Disembodied voices float in and out of the mix, reminiscent of Byrne \/ Eno's ethnomusicology-inspired My Life in the Bush of Ghosts or the Residents' Eskimo. There is a strange post-DC vibe here, much like if Dischord Records' Black Eyes played ambient synthesizer-jams instead of Wire-y Punk. The record also calls to mind Cloudland Canyon, perhaps not surprising since Kip Uhlhorn from that band mastered Ecstasy and Refreshment and is helping to release it to a wider audience. Jana Hunter from Lower Dens, Nona Invie from Dark Dark Dark, and Tony Janas and Otto Junker from Deep Earth lent their collaborative efforts as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Dexedream \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Pacifier \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Deep Fantasy \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The High Life \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Maya Control \u003cbr\u003e1.6 GMBH \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Third Wave \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Marsh Bar\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Food Pyramid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32404466204743,"sku":"20798901","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2244267.jpg?v=1747738423","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/food-pyramid-ecstasy-and-refreshment","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
