Jay Arrigo - Organic Synthesis

JAY ARRIGO - ORGANIC SYNTHESIS
TEA productions
197?

ive had my eye on this record for awhile. finally found a copy out in San Fran. it has one of the coolest record covers EVER.
but the music is not much to write home about. kind of sub-par acoustic piano noodlings (a la Halpern), but not a bad record either. it has some very NEW AGE liner notes that make for a good read. i scanned in the booklet from the LP too, youll find a PDF archive of that in .zip file. don't really know much about jay arrigo at all....he had some sort of thing called TEA meditation classes or something.

"Organic Synthesis is an itinerary of the landscape of the soul - imagery for the four levels of being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - definable, related and connected through awareness, reachable through selective awareness and the colors and shapes we create for their expression. Experience the elusive melodies of fleeting moods, the energetic, pulsating spiral towards spiritual orgasm, the subtle silken imagery of joy and bliss, the clarity and precision of pure perception."

huh?
enjoy!!!

Michel Genest - Ascension

MICHEL GENEST - ASCENSION
1986
sona gaia productions

this is pushing a little further into the 80's than i usually like to go, but i just scored this LP out in san francisco and it hit me hard. this is pure synthesizer music fantasy scapes. i see castles and crystals and fairies when i listen to this one. i mean, if i didnt tell you this was michel genest, i could release this as a limited edition cassette and put 'ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER - ASCENSION' on the spine and it would sell out in 3 minutes...im not demeaning mr. lopatin at all here. in fact, he is one my favorite dudes around and i love his music...but here at CV we like to share the music of our predecessors / true new age warriors / heard and unheard inspirations / vibes / space musicians. giving everything a chance to exist & enjoy AS IT IS!

"VISIONARY SYNTHESIZER MUSIC"

Marc Barreca - Twilight

MARC BARRECA - TWILIGHT
1980
palace of lights

a lovely little gem from marc barreca. instrumental dream spaces from this seattle based musician.
synths, drum machines, kalimbas, electronics, guitars, bells, sax & field recordings all combine to create some lovely soundscapes here. fog and rain and darkness and sunshine and oceans...
reminding me of nuno canavarro, roedelius, nobukazu takemura, deuter's first album, etc.....
thanks to mike p. for turning me on to this one.

you can still order these two LPs (or cassettes) directly from mathieu's cold mountain music

"If only we could see the air it would look like music sounds. Sometimes when dark birds fly against the sky the air does become visible. Then flocks of birds are like chords, and their flight patterns bring out the harmonies of the atmosphere."
