The sleeve recommends playing this in a quiet room at moderate volume and unbelievably the gobs in the office are closed allowing me to absorb the droneage......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...................................bliss.................................... I was just about to reach Zion/Nirvana when Business lady walks by and starts making some rustling. What that girl needs is a good smacked bottom... Anyway back into the zone then. Aye this is fine quality slowly evolving minimal gear that certainly will appeal to Eleh followers, Tongues of Mount Meru etc. So on the heavier tonal end of the spectrum and unlike a lot of the fluffy gear that's floating around at the moment. Pale Blue Sky take control of the flip with some super chilled ambient tones to get lost in. This one really creeps up nice. Mastered by Pete Swanson and spins at 45RPM, edition of 400 copies.

Working together, but differently. Clear Of, shows Cloaked Light working within a new mode; an expanded temporal sensitivity through field recording and discrete static chords. Slow movement-revealing growth and decay at the subtlest thresholds; disappearing music with a heavy presence, a shifting sense of space, not in the room, but of the room. Pale Blue Sky's Someday, Sometime approaches a similar expansion of perception and unobscuring blur. Through tape manipulation, the inner workings of tonal relationships are placed under focus; extending time to reveal new moments; widening the view. Distorting to understand; a reorienting pause. Originally conceived to coincide with the Cloaked Light / Pale Blue Sky California tour with Pedestrian Deposit, Infinite Body, Earn, and Mirror to Mirror in January 2010; a testament to a common point and its different trajectories. Approaching the possibility. Mastered by Pete Swanson; cut at 45 rpm. In an edition of 400 copies with glossy jackets and inner sleeves.
