This album follows the trajectory of a messy life from birth, through highs and lows, and ultimately into a strange place. It's a story, the autobiography of a shattered soul. Many genres of electronic music meet in this album, and the vocal element is at times both dark and whimsical.

The Hush is a 45-minute ambient soundscape of a darker nature than Emanate (wh038). This is an extended voyage, perhaps experienced from within the engine room of an intergalactic vessel. A throbbing, soporific bass is punctuated by echoing metallic sounds, and the auditory space is sometimes graced by mellow but alien melodies and harmonic drones.

Manatee is a 45-minute ambient soundscape which give the feeling of sleeping outdoors under the stars, on a balmy southern Summer night. Electronic and instrumental sounds are blended with field recordings in a relaxing continuum with no dissonance, shocks or surprises.

The title of Pelicagnosis is no empty play on words. These four tracks do venture quite some distance into the realm of gnosis. Here is a blend of ambient sounds with addition of guitar, vocals, and other instruments, resulting in a feast for the ears.

Mystified has offered "Free Passage" and you are welcome to come along. This densely atmospheric 20-minute ambient journey has a pronounced forward momentum, and there's no telling where you will end up at the end of this trip.

mayfairgrin's "Spider and the Moon" is a 31-minute composition which carries the listener on a textural tour through a varied soundscape. The strength of this work is the skillful use of processed acoustic instruments (djembe, bowed guitar, environmental sounds) woven into a richly illustrative tapestry that engages the mind without overstimulating it.

An artistic exploration of a shattered mind. With equal parts darkness and whimsy, these compositions meander through the corridors of the mind with a music that at times seems like lullabyes or serenades, and at other times like mockery and deconstruction.

Here's another Sci-Fi themed album by Akashic Crow's Nest. This time the concept centers on the experiences of a miner/prospector in a remote and hostile off-world mining colony.

Resonant atmospherics and sultry droning themes drift on a wind of gusting low-end breezes. Thomas Park, aka Mystified, continues to bless Webbed Hand with his high-quality creations.

Haunted textures of sound are served forth in classic Djinnestan style in this unexpected EP release. Do ghosts relive their dying moments? Do they have unfinished business, or messages for the living?

Much like Djinnestan's shorter works, this 74-minute piece is subtle and enchanted. As if in a dream you find yourself strolling in a fairytale forest, dark and misty, peopled by the figments of childhood imaginings.

Tribe of Astronauts' "Rain 1" is a pleasing wash of white noises, cycling in slow rhythms. Waxing and waning brushstrokes of static, rumbles, and other obscure sounds lull the mind into a deep and peaceful state.

Skidbladni is a second, shorter release by Akashic Crow's Nest. The concept here is dream logic, temporal dislocation, and auditory hallucination.

Purr is a 76 minute ambient track intended to be played at low volume as background ambience, preferably as you go to sleep. It generates a warm and cozy feeling, like having a cat purring next to your head.

Tree Helicopter's first contribution to the Webbed Hand Rain project. This CD-length ambient recording endeavors to soothe you with characteristic Tree Helicopter samples and rhythms.

A second collaboration between Mystified and Saluki Regicide. The theme of this concept EP is a pilgrimage in some distant land. The traveller, faced with strangeness, is defamiliarized and experiences mystical insight.

This imaginary soundtrack to a sci-fi space odyssey is a synaesthetic sound gallery in the drone/ambient tradition. Inspired by Jules Verne, Norman Spinrad, and 70s Moog concept albums, it's a compelling and surprising CD.

Long awaited, this body of rather eclectic work by Tree Helicopter is a tribute to those who spend hours hunched over shortwave radios, trancing out to the mysteries of spy stations and distorted musics from the far corners of the unknown.

Straight-ahead, catchy, dark electronica. Good headphone music (like everything else we offer, actually). This project is a spinoff from Rolling Calf Sinfonette, with oblique and obscure sci-fi and conspiracy references sprinkled throughout.

A Third collections of dark aetherial transmissions from the inner space artistry of Saluki Regicide. Dark, at times nostalgic, these compositions manage somehow to be simultaneously warm and alien.

Akashic Crow's Nest offers its own peculiar take on Webbed Hand Records' Rain series of album-length ambient releases. The ACN sound is distinguished by the use of an image synthesizer (pictures are translated into sounds) to produce most of the auditory elements used in its compositions.

Saluki Regicide returns with another selection of haunted head music to disturb your inner child. These are some very strange recordings.
