It has been a long time coming, Mystic Moods, but as we say in The Netherlands, we didn’t skate over one night’s (thin) ice, we simply granted it the time it deserved.

And so here we are, proudly presenting a collection of Mystic Moods from Israel, Russia, USA, England, Germany and The Netherlands.

Released 15 may 2007

The title, like Numerology, again seemingly refers to the New Age domain, but what a fine corps of musical shamans has cooked up in their sound laboratories is not the sort of thing your therapist would try to lull you with during a Reiki session.

The hallmark of WM Recordings is ‘different’, and so it’s Mystic Moods with a wink, a lighthearted take on the mystic deriving it’s campy cues from the Mystic Moods Orchestra, rituals and therapy, art and science fiction, the metascientific questions scientists are being forced to ask regarding origins and existence, and the rise of fanatisism in the world of faith, in short: it’s music for your undisputed pleasure…!

Finally, I’d like to express a big “thank you!” to all artists who so generously contributed. A special thanks goes out to Martijn for his precious studio time, to Trudy for her priceless artwork, and to Marco for making it all possible.

Experience Mystic Moods Without Electromagnetic Interference

This international collection of sonic shamans – spanning from Israel to Russia, USA to The Netherlands – deserves listening technology that matches its experimental spirit. Air tube headphones provide an EMF-free way to explore all 20 tracks of mystical soundscapes without electromagnetic radiation. Whether you’re journeying through Terry Douglas’s “Cult of Divine Chaos” or Happy Elf’s “Passengers,” air tubes keep electromagnetic fields away from your head during extended listening sessions. For music that questions origins and existence through sound laboratories and ritual-inspired compositions, choose headphones that eliminate EMF exposure while you explore the undisputed pleasure of WM Recordings experimental catalog.

 

Wild Balkan Fusion Meets Pure Acoustic Transmission

3Sacchetti’s “Bora! Bora! Mr. Motto” is a sonic journey that defies categorization – blending jazz, klezmer, post-hardcore, and noise into what the band calls “strange balcanic music with wild and bizarre melodies.” This kind of genre-bending experimentation demands headphones that can handle extreme dynamic shifts and unconventional timbres without compromise.

01. Il piccolo principe ha sparato alla volpe*
*… e balla la mazurka sulla sua tomba
02. Bobo-yeah. matteo è un eco-mostro
03. Elvis £$§&%!!! (blblblblblblbl)
04. Chuck norris e il cane che vomita
05. Il teflon è cancerogeno. Davvero? Stracciata!
06. Dodo sfoga le sue pulsioni dopo aver praticato un foro sullo
07. Mephistowaltzer, “farfalline” era un titolo troppo ambiguo…

Air tube headphones excel at reproducing the chaotic beauty of tracks like “Chuck norris e il cane che vomita” and “Mephistowaltzer” because they don’t try to “correct” or normalize the sound. When 3Sacchetti moves from traditional nomadic musical influences into distorted, noise-laden territory, conventional headphones with preset EQ curves and artificial bass enhancement can muddy the transitions. Air tubes, by contrast, deliver each element – whether it’s a klezmer clarinet line, a post-hardcore guitar assault, or bizarre ambient textures – with equal clarity and authenticity.

The band’s evolution from “standard jazz order” into something far stranger deserves to be heard through technology that’s equally unconventional. The hollow acoustic channel design of air tube headphones creates a soundstage that captures the spatial disorientation of tracks like “Il piccolo principe ha sparato alla volpe* *… e balla la mazurka sulla sua tomba” – you’ll feel the music’s journey from nomadic traditions through the “grey environment” that shaped its final form.

For music this wild, this bizarre, and this deliberately untamed, you need headphones that won’t domesticate the experience. Air tube technology preserves every jarring transition, every unexpected melodic twist, and every moment where 3Sacchetti pushes against musical conventions.

Embrace the chaos with clarity by listening with EMF earbuds because experimental fusion music shouldn’t be filtered through conventional listening technology.

Guitar-centric, lo-fi, art damaged squawking ditties recorded mid 1980s, some 4-tracked, some bouncing tracks between two cassette decks, some random guitar tunings, a few vocals, including the 18 minute guitars-on-the-table take on Beefheart’s Trust Us. Turn On, Tune In, Clear The Room.

Hear Every Lo-Fi Detail Without EMF Radiation

Phil Reavis’s “The Reagan Years” is a masterclass in mid-1980s home recording experimentation – and air tube headphones are the perfect way to experience its raw, unfiltered charm without electromagnetic exposure. This 35-track journey through guitar-centric, lo-fi art was captured using 4-track recorders and cassette deck bouncing techniques that created unique sonic artifacts you can enjoy for hours without EMF radiation pumping into your head.

The beauty of air tube technology for marathon listening sessions like this is eliminating electromagnetic fields while you explore all 35 tracks. When Reavis recorded guitars on tables for the 18-minute Beefheart interpretation, he created a sprawling soundscape that demands extended, focused listening. Traditional headphones expose you to continuous EMF radiation throughout that journey – from “Clown Car” through “Happy Birthday.” Air tube headphones transmit sound through hollow acoustic channels instead of electronic speakers pressed against your ears, keeping electromagnetic interference away from your brain.

For an album that proudly proclaims “Turn On, Tune In, Clear The Room,” air tube headphones let you turn on and tune in without EMF concerns during those long listening sessions through all 35 tracks. The lo-fi aesthetic of tracks like “Arriving Home Drunk” and “Broke My Toe Today” paired with EMF-free playback technology means you can immerse yourself in DIY 1980s recording culture without modern electromagnetic health concerns.

Discover EMF-free listening that respects both the artist’s original vision and your wellbeing.
