New Stuff

I've started some new blogs for stuff I used to post here. Book covers will now be at Bookwig and screenshots and related ephemera will be at Haunted VHS. I've also started a Tumblr thing which is more of an image/sound free association on the theme of arcane knowledge called Keys to the Citadel. The Ghost of the Weed Garden will continue to feature Psychedelic Freak-Outs & Horror-tronics

The Ghost of the Weed Garden and Keys to the Citadel are both on SoundCloud now too.

 

Cosmic Cauldron

“We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” ― H.P.

Electronic Phantasmagoria 2

Another collection of commercially unavailable electronic soundtracks from the 60s and 70s. All from sleazy horror/occult films. They were ripped from the audio tracks then mixed into a one hour long phantasmagoric brainscape. Most of these films didn't make it to DVD, so expect all the hiss, crackle, sound drop outs, distortion, abrupt editing that comes with vintage VHS.

Electronic Phantasmagoria

A collection of commercially unavailable electronic soundtracks from the 60s and 70s. All taken from low budget sleazy horror films. I ripped my favourite pieces of Moog madness from the audio tracks then mixed them together into a one hour long phantasmagoric soundscape.

None of these pieces of music have ever seen an official release. 

As these are ripped from the audio track the sound quality varies. Expect some hiss, crackle, sound drop outs, distortion, abrupt editing and freaky dialogue.

Psychedelic Witchcraft

Just in time for your Winter Solstice celebrations, a cauldron filled with ancient psychedelic incantations and pagan folk rituals. Expect to find full on psychedelic rock wig-outs, magickal acid folk and a generous helping of wibbly electronic vibrations. The potion is finished off with a sprinkling of TV and film sound samples.

Listen on Mixcloud below or download the MP3 here.
The MP3 is at 128kbps for reasons of technical hocus pocus. If I manage to sort out a 320kbps version I post it here.
