New album by Arnoux – Montroe
Here’s another mixture of waves by the bunch of molecules on loan known as Arnoux.

New evolving album by Arnoux
From Arnoux BC
” Mandalas is an evolving album.
The concept is based on the feeling of transience.
The track you are listening to, right now, will be sooner or later deleted and replaced by new material, may it be in form of little collections or single tracks.
New collections or tracks may be ambient, techno, kraut, jazz, whatever.
Each track has a serial number so you can collect them all in your hard-disk and keep this Mandalas’ archive tidy and in chronological order.
I’m not going to keep the removed materal, as any Mandala will be blown away, so if you will, feel free to download and preserve this part of my soul.
Cover art is, of course, subject to transience too, this one is by NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.
Thank your for listening ”
