“After hearing HUBE’s new track ‘Here With Me’, fans of Ulrich Schnaus, Lush and Cocteau Twins and more should all take note of this album”
We can’t think of a more appropriate explanation for this EP than the quote above, except to tell you that if you’re already familiar with ‘hands upon black earth’(also known as ‘HUBE’), you’re in for a treat. However if you are being freshly introduced to ‘HUBE’, then you’re about to have your mind opened and a wind of sultry bliss and melancholy and uplifting freqencies are about to cascade into wherever you feel your music most.
The EP includes a remix of ‘Artemis - Subterranean’ that was also included on her remix album Orbits as well as a remix of HUBE’s track ‘Inspiralized’ by Mystical Sun is added for good measure and ends the EP in thoroughly uplifting mood.

Containing layered symbols and hidden devotions, hands upon black earth is a representation of a process of personal exploration and expansion, pushing against convention and expectation. A widely varied yet continuous, lush, 63-minute electronic and acoustic tapestry of auditory experience, this album is a doorway to the seen and unseen.
Influences ranging from ambient, dub, psychedelic downtempo, and lush aural atmospheres. This is both a relaxation album and one to cheer the mind.

hands upon black earth.
In hands upon black earth, composer and performer Bobby Cochran has created a collection of songs as diverse as they are connected, eluding simple categorization. Tying the project together is an occult pattern of will, desire and worship, driven by a sincere passion, fueled by a persistent discontent with his own limitations.
Sensual and pensive. Meditative and exultant. Flowing, languorous beats with a hard and unrestrained backbone. Inspired words. Pain and passion. Desire and expectation. A union of love and will. These are some of the elements that unite to create hands upon black earth.
