Aldebaran (Disc 4)

Abramelin & The Dance of the Moon & The Sun?

Lily Dale was incorporated in 1879 as Cassadaga Lake Free Association, a camp and meeting place for Spiritualists and Freethinkers in upstate New York. Each summer, approximately 22,000 visitors arrive in Lily Dale for classes, workshops, and church services, as well as demonstrations and private appointments with mediums.  The town's name was changed to The City of Light in 1903 and finally to Lily Dale Assembly in 1906. The purpose of Lily Dale is to further the science, philosophy, and religion of Spiritualism.

The Book of Abramelin tells the story of an Egyptian mage named Abra-Melin, who taught a system of magic to Abraham of Worms, presumed to have lived from 1362–1458. The system of magic from this book regained popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries partly due to Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers' The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage and partly to its importance within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and later within the mystical system of Thelema.

What all this has to do with Disc 4 of the Natural Snow Buildings 2016 album Aldebaran is revealed by the disc's track list:

1. Camp Lily Dale (12:25)
2. The Summer Land (15:15)
3. Abramelin (3:46)
4. Burried Circles (11:43)
5. Ectoplasm Rain (2:20)

There's really not much variation among these tracks other than a few distinct layers are added here or dropped there.  It's mostly just more of the standard NSB horror/noise drone attack, in case you didn't get enough of it in CDs 1, 2, and 3.  The only track that sounds audibly different from the rest is the short Ectoplasm Rain at the end of the disc, which consists mainly of layers of wordless voices.
