We in Klondike are independent reviewers; however we are not critics, as the critics pen is so often laced with venom. To quote William Blake: 'The sting of the honey bee is the artists jealousy.' Here in Klondike we make honey with no thought to sting; we consider ourselves Mother Nature's creations and consequently heed her words of wisdom "If one has nothing constructive to say, say nothing at all."
Welcome to “The Otherness”! Here you will find interviews with artists, label owners, researchers and leading philosophical thinkers on the fringes of science and culture. There will also be reviews on both music and film. Beyond the mainstream, this is where we unashamedly go off reservation. Here also lives “The cultist” writing exclusively for Psilowave on subjects as far out as spirituality, phenomena and psychedelia!
“The cost of sanity in this society, is a certain level of alienation”

Side one - 'Phase In' starts with the track 'Love Without Sound' (2'55") written by Delia Derbyshire and David Vorhaus, after a burst of dreamy vocals what sounds intermittently like toads singing and crickets chirping to the accompaniment of a heavy heart beat
Side A - 'Dunroamin'' begins with a bus conductors ringing of the bell and the vehicle pulling away. A beautiful intro with piano like synth lines and what sounds like vibraphone before breaking into a vocal magically invoking a journey with some warm fiddle playing.
So it seems strange that 'want to order' should be labeled as various mental 'disorders', obsessive compulsive disorder; a fear of the trauma, and an attempt at correction, of the chaos of one childhood perhaps? Alternately the schizophrenic in his natural mental state before medication makes patterns out of data, often making simplistic links between different pieces of information such events and/or systems, He lives on the edge of Friedrich Nietzsche's [1844-1900 AD] abyss.
Side one starts with the eponymous 'Ignition of the Sun' modulating and phasing in and out until what sounds like a generator warming up comes into full force, the eerie sound of great distances travelled...
Welcome to Notes from the Cultist! Your roadmap for navigating the trails of the fringe. Here at The Cultist HQ, our aim is to bring you miscellaneous brain candy on the anomalous, speculations on the weird and news items for scholars of esoterica. So... How very curious, a record store which also contemplates the Isness of existence and the strangeness of “The Otherness”… Recruited by Psilowave and allocated a peculiar arena in which to ponder the mysterious and forgotten. The Cultist transmissions will be at you when they at you, but the aim is to drop a regular monthly ramble off the reservation.
