Inner-space sounds, mystic psych for the Third Ear
The above quote comes from a description for Prana Crafter (aka William Sol) on Facebook, but it could just as easily apply to the mix he made for us! Two hours of drone, psych, krautrock and RIO selections – plenty of mysticism to be found within!
Some really nice heavy stuff from Suzuki Junzo, God and Hair, and Bart de Paepe, Myrrors, and then some choice spacey psych stuff and one of the most raw Hendrix tracks I’ve heard, him doing ‘born under a bad sign’ all instrumental
Prana Crafter’s most recent release is Bodhi Cheetah’s Choice (out on Beyond Beyond is Beyond label) and he also put out records on Reverb Worship, Deep Water Acres and Eiderdown.
