Curious Merchandise by Ben Prunty
Creepy orchestral. Sci-fi noir. A thing that might be trance music from a parallel universe. Ominous atmospheres. When you step into Curious Merchandise, you'll never know what you'll find on its shelves.
Here is an eclectic mix of music written specifically for this album, plus a selection of other tracks from various unfinished projects. Weird industrial? Track 14. Crazy circus? Track 11. The closest Ben will probably ever get to trance? Track 2. Some of the pieces come from as far back as 2007, some from as recent as a month ago.
Just like the mysterious items found in a magic pawn shop, each piece seems as though it is part of something larger. Keep listening, and you might get a momentary glimpse into some strange new world.
