Ghost Box 39. Design, as always, is by Julian House.

Entangled Routes by Pye Corner Audio will be the next album on the Ghost Box label, due for release on 26th November. This will be Pye Corner Audio’s fourth album for Ghost Box, and one which forms the final part of a trilogy of imaginary soundtracks for science-fiction scenarios, “the latest installment of which plays with the idea of mycorrhizal networks and attempts by humans to listen in and communicate”.

  1. Joe: Thanks, that’s an odd little story. And, yes, I thought Dennis C. might have included some of those illustrations. One of the covers he did post is by Frank Frazetta, about the only Frazetta cover that isn’t for a genre novel or story collection.

    JulesLt: I think that particular post is restricted to music that’s available on Bandcamp which obviously doesn’t cover everything by an artist with such a long career.
