Dream Weapons present: (DIS)COMFORT ZONE C90

https://yadi.sk/d/CJsGToHLiLmKQA

A further out and sonically more challenging version of my largely academic or modern classical (Un)Modern-mix. Packed with intriguing soundscapes and strange beauty galore but darker, more twisted and dissonant than its predecessor. All that aside I still tried to include only works that had a seductive or inviting quality to them. Anyone reading this has got to be at least a little bit musically adventurous - so this could be just a walk in the soundpark for some of you -Moahaha

  1. Thanks once again for a brilliant mix. This is pure comfort zone to me, coincidentally I am totally into this kind of music at the moment. Maybe spring came to early or I am just strange...who am I to decide?

    1. Ah thanks for that comment Till. Whenever "this" kind of music stands out to me - or just works somehow* its either/both/often about some satisfactory «brain-tingling» or a very physical reaction... much like the deep bass rumbles can get inside of you at a concert. Well, that’s me but I’m glad this selection in particular can resonate with another listener.

      *quite unlike my more emotional happy/sad and everything in between-response to my folk & oldies etc-shares.

  2. Yes,it has a similar effect on me. this music is adventurous and surprising, it is not shouting "love me!" to the listener, it is demanding something in a good way. It is not fitting in any pattern or
    algorithm.
    That is why I like it

    1. Yeah I think Colleen Clyne's "spoken poetry-beauty warning" works well as an apt introduction of sorts:

      Beware the beauty
      Look beyond the fluttering wings
      Beyond the relentless display
      Beyond the upheaval
      Wind flickering the (...?)
      Of the beautiful one
      In all guises
      It throws itself at you
      With stark deliberation...

      -something like that

  3. Fantastic! As usual, this is amazing. Did you get Rocky Mountains from Wendy's Lost Scores cd's?

    1. Thanks! - much appreciated & also glad to hear from you D. Christie. No, I don't own the "Rediscovering Lost Scores", and the version there is only 1:47 long. I got this one from the original (and never rereleased) 1980-LP. Although far more known than what we usually present here - not many has actually heard it, seemingly because of Kubrick estate issues. Plus in this context I think it ominously sort of gently forewarns the listener.
