Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Lol Coxhill & Morgan Fisher - Slow Music (1980)

Beautiful, shimmering ambient sounds for sunny days. Real ones know that this type of stuff + black metal used to be this blog's bread and butter.

Years ago, a couple of old friends of mine dated for a few months, and when he met her dad, they shook hands then stood around not saying anything until her dad looked up at the sky and said, thoughtfully, "those... sure are some... slow moving clouds." Still makes me laugh. (This is a reference to the last song on this album.)

Track listing:

1. The Breathing Earth

2. The Beauty of Clay

3. Kalimba Petals

4. Waterglide

5. Photosynthesis

Lol Coxhill & Morgan Fisher - Slow Music (1980)

Experimental ambient pieces constructed by Morgan Fisher via deconstructing, layering, sampling, and otherwise processing recordings of saxophonist Lol Coxhill. As of writing this, I've been working on a succession of extremely complex projects all day, and while I'm finding Slow Music's scattered, warped sensibility extremely relatable, I just don't have the capacity to put any effort into this post, so the end.

Track listing:

1. Que en paz descanse

2. Flotsam

3. Vase

4. Jetsam

5. Matt Finish

6. Slow Music

7. Pretty Little Girl
