drugs disguised as toys

...That is to say, video games. Those addictive, corrosive, deadly discs (formerly carts). I love them, like smokers love their fix. That being the case, it isnt surprising how much i like music that sounds like video games — techno/electronic.

.

ok, i cant imagine a video game where this music would really fit (unless the gameplay were to float across the sky as a cloud), but it is electronic nonetheless, and truly wonderful. The artist is a duo named Yasume. This album is called We’re From Where The Birds Sing A Pretty Song.I believe they’re British, and one member is known as logreybeam, while the other is called Xela. logreybeam’s solo album,Its All Just Another Aspect Of Mannerism, was released in 2004, while Xela’s The Dead Sea is a recent 2006 release.This was their one-time (?) collaboration in beautiful ambient soundscapes. The Orb’s ‘little fluffy clouds‘ has nothing on this.
I doubt Yasume had any proper music videos, but some rad youtuber named SilentOkami with rad taste in both gaming and music merged some silent hill video with a yasume song. Thanks, silentOkami!

Review. Give it a listen, look for the Xela/logreybeam albums, and collect them if you find yourself loving it.
