Invisible Pyramid: Elegy Box

There are a few great compilations of music nowadays. Digitalis Gold Leaf Branches. Time Lag/Eclipse's By The Fruits You Shall Know The Roots. And Last Visible Dog's Invisible Pyramid: Elegy Box. Invisible Pyramid overshadows all other compilations, a staggering 6 discs at a monumental 7 and a half hours, 31 of the best psych-folk, drone and experimental artists. A few of the artists off the playlist just to give you a taste of how incredible it is: Birchville Cat Motel, Avarus, Fursaxa, My Cat is an Alien, Black Forest/Black Sea, Steven R. Smith, Keijo, Uton and Es. That's only 9 of the total of 31 artists who contribute to this compilation. Like I said, monumental. My copy arrived on Sunday in the mail and I knew that I was not going to be outside for the rest of the day.

After I had listened to all 7 and a half hours, disc by disc, drone by drone, it was difficult to reflect on such a truly great and important compilation of music and artists. Invisible Pyramid represents to me one of the greatest musical achievements of the era, the equivalent of No Fun Fest or Terrastock. If you're interested in the experimental or the psychedelic, or simply want to get a healthy dose of something new, I highly recommend this. It's only 40 dollars on Last Visible Dog's site(although they're sold out as of two days ago, they say more in early Feb.), and considering the price of music these days that is more than a steal.

I haven't ripped it to my computer because I don't have the HD space, but if I do I will get around to putting up a track. As for now, here are a few mp3s from artists on the comp to peak your interest.
