RVNG Intl. Presents Friends & Fiends w/ M. Sage

From host: _"Colorado cassette bins are kind of special in that they are chock full of weirdo new age private press stuff. Boulder has a sort of new age material halo around it, and in the last few years, I’ve gathered a pretty heady collection of new age cassettes from thrift stores and estate sales. I dubbed some and cut them up into an ultimate herbalized Saturday morning new age chopped and screwed mix. The mix is 3 acts: it opens with a dipped body scan from Dr. Miller and Madame Kelly and then segues into three ambient chopped and screwed new age caverns. Mountain air infused extra head room from the Wading Soundsystem. From there the second act falls into some bucolic classical inspired new age and field recordings. The last act is a wild little nugget of heady Nepalese classical I’ve treasured since I found it back in my college days. It came from a Nepal-Tibet store, because every “mountain town” has one, and sometimes killer raga cassettes are lost wandering between the incense shelves. This is my perfect Saturday morning. A dawn in the flowers with some light roast and a watering can, piddling across the grass like a lazy cloud shadow to a distant classical radio, locking in to do the weeding."_ His new album Tender / Wading was released last week — stream / download here.
