Style: Experimental Ambient

Format: LP
Label: Glass Modern

Year: 2021

Condition: M/M sealed

SFT is one of my favourite originators of experimental ambient. Longtime followers of the bin know how much I praise his works together with Colin Lloyd Tucker. Be it the Deux Filles records or pieces they recorded as Jeremy's Secret - all gold (please restore this dumb and shiny placeholder with something you hold dear). Shadow Farming is no exception and getting a lot of love here. Dropping found sounds in ambient zones with the occasional signpost towards pop on the horizon. Of course they turn left left before reaching Luxemburg. May peace prevail on earth!

What the hell did the people at Marlboro (yes the stupid cowboy ciggies) think when they teamed up with Virgin to establish a label and sign someone so gentle and esoteric like Andreas von Wangenheim? Change the whole cowboy image by releasing New Age music??

Whatever they thought - it's just fantastic that they released these wonderful songs. Calling it "all killer, no filler" doesn't really fit the New Age vibe, huh? But hey it's Marlboro :)  and it's shotgun recommended! And you might recognize one of the key tracks from my Dezember mix for testpressing from a few years ago.

How would someone have a python on the cover to an album called cobra? Yes weird but in the end I don't give a damn and I guess most of the Fusion listeners wouldn't give a damn that this record has been gloriously sampled by Luke Vibert, who made a fantastic Acid Disco track from it. But you might be happy to hear that this dude has taste and that he sampled some fantastic stuff ;) This copy has audible scratches the beginning of each side. The hits are not affected and a clean CD-r is included.

Hottest vocoder boogie from Kassel, known for the Documenta and one of the nicest record store owners on earth. Not really known for tightest jams like these.

I don't like these kind of lines -> but it's almost NM with from that scuff between B2 and B3 that creates light background clicks for a couple of rounds in the ballad B3. The good tracks are not affected of course... Nevertheless I'll include a nice rip for you.
