Magic Lantern: Underwater Dynasty
Hop-Frog Kollectiv: Somba
SPLIT 12" VINYL

URCK 2009

AVAILABLE AGAIN!

Through a mutual admiration of each other's work Magic Lantern & The Hop-Frog Kollectiv have created two stunning masterpieces for a collaborative release. 

The Hop-Frog Kollectiv's Somba is based on recordings on Silvertone and Hammond organs donated by Shea M. Gauer of OPEN Books and features Yanqin (Chinese dulcimer), Ruan (moon guitar), Been, electric guitar, midi guitar & flutes.  The title comes from the regionally known name of three clans in the Atakora Mountains of the Sahara desert who's ancestral and family ties govern their society through their belief that the dead are permanently among us and constantly influencing us. 

Magic Lantern's Underwater Dynasty was recorded for Ukelele, Guitar, Flute, Piano, Bells, Hand Drums & Voices.   This piece could alternatively be titled Underwater Raga.  The magic created by the interweaving flute and string melodies creates and epic soundtrack to an Atlantis like Hesse-esque world that'll take you to the outer places you've always needed to explore.  This is Magic Lantern's follow up to their highly acclaimed wax release on Not Not Fun entitled High Beams.

This LP is the second pressing.  There are 200 copies on multi-colored marble vinyl!
