Noah Creshevsky - Strategic Defense Initiative
Noah Creshevsky Strategic Defense Initiative
Reanimator Orange Milk 2018
Noah Creshevshy (1945-2020) was an American composer. His aim was to create sound at once nearly human and tangentially electronic, but never fully one or the other. Allusions to Middle Eastern, Asian, and Western sacred, secular, popular, and classical instrumental and vocal music seek to produce hypothetical performers of indeterminate identity--simultaneously male and female, Western and non-Western, ancient and modern, familiar and unfamiliar.

Jade Warrior Borne On The Solar Wind (2022 Remaster)
Last Autumn's Dream (2022 Remastered Edition) Esoteric 1972
Jade Warrior were formed in the UK in 1970. They were categorized as a psychedelic space rock group, but their music is hard to describe, incorporating many elements. Their mostly instrumental compositions had lush chords, and often had a wide dynamic range, from delicate hand bells to sudden loud crunches. "Last Autumn's Dream" is their third release, and hints at the direction they would go in their prime period on Island Records (1974-1978).
