Sonic Ambulance

~ Release by Children of the Bong (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

From Bandcamp

‘Sonic Ambulance’ is the first release from a hidden treasure trove of unreleased material that was unearthed while researching tracks to go on ‘Sirius Sounds (Expanded)’ and contains the starting culture of the Children of the Bong sound that features 100% live performances without sequencers.
Under the influence of electronic, ambient and psychedelic pioneers of the 60’s & 70’s such as Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno and Pink Floyd, the pair utilise analog synths, guitars, effects, found sounds and voice with a smattering of looped samples. These are raw streams of consciousness between two young psychonauts discovering the electrodelic world for the first time and delve in worlds also occupied by more contemporary artists of that period such as the Orb and Aphex Twin.

Created in 1993/94, these recordings have been salvaged from long forgotten cassettes and DATs and as such may contain tape hiss and occasional digital glitches. While they have been mastered to remove as much audio detritus as possible, they have been largely left unedited to preserve the original intention.
This is not intended to be a critical masterpiece and its lack of beats may not interest those firmly rooted on the dancefloor, however lovers of electronic sound and those curious about the origins of Children of the Bong need not look any further!

As a nod to their earlier days of selling demo cassettes at live gigs, Sonic Ambulance will be available exclusively on Bandcamp and for a limited period as name your price!
