Description
Artist: J.D. Emmanuel Title: Wizards North Star Productions NSP - 2003 Stereo Condition: Media - Near Mint Jacket - Near Mint. Still in shrink Notes: Private press Progressive New Age lp from Houston, Texas. Here's a review from Volcanic Tongue; Obscure 1982 private-press minimalist synth/trance masterpiece, more talked about than actually heard and a secret influence on much recent underground activity, from Wolf Eyes through The Skaters. Indeed John Olson was the first person I ever heard talking it up, describing it as sounding like "Corwood jamming Alpha Centauri" and that still feels like as good an approximation of the weirdly personal Kosmiche universe that Emmanuel floats through on this amazing side as you're likely to get. There are keyboard lines so pure that they sound like they are etched into the air via beams of dazzling light, the kind of celestial melodies and hosanna hymns most commonly associated with the heavy devotional cloak of mid-period Popol Vuh, occult drones that sound endlessly deep and a very personal cosmology that balances cracked 'real people' mysto-universe musings with everything that the term New Age might've been, had it been primarily practiced by future-bending loners in private Sirius-channelling lodges situated at the cardinal points of the earth. Something so completely lonesome about this that every time you spin it in the early hours it feels as if the very world has stopped spinning. Shipping Info: I WILL BE ON VACATION FROM JUNE 22 - 25.
