Ed Herbers released the second of his seasonal themed albums just in time for the Vernal Equinox - Season Cycle: Spring. And as Ed says, 'what's not to love about springtime?'

A mushroom in black and white, growing from a tree trunk near the forest floor

Did faeries shelter under this broad, flat fruiting body? I think they might have.

Eulogy for an American Dream, by David Aimone 8 track album

February saw David Aimone's Eulogy for an American Dream. Inspired by current events David says 'I think it came out as dark experimental ambient, with four songs that are less dark and more melodic. It's a journey that soothes the mind, nerves and soul'

It's good! Looking forward to the album. 😀

This is not an album. This is just the new Boards of Canada video teaser that was dropped 10 minutes ago. I AM FREAKING OUT

Strategy of Tension, by Exit Chamber 8 track album

Our first album release was January's Strategy of Tension by Exit Chamber, detailing various shady political strategies with the maxim of know your history lest it be repeated. A fine collection of ambient music:

Can confirm. Went to see Project Hail Mary at the local Regal Cinema - for me & the Mrs, one soda, one popcorn was ~ $70. Great movie, but not $70 great.

A false color (purple) pieris plant blurred by camera movement

Hidden in the bits and bytes, new forms emerge: angular facets, sharp edges coalescing in ridged curtains of light.

A close up of an amethyst crystal

Hedron faces of amethyst form tiny peaks and crags, whole worlds for motes of dust.

A forest scene with two mushrooms, some decaying logs, ferns, and other undergrowth plants

The fecund facets of the forest floor feature flora for Fridays and for you!

9, maybe a 10 or 11 if it's going into a smoothie

Purple Halloween lights blurred into abstract swirls by lens distortion and camera motion

The Hanged Man wields hadron particles like a thick blanket, a useless shield against the onslaught, subatomic and fleeting, coalescing then annihilating as energy waxes and wanes.

Illuminated clouds against a deep blue sky

Gaseous halon filaments float listlessly across a frozen sky - bromine? bromide? We're all just vapor compressing for the next expansion.

Blue and orange light reflected in privacy glass

Composite subatomic particles, geometric, gaseous, under compression, slowly billowing into self-awareness . . .

I think your progression is pretty close though. Storm-Kiln enables Mica's copying, and you end up with a doubled spell and a left-over Treasure. Bolt > Kiln makes Treasure 1 > sac Treasure 1 to Mica to copy Bolt > Kiln makes Treasure 2 (and can really go off if you're Storming on anything).
