This mix is pretty intense. I took all of my weird NHI-related feelings & crammed them into this mix, and it gives me an uncanny feeling even just thinking about it. The title combines a D&D alignment with Asimov's "Foundation," and it refers to my friend's astral sci-fi universe in a way that I'm not entirely clear on. I have strange NHI- & clairaudience-related associations with all of these tracks. Svarog's "Aglar" is a gloriously soaring thing, and the title actually means "glory" in Sindrain (an Tolkienian Elvish language). "Space Travel" eschews any attempt at musicality for just doing weird stuff to your head. And the transition from the horror-movie suspense of "Nifelheim" to the black-hole drop of "Ingrame" is something you can feel in your guts. If you make it through to the end of "Ocher System #3" without turning the volume down or off, I'm honestly impressed. The cover art is a cyber-black-hole-dharma-wheel kind of thing. Have a nice day!
