Stars Planets Dust Me

I've posted some songs and remixes by A Mountain Of One before including a really sultry Richard Norris remix of Bones. Now they have returned with their first album in a decade, trailed by a 12" single with two songs, Custards Last Stand and Stars Planets Dust Me. They are a kind of sky- kissing, blissed out, ambient- folk, synth music for a future world. Listen to this, to the twinkling melody topline, the bubbling synth sounds, the padded drums and the whispered vocoder vox, the overall feeling of drifting high above the ground, surfing on warm currents, and tell me that for a few minutes life didn't feel infinitely better. 


Apparently there are dub reworks by Dennis Bovell to follow as well as some Richard Norris ambient remixes. Appetite fully whetted.

Has that smooth LA 80's synth sound that I was all about a few years ago. Kinda lovin it!

Pretty sure this blog is where I picked up the Time & Space Machine remix of Mountain of One's Ride, which made it onto my last compilation. Which is a signal honour, so thanks for that gift
