Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from January 21, 2021 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Incredible. You've played music from this Heldon before here, right?
Avatar 8:55pm
northguineahills:

Ok, back, had to order food for pickup (I should eat once a day, right?)

the JA Caesar track was "Tensei Tan", or reincarnation of Tan" Some is lost in translation on my part, but, I believe it's either an old Tao deity or an alter. The album comes close to Border Pilgrimage song (sorry, my kanji Japanese sucks).
