra clean ambient, nine tracks blip and bleep their way from simple repetitive loops into full, complex, melodic compositions. Things here sound cosmic, and yet somehow simultaneously sub-aquatic. Mid tempo arpeggiated miniatures pace expansive synth notes drenched in heavy sustain that unfurl around the ear of the listener with monumental patience. Bits of mid tempo rhythm delivered via a mix of reverberating glitch. Wonderful variety, highly accessible, beautiful tracks. Sounds like a galaxy of space stations singing together.

High end production, minimalist design on this edition of 75. Digital download included. Begin reasearch immediately at Chemical Tapes.
