Spoken word: Do not go gentle into that good night
by Dylan Thomas

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

"Carefully selected four hours of music from the Ukrainian digital label GV Sound invite the listener into the world, full of the most varied of images and stories. Each track is a unique vision of a single face of the world. Focusing on ambient music, a compilation "The Times" creates maximum space for the listener and works like the documentary footage which slowly give way, giving all the details to consider this or that picture of the situation, emotion or concept.
At the three parts of the collection are a lot of projects from around the world that build up the ambient music of various kinds - from the dark and mystical ritual, to light New Age and meditative drones. Each track - a small galaxy, a spiral which measured rotate against infinity. It is difficult to predict whether each subsequent history of emotional and exciting, or a detached listener Irradiating the radiation fluxes, because the spectrum covered by the state is very broad. This compilation - a leisurely journey to where between the smallest divisions begins the face of Eternity."

We Are All Ghosts is a small non-commercial netlabel based in Motherwell, Scotland; that specialises in ambient electronic soundscapes but is open to other styles of music.

For the record...
We are not associated with the band "We Are All Ghosts" nor are we connected with the Ghosts Collective or their tumblr.
Neither are we named after the short story by Peter Darbyshire published in Innsmouth Press... although we would recommend it... or named after the Daphne du Maurier quote...
"We are all ghosts of yesterday, and the phantom of tomorrow awaits us alike in sunshine or in shadow, dimly perceived at times, never entirely lost."
...although it is a cracker of a quote.
The inspiration for the name came from the song "plough the tide" by Mender and I am grateful to Ash for such a great song.

Gimu & Jii Music - Has Never Been

Gimu & Jii-Music ‎-- Has Never Been
Label: Solanic ‎-- SC-DA007
Format: 7 × File, MP3, Album, 320 kbps
Country: Belarus
Released: 12 Mar 2013
Genre: Electronic
Style: Ambient, IDM, Industrial
Photography and design by Andrei Solaris
Mastered by Anatoly Grinberg (aka Tokee)

The "Has Never Been" album is composed and produced by long time Soundcloud friends, Gilmar Monte & Jiibay Shadow Dancer.
Gilmar Monte (aka Gimu), a Brazilian sound designer of drone ambient soundscapes, were the basis for each of the tracks found on this album.
Jiibay Shadow Dancer (aka Jii-Music), a Native American sound designer, built around each to create the theme of a tribal or ritual experience with a "story-telling" approach, as to pushing a painting into existence.
As each of the sound elements were layered into the tracks, Gimu soon discovered another direction for his music after listening to the first completed track. Both Jiibay and Gimu were left sitting speechless; continuing on to complete this seven track album. They both will also continue the journey to compose future music projects together.

SOLANIC is a electronic music and visual art netlabel established in 2011 by Andrei Solaris dealing with all kinds of visual art and for all kinds of electronic experiments including IDM, electronica, post-industrial, etc.

Quiet Sun - Flicker and Fade EP

Quiet Sun - Flicker and Fade EP
Label: Totokoko
Released: 05 January 2013

"Flicker & Fade is the second release from UK producer Quiet Sun (aka Jack Hyde), following his 'Three Colors White' EP last summer. Here again he ventures into a dreamworld of spacious sonics and ticking beats, making the electronic almost seem like living and breathing life-forms..."

"Flicker and Fade is my second EP, following the release of 'Three Colours White' in 2012. This is a project I've pursued whilst studying at university. The EP was made mostly with samples that were cut and manipulated to a desired effect. The intention was to create something textured and atmospheric." Quiet Sun

Totokokolabel; Saitama, Japan. Warm,cold,soft,shine,happy.
