The Spirit World: This month’s Spectral Transmission slips quietly through the slumbering city streets listening to intense whispered tarmac dreams and the quiet concrete mumbles.
“I stood here, and saw before me the unutterable, the unthinkable gulf that yawns profound between two worlds, the world of matter and the world of spirit; I saw the great empty deep stretch dim before me, and in that instant a bridge of light leapt from the earth to the unknown shore, and the abyss was spanned.”

This month’s show features tracks from the newest member of the Spirit of Gravity Ascsoms, from his new album “Featherteeth”, two tracks from a new album by Ghost Flight and finally a lengthy improvisation from Hassni Malik and Nicholas Langley’s digitally re-issued cassette from 10 years ago, plus Spectral Transmissions present Transmission  #09: Lord of Misrule

A new release from Spirit of Gravity is out now – Spherical Dancefloor by McCloud.
McCloud – otherwise Geoff Cheesemaster – presents a three-track mini-album of intense and introspective minimalism. Partly recorded live, it packs a scratchy rhythmic punch.
It all started when he bought a drum machine. “Two years on, the sounds I had inside finally came out of my mind, down through my arms and into my kit” he says, “I’ve been performing these two pieces for the last few shows and enjoying them very much. Each one is different.”

The album can be downloaded or streamed here: spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/spherical-dancehall
