Paisley Babylon Giveaway at HorrorHound Weekend

Turntabling-13-Unusual-Trac

The image above is part of the cover art for the Turntabling.net limited edition promo CD, 13 Unusual Tracks. Paisley Babylon is prominently featured on this free promo CD, which will be given away at the Turntabling Booth at the HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnati this weekeend (November 20-22).

Joe Wallace, the warped mind behind Paisley Babylon and Turntabling.net, will be running the Turntabling booth at the show and giving away the CDs. There’s quite a buzz about this limited-edition promo disc and the last batch of them went so fast we could hardly keep track of them flying off the table.

Get to HorrorHound early and be sure to grab your copy of the Turntabling Records promo CD, 13 Unusual Tracks. You can get times, directions and a list of featured celebrities scheduled to appear at this year’s show.

Alas, Paisley Babylon will not be PERFORMING, but the discs will make up for that, we hope. Maybe next year–especially if you ask the people at the door if Paisley is playing at the fest. Not that we’d encourage that or anything…

Paisley Babylon in Wildclaw Theatre Trailer

Paisley Babylon’s activity in 2009 included scoring the Wildclaw Theatre trailer for The Revenants. If you missed the Chicago-based Wildclaw Theatre production of Scott T. Barsotti’s play, you’ll have to settle for viewing the trailer, but word has it this has caught on and is in production in other cities and may be playing near you sooner than you think. Paisley Babylon is definitely interested in doing more trailers and other film work–The Revenants wasn’t the first, and certainly won’t be the last!

Paisley Babylon Gets Active

This site has been very quiet since it hit the web nearly a year ago. That’s coming to an end as Paisley Babylon has been ramped up after a long period of dormancy. Coming to this space—lots of Paisley Babylon-related material. We’d say stay tuned, but that’s been said here for a year or more…now we’re up and running.

The journey continues into the new decade.

Download Paisley Babylon Midnight Hallucinations

The New CD by Paisley Babylon, Midnight Hallucinations. Paisley Babylon is Joe Wallace on Turntabling Records

Paisley Babylon’s Midnight Hallucinations is a trippy journey through the dark underbrush of the subconscious. Founding member Joe Wallace says the new CD is full of strange vibrations–the sort of feelings you get in fever dreams and chemically altered states of mind.

Paisley Babylon has been compared to Aphex Twin, Funky Porcini, Eno, Coil and Cluster. Midnight Hallucinations isn’t quite like any of it, but occupies what Wallace calls “the same musical zip code.”

Paisley Babylon is known for it’s trippy, mindbending sound–especially live. What could be initially mistaken for sinister elevator music mutates into unusua frequencies that are actually danceable without losing their ether-like effect. Hunter Thompson would likely ask whether Midnight Hallucinations could be bottled, poured into a rag and inhaled before venturing into a Vegas casino in search of the American Dream.
You’ll have dreams allright, but chances are they’ll be full of lysergic, out-of-body isolation tank floating.
