thepimpishere There is a sense of calmness from this tape and I feel this is beautifully done and thanks to the people keeping this mans legacy alive. Wonderful music and I would highly recommend this to anyone getting into this kind of music Favorite track: Drifting Across the River.

oliver87 Probably the most ambient Secret Stairways release, these tracks belong to the same ehtereal, achingly sentimental world as "Lichen" by Aphex Twin or "An Ending" by Brian Eno. Favorite track: Drifting Across the River.

Televiper Melancholic ambient music with a fantastic web of musical inferences. Highly reminiscent of the best 80’s fantasy movie scores. Favorite track: Westgate.

about

This short mini-album was originally part of a split cassette release circa 1995. Very few original copies were made, even fewer survive. What is available here was digitized from the original master tape, as it was found in 2020 (tape hiss and all).
This will be made available on cassette with the addition of a few tracks from other projects from the same time period to round out the 30 minutes on the tape by the end of October, 2022.
