Unlike his previous and primarily acoustic guitar affairs, Mr. Gibbon\u2019s latest album showcases a higher level of experimentation and varied sounds and techniques. Samples of viola, cello, trumpets, and other various sound forms are incorporated in the well-established 500mg guitar-based framework. Voices (and not just the ones in your psyche) can also be heard, even prominently on two tracks, one being Mr. Gibbon\u2019s take on the Stones\u2019 \u201cSister Morphine.\u201dProgrammed and sequenced as two suites, \u201cTo The Firmament\u201d takes the listener on a cinematically dreamlike stated journey. Through the album\u2019s use of spoken-word, sub-conscious visions may appear real upon multiple listens. All of this, of course, is quite heavy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pressed on 180-gram vinyl with an 22\/11\u201d foldout poster included, the LP is limited to 350 copies. An unlimited download version is also available.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"credits-label\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\" style=\"text-align: center;\">released 31 July 2015<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 500mg \u00a0&#8216;To The Firmament&#8217; &#8220;To The Firmament\u201d is the third and finest album released from 500mg, Michael Gibbons of Bardo Pond.
