After countless delays in recent times, we are excited to break the silence and kick off a series of announcements! First up is the long-awaited reissue of the outstanding Psychonavigation series, created by the legendary artists Bill Laswell and Pete Namlook. From 1994 to 2002, the brilliant producers Bill Laswell and Pete Namlook released a series of five works under the title Psychonavigation—a rare gem for fans of heavy ambient collaboration. Masterfully playing with genres and refusing to be confined by any boundaries, they were mutually in awe of each other's talents and delivered numerous significant projects, including the iconic Outland, The Dark Side Of The Moog, and of course, Psychonavigation. This stunning palette of musical styles ranges from Space, Dark, and Drone Ambient to Electro and cosmic Downtempo, through dense layers of Dub to almost industrial, mechanical techno spaces. These five albums are like personal spacecraft traveling at faster-than-light speeds, carrying five keys to eternity and infinity.
The reissue anthology comes in a 5CD box set, with each disc housed in its own envelope, featuring a brand-new design and a complete set of audio materials. The package also includes an exclusive poster with an essay about the project, written by Bill Laswell in Winter 2024. Now, 30 years after the release of the first part of Psychonavigation, the anthology is available in a single box!
