about

A bizarre musical creature called SCRYING GLASS appeared a few years ago on the radar of the weird music fans, leaving us speechless: in Scrying Glass' music, there is the whole history of the most oblique and (today) neglected pop-rock music: a bit of classic progressive sound by Yes, Gentle Giant and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, a bit of the 70s sci-fi aesthetics so dear to Tangerine Dream, Eloy and Hawkwind and a bit of jazz-fusion easy listening to give an unfashionable elegance touch. All are presented with deliciously cheap and shamelessly '90s midi sounds!

We couldn't remain indifferent to all this: so we jumped at the chance to make a limited edition Scrying Glass anthology cassette, when the author behind the monicker, Mr. Zack Dolin, proposed to us.

_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._

The tape"Tales of the Dying Earth" contains a selection of our favorite S.G. songs packaged with artwork that is a tribute to the 1940s comic book series "Planet Comics" and one of its most beloved authors, artist Dan Zolnerowich (1915-1995).

A 32-page booklet with an unpublished retro sci-fi story by our frighteningly talented Sergio Poli completes the proposal; a proposal that, we are sure, will meet the refined tastes of all you, lovers of unusual music!

Music by Zack Dolin (except 4*)

* the song is a cover of the opening credits music of "Cannibal Holocaust" movie (Ruggero Deodato, 1979); the song, composed by maestro Riz Ortolani, is the sweet prelude to one of the most frightening and repugnant films ever made! Slurp!

flies the coop
by Hole Dweller

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly

ANTI FUTURE
by Erang

supported by 21 fans who also own “HDK 185 † Tales of the Dying Earth”

ANTI FUTURE, c'est le point de retournement. Erang fait un bond dans le temps si grand que son dungeon synthé a été transformé en synthwave rétrofuturiste et dystopique grâce à l'invention de l'electro. Et pourtant, Erang ne cède pas à la pulsion de la brutalité qui est devenue une signature du genre : si certains personnages de son royaume se réincarnent, certains arpèges oniriques aussi et sa féerie reste intacte. Le point de retournement... sauf qu'il n'y a point de retournement ! Excellent ! Nocturnal Egg (Jordan)
