Expedition - (07/04/08 - 07/06/08)

The map has been obtained! One day while wandering through the woods, we stumbled and fell into a mass of patterns, falling deeper and deeper into the forest. Into the darkened mass we fell, and eventually stopped, along with a vast amount of dissociative thoughts scattered among the leaves of an unknown area. Finally when our thoughts were gathered, we noticed a glow beneath the leaves in front of us. We swept them away to find a map of epic proportions. A map that has been hidden for ages, yet glowed with radiant energy unlike anything we had ever seen. We took the map, wandered back into reality, and raced home to set up a crew to embark on a newfound journey. This is where you all come in, as we need ambitious explorers to uncover new terrain, as all sorts of treasures are sure to be found. The Expedition, from July 4th-6th, is sure to lead to new concepts of thought, time and space....

Focused on the heavier end of the psytrance spectrum, expect a sinister aural arrangement from this sub ocean dweller. A world of shadow deciphering the riddle of this glossalalia. The good dale is trapped in the lodge.

PRIMORDIAL OOZE *LIVE/DJ* //Chicawaukee, WI/IL Divine Balance Records//
The Primordial Ooze project was created by DJ's Kaiser Soze and S.O.T. Flowing sounds that seem to bubble and evolve like primitive life forms. These bundles of frequencies collaborate in a swarm like manner, creating intelligent patterns and movement. The Ooze sound creates a unique twist on the ever changing sound of psychedelic music. The regulars know them and love them as their favorite regional live pa for psy trance to date, and their sound keeps evolving itself for every performance. Psyowa, watch out!
