Foundation Stones: The Stunned Box

2010

Stunned

[drone, ambient, experimental]

Here's the recently released (and recently sold-out) six-tape Stunned box set, marking the label's 100th release in total. The box reissues a bunch of the earliest CDRs that our favourite tape label put out in 2008 and 2009. There is of course a lot of music to digest here, running a total of eight and a half hours, but I suggest starting with the first tape, which contains the excellent Eureka and Ear And Throat releases, and just working yourself through this thing from there. It's really great.

Tape #1: A: Eureka - Eureka / B: Ear And Throat - Viaje

Tape #2: C: Rambutan - Broken Infinity / D: Metal Rouge - Salt Stones

Tape #3: E: Sleepwalkers Local - Better Living Through Science / F: SMGSAP - Chrysalis Cycles

Tape #4: G: Eureka - Big Breath EP + Eureka - Cloud Stages 3" / H: Plankton Wat - Crystal Wizard

Tape #5: I: The Doglands - The Doglands / J: The Pistil Cosmos - Smoking Clouds In The Land Of Fire

Tape #6: K: Sean McCann - Sway / L: Enfer Boréal - The Birth Of Venus
