SONG OF THE DAY: Windy & Carl - Consciousness (2001)


"Consciousness" proves that guitars can be used as effectively as electronics when it comes to making ambient music.  Windy & Carl allow their swirling guitar loops to gradually build and ascend, transforming these 12 minutes into what feels like an eternity (in a good way).  This is the kind of song that one might consult in a desperate moment, as a deliverance from the abyss, a penultimate glimpse of illumination before redemption, and a proclamation that resounds, "Hallelujah! Blessed be Windy & Carl."
