Independent Shops Exxclusive Green LP Available Initially
Originally released in 2014 and their most successful album to date, the band's
7th studio album Weightless (Ambient Transmissions Vol 2) is now to berelea sed on vinyl.
The album includes the now iconic and seminal track Weightless together with 5
more tracks, the latter derived from the ideas of the former, simply entitled Part 1
– Part 6. The tracks are minimal, combining warm drones and drifting sounds
with occasional sparse rhythms. The inspiration for the album came after the
band were commissioned to collaborate with a sound therapist from the British
Academy of Sound Therapy and write a piece of relaxing music, the first
"Weightless" track. When scientifically tested for its effectiveness scientists
reported that their research indicated that the music slowed the heart rate, reduced blood pressure and decreased levels of cortisol, a steroid hormone that is released in response to stress. When the research was made public there was an instant and intense media reaction which continues to this day.
