Luminous Paints... Golau Glau





The sublime Golau Glau provide the first track for this album with a song entitled 'Seeing this shape'.

Its a track which conjures up images of otherworldly colours and strange happenings in a normal suburban situation..



The sound of Golau Glau is unique, different and has a very pleasant alien quality to it which suits this album very well. They have coined the term 'Silver pop' which describes their work beautifully.

Often working anonymously, they are mainly a collective of musicians, artists and photographers and have had their work recognized by the likes of the BBC and the Guardian newspaper..




It's an interesting point of fact that Golau Glau reference 'Luminous paints' in their song as there is a 'deleted sequence' from Close Encounters of the Third Kind in which Roy pinches the kid's Luminous paint for his railway set.. This sequence actually makes an appearance in the Marvel Comic book version of the movie from 1977..

Coming Soon...


For those who have an interest, or at least a passing interest in this classic and often forgotten Spielberg movie, this is a 'promotional' blog as well as a 'go to' place for random information and facts connected to the sights and sounds of CE3K..

Very soon, there will be an album release of tracks inspired by CE3K.
It will primarily be an 'electronic' affair as it is of wide opinion that the movie has indeed inspired a few artist's out there to pick up a moog or an ARP over the years and start playing electronic music..

The album will be called "Electronic Encounter's - Music Inspired By CE3K", and will be a FREE release.

Details will emerge ASAP.

In the meantime our curator has provided this mix of music inspired again by CE3K and consist's of many artist's and tracks going as far back as the 70's, with sounds from The Interplanetary Sound Workshop & Orchestra to The Carpenters..
We hope you enjoy the mix and we also hope it will Whet your appetite for the forthcoming Electronic Encounter's release...
