Product details
Lost Transmissions weaves amongst brambled pathways to take in the haunted soundscapes of electronica, the rise of the occult in the 1970s, cinema and television's dystopian dreamscapes and hauntological work which creates and gives a glimpse into parallel worlds. It is a recording of a personal journey that delves amongst both the esoteric fringes and mainstream of culture, and which at times holds a shadowed scrying mirror up to the modern world and some of its ills, while also reflecting visions of a hopeful future in its depths. Alongside other experimenters in electronic sound the book explores Boards of Canada's invoking of "the past inside the present"; Paul Weller's visiting of Ghost Box Records' elsewhere universe; work by Cosey Fanni Tutti, Hannah Peel and the reformed Radiophonic Workshop, and their collaborations across time with electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire; Dominik Scherrer and Natasha Khan's summoning of "pastoral spook" via a hidden language of angels; and takes a trip in the company of fairground and rural ghosts conjured up on records released by Castles in Space. Alongside these it examines the paranormal and "worlds beyond" via the semi-lost supernatural-orientated television series Leap in the Dark which included work by Alan Garner and David Rudkin, Sharron Kraus' contemporary investigations into the preternatural and the conjuring of modern-day phantasms in Luciana Haill's artwork. The book also includes an intertwined consideration of the "deluxe dystopias" that can be found in films such as Rollerball and Andrew Niccol's Gattaca and prescient views of the future's past & media collusion in film and television including Nigel Kneale's work and the overlooked corners of science fiction. * * * * * The book is released as part of the A Year In The Country project, which since 2014 via the posts on its website, artwork, music and book releases has explored the wyrd, eerie and re-enchanted landscape, folk horror, the further reaches of folk music and culture and the spectral parallel worlds of hauntology. * * * "A Year In The Country make excellent music and excellent books about all things dark rural, folk horror, liminal England and hauntology." Stuart Maconie, Freak Zone, BBC Radio 6 * * * "A Year In The Country epitomises the confluence of interest and dark synergy between nature, myth, occultism and ghost traces of hauntological memory." Rob Young, The Magic Box

Specifications
Title
A Year In The Country: Lost Transmissions: Dystopic Visions, Alternate Realities, Paranormal Quests and Exploratory Electronica
Issue
Multiple books share the title "A Year in the Country", leading to potential confusion. There are variations in genre, content, and author. One version focuses on British wildlife photography, another on electronic music and occult culture, and a third on personal essays about life on a farm. This ambiguity makes it difficult to definitively identify a single "issue" without further specification.
