Conscious Music you have probably never heard of | #88 | Tara Putra - Driven by Dub

in #conscious-musiclast month (edited)

Quirky but relatable, outright odd but somehow familiar, Tara Putra's music is a class of its own. When the harmony trumpets come out I swear I can see a middle America desert scape in my mind's eye.

Inexplicably catchy to the ear and still not quite like anything else I heard, this album has been with me for almost ten years now! Originally released as a freebie on the mighty www.ektoplazm.com online label for psychedelic music, it still hits a nerve today.

Driven by Dub creates an atmosphere, not quite spooky but stopping intentionally short of it somehow: mysterious and enigmatic.

If you dig the sound of dusty organs, mexican trumpet duos, paired with steadily-paced analog beats and a touch of melodic mysticiscm, you really ought to give this album a try. Their sound has evolved quite a bit since this release of in 2015, but seeing how music has been declining in quality there definitely is place for classics like this in this series.

If 9 years qualifies as classic already, ahaha.

Here is a hopefully non-ad-infested taster for you from the album:

So what are you waiting for, grab your mind sombrero and take a walk into the calming desert sunset; even if you stay directly on your couch listening to this wonderful album while smoking some magic herb or sipping a cup of your favorite tea.

You can download the full album in high quality wav, flac or mp3 - legally - from ektoplazm.com

Enjoy!

Nice to see you revive this series again. It brings me back to my first days in Portugal, during the Spring of 2018, when we just knew each other.

Glad to see you're feeling inspired and nice music! :<)
