the planet scanners
the third expedition
An awesome collection of atmospheric soundscapes.
A third expedition from these electronic improvisers takes them to further and wilder places.
Mars to be exact. Wonderfully interactive improvised music at its very best from this unique band featuring theremin, electric violin, guitar, synthesizers and percussion.
