Ready Country Nimbus

An incredible ambient record. John Fahey meets Music For Airports. Immediate atmosphere. A bucolic fable in sound.

Falling with a 1000 Stars and other wonders from the House of Albion

My favorite Dylan Carlson release. The Earth frontman animates ancient melodies with his signature fuzz tone.
