Dream Weapons present: POLLINATION C90 by Crazy Monkey

Crazy Monkey, whom I collaborated with on Gatto Nero Di Notte, has compiled a guest mix, and it’s a lovely one. 

Btw: For something like three or four years by now, every second and fourth Wedensday (at 07:00 pm, local time) each month, we have a 90 minute spot on Radio AlHara. Today Pollination fills those ninety minutes. Our compilations are a nice fit, and it's a great thing to be a part of. I just occurred to me that I should remember to mention it every once in a while.

About the mix in CM's own poetic words:

For us, inhabitants of the far south, the end of the cold season marks a very important time of year, turning the silvery stained skies into a glowing intense blue, and with that, life reappears proud of its incomparable beauty. This compilation was born to honor this eternal cycle, and thus accompany the emergence of the new living beings that adorn our surroundings, reciting to us the eternal verses of nature. 

As a scientist but also as a conscious human, observing and caring for nature has been a part of my life since early childhood, and that's what I want to capture in this selection of sounds to share with those who also feel that a whisper from the forest or a gentle caress from the ocean are things worth highlighting -Crazy Monkey

Dream Weapons present: EXOPLANETARY MISSION C90

Analogue vintage electronic music for you. Warm as toast and cold as marble. A unique musical language and way of shaping melodies that I only find within these soundscapes - and mainly from this era (these are all 1974-1984*). I hardly know anyone in real life that share my passion for this type of music. So I’m glad you’ve warmly welcomed these mixes - seemingly about as much as every other musical hang-up of mine. Try it. A total trip from start to finish! -Moahaha

The Flying Zoo & Dream Weapons present: GATTO NERO DI NOTTE C90

It’s my great honor and pleasure to introduce Crazy Monkey - who runs two excellent music blogs: The Flying Zoo and Distorted Cortex - with this, our first (but not the last) collaboration together. As I had learned about his current musical passions, I suggested we compiled a Library-mix together. It made for a perfect starting point that got even better when we allowed ourselves a more inclusive approach. The end result is the best imagined Giallo/Horror soundtrack ever made! Beauty and grooves that glow in the dark.

-Welcome to these almost forgotten worlds of mystery and suspense where you can explore the secret passages that lead to the unknown, walking the fine line that separates life from transmutation. A journey into the past that leads us to accept the ephemeral nature of human existence, transformed into sounds that will never return -Crazy Monkey (♒︎)  & Moahaha (♌︎)

Dream Weapons present: NOTHING TO FEAR C60

… but fear itself. But apart from the title, Nothing to Fear isn’t inspired by this famous quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inauguration speech. I undertook the task of compiling an hour of tunes that could resemble a collection of horror/giallo score music - while using tracks that aren’t from such films. In fact only two of the songs are lifted from a soundtrack at all. 

The eerie beauty of themes composed for vintage horror movies has always held a special place in my music loving heart. While taken out of their visual context, the melodies tend to radiate dreamy melancholy and sadness, rather than something truly sinister. Contemporary scores rarely give me anything, but music seemingly inspired by the aforementioned «golden age» is still being made. So the lion’s share of bands and artists featured, are actually from today’s era. 

In a nutshell, my Halloween-mix comes a little early this year -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: RIDERS AND WANDERERS C60

 

A lot of rhythmic/percussive music feels like being taken on a ride, and when the music quiets down or loosen up - it’s like they’re wandering along. And I love a lot of tunes that feature these qualities. Don’t we all? As you might have guessed: here’s another «East meets West» sort of album containing exactly what the title says.

-I actually got couple of C90’s ready that I have to hold on to for a little while. I wouldn’t want to keep you waiting to too long, so I threw this together from a long list of Oriental Jazz and that sort of stuff. Actually I don’t think I ever spent less time compiling a mix than with this. But it’s still sixteen great tunes that go really well together. Enjoy! -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: A TRIP TO THE GARDEN C90

A strange trip to a strange garden. Or maybe someone’s tripping in a garden. Who knows. Either way it’s a sort of east meets west - and south, far in far out, psychedelic mix.

Dream Weapons present: THE TWIN EARTH C60

 

 -the Twin Earth is just me compiling in easy mode. Meaning another hour of Soul Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Latin Jazz etc...  Music recorded in between 1969-1981 that seamlessly grooves along from one tune to the next. Each new track has something unique to offer but I also feel that they are somewhat unified. Super likable soundscapes of the sort that I’m pretty much always in the mood for. There’s simply an astounding amount of unheard gems (primarily) from the seventies in these genres for me to choose from. Yes, I know I’ve said this before, but that's because it’s true -Moahaha 

Btw: Life is even more complicated than I am used to (but I'm good), and I'm not really in a "music discovery mode" nowadays. Also I have less time to make these mixes as well. Every time I've shared a mix lately, I've been thinking that it will take (quite) a while until I come up with a next one. This time it's no different. But I've been wrong many times before, so who knows:)

Dream Weapons present: DEEP INSIDE A DREAM C90

We're falling down the rabbit hole. Transporting you into a wonderfully (and troublingly) surreal state. Sweet dreams gently interrupted by waves of unease. Like an adventure taking place inside of your subconscious. Or like someone is trying to tell you a half-remembered tale. A «can’t put my finger on it» sort of vague concept for a trip through the motions. Sounds fun doesn’t it? -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: FLOWERS IN MY GARDEN C60

