Mythical Human Vessel - 6 panel digipak
$14.00

Paul Masvidal’s (Cynic, Death, Aeon Spoke, Onward with Love) critically acclaimed trilogy Mythical Human Vessel is now available in an exclusive 6-panel Digipak edition. It features 15 tracks from the albums Mythical, Human, and Vessel, plus three bonus tracks remixed by producer/mixer Warren Riker. The trilogy offers a rare glimpse into Masvidal’s most intimate and raw songwriting.

Each song features therapeutic psychoacoustic isochronic tones designed by Brian Eno lauded audio engineer Stéphane Pigeon. These tones are used to support serotonin release, ease depression and stress, improve focus, and promote restful sleep. By incorporating them, “Mythical Human Vessel” was shaped as “an inherently relaxing listening experience and adding the tones multiplied the benefits,” Masvidal says.

Produced by Warren Riker, the album marks a clear departure from Masvidal’s previous work, yet it stays true to his refusal to fit into easy categories or expectations.

“Mythical Human Vessel is certainly a departure from Cynic. Elliott Smith is a touchstone, and Masvidal’s voice is sometimes reminiscent of Thom Yorke. Warren Riker, who produced the series, gave it an airy feel, with subtle flourishes of pedal steel guitar and keyboard fleshing out the music but never getting in Masvidal’s way.”
