Spirit Of Akasha & Morning Of The Earth Limited Boxsets

This is pretty cool- in the merch stack for the Spirit Of Akasha tour that arrived (late) from Australia, there were the last 2 limited box sets for the films. Both are sealed and and fabulously deluxe- the Akasha box contains the double soundtrack CD, the MOTE redux vinyl, the double Akasha vinyl, a 7" single with bonus tracks, a fantastic 120 pg photo book, a t-shirt and a poster! The MOTE box meanwhile features the original film soundtrack (which holds up seriously well) as well as the  MOTE Reimagined version, both on CD and vinyl, a 7" single, a 120pg book with Alby's original images from the film as well as a shirt and a poster. Well cool, and as far as we know the last two available. Price is $130 each, email info @ foamandfunction.com for details.

Psychic Migrations

This is premiering tonight in Newport Beach and will be henceforth out in the world and so worth the effort to see. RT is a scholar and a gentleman as well as a bloody good filmmaker, Burch is a complete goof and Ozzy Wright a madman, but all 3 are epic surfers. Definitely better than me, probably better than you. Check this out.

Akasha Travels

Since we're just making the tour mech available (it arrived more or less at the end of the West Coast sojourn- thanks Fed Ex) here's shots from the central California portion of the tour. Thanks again to D. Parmenter & P. Trefz for their hospitality and to all those who came out to see the film. As mentioned, soundtrack vinyl and CDs are available, email us at info @  foamandfunction.com and we'll sort you out.....

Morning Of The Earth Soundtrack

Alby Falzon's 1971 opus 'Morning Of The Earth' absolutely resonates for a certain sector of the surf culture (and the simple fact you're looking at this blog means you're probably part of that sector), it's a defining moment and to this day an inspiration. Full of absolutely iconic moments- MP's cutback- and a vision of what surf culture was (and could be) in gentler, more considered times it stands up to repeated viewings to this day. Integral to the film is the soundtrack, and we're absolutely stoked to be able to make it available in the US for the first time. As a quite brilliant bonus, the original soundtrack is packaged with the Reimagined version which is the original covered by contemporary acts including the Windy Hills, Bonnie Prince Billy, Tom Curren, The Goons Of Doom, Pond and Mick Turner amongst others. Epic. Available as limited double vinyl for $35, regular double CD for $15 or deluxe double CD packaged with a book of Alby's original images for $25. There's also copies of the movie in PAL format for $25. Simply email info @ foamandfunction.com to order or ask questions, and this can soon be on high rotate in your home or your car as you head to the beach, much as it is around here.
