Long Wave: Only Silver Tarnishes to Black

Suspending time and immersing the listener in widescreen sound. A sonic mission from the minds that brought you Touch.

“Fantasy is silver and scarlet,
indigo and azure, obsidian veined
with gold and lapis lazuli.
Reality is plywood and plastic,
done up in mud brown and olive drab.
Fantasy tastes of habaneros
and honey, cinnamon and cloves,
rare red meat
and wines as sweet as summer.
Reality is beans and tofu,
and ashes at the end.”

From “Obsidian” by Glenn Adamson in materialintelligencemag.org
