Of all the shadowy government and government adjacent agencies that we may or may not be aware of, the ERA is a particularly peculiar one. In an age of surveillance when every aspect of our lives have been mapped to the data-sphere, where we have become more or less computational beings with identities boiled down to 1s and 0s, the idea of a top secret organization dedicated to listening at the fringes of our rapidly transforming planet may seem weird. The organization was doomed from birth and has been regarded by many in power as one of the most expensive art projects to βnever exist on paperβ- in other words, a waste. I was approached by a confidential informant, a previously deactivated (and potentially fugitive) agent of ERA with what remained of a recovery drive pulled from some kind of larger agency repository. This informat, who goes by the alias Jack Nightingale, has revealed little to me beyond the existence of ERA and the details that I have already shared. In our correspondence Jack has conveyed that the fate of the agency and the status of its deep cover agents are currently unknown, as each cell operates in secrecy, sending audio logs back to a master βPhantom Codexβ. We decided that the best way to share this audio intelligence with the world, for it to at once draw the least attention from authorities, but reach the most ears, was to release it as a music record. I have not heard from Jack in sometime, but I await their next contact. β Grant Bouvier
Notes and errata available when recovery log was pulled from repo:
*Logs with dates and locations unlisted and not referenced in repository ERA codex are of unknown origin, potentially archival in nature, or produced from now fugitive agencies.
**Current field agent cohort captures incomplete as of 20xx, awaiting analog cataloging at satellite outposts.

Music From is comprised of three pieces of music by three separate artists (Outgrower, PMJJ and The Zion Curtain), yet the half hour that passes from note one of track one to the end of track three moves is a cohesive aural experience, even though there are many moods covered in the time allotted.
A near-uniform track length (each artist offers up ten minutes) certainly augments that cohesion, as does a sort of two-part song structure. A(eon)F

Gothic Tech is raw data, many stories told with these tracks. β³Β§αMΜΆRΜ³ excels in crafting albums that stand alone, ambitious and bold musical statements that v i b r a t e in an already vibrant scene. This album also works on shuffle as well as any singles collection, which is a testament to the quality of the material. Emotionally resonant stuff.
Great feature from β p r i s m e r β (fka maggie.wav) on βNew Godsβ! A(eon)F
