	tes the band’s most\nrecognizable and widest travelling line-up of Jason S
	idney Sanford\, Mark William\nPearson\, and Daniel Paul Boucher\, whose 20
	08 LP Gong Lake (Table of the\nElements) and 2006 LP Patterns (Les Potager
	s Natures) serve as defining releases\namong the band’s catalogue of over 
	thirty recordings. Wielding their distinctive\nhomemade instruments – a me
	lding of hardware store and landfill – Play Some\nMusic features microtona
	l and macrotonal wire-framed steel guitars as well as\namplified drums\, a
	mplified circular saw blade percussion\, electronics\, and\nfeedback organ
	 to produce a suite of songs\, improvised and composed\, that\nexplore cla
	ssical mythology and the nebulous realm of memory. Always expanding\ntheir
	 sound world\, Neptune’s signature frenetic guitars and drums are joined b
	y\nnew gamelan-like amplified percussion and phantasmagoric electronic tex
	tures\nhovering over its ether.\n\n&lt\;a\nhref="https://sleepinggiantglos
