Folks of Twoism,

I've been working for about two years on this release, and am finally happy to present it to you.

Unlike my past Saturday Index/Yalone releases, STATION focuses on a very specific, ambient sector of sound. I wanted to create something that evoked a feeling of timelessness, eternity, and mysticism. This album is a very personal release for me--right from the very start I knew it was coming straight from my soul.

Please listen, enjoy, and--if you like the music--your contribution would be appreciated as well. The high quality downloaded version is a much better listening experience.

Cheers,

JB

PS Also soon to be released will be a short, limited edition run of the CD in a hand-signed and numbered physical format. Stay tuned![/img]

LISTENER REVIEWS:

"Marrying the deepest despair of desolation with a sanguine yearning for salvation, STATION doesn't make pretensions to its quality by means of eclecticism but rather defines a very limited set of musical axioms by which it proves its quality and musical correctness. The feelings it sets out to evoke in the listener are as seminal and abstract as those experienced when peering into the unfathomable celestial sky at night and realizing one's infinitesimal significance within the eternal realm of the universe. Like the artwork implies, STATION is like finding yourself on a raft at sea, with no plans and barely any memories, and musically recites ethereal yet dark reveries of detachment, though never losing consciousness nor failing to discern the faint flickering of a distant lighthouse, while the soothing waves of sound gently wash over the listener's soul."

- Guido V. (Kashmir Boots)

This is absolutely beautiful! I can't buy it now, but I'll get it once I get paid at the end of the month.
Seriously, this is really good stuff!
People of twoism, if you like ambient music, follow the link and listen to this album right now.

This really is gorgeous. Bandcamp seems not to be speaking to Paypal at the moment but this is a "must buy" as soon as they get that sorted.

Don't be scared off by any "ambient" tags. This inhabits the same sound-world as BoC's incidental interlude and beatless pieces.

Sure wish Bandcamp wasn't having problems talking with Paypal. Driving me nuts. Will keep trying!

Cheers guys, so glad you're enjoying the previews. : ) The Paypal communication issue has been fixed!

Excellent! Downloading now.

Just bought it. Now waiting for a moment to listen attentively.

Just bought the flac version since I already had the mp3's ;D.

You've been working on this for a long time Jed! Great to see it finished. I will be purchasing and coming back to chat about it!

Thanks everyone! Hope you are enjoying the release. Igloo Mag review just came in! ::

"Silence is tucked away underneath a sheet of crumpled bass tones, minimalist sheets of reversed noise, wrinkled melodies and spacious collages of BOC’esque interludes. To disseminate such an album requires a quiet place or a long 3:00am drive. Like separating individual grainuals from a plume of ashes, STATION (aka Jed Becker, Twoism.org moderator and also operating under the Saturday Index moniker) has conceived forty-two minutes of simmering ambience. And it is with these mysterious strands of subtlety that allows each movement to slither its way into the subconscious. Without notice, time casually falls out of place, nostalgia flashes into mind and vanishes into thin air. Perhaps by design, it’s actually difficult not to invest each second into listening to the nuances spinning around on this release. A hypnotic symphony of sublime minimalism floats around an organic stream; and it is in this stream that the listener can begin to fully realize the path that these sounds etch. Definitively surreal and devoid of a conclusion, STATION is a bewildering collection of silky ambience transmitting a fluid kaleidoscope of colors and undulating waves upon the memory bank. Don’t let this one slip under the radar, instead, let it float into and out of your mind."

Love it. But you know that already

Just finished listening to Station, I thought it was great. Capreae was my initial favourite although I'm looking forward to giving it proper attention later with the HDs. Wonderful album. Cheers

this is some deep and beautiful stuff, I might actually by it.
It's really nice bro.

Gorgeous! Just beatiful. This is what I need while I am waiting for new BoC. Buying it now and will play some of this in my radio show if it is okay!

You know what? This is wonderful. Fills the BOC-gap quite nicely too.
Actually, Parallax1 reminded me of Stars of the Lid strangely enough.

Knew you were going to come in with a SOTL comparison!!!! But you're right its very nice indeed. SaturdayIndex, well done man. I get a Harold Budd's Lovely Thunder hint off it as well, which is alright by me. When's the CD coming out as I want this physical?

LOL - yeah I know, I know... I almost didn't say it because I know I'm always banging on about em.

Fantastic! Thanks for this.

PR-Z is so emotional. This whole record is nice and really flows together. I have no money, but when I do, I'm buying it.

Yes! I noticed that too! Really love this album. I'm stuck in an anonymous hotel just outside Telford and this is just the soundtrack I need to forget I'm here.
