SINOIA CAVES Beyond The Black Rainbow (2014 US Limited
Subscriber Edition 7-track LP pressed on Heavyweight Smokey Pink
Vinyl - Posited as a 'lost film' of the 1980s, Panos
Cosmatos' 'Beyond The Black Rainbow' is inspired by classic
dystopian fiction and the obscure SF movies one used to see
lining the shelves of the local video store. Created by Sinoia
Caves, the ongoing project of Jeremy Schmidt, a disciple of the
long-form cosmic synthesizersoundscape, and member of
Canadian psych-and-prog-spiritual pioneers Black Mountain, the
soundtrack is many things: haunting, uncompromising, intense –
but is always a fascinating listen. Incorporating touchstone
elements such as mellotron choirs, glacial analogue synthesizer
pads and arpeggiators, Schmidt artfully navigates the various
sonic sensibilities of the 70s-80s genre aesthetic. The heavy duty
gatefold picture sleeve comes with an obi-strip displaying release
notes and retains its opened original shrinkwrap while the vinyl
looks barely played DW029.5) **Limited to 300 Copies
