Hallow by Herd of Instinct

Hallow is a radical remix/reimaging/reconstruction of Herd of Instinct’s music. The progressive rock originals have been transformed into slow moving soundscapes.

Inspiration came from a wide range of sources - Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” to the drone metal of Sunn O))) to David Lynch's Eraserhead to Bill Laswell’s ambient mix translations of Bob Marley and Miles Davis.
