Night Of Visions, the ominous sounds of a life altering experience
December 24, 2015 2:50 PM   Subscribe

Since he started Akkord (s/t album playlist) with Synkro, Liam Blackburn has been in search of a sound. His last few solo releases skirted past drum & bass through to techno, ambient, IDM and, with 2013's excellent Storm, some sort of ultra-hi-tech jungle.... [H]e's re-emerging as Ancestral Voices on the increasingly out-there label Samurai Horo....
The debut album for Blackburn's new alias is "yawning chords, complex drum patterns and existential dread," directly inspired by his mind-expanding, life-altering experiences on Machu Picchu and in the Amazon, and you can hear all of Night Of Visions on Bandcamp.

If you dig this, flip through the rest of Samurai's catalog. They have over 70 releases on Bandcamp now, which is wonderful and awful (if you're trying to be selective).

This hits you in a deep place. I'm digging it.

This is pretty interesting. Bought it. May have to poke at some other stuff on the label, too. Thanks!

I've been really into Synkro's new album but I didn't know this existed - this is great!

the ASC album (and EP) on Samurai that came out this year are fantastic. RIYL Reload (Global Communication)'s "A Collection of Short Stories".

There's also a podcast for the Grey Area sound, which encompasses some of the stuff on Samurai.
