Bardo by Whooom
Bardo is about the psychedelic journey you soul goes through in the intermediate state. Here one is confronted with the clearest experiences of reality, visual and audial phenomena & spontaneous hallucinations. The songs are made so is does not matter which side you listen to first so there is no beginning or ending.
The recording process has been done the old fashioned way and we are really proud to say that Bardo is a 100% analog record. We recorded to tape, mixed and mastered to tape and the vinyl is cut straight from the master tape. The record has 2 big songs that each fill up a side Sidpa & Chikhai, these have been recorded with all of us playing live in the same room no cuts or drop ins. The dubs have been kept to the bare minimum some throat singing, Udu drum in the intro of Chikhai and a second guitar which was also recorded in one pass, no cuts or drop ins.
