Another Divine Joke – Lo! Peninsula
2 April 2019
With a track title like “Another Divine Joke”, how could it not be right for the playlist. This opening track from the debut album by “Lo! Peninsula will take you on a cosmic cruise past the pineal gland and blast a hole through the back of your cranium….
Time – Morosity
27 February 2019
When you’re writing a guest post on another curator’s playlist, you’d better bloody not bury the lede! That this spectacular track comes with an amazing video just puts it over the top – stop what you’re doing and take 5 minutes to check it out – trust me – you have the Time!..
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight – Low Roar
13 February 2019
From the mind of Ryan Karazija, comes the soulful melodic offering “Low Roar”.
Atmospheric and experimental, yet not so far out that you couldn’t put it on for your easy-listening, pop standards friend (how dare you have friends like that). I’m just sayin’….for something that’s kinda “different”, it’s pretty easy going…
Bad Ritual – Timber Timbre
14 November 2018
The opening track from the 2011 “Creep On Creepin’ On”, “Bad Ritual” speaks to the lasting pain caused by infidelity, of a love now lost. Traversing past memories and finding pleasure in the small, yet constant reminders of the now that trigger memories of that relationship…
Crescent – Brendan Perry
10 October 2018
Romantic and dreamy, a “Song of the Stars” (for you DCD geeks), the heavens above, the illusion of time and reality, yet grounded to the experience of here and now on earth, or at least our perception of it…
Heroic Dose – Echobrain
12 September 2018
So, you’ve probably never heard of Echobrain, right? Well, if you are/were ever a fan of Metallica, you probably should have. Not for the reason of sounding even the slightest bit like them, but because Jason Newsted was the original bassist, and…
Addis – OM
29 August 2018
“Addis”, the third eye opening healer from OM’s 2012 “Advaitic Songs”. Verbally consisting of the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, it’s a perfect introduction to the spiritual pilgrimage to follow…
Marked for Death – Emma Ruth Rundle
22 August 2018
This week I have the pleasure of sharing the exquisitely crafted, aphotic, opening and title track from Emma Ruth Rundle’s 2016 pièce de résistance, “Marked for Death”. Dynamic, spacious and powerful the album certainly sits atop my favs of the last 5 years…
Passing Through – Cult of Luna
24 July 2018
This week’s pick to question existence is he well placed closing track on the 2013 album “Vertikal”. “Passing Through” by Cult of Luna. The simple, yet very effective lyrics combined with a playful xylophone and a droning guitar riff that leaves you in a comfortably black, trance like state…
Ouroboros – Morosity
2 July 2018
You’ve probably seen the symbol of the snake eating its own tail, it’s an unmistakable, thought provoking, powerful symbol. The “Ouroboros”, an ancient Egyptian symbol (possibly the oldest in human existence) representing the cyclical nature of existence, the beginning, the end, everything in-between, all is one, one is all. Infinite…
Main Title Theme for Westworld – Ramin Djawadi
26 June 2018
One of only a handful of television theme songs I sit through every time without a forward skip. I usually hum a long while I drool over what seems to me unimaginable visuals. The entire premise of Westworld fits right in there, wherever there is, with the concept of the Music To Questions Existence playlist…
Flight Response – Days of the New
5 June 2018
Days of the New, AKA Travis Meeks was a powerful force in the last 90’s rock scene, touring with Metallica and holding down the Number 1 spot on the Billboard Rock chart for a record breaking 17 weeks straight with the grungy acoustic jam “Touch, Peel and Stand”, which came from their debut album titled “Orange”…
