O Is For the OPUS

*Originally released December 19th 2015* Trip hop never sounded so amazing (yet so dark). Steve and Doug dig deep and chat about The OPUS, the collaboration between The Isle of Weight and Mr. Echoes. Also is music a product, and can you ever create art without making it a commodity? Steve and Doug discuss the Lavachild conundrum. Music featured this week: March Of The Termites - March Of The Termites [EP] In The Oak (Prophet Mix) - Praying Mantis Skywalker - Blending Density Serpent's Fruit - Praying Mantis 10:00 - We always believe in putting our money where our mouths are. Be a hero, support an independent artist, and check out Lavachild's Bandcamp page 13:17 - This is before Steve and Doug learned about Patreon 41:57 - Okay, the definition of "epic": 1) Noting of pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style (eg. Homer's Iliad). 2) Resembling or suggesting such poetry 3) Heroic, majestic, impressively great 43:40 - Steve really did order himself a copy, and it is lovely 1:06:17 - Lovely psychedelic alternative work that we can't recommend enough: Sarah Williams White on Bandcamp Steve's Recommendations: Roads Seldom Traveled - First Contact 001 Underearth - Earthwalkers [EP] the Fall Of Man / Serpent's Fruit - Praying Mantis Doug's Recommendations: Divorced - Praying Mantis March Of The Termites - March Of The Termites [EP] Wishbone - Praying Mantis-Plus the OPUS's Facebook Page the OPUS's Bandcamp Page
