Double Cassette: Above Sea Level/Below Sea Level
Growing was a two piece instrumental minimalist band that released some pretty great albums. I believe they added a member or two and possibly vocals (?) to their later works, but I haven't heard them. This is a limited edition double cassette released by growing back in 2005ish. These cassettes were recorded with the intentions of both being played simultaneously. The liner notes state that synchronizing the cassettes is impossible. Because I do not own two cassette decks on two different stereos that happen to be within the same proximity of each other, I decided to rip each cassette and combine them. The left stereo speaker is Above Sea Level and the right speaker is Below Sea Level. [combined=above/below sea level]. Less atmospheric and captivating than their other albums, but still really good. I am sure this is better when listening on two different stereos, but this will work...

man how good is this. The Sky's Run Into The Sea has some pretty awesome highlights too. i',m a sucker for the "play these at once" records too. you should check out www.musicfellowship.com. tons of awesome instrumental stuff BUT they are doing a Monolith series (a la kubrick/clark's 2001...awesome) and the whole point is to bring two different noise bands together on a one sided picture disc, and split them between left and right channels, and have you the listener turn the knobs to determine mixing and listening and such.
hope you're well JD. miss you buddy