Flowers in My Garden features ethereal folk, folk rock and pop recorded sometime between 1968 to 1983. Some self released loner folk and demos to thorougly arranged and sophisticated studio recordings. But I think there’s a dense atmosphere and a haunting quality to everything here. Unheard or forgotten songs of a certain beauty forever lost. I wanted the cover art to match its mysterious and enchanting content, but I see now that it ended up resembling a cheap yellowback. I think the painting I used is very nice though:) -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: THE TREE HUGGERS C90

 

 

Reading about the origins of the term «tree hugger», I ended up compiling a tribute of sorts to the Chipko Movement in India*. Speaking in musical terms, it’s ninety minutes of instrumental acoustic «eastern-sounding world-vibes» of light and dark. A celebration of the good in mankind while mourning the evil deeds of the wicked, simultaneously. But that’s just me and how I tend to think about these things, I suppose. Music for both meditation and contemplation -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: SILENT AS THE GRAVE C60

 

 

What do you know it seems I had time for one more mix this month after all! While collecting songs for Sounds in the Night I sort of made an additional soundtrack-like mix without really noticing. These 23 tunes are selected from a long list of instrumentals that were too moody to fit in between the songs on my slightly more festive Halloween mix, posted earlier this month. Silent as the Grave is filled with the wonderfully eerie melodies that has made me fall in love with 1960-1980’s horror/giallo moviescores moreso than the actual horror/giallo movies of the era (sorry moviebuffs). To me music doesn’t get more beautiful than this. At least not right now while typing and listening through before posting  -Moahaha

 

Btw: Half the selection is actually Library/Production Music. And as long as the mood felt right, I haven’t taken into consideration what kind of movie genre the films these tracks were lifted from. But as you can see just by looking at the titles, they are primarily from the correct genres anyway.

Dream Weapons present: SOUNDS IN THE NIGHT C60

Well hello darkness, my old friend. A spooky All Hallow’s Eve-mix that doesn’t set out to actually scare you. Haunting in a comforting sort of way, and more like watching a vintage horror movie that’s not genuinely frightening to us anymore. Quite a few truly wonderful songs here. A little doom and gloom for the whole family to enjoy -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: BARE HANDS C60

Pretty, old, folk, songs. Autumnal music. There’s still wonderful folk music being made and released. But the sound and the lyricism of these songs presented here, feel like a thing of the past. Our voices seem to have lost its wide-eyed innocence on the way from then up till now. Understandable I suppose, but I wish it wasn’t so. Enough of that. Our garden abounds with fruit and vegetables, and we’ve gathered baskets full of mushrooms. Autumn is the season of beautiful colors and my favorite time of year! -Moahaha

Here’s another hour of mostly laidback 1970’s jazz grooves. Spiritual, funky, eastern tinged, electrified, psychedelic etc... Yes, most of you should know this part of me by now.

Dream Weapons present: THE HOT SPACE C60

 

The concept of space in music is often associated with cold and desolate electronic soundscapes. However The Hot Space calls for far jazzier vibes. More specifically a 1970’s jazzgroove that's electrified with Moogs & stuff. By now you know I love this kind of stuff, and I will never grow tired of discovering yet another unheard gem from that time period. It feels like home somehow. La Vittima is lifted from an Italian giallo and Earl is from a Blaxploitation movie (plus a Library Music trio of tunes) - and I think the remaining tracks would have worked just as well in some movie really -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: SORCERER C60

Soft focus aside, here at Dream Weapons we love the strange and eerie just as much. Sometimes even more. A mysterious and seductive kind of strange filled with beauty and suspense that is. The music presented on Sorcerer isn’t really as far out as that crazy-ass shaman featured on the cover suggests. I simply had to make use that one-of-a-kind-painting at some point. I'm trying to recapture the feel and mode of a hauntingly surreal ghost story that I only vaguely remember. Or maybe it actually happened. I'm not certain -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: BITE THE DUST C60

I was sick for about half of March, and in that period I’ve almost finished eight mixtapes (including Mothers & Daughters and The Shrine). So that’s the reason why I’ve been on a roll here lately. 

-Anyway I wanted to collect some songs for you that grooves really deep and hard. The cover kind of look a like a silly disaster movie poster or something like that, doesn’t it? Bite the Dust does have a soundtrack-feel, but perhaps in a more biker movie way. Mainly just tons of left field semi-psychedelic bops and bangers - that sometimes even rocks! A fun and entertaining mix I think. Like Cosmic Carpet Ride or The Wild Ones on steroids -Moahaha

Brw: I noticed I've titled this mix (Bite the Dust) in the "album artist" section and not "album". Hopefully you can easily add the title in the correct place yourself.

Dream Weapons present: WE’RE OUT OF SPACE C90

 

I don't know how well I succeeded but my intention was for the cover art to resemble my favorite Cosmic Jokers, Harmonia and Cluster-albums. I've compiled a sort of «Fahren, fahren, fahren auf der Milchstraße» mix of kosmische unterhaltung. Electronic music, but in a warm and playful way. For the most part -Moahaha
