****************
New Age music, which is not like what you could find from the Hyper Market's special offer box (together with Relax with Angel Dolphins etc). Broken Skies offers wider selection of colours, including the dark tones. It's an excursion to listeners mind, and to the collective subconsciousness. Mysterious and dreamy, deep sounds with rainbow sparkles and crystal vibrations.

“...and, later, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, I befriended the Russian Airforce psychic, Major Gregor Sergeyev, who taught me the First Breath technique used by pilots on what they called “bombing runs.” It was on a mission in 1972 to remote-assassinate Henry Kissinger (or, at least, incapacitate him via a stroke, etc) that Sergeyev first encountered the entity he called Не-бог – a cluster of several thousand 'souls' that sympathetically resonated in the 10megahertz hyper-harmonic range...” – S. R. Poroskov, Forgotten Gods (1996).
“Palmer pressed a stud on the construct's quartz head, above and between the odd, deep-set eyes that glowed like the dull, red embers of a dying fire and we were transported to Xith – fabulous, far-off Xith!” – Corrine McAllister, Beneath the Realm of Men (1942).
“Ametrine. SiO2 (with minor iron impurities). Hexagonal-R; 32 (trigonal-trapezohedral). Macroscopic crystals occur as horizontally-striated hexagonal prisms terminated by a combination of positive and negative rhombohedrons forming six-sided pyramids. Dauphine twin with c the twin axis, Brazil twin with {1120} the twin plane. Specific gravity: 2.65. Index of refraction: 1.54-1.55.
Birefringence: 0.009. Hardness: 7. Connects the physical realm with the higher consciousness. This stone facilitates and protects during astral travel and can diminish the effects of a psychic attack.” – Michael Rubin, Practical Mineralogy (2009).
Written in response to the climate crisis, “Leviathan” is a brooding and beautifully unsettling batch of dark ambient songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
Purposely scaled-back electronic music, “Intruder” is all about the texture of a few pieces of gear playing off one another. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 26, 2023
