With its origin in the Gaelic celebration, "Samhain". Halloween is my favorite holiday for so many reasons. I like to carve my own sonic pumpkin to mark the occasion. Speaking of pumpkins.

June 10th is 25 years to the day that Laural Palmer said she would return to Twin Peaks. To celebrate, we have two special releases coming to Aural Films. First is a new album by MHZ (Mike Honeycutt and Jack Hertz) titled, "The Angles Have All Gone Away."

This album is a sonic return to Ridley Scott's gritty film noir world that was painted over Philip K Dick's canvas for "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep." Each composition is an extended meditation on the people, places, and encounters found in this unique cinematic vision that fuses the past with our own future.
