Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from November 18, 2021 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.

Now unlike Nicolai's other label (last week's Edipan), and rather unusually, Gemelli is a label of both library music and original soundtrack music. 1st six records of the night are all OSTs

the major players on this label are Nicolai, Morricone, and Egisto Macchi, and they really seem to use it to work out some very challenging and abstract ideas. on the whole, honestly one of the most challenging library catalogs out there
