I've posted about this bandcamp page before and thought it more than deserved yet more attention. My personal interest here lies with the Cosmic Analogue Ensemble (CAE) Abstract Cinematic soundwaves, an intriguing collection of samples and recorded live instruments - "Analogue for the 21st Century." It was founded by Charif Megarbane of the band Heroes & Villains, up until now I thought it was a 4 or 5 piece collective that simply jammed out together (listen to Trans-Mara-Express and you'll see why) But no...It's one very talented man, who's releases are the result of years spent collecting sounds and improvised recordings that he's played around the world on various analogue equipment. The recordings are fuzzy and gritty but have soul and a genuine rawness that you don't hear much of anymore (the genuine part, it's replicated a lot) You might not think it's all that original when you first hear it but involve yourself, be immersed and then you'll learn how special and diverse the music is. Enjoy!
