Planetary House Nation

If you're familiar with the legends of San Francisco's rave culture (which you're probably not, since it has gone largely undocumented), you may come across the story of Richard Sun. As the leader of Ambient Temple of Imagination, Sun put together "chill rooms" at San Francisco parties that were intensely involving and psychedelic. This album, recorded live at the Gathering with the help of studio partner Seofon and didgeridoo player Steven Kent, is a continuation of his mission to combine serious mysticism and spirituality with ambient music, a genre largely defined more by its intellectual rather than spiritual goals. Previously, the products of this mission have largely been confined to short-run 12-inches and hard-to-find CDs; Planetary House Nation provides those outside the loop an opportunity to hear Sun's engaging fusion of tribal drum loops, ethereal guitar, and didgeridoo along with creepy spoken-word lectures. --Matthew Corwine

Totally Intense.......1998-09-27

Sit back for a moment and consider this: "What kind of music can make my mind go on a serious trip?" Well, this album "Planetary House Nation" can do it for you. When I first listened to it, I was blown away by the seriousness of this music. What more can I say? Buy it!

THIS IS REALLY EXPERIMENTAL.......1998-08-24

A TOI came together for a jam sesson at the gathering this is a live mix of the session its not rehearsed but still has some interesting moments that demonstrate the spontinaety lacking in so many prerecorded live dat shows that electronic music has become the ritual performances of this thing are more about transforming the terms music musician music industry etc to a deeper level some say satan is in charge of the music industry and that all professional musicians are signing a contract with the devil when they become a professional musician,but the gnostics believe that the world IS a contract so everyone is under the influence of the dark forces which permeate the money they get for thier work is money the root of all evil or is evil really good in disquise? back to the a toi intent play with it in YOUR IMAGI NATION there were people there on ILLEGAL DRUGS and they were dancing (and some were even having sex) then they wandered into this "chillbient room"TEMPLE AMBIENT a phrase coined by seofon in 1992's IMAGINATION event in san francisco ca.which was later echoed in mixmaster morris and BRIAN ENO's ears A:TMOSPHERIC T:RANCEING O:UTWARD I:NITIATIONS ATOI means nothing or everything use your imagination and create your own SCENE which is what A TOI does this "muse-ic"has no label but for the record the memory of the band roxy music aand eno's break with them then his work with DAVID BOWIE (english king of rock-literally)BILL NELSON (the truebad- door)robert fripp KING CRIMSON AND OF COURSE PINK FLOYD and u get thee idea not to forget THROBBING GRISLE\psychic tv so the memory goes on what do you remember is there really art in music? DOES THE LIVE FOODISTS HAVE A PRAY IN A COOKED WORLD? is raw the law?
