I was heavily disappointed when this LP didn't arrive with our last score from the Aguirre label. Having been really well into his Wizards LP reissue on Important Records and then grabbing a cheeky download of 'Rain Forest Music' this is/was the next piece in the puzzle of this obscure new age synth practitioner. Originally released on cassette on his North Star Productions label in 1986 and now lovingly issued on heavy duty vinyl. Four super meditative pieces are on offer. Simple in their execution but no less powerful, all created on three Sequential Circuits Pro-One synthesisers along with a Yamaha SK-20. Those subtle playful melodies that he does so well are present here and should go down a treat with those that have been after a copy of this lost gem. Highly recommended.
Re-issue of the AMM tape recorded between 1981 and 1985 by JD Emmanuel, a new age composer who has received a lot of praise from people like Lieven Martens, Wolf Eyes.
These recordings signify Emmanuel's praise to the verloop of the day. Starting off slowly, with morning synth meanderings, walking through the midday, running in the evening and closing the day with midnight meditation.
"Somewhere hidden in the deepest part of the Self is that special place, where One can go within to the most ancient part of one's Self and connect with the origin of Self. Ancien Minimal Meditations reaches into that special place of creation of the Self and its Oneness with the Creator of All."
