HOMEMADE LOFI PSYCH --- WHERE TO START?





"There is so much great music here..." WHERE TO START???

I recommend to
start with the HLFP-Samplers (especially HLFP 04).
Here you will come to know many of the bands/musicians featured in this blog. If you like what you hear, you may check out more of their music later on.
(You may also click on the picture on the sidebar and you will find the original post with download links.)

There is also a "FOCUS ON..." section. Here you will find albums that imo are absolutely great (***** = "five-stars-recordings") and that are essential listening and strongly recommended for download.


I TRY to RE-UP some stuff that has been down from time to

time, but I still don't have enough time to

listen to/post much new stuff.

Sorry!

IMPRESSUM: see here!

If you downloaded the fifth homemade-lofi-psych sampler SPACE IS STILL THE PLACE (HLFP 05), you already will know JEWEL YEN.
The two long tracks featured here, entitled "Hall Full of Jewelry", are in fact a little bit more new-agey/trancey than the song on HLFP, especially the second track, "B".

Q: Anything that you think is interesting, that you'd like to inform the blog readers about...
A: A & B on HFOJ were done live in one take on particularly busy days which lead to quite a few occasions of I just letting the sounds run on for some repetitive times while I would answer phone calls, answer the door, help bring in groceries, tell people not to slam the door shut, etc. ... also, I'm a big fan of feedback and all that, so let I n I know what you think, my email's on my myspace, and like I mentioned be4, I gots a tons more of recordings/releases, so yeah, just let me know... stayed tuned and stay human ...
