Ball of Wax 69 Songs: JNA – “Gonna Fly”
When we last heard from JNA, she was making Domenica swoon with the premium grade ’80s style electro-funk track, “Tell Me Why.” Turns out that was just one Ball of Wax ago, but since we’ve had a longer gap than … Continue reading

Ball of Wax 68 Songs: Darryl Blood – “Street Flute”
Ball of Wax mainstay Darryl Blood returns on Volume 68 with “Street Flute,” a mellow contemplative piece that gradually adds instrumentation as it rises from its slumber. At first, sustained synth notes and oceanic wash suggests a somnolent ambient piece, … Continue reading

S. Eric Scribner‘s “Processional” is a solemn affair. Even without the title, the slow, insistent drum beat and swirling soundcape of flute, ambient sounds, and piano manipulations call to mind a long train of dignitaries, possibly from some ancient or … Continue reading
