Orb Gettarr
An eclectic blend of ambient, dark ambient, new age, progressive, acoustic, avante garde, film music, sound track, and what I like to call 'lucid techno'...
Some of it even defies hard-line classification, really- let's call it 'Orb-ish', and leave it at that...
I have invented a new category which I call 'Lucid Techno' (taking conventional techno stylings to the next level)...
Star Drops
Slow description of the celestial mechanics of the Cosmos- or, to quote Robert Plant in 'The Song Remains the Same': "It's like there's all this Cosmic Energy- and everybody's going 'Bang! Yeah!!'"
