SOUNDWAVE : 33 : PALEOWOLF

Today’s SOUNDWAVE features a mix of select tracks from Paleowolf!

I’ve been sitting on a handful of mixes since I invited guest deejays on SOUNDWAVE. If they were going to be generous with their time and efforts to send me a mix then I could be patient and release my own mixes on a later date. And at long last I can finally share with you today’s mix of select tracks from Paleowolf.

I got turned on to Paleowolf when Warren Ellis raved about Paleowolf’s album, Megafauna Rituals. I’ve been waiting for an album like Megafauna Rituals for decades since listening to Brian Eno’s Ambient 4: On Land album. Yes, yes, I know that album is an imaginary soundscape the captures the essence of Eno’s England but I didn’t know that when I first heard it. To me On Land was more of a touchstone to our Paleolithic past.

Speaking of the Paleolithic, Paleowolf’s music is the soundtrack to a lot of Ice Age role playing games such as Würm, Paleomythic and my own homebrew game based on the Strain rule set. You might want to incorporate it into your own game if that’s your bag.

Paleowolf’s new album, Primordial II

Scorpio V is the man behind Paleowolf and I was hoping to have him on the show to be a guest deejay but the guy is busy. After looking at all his releases and side projects I don’t think the poor bastard has time to eat or sleep. In fact, as I write this his latest album, Primordial II, will be released November 16. Maybe after this album I can get him to guest deejay on SOUNDWAVE.

If you dig today’s show you’ll want to check out Scorpio VI’s other projects such as Orkforge, Metatron Omega and Forest of Yore.

Ana Roxanne’s new album, Because of a Flower

Before I head out, I want to turn you on to Ana Roxanne’s new album, Because of a Flower. I’ve been a fan of Ana’s music since her 2020 album, ~~~, so much so that I featured her track, “It’s a Rainy Day On The Cosmic Shore,” on the first edition of SOUNDWAVE.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be offthesky.
