Asura - Asura (2010)


Ambient IDM from an LA artist who seemingly hasn't recorded anything under this alias since. Downtempo beats and bright melodic elements (synths, guitar, vocals, horns) partially obscured, and at times completely subsumed in a warm, vinyl-crackling-like haze.

(Not to be confused with the French ambient trance project.)

Track listing:
1. Asura I
2. Peptine
3. I Saw You in Vice (Anenon Birthday Remix)
4. Orrorin
5. Asura II
6. From the Beach
7. Manzanita
8. Voxels
9. Asura III
10. Her Tearing
11. Timber
12. The Eleventh
13. Feathers

  1. This is lovely, thanks. And extra points for the Terje Rypdal sample on the last track...

    1. Oh shit, good catch! I can't place the song but that definitely sounds like my man Terje.

    3. Ah, that explains it, that's one of my least listened-to Rypdal records.
