extramoopy Probably one of the greatest ambient albums of all time. I hope hallmark keeps making music, his style of builing worlds and textures and describing situations without even saying a word is unrivaled in its mastery. Thank you hallmark '87 Favorite track: ＰＯＷＥＲＳＴＡＴＩＯＮ.

Televiper Lost in a building with no distinguishing characteristics. Favorite track: ＰＯＷＥＲＳＴＡＴＩＯＮ.

access_hologram I absolutely love Hallmark 87's Brutalism series! Academy is a worthy sequel to Atrium as it evolves the sound while still capturing the vibe of brutalist architecture. This time you have overcome the initial fear and intimidation heard in Atrium and fully commit to exploring the building. Favorite track: ＭＥＧＡＤＡＴＡ.

about

05/13/2017: The day I dreamt of the ＡＣＡＤＥＭＹ

Sharp angles, sheer blank concrete walls, no natural light, and not a single person to be found. The occasional sound of footsteps, quiet chatter, or an old telephone ringing were all I could hear. It was the scene of what seemed like a dystopian horror film. But instead, it felt calm and inspiring. Like somewhere behind those atrium walls, in classrooms and laboratories, breakthrough discoveries were being made. And so I stayed for hours, just taking in all of the sights and ethereal reverberated sounds.

But as the day came to an end, the ＡＣＡＤＥＭＹ transformed. Everything was fading to black. As the last bell rang, it seemed as though I was the only person left. All of the students and professors had left their labs, and I was stuck in the dark atrium with no way out...

Originally released on DMT Tapes in the summer of 2019, Hallmark '87 presents the successor to the acclaimed A T R I U M release, now on cassette.
