Don't know about the pricing, but we're getting imports of Blue Room stuff
for about $18 here in Japan, so maybe the States-side importer is just
taking a hefty cut.
Speaking of BLUE ROOM, their ambient release by The Infinty Project is
absolutely stellar! If you're thinking GOA, forget it, go buy "Feeling
Weird" on TIP, but for some intense, psychedelic ambience, "Mystical
Experiences" is one of the best records this year. (It also features Simon
from HALLUCINOGEN helping out ...) Very trippy, precise, and hypnotic,
taking the trance ideas of speed, tweaked-out sounds, and building to
peaks, and applying them with a lighter touch to the spacey flow of
ambient. Brilliant!
Peace,
GIO
