Astral Projection Radio Show

Astral Projection will broadcast its first show this monday November 24 from 10:30-12:00am.
In the days of modern technology there are many conveniences and luxuries, but it also can be alienating and desensitizing. There is a need for contemplation, a return to the senses, and of exploring the mind's eye. Astral Projection takes the psychedelic potentials of the avant-garde, black metal, doom, noise, and drone, and combines it with the phantom mysticism of radio as the base for amplification of the mind and cosmic ritual.
Come listen and travel to higher realms and to the depths of your imagination!

Here's the playlist for the first show, so you get the idea...
1. Sunn O))) - Sin Nanna
2. Sunn O))) - It Took The Night To Believe
3. Ryoji Ikeda - C7:: Continuum
4. Phil Niblock - Parker's Altered Mood
5. Menace Ruine - Process of Bestialization
6. Iannis Xenakis - Rebonds II.
7. Tony Conrad - 4 Violins
8. Thorr's Hammer - Troll
9. Fushitsusha - Staring At A Point In Time, Memorizing Vowing Never To Return
10. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
11. Bone Awl - Chimney
12. Jean-Francois Laporte - Mantra
13. The Swans - I Am The Sun
