Paisley Babylon Free MP3 Download: Retina from The Alpha Wave Variations

Media, Turntabling Records, , , , ,

paisley babylon alpha wave variationsHere is a free MP3 from Paisley Babylon’s The Alpha Wave Variations. This almost impossible-to-find CD was long out of print until now (you can buy it from Turntabling here) partly due to being unavailable for digital download.

The free MP3 download of Eibon from The Alpha Wave Variations (copyright 1997 Uncle Buzz/Turntabling Records) is a limited-time download offer. This track also appears on the limited-edition 13 Unusual Tracks compilation given away at Flashback Weekend 2009, along with a few new tracks by Paisley Babylon, plus older songs from GOOP, Post-Mortem Telepathy and Opinion8.

For those familiar with Italian horror film soundtracks, Eibon will definitely ring a bell. The source inspiration for this piece was Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond, also known as The Seven Doors of Death. The beginning sequence of the movie is a blend of creepy Italian horror with a bit of Lovecraft thrown in for good measure. Eibon was inspired by the mood of the film, as well as the fantastic boo-hoo surrealist ending. Continue reading Paisley Babylon Free MP3 Download: Retina from The Alpha Wave Variations →

Turntabling at Flashback Weekend Friday and Saturday (Oct. 23-24 2009)

13 unusual tracks promo cd turntablingThat’s an iPhone photo of the CD we’ll be giving away tomorrow to some lucky attendees of Chicago’s annual Flashback Weekend, a longtime horror convention staple in the midwest. Turntabling doesn’t have a booth at this one–next year, perhaps after we’ve scoped it out this year–but we will be hangning out at the Kitley’s Krypt booth with a stack of these VERY limited-edition promo discs for Turntabling Records.

These will go very quickly if the performance of the last promo disc, Turntabling Presents 12 Spacey Favorites is any indication. We gave away 30 CDs in no time at all at the Music Box Massacre recently and we fully expect the new promo, Turntabling Presents 13 Unusual Tracks, to be just as popular. These are NOT for sale–they’re promos and therefore totally free. But they’re also a limited edition and when they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

13 Unusual Tracks features another grab bag of odd and rare sounds, including a never-before-on-CD Post-Mortem Telepathy Vs. Pink Floyd mashup, plus some brand new Paisley Babylon tracks unheard and unreleased until now…these won’t be on the promo release for the new vinyl record, either.

13 Unusual Tracks is packed with soundtrack/Morricone-esque sounds, plus some very trippy, spaced out material sure to lull you into a state of near-hallucination. Listen to this disc in the dark, if you’re one of the lucky ones to get it. For the rest of the world, stay tuned as a special promo collection (with different tracks, naturally) for YOU is coming very soon.

Join us this weekend at Flashback. It’s located at:

WYNDHAM O’HARE Hotel

Paisley Babylon The Alpha Wave Variations On Sale Now

For Sale, ,

paisley babylon alpha wave variationsPaisley Babylon’s The Alpha Wave Variations is back in print for a limited time. Some say this disc is unclassifiable, but favorable comparisons have been made to John Carpenter, Eno, and other masters of the analog synth in unusual applications.

Part beat-driven electronic psychedelia and part horror film soundtrack, The Alpha Wave Variations straddles a thin line between sonic sculpture and dark new wave.

One reviewer writes, “If Funki Porcini is like ‘shrooming, then Paisley Babylon is like spending several hours in a flotation tank after ingesting a couple of hash brownies. Definitely one of those in the dark listening experiences.”

The sadly defunct Last Sigh Magazine said of The Alpha Wave Variations, “This CD has a foreboding electronic soundscape… strange murders, cannibalistic activities, and ‘graveyard robberies’…setting the stage for eerie events in one’s dream state with weird echos… More strange sounds produced here that I haven’t heard elsewhere…”

Available on CD for a limited time while supplies last, The Alpha Wave Variations has been out of print for many years until now. It’s not available as an MP3 download or vinyl, but the disc is now on sale here at Turntabling. This is a brand new, sealed CD release on Uncle Buzz Records.

Buy The Alpha Wave Variations by Paisley Babylon for $11.00 plus shipping.


Paisley Babylon Midnight Hallucinations CD/MP3

album, , , , , , ,

Paisley Babylon Midnight HallucinationsIt’s Halloween season again, which can only mean one thing–Paisley Babylon is back to creep you out electronically with a collection of way-out synth sounds. Yes, Paisley Babylon is the ‘house band’ of Turntabling.net, a chronically unclassifiable synth project running since 1996. Some have compared PB to Dark Side of the Moon-era Pink Floyd, while others say it sounds a lot like a collision between John Carpenter and Goblin.

It’s tough to say who’s right, but one thing’s for sure, this CD/MP3 download is definitely the right soundtrack for your next Halloween shindigm, especially for when you want to turn out all the lights and get down with the adult recreational activities. Sex music for mutants? That was one person’s description of Midnight Hallucinations. You be the judge.
