No Objective Reality

 

Last month when I shared Sinoia Caves - Beyond the Black Rainbow OST, I realized that I was slightly familiar with project main-man Jeremy Schmidt. He was keyboard player for the Vancouver, B.C. psychedlic rock band Black Mountain, a band I was also slightly familiar with through their connection to Daniel Bejar who I used to listen to as Destroyer. 

Well it turns out Schmidt was in another Vancouver band called Pipedream made up of Dr. Roberts & DT from another Vancouver band Readymade.

Jeremy Schmidt is best known as an analog synth wizard, a cosmic voyager, & actually Vancouver's godfather of contemporary space rock. Schmidt has spent the greater part of the last two decades cementing a reputation as the West coast's resident go-to guy for interplanetary synth sorcery. His space explorations began in the early 90s as part of this band, Pipedream, a Spacemen 3-inspired three-piece.

It is a shame in my opinion that they only released two full-lengths & a single single. I gathered up both of their long-players but never shared them so they ended up in Overflow. Here they are for your listening pleasure...
