Wizards by JD Emmanuel

5...according to our on Thu 12 Aug, 2010.

This reissue times in nicely with the current wave of new age synth and Kosmische records flying around at the moment. Apparently original copies are like rocking horse shit and go for mega wonga. This has been cut from the original analogue masters and sounds great. This is a five track meditation to take the listener into the realm of people with magical powers who have a unique relationship with the universe. If that all sounds a bit too Warhammer/Lord Of The Rings then you can simply enjoy the enchanting sounds of the Crumar Traveler-1 and Sequential Circuits Pro-One synthesizers. I must admit listening to this for the second time I'm getting quite into it... I might nip out and get some healing crystals... Heheh seriously though, I think under the right conditions, this record could really take me places.

A few weeks later >>> Yeah this is absolute genius!!! CLASSIC stuff : )

With so much being made of current practitioners of the Kosmiche/New Age vibe here's your opportunity to hear an original. Copies from the original pressing rarely surface and even the 2007 repress (which sounded quite thin) commands quite a fee on internet auction sites. This straight analog pressing sounds as close to the original master tapes as you can get. 500 made. Pressed at RTI. "If you have been wondering what all the fuss about "private press new age" is, go here to find out. Your mind shall be subtly blown..." Fader "Wizards was my first deep trance electronic music album. This album was inspired by Terry Riley , one of the earliest people ever to compose and perform long, extended, cyclic pieces in the electronic format. This music was composed and performed in '81 and '82.I consider this album my best work.J.D. Emmanuel
