TETSU INOUE arrives next on Infraction, possibly one of the
worlds finest contemporary ambient electronics labels. We've had superb
releases in the past year by
Milieu & Beautumn & now Tetsu's 'World
Receiver' hits Norman records in the face with it's 10 year anniversary
re-issue. This is the marriage of field recordings & deep analogue
ambience & honestly, this is classic stuff. Proper mind expanding
headphone symphonies from the outer realms of the galaxy. Imagine
floating over grand glaciers in a hot air balloon pumping this from a
ghetto blaster. A lot of
today's practitioners such as Pan American I can see being
inspired by these delicate sounds & minimal atmospherics. A subtle
orbiting sphere of soothing music I wanna take home & be absorbed
in. Lovely gear.....
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Nothing less than an ambient classic! World Receiver has been out of print for far too long. A damn near perfect blend of environmental recordings from literally all over the world with Inoue's nuanced atmospheres surrounding them. This will be an edition of 800 copies, featuring a 6 panel digipak. This is not remastered, retouched or remixed. It is superb as is, it needed no updating - only to be available again.
