Traditional Psychedelic Electronic Music (Planet 2)

Alex Bundy from San Francisco, CA-via-Portland, OR is the man in question operating the ambient trajectories of Planetarium Music, a heavenly electronic orchestra raining down like a vibrant meteor shower from the constellations high above. Many of you may know Mr. Bundy as a member of drone-rock-scrapers Yume Bitsu, for whom he has performed the duties of keyboards and electronic sound generation since their onset. Through his Planetarium Music project, Bundy explores a style of electronic music that originated with predominantly German artists in the early 70's such as Tangerine Dream, Cluster, Klaus Schulze and Popol Vuh's first couple of albums, and was carried through the 80's by artists such as Robert Rich, Steve Roach and Jeff Greinke. In the process of mining this oft-maligned, almost forgotten style of experimental electronic music, Planetarium Music has constructed an absolute gem of lush drone-and-drift, the almost Smithsonian Folkways-ian titled Traditional Psychedelic Electronic Music (Planet 2).
