Sky Cries Mary’s 1993 album A Return to the Inner Experience is a sprawling, psychedelic journey unlike almost anything else out of Seattle in the 90s. Formed in the late 1980s, Sky Cries Mary blends elements of trance, space rock, ambient textures, and spoken word, and this album marked their first major label release, giving them wider exposure. Across 17 tracks, the record flows like a hallucinatory dream, shifting between hypnotic rhythms, swirling guitar effects, and ethereal male-female vocal interplay from Roderick Wolgamott and Anisa Romero.  At once atmospheric and tribal, the record reflects the early ’90s fascination with both electronic textures and post-psychedelic exploration, balancing cosmic ambition and underground sensibility.
